I believe that this was posted on the forum in the classifieds section a few weeks back. https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/line-shaft-lathes-and-shaper-intact-old-vintage.2128/
I called Drew and had him send me some pictures as one of the lathes is a Von Wyck, which is the same manufacturer as the one I have. I wanted some pictures as I know of only 3 or 4 that have been photographed. If you do a search, all links are to one of these 3 or 4 machines. Drew sent me pictures and left me some voice mails
@CalgaryPT I'd probably catch a ride with you, I'd like to do nothing more than 'smell' the inside of that place. Would be a good day -- but alas, Covid and "the day job" put the brakes on that.
This is also listed on Kijiji.
I didn't ask prices because that would be 'buying questions' and I know how that ends up for me. As much as I'd like to have all machines ever made, one needs to draw the line!
The Von Wyck didn't have the QCGB on it, but it was gorgeous in its own right. The shaper looks to be Canadian made (based on the Kijiji photos) -- big one.

I have an uncle and aunt in Moose Jaw so I'm game for a road trip but of course I live in Edmonton so logistics are not ideal.
Moose Jaw calling, John you have a PM.
I was in that shop last year. I bought some tool boxes from an action they were having to clean it out. It was almost impossible to walk around at that time there was so much stuff everywhere. Didn’t get a chance to look around much between all the auction people and other buyers pickup there purchases. Very dirty as I recall. Took a few hours to get all the grit and grime off the tool chests once I got them emptied out. Definitely some big machines in there though.
