I like the old stuff, but after looking at the same models for 20 years, now-a-days I enjoy the newer 60's, 70's and 80's stuff more. The pre-1920's tractors are the most varied and interesting, but they are also the most rare and expensive. It's hard to say there is a shortage of 1930's and 40's fence row tractors when they rarely sell for more than two times their scrap metal value.
Demand for those 1930's tractors will probably continue to fall faster than the supply will. As the current collectors of pre-WW2 tractors ages, there will be an increasing supply of those tractors coming up for sale over the next 20 years. Many of those collected tractors are already restored or they are nearly complete in good restorable condition. It is hard for most people to justify spending $5,000 to $10,000+ to restore a fence row tractor in bad condition when complete easily restorable tractors are readily available that can be restored for less than 1/2 the total cost compared to restoring a fence row tractor. Some of those fence row tractors are so far gone they don't even make good yard art, to me it's OK to let those go.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
