Guess right – win $50

Here is the challenge.  If you can be the first one to guess the year and the model of the item pictured (it is the big primed item sitting prominently in the middle of the picture), we will give you a $50 gift card to Applebees.  So after reading this article, examining the pictures and doing your own research, leave your answer below and hopefully you will win a dinner at Applebees on us.  Ben and Jerry (you know who you are) do not qualify for this challenge as you both have insider trading information regarding this item.

Since Eikenhout has been in business since 1894 there are many ancient artifacts lying in attics and basements all around the state of Michigan that have the Eikenhout name attached.  Things like calendars, thermometers, magazines and so much more.  We have collected some artifactual Eikenhout antiques from people digging around and accidentally finding something in their attic.

In the next few years, we would love to put together an Eikenhout room dedicated to our history along with pictures and memorabilia.  If you find items of historical value to Eikenhout, we will make sure you also get a dinner on us.

Here are some of the newest pictures to help you guess.

granville-ave-pics-052granville-ave-pics-054This guessing game has been like the Indians circling the wagons.  It is getting ever so close.  It is inevitable that someone will guess correctly.  Here are some clues that will make it much easier.  After getting a call from a caller that one of our trucks have been located in an unused field south of Grand Rapids, we went to look at it.  This is what we saw.

2335dn_20100302_10274601_3For those of you wondering if anyone has won yet, the answer is no.  So I am going to give you a great clue that will give us a winner of the $50 gift card.  Comment line #25 is two thirds correct.  You decide which one item is incorrect and make it right.  It’s that easy.  Guess and get a night out to Applebee’s on Eikenhout.
