Johnson Auction Report

[Ryan Anderson]

I took the liberty to fill in for the resident auction reporter of Lincoln land. Steve, I did not take the pictures like you do so I think your job is secure. The items on the auction were from the late Verle Johnson's collection.

Engines:
IHC 3hp M (missing mag) $325
IHC LA (complete) $260
Sandwich 1-1/2 cart $200
IHC w/ pump jack (mostly there) $175
Rock Island 2hp (complete minus magneto magnet, everything stuck) $200
I wish I would have been paying attention and not writing prices when this one sold.

Hercules 1-1/2 (missing mag.) $235
IHC 1-1/2 M (missing mag.) $245
Hercules 5hp (ready to run!) $675

I think that many folks were at the Dennis Polk auction in Oswego, about 30 miles away. (and Sycamore)

I can't forget that I met a fellow Staker, Larry Dunlap, who bought a nice Marseilles one hole corn sheller. I'll get you pictures of mine soon Larry.

Thanks for the post about our sale. I hope those that took the gas engines home will enjoy them as much as our Dad did. We think the tractors all went to good homes also. Kind of hard to see them go down the lane but it was time.
Thanks again for your intrest.
