241	EP		20th Century valuable and rare proof and essay holding of many dozens of items, most are complete sets of die proofs or essays, much is from the 1930's and 1940's, including some that were purchased at the ABNC or Waterlow archive sales, many items are undoubtedly unique, includes some artist's drawings, master dies, incomplete essays, etc., several better topicals such as F.D. Roosevelt and Soccer, Mr. Mayer purchased many of these sets for well over $1,000.00 each (often several thousand dollars) and our estimate reflects only a tiny fraction of his cost, fine-very fine; a remarkable holding of rare items that will never be duplicated.
