LOST & FOUND

  David Gladfelter writes: "Found: 6th signature or gathering
  (pages 121-144) of Sumner's History of American Currency,
  1st ed. (1874). Came in a bulk lot. Useless by itself, but not
  something one would throw away. Owner may claim by
  writing dgladfelter@comcast.net.

  The item came from R. M. Smythe's 187th sale, lot 5023,
  therein described as "[p]art of a book, 'History of American
  Currency.'"   This lot was part of a large collection of good
  literature from "numismatic libraries and related material of
  two well known numismatists."  I believe one of them was
  George W. Wait, who I am told had gone into a nursing
  home and had pretty well withdrawn from numismatic
  pursuits at the end of his life.  Most of the material was
  grouped into bulk lots of which I got a choice few. With
  hindsight, wish I had been a more aggressive bidder at this
  sale."
