Does anyone remember the details of farm auctions in the 1940s about the end of WW 2 time frame. I was thinking of a McCormick Deering W-30 that my Dad bought at an auction in 1945 or 1946. I remember him saying he had to put his name in a drawing to get the tractor. It had something to do with the war rationing that was still in effect.
Strange the things that pop into my head, LOL. It would be an interesting piece of history to know the details of what this was about. I also recall how happy Dad was to get his name drawn because this was the first tractor he owned with rubber tires.
Put on your thinking caps and fill in some history. Thanks.
