Today I was asked to locate a Roman marble sarcophagus fragment representing a figure of Eros holding a garland.  The current owner acquired the item in 1959 in California directly from the Hearst Corporation warehouses.  The email had some further description of the item and I tried locating it by searching in the sales records and online database, but was unable to find anything.

While I was searching through the sales records, I noticed a section called "photo file."  Since we have photo file records for 1929-1930, I decided to match up the sales records from these years with their photos.  I was able to find quite a few matches and had to scan the front and back of each photo along with their corresponding sales records.  This should keep me busy for while.
