Second C.S. Fly
12:03 PM PST, 2/18/2007
Hi Everyone,
This is the second of many Camillus S. Fly photos that I will be auctioning. I want to let you know that I have had these original C.S. Fly photos verified as originals by two different auction houses both well known and established.
Have a great day and thank-you for reading my blog.

C.S. Fly Photographer

Hello Everyone,
If you love turn of the century photo's, old west history, Geronimo, and Tombstone, Arizona. Then look out this is going to be an exciting run of auctions.
Several years ago I bought a house in Bisbee, Arizona. The owners left a plethora of items behind in the house. At first I thought what a mess! As I started cleaning up I realized I had a collectors dream. Antiques and collectibles everywhere! I found a baseball signed by Cy Young, a document from Theodore Roosevelt, a letter from Helen Keller, photo's, stamps, a Lionel train set, china, silver and the list goes on and on.
Turns out the owner was a banker in Tombstone, Arizona Territory and his son was a banker in Bisbee, Arizona. These men were the head bankers and handled the estates, the family were avid collectors and never threw anything away. I am only the second owner of this home and no one had lived there for nearly thirty years prior to my buying this home. Most everything in the house had been boxed up and safe from the suns harsh sunlight. Being I am in southern Arizona mold, mildew and rust has not been an issue.
So on to the current auction. From the research I have done this is going to be the largest auction of C. S. Fly, Camillus S. Fly photos up for auction. For the last four years I have rarely come across C. S. Fly original photos.
I have over twenty family or general Camillus S. Fly Photo's and I have four really, really exciting C.S. Fly photo's going up for auction. If original photos of Geronimo, the surrender, Apache May, Apaches at their camp make you tingle all over, then stay tuned and don't miss the up and coming auctions.
The family photo's were the wealthy of Tombstone also Bisbee Arizona's first school teacher. Children with their beloved dog and much, much more.
Even if your not bidding I hope you watch these items they are a great part of our American history. C.S. Fly was the only photographer that Geronimo would allow to take his picture. What an exciting moment in history!!!
