[Rarebooks] FS: American Colonial Silver Hammerslough Collection -Limited Edition

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“American Silver Collected by Philip H. Hammerslough. Volume IV”

By Philip H. Hammerslough.
Privately Printed for the author in 1973.
Edition limited to 350 copies.

One of a series of catalogs of one of the finest and most famous private 
American silver collections. Four catalogs were published over a 15-year 
span, each apparently the final one, except that Philip Hammerslough 
went out and just kept buying more great pieces of silver. Philip 
Hammerslough, a tobacco magnate, had learned his lessons from two of the 
foremost silver authorities of his or any other time- John Marshall 
Phillips of Yale and Kathryn Buhler of Boston. His collection was 
permanently loaned to the Wadsworth Atheneum even as he assembled it, 
and among those who helped were Marvin Schwartz and Dean A. and Martha 
G. Fales.

Hardcover. 8"x10.5", 142 pages, color frontispiece and black & white 
illustrations. In fine, clean condition. $60
