[SEL] Hillbilly Flywheeler's show / now Milton Auction

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Luke,
    If you were hoping for a nice hunk of iron, I don't think you'll 
find it at this particular auction.  I thought I had some rusty stuff, 
but the iron at this junk even makes the little gearless olds engine I 
got off you look like a "nice original".  So, that should give you a 
hint as to the condition of most of it.  Send me some photos of the 
Peerless and the progress you make on it.

Tommy
