"Randy ... will sell the following personal collection of cast iron items at the Indiana National Guard Armory, 2020 19th Street, Bedford, Indiana,"

I believe this is the remaining text that was not printed on the website:

Sealed bids will be accepted at the same time for the repairs to his concrete garage floor, which gave way with the addition of the Wagner 10 1/2"x3 5/6" Alum. Lard Spade. Though relatively light weight, the addition of the lard spade to this extensive collection caused a chain reaction of extensive damage not unlike that of a sink hole.

Any pieces that are left unsold will be added to the weapons depot at the Armory. Thanks for your interest.

I cheated. I used control+F (find). I thought I saw one when I looked at the list the first time so I had to go back and look. That is on crap load of iron...

Well, there weren't any steals to be had at the auction. Did manage to score a Griswald dump pan for my morning muffins. There where several serious collectors there and they all wanted the nicer pieces. The only waypack that sold while I was there was a #5 with no indian head. Brought close to $300.00 :?
