Summary

The Beaver Island Chamber of Commerce announced that a restored former Beaver Island Fire Engine No. 2 would be offered at a Plainwell estate auction on September 29, 2012. A follow-up forum post reported that the truck sold for $15,500.

Evidence limits

The forum establishes the auction notice and a participant’s reported sale price. It does not identify the buyer, establish the vehicle’s complete chain of custody, or document its current location.

Sources

  1. Chamber notices identify a restored Beaver Island fire engine No. 2 in the Thomas and Joyce Jackson estate auction and provide the September 29 sale date; a September 30 participant post reports a $15,500 sale. The thread does not identify the buyer, ownership history, vehicle serial number, or present location, so those facts are not inferred.
