THOUGHTS ON KOLBE SALE #98

Just a few items I'd like to note in the latest sale catalog
from George Kolbe:

Lot 15: An original "Martin Nathaniel Daycius" flyer
announcing the April 1, 1992 sale of numismatic books
and catalogs at 1204 Magnolia St. in Ft. Worth, TX.
This is R.E. Vail's copy of the famous April Fool's Day
joke that targeted U.S. numismatic bibliophiles.
Coincidentally, I located my own copy of this mailing
the other day. Handwriting and DNA analysis is
underway to determine the source of the prank....

Lot 115: The E-Sylum gets credit in this lot for
background information on Author Lynn Glaser,
from Bob Leonard's August 21, 2005 submission
regarding Glaser's "Cartographic Crime" The 2004
date in the catalog is a typo.

Lot 353: "The World's Worst Plated Parmelee Sale."
William H. Woodin's copy of this landmark sale
became waterlogged at one time, leaving it in a
sad state.
