SELL TO TEN BELLS
Have something historical to sell?
We buy selected rare books, old photographs, manuscripts, ephemera and private archives. Send a few photographs and a short description for an initial review.
WHAT WE BUY
Four areas of interest
Historical photographs
Original prints, albums, negatives and significant photographic collections.
Letters & ephemera
Manuscripts, diaries, correspondence, posters, programmes and historical printed material.
Private archives
Family papers, personal collections and groups of related material. We prefer archives kept together.
Particular interest: Ireland, Britain, Europe and the United States, from the nineteenth century onwards and earlier where relevant. We generally do not buy ordinary modern second-hand books.
