1922 and the Shipshewana Auction began to attract.


Bidders arrived early to preview auctions offerings.
















Bidding numbers can be attained in the office.

The game begins every Wednesday at 9:00am


























Some are 1st time attendees .


























                                  Others are "regulars"

                                                                                                         

      "cat"                                 "uncle"

It's the place the plunder is at!





















The deed is measured by time.



























Auction culture is an art characterized
 by chaos.


















Up to 10 auctioneers selling simultaneously!
