i was wondering if anyone could tell me the best thing to do with a photograph that i found in a cottage on the property that i recently bought---its a knickerbocker team photo from 1862---is it ok to bring it to an auction house if they have a good reputation?
Jeremy- that would be more than a lucky find- that would be a lottery ticket. You might want to first make sure it is a period photograph. If you could scan it we can help.
ive already spoke to robert lifson from robert edward auctions and he advised me not to show copiesd because this thin needs to be "unveiled"---im sure its an original picture because i showed it to an antique dealer-----it turns out that the house i bought used to belong to walter avery one of the knickerbockers-----i want to know if rea is a good place to bring this thing
Don't remember seeing a Knickerbocker team photograph other than the knicks-excelsior '58 example.
The Knickerbocker club still played in '62 so it's a possibility.
Not sure if any original members were still playing that year.
I think Harry Wright played with them until '59, but need to check on that.
The 1860 Knickerbocker team was composed of Keeler, Hayward, DeBost, Welling, Davis, Botsford, Walker, Harry Wright and Morrow. I don't see any matches.
The 1862 Knickerbockers were not a strong club. They were just famous because they were the first to organize. Is this photograph a panoramic? Approximately what size is it?
