Lot 192: 1895 Bound Volume of The Numismatist

Interesting bookplate - C. Elizabeth W. Osmun. Was she an early lady numismatist? Is anyone familiar with the name? What did she collect?

I did find a reference in The Numismatist November 1951, where "Mrs. C. Elizabeth Osmun" was given a 25-year ANA Membership Award Medal.

A further search led to the January 1976 Numismatist where we learn that her father was author and paper money specialist David C. Wismer (which could explain the "W" in her name).

"Thanks to the generosity of Dorothy C. Gershenson, we have Mr. Wismer's fifty-year gold membership medal as well as the twenty-five year membership medal of his daughter, Mrs. C. E. Osmun. These two valuable items are being added to your ANA archives."

In the March 1965 Numismatist, Elizabeth Osmun was working with a committee of the Society of Paper Money Collectors to revise her father's banknote lists.
