We are very pleased to be able to offer the following
18th Century lots, which have come from an old collec9
tion formed over twenty five years ago. Market prices
for these pieces are more favorable now, and the lots
below have not been offered in a long time, thus fresh
examples on the market. There are several splendid lots
which deserve attention, and many others which have
become scarce by this time, though the prices for them
have not expressed that rarity factor. This is a wonder9
ful opportunity to interest a young collector in the many
wonders of the material, from the formation of the
nation, to the history waiting to be explored, and the
political implications as well. Such a hobby formed now
would provide a lifetime of learning, exploration, and
discovery of what America is all about, because of how
it began and how the original rules were formed. There
are several dealers in this material whose interest was
formed at that early stage, and who have grown with
the years in knowledge, understanding, and wisdom,
and have enjoyed the experience as well. Please have a
careful look at this excellent offering.
