Ward's Auction

[JasonPeck]

Did anyone find something they needed at the Ward's Auction last night?

I bought a few neat items. And now I wait for the painful shipping costs.

Wow!! Santa Cruz, Calif.!! I was there a couple of hours ago. Weary road warriors should not show up in Monterey or Santa Cruz on Saturday night without a reservation!! Gone to ground in Los Gatos.

[JasonPeck]

My last trip to Santa Cruz was the same day as the Nude Bike Ride through town. Not quite the view I had come to see.

Jason, Californians love the sun and biking.

That is a spectacular box Jason. I liked the Peoria Hardware box but it went over my allowance.

Just to be clear this box sold for $8,050 and is out of my price range too.

Because of our travels, I didn't play in the recent Ward's Auction. Just looking through the auction today and some truly interesting stuff. These caught my eye --

Dave never saw the 2 7/8" and 3" Arrow Remy boxes---dam they sold cheap. Craig

[Fowlgunner]

Normally I look closer but didn't pick up the Arrow box either.

I was too spell struck by the Pre-Rem UMC Arrow in #1 shot and was one shell away from owning it! Lol

Thanks All!

Well I will admit as a Canadian I couldn't let this one go.

In all my years at gunshows I have never seen this Dominion Sovereign box.

[Researcher]

That would look good next to my Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, Tobin No. 70E Trap Grade --

[JasonPeck]

Anyone come away with any goodies last night?

[eightbore]

All those guns and no one came up with one?

No guns, but picked up enough shell boxes to keep me happy.

[TOOL MAN]

I don't know what came over me but I was captivated by that damn, Dupont powder poster. Was up till 3 am bidding. God, I hate that "no end until all bidding stops" S.O.P.!!
