The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 10, March 4, 2001, Article 8

Former NBS President Michael J. Sullivan chimes in about the Dye's Counterfeit Detector discussed in recent issues of The E-Sylum. He writes:

"Regarding the Dye item sold on E-Bay for which I was the underbidder, the reckless bidding relates to the absolute rarity of the item. The only source listed in OCLC for the item is the Western Reserve Historical Society. I contacted the WRHS and they are unable to locate it; sometimes impounded items just die and get buried!

Despite being produced in Cincinnati, no local library nor historical society owns a copy despite two Ormsby's being in town! Go Figure! Well, to make it real simple - I was attempting to take it back home to Cincinnati. In reality, the item is worth $200 or so."
