This is one of the old-time sulkies that will sell on June 10.

The sale will be held June 10, 2012, at Gaule Auction Center, Luke Lee and David Lee Gaule Auctioneers, 5033 Gaule Road, Springfield, IL 62707-8338. Phone and fax: 217.523.7272. www.lukeleegaule.com.

The sale begins at 10:00 a.m. Sulkies, sled and buggies sell at Noon.

The sulkies are in good shape — very light, mechanically functional, and still fairly sturdy. The two-wheel bike has a hole in the seat though.

The doctor’s buggy is in really great shape. The black paint job has held up well, the seat is still padded and in almost brand new condition — mechanically sound also.

Same with the sled. Bright red, padded interior, bells on the shafts, and has a manufacturers plate on the rear.
