Default K.R. Wilson engine stands in auction!

Too rich for me but how often do you find not one but two K.R. Wilson engine stands for sale at auction. The company doing this online only auction is about two hours north of me and the auction features Model T parts and some tools but the most appealing items are the stands. https://www.infowya.com/auctions/556...ndEnabled=true

For two of them and all those adapters, the price appears pretty reasonable. It will be interesting to see what they end up selling for.

It's truly amazing to see how much old car "stuff" is tucked away in garages.

If i lived closer to WI I would bid and or buy them. I do have one, but it is missing the cast base with the casters. I made one to use but would like the real part. Would be nice to have 2 and sell one.

Wow! That is a find. And the current bid isn’t too high, imho. Plenty of adapters is a plus.

I’d say that’s a deal for the pair with the adapters.

Nice GaryU. At 51 bids, you earned that purchase! The hottest item in the auction. Second was a disassembled visible pump with 49 bids.

Gary,
I did something similar with a purchase a week ago. You did good! Because you now have it, you know what it is and it will find a good home!
Congratulations!
Regards,
Chris
