Hi Darren and All,
I believe that what one considers a ‘rare type’ goes well beyond the total

Hello Darren and list,
Peekskill, an ordinary H6 was about 10$/g when it fell. Some complaint about
the high price at the
time.
Peekskill sells easily for 100$/g today, that's the market, no mat

Hello Michael, Darren, Michael, Martin and list,
I would like to first note, that Michael Blood is correct in that Michael
Cottinghams does not say, you are getting a piece of the Park Forest
meteorite that hit the Winslow house. Only that the siding piece is from
the Winslow House. You could

Hi Martin,

Michael,
I believe Farmer was the first to offer pieces of the Winslow St impact
with fragments of the house siding. Knowing you collect hammer stones,
I would put it this way: the Winslow St stone is not a hammerstone like
the Garza or Jones stones. It did not directly hit the house, but

Hi Jeff,
The last paragraph sounds very much like it did NOT hit a house.
My original question addresses Michael Cottingham's
