Complete Set of Mayflower Auction Catalogues
Mayflower Coin Auctions. COMPLETE SET OF AUCTION CATALOGUES. Boston, 1956-1976. Gengerke Sale Numbers 1-30, complete. 8vo, all in the original printed card covers, illustrated. Very good to fine copies, more than ten with prices realized lists. Also included is a copy of the November 20-21, 1986 sale held under the Mayflower name, though under different ownership and not generally considered part of the series. A complete set of notable auction sales conducted by Maurice Gould and Manuel and Joseph Lipson. Some are rarely offered. The Mayflower catalogues comprise one of the most notable series of American auction sale catalogues not included in Adams. In the first catalogue, Gould writes: "With this sale we hope to revive a famous New England numismatic institution, namely the Parker House Coin Sales. At one time Boston was the undisputed leader in the numismatic field, and Parker House sales were held right up until recent years by Hesslein, and the venerable H.M. Grant of Providence, R.I." From early on, these notable catalogues often featured important United States large cents and sometimes key American colonial coins and U.S. and pioneer gold, along with a wide variety of other mostly American material. Key sales include 1957 New England Numismatic Association (key colonials); Emerson Gaylord (a fine collection of choice U.S. gold coins formed over the first two decades of the twentieth century); C.H. Stearns (a major oldtime collection of colonials and over 400 lots of large cents, many in choice condition); two Bradbury Thurlow/American Antiquarian Society sales; Donald Belcher; Southern Collection; Andrew Y. Hodgdon; etc. Ex P. Scott Rubin Library.
