БОСТОН: Т. Р. МАРВИН И СЫН, НУМИЗМАТИЧЕСКАЯ ТИПОГРАФИЯ. 1897.

Описанная на следующих страницах археологическая коллекция была собрана известным коллекционером, который ныне по личным причинам отказывается от приятного занятия, стольким годам посвятившего свои часы досуга. Каждый экземпляр в коллекции был отобран с осмотрительной разборчивостью с целью продемонстрировать лучшие образцы оружия и орудий, созданных и изготовленных доисторическим человеком той части Североамериканского континента, которая охватывается границами нынешних Соединенных Штатов. Подобные объекты представляют большой интерес и ценность для всех, кто увлекается этой ветвью археологии, а предоставляемая возможность пополнить свои кабинеты безупречными экземплярами по собственной цене представляется крайне редко.

Среди объектов, представляющих особый интерес, можно обнаружить вампумовый пояс договора; большое количество церемониальных трубок, включая некоторые чрезвычайно редкие формы; различные изделия из гематита, обсидиана, меди и т. д.; редкие идолы из Аризоны; храмовые вазы инков из чеканного серебра из некрополя Анконы и т. д. Иностранное оружие и оружие эпохи Войны за независимость в конце каталога будут признаны всеми интересующимися этой темой ценными экземплярами, заслуживающими того, чтобы фигурировать в лучших коллекциях.

Каждый предмет в этой коллекции будет продан с гарантией составителя каталога относительно его абсолютной подлинности и аутентичности как в отношении материала, так и в отношении атрибуции.

Заказы добросовестно исполняются аукционистами и торговцами произведениями искусства в целом.
