Yeah, I wish I would have bought 2 of them also.
I do have 2 of the "An Industrial Heritage" Allis-Chalmers Corporation by Peterson / Milwaukee County Historical Society, if anyone would like one, PM me.

I bought this book a ways back and evidently loaned it to a friend - he returned it about 2 years later - I had forgotten all about it . Now as a hard copy with the same picture as this one - and for I think $29.00 then it looks like value went up some .

guess one should have invested in books as the value exceeds inflation
