WOW!!, I missed these altogether, not that I would have bid at those prices. Regardless, this was a very interesting collection with the two 1887 Chicago Proofs for Goodwin & Co. (Geiss & Williamson). As Jay noted, we didn't know who took the 1887 Chicago photos and by extension the 1887 Detroit photos. Both the 1887 Chicago & Detroit cards share the same backdrop with fake grass covering the same floor pattern (i.e., same studio). So Gray Studio took most of the 1887 Photos, perhaps all but New York.
Great Stuff !!
