Actually, the dies were purchased from the Goetz family many years ago, but were recently consigned to our sale by their owner."

To be most accurate, the clarification should read, "Actually, the dies were sold by the Goetz family many years ago, but were recently consigned to our sale by their most recent/current owner." This material has been owned by at least four entities since it was sold by the Goetz family. I am trying to convey to Goetz collectors that these lots have essentially no provenance from their creation dates 90-100 years ago until today. With the exception of a general sales date sometime in the early 1970's by Guido Goetz to a dealer, we know nothing more.
