It's not far from our house and I plan to attend the preview and maybe do some bidding. If anyone sees something you want to bid on or have me bid for you, PM me and we should be able to work something out and I can pick it up and get it to you latter. Sorry, the bigger machines I don't want to mess with but, we can talk about it. GDad for books and Jerry for tools come to mind as buyers. Wife and I will be at Townsend for the Southern Stovebolt Jamboree in late May and at the KC Stovebolt Roundup in September. We can bring items to both events. https://www.atterberryauction.com/auction/personal-property-02032025-79399/detailsCheck It Out! Don

I was expecting more detailed pics of hand tools, etc.
Maybe if you see any VLCHEK or Mckaig-Hatch branded tools I might be interested in a few of them. Like stuff that would be in a Chevy Truck tool kit.

Don I have known the owner for years - he was "the guy" to go to for engine work and old engine rebuild. He was a member of the Model A club in the area and is a very nice person. He and one other guy who did mostly driveshaft rebuild / repair were the main machine shop people in Columbia for years.
Life is good on Windy Ridge!

I picked up a pedestal grinder with the pedestal made from a crankshaft and flywheel.
The auction company hired in a heavy equipment moving company to load everything up for the buyers.
He also did some engine work for Shakey61 years ago.

Nothing there I NEEDED, but several items I would probably have convinced myself that I could use.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
