    Auction House Recommendations

    Greetings, All,

    I have a collection of fairly high-end CW (Federal) papers and letters I would like to sell as a grouping and would like to solicit your thoughts on the best choice for an auction house for me to work with. I know most of the guys who deal in weapons but who would be your first choice for paper? Thanks very much in advance!

    [HOUSTON] TRI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, October 28, 1863,

    Wanted.

    All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.

      Cody is right. I was looking at a copy of the Confederate Constitution with them yesterday and one of their big paper auctions. And to throw some competion at them, try Cowans, and also Bonham and Butterfields.

        Add James D. Julia to the list just for fun! We often overlook all these folks just for the sheer research potential regarding originals!

            With any auction house be prepared to wait, and pay a premium. Perhaps a year, and as much as 20 per cent.
