We had my uncle's estate auction this past Saturday.  He was a partner with my Dad in Funk Bros. Implement Co., an AC dealer in the late '60s through the '70's.  

A single front suitcase weight for a 200/Two-Ten/Two-Twenty (#255861) sold for $6.  Going rate around here has been around $150.

There was also a NOS 1968 Allis-Chalmers calendar that sold for $8.  

But the real shocker was a new-in-box AC rain gauge with an AC emblem and the Funk Brothers name on it brought $150.  Go figure...

Yeah that was way cheap on the weights,,, online auctions is the thing now,,  things go for alot more than what I value them ,, times are a changing, Allis Chalmers guys are slowly dying off,, I bought some 120 lb interlocking wheel weights at an auction @ 20 bucks a weight, seem like they glad to move them for that

I'd say the rain gauge went high because everybody and their brother wants a "farmhouse". That would make an excellent decoration
