ADDITIONAL NBS BENEFIT SALE LOTS ANNOUNCED
George Kolbe is accepting and cataloguing donated items for the annual Numismatic Bibliomania Society Benefit Auction to be held next
month at the ANA World's Fair of Money. Here are some recent additions. -Editor
13. NUMIMATIC BIBLOMANIA 203. The original hanging sign from the NBS club booth at the 1989 Pittsburgh ANA Convention. Yep, that’s the way it’s spelled! 44 inches wide, 7 inches high, two holes at top for suspension. The spelling is inadequately, if humorously, corrected in black ink. Donated by Wayne Homren, who notes: “[John] Burns and I had endless fun with the sign and I think it would bring some grins at the meeting.” It certainly elicited a smile when your cataloguer first saw it in 1989, before an unknown grammarian saw fit to add a puny “S” and a puny “I” between the appropriate 2 inch high, bold sans serif letters. 14. FAROUK AUCTION • Cairo, Egypt • FEBRUARY 24th to MARCH 6th, 1954. A fascinating printed flyer distributed by Hans M. F.
Schulman. 6 by 9 inches. The first your cataloguer recalls having encountered. As is well-known, Hans Schulman was owed a large sum of
money by the Egyptian Government at the time and he rather desperately endeavors here to redeem the credit due him by actively buying coins
on commission at the sale: “PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MY SERVICES…”
15. TWO BOWERS AND MERENA AUCTION SALE POSTERS FROM THE 1989 ANA SALE OF THE DR. NELSON PAGE ASPEN SALE. Both incorporate the
pictorial front cover of the catalogue, below which one provides information on the five sale Sessions and the other lists various Lot
Pick-Up days. Both 9.75 inches wide on dark green card stock, approximately 25 and 21 inches tall.
This is a great way to both support the club and build your numismatic library. There is still some time left for readers to donate
interesting items. See last week's article for more lots and bidding information. -Editor
