All in the original printed card covers. The ESR sale with printed lists of estimate and prices realized laid in, part two of the Gibbs sale with printed list of estimates and correspondence from Leo Mildenberg to the collector Samuel A. Tatnall regarding his bids for the sale, subsequent purchases and some confusion over payment of the invoice.

Fine condition, the boxes a little worn with some damage, the morocco labels chipped with some loss, the catalogues mostly clean with light wear, the ESR catalogue torn at the top of the spine with some loss, contents clean throughout. An attractive group of infrequently offered catalogues, including the collection of bracteates formed by Richard Gaettens, the Gibbs collection of Talers and the ESR sale of Roman coins, the collection of Erich von Schulthess-Reichberg, and not Edward Stanley Robinson which it is often mistaken for.
