A follow up.  The catalog for the Friesen collection sale on the Kliewer Auction web site is 14 pgs.
I've taken  all the related photos and compiled them into a single 39 page pdf.   I'll be glad to forward the pdf  to anyone who sends me an e-mail request.
Regards, Stan Schulz

Stan forwarded me the catalog. A lot of nice stuff in the sale, farm wrenches as well as many other types of wrenches, tools, oil can etc... Well worth the look. A lot of rare stuff as well as common stuff, could be some bargains in there.

Another follow up -- it turns out that my "big box retail" employer wants all hands available "black Friday weekend" so I'll most likely miss the sale myself.
Larry Senff is another local MVWC member & has agreed to take absentee bids -- I'll help him out as much as I can.  He farms & is outside most daylight hours.  His e-mail address is lsenff at stewireless.com    His home phone is (402) 732-6812 and snail mail: Larry Senff // 1920 Road K // York, NE 68467-8079.
He helped with the implement wrench & oil can portions of the Friesen collection catalog.

Pound them in with one side and pull them out with the other side. ;) The second claw is used on longer nails so you don't have to use a block under the hammer to pull them all the way out.

Aurora is about 3 hours from me.   Real tempting, but kinda afraid to go to something like that.  I mean I get dizzy looking at all the one of a kind items.   Then get home with some fantastic stuff and go: Where am I gonna put it?

OK, I can see that!  Thank you...
