NAGS HEAD, N.C. (AP) – A wooden carriage from a Civil War cannon lies at the front of the old store, not far from century-old bottles, a World War I helmet, a toothy shark’s jaw and doorknobs washed up from a shipwreck.
The cluttered assortment of the rare, the old and the roughed up was gathered from local beaches over six decades by Nellie Myrtle Pridgen. It is known as the “immaculate collection,” and has a worldwide reputation.
