[BCMA] Objects on offer

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello, Museum-land!

 

Once again I'm sending this out with a list of objects that have been
offered to us. While there are a couple of items on this list that we are
interested in (the tea service wagon, for example), most of them are
duplicates of things already in our collection or just not something we can
give a home to. If anybody is interested in any of these, let me know and I
will connect you to the donor.

 

These items were purchased or collected by a man, born here in Creston in
1914, and his wife, who came to the valley several years later. They
ultimately wound up owning an early tourist campground and mobile home park
- but none of these objects are connected with that. I have asked the donor
if she has any more information on any of the objects and how or why they
were acquired.

 

These items are currently in a storage unit in Calgary. The donor can get
them as far as Creston via a relative, and I'm happy to help distribute them
from here if the receiving organisation covers the cost of shipping. The
donor is offering to donate but would like tax-deductible receipts for the
value, if possible.

 

Thanks,

 

Tammy
