Ensisheim, France Fell: 1492, November 7
0.048g polished slice
Notes: In 1492, a meteorite fell in a field near the city of Ensisheim. Only a young boy saw the fall
at a place called Les Octrois Laubourg, south of Ensisheim. When the inhabitants were informed
of this event, everyone wanted to keep a fragment of it, considering this as a divine sign.. Twenty
days later, King Maximilien of Austria, in conflict with the King of France Charles VIII, heard
about the stone. He used thus supernatural phenomenon like a divine sign announcing a forthcoming
victory of his armies and ordered that the meteorite was hung in the chorus of the church of Ensisheim.

0.088g fragment
Notes: The meteorite of Orgueil is the first carbonaceous chondrite discovered and its scientific
importance is considerable. Shortly after its discovery, a polemic was born because some scientists
believed to have detected traces of extraterrestrial fossil life in it. It was, of course, a hoax. They
had glued french granulates found in the marshes of the area.

Weston (H4) Connecticut, USA Fell: 1807, December 14

Notes: This is the first meteorite to fall in the United States. Although a 90+kg TKW is reported,
much of this stone was smashed to pieces by both humans and during the impact. In fact, the major
repository of this fall, the Yale Peabody Museum declares on their website that less than 23kg of
material is accounted for suspecting that, " Much of the rest undoubtedly gathered dust on numerous
19th century mantelpieces in western Connecticut before being thrown away."

*****************************************************************
ABSENTEE BIDS: One of the following are required to place an
absentee bid: Visa or Mastercard number and expiration date on file OR a pledge
to make immediate payment from a PayPal account with a current ballance sufficient
to cover all bids you wish to place. (Due to payment to sellers, mailed payment will
NOT be accepted). Fee for absentee bids is 7% standard buyer's premium, + 5% for
processing credit card or 6% for processing PayPal total (only if you win the bid,
of course). Postage and insurance is the responsibility of the buyer and will be at actual
cost.
Your maximum bid will NOT be placed, but rather bid up one increment at a time
in response to live bidding at the auction. In other words, you will get the item at the
lowest bid possible (similar to eBay). (On no minimum items, I generally start the
bidding at 1/3rd to 1/2 the price I estimate the selling price to be). This gives you
the same advantage as being there.
You may phone and leave your Visa or Mastercard number with expiration
date, your address and phone number (if they are not already on file with me) or
send them devided into at least 3 different emails. Be sure you receive an email
response from me confirming your bid(s), as Emails sometimes get "lost."
Please place all absentee bids by January 25th if possible.
*****************************************************************
People wishing to submit specimens for sale
should contact me as soon as possible. Items will only be accepted
which are deemed to hold appeal to the collecting community
and which have modest reserves/minimums or no minimum.
Photos must be furnished before January 20th at the very latest
just to make
the catalog. However, far more advertising is available
if jpgs and descriptions are submitted as soon as possible.
Please email or call me for full details.
My costs in putting on the auction TRIPPLED from last year. I was
faced with several options:
A) Stop doing auctions (Changing locations would not work, as I left
my original location when they tripled their price. Space during the
Show is VERY expensive).
B) Increase Buyers' Premium (I have been charging 5% for some time)
C) Increase Sellers' commission fees.
or
D) a combination of B & C.
I decided on D with as minimal as possible impact on both sellers and
buyers.
So, I set up the following criteria:
Buyers' Premium will go from 5% to 7%. This is still FAR below the
national standard in auctions, of which nearly all now charge between
15% and 25% buyers' premium! This increase of 2% will cover about
65% of my increased cost. For the remainder:
1) Those who get me their list and photos prior to Sep. 30 and bring their
pieces to the auction between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM will still pay only 10%
2) Those who get the list and photos by Sep 30 and have me take the object
to the auction pay 15%
3) Those who get the list and photos to me between Sep 30 and Nov 30 pay
15% if they bring their items to the auction between 5:30 and 6:30 or 20%
if I bring it.
4) Those who get me their list and photos after Dec. 1 pay 20%
or, if I bring their items they pay 25%
5) Those who bring their item(s) unannounced the day of the auction pay
25% between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM.
6) Anyone bringing their item(s) to the auction after 6:30 PM will pay
an additional 5% whatever their category, and those showing up unannounced
after 7PM will pay another additional 5%
7) Those who bring their item to the auction after 7:15
pay yet another 5%
Therefore, those offering items for sale will be paying as little as 10% and
depending when they enter their items a little more to the point that if they
show up unannounced in 10 minutes before the auction, as much as
40%. Hopefully, these prices will allow the majority of sellers to offer items
at the same low commission rate as always, bring down the last minute
insanity making flurry of entries yet generate enough to make up for the
dramatically increased overhead.
NOTE: I may or may not "negotiate" a lower fee for some sellers based
on my perception of the desirability and /or value of (a) given item(s).
In other words, if someone shows up at the last minute with a fabulous
specimen and is asking no minimum I may be willing to negotiate
the fee on said item. This is entirely at my discression.
ALL entries are at the discretion of the auctioneer and PRIORITY WILL BE
GIVEN TO NO MINIMUM/NO RESERVE ITEMS and to ITEMS OF HIGHEST
QUALITY. I reserve the right to decline acceptance of items I do not believe will
generate a high level of interest among the bidders.

