It's always a good day when you can pick-up a Jensen #50.  Rivet boiler too!

The engine was auctioned off from a hay rack. As you can see, not everyone appreciates a 50, this fresh cigarette was jammed under the engine (among the mouse poop)

Holy Smokes Nick ..... don't bother buying any Lottery tickets ..... You've already won .... BIG TIME!!!

That Fifty looks to be in far better condition than is often found in barns, and the Big Sipp also looks to be in really good shape. The Vertical Oscillator looks practically new for cryin' out loud!

According to this thread's title header, it would seem that you have done this well or possibly even better at auctions before!?!?

What could those auction have possibly yielded to match or beat this unbelievable haul???

Congratulations Nick! And that very rare Cretors oscillator a real treat. The former owner had a great taste.
