So, you go out looking for a "find", and ask about it, if it is for sale: Several standard answers: 1. No! 2. It belonged to my Daddy, Grand=daddy, Uncle, Aunt, girl friend , Preacher, all of those excuses and more! Ain't goin to sell it-wouldn't be right--keeping it in their memory, on and on, ad infinitum. 3. I'm going to restore it! Ain't for sale. going to start on it in the Spring, Fall, Winter, Summer, when i retire, when the old woman dies, when i get the money, when the moon is right, when i retire, on & on, ad infinitum. Those folks will probably die before anything gets done on those old machines, and their kids will sell it to the junk man, without a qualm! One time, many years ago, i met an old farmer who had a Model T Touring car. It still ran, but needed some paint and TLC. It was kept in a barn, not outside. I made him a good offer on it, but he stone-walled me at every turn, with the usual excuses. Several months later, i went to pay him a visit. UH-OH!! He had died, his daughter sold the place, the man who bought it had a bull dozer come in and flatten everything, including the old car, then they dug a very large hole and pitched everything into it, lit it up, and then buried the remains under 30 feet of fill! And there, is a museum of a lot of very old collectible stuff, buried in that new developement! Over the years, i have managed to buy a few items, but mostly got the stone-wall answers!
