[Randy Reysen]

Just came across this picture and thought you would like to see. Its either an 8 or 10 hp (what do you think) Sandwich with a Wizard mag. Feel free to cut and copy the picture to any website you may have this one is too cool to keep to myself. Notice the Fairbanks-Morse scale in the background.

That is a pretty neat old photo Randy. My guess on the hp would be 6 or 8.

Randy,
Have not been able to contact you using either the email address I have or through Harry's.
How is progress on repro 1 1/2 hp Sattley muffler and the Stover cream separator gear?? It has been well over a year since I sent you the original muffler & nine months since I've last heard from you. I told you that I was not in a "great hurry" but I think it is about time.

Good morning,
This is my first venture into this Farm Collectibles site. I've had this cover scan of my grandfather's Sandwich Hay Press. I have a couple of pieces of the literature. My dad and brothers loaned the hay press to a neighbor who took the press to his "mountain place". The calendars went by and people died. I finally met the person who bought that mountain place many years later. I mentioned my dad's family owned the old Sandwich Hay Press he had and he said "they did." Then years later, I discovered he'd given it to the old iron club at Lewistown, Montana. I figured it had a good home and it looks fine restored.
