Toronto<\/strong>. Image collectors sometimes ‘group’ old photos by topic – eg the meter at left could be in a group called, ‘meters’, ‘scientific instruments’ etc..<\/p>\n

While the meter is over a century old, the photograph \u00a0is quite recent and definitely not a collectible – yet.<\/p>\n

The meter once tested individual cells in a battery used commercially in communications.<\/p>\n

Our 2026 events have been moving along and very successful by any measure. Our next event, this Sunday July 12th, is our big outdoor (rain or shine) Trunk Sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year it will be held on the grounds of Legion Hall #101 in Southwestern Toronto (Long Branch) – you know the place, it’s where we hold our auctions. To reserve a spot ($35 member\/$45 non member) or ask a question, email Clint at fair@phsc.ca.<\/p>\n

We can’t be sure old ‘instrument’ photos will turn up, but we are sure you will find lots to add to your collection, user gear, etc. Remember, viewing and parking are both free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
