1780’s Trading Ceremony At York Factory. Lithograph. $675
Located in NW Edmonton. Framed Lithograph, measures 16 1/2” wide x 19” high. Price $675. Trading Ceremony at York Factory, 1780's By ADAM SHERIFF SCOTT, R.C.A. The arrival of the main body of Indians in the early summer was one of the important events of the year at the posts along the shores of Hudson Bay. Andrew Graham, who was at York Factory for several years, has left us an eye-witness account of the elaborate ceremony that preceded the trading at York when the Indian canoe fleet arrived from the West. After they had landed at the fort and had been duly received by the governor (as the local officer in charge was known), the chief and his lieutenant were dressed up in European clothes and then escorted to the chief's lodge with much pageantry. "In front are the halberts and ensigns," writes Graham, "next to the drummer beating a march; then several of the Factory Servants bearing the bread, and prunes, pipes, brandy, tobacco, and the beaver coats of the chief, which he had on when admitted into the Factory. Then comes the Captain [chief] walking quite erect and stately, smoaking his pipe and conversing with the Governor and his officers; then follow the Lieutenant and perhaps a friend or two who was permitted to come in with the Chief." In the picture, the chief, attired in scarlet, with one red stocking and one blue, is seen walking with the governor in all his finery. The walls of the fort, rising above the palisade, are of squared logs covered with plaster. The red ensign bears the Company's coat-of-arms in the fly. Price $675. Can ship once paid. Located in NW Edmonton. Available 7 days a week. Call or text me 780-803-7501

Rare Mint 1985 Sony FH-5 Compact High Density Component System *Read
Cosmetically this unit is in mint condition, I would say it’s a 9.5/10. Priced to sell. These sell for crazy money, working or not. This hefty “Boombox” is actually comprised of 3 separate components held together by metal brackets and 2 detachable speakers. The heavy duty handle is removeable. Weighs 30lbs without batteries! Runs on AC or optional 10 X D cell batteries. Has 3 sets of RCA inputs, 1 is a dedicated phono input (built in MM pre-amp) and 2 are for a CD player, etc. The sound that pumps out of this thing is nuts. Components have had all the switches and pots cleaned with DeoxIT. Tested and everything besides the tape deck is working as it should. Also tested with a turntable. *Note: The tape deck is not functioning. Just had the belts replaced professionally and they noticed that one of the idler wheel assemblies has an issue. They tried to correct the problem, and it worked for a few days, then stopped working properly. Brought it back to them and they told me that it would need to be replaced. They could not find a replacement. Individual Components: TC-58 Tape Deck - Auto-reverse playback, automatic recording level, auto play and automatic sensor. ST-58 Tuner – AM/FM stereo with telescopic antenna and inputs for optional external antenna’s TA-58 Integrated Stereo Amplifier – 2 X 25 W into 8 ohm speakers on AC power or 2 X 3.5 W on battery power. Phono input plus 2 more RCA inputs. Built in 5 band graphic equalizer. APM-058 Speakers – 3-Way super wide speaker system, 4 ohm, 25W (nom) 50W (peak)
