Just a heads-up: long-lost listee and warm-beer-drinker Rob Elliott wanted list members to know that his extensive collection will be on the auction block in about two weeks. Details below.
Gregory ____________________________________________________________________________ ______ The Robert Elliott Meteorite Collection will be auctioned on 18th August and hosted by Scotland's oldest firm of auctioneers, Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh. Time allows for 170 Lots, containing some familiar and some not-so-familiar meteorite specimens, all acquired by myself during my travels to museums around the world, and from many researchers & scientists directly. My meteorite collecting passion was mostly for the so-called "historical" meteorites, so feel free to take a look through the sales catalogue, either hard copy or online, and see what takes your fancy. Or just enjoy the pictures! I know that several of you are jumping on a plane and coming to Edinburgh to bid in the saleroom, but for those that cannot attend the auction in person, it's still possible to bid live and in real-time (see links below). Bids may also be placed in advance on the website, or by telephone and in writing. If you're planning to bid over the internet, be sure to register first. Here are the direct links to the sales catalogue (Sale no: 262), the live bidding site, and for those that need it, packing and shipping assistance. Auction Hosts - Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh.
