[BCMA] artifacts for deaccession

Wed Dec 5 16:21:31 PST 2012

Port Moody Station Heritage Society might want to explain who or what
"Pirie" is - the carver of the first three items.

Few msueums want more cameras, but if they do, the manufacturing date is
usually an important aspect. Kodak cameras frequently have a patent date(s)
inside the back, visible when it is opened to load film (old timers like
myself remember using these - loading in the dark by feel). There will
usually be a series of dates as the patent was renewed, so the camera will
by of the style for first date, but physically made after tha last patent
date.

Re: "

Pin; WWI, brass "delegate"

Brass pin, "Delegate" rectangle.

This sounds odd as "delegate" was not a word applied to the thousands who
went over to fight. I suspect that it is from the 1936 Vimy Pilgrimage or
for a veterans' organization. I presume you meant to write "rectangular"
rather than "rectangle."
