It is my pleasure and honor to announce the auction will feature An entry by Blaine Reed - you know, the guy who first brought the Claxton mail box to the Tucson Show which later sold for $84K, the guy Who sold Nininger's personal compass he used to track bolides... Ya, that Blaine Reed....
He may have outdone himself with this one: The FIRST Monnig collection specimen (confirmed by long time Connig collection curator, the highly regarded, Art Ehlmann of TCU). Lot number 88 BR 1 can be seen at: http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/AuctionTucson11.html AND also has its own PAGE link - at: http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/MonnigFirst.html I doubt it will bring $84K, but any meteorite history enthusiast will certainly regard this specimen's historical significance as the Mount Everest of collecting. Thanks, Michael PS: I know my frequent posts recently are beyond the weekly guidelines. I very rarely advertize on the list but many items - this one in particular, Will be of interest to readers whether or not they can afford to bid on such a spectacularly significant piece. Just being able to SEE such a piece of meteorite history is a treat in itself (at least it is for me). Everyone's patience in this regard is much appreciated. ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
