For starters Ted and Wayne areright about these being tough to find. I've seen a couple Henry Houses and Hygrades in my time, but I don't recall the last time I saw a Milwaukee Sausage. The only one I could find in any recent auction was the June 1997 REA auction catalog lot# 254. Of course this is ONLY accounting for REA. That lot featured Bill MacLeod VG/VG-EX along with two Henry Houses. The opening bid for that lot in '97 was $300. They're pretty tough and I'd think someone would be hard pressed to find a decent example on Ebay or anywhere else for much less than that nowadays. These are on a lot of PCL & Type collector's wantlists. Perhaps one of the board PCL experts will chime in with some info?
