[GreenKeys] Auction Western Union Items in OH January 4

[John Spigel]

The auction is over. The nice WU teletype stock printer with its 
matching pedestal/stand went for $25. Much of the other items went for 
between $5 and $50. There were many nice bargain lots for collectors. 
Most notably was the vintage morse tape printer that went for $3000. 
Hope it goes to a museum for all to enjoy.

In another auction I saw a complete 14 reperf with KB on a stand go for 
$5. Still had the tape on it.

Some good stuff is out there.
