Good news! I happen to own an authentic vintage show shovel of the snow-plow type that you will only find in authentic snow country. On the morning of Decebver 26, 1980 at Plattsburg AFB, I actually used this amazing device to locate my brother-in-law's MGB and dig it out from over four feet of snow that had fallen over night, in order to get him back to Brunswick Naval Air Station before his leave expired. With this marvelous tool, I was able to accomplish this amazing feet in a mere four hours of back-breaking labor!

So, while this vintage snow shovel has great sentimental value to me, I recognize the scarcity of such implements in Florida and would be willing to part with this essential life-saving tool for a mere $100. Leave a PM if you are ready to prepare yourself for the coming onslaught!
