a way to get some old photos

old photos auction in next few weeks. Above, left is a sample lot showing two ladies of the early-mid 1800s

Toronto. One of our exchange societies, The Daguerreian Society, raises funds via commercial announcements of auctions. Two are occurring  in the next few weeks in collaboration with Canada Book Auctions.

While these auctions take place in Toronto, check which currency is quoted (especially if you see something for your collection). Session 2 clearly states USD, while I don’t see any specific statement for session 1 although it likely is USD as well.

Of course our spring fair is coming up (May 25th) – again there will be lots of ideas and objects to complete your collection.

The dates for the spring and fall PHSC auctions have not been set as yet. Check out the right side under “PHSC EVENTS” frequently.

The following is a paid announcement from
