Patdbossct Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Went up yesterday to see what was there. They did a good job clearing up the place up and moving stuff around that was hidden (according to them) in the woods and overgrown brush. Definitely some interesting stuff. Luckily i'm only 45 mins away from auction, which will make hauling stuff home easier lol I'll be wearing a black collared shirt with an American Industries insignia on it, be nice to finally put some faces with some BMT members' names.

j hancock Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 There will be a bunch of people keeping notes.A number of pieces are restorable. Unfortunately, there are a few that should have been put under cover a few years ago. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Superdog Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I saw some trucks were passed on,does that hopefully mean no scrappers bought anything? Those B81's went dirt cheap,even if they were rough.

j hancock Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Some may have gone to scrap. Don't know for sure.The price of scrap is pretty low so after dealing with loading, trucking and dealing with old tires, etc., there isn't going to be much made. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

BRIORA Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I attended the auction and I am not that into mack trucks but I live locally and was interested in some garage items but it was so sad to see that the majority of the trucks sold for 600-1500 bucks. Some were passed on and could not even get 500. Very few went for good money.I idid pick up a lot of contants from the garage and I have quite a bit, but the most interesting are some badge, insignias. Could someone share some insight on value or rarity? I have seen some of these fetch good money at this auction, but they were no where near as nice as these.. I found them between some books.

Red Horse Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Anyone notice what the hydraulic jacks went for? I think there were at least two groups of them. given the fact you can't buy a jack today that isn't made in China I was thinking there might be some good ol' USA jacks in that collection-either working or worth rebuilding.

So, 8 bottle jacks sold for $125. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Pricing can range because of condition and how badly someone needs one.I see you have them on ebay so that will give you an idea of pricing when you get some bids.

ekennedy21 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 BRIORA- They are nice pieces, But to me they only appeal to someone looking to complete a barn fresh/ older restoration 1920-1938 Ab or Ac or someone looking for something to hang on the wall. To me it would be next to impossible to bring them back to new condition for a completely restored truck. They are semi rare, but not unobtainable. The thing that hurts the value is the fact that Gary Mahan has had reproductions made up of all the old tags that are in new condition.
