TOM ELDER PHOTOS - WERE THERE DINNERS IN BOTH 1908 AND 1910?

Regarding the Tom Elder banquet picture discussed recently, Dave Hirt
writes: "I am writing from Budapest, away from my library, so these
are the facts as I remember them. The banquet was not in 1910, but
rather 1908, following the ANA convention in Philadelphia, just prior
to Elder's James Wilson sale.  An account of the banquet is in The
Numismatist of October/November of that year. I have a copy of the
picture, and in addition to Mr. Virgil Brand, I have identified 5
or 6 others."

[Karl Moulton's analysis of the photo in question last week seems
definitive in placing it in 1910 at Keen's Chop House in New York.
Lacking library access, Dave may be recalling a different Elder
photo. -Editor]
