Market commentary

Little known fact: George Waterman and Kirk Gibson kept their pioneering car car collection in the Metz factory in the suburbs of Boston. That probably contributed nothing to the exceptiol price realized by this Marsh Metz motorcycle, but the interactions between motorcycle and automobile kept coming up in the histories of the Chandler vehicles.