DIRECTIONS:
VFW Hall (Post # 4903) on N. Beverly Ave., just off Speedway Blvd. at
1150 N. Beverly Ave.
There is plenty of parking and a no host bar attached
to the hall with burgers, fries, sandwiches, etc. available.
Directions are extremely simple:
-
Take Speedway east from HWY 10 five miles.
- Left on Beverly which is a few blocks past the
major intersection of Swan and Speedway and two blocks
before the major intersection of Craycroft and Speedway.
(If you get to Craycroft, you went two blocks too far).
- Turn left onto N. Beverly Ave. from Speedway and pull
into the ample VFW parking lot at 1150 N. Beverly Ave.
Tucson is laid out such that Broadway, Speedway and Grand all run
parallel on another and are the main arteries roughly East and West,
while many main arteries run roughly North/South, such as Swan and
Craycroft.

BOOKS:
Jim Schwade will definately be offering his splendid new book, THE SCHWADE
METEORITE COLLECTION
for sale. This is a fabulous book with loads and loads
of spectacular specimen photographs.
Hopefully, Mike and Bill Jensen & Anne Black co-authors of METEORITES A to Z
will be offering their LATEST EDITION, which has vastly more locations
than the 1st edition listed as well as other convenient updates. This is THE
portable and most user friendly reference in meteoritics. I have 2 copies and use
it almost daily. Buy it here, save on postage - AND get it signed!
In addition, noted author, O. Richard Norton and his wife, Dorothy will likely be there
and will bring a few copies of each of their respective books and personally autograph
copies if anyone wants to bring their own or buy one from them. Dorothy
has recently had a fossil book published FULL of her illustrations on Ice Age
Mammals & Richard, of course, has published two of the most important books
on meteorites ever released. His ROCKS FROM SPACE II and THE CAMBRIDGE
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF METEORITES belong in every collector's library.
********************************************
EVERYONE TAKE NOTE:
- People "cash out" in the order they register for a bid card. ABSOLUTELY
NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER FOR ANOTHER BIDDER.
However, I will be attempting to have TWO people cashing out everyone and
one DURING the auction for those who were interested in only one or two
items.
- Buyer's Premium is 7%
- There will be a 5% processing fee for use of Visa or Mastercard
- You MUST fill out a card when registering for your bidding number listing your
RESALE NUMBER or you will pay AZ/Tucson sales tax.
********************************************
STILL ROOM TO ENTER ITEMS
PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO NO MINIMUM/NO RESERVE ITEMS
and to ITEMS OF HIGHEST QUALITY.
This promises to be a FUN time & everyone is invited to sell, buy or just enjoy the
festivities & to go to a late dinner afterwards. This is an opportune time for many of
us on the list who know one another only via e-mails to meet face to face & get to
spend some fun time together. (If you buy some stuff at the show - bring it to the
auction & at the dinner afterwards we can all Show & Tell - one of the more fun
aspects of collecting, in my book).
I only require 2 things:
1) I ask that everyone just buying arrive between 5:30 & 7:00 to pre-register
to get a bid number & examine specimens that will be offered (& take advantage
to meet “old friends” you only know by e-mail address! and "have a cold one" if
you so choose - or, in Rob's case, a warm one.
2) The VFW has a full bar on site. However, please drink responsibly and have a
designated driver.
- There will be a uniformed guard to facilitate security .
If you are interested in being paid to help out with the
clerking of the auction, please contact me directly.
It is my intention to retain the open atmosphere which has characterized
my auctions since the beginning.
This year's auction promises to be the best to date!
(If you would like to put an exceptional specimen on consignment, please
contact me at mlblood@cox.net for a full description of terms and conditions)
