The first two tsuba offered in this group were given to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1937 by Mrs. George A Crocker. The collection was actually formed by Malcolm MacMartin and was lent to the museum for an exhibition in 1913 (see Bashford Dean, "Loan Collection of Japanese Sword Guards" in The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin 11 (1913): pp. 228-35).
