Thanks Steve , Thanks Morgan ,
Thanks Mr. Mike Fatka , in Ames Iowa ,
I've been staying away from eBay for awhile now . Totally cut myself
off , to try to get the eBay addiction under some kind of control . And
,
I've never done any business with Mr. M. J. Fatka . But ,
I noticed his auctions . I always noticed ; the Ames Iowa location ,
his style for detailed honest descriptions , and the extremely interesting
nature of his items !
I could definitely tell that he had an extremely impressive collection
of historically significant parts , clothing , and ephemera of all kinds .
I'm glad to know that he is Michael , of Michael's Cyclery . I
remember reading something about that place .
Just did a Google search . I see that there is a Michael's Cyclery in
Madison Wisconsin as well .
Anyway , it was extremely obvious that Mr. M. J. Fatka was liquidating
an extremely wonderful collection . I wonder if he is nearing the end of
his stuff ?
