    "Premium Catalog of Modern Foreign Coins"

    Published in 1948

    "Listing the prices paid for the modern coin issues of over
    125 foreign countries, states, and cities. The only premium
    catalogue of its kind published in the world."

    My grandmother Elsie was a coin collecter in the 1940's and 1950's.
    She managed to pull a 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent out of circulation.
    She did not collect "foreign" (non-US) coins, however she did have this 48-page catalog.

    Catalog cover:
    "Baker - Stamps - Coins"
    S. Kellogg Stryker, Sole Distributor
    Oradell, New Jersey

    S. Kellogg Stryker (1902-1989) was mainly known as a stamp expert and dealer.
    The catalog lists "Baker - Stamps - Coins".
    I do not know if "Baker" is the name of a coin dealer or another occupation.

    I scanned the 48 pages and put them on the Internet:
