tbran - I watch Ebay pretty close 'cause everybody needs a hobby and mine is collecting Gleaner stuff. That operator's manual that t. leslie said sold for big $$ must have been a really rare one. I have found that Ebay is a buyer's market for old literature and manuals, not a seller's market. I have bought things on Ebay for $10 that I have seen in the past at toy shows for $60 - $70. Those old operator's manuals, even in perfect condition might bring $15 - $45 each, just guessing. The old sales literature sells for more than manuals as a rule. A few weeks ago, someone was auctioning off an old Gleaner lighted sign from approx. the late 50's_early 60's. It had a cutaway of a Gleaner on it that had strobed backlighting that made the crop appear to flow through the combine. Also had wheels that turned on the combine. That thing sold for over $200 - I would have loved to had that but my wife refused my request to hang it in our living room so I let it go. Funny how men and women differ on how to decorate!
