1849 $16 MOFFAT INGOT FOLLOW-UP

  Karl Moulton writes: Here is a brief follow-up to Denis
  Loring's inquiry.  The 1849 Moffat $16.00 ingot, which was
  offered as lot #355 in the Farouk sale, most likely came from
  the Russell Renz collection which was sold by Max Mehl on
  March 23, 1948.   In the Royal Sale catalogue, lot #3932
  offered a similar bar in the identical grade of Extremely Fine.
  Interestingly, King Farouk was a consignor to this sale and
  may have arranged to purchase other items.   He most likely
  paid for any new purchases through the sale of items already
  consigned.

  Denis Loring writes: "Thanks to E-Sylum subscribers who have
  helped me with researching my Moffat $16 ingot.  I just found
  it in the Zabriskie catalog, lot 345, 'ex Humbert collection.'
  The plate is a perfect match.  So, the questions continue:

  1. Does anyone have a named Zabriskie?  If so, who bought
      lot 345?

 2. Does anyone have a Chapman catalog from May, 1902,
     which Gergerke says contains a consignment from Augustus
     Humbert?  If so, please look through the catalog: is there a
     $16 Moffat ingot?  Lot number?  Price?  Buyer?"
