	       GALLERY OF HISTORY, INC.  and SUBSIDIARIES 
	       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	     Nine Month Period Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994


	1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by 
Gallery of History, Inc. (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, 
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have 
been made.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and 
regulations.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be 
read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto 
included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

     2)   Unclassified Balance Sheet
The Company includes in its financial statements an unclassified balance sheet 
because it believes that such presentation is more meaningful as a consequence 
of the Company's policy of acquiring documents in excess of its current needs, 
when feasible, and it is not practicable to determine what portion of the 
documents owned will be sold within the next twelve months.

     3)   Income Taxes
The Company realized $69,568 credit for income taxes in its second quarter of 
fiscal 1995 due to a federal income tax refund resulting from a net operating 
loss carryback.  The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" in its first fiscal quarter 
of 1994 by reporting a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle 
and not restating prior periods.  The effect decreased net income as a non-
cash, non-recurring cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by 
an amount totaling $90,992.

     4)  Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to 
conform with the 1995 presentation.  As  a result of an audit adjustment in
the prior periods, the three month and nine month period figures have been 
adjusted.  The effect on net income was an additional loss of $8,204 for the 
three month period ended June 30, 1994 and $24,609 additional loss for the 
nine month period ended June 30, 1994.

     5)  Earnings (Loss) per Share 
The computation of earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average 
number of shares of common stock outstanding and stock options granted that 
are outstanding, if applicable.  The average number of shares of outstanding 
common stock for each of the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 was 
5,917,654 and 5,910,154, respectively.  The average number of shares of 
outstanding common stock for each of the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 
1994 was 5,917,297 and 5,910,154, respectively.

		Part 1 - Item 2  Financial Information
		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
	    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources


	Due to the nature of the Company's inventory of documents 
owned, the Company has presented an unclassified balance sheet (see 
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements).  Accordingly, the 
traditional measures of liquidity in terms of changes in working 
capital are not applicable.

	Net cash provided by operating activities exceeded net cash 
used in operating activities for the nine month period ended June 
30, 1995, by $429,706 largely due to the net income from operations 
and a decrease in the document inventory, in addition to the non-
cash depreciation charge.  The decrease in the document inventory 
was due to increased sales and reduced purchasing of inventory.  
Deposits from customers decreased $126,276 during the nine month 
period ended June 30, 1995 due to the completion of September 1994 
sales.  The cash generated from operations was primarily used in 
financing activities to reduce the Company's bank line of credit 
and other notes and mortgage payable by $398,418 during the first 
nine months of fiscal 1995.  The line of credit the Company has 
available from its bank is in the amount of $100,000 at an interest 
rate of 1.5% over the prime rate with a maturity date of July 15, 
1996.  Loans under the line are secured by the Company's inventory.  
As of June 30, 1995, there was no outstanding balance on this line 
of credit.

	The Company believes that by continuing to reduce its overhead 
and increasing revenues, its current cash and working capital 
requirements will be satisfied for the near term by revenue 
generated from operations and amounts available under the existing 
line of credit.  In the event the Company does not generate 
sufficient working capital from operations, the Company will seek 
alternative equity and/or debt financing, the availability and 
terms of which cannot be assured.



Results of Operations

	Document sales increased 87% for the three month period ended 
June 30, 1995 as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 
1994 and sales increased 32% for the nine month period ended June 
30, 1995 as compared to the period ended June 30, 1994.  The 
Company ran a promotional campaign during November and December 
1994 and another during May and June 1995, which accounted for 
approximately 12% of the current nine month period sales.  The 
Company has elected to sell at auction material which has proven 
not to be popular in its galleries, lesser desirable material and 
material such as signed books which do not lend themselves to 
framing or exhibition, in addition to the Company's good marketable 
materials.  Based on past auction results, the Company intends to offer 
better and more desirable materials in future auctions.  Sales generated 
from auctions during the current nine month period amount to 10% of 
<PAGE>
total sales.  Sales to wholesale and/or major customers (i.e., individual 
customers whose purchases account for 10% or more of total document sales) 
amounted to approximately 12% of the nine month sales total for the period 
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to no major customer sales during 
the nine month period ended June 30, 1994.  Cost of sales remained 
the same at 21% of sales for both three month periods ended June 
30, 1995 and 1994.  Cost of sales amounted to 25% of net sales for 
the nine month period ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 22% of net 
sales for the period ended June 30, 1994.  This increase is largely 
due to sales at wholesale pricing realized in the auction sales 
during the current nine month period, which resulted in a cost of 
29% of net sales.  The resulting gross profit decreased to 75% of 
net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to a 
gross profit of 78% of net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 
1994.

