content: This subseries is comprised of account books and materials relating to client sales, purchases, and consignments. Four account books appear to be indexes of client names with reference numbers or sales lot numbers, with client names listed alphabetically. Some accounting marks appear next to names, with numbers and occasionally an address, and sometimes a notation of "pd." or "paid" appears over or next to names, with dates. Client account book "Statement Books" provide more detailed information related to expenses incurred by clients or estates over the course of a sale or auction. These often contain an index of sales.
