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,

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.
