"Although most of the collection of the Time Museum (really the collection of Seth G. Atwood of Rockford, Illinois), some pieces were de-accessioned for this sale and a few others that followed in the early 2000s. Included in this sale were the Henry Graves Supercomplication, and several astrolabes. The scholarship and illustrations in this catalogues are superb and breathtaking." Lists 1,153 items, all described in detail and beautifully photographed, which together narrate the story of timekeeping using original objects. The results lists are included. The thread stitching of parts 1 and 2 is loose, some pages show occasional minor pencil notes. Despite those signs of wear, this is a well-preserved copy of the complete, comprehensive auction catalogue.- Bitte beachten Sie, daß wir für den Versand außerhalb der Europäischen Union aufgrund des hohen Gewichts für diesen Titel deutlich höhere Versandkosten berechnen müssen.
