Real listers at auction

[flywheel]

There is a large estate auction here in Illinois next weekend.  Listed are some real Listers and many others, a lifetime of collecting going on the auction block.

Should anyone care to read the sale bill and view the many photos go to www.auctionzip.com, enter auctioneer ID# 14498 at the top right, click on Helmuth estate to view photos and sale bill.

I'm not going, it would be very expensive for me if I did go.

He who dies with the most toys wins ...........   this guy was a winner

WOW!

Am I glad I don't live near this auction.  I'm a recovering auction junkie and latent hoarder.  My blood pressure is already up and the auctioneer hasn't even cleared the mic.  I wonder how much guilt this guy carried with him for letting all this machinery go to Satan's doorstep?

I wonder what those engines were that look like the grandparents to my horizontal Witte?

Good Luck to my Illinois brothers and sisters and be careful out there.

I am not totaly aware of who is who when talking about those who post both here and on "that other" forum but there is going to be quite a few engine heads there. If any of you go you will know be by my blue ball cap with "CRC" in a circle in white. I am taking enough money to buy the one I want, if someone else goes higher,, they paid too much, LOL

It's times like this that my bank manager is really pleased that I live thousands of miles away from America....

...and I curse the fact.

I'd love that CS twin....

I'm 2 hours south of there... If I would have known earlier I could have planned to go... We could have had a small microcogen meet... plus I have the same disease that Ron has, lol 

[Shipo]

Wow this is an  collection of iron....I wondered the history behind of this farmer " collector"...Good luck Flywheel and to all that going but they they are silent!!!!.... if is possible lets us know the outcome.

Shipo it is my understanding that he was a dealer for Lister and the engines are all trade ins. Most are supposably VERY used, have you ever been around anything Amish have used?  LOL.
