Cal Wilson Sales, Complete
Wilson, Cal. MAIL BID AND PUBLIC AUCTION SALES. Fremont, 1981–1988. Eighteen catalogues, complete. 4to and 8vo, original printed paper or card covers. All include printed prices realized lists except for No. 18 (for which one was not issued). Housed in sleeves in two three-ring binders. Generally fine. A well-preserved complete set of this interesting series of catalogues. The penultimate sale, the notable "Hofmann Library," essentially metamorphosed from mail bid to public auction. Several collectors and dealers who viewed lots on the sale day, some of whom carried commissions, were given the opportunity as evening approached to compete with each other to place winning bids.
