  Good buys. I have a weakness for Mehl memorabilia, and such items have gotten notably harder to find during the last 5 years or so.

  Very cool! I have a check like that one, along with a registered mail envelope. I always wanted to get them framed together.

  I believe the Mehl building is still in use, although it has changed. There have been several write-ups about it over the years.

  1933?

  Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
  
  
  
  A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
  
  
  
  A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

  I recently missed out on this token and flier set but thought it was worth sharing, especially with @MarkFeld.

  This is the only time I've seen the card for the token so far.

  Here's the other Benjamin Maximillian Mehl thread: https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/832121/a-piece-of-history-from-b-max-mehl-numismatic-pioneer

  Wow, that looks just like my son's freshman dorm room in Hollis Hall when he was at Harvard, fireplace and all.

  (FWIW the incoming students are handed a paper listing former occupants of their dorm rooms. One of the prior students who had occupied my son's room was Henry David Thoreau. Inspired by same we shared with our son a hike around Walden's Pond before classes started.)

  Perhaps this should be combined with the other Max Mehl concurrently resurrected thread.

  I did not go to Harvard or Walden Pond, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

  I didn't go to Harvard, or visit Walden Pond. Or even stay at the Holiday Inn recently. But I did watch the film...Theresa May's favorite holiday movie.

  1) B. Max Mehl, Fort Worth TEXAN
  2) Texas Commemorative
  3) Nephew or Great Nephew(?) lives in Dallas and is a great numismatist in he's own right, MFELD ( whose helped me with some of my best coins). Only thing missing is a degree from University of Texas; Hook em' Horns

  I think it would be great for Mark to make a numismatist token exactly like Max's but with his name on it!

  I'd be one of if not the first to buy one. Ive had the pleasure of talking with him several times (for advice) and he's the most ethical and honest person I've ever met.

  And he was always most generous with offering advice here on this forum as well. I am always impressed with how many knowledgeable posters on this forum go out of their way to help respond to questions.

  Nice! At Random Hall down the street we had a few pictures of the hookers who used to reside there. (Oldest building owned by the 'Tute.)

  That’s really an interesting item. I’ve seen a few (very few) come and go on eBay.

  Thanks for sharing.
