Jay... 3492 was high on my list at that auction. I thought it was a good example of a lifter with a retrofitted W.F.Parker patent bolt and bite modification (TPS pg96). I also thought it was worth more than high estimate, so I threw in an overbid. The absentee bidder was more aggressive, so I ducked! Wish I knew then what I know now! I did however bring home a pretty descent VH12 on a 1-1/2 frame.
I have attended nearly every Amoskeag auction held this century, and found them very honest and professional in my dealings, buying and selling.
