Hi all,

My move away from collecting meteorites based on either geography or history and
towards type collecting means I'm considering selling the following historic
falls, along with a few more recent finds:

Wold Cottage, fell December 1795 in Yorkshire, England, 3.435g partslice. $700
(this is approximately $200/gram, the piece originates from Rob Elliott and has
NHM London provenance. Rob's asking price several years ago was $250/g. Such
historical pieces have only increased in value in recent years, so I firmly
believe this is a good deal for somebody)

NWA 869, 694g individual. Very rarely seen in these sizes any more, would be
ideal for slicing. $500

Ensisheim, fell in 1492 in Alsace, France. 1.00g partslice. $300

Barwell, Fell December 1965 in Leicestershire, England. 1.448g fragment with
crystalline inclusion, see the crystal at
http://www.bimsociety.org/miotm/1001.jpg . $140

Carancas, fell September 2007 in Peru. 1.25g fragment with black slickenside on
one face. Not often seen in sizes >1g any more, one of the pieces brought back
by Moritz Karl. $125

Strathmore, fell 1917 in Perthshire, Scotland. Approximately 0.5g consisting of
~10 fragments from 1-3mm and numerous smaller fragments/dust. $100

Chergach, fell July 2007 in Mali. 17.1g individual. $85

Capot Rey, found 2004 in Niger. 15.3g individual. $65

Photo's are available on request. Please mail off-list if you are interested in
any of the specimens.

Regards,
