We offer this postpaid and net to all; The Streeter catalogue, Complete @$275.00

Streeter, Thomas W.: [Parke Bernet Galleries, Inc.]: The Celebrated Collection of Americana Formed By The Late Thomas Winthrop Streeter. New York: 1966-1971.  Seven volumes plus index volume. Numerous illustrations, Original gilt-stamped blue boards except index volume, which is bound in gilt blue cloth. 

A very good set of the catalogues produced for this landmark sale: Spines are very lightly faded. Volume two has a bit of wear at the spine top. This set bears the bookplate; "Ex K. E. H. Libris" in each volume and a stamp; "Property of the Book Dept. Parke Bernet Galleries" in one volume. That volume has some notations as to prices of the lots and which individual won the lot.

"A basic requirement for a reference library on the subject. Thomas W. Streeter's collection was a high-water mark in the field of Americana, and this catalogue stands as a worthy monument to his achievement - it is also extremely useful, and essential as a reference work, including listings of 4,421 lots, most with detailed collations". William Reese.
