Clear Skies and Cold
-16° C / 3.2° F
An Upcoming Excellent
Marz Auctions Coming Soon
I haven't been blogging lately as I was in Mexico over the holidays.
My brother and sister, together with their spouses met my wife and
I in Cancun, Mexico. My brother and sister moved from Quebec long ago, and
relocated to Alberta and Ontario respectively. We see each other every so often,
sometimes each year, and sometimes longer.
The weather was fine, the company was excellent,
as was the food. Best of all, the Mexican People were nice and helpful. The hotel staff
was wonderful, and always worked hard to help us with whatever we asked.
Wherever we went, we were always greeted with smiles and a motivation to help us
with any needs that we might have.
I hadn't written a Marz Auction Post in a while, and so I wanted to write a post for them today. Their next upcoming auction is coming soon.
It will be starting on February 22, 2025 on LiveAuctioneers.
What I've noticed over the years that I've blogged (14 years and counting) is the
excellent photography that Marz Auctions presents for their merchandise.
Diffused lighting from electronic flash lighting heads creates a nice soft lighting,
and reduced contrast. The photographer doesn't have to worry about losing detail
(what you see) in the shadows, and the bright areas (called highlights) are not too
bright, so as to lose detail from over-exposure.
Description:

in length with working friction driver at rear. The toy was made circa 1911.
Good used original condition with darkening and added varnish.

So that's it for today, and thanks for dropping by to read this post.If you go to Marz Auctions' LiveAuctioneers website, you will see a wonderful collection of old toys going top auction. Better still, you will learn a lot about each and every toy. Marz Auctions' writers for the toy descriptions are experienced and knowledgeable about the toys going to auction. You can learn a lot about toys from them, and that's part and parcel of collecting toys and learning.
So that's it for today.
It's amazing to return home, here in Montreal,Quebec,Canada
to a temperature of
-16° C / 3.2° F, when yesterday, it was 28° C / 82.4° F.
At least it's the beginning of February, the days are getting longer in the
amount of daylight, and in a month, the weather will be even warmer.
Thanks for dropping by to visit my blog,
and as always, have a great part of the day or night,
wherever you may be.
