Can some one send me the address to send a cheque for same. Bryan Maloney. -----Original Message----- From: mining-history [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Keith Nicholls Sent: 22 October 2010 11:02 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Pre or early 1900's coal mining lantern slides A proposal has been made that an attempt be made to buy these as a job lot - and publish them in the Transactions of the IMMM - and pass the slides for safekeeping to an appropriate museum. So far two of us have stumped up £10 each....so running total is £20. Anyone else?

I think they could well be earlier than 1900. I hope this might be of use to someone.
