I went to a storage auction the other day (a friend of mine owns the storage facility) and got an awesome deal! I bought one 10×10 storage unit. The main items are- A 5550 watt Briggs and Stratton generator (brand new, never had gas in the tank, paperwork still attached) A "Lincoln" AC-225-S welder An almost new Troy Bilt "Bronco" rear tine roto tiller (2 1/2' wide maybe, looks like it was used one season) An almost new Briggs and Stratton self propelled push mower (looks like it was only used one season) A 9 drawer stackable "Homak" tool box with tools 1 violin, 1 eucalaylee(sp), 1 banjo, 2 electric guitars, 4 acoustic guitars And these-

Third pic down says- New England Westinghouse Company 1915. Is that the year this particular gun was made? Am I right, is this a Mosin-Nagant?

The last pic has the date- 1937 and "made in USSR". Is that the date this gun was made? Any idea what this gun is? Come on GreenCountyPete, I could use your help!

Can you tell us what you paid for that stuff? Sorry for being nosey, but without a paid for price hard to tell if a deal or not.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

The "selling price" was $1,500.00. BUT- there was also a Ruger 10/22 which I sold for $100.00, a pipe bender and a few other tools that I sold for $200.00. That $300.00 went in my pocket. The storage unit didn't cost me anything out of pocket, I am going to paint the interior of a 700 sq ft rental house as payment. He is buying the materials! The work will take me about 4 days. He's happy, I'm VERY happy!

Thanks Catch22! My first thought was it was a Mosin too, but the barrel not being shrouded or covered had me second guessing.

Anyone collect "Hot Wheels" cars? There was about 500 of them in there too. Many still in the packaging....
