Who is it? Dealers from c.1924

A new thread in the Antique Dealer Research Project is this initiative to try to identify the antique dealers in the silent B&W movie of a Christie's auction sale from 1926 - thanks to Kate Hay, formerly of the V&A Museum, for suggesting this theme! Here is a link to the Christie's Film. And thanks to Chris Coles too for finding the up to date information about the film - which was made in 1926 for The Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia in London 2nd-27th March 1926.

We have managed to identify one dealer so far - the famous Moss Harris, of M. Harris & Sons - see photograph.  But wondered if anyone else can recognise who the dealers are?

Thanks, as always, to the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Film Institute.

Here are some more stills of who we think are antique dealers - if you recognise anyone, please do let us know!
