Dark old collection toning with some shine on the high points, otherwise good very fine. From the collection of D. Bersi-Mangakis, originally acquired at Spink’s, May 1959, for £ 63. Ex Glendining’s 27 May 1959 (Lockett III) 1557; Hess (Lucerne) 15 Feb 1934 [Hoskier] 303; A.E. Cahn 66 (9 May 1930) 213 (the weight of 12.26 g. mentioned in the Cahn sale is obviously a misprint). Hoskier’s named collection was sold in J. Hirsch XX (13 November 1907) but apparently another portion of it sold anonymously in the above Hess sale.
