While not a big rowing fan (one two month involvement in a team of eight was enough for me), I did pick up this 1923 album of photos of the Vancouver Rowing Club

Thanks Dan, Mark and Kevin. Glad you guys didn't bid or bid higher . I thought it would go much higher too. I've found some info on the Rosedale AOW and the # matches up and they were chartered in 1880. Surprisingly heavy piece to.

I picked up this 32x48" 1891 litho of The Garden City Billiard Table Company. It was a previously unknown image which was owned by one family for 70+ years. The Chicago based company was formed in 1880 and sold out to Brunswick in 1893. The piece is a little rough in spots but since it looks like it's a one of a kind I guess I can't complain. I can't wait to get it reframed and hang it in the pool room.

Wow! That's really cool!

Wow Clint! That is one terrific artifact! And the detail is quite superb. Craftsmanship that even 130 years later would stand up to today's artisans.

I was the under-bidder to you. The last few months, I have perfected the art of finishing second

But very glad you got it- especially with the Kansas connection. Its a spectacular item, and I'm glad it found its proper home.

Many congrats!

And Mark. I've got the feeling your going to break your runner-up streak come July 10th.

I completely concur with the others, Matty. Good taste + a good eye = a killer display!
