Auctioneer’s Note: Ambrose, also known as The Wagon Master, was truly a picker. This was his life for 60+ years. He traveled the countryside buying signs, tools, buggies, wagons and primitives. He is 93 years old. He has a warehouse full. We estimate at least 3 – 2 day auctions to disperse this collection. There is no way to get an accurate list. The building is full. See you at the sale. David, Dusty & Bill
