Woodward, W. Elliot [catalogued by William H. Strobridge]. CATALOGUE OF A VALUABLE COLLECTION OF AMERICAN COINS & MEDALS, THE PROPERTY OF CHARLES CLAY, M.D., OF MANCHESTER, ENGLAND. New York: Leavitt, December 5-7, 1871. 8vo, original printed paper covers. 97, (1) pages; 1356 lots. Hand-priced in ink. Printed on thick paper. Signed by Allison W. Jackman on the front cover. Weak spine; very good. [with] Woodward, W. Elliot [catalogued by William H. Strobridge]. CATALOGUE OF COINS, MEDALS AND TOKENS ... BRIC-A-BRAC ... INDIAN ANTIQUITIES ... A LARGE AND VALUABLE COLLECTION OF PRESSED FLOWERS AND PLANTS.... New York: Leavitt, February 23-26, 1874. 8vo, original printed paper covers. 85, (3) pages; 1852 lots. Hand-priced in ink. Front cover worn; very good. Adams C and 18, the first also being listed as Sale 9 under Strobridge. The Clay sale is significant. Clay was a Manchester numismatist mostly remembered today for this sale and for his work on the coinage of the Isle of Man. The sale receives Adams's highest rating (A+ overall, A in large cents, colonials, Washingtonia, comments and British). Attinelli 62, where he implies that Strobridge, though credited on the title as the cataloguer, may have played a lesser role: "Messrs. W.E. Woodward and W.H. Strobridge also contributed slightly to the above sale." The presence of very obvious counterfeits in the sale (including two NE "pennies") makes one wonder about the level of involvement by Woodward (Strobridge specifically mentions them in his introduction). Davis 1025. Woodward's 18th sale was also catalogued by Strobridge and features very important colonials, Clay's Isle of Man collection (again), important Washingtonia and excellent special-edition Woodward catalogues. Adams rated A in colonials, literature and British, and B+ overall. Attinelli 68. Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
Estimate: 100 USD
