V3 2000 INDEX E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 51, December 10, 2000, Article 15

"Hanging on my office wall is a small broadside, 22 x 14.5 cm. (8.75 x 5.75 inches), framed, entitled: "STOLEN/From the Store of Edward Cogan, No. 48/North Tenth Street."

I bought this at, I believe, an ANA Convention years ago and have never done any research on it. A "Pattern Cent, 1859" and several "Edward Cogan, Washington Medal, and Store Cards" dies are among the items listed.

The prior owner wrote on the back of the frame: "Cogan Burglary took place ? between Oct 28 1859 and May 21, 1860" and also cites an article in the April 1867 AJN."
