Hi Dennis and those interested,

I have a specimen of Alamogordo that came with a Ward's label and also a
Nininger number, so your Ward's Gladstone specimen certainly could also have a
Nininger number.? During the 1930s, Nininger sold quite a few specimens to
Ward's.? Nininger's 1950 catalog only lists the specimens that he had at that
time.? Any specimens sold before then were not included.

Good score,

Frank

Hello, List!? Several weeks ago, I acquired a Gladstone meteorite for my
collection.?


It came with an old Ward's Natural Science label. Upon closer inspection, I
noticed

that there was a partially rubbed out white marking on one side.? I can make out

a 31--- with the remainder unidentifiable.? It sure looks like a Nininger
marking.

I have a reprint of Nininger's 1950 catalog which lists only two Gladstone's.? I



have been unable to find if Harvey had and labeled this specimen, in his
collection

or if Ward's used the same nomenclature and marking style. If someone has a
newer

catalog of Harvey's collection, that might list this 110.6 gm Gladstone or know
if

someone knows of another source of researching this, let me know.

Thanks a bunch!
