#134: The Manuscript Society Auction: 2000+ historic dealer catalogs

Lot #0002: Lot 2. Autos & Autos. 26 items. The firm was owned and operated by the late B.C. West, Jr., Manuscript Society treasurer, trustee and noted dealer and collector. His name is well known for the 1976-1977 replevin case, The State of North Carolina vs. Dr. B.C. West, Jr., that he fought after the state seized documents from him. Less well known, perhaps, is the key role he played with the F.B.I. in apprehending a thief who stole an estimated $15,000,000 of manuscripts and artifacts from the Thomas Edison National Historic Site. West received the Conservation Service Award for his work on the case. Postmark dates for the catalogs range from 1975 to 1991
