Which Ponterio Auctions Contained Davenport Talers?
Hello,
I've had a catalog for Ponterio Sale #120 on my want list for a long, long time. I never found it because I never really looked. I wanted this particular sale catalog because, from what I understood, this was the sale of John S. Davenport's collection of Crowns and Talers. In case you don't recognize the name, he's the guy who wrote the whole indispensible set of reference books on these coins. For example "European Crowns and Talers" and many variations. Very recently I found a catalog for Sale #119 and purchased it. It states on the front that it contains "Selections from" the famous collection of interest. This made me look harder, and I just today received catalogs for sales 120-125 from 2 different sources. All but one mentioned containing Davenport coins on the cover. Does anyone know if there were other sales that contained parts of his collection? I'd chase as many as there are, I just can't find a definitive list. Ponterio apparently was swallowed up by Stacks/Bowers. So, searching for references via google yields thousands of hits, as Stacks mentioned selling the Davenport collection in their base bio. This means every single thing published by them now contains the keywords I need. I did, however, find my 2 sources for the catalogs I do have this way. Does anyone have experiece with these Ponterio sales and can tell me which ones had Davenport coins? Again, I've got #119-125. I suppose I could shoot for a short set of before and after this string, but hopefully someone can pinpoint the set for me. Stacks was nice enough to send me some info, but it wasn't enough. I asked if they had any of Ponterio's web material left, as the size is now gone and redirects to stacksbowers.com. They had very little. To bad. I've managed to find a couple of prices realized to go with my set. I believe I have 3-4 for the 7 sales I have. I'd be interested in copies of the missing PR's, again, if anyone has some of this material. Thanks in advance, Nick |

From my records of Ponterio auction catalog sales on eBay, Ponterio # 116, 117 and 118 do NOT have "Davenport" in the title, nor do Ponterio # 127 and 129.

Thanks, Ken. I'll narrow my search to 126 and 128, expecting them NOT to
have anything. I'm betting I've got all there is to get w/regards to Davenport, then.
