>I didn't make it. I got the flyer but couldn't afford the two day auction. The pictures looked pretty good.

Got one down south of Kansas City on Sunday. No MWTCA purchased mailing list for this one. Just ad in the paper. Auctioneer website just says lots of old tools. Have to see.

>Yes, I was able to attend that auction. It was probably the greatest collection of tools in one place that I'd had ever seen. I was only able to stay for able half of the first day-would have stayed for both days if SWMBO would have let me!

There was even more for sale than was posted by lot number. Before the actual selling of the numbered lots there must have been at least 200+ other lots of misc. stuff.

It was absolutely amazing.

Probably the most exciting action that I saw was for a original box for some stanley plane and a el-cheapo stanley transitional-the combo went for about ~$230, I figure the plane was probably worth about $20 if that. You can do the math.

Pretty much everything the guy had was in pretty good shape and I think there were some good bagins to had depending on what you were looking for.

I myself came home happy with a nice #3C, #59 w/ all the bushings and a siding gauge. Plus the 8 boards of black walnut that my FIL gave to me didn't hurt to sweeten the deal.
