Quiz: Whose Library is This?
Pete Smith writes:
"Can any E-Sylum reader identify this library? Hint #1: The owner of the house was a numismatic author. Hint #2: The photo was taken in 1930. Hint #3 The current house owner is more famous than the man who built the house."
Interesting. Looks cozy. Guesses anyone? -Editor
Query: Disappearance of Jack D. Hazelwood
Dave Bowers writes:
"A major mystery—or was it a scandal?—arose in autumn 1969 when Jack D. Hazelwood, age 32, who had operated a coin business in Wichita, Kansas since 1957, disappeared, leaving his wife and four children behind. Immediately prior to this he
had received on approval many rare coins from various dealers, ostensibly to show to a wealthy client. A vault was opened and found to contain many coins, a discovery that added to the mystery as there was no indication why these had not disappeared
as well. I can find no record of resolution of the situation."
Dave is working on a Whitman book describing American numismatics from 1932 to date. Contact him directly with any relevant information. He can be reached at qdbarchive@metrocast.net . Thanks.
