Today's auction catalogs look like magazines in full color. I love them, but I also like these simpler ones. The auction took place on March 9, 1950 due to the death of Edwin M. Berolzheier in 1949. At this point the collection was owned by Mrs. Edwin M. Berol. The catlaog measures 6-1/4" x 9-1/2" with 48 pages and 267 objects including the itemz mentioned.but also Persian and other antique textiles, pottery and bronzes.There are descriptions for each and within them are black and white photogrpahs.

The new ones are also oversized -- this one measures 8-1/4" x 10-1/2" and has gorgeous white coated paper and big color photos of the items. The auction offered European furniture, sculpture, ceramics, tapestries and carpets worth millions of dollars. The book is pristine inside and out and showcases 438 lots. View More...
Very handsome auction catalog with no names or writing, no spine crease, and no dog-ears. Very clean and tightly bound. It measures 8-1/4" x 10-1/2" and is lavishly illustrated with black and white photographs. The main feature is the Leicas, but the other cameras are also interesting -- top names like Rolex, Canon, Nikon and and others plus some you may not have heard of. But if you're a Leica fan the catalog is a must-have research tool. View More...
