- PAUL WAGNER OF Bridport was one of many antique hounds at Ralph Farnsworth’s old barn in New Haven on May 11 to check out the sizable collection of gasoline pumps on auction.

- THE LATE RALPH FARNSWORTH, father of Michael (pictured), went all over collecting interesting things that he stored in his New Haven barn and showed as a quirky museum. After he died in 2022, his family started deacquisitioning some of the stuff, and brought Bridport auctioneer Tom Broughton out of retirement to do much of the job. Broughton auctioned a bunch of antique gasoline pumps at the farm on May 11. Independent photo/Steve James
