P3D Keystone views in Colorado

[Bob Wier <wier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

About a hundred years ago (actually a little more), one of the Kilburn
photographers swung thru the area here taking a bunch of photos. Since I'm
interested in everything in that sequence, I'm in a somewhat unique position
of collecting views numbered sequentially. For example, there is Keystone
#8008 which was taken down at the end of my street. However, the sequence
I'm really interested in centers around #8080. Now the problem is that
other than the sequence number, some of the view are not labeled as being
scenery. For example, #8074 (which I recently acquired from EBay) shows
5 small children on a burro, but makes no reference to the location. However,
it shows a log cabin in the background at the *other* end of my street!
My ultimate find would be a circa 1898 view of my house (sigh...)

Now, I know that some dealers at NSA conventions arrange their views in
numerical order. If anyone is going who will have net access and/or the
inclination to scan quickly through some boxes, I'd be interested to
send a list of the approximate number ranges that I'm after so that
a purchase might be arranged, or at least so that someone might pass my
name onto the relevant dealer to contact.

Kindly drop me a note direct, if so...(of course, if nothing turns up
this year or the next, then there is the Mesa, Az meet (yeah!)in 2000).
(Ye Gods! I still haven't gotten used to writing that!).

THANKS
