More on the Frank Dupee Coin Shop
Regarding our earlier discussion of a postcard picturing dealer Frank Dupee's coin shop, Robert Esposito writes:
The postcard or photo, is of 266 George St, New Haven CT, approximately 1964/1965, just before the Knights of Columbus building was to be erected
on that site. The car, to the left of Frank Dupee's coin dealership in New Haven is most likely Luis Lassen's 1956 Chevrolet, parked next to
his business everyday, where we stopped every once in a while with my dad, after stopping at Frank Dupees, where I purchased pennies for my little
collection as a young boy, & those, were GREAT days !
"Loui's Lunch"...famous cheese burgers, relocated to Crown St when the Knights of Columbus building was being built, where it still
remains today.
The car is seen at the far left of the photo, with just part of its front grille visible. Thanks. This has been an interesting topic. It's fun
to see how the facts accumulate as more readers chime in. -Editor

Gimbels Coin Department Ephemera
Dave Lange writes:
This is just a quick note to transmit images of a recent purchase. I've long wanted an original letter composed and signed by Robert
Friedberg, and I bought one on eBay with a Gimbel's catalog. The two were sent to a customer in 1948, along with a less interesting pamphlet
titled Short History of Numismatics.
Friedberg ran coin departments for the Gimbels department store chain. Thanks for sharing! As always, readers can click on an image to get to
higher-resolution versions. -Editor

Books on Lindbergh's Medals
Scott Miller writes:
Regarding the exhibition of Lindbergh's medals, the Missouri Historical Society has issued a number of books on the subject. The two that I have
are Decorations and Trophies Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh (full title - Illustrations of Colonel Lindbergh's Decorations and Some of His
Trophies Received Within the Year Following His Trans-Atlantic Flight of May 20-21, 1927 compiled by Nettie H. Beauregard and The Lindbergh
Collection by John H. Lindenbusch, 1977.
Thank you. Harry Waterson did provide me with information on one of these references, but I wasn't able to include it in last week's
issue. -Editor
