[SEL] 1887 Crossley-Otto Slide Valve Piano Base 2 hp

[Best, George]

Arnie,

I'm sure it will go north of $150k.
What I wonder, is if it will be staying in this country.
If it does leave the country, I hope it is shown at Nuenen next year.

It should be top dollar engine for the auction.

Will also be interesting to see what the big Mogul tractor goes for. 
I could also be in the same price area as the piano base Crossley.

George

Ps. It's not a 1988 engine as indicated in the subject line ;-)

Hi Folks,

Got an interesting auction catalog in the mail from Aumann Auctions.

It's for the Lake Side Farms Tractor & Engine Collection.

The catalog is here...

There are a lot of really neat engines and tractors in the auction, but the Crossley-Otto Slide Valve really caught my eye.

Anyone want to speculate on what it might sell for?
I'm guessing well north of $100K.

Tommy, do you plan to attend this auction?  8-))

See ya,  Arnie
