A PARTISAN WITH DECORATIONS OF THE GUARD OF FRIEDRICH AUGUST I, ELECTOR OF SAXONY, ETCHED WITH HIS C

Lot #1010 (Sale Order 10 of 523)

He ruled until his death in 1733 (with a brief interruption in 1706-1709 when Sweden installed Stanislaus I with August returning only after Battle of Poltava, which resulted in the death of one of Stanislaus's main supporters, Charles XII), at which point controversy over his successor led to the War of the Polish Succession (which, amusingly enough, included Stanislaus on the side of Sejm).

The addressee is likely the Dr. Samuel Adams (1845-1819) who served as Surgeon in Fellow’s Massachusetts Regiment, 18th Continental Infantry and 3rd Continental Artillery, as well as other offices. His papers are at the NYPL. The letter welcomes him back from campaign, solicits his opinion on current affairs, and twice references the “Somerset,” a Royal Navy warship that enforced the embargo on Boston in 1775 and was wrecked by a storm on Cape Cod on November 2, 1778.

ATTRACTIVE GEORGE WASHINGTON PORTRAIT AFTER REMBRANDT PEALE.

Lot #1048 (Sale Order 48 of 523)

Unsigned circa nineteenth century oil on canvas portrait of George Washington depicted in his Continental uniform in faux painted wood roundel after Rembrandt Peale. Rembrandt Peale (Pennsylvania, 1778-1860) painted Washington live at 18 years old, copying the portrait 79 times throughout his life, painting his last Washington in 1859. This portrait is framed in an attractive painted gesso frame with paper tag reverse noting the painting was relined and restored in 1931 by Hannah Horner. Field: 17 - 1/4 x 20 - 13/16". Overall: 25 x 29" CONDITION: Very good with craquelure surface with some minor inpainting. Frame has some chips and minor splits, remaining sturdy and serviceable. Overall the portrait presents very well. BAS This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

EARLY GEORGE WASHINGTON PORTRAIT ON PAPER.

Lot #1049 (Sale Order 49 of 523)

Rare, early mezzotint copy of the Landsdowne portrait of Washington painted by Gilbert Stuart, as published by Atkins and Nightingale July 1, 1801 in Philadelphia and London. Captioned at bottom, "General Washington / from the original picture in Philadelphia" with the publisher's line in small print above, the London address added in the plate. Printed in color with colors finished by hand. Commissioned by Lord Landsdowne, former British Prime Minister. Stuart worked from a single sitting granted by Washington in Fall 1795 and completed it in Germantown in 1796 and made several copies. The portrait purports to show Washington addressing Congress in 1795: his hand outstretched in rhetorical gesture. This version omits the rainbow usually seen in the background, but clouds do give way to blue sky. Books titled Laws and Constitution sit by a table leg shaped like the fasces of the Roman Republic and the ceremonial mace of the House of Representatives that uses the same bound rods, but topped by an eagle, as on the table leg. Washington is dressed not in a uniform, but the plain black of a citizen and wears a civilian dress sword, showing him as both father and servant of the Republic. Landsdowne respected Washington and had secured a peaceful end to the war. It did not hurt that the terms of the Jay Treaty, settling claims between the 2 countries at about the time the portrait was commissioned, were regarded rather more favorably in Britain than here. CONDITION: Excellent. Bright colors, completely intact, no folds or losses, only very minor thin foxing or soiling to margins.

IMPRESSIVE LARGE SCALE PORTRAIT OF EDWARD BUTLER.

Lot #1050 (Sale Order 50 of 523)

Unsigned circa nineteenth century oil on canvas portrait of George Washington depicted seated in his Continental uniform with sword and Society of the Cincinnati medal. Mounted in a gilt gesso frame. Field: 39" x 49-1/8" Overall: 56" x 66" CONDITION: Good. Painting has a cracked surface that does not detract from its overall attractiveness. Frame has some repaired cracking and losses with areas of repaint. A great portrait of the first president! BAS This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

CORRECTION: Title updated. After further research, the sitter of this portrait has been attributed to Edward Butler of Pennsylvania (1762-1803). Butler served as an officer through the Revolutionary War, receiving a commission to Ensign at 16 years of age in 1778. He continued his service through the 1790s, acting as Adjunct General and Inspector General of the US Army. A nearly identical portrait, now in the collection of the Society of the Cincinnati descended through the Butler family. These paintings are believed to be circa 19th century copies based on an original portrait of Butler painted posthumously by Washington Cooper (1802-1889). He is depicted in what appears to be his post-Revolutionary War officer's uniform with Society of Cincinnati medal, indicating his membership in the prestigious organization.

