[AT] antique implement prices

[Spencer Yost]

I am glad you found good homes for your collectibles. Seeing the old stuff go it's sort of like watching your kids go off to college : you hate to see them go but you're a little glad to see them go :-).  I know you'll appreciate the shed space.

Best of luck with these other items.
