Sadly you can see that he was emphatic that his collection be sold to a single buyer and kept intact, but there's just no way that could happen. I recognized several of the machines I saw in the photos that we cleared out from the storage unit, but someone who was supposed to be helping Frank's sister (elderly and lives out of state) move out some specific machines she did want to keep, has thus far kept about 30 machines, out of the civil war era and hand crank machines. After some correspondence between parties and threats to turn over the security footage to authorities, we are hopeful that they will be returned to this lady shortly who will get them to his sister. The whole situation just stinks but I think when its all said and done, he would be happy to see that these machines are getting homes with people who will love them as much as he did.
