Usually only come here to ask your advice. Just had to post this though. My husband and I went to an auction yesterday 10.29.11 in SE MN. There was a Little Giant Tractor, Model B2206 on the sale bill! This is said to be #5 of 5 known to exist in the US (see attached photo - I erased the new owner, didn't think he'd appreciate his mug on the internet)...it was previously thought that there were only 4 of these ol' beasts. Did not hear them state the year it was made by the Mayor Brothers in Mankato, MN. It has a brass radiator. TOUCHED IT, TOOK PICS and we watched it sell-- with even an online bidder from Belgium. Was bought by a guy from Iowa I believe. IT BROUGHT $32,000 !!!! The crowd just cheered heartily. I think the opening bid was 20K and it shot up to 30K in a heartbeat. Amazing sale! Also watched an old Harley Davidson Motorcycle (thought to be a 1929) sell for $14,000 at the same auction...that was bought by a woman - ticked off a lot of guys who had to drop out of bidding after about 9K. Best, most fun, most exciting auction EVER! And I mean EVER! It rocked!
