Hello,
In 1944, My Grandfather, “Bud” as part of the 305th Bombardment group, nicknamed “Can Do” was a 2nd Lt. and 1st Pilot of a B-17G. On 5 Dec, 1944, He was shot down and successfully crash landed saving his crew. They were captured by German forces and spent the rest of the war as a POW's. After returning home he used the newly formed GI Bill to start the Bolivar Magneto Co., With which he and my now almost 101 Y/O Grandmother, raised a family of 5 and became a staples of the community. Starting out as a magneto repair shop, They evolved, selling and servicing outdoor power equipment. Now, 24 years after closing, the "Shop" is like a time capsule, lots of vintage stock, antiques and tools, I am selling off old stock and select items as a part of a project to bring the Magneto back to life! My Grandfather was also a true philanthropist, so if the price is a bit high, email me at magnetovintageparts@gmail about your project and I'll adjust the price accordingly! Thank You! -MVP
