Scrap is high right now; sadly probably lots of treasures will get
melted down.  Right now scrap "prepared tin" is 5 bux a hundred (I
hauled a number of loads coupla years ago for 1.50/hundred) & I
understand copper is up to over 3 bux a pound!

Will,  There is a guy in Md that makes his living with Allis Chalmers
stuff. 
He'd probably take stuff off your hands at better than scrap prices.
His 
name is Paul Barnsley.  Last I knew his e-mail was
OrangeWizard at webtv.com
