LYN KNIGHT OFFERS SULLIVAN 2 COLLECTION OF BANK HISTORIES

The "Sullivan 2 Collection" of US State and Individual Bank Histories will be sold during the Lyn Knight Auctions Memphis Paper Money Show, Session 6 Closing Wednesday, June 19 online. The catalogue can now be viewed online. The bank history lots are offered within the national bank note sections divided by state. The collection includes 367 different bank histories of which only 17 appeared in the original "Sullivan 1 Collection" offered by Currency Auctions of America in the Fall of 2000 which included 903 volumes.

After the original collection was sold in 2000, I continued to collect bank histories with a focus on those I was unable to acquire during my first 15-years of collecting. With 28-years years of bank history collecting experience and the pending publication of my Bibliography of United States Bank Histories pending this summer, it was time to disperse this collection for others to enjoy.
