COLLECTIBLES & FUN: There are antiques & collectibles spread  throughout the sale among all categories of sale items including tools, furniture, household, farm etc. One that catches my attention most is the double handled Barn Beam auger. I tore down 3 post Civil War barns (for the materials)when I lived in Western New York. The hand hewn beams were fastened with wood pegs driven in holes drilled by these 1870's era tools. They were as tight as the day they were put togrther. There are other old tools as well in this sale (see Gallery). We have a 1998 "collector's edition HO train set "Foodland Express" that is still in the original box. There is a quite large Steam Engine and Freight cars with track "Bachman's Big Hauler".

There are some collectible coins, A few Morgan Dollars, Buffalo & V nickles, and some later dimes & many wheat pennies 1940's & 50's. The most collectibles may be among the foreign coins according to our researcher. Most will be sold in lots or bags. 

TRACTOR AND MOTORCYCLE: Both of these items were in the process of being restored when seller passed away. The tractor is an Allis Chalmer 's CA model (circa 1950).

It also has what looks like the "Pick-up Plow with discs pictured in one manual that will be sold with it. The Motorcycle is a "Suzuki GS-550". We have not tried to put these items in running condition for rear of doing more harm than good. They both look like nice machines and the buyer can decide the degree of restoration.
