The ULTIMATE CASE COLLECTABLE

Post by PA Knives »

Gang,

I am looking for those of you that would like to own the Ultimate CASE collectable. :wink: Check out this link.

http://www.harmonhomes.com/detail.php?14080560

This is the site of the orginal CASE Brothes plant in Little Valley NY. I would love to own this rascal and have it turned into an historical site. I would also love to have the chance to snoop through the place and grounds and discover all the hidden goodies.
i guess I can dream, unless someone wants to share the cost with me.

Hey you never know

I'm staggered at how little that place is going for. I live in So Cal, and you forget that there are any houses for less than $500,000. TWO ACRES!!!

That price makes me wonder what is wrong with it.

A place like that would sell at least $200,000 at auction around here, by just looking at the picture, brick, land & creek description. Not to mention the history.


Could it be a Counterfeit house or worst....... Haunted? ::paranoid::

Pa;
If you really want to do it. It will take a few bucks up front. A real estate attorney could draw a quick plan for a hundred shares at 1500 per. That should cover acquisition and renovation. You already have a person on here committing to 20 shares, I will take a couple. A museum sounds like the best Tax consequence. Let us know. I believe it has a barrel of merit.

Edit
Late thought: It could be a 1000 shares at a couple hundred, probably interest more people with entry price being lower.

Folks,

It appears that we missed out on this one. But I want all to know that the Cat plant that is located in the same town of Little Valley will actually have the chance to relive its past. Neat place in itself. I spoke at length with Brad Lockwood of the "Case Dynasty" book and it appears that the Cutlery Museum that is now in Little Valley is trying to obtan the plant and move to it. PLease visit their web site to learn more about it. I recommend that if possible consider a small donation help this worthy cause. The Old Case plant could be next for them. Who knows. Guess we should have bougt it ourselves.

I gotta find that link first though. Sorry. If someone gets it before me, please post.
