Hi. Time to fill in a few gaps in the library. If anyone has any catalogues from the following list they are willing to sell, please get in touch. Glaring omissions are as follows.

Patrick Finn lists 8 & 18. The latter I should have but haven't seen it for 6 months, so I've given up looking.

Michael Freeman's sale at Christies 23/10/1984.

Baldwin no. 26, May 2001.

Most Corbitt's sales

Any pre- 1960's catalogues from any auction house including those with no illustrations. I have too many gaps to list the missing ones, but also too many catalogues to say what I don't need, so please let me know what you have available.

If you are looking to dispose of any catalogues, please email me with a list as there will inevitably be some I have overlooked, but Spink, DNW and Baldwin with the exception of the above are essentially complete. Glens have a few gaps, Christies and Sotheby slightly more.

Hopefully you can help. Thanks

Rob

I've got the following:

1. Catalogue of the Murdoch Collection of Coins and Medals (the series of Scottish and Anglo Gallic Coins).

Lots 1 - 406 (11th to 13th May 1903). Catalogue is complete, but not all in one bit! It has hand written notes in the margins which appear to contain the names of the winner and the price paid. Names include Spink, Verity, Rollin, Lincoln and Weight (they bought pretty much everything between them). I don't know if it's an auctioneer copy...each page is totalled and the Total of Sale is shown at the end before the plates. Offers?

2. Catalogue of the Murdoch Collection of Coins and Medals (the series of English Historical Medals). Lots 1 to 670 (2nd to 7th June 1904). Complete, but not all in one part. No prices noted. Lots of plates with large illustrations, quite a thick catalogue. Offers?

3. Catalogue of the Murdoch Collection of Coins and Medals (the series of English Historical Medals, GIII to Victoria). Lots 671 to 1084 (14th to 16 December 1904). Complete and just about still held together. No prices noted. Attractive plates, so are copies of fine hand drawn images. Offers?

If you don't want/need them Rob, what do you think the 3 are worth? They came with a collection a few years ago.