	Operating expenses decreased 8% to 74% of net sales for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1995 from 152% of net sales for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1994.  For the nine month period, operating expenses 
decreased 14% to 71% of net sales for 1995 compared to 109% of net 
sales for 1994.  Approximately 50% of the nine month decrease was 
attributed to the closure of two galleries in fiscal 1994.  
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 6% to 64% of 
net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 from 128% 
of net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 1994.  
Comparing the quarters, insurance cost decreased 17% due to reduced 
document inventory, a reduction in travel expenses accounted for a 
83% decrease and professional fees decreased 58%.  For the nine 
month period in the current year, selling, general and 
administrative expenses decreased 10% to 61% of net sales as 
compared to 89% of net sales for the previous year expenses.  The 
closing of the galleries in fiscal 1994 reduced these expenses 
approximately $90,000 or 73% of the decrease comparing the two nine 
month periods.  General insurances decreased 23% comparing the nine 
month periods for the reason stated above.  A reduction in travel 
expenses resulted in a decrease of 31% and reduced professional 
fees resulted in a decrease of 37% comparing the two nine month 
periods.  Payroll and related benefits and taxes decreased 4% due 
to reduced personnel in the current nine month period.  Expenses 
attributed to the headquarters building operation, part of which 
are allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses, 
decreased 17% comparing the two nine month periods primarily due to 
a change in janitorial services.  Depreciation expense decreased 
26% to 8% of net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 
1995 from 19% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 
1994.  For the nine month periods ended June 30, depreciation 
expense decreased 31% to 8% of net sales for 1995 as compared to 
15% of net sales for 1994.  Comparing the nine month periods, 
gallery closures accounted for 27% of this decrease and the 
remaining decrease can be attributed to a reduction of equipment 
sold in previous periods.  Advertising expenses increased 
approximately $10,000 comparing the two nine month periods due to 
promotional campaigns the Company employed during November and 
December 1994 and again in May and June 1995.  Repair expenses 
decreased 15% comparing the two quarter periods and 11% comparing 
the two nine month periods which was directly related to the 
gallery closures.

	Interest expense amounted to 10% of net sales for the three 
months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 22% of net sales for the 
three months ended June 30, 1994.  For the two nine month periods 
ended June 30, interest was 11% of net sales for 1995 as compared 
to 14% of net sales for 1994.  The decrease in interest expense can 
be attributed to the lower average outstanding loan balances in the 
current period.  Included in selling, general and administrative 
expenses is 50% of the operating cost to maintain the headquarters 
building.  This percentage is the approximate percentage of 
leasable space of the building occupied by the Company's 
headquarters operation.  The remaining building operating expenses 
plus the rental revenues realized are offset and included in other 
income and expense.  This amounted to approximately $38,000 
operating profit for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 as 
compared to approximately $24,000 operating profit for the three 
month period ended June 30, 1994.  For the nine month period ended 
June 30, 1995, the operating profit was approximately $115,000 
compared to approximately $72,000 operating profit for the nine 
months ended June 30, 1994.  The increase is due to an increase in 
the square footage leased, increased rents and a reduction in 
operating expenses.

A credit for income taxes was realized in the nine month period 
ended June 30, 1995 resulting from a federal income tax refund due 
to a carryback of last year's losses to a previous year's income.
