On this 25th anniversary of our first auction, we would like to thank all of our customers who have participated over the years. We began in 1999, offering a printed catalog and taking bids by smoke signal (landline telephones) and have shifted with the times and technology to online catalogs with bidding by email, text and phone. Yet our small auction format has remained constant, and we have resisted the urge to automate bidding so that we can continue to connect with our clients on a personal level. We have strived to offer selections for everyone and to encourage new collectors.

We are the only small auction that does not charge a buyer's premium and our shipping costs are determed solely by the US Postal Service and UPS. It has been important to us to keep it simple and hope our customers have appreciated that effort.

It has been a pleasure meeting and connecting with a wide variety of people over the years and we hope to continue well into the future. We look forward to supporting your collecting endeavors and to promoting early photography to the next generation.
