Sotheby & Co.: Col. John and Major A. B. Murray, War Medals and Decorations, May 1926, modern half-leather, un-priced, in good order
The sale is famous for the collections of Volunteer, Militia and Yeomanry medals – many which are now believed to have been made by or for the brothers.
The remnants of a working library. The majority of the books in these lots have been used to a greater or lesser extent. Some have dust-jackets, some don't; many have company labels showing their origin; several have notes or cuttings 'tucked in'. They have been catalogued into groups by the subject they cover rather than a strictly alphabetical order. And, as with all libraries, there are a few gems, a few association items and a multitude of useful references.
(Estimate: 40-60 GBP)
