taking a shine to things

lot 47 tintype from Capitol Gallery online auction ending April 8, 2026 at 10 pm (or so)

Toronto. Image collectors have a wide range of sources available for unusual old images. At left is what seems to be a tintype of a youngster polishing shoes.

The image is tagged as lot 47 in the Capitol Gallery‘s Spring Auction (West Virginia), which ends around 10 pm on April 8th. Online bids are accepted.

This is a chance for collectors to look over the offerings and add to their collection. To see the catalogue, click here and then click the choice of image type. Each listing shows a photo of the image, its lot number, and its estimated value (and the latest bid).

Once again, a sister organization (The Daguerrian Society) announced the Capitol Gallery auction.

Those uneasy about cross border events can do well to visit our 2026 events here in the big smoke. A couple of up and coming events are Spring Auction on May 3rd and the Spring Fair on May 24th. As the dates approach, we will pin a poster and details to the top of this site.
