  1993 ANA KOLBE BOOK AUCTION PHOTOS
  

  Past NBS President Michael Sullivan writes: "The ANA
  Convention is just around the corner, but a little trivia
  from the past may be in order. How many of you attended
  G. Kolbe's "First ANA Numismatic Book Auction" in
  Baltimore, July 1993? As usual, George did an outstanding
  job cataloguing, catalogue layout, etc. One of the most
  intriguing parts of the sale was the last eight lots consisting
  of "Antique Coin Cabinets." The catalogue states "Color
  Photographs Available on Request (please include $1.00
  for each."
  

  I recall having seen the photos in 1993 being unsuccessful
  in my quest to secure one of the cabinets. Fortuitously the
  photographs reappeared in my library while cleaning through
  some correspondence files recently. The photographs are
  3.5 x 5 inches with each lot number neatly written in red ink
  on the back. While its true I've thinned out 25% of my
  library in the last few years, but I still cannot find things!
  As one recent visitor put it, "Michael - at least the boxes
  running along the walls are now gone." Mystery solved.
  Modern rarity rediscovered."