UMBRELLA REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN OWNED BY GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Lot #1051 (Sale Order 51 of 523)

Umbrella or parasol with an impressed horn handle in the form of a rattlesnake head on the tip, and at the base with a portrait bust of Washington in an oval cartouche on the left, with "Washington" along its lower edge, and on the right a pretty American eagle with US shield on its chest, clutching arrows and olive branch, with 13 stars at bottom and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" along the top edge. Opened by sliding a brass sleeve along a central wood shaft. Metal rods from the upper edge of the cylinder attached to the midpoints of wood slats hinged at the top would force the umbrella open, with the cylinder held by a spring in central shaft. Consignor reports a provenance to Washington himself. CONDITION: Good. Fragments of original blue fabric in place at top. All nine hinged wood slats loose but in place. Grip shows wear along the midpoint and curving tip, changing its color from brown to gray, with details of the Washington portrait rubbed but visible, the eagle sharper, and details of the snake head visible. It has been suggested the figure might be an eagle's head, but the rounded nose and contours clearly suggest the rattlesnake, an equally American patriotic motif.

TERRA COTTA BUST OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AFTER HOUDON.

Lot #1052 (Sale Order 52 of 523)

Painted terra cotta bust of Benjamin Franklin signed and dated on right shoulder "Houdon P+ 1778". Franklin’s presence in Paris from 1776 to 1785 made him first in Houdon’s series of portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution, which included John Paul Jones, Lafayette, and Washington himself. Whether Franklin formally sat for the portrait is debated, but Houdon had ample opportunity to observe Franklin in person and his portrait, has been noted as accurate both in its portrayal of the man and his simple form of dress that fascinated refined French society. Franklin, of course, played up notions of Republican simplicity and American naturalness in his campaign to win French support for the cause, even adding a fur cap to his customary wear. CONDITION: Good. A repaired split runs across the shoulders, appearing to be stable. Colored a muted bronze with spots of touch up. Slight chips and flakes to raised areas, such as nostrils and eyebrows. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

Presiding over all is a large bullion Federal eagle clasping olive branches in one talon and arrows in the other, while flying a banner reading "E. PLURIBUS UNUM". Framed in a period gesso frame. CONDITION: Good. Presidential portraits starting to fade with some stains and minor losses to background. Bullion is still bright. Frame has some light chipping.

RARE AND ATTRACTIVE PETER FORCE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE FACSIMILE PRINT.

Lot #1056 (Sale Order 56 of 523)

No document could so well encapsulate the spirit of Revolution in the Colonies as the formal Declaration of Independence signed by the Continental Congress in July, 1776. Its significance was clear even in the early years of the Republic, with the original engrossed document prominently displayed to the point of deterioration. In 1820, John Quincy Adams commissioned a facsimile by William J. Stone, who created his plate directly off of the original by wetting the document and creating a transfer with the Declaration's original ink. The copy included in this lot was printed circa 1833 or 1848 by Stone off of his original plate under the direction of archivist Peter Force intending it to be included in his "American Archives" series authorized by Congress in 1833. "W. J. STONE SC WASH'N" print mark present in lower left. Although 1500 copies were to be printed, high costs and limited sales caused the print run to be left incomplete. It is believed only an approximated 500 copies of the Declaration were actually printed, with a relatively low survival rate today. View: 24 - 3/4" x 30 - 1/2". Overall: 41 - 1/2" x 48". CONDITION: Very good. A fine, clean imprint. Print is evenly toned with a few minor spots. Print has not been examined out of its arts and crafts style mahogany frame. This historically significant facsimile of one of America's most treasured documents would make a fine addition to any collection! BAS

(A) PAIR OF MIDDLE EASTERN DECORATED FLINTLOCK PISTOLS.

