Well this was another busy weekend. I helped Larry Valek with an auction at his site on Cty Rd 86. He had a nice auction with good weather and lots of bidders. We sold cement equipment, farm machinery, tools, trees, and shrubbery among other things. Larry and I have both been busy this Spring and haven’t had a chance to work together for a while. It is always fun to work with Larry and his team.

We have been working on getting the Divers auction ready. As usual, once we start emptying the attic we start finding really interesting things that aren’t listed in the ads. I found a carpenter’s chest full of tools. Many of the tools appear to be unused. Disston, Stanley, etc. A drawknife that has probably never touched wood, etc. Russel Wright dishes, 1935 Babar the Elephant book, late 1940’s Disney books, Orrefors bowl, estate jewelry, handwork, graniteware, several misc Red Wing dishes;, etc. Come early on Saturday and look around.
