I am always looking for quality historical Americana from the 18th, 19th & 20th centuries and will travel to look at a single item or an entire collection. Please contact me to set up an appointment. I exhibit at antique paper and book fairs throughout the year in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states and at the Baltimore Antique Arms Show every March. I also sell online at Getman's Virtual Book & Paper Fair and on eBay.com.
I live with my wife and daughter in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
