I typed up most of these item descriptions from memory, so forgive me if I have incorrectly identified something or left something you consider important out. If you have questions, you can either e-mail me at silasfsmith@earthlink.net, or call me at 219-374-4604.
All prices are asking prices, but everything must go, so if you don't like the price then make an offer.
Most of the images are small to keep the loading time down, but a few of the pictures are clickable to enlarge, and those are marked. If you need a more detailed picture of something, just send me an e-mail indicating which item and I will send you a larger picture of it.
Thanks for looking.
