[SEL] Herc. pinstriper

[Richard Strobel]

Thought you all might be interested in the description of this ebay auction. 
Very possibly could be the gentleman that passed away a few years back.  He 
pinstriped at the Herc. factory, and a few of you have met him.  He 
definetly had "The Touch."  ...best pinstriping on a Gal that I've ever 
seen!!!

Description:


You are bidding on my pride and joy! 1 ¾ HP William Galloway Co. Fan cooled 
gas engine on original cart with original bent wire pull. I bought this 5 
years ago from a gentleman that restored it and had taken it to many engine 
shows and won 1st prize. This engine is fully operational. The only flaw 
worth mentioning is that has some paint crazing around the lower housing has 
occurred. This engine was meticulously restored in the early 80's and hand 
pin striped by a man that was over 80 years old at the time. He had been pin 
striping since his youth staring out in an engine factory. I would venture 
to say that the quality and attention to detail is unequalled. I would not 
be selling this but my current financial situation warrants me to do so. 
Buyer will pay for shipping or pick up. This engine is truly a work of art 
and I have had this inside since I have owned it. As you can see from the 
pictures this is a one of a kind! I have seen lesser engines sell for over 
$3,500.00. Email or call with questions. 319-234-5678. NO RESERVE!!


Hope ya enjoy
