Alan V. Weinberg forwarded this note about a nice article in the latest issue of Heritage Magazine for Intelligent Collectors (Winter 2013/14, pages 59-67). The issue is available on the Heritage web site (sign-in required).

I received the latest Heritage Magazine for subscribers and Legacy Club members. Within it is a multi-page article with various correspondence to B. Max Mehl from prominent Mehl auction/private treaty consignors. But what is unusual about the lengthy article are the numerous rare pictures of the famous numismatists, many or most of whom I've not seen images of before.
Good close-up bust images of James Ten Eyck, Waldo Newcomer, William A Philpott, William Atwater, King Farouk and of course Mehl himself, together with their oft-fancy letterheads. Of course Atwater, Newcomer and Ten Eyck are legendary and, I believe, images are quite rare.
