Hi all,

Thanks for all your replies but there doesnt seem to be much info out
there on Ernest Weidhaus or at least he is not a commonly know name
within the meteorite community. This is what i have so far:

He was a member of the New York Mineralogical Club and joined in 1919.
He collected minerals, meteorites and coins.
He sold his entire meteorite collection to Oscar Monnig in April 1939.

That is pretty much it. The reason i am trying to find out more is
that i have a specimen of Ensisheim from the Monnig collection that
originated from the Weidhaus collection (no Weidhaus label though) and
am just trying to possibly find out how Ernest Weidhaus came across a
specimen of Ensisheim and from where?

Anyone out there with any other info at all?

Cheers

Martin
