Hello Bill,

The "first" Huss Collection was built within the workings of American
Meteorite Laboratory as successor to the American Meteorite Museum
(Nininger).

The Second Huss Collection was the personal collection of Glenn and
Margaret. I believe it was acquired by NHMV sometime in the 1980's. In the
Second Huss Collection of Meteorites (1986), Glenn states that it was
started in 1958 and was financed by personal funds.

Since the AML was established in 1960, both collections ran in parallel for
a period of time.

Cheers!

Thanks Martin. Years ago I contacted Margaret Huss concerning the
disposition of Illinois meteorites from the Huss Collection. She refered me
to Ulrich Ott who then suggested I contact Dr. Jutta Zipfel. Dr. Zipfel was
so kind and helpful. She had an image made of the Toulon meteorite which is
in the MetBull.
 
I wasn't aware there were two Huss collections. I thought the "first" was
the remainder of Niningers. Can anyone be more specific?
 
Thanks again,
Bill
