Kingston Ephemera Online Auction

Here are some screenshots from a recent MaxSold online auction. They all depict vintage Kingston items carefully held in someone's care for years and now available to the highest bidder. Drury's Fuel and Builders' Supplies business card advertising Delaware & Hudson anthracite coal (top photo).

Perhaps a cigar box illustration (Oberndorffer) showing the Rev. George Monro Grant, known for transforming Queen's University in his 25 years of leadership (1877-1902) from a struggling Presbyterian college into a dynamic national institution.
Statement of account for $333.34 from 1924 (below). In 1910, the Collingwood Shipyards took on the shipyard and drydock as a subsidiary, named the Kingston Shipbuilding Co., also known as Collingwood Shipbuilding Co., Kingston. 
Note from A. Chown and Co. from 1897 re: sloop runners (two versions - below):
