DAVID FANNING REQUESTS RESEARCH ASSISTANCE

I am in the concluding phase of a book-length research project and am trying to wrap up some loose ends. I need photographs of the following individuals, and would be grateful if anyone knew where I could find one:

• Fred Michael (Chicago coin dealer of the 1910s)
• Edward Michael (his brother and business partner)
• James Macallister
• John W. Scott
• Harlan Page Smith

In the case of Scott, low-resolution photos abound online, but I need a high-resolution image that can be printed. Macallister appears in a couple of ANA convention photos from the 1930s, but I need a clearer portrait of the man. I do not recall ever seeing a photo of either of the Michael brothers or of H.P. Smith.

In addition, I need prices realized for a few lots in the Morgenthau sales of January 12-13, 1934 (Furst) and November 26, 1934 (Burrage), and I would love to talk to anyone who has a copy of the November 16, 1938 Morgenthau sale that was annotated at the sale (to check against what seems to be an error in the printed prices realized list).

Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated and properly acknowledged in the book. I can be reached at df@numislit.com. Thanks!
