Dave 's little finished Galloway engin with
John F., he made the front page of the local newspaper, sitting in the
background.
You decide which one of these........ THINGS....... is
called a Stover Junior and is a four horse power size.
This little coffee table engin was setting outside
and was a real beauty, Hi Bob and Sheilla.
Here you see another shot of a Gilson as we seen
three of them at the show. Below is the third one we pictured.
Arnie brought in his fine running Lorenz and we
watched and listened to it run till the wee hours of the morn one night,
around some of Arnie's snooring.
Here is probably the only load of junk engins to
come into the show this year. It was rumored that they would run but that
was unseen. The front is a 5hp Jacobson and the back is a Delco
light plant, also on this load was a little Striggs and Bratton. Gwen
is reading her book as Paul and Lou rest and relax to cool down a little
before seeing more of the show.
Steve's hour glass styled Challenge ran tank after
tank of fuel with no trouble, in the background are Dave and Arnie trying
to cool off.
Two of these Scott & Ewing engins made
the show this year, with this one belonging to Mark S.
Domestic engins where the feature engin
this year and many of them showed up. We got to see 12 stove pipe models
and everyone of them ran well along with many other fine examples from
this company.
Here you see that it is a family show and that all types
and kinds of engins where well represented.
As like many other shows Findlay does try and get
an engin count, and like most shows the count is way off. Here you
see a Stickney and another stove pipe. Findlay might be the
best show of people as everyone knows everyone else. John R. is setting
here talking to the owners of these engins.
Here you see a nice Richmond Standard, do you see
these at every show?
This picture does not do justice to this exhibit as Rick
M. has put together a fine display here.
The owner of this tractor painted it this color as his
father bought it new and claimed it was painted this color. Here is another
shot of the engin in this tractor.
It is not very often that tractors are included in my pictures, but this Cub is my father's and he just finished in time to make it to the show. Findlay had 600 tractors on display and featured Garden tractors this year and had over 730 of them registered. Only 400 engins got registered but my guess would be closer to the 600 range, along with 9 steam engins.
