Hi Bill,
The Sikh market is booming, with rival collectors boosting prices. These were well known images, and I doubt there was anything unsavoury about the auction. Religion enters into this field of study, so two potential buyers will bid quite fanatically. These werent Indian photos, but Sikh photos, and so entered a different price structure. Try buying a khanda now for the same price as not-so-many years ago. The price on anything Sikh-related is crazy. |

Makes me wonder about these I have from the 1920's from Iraq and Egypt and other middle east countries. I have 3 albums full of course these are just snapshots. Too Bad they arent 3 albums full of Indian photos

Hi Alan,
Would auction houses be of any help in the valuation of the photos? |

I will have to check, I just recently bought them. I haven't really had time to check them out. There are 3 old photo albums with all kinds of interesting photos and postcards.They appearantly belonged to a british soldier in the 1920's. I just posted a few for grins,like I said I wish they were worth what those albumen ones from india sold for. I could retire but they are likely worth about what I paid for them. I will have to do some research on them this week. Thanks for your suggestion |
