didn't know where to post this move or delete if necessary, thanks, some cool stuff , don't know if he was a HAMB'er or not, cool pics and collection either way . http://www.stokesauction.com/photogallery/Offsite2/album/index.html
Utterly amazing collection - and not dusty either, so you know he loved his "stuff". I'm surprised that with his automobilia and petrolania that there are no cars. Perhaps they're being sold separately or there weren't any. Somebody on the HAMB must know this person.
I'd load up and run over there if I thought there was a chance I could bid high enough to get the air compressor. My shop needs that unit, It's probably the first time I've seen a gent who doesn't just collect one brand of oil and service station items but actually has several very nice collections all in one. you guys would be sorting through my junk if I brought any more "collectable" stuff home as she who rules would use my favorite shot gun on me.
Guys name was Merlin. Something makes me think he was, um, beyond middle age? Awesome collection of shtuff. Hope I live long enough to hoard that many cool goodies.
That will be a all day event, hope a HAMB member can post a full report with some photos. Wonder if all the items are in a catalog, or will they just start with item or lot one and move along untill it it all sold. Bob
I was all bark and no bite. When it came time I decided to spend the money on parts over oil cans. Don
I flew in that weekend for my sons birthday so I had to attend. I came away with a serious rear hub puller and yes the cars are going to be sold at a later date
Oh, well..... doesn't sound like I missed much. Bit of a drive for me.... so I ditched at the last minute. I need parts for 3 projects....so no oil cans for me either . I did consider going up to see if there was anything I could quick flip.
to be clear, which auction are you referring to. (what date). I checked the original link and it was for mostly tools, a few shop trucks etc... I must be missing something. The second link with better pictures does show some better stuff
They are now using that link for a different auction. It was a wild collection of automobilia and antiques. Don
It is a different auction, They don't have the results for that auction posted in their results page yet either though. I'm thinking that a few things at the top of this page were in that auction though http://www.stokesauction.com/prices.htm The rest of it looks to be from several different auctions. It looks like the air compressor that I was interested in went for 650.00 which isn't too bad for that unit.
