TUTTLE, GEORGE R (NEW YORK): 1897 catalogues for his Fourth to Eighth sales of 840, 459, 918, 504 & 440 lots respectively, fascinating early documents that yield such gems as "Each lot is sold for so much per piece...", "My terms for Auction Sales will be 15 per cent", and "...I act as Buying Agent...at all the Stamp Auctions in New York City...for...10 per cent commission on sums purchased..." Tuttle was also Superintendent of Purchasing & Sales Department of the American Philatelic Association. Also 1897-99 CL Moreau catalogues for his 13th 14th 17th & 23rd auctions, on similar terms as Tuttle. Rare early auction ephemera.
