Dear list,

I'm looking to develop my sub-collection of Holbrook stones from historic sources. The rule is simple: the stone must have a painted number or original label or both, from a museum or from an early 20th century private collection.

I already have some from AMNH, Smithsonian, Berger, Krantz and others.

Since many meteorites were deaccessioned recently from the University of New Mexico, I thought that there might be some Holbrook from there available. I'm also actively looking for Holbrook stones with Nininger, Huss and Monnig numbers/labels

Please contact me if you have anything for sale or trade ( http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/tradelist.html )

Thank you and a Happy New Year to all,

Arnaud

PS: Note my latest post on natural history specimens in antique vials on the TC website, Figure 3 shows some nice meteorites
