Hi Dennis and those interested, I have a specimen of Alamogordo that came with a Ward's label and also a Nininger number, so your Ward's Gladstone specimen certainly could also have a Nininger number. During the 1930s, Nininger sold quite a few specimens to Ward's. Nininger's 1950 catalog only lists the specimens that he had at that time. Any specimens sold before then were not included.
Good score, Frank ________________________________ From: Dennis Miller <astror...@hotmail.com> To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sat, July 7, 2012 10:46:38 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Gladstone Question Hello, List! Several weeks ago, I acquired a Gladstone meteorite for my collection. It came with an old Ward's Natural Science label. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there was a partially rubbed out white marking on one side. I can make out a 31--- with the remainder unidentifiable. It sure looks like a Nininger marking. I have a reprint of Nininger's 1950 catalog which lists only two Gladstone's. I have been unable to find if Harvey had and labeled this specimen, in his collection or if Ward's used the same nomenclature and marking style. If someone has a newer catalog of Harvey's collection, that might list this 110.6 gm Gladstone or know if someone knows of another source of researching this, let me know. Thanks a bunch!
