SUBSCRIBER PROFILE: WENDELL WOLKA

With this issue we introduce a new occasional feature of the The E-Sylum: Subscriber Profiles. These are short articles describing the background and/or collecting interests of our readers. Wendell Wolka of Ohio is our first profilee:

Wendell Wolka collects a wide range of numismatic and non- numismatic items, including things as diverse as wire service photos of pre-WW2 commercial airliner crashes and medals of Martin Luther and the Protestant reformation. Closer to home, he collects obsolete bank notes from Indiana and Ohio, colored proof notes, and notes of France and the French colonies.

Numismatic literature interests center on antebellum state and federal reports, letters, counterfeit detector publications, bank documents, and just about anything else related to state banking prior to the end of the Civil War in Indiana and Ohio. A recent passion is an attempt to fill in a complete run of Bankers Magazine up to 1865.
