[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 22018, member: 60"]I have this framed photograph under glass from 1899 of the Marlborough Brook Filter Beds, in Marlborough, MA. They used these beds to help filter the water before it entered the Sudbury Reservoir. I found a Wikipedia page and a Facebook page that said it was entered into the national Historic Register in 1990. Should I list this under Historic Memorabilia - Cities and Towns as well as antique photographs? What would you start the auction at? I don't want to do a 99 cent start because I get very little traffic. I'm not a power seller and I don't do Global shipping so I'm at the bottom of the search list. With the glass, this thing will weigh close to 9 pounds. If someone from the area buys it, the shipping won't be to high. If it ships out of State, it will be very high. Do you ever remove old glass to keep shipping costs down? Thank you.
