•   Yep.  More than the last Cretors brought.  I suppose it
  was worth that much to somebody with a fat wallet.  Maybe
  it was a wealthy Sipp relative determined to own a piece
  of their family history.

• I had that one on my radar too .... just to see what it would do. It did far better than I expected, though I knew it would go pretty high, what with that wonderful governor and the really nice (but a bit oversized) oilers.
  
  
  Sipp's are truly fine engines ..... but not quite that fine as far as my wallet is concerned!!!

• This auction was held in Shipshewana (LaGrange County) Indiana which is a large center of Amish. I’m curious to know if the Sipp engine was bought locally.

• I was watching because I really wanted the 1” Case which sold for quite a reasonable price.

• I was bidding for the SIPP - but with transportation cost to Switzerland in mind
  I stopped long before 5000 $ - nice but rather expensive.
  Congrats to the winner - a real beautiful pice for a top collection
  I also was watching the Cretors - so nice.

• Well shoot ,I have (2) 1/2 Hp Sipps in better and more original shape than that one that I would let someone set a higher record on if they wanted to.😊
