A note from BCD: One can never have enough of leafing through the Greek SNG Lockett. Especially when all parts are bound together, making it so much easier to move from one feast for the eyes to another. And to think that his collection of English coins was as important as his Greek! This writer once knew an elderly gentleman who, when he was very young, collected English Mediaeval pennies. He would call Lockett’s residence on several occasions in the late 40’s and ask if he could see his collection. Lockett would always invite him for afternoon tea and would receive him seated in his Winter garden. After tea was served, Lockett would ask him what he wanted to see and then he would say to his butler “James, can you please bring cabinet no. 14”. Those were the days…
