On October 4, 1986 an auction was held by Freeman R. Miller at
Topeka, Indiana, of a large collection of machinery,
collectors’ items, odds and ends, etc. Included were a number
of engines that Freeman had collected over the years. The engines
were in the same condition as when Freeman got them as he never
exhibited them, just picked them up here and there and put them in
his storage shed. Here is a list of prices compiled by Erv Troyer
