Does "The Leslie Heilbruner Collection" Ring Any Bells?

Broadstruck

It sold at auction on August 5th & 15th in 1989.

Can anyone help find out what auction house sold it and what the collection was composed of

Thanks in advance!

Sold by Charles Kirtley.

You must want Martin Gengerke's listing of American auction catalogs, downloadable from here. That's how I figured it out. It arranges catalogs by firm, by date (there were only two on Aug 5, 1989), and by known consignors.

Thank you Aegis3

As I was looking at a list of a research library sold by Stack's who had the name misspelled as it's actually Heilbroner.

I used to set up at a lot of shows years ago, and many times right next to Les. He was quite the early copper guy. Colonials, half and large cents.
Heck, I used to kid him that he could give you a Sheldon number from across the room.
If I remember correctly, he died on a plane coming home from a show. Quite a bit of copper knowledge went with him......

Les was well known around Western New York. His accumulation of copper type was legendary at the time of his active collecting/dealing. If you want to obtain personal anecdotes about him, I can point you in the right direction.
