VanDerBrink Auctions is pleased to bring you these 2 amazing collections. Les Snavely and Lynn Brackel went to high school together and started a life-long friendship and shared the joys of “Thrill of the hunt” and collecting. After High School, Les went to the service and then to Dickenson State where he met up with his old friend, Lynn. They started their friendship and collecting right where they left off from High School. Les was more of the eccentric and started collecting antique motorcycles, railroad, and memorabilia. Lynn was the more a practical collector and hunted down those antique tractors and stationary gas engines. They both got married and their families enjoyed spending time together and there was always a motorcycle or tractor in the mix. Over 35 years of friendship and years of collecting. Now Les and Lynn have passed and their families have decided to sell their collections. The collections will be sold LIVE at the Bowman County Fairgrounds with online bidding. You won’t want to miss this auction and the opportunity to bid and buy on these early American motorcycles, parts, Antique Tractors and More! Plan now to attend this auction.
