> Hello List,
>
> When I was first contacted by Mrs. King about selling her late husband's
> meteorite collection, she told me that she hoped the specimens in his
> collection would go to people and institutions that really cared about
> them. During the past few months, as we have traded and sold most of Dr.
> King's magnificent collection, I have come to believe that we have done
> well in carrying our Mrs. King's wish. We have placed several of Dr.
King's
> meteorites with major museum collections, and many within respected
private
> collections.
>
> Now, as we near the end of the King Collection sales, I would like to once
> again extend my thanks to everyone who has helped to make the sale so
> successful, either as a bidder, or just by visitng our web site to look at
> photographs of the collection.
>
> We have saved a few very interesting pieces for the end, and have also
> acquired a few new specimens, some as a result of a King Collection/T.C.U.
> trade. So, I'm pleased to announce that the King Collection Sale #12
(which
> will likely be our next to last offering) will take place this coming
> Saturday October 2, at 12 Noon, EDT.
>
> Among the items to be presented are: Tishomingo (IRANOM); Udei Station (IA
> with silicate inclusions); Sahara 85001 (an early Sahara find, and a
> mesosiderite); a small piece of the Estherville mesosiderite (I had five
> large slices, all of which were sold at the Denver show); an excellent
> Kapoeta fragment and thin section; a thin section of the very rare
Bholghatti
> AHOW; a fragment of the Montferre, France specimen,and a small fragment of
> the historic 1807 Weston, Connecticut witnessed fall. This is one of the
most
> famous falls in
> meteorite history. It is generally regarded as the first scientifically
> recorded fall in America, and the one about which Thomas Jefferson is
> reported to have made his infamous statement: "I would more easily believe
> that two Yankee professors would lie than that stones would fall from
> heaven."
>
> We expect to have photographs of these offerings available within the next
> day or two. There will be several specimens offered so please visit my web
> site for more information about the items in this King sale:

> We will also be placing a number of affordable specimens from the King
> Collection on Ebay in the near future, and I will post to the List again
at
