Default Lelands auction 1990's

In the early 1990's there was a large group of original glass plate negatives, possibly even more than one lot. A friend of mine purchased them all, I think. They were all identified, in glassine envelopes, and stored in original wooden crates. Not sure of the exact number, but I believe there were several hundred, including multiples of all the major stars, circa 1910 to 20. I am not sure of the date, but it is possible it was the Leland auction that featured Harry Stevens' collection. If someone has a run of older Leland's catalogues they might be able to get greater details. We believed at the time, they included the work of all the motor photographers. My friend is a very private collector, but I will try to find out more details. I do not believe they were very expensive at all.
