Watch List notes:

Mehl, B. Max. MEHL'S COIN CIRCULAR. Nos. 1–6, 9–10 and 12–15, lacking only three issues for completion. Fort Worth, 1921–1933. 24mo [15 by 11 cm], most issues self-covered as issued; those numbers published with separate covers have them. First two issues rather worn, taped, etc.; rest very good or better, with original owner's signature on most. Perhaps best epitomized by Mehl's proemium: "This little publication is not a 'labor of love,' nor it is issued to fill a 'long felt want.' It is an out and out little house organ for a big business. It will list all special offers, new items of interest in connection with my business and bits of interesting numismatic news. I intend to issue it every month, but am making no definite promises. And as there will be no charge for it, I feel that if it is a few days or a month late, I won't owe you anything. And since it won't cost you anything, you are sure of getting your money's worth."
