And collectors skipped brown bagging and picked up metal lunch boxes from the 1950s and '60s at an April Missouri auction.

Old-school examples can be found with prices in Kovel's June issue.

Late 19th century photographers documented everyday life, scenic views and historical events with photographic images that look three-dimensional, called stereoviews. People could relax in their parlors while seeing the country with a box of stereoview cards and a viewer. A single collection of stereoviews sold at a recent Cincinnati auction. Learn more about these stereoscopic photographs and see examples that sold for up to $2,700 in Kovels' June newsletter.
