Fingerprint Display
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2024 10:36 am
I recently sold most of my fingerprint book collection to WVU, then a collection to NIST, and I have one last book group I have arranged into a fingerprint display, including some fingerprint kits, antique looking magnifier, and some memorabilia. The total cost of the items is over $6,500, but I am discounting it for a police department, crime lab, or sheriff's office looking for a cool fingerprint related display. Just to be clear, this is not a complete fingerprint book library - but it does contain the first book written on fingerprints - Galton's 1892 "Finger Prints" and follow-on 1893 "Decipherment of Blurred Finger Prints". This is a perfect collection for a fingerprint display / showcase / etc. I'm willing to part with it for the discounted price of $5,000. And I'm willing to give someone a copy of Henry Faulds 1912 "Dactylography - the study of Finger Prints" as a finders fee for placing this display with the right organization!
