STILL LOOKING FOR RESEARCH ASSISTANCE: 1949 A.N.A. SALE BUYER'S NAMES

Dave Perkins writes: "Can anyone help me with this?  I am still
looking for the following information, and asked Wayne to publish
this again.  I am hoping to learn that Emanuel Taylor and / or the
Kagins (Art and / or Paul) were buyers of selected lots in the 1949
ANA sale.  These buyer's names will answer some key questions in
my research.  The following was published previously in The E-Sylum:

 W. David Perkins of Littleton, Colorado, writes: "For my
 research on the early United States silver dollars 1794-1803,
 I am looking for a copy of the 1949 A.N.A. 58th Annual
 Convention Sale, Numismatic Gallery, August 21-24, 1949
 with buyer's names (or initials) for the early silver dollar lots,
 or the bid book (which I believe exists) with the same
 information.

 I am most interested in buyers names for Lots 140-212 and
 Lots 718-725.  The majority of these lots were consigned to
 this sale by Adolph Friedman, who acquired them in the 1945
 sale of The World's Greatest Collection of United States Silver
 Coins.  Friedman bought the majority of the early silver dollar
 1794-1803 lots in The WGC sale.  (Source, Bid Book for
 The WGC Sale of Silver Coins).  Thus buyer's names for the
 1949 A.N.A. sale will provide an important pedigree link,
 and one I have been looking for over a long period of time.
 I can be contacted at WDPERKI@ATTGLOBAL.NET
 Thank you."
