Big engine auction

[CWC]

Well, I spent my lunch break today down at the Miller estate auction site in Shreve Ohio. Let me tell you, if this wasn't an auction it would one heck of a show! Anybody ever see 30 barn fresh Reids, some as big as 40HP all in a row? Its impressive! Not to mention all the big Bessys and halfbreeds. Then there is the rows of Novos and Fairbanks and tons of vintage oil field equipment, plus antique cars trucks and tractors and all the related junk you expect to find at a sale like this. To see all this stuff in one spot almost doesn't seem real. If your going to the sale to buy, you better bring a friend as they will be doing 3 auctioneers at a time all day long. See you there!

Some big stuff in there! I wouldnt mind having the 40hp reid $$ is a bit of an issue though and the space would be the other. I'll stick with my 118 for now.
