RE: Info. on Elliott News Service Photo Posters
Hello all. I came across this old forum thread while googling some pictorial news posters from the Elliott News Co. I discovered white previewing a rural auction this week.
The ones I've found are 1920's. There are approximately 100 of them, very good condition, generally, most with original caption sheets intact. They are large format. I didn't measure, but I'd guess approx. 14 x 20. Subjects are some military and aviation but mainly general news of the day.
If a stranger to your forums could beg some advice, what would be a reasonable amount to pay for approximately 100 of these at auction (I'm thinking no more than a low wholesale price), let's assume common / general subject matter with maybe a few standouts of special interest?
I collect odd photography formats and ideally I'd like to ebay a few to offset purchase price and keep the others.
Thanks y'all, you've already provided a great source of info. on these apparently little-known relics of news photography.
