FS - Who's Who in Indian Relics, Vols 1 to 10, documents outstanding 
collections

$2000 USD for the lot of 10. Terms and shipping below.

Pictorial reference books primarily for the documentation of 
outstanding Native American artifact collections extant at the time 
of each volume's publishing. Each volume photographically documents 
approximately 75 to 125 collections. Each volume comprised largely of 
photo plates of Native American relics such as points, axes, and 
similar weapons and tools. To a lesser extent shows baskets, pottery, 
pipes, clothing, carvings, bird stones, etc.  Often shows the 
collector with the collection and every entry has name(s), address, 
and  brief biographical information. Other portrait photos of the 
collectors. In Volume 3, in a page devoted to Hubert C. Wachtel he 
states that many of the collectors in Volume 1 have passed on. It can 
be assumed that some of these collections have been disbursed and 
that these books are the only available documentation of those 
collections when intact.

Hardcover 4to.Textured burgundy on boards. Contents lists the 
collectors by name. Not indexed. All are stated to be "privately 
printed" and "First Edition." All have higher-quality photo 
reproduction than the scarce reprints of a few volumes. Glit title to 
spine and front cover, gilt illustration to front cover. No DJ, 
as-issued. All with the ownership blind stamp of Jack McKim Vorhies, 
noted numismatic author of books about obsolete bank notes. Except 
as-noted, all are internally and externally clean.

Individual volumes are uncommon and sets are absolutely scarce.
