Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
Please don't EVER mark any package sent to us as a "gift". We never do this with any package we send, either.

Re: Where Are These Daybills?
Firstly thank you. Your suggestion is great' I will contact you shortly privately to discuss this further.dedeposter said:Great research - have you ever thought of contacting the Society of Cinema Pioneers to see if anyone has recollections? I'm a member and could give you contact details if you like. Perhaps they can put a something in their newsletter?

Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
It doesn't work that way. If you send anything to the US it is subject to applicable tariffs that must be collected prior to sending. The good news is that posters don't attract tariffs (at the moment). However, each package has to be verified prior to shipping. Some people send packages as a gift but that is always a risk.Rick said:
If i was sending a package for Bruce to sell, I assume there would be no tariff because it is being sold in the US?

Re: When the time comes ... how will you sell your collection?
My number one problem with consignors is ones that try to include a fair amount of low value items with their better items.
I refuse to do this. What is funny about it is that the low value items generate a TINY amount of income, so little is lost by leaving them out.
Such people are spoiled by the fact that there WAS a time when I took anything and everything, but that was in the days of large boxes that cost $3 to ship by Priority Mail.
To such people I always reply, "Only send items that meet our minimums, or send nothing".
And if I don't receive enough consignments with the new minimums, I will retire. BUT I AM NOT SEEING ANY SIGN OF THAT!

Re: Glass Slides
A backlit LED frame would be one option.
I intend to use a One Sheet sized example and possibly modify it with a sheet of acrylic sealed around the edges (with the slides sandwiched in between).
I own a few hundred, so hope to create a display for my 1920s to 40s ones.
