...for the inaccuracies in my post!
As Ron explained, this would not qualify as an "Urban Legend" if the owner is aware of its value...and in this case he does.
Also... I stated that it was stored in a barn for 30+ years...
I was wrong again...It was stored in a garage!
My apologies to any farmers that consequently may have been offended by any of the above remarks.
Never the less...it's both a great find (my first!
) and a great story!
I don't know if it was a "lost" one or perhaps it's already in the registry. I'll let someone else confirm that.
