Railroad auction

[Sharon Eberhard]

Not sure where to post this but there is an auction sale Saturday 4/14 in Lafayette.  The sale ad indicates that everything being sold has some sort of railroad connection.  Not all Monon -- some from UP, EJE, B&O, to name a few.  150 pieces of china from 18 different lines.  Also lanterns, maps locks & keys. 

 Sale is being cried by Doug Davies.  Sale is 4/14 at Judy Painter's Catering at 9:30 am.  There is a preview tomorrow from 12 noon to 4:00 pm.
