“Indian Ornaments made by Philadelphia Silversmiths”

By Harrold E. Gillingham. Published in New York by the Museum of the  
American Indian, Heye Foundation, in 1936. Edition limited to 100  
copies.

A continuation of Gillingham's study of silver ornaments produced by  
Philadelphia silversmiths and sold to Indian traders. Gillingham first  
published on this topic in 1926 and 1934, and this study is based on  
records and manuscript material which came to his attention after his  
1934 periodical publication. This includes copies of many itemized  
invoices and bills from a number of early silversmiths. The American  
Numismatic Society, which holds Gillingham's papers, notes- "Harrold  
Edgar Gillingham (1864-1954) of Germantown, Pennsylvania, was a  
transportation executive, collector of American antiques, and a  
numismatist scholar noted for publishing a series of monographs on  
medals of merit and decorations of honor. He was born in Hainsport,  
New Jersey, and attended Lauderbach Academy and Germantown Academy. He  
became an associate member of the American Numismatic Society in 1916,  
a life fellow and council member in 1918, and treasurer from 1924 to  
1938. In 1931 he was awarded a Huntington Medal in recognition of his  
outstanding contributions to numismatic scholarship. Gillingham also  
served as vice president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and  
president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Historical Societies,  
writing articles on topics such as Philadelphia silversmiths, ship  
building, and early fire defenses of Philadelphia and New York City".

Hardcover. 6.5"x10", 26 pages plus 4 black & white illustrations on 2  
plates. Small spot and a smudge on the cover, Gillingham's name  
written on the spine, but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight  
binding.  $250
