[QUOTE="larssten, post: 25284242, member: 78319"]Hello! I am doing provenance research on a very rare Vitellius aureus with his father on the reverse pictured below. [ATTACH]1614489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1614490[/ATTACH] I have made it to Jacques Schulman (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Auction March 5th 1923 lot 982 (M.L. Vierordt Collection) which refers to a Weber collection, but I am at a dead-end after following 2 different Weber collections (See below). [ATTACH=full]1614491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1614492[/ATTACH] In the lot description it is supposedly from the Weber Collection where I have identified two alternative paths: [B]Alternative 1: Hermann David Weber[/B] A German physicial pracicing medicine in England. [URL]https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_David_Weber[/URL] Most famous for his Greek collection (Spink 1922): [URL]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dannyjones/Greek%20Coin%20Books/Weber%20Collection%20of%20Greek%20Coins%20-%20Vol%20I.pdf[/URL] But this book also states that he sold his Roman coins in a June 29-30th 1893 by Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge.[B] I found the 1893 catalogue, but the two Vitellius aureii in this catalogue (lot 139 and 140) does not match.[/B] [B]Alternative 2: Eduard Friedrich Weber (Hamburg)[/B] Sold his Roman coin collection through Dr. Jacob Hirsch: - Auction 21 - Nov. 16th 1908 (Greek Coins) - Auction 24 - May 10th 1909 (Roman coins - lot 1145 a [B]similar Vitellius aureus does not match)[/B] Thus, I am at a dead-end at the moment. Questions: - Does the 1923 reference in Schulman refer to another Weber than the two above? - Did the two mentioned Weber's above sell their Roman coins elsewhere? Very grateful for any help! Thanks![/QUOTE]
