The literature of meteoritics contains little information about the unusual Breece meteorite. This iron appears to be mentioned only in museum accession reports and catalogues of meteorite collections, and the sole information supplied by these references consists of the approximate date of find (1921), the approximate weight (50 to 51 kg.), the approximate place of discovery, near Breece, McKinley County, New Mexico, in latitude 35° 18' N., longitude 108° 18' W., and the classification (Ore). At the time of the discovery the hamlet of Breece was the centre of a small lumbering industry, since moved SW. and SE. into more heavily forested areas, and today it has few inhabitants. The find consisted of a single well-preserved mass which was purchased in its entirety from an unnamed source by the Field Museum of Chicago approximately ten years after the iron was discovered.
