It says estate. Is that term for an auction relative to the living? Mind you, divorce is it's own kind of death (and rebirth ).

Looking at the pictures on the Auction web site, it looks like a lifetime of collecting. The Stuart makes me wonder how many more relatively complete, yet untouched military vehicles are sitting in garages and barns across the country. I'll be the neighbours didn't even know that there was a tank next door. Would have been fun to attend if it wasn't already on today.

Looks like Paul Allen was the early bird that got the Stuart as it were...going to be part of the Flying Heritage Collection at Paine Field..

Vehicles all sold immediately this morning. All but the command car are apparently going to Paul Allen's collection.

Tomorrow, it's 25% off sticker price on everything, 50% off on Sunday. If anyone's looking for 19 sets, there were a few down there. Looked like MK.2 sets. I didn't see a single person so much as look at them while I was there.

Sorry Rob I thought the original message went with the response, so now I find out it doesn't.

The quote below reflects wisdom and is often not known by participants until later, if at all,
