After reading thru this thread the one comment that struck me most was Cardinal's remark, "I think it can be difficult for us collectors in the 21st century to truly understand the collecting mind set of the 1930's."
A collectors mindset. Yes. Hell, for that matter the mindset of anyone alive during the time of the great depression. Worlds away from where and who we are now.

Was in the family who auctioned it for 45 years. Not bad.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
