The Early Sellers
The James Elder ad brought back a lot of memories. As a teenager trying to add to my collection in the early 1970s, I purchased many items from Mr. Elder in Florida. Later, as a lifelong writer, I had the pleasure of writing in The Trader Speaks and working with Dan Dishley. What a gentleman! Same goes for my old friend John Stommen. They were part of our collecting world for all the right reasons. They loved the hobby as much as we did.
