Vinchon, Jean, et al. AUCTION CATALOGUES. One hundred fourteen catalogues, comprising most sales held by the firm (at times in conjunction with others) in Paris and elsewhere between 1955 and 2015. Lot also includes nine fixed price catalogues, being Nos. 7-9, 11-12, and 15-18, issued between 1953 and 1987. Varying formats, all in the original card covers or bound as issued. Generally fine, mostly with prices realized lists. A remarkable assemblage of Vinchon catalogues, by far the largest we have offered, and including nearly all of their coin sales. Many of the most important catalogues were issued in hardcover format, including the April 1974 sale of the Peyrefitte collection, in the formation of which Vinchon was intimately involved. The auction catalogues include those listed by Spring as his Nos. 875-876, 878-882 and 884, as well as the joint sales held with Pio Ciani, listed as Spring 122 and 123. The early fixed price catalogues are almost never seen. A real opportunity.
