Due to the death of my wife, Brenda Kieft, I have decided on a major downsizing of my personal toy collection, tractors, equipment, guns, gas pumps and miscellaneous antiques, collectibles, and farm primitives. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your time, consideration, and support.
Very best regards, George Kieft
NOTE: The farm has been in the family for over 100 years. George enjoyed collecting and restoring gas pumps and anything Petrolina. He also had a passion for collecting antique toys of every description which is evident in the Auction listing. The little Farmall BN is a “Parade Special” ready for the shows and parades this summer. The Super MTA is a workhorse with brand new rubber, both run just fine. The Case backhoe along with the tools, farm equipment, golf cart and large assortment of collectibles and farm primitives make this an Auction well worth your attention. PLUS 7 beautifully restored gas pumps ready for your man-cave or vintage filling station set -up. Make plans to be just West of Hesperia on Thursday April 18th at NOON for the start of this nice country Auction.
