Grey cloth, gilt letters on applied red leather label on spine, 275 pp., BW illus., one fold-out. On spine: Refisnyder Collection. Issued in conjunction with a sale of colonial furniture once owned by Philadelphian Howard Reifsynder. Said to be a landmark sale of collectibles, the "greatest American furniture sale ever held," that included tables, chairs, benches, sideboards, bookcases, chests, clocks, quilts, pewter pieces, and more. With an introduction by Leslie A. Hyam and Shirley Falcke. The annotated catalogue presents the 717 lot items, and some illustrations are included. The sale took in more than $600,000. According to margin notes here, which note all prices and some buyers, it was a whale of a sale. The fold-out is a family tree of the Fenimore Family. A real piece of history.
