Provenance

The "Hurter-Amman" Collection of Ancient and World Gold and Silver Coins and Medals


Hans Nussbaum (Zurich), by private treaty, c. 1938 - Fr. 50



The partnership of L. & L. Hamburger ended on January 26, 1929 upon the death of Joseph Hamburger and by that of Leo Hamburger on February 16, 1929. Leo's relatives Felix J. Schlessinger and son-in-law David Nussbaum and later on by his grandson Hans Nussbaum (1902-1939) took over the establishment. Schlessinger soon left opening his own office at Berlin. In 1933, Hans Nussbaum fled Germany during the Nazi pogrom and worked from an office in the renowned Bank Leu in Zurich, Switzerland. His final coin auction at Leo Hamburger was on April 3, 1933, selling Greek coins and coins of Sicily. After that sale the firm of Leo Hamburger came to an end. Hans Nussbaum took refuge at Zurich. Tragically, he was killed in a plane crash in February 1939 at Senlis, Switzerland. His father David sold off his coin inventory after his death at Bahnhofstrasse 32. David Nussbaum died on 17 May, 1941 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
