<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael Stolt, post: 3946079, member: 100445&quot;]While looking into some possible provenance for [USER=74282]@red_spork[/USER]&nbsp; , I stumbled upon a coin that looked very familiar in a 1925 Leo Hamburger catalogue. And finally put an end to my search of where Virgil Brand purchased the half litra in my collection. I managed to find it in Brand&#039;s ledgers as well which I underlined in red in one of the images.</p><p><br /></p><p>This gives it an even more fantastic provenance (I purchased it without any known provenance at the time) that is now as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage Auctions, Weekly auction (29 May 2019), Ex Goodman collection, Triton I (2 December 1997), lot 842; Ex Virgil Brand (1862-1926) collection, Part VII (Sotheby&#039;s , 25 October 1984, lot 478 (part of). Ex Leo Hamburger (19 October 1925), lot 221.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Photo in the catalogue + my photo:</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent.fbma1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/79452856_10157095726481596_5915390321419616256_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&amp;_nc_ohc=f3Zosh9Ndk4AQlNgUxM1mTWgplH1FycwSx0b7FIPSCbUVF92hTCDBTVuA&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fbma1-1.fna&amp;oh=6e35a4e6a53e338a1590804ff39bdb5b&amp;oe=5E65B7AC" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Virgil Brand&#039;s ledger:</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent.fbma1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/79437911_10157095725296596_532488628018872320_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&amp;_nc_ohc=mGCShATSp0EAQkEqmy8gMkMmZPsu7P0tGCLXu5IyLF2NZIxCIVqhcqEkg&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fbma1-1.fna&amp;oh=cbf59fdfedaf23ea8cd9d1f609e73b5b&amp;oe=5EAA929B" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Catalogue Cover:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><img src="https://scontent.fbma1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/80684476_10157095728421596_9170053866165633024_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&amp;_nc_ohc=IVnViWn4b9cAQlaAbYypNxox0nSD2IIx8547zbrS34K0Dl81UEBvX8Vrg&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fbma1-1.fna&amp;oh=7495af172053a65c024b7572ae37b5ae&amp;oe=5EB43ABD" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
