The Complete Thomas Thomas Sales, Priced & Named
Sotheby & Co., S. Leigh. CATALOGUE OF THE FIRST PORTION OF THE VERY EXTENSIVE AND TRULY VALUABLE COLLECTION OF COINS AND MEDALS, FORMED DURING THE LAST FIFTY YEARS BY THE LATE THOMAS THOMAS, ESQ., EMBRACING HIS VERY CHOICE CABINET OF THE ENGLISH SERIES. London, 23 February–4 March (1844). 78 pages; 1064 lots. [bound with] CATALOGUE OF THE FIRST PORTION OF GREEK, ROMAN, AND FOREIGN MEDIEVAL COINS AND MEDALS, COLLECTED DURING THE LAST FIFTY YEARS BY THE LATE THOMAS THOMAS, ESQ. London, 8–20 July (1844). xxii, 195, (1) pages; 1476 lots. [bound with] CATALOGUE OF THE SECOND PORTION OF GREEK, ROMAN, AND FOREIGN MEDIEVAL COINS AND MEDALS, FORMING THE THIRD AND LAST PART OF THE TRULY VALUABLE CABINET FORMED DURING THE LAST FIFTY YEARS BY THE LATE THOMAS THOMAS, ESQ. London, 29 July–12 August (1844). (2), (197)–430, (2) pages; lots 1477–3115. Three parts complete, bound in one volume. Ruled throughout and hand-priced with buyers' names. 8vo, later green cloth, gilt; top page edges gilt. Near fine. An enormous and important collection, among the most important of the decade (and the 1840s saw a number of fine cabinets cross the British auction block). Catalogued by William Till, Thomas Burgon, J.L.E. Curt and others. Manville and Robertson pages 85–86. About the tautonymic consignor, Manville's Biographical Dictionary has little to say beyond that he was a grocer and tea merchant who at times participated in coin sales under the name of "Hamilton." These three sales constitute his entire coin collection, with his library having been sold the year before. Ex Charles Pole Stuart Library, with his armorial bookplate retained on the later binding.
