I am not sure if you knew Jim Grant of Eaton, CO but he recently passed away. Jim attended and vended at Iowa and Columbus for several years. He beat cancer the first time but on the second go around he passed away. I spoke to his wife yesterday and conveyed condolences on behalf of the Gas and Oil collectors.
His wife will be auctioning off his collection. Jim was into pumps mainly. Here is a link to the photos of his items:
