From what we heard, the last time we were down there 4-5 yrs ago, is that Elmer had made some gentleman's agreement to sell EVERYTHING to someone in Germany, as that was what he wanted. To sell it all in one piece. By the time he passed, that had fallen apart and they only wanted select items and some of the more choice items did leave after his death. I get the feeling this went to auction as a result of that and there may be big foreign money involved with some of the crazy prices...
