Written in ink on two sides of Talbot Readyís personal notepaper folded to make four pages. Folded for mailing; near fine. In this letter to an employee of the Tiffany firm, Talbot Ready responds to a query by George Kunz on the availability of medals of Cellini in small sizes. George Frederick Kunz (1856-1932) was a mineralogist affiliated for many years with Tiffany & Company. His strong association with the arts in America made him a leading authority on the subject. Talbot Ready came from a family of restorers for the British Museum, and he himself worked there in that capacity until 1884, after which he became a coin dealer associated with the firm of Rollin & Feuardent. In this letter, he notes that ìI can find no medal of Cellini which is not much over the size desired by Mr. Kunz.î He uses the back of the note to append a list of seven Cellini medals he had at hand, giving their diameters in each case. ìYou will see by the measurements I append how much too large the medals are for his purpose.î.