Lot #1058 (Sale Order 58 of 523)

While these pistols have some subtle aesthetic differences that point to their manufacture as two separate pistols, their design and embellishment betray an intentional marriage as a pair. Both pieces have cast brass overstraps decorated with geometrics and wire, with false ramrods. Both stocks are inlaid with German silver wire and pommel on pistol B appears to be potmetal while (A) is made of German silver. Both pistols have significant areas of gilding still visible (mostly on barrel) and have chiseled florals over the breech, albeit of slightly different designs, and an illegible poincon on (A).

US 1850S CLAUBERG NON-REGULATION BRITISH PATTERN 1827 SWORD WITH BRASS HILT.

Lot #1123 (Sale Order 123 of 523)

A very attractive example of a US non-regulation officer's sword. These swords were imported in some quantity and were preferred by many officers as a field sword due to its sturdy steel scabbard. Modeled on the British Pattern 1827 sword for rifle officers, the hilts and scabbard mounts were constructed of metals like iron or, in this case, brass. Import swords of this style are usually German made, and this one is clearly marked “W. Clauberg / Solingen” around the firm’s trademark standing knight on the reverse ricasso. The blade is slightly curved, with single edge and spear point. Both sides are etched. The obverse features a patriotic spread winged eagle, perched on a banner that reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM", flanked by floral scrolls, followed by more scrolls and vines contained in a stylized geometric spire just above the ricasso. The reverse features floral scrolls which flank a large script “U.S.” followed by more scrolls and vines that mirror the obverse designs just above the ricasso. As is common in the pattern, the “gothic” hilt with scrolls and arches replaces the cut-out British hunting horn with an American spread winged eagle, clutching arrows and an olive branch, over an openwork “U.S.”, and with a banner held in its beak. The engraved details include the U.S. motto, detailed eagle feathers, and a menacing expression on the eagle's face. The center swelled wood grip is wrapped in high quality sharkskin with triple wire binding. The pommel has grooved top, channeled base, and a smooth backstrap terminating at a ferrule just under the guard. The sword is complete with its steel scabbard that features brass mounts. The mounts are unadorned. CONDITION: The blade remains bright with crisp etchings which flash when the sword is unsheathed. Light areas of spotting are noticed, but do not detract from the quality of the blade. The brass hilt exhibits a pleasing mellow patina with scattered dark spots. Some of the brass wires are loose but the sharkskin remains firmly secured to the grip. The scabbard exhibits a dark gray and chocolate patina, especially towards the drag. The mounts exhibit a matching patina to the hilt. Pitting evident on the scabbard body. Overall good. A fine example of a popular U.S. officer’s sword.

US CIVIL WAR TIFFANY & CO. MODEL 1860 CUTLASS STYLE PRESENTATION SWORD INSCRIBED TO LIEUTENANT COLON

Lot #1143 (Sale Order 143 of 523)

