I was just about to order a custom stock in fancy wood, when he shut it down. Just boom. dunno if he wanted the land, or building, or what. Didn't even have an clearance sale on the inventory.
There was a sale of the entire inventory... an auction that went into the night. Thousands of stocks and blanks sold for pennies on the dollar.
The original Reinhart Fajen shop was located in downtown Warsaw (you could walk in and sort through the stocks to find one you liked... there were many local people doing stock work in those days). Midway built a factory between Lincoln and Warsaw for the stock business and even built an airport which is now the Lincoln/Warsaw airport. There is some other business in the building now.
If a person could have been at the auction with a LARGE truck and say a hundred thousand $$$ and had a place to store them, they could have made a lot of money selling stocks... in the long wood room I saw blanks marked five and six hundred dollars selling for as little as $35 to $40.
