My Latest eBay Finds
I’ve been having too much fun lately buying items on eBay that relate to my book project. Within the past week, I’ve become the owner of two photos and one concert program. G. Oliver Riggs and his bands aren’t featured in any of the items, but all three items are from the time period in which the St. Cloud Municipal Boys’ band was well-known.
It’s easier to show and tell, instead of just tell, so here goes:
Item No. 1: a 1928 photo of the Lincoln Junior High School girls’ band of Minneapolis
The back of the photo says: This band was a prize winner in the Minnesota school band contest of 1927, taking first place among competing bands from junior high schools, grammar schools and other public and private schools below senior high age.
