No Nick there wasn't much for sale. I saw maybe 10 various engines for sale some running some not. But I did network and get to know a few  knowledgeable collectors. One of them has a nice restored 1928 Hercules 1 & 3/4 hp with Hercules water pump jack- never run or shown that I am picking up tomorrow. He is wanting a street rod and is making room and raising his cash-so I win.

I will post a video as soon as I can when I get her home.

I am going to post 3 or 4 of my favorite short videos of the Southern Indiana show. (Evansville)
The Bohon was interesting. Old heads claim they were made for a large Kentucky hardware store chain back in the day and sold at Bohon hardware.
The peddal tractors were impressive in the trailer. Eye candy for kids. (us too!)
The trailer full of small Hercules is my absolute favorite because the owner is selling me one tomorrow!!

Lastly, the cast iron seat collectors were really cool. Most were for sale anywhere from $50 to $250 for most. Very few if any were ever on a tractor. Nearly all came from horse drawn equipment pre 1900. One of them had cast into it SUPREME COMFORT-yeah right.
