WWII tanks, parts,
airplanes auctioned
United Press International
ROCKDALE — For anyone
who has ever dreamed of rumb
ling through the rush hour in a
M-39 Buick armored utility
vehicle, or who maybejust needs
parts for his tank — both will be
among the collection of World
War II items being auctioned
Oct. 15 at the Coffield Airport
Facility.
The memorabilia is part of
the estate of H.H. “Pete” Cof-
field — a rancher, oil and gas
man, lumber dealer and ware-
houser who got his start in busi
ness buying and selling surplus.
Coffield died in 1979.
Irv Rosen, whose company
will handle the auction, said Cof-
field collected the planes, tanks
and parts over a number of
years.
“He really wasn’t a collector
in the sense of saving antiques.
He got into it as a business and
when his business interests
spread, the surplus became
more of a hobby,” said Rosen,
who knew Coffield through the
frequent auctions they
attended.
Included in the items to be
auctioned are three B-25 bom
bers, a C-53 cargo plane, an M-
16 half-track vehicle with gun
turret and numerous World
War II trucks, tank engines and
aircraft parts.
The auction will also feature a

C-45 Twin Beechcraft airplane.
“The vehicles and planes are
in no way in vintage condition.
Two of the bombers are com
plete and could be restored, the
third could be used only for
parts,” Rosen said.
But for the person interested
in that sort of equipment, and
Rosen said he had received a
number of inquiries already, the
auction may be an opportunity
for a collector to stock rare parts
no longer manufactured.
“A fellow called from Florida
interested in B-29 parts. He said
he hopes to get one he has flying
again. We’ve got a bunch of B-29
parts and I’m sure he’ll buy up
all he can,” Rosen said.
Rosen said he was primarily
an industrial auctioneer and
normally auctions off machin
ery and equipment from plant
closings.
“But this is not that different.
I did a lot of auctioning surplus
like this back in the ‘50s. There
isn’t much opportunity to do it
anymore since there isn’t much
of it around anymore,” he said.
Despite its rarity, Rosen said
the value on all the materials was
not high.
