What about including a section on the website of Magic Token literature?

Can anybody tell me about the Appendix items mentioned on page 7 in Kuethe? Items 1 and 2 say that the advertisments are reproduced. Where? Is it the actual TAMS journal itself, because I only have the orange-covered booklet labeled "Part Two" on the cover. I also saw a reference elsewhere about inserted pages (?)

continuing on the previous post..

I just saw the AP28 scan. A coincidence - Kuethe refers to Appendix IV on this one. Appendix IV?

I noticed MT271 says, 'see listing in Catamount'. Anyone know what Catamount is?

See I knew my years of training as a coin dealer would pay off some day Chicago Area Token And Medal Society
CATAMount
was there "book" published around 1960's

Also Catamount is the name for Mountain Lion..which of course makes no sense here LOL

ok, this is actually regarding the last discussion in the "Hellos" Topic, with Shemp and mrmagician...

Got me thinking about sites by members I've run across. The reference to Frontpage and RF (?) lead me to Mr Forgaard's site (under construction) and later, to the Nielsen Magic nnmagic website. So, about literature - nnmagic refers to "Randy Forgaard and Burton Sperber has written a book on this subject titled Magician Pocket Mirrors". Any comments on content and availability from anyone?

Any other member websites out there?

Just a few observations on Kuethe - mostly typos. These are not intended as nit-picking, just clarification:

MT013 Obv/Rev references to “1012” should read “MT012”

MT014 Obv text “1013” should read “MT013”. Rev text “1012” should read “MT012”

MT028 I suspect the diameter of this piece should be 24mm and was perhaps copied from the previous entry MT027.

MT052 Titled “Cahello, A.”, but the obverse reads “Cabello”? Should be Cabello?

MT078 This has an issue date of 1924, yet reverse is dated 1927? Even given that issue dates are approximate, perhaps both should be 24 or 27?

MT088 Why issue number 088 when the token is actually MT174? Why not simply reference it similarly to “Davis, Jack”.

MT099.5 The problem with alphabetic systems. A better solution?

MT120 Incorrectly references MT270. The reference should appear on the following token, MT121 and MT122.

MT127 Titled “Evans, Harold S”, but the obverse text reads “Harold J”? Should be "J", British magician ?

MT180 Titled “Kanter, Mike” should be labeled MT179

MT217a Same case as 088. Does not require assignment of a number.

MT227 The diameter-edge indicates 33-G. What does G=?

MT275 Reference to Martinka MT229 should read MT239.

MT317 Why is this listed as simply “Tarbell”

MT342,343 Why is Voisin in () ?

I noticed a copy of Kuethe for sale on ebay recently. It was one of the signed editions. Accordint to the description, these are the copies have 3 appendices in them and supplemental notes that are referenced at various places within...
