On spine: Refisnyder Collection, 1929. 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, some of the buyers were the Detroit Museum, the Danforth Corporation, and bidders with the surnames Woods, Curran, Winthrop, Babcock, Raymond, Bissell, Sack, Ray, Mathew, and Philips. The fold-out is a family tree of the Fenimore Family. A real piece of history. I also have this catalogue bound in red cloth with a gilt title on spine. That copy has prices but no surnames, and some contemporary articles laid-in.
