Swann at the DC Supershow

-
 As part of our run-up to the first pen auction at Swann Galleries on September 13, less than a month away, we previewed about fifty lots and had some promotional materials at the DC Supershow this past weekend.  It was a busy weekend and we did not have time to do much photography, but I did get some iPhone snaps of the action.
 Below, most of our "crew: left to right Dan Casper, Janet Wright, Carla Mortensen, Kim Sosin (missing were David Wright and Rick Propas)

 The catalogue should be online within the week, and I will let everyone know when it is available.
