<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2808897, member: 24544&quot;]There are no good resources online for attribution.&nbsp; The books all describe attribution points that help reduce the the potential variety down to a handful.&nbsp; I have never found this information online.&nbsp; Keep in mind that Sheldon is still available for relatively cheap (one on ebay for $35) and is more than acceptable for attribution.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, you have a couple options. If you are willing to do the work, the Dan Holmes catalogs are basically complete, available online, and can be used to attribute, at least for the early and middle dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Early date: <a href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54" rel="nofollow">http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Middle date: <a href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=59" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=59" rel="nofollow">http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=59</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Late date: <a href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/chap_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=62&amp;chapter=1&amp;page=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/chap_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=62&amp;chapter=1&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/chap_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=62&amp;chapter=1&amp;page=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Option 2, at least for the early and middle dates.&nbsp; Post pictures here and I am sure some of us will help with attributions.&nbsp; Once you get hooked they are fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>For late dates, you have a different issue.&nbsp; The attribution points for many varieties are extremely subtle and difficult to pick up in pictures.&nbsp; Your best bet on these is to buy Grellman if you are interested.&nbsp; With the book, attribution is tricky and takes some practice to get good at, but it&#039;s doable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
