My A. D. Grutzmacher Native American relic catalogs from
early 1900's. I see a few of these from the 30's and 40's
every so often. But the early catalogs are reality scarce.
I have looked for these catalogs at every show I attended,
which is virtually every show, at Collinsville and Owensboro
and came up empty.
My A. D.Grutzmacher Native American relic catalogs are
from 1913, 1914 and 1919.
