It's a shame to hear of the store's closing, there are some neat memorabilia pieces relating to the store that can often be found on the bay.

First off - this is not mine. I wish it was! I found it on the web and thought it was awesome! Looks like it could have been taken at the store...

I figured that place would have closed it's doors years ago. I have spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh visiting family members, I wish I knew it was open as I would have love to gone in there.

The Wagner photo was from one of our appraisals, unfortunately the signature could not be confirmed and was most likely a secretarial signature of some kind and was sent back to the owner. Still the photo was very unique and still a vintage print. We also did another appraisal for some other Wagner photos that came from the family estate.
