[AT] Case thresher elevator chain

[George Willer]

Larry,

That's an interesting separator to use at that show.  There were two
separators in our immediate area... both Keck-Gonnermans.  I don't know what
happened to the one that did our threshing, but I saw the other sell at
auction just a few years ago.  It looked like it had never been outdoors.
Even the mural painted on the side looked perfect.  The owner, Clarence
Burmeister, died last week at age 94.
