PIERCE'S ORMSBY
Charles Davis writes: "I devoted an entire page to the Pierce's
Ormsby in Champa 1 where it sold to a mail bidder at $3,630."
[NOTE: $3,300 plus a 10% buyer's fee is $3,630. -Editor]Michael J. Sullivan adds: You asked about the ownership history
for the Ormsby appearing in the Heritage - CAA January auction.
As Charlie Davis describes in Champa One (Nov. 1994),
"obtained privately from Robert Wester." While estimated at
$5,000, it opened at $3,100 closing at $3,300 with Hugh Shull as
the floor buyer. So ...there is a piece of the story. By the way,
when Armand Champa acquired this second copy of Ormsby in
his library, he sold his first Ormsby via a West Coast dealer to a
St. Louis collector. This occurred sometime around 1992."- 2003-12-28
