Strobridge, William H. AUCTION CATALOGUES. New York, 1862-78. Twelve auction catalogues. Present are Adams Nos. 1-3 (plus the 356-lot addenda to 3), 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 18-20 and 27. Also included is T.R. Strobridge’s sale of May 27, 1879. Varying 8vo formats, most in original printed wraps. Condition ranges from barely good to fine, with most being very good. A nice group, accounting for 12 of the 29 catalogues issued by this talented numismatist and one by his son (who briefly attempted to continue the business). Of the Strobridge series, Adams writes: “Beginning with the Lilliendahl sale of May 1862, there follows an absolutely superb series of auction catalogs. While relatively brief in number (twenty-nine), these are unsurpassed in quality of content; twelve -- more than 40% -- receive a rating of A or better and only the non-numismatic sales fall below a rating of B.”
