Above far left, left to right, Sunday November 16 11:40 AM that is new Cletrac 20 owner age 63 Museum Member Ken Humphreys from nearby Bonsall. A week ago today Ken won this Classic Cletrac 20 at our Auction for $2,000. Ken brought along his buddie age 63 Harold Schrock from Vista to help. Above left 11:43 AM that is New Live On Attendant Virgil White, who will be age 65 January 15, 2009 far left. Virgil brought "Ole Gray" over to help load by pushing. Above far right, left to right, 11:46 AM Virgil and Harold and me watch Ken do all the work.

Above left and right, Virgil and I had not noticed, Harold mentioned that he has seen baling wire used but not twine. Above far right 11:53 AM Harold steers the tractor to the center of the trailer.

Above far left 11:54 AM Virgil pushes while Ken stands off to the side with his electric winch remote control. Above far right 12:15 PM completely loaded and chained down for the trip to Bonsall. Ken Humphreys mentioned that he has a few more Cletracs at home but none as old as this one.

Above a Prescott Arizona company, that has consigned items to our auction in the past, brought these three steam engines. David Denny believes these two are Fricks, but there is no information on the engines themselves, both sold for $225 each. Below is serial number 9342 made by Frost Mfg Co in Galesburg, Illinois. None of our people have ever seen a Frost and there is no additional info on the engine. This evening I put up a post on smokstak.com/forum including these four pictures asking for additional information. Some of our steam guys banded together today with David Denny doing the bidding and we won this engine for our Museum for $450.
Above far left and left a pair of Guiberson rotary diesels, the pair sold for $750. Above right and far right and below a disassembled 1910-11 Reo model R on four pallets. Pat Mackin said the fenders are reproductions. Below right that is Rich Eckert from Prescott Arizona holding one of the dash lamps. There was documentation with it including pictures of what it looked like when new. It sold for $3,750.
Above far left 1-1/2 HP IH-LA $90. Above left outboard motor $20. Above right another 1-1/2 HP IH-LA $85. Above far right Cushman Cub $110. Below far left Cushman Binder $250.

Today Julius skipped the reserve and it sold for $11,500. Above far right another 1-1/2 HP IH-LA $90.
