Not sure how often everyone gets over to the dark side of the nonsports but we have a great article from Michael Reeve about a visit to the Wharton-Tigar collection at the Museum. Michael actually helped Wharton-Tigar catalog and prepare some of the collection.

If that doesn't work..........go to the NS side and search for Tigar......it'll pull it up.

Fantastic share Martin........thanks so much!

That is some really bad archival preservation by the British Museum!
