1910 ELDER DINNER PHOTO IDENTIFIED

Regarding a photo offered in David Fanning's price list, Karl Moulton
writes: "The picture of the several dozen notable numismatists sitting
around a large table, was not taken at a Tom Elder sale.  It was taken
right after the "Old English Dinner" that was presented by the New York
Numismatic Club at Keens Chop House, 70 West 36th St., in New York City
on September 9th, 1910.  This was during the joint 1910 ANA / ANS
convention.

"Being in NYC, Tom Elder apparently hosted the dinner.  The caption,
written in ink on the image, is incorrect about it being taken at an
early Elder auction sale.  Daniel Kennedy was the cataloguer and
auctioneer for this event and is so noted on the image, which is
displayed in Q. David Bowers book titled 'Virgil Brand: The Man and
His Era', pgs. 166-167.

"Interestingly, one important person that is not identified by the
unknown captioner, is Virgil Brand, who is seated between Joseph
Mitchelson and Farran Zerbe."
