Infrequently Seen Publication
Bartlett, J.D. [publisher]. THE CURIOSITY COLLECTOR. Volume I, Nos. 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 (South Amboy, New Jersey, February-October 1889). 8vo, self-covered. Somewhat browned; sample stamps on some issues; Very good or better. Bourne 1880-119. Rarely encountered, the seven issues here present are the only ones for which Remy Bourne was able to provide information in his book. Crawford records the existence of a second volume of twelve issues and a third volume of four, but those would appear to have been purely philatelic in nature (that subject dominates in this first volume, but it not its exclusive focus). Crawford 523. Ex M. Bourne Library.
(Estimate: $100)