Exceptional Civil War nonregulation presentation sword, styled in the pattern of the Model 1860 Cutlass, and named to a US Marine Corps artillery officer. Horace Almy Manchester was born in Providence, Rhode Island during the year 1812. By the time of the Civil War, the middle-aged Manchester was a successful Democrat who was already well established with a prominent legal career. Nevertheless, he decided to serve when the 1st Marine Artillery was being organized. Manchester mustered in on December 1, 1861, a month after his friend Colonel William Howard was authorized to recruit the organization. Colonel Howard is recorded in “The Union army: a history of military affairs in the loyal states, 1861-65 -- records of the regiments in the Union army -- cyclopedia of battles -- memoirs of commanders and soldiers, Volume II: New York, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio” to have organized the regiment, with Lieutenant Colonel Horace A. Manchester and Major Charles E. Mears listed as his subordinates. The regiment was organized in New York City with the purpose of service on gunboats. The personnel signed on for 3 years and would be tasked with harassing Confederate lines via gunboats which were provided for them. The regiment served at Annapolis, Maryland and was attached to the 18th and 10th Corps beginning in August 1862. The regiment participated in the engagements of Roanoke Island, Elizabeth City, New Berne, Elizabeth, the Siege of Fort Macon, South Mills, Tranter's Creek, Swift Creek, Neuse River, Washington, near Shiloh, Rawle's Mills, an expedition to Goldsboro, Kinston and Folly Island, and several other minor affairs. The unit, as well as Manchester, is well covered in the publication "The Union Army: A History of Military Affairs in the Loyal States, 1861-65..." where Manchester reported on the conducting of naval operations in North Carolina during mid-December 1862. Commander Alexander Murray, wrote of the actions led by Manchester during the Expedition Against Goldsborough, North Carolina, and stated that “This flotilla left Newburn on the evening of the 12th instant - the Alisson, Port Royal, Ocean Wave, and Wilson, in the advance under Colonel Manchester- with orders to reconnoiter, and in the case of attack or the discovery of batteries to fall back on the heavier vessels. This movement was partially strategic, and was very successful. The attack on the batteries, and the falling back of the lighter boats, the shelling of the woods, and the feint to land a force on the north bank, had the desired effect..." Manchester also wrote a detailed report regarding the action and indicated that he and his men had fired upon the Confederate batteries with their Parrott gun, "the first fire being within cannister range. Three shells were exploded within the batteries with apparent effect, as the enemy ceased their fire for some after." He later remarked about subsequent engagements "Of the enemy one was shot from the bridge and fell into the river, and two men were blown to pieces on the bank. At the log-house, 30 men are said to have been in it, when two 30-pounder Parrott's, loaded with canister, were fired through it, at a distance of two hundred feet, and at the Oldfield Bank Landing, the fire of the Ocean Wave, North State, and Port Royal was direct, and within four hundred feet of the enemy." Manchester and his men performed exceptionally well in their engagements and their actions in North Carolina were no exception. Their boats received damage, though not severe. For a daring engagement, they only they lost 1 man killed, 3 severely wounded, with at least 1 dying of his wounds, and several with minor wounds. It was recorded that Manchester lacked the qualifications to command his men, and the brazen Marine officer wrote to General Edward Canby in an effort to defend himself against these claims. Judging by the accounts of the operations in early 1863, the records surely advocate that Manchester was a capable officer. It is possible that the issues stemmed from earlier in his career, as he apparently had domestic issues as well, as he publicly forbade anyone from doing business on his behalf, especially his wife. In a letter dated January 24, 1863 Manchester was dismissed from service “Lieut Col H.A. Manchester, Marine Artillery, New York Vols. Is hereby dismissed the service for inefficiency, want of capacity, and conduct prejudicial to the public interests." Click here to see the full description.

CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE CS STAR ARTILLERY SHORT SWORD.

Lot #1144 (Sale Order 144 of 523)

Although specifics are unknown, it is believed that these CS Star Artillery Short Swords were fabricated by a number of Southern manufacturers. Some of these manufacturers include the Confederate States Armory of Wilmington, North Carolina, W.J. McElroy of Macon, Georgia, and E. J. Johnston & Co. who also resided in Macon, Georgia. It is believed that E.J. Johnston & Co. manufactured around 150 of these swords for use by the Choctaw Artillery. Several variations of these swords were manufactured throughout the war and this interesting example features Confederate markings which make this sword stand out. Designed from the U.S. Model 1832 Artillery Short Sword, this crude duplication features an unmarked, straight, double-edged blade with a single stopped fuller. The hilt is of cast brass and features a slightly curved crossguard with the letters "CS" cast on each side. The grip features cast ribs which lead up to a misshapen, domed pommel that exhibits a star impression on either side. The hilts of these short swords were hollow cast, thus resulting in significant flaws once removed from the mold. It is not uncommon to encounter casting flaws including holes in the brass which penetrate to the core on original examples. The brass hilt, pommel, and crossguard were cast as a single integral unit which was then affixed to the blade. This process differentiates from the Ames counterpart, as the hilt is not riveted like the Model 1832 Short Sword. As a result of the affixing process, the hilt produces a slight wobble when handled. The hilt's dark reddish hue evidences a high copper content mixed in with the brass. CONDITION: The blade is heavily worn, exhibiting a dark chocolate patina with pitting throughout its length. Edge wear is exhibited to both sides of the blade. The crudely cast hilt features flaws typical of Confederate produced edged weapons. 1 3/8" hole is noticed towards the pommel. Dents and dings are obvious throughout the hilt. Attic. PROVENANCE: The sword is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which is signed by Army of Tennessee Relics which states that this sword is authentic in every regard. Despite its flaws, this is a fine example of an untouched Confederate Artillery Short Sword.

CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE CS STAR ARTILLERY SHORT SWORD WITH LEATHER SCABBARD.

Lot #1145 (Sale Order 145 of 523)

Nice example of a Civil War Confederate CS Star Artillery Short Sword. It is believed that these CS Star Artillery Short Swords were fabricated by a number of Southern manufacturers including the Confederate States Armory of Wilmington, North Carolina, W.J. McElroy of Macon, Georgia, and E. J. Johnston & Co., who also resided in Macon, Georgia. It is believed that E.J. Johnston & Co. manufactured around 150 of these swords for use by the Choctaw Artillery. Produced in several variations, this example exhibits notable Confederate markings which make it stand out among other short swords of the period. These swords also stand out due to their crudeness compared to other short swords which were used during the era. Designed based off of the U.S. Model 1832 Artillery Short Sword, this crude duplication features an unmarked, straight, double-edged blade with a single stopped fuller. The hilt is of cast brass and features a slightly curved crossguard with the letters "CS" roughly cast on each side. The grip features cast ribs which lead up to a domed pommel that exhibits a star impression on either side. The hilts of these short swords were hollow cast, thus resulting in significant flaws once removed from the mold. Many examples of these Confederate short swords are plagued with various casting flaws which include minor issues and in some cases major issues including holes in the brass which penetrate to the core of the hilt. Unlike the superior riveted hilt of the Ames Model 1832 Artillery Short Sword, the brass hilt, pommel, and crossguard on these Confederate swords were cast as one integral unit which was then affixed to the blade. As a result of the affixing process, the hilt produces a slight wobble when handled. The brass hilt does not exhibit evidence of high copper content, however there is a slight reddish hue around the crossguard. The sword is complete with its original black leather scabbard. The scabbard features a lower brass fitting with stud mount, however the drag was separated from the sword long ago. There is ghosting where the drag was once mounted to the scabbard. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a light gray patina with scattered large areas of spotting throughout its length. Edge wear is exhibited to both sides of the blade. The blade exhibits a slight bend and the tip is warped. The crudely cast hilt features flaws typical of Confederate produced edged weapons. One 1/4" hole is noticed on the crossguard. There are several dents and dings which are spread throughout the hilt. The scabbard exhibits cracks and creases as well as areas of loss throughout its construction. Seam remains tight. Brass mount exhibits a pleasing dark patina and produces a slight wobble, much like the hilt. Overall good. PROVENANCE: The sword is accompanied by a previous description which states this sword was sold by Rebel Relics. Although this sword is rather coarse compared M1832 Short Sword, this CS Star Artillery Short Sword is aesthetically pleasing and is an excellent example of a desirable Confederate blade.

DESIRABLE CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE CLOVERLEAF PIKE.

Lot #1146 (Sale Order 146 of 523)

Unmarked Civil War Confederate cloverleaf pike on shortened haft. Cloverleaf pikes like this unmarked example are known to have been manufactured in Georgia after the outbreak of the Civil War.

This example features the correct pike head that is composed of three double edged blades. The center blade is in the shape of a peach leaf, and measures approximately 10" long. Flanking the center blade on either side are two blades that measure 3" from tip to center.

The languets appear to have a japanned finish, and the upper portion of the shaft was painted black. These pikes were manufactured with a 6 foot shaft, however this example was shortened at some point and the shaft measures 19" from the top of the ferrule to the bottom. CONDITION: The blade has grayed with age and in some light exhibits an attractive chocolate patina. The edges remain sharp and there is scattered pitting throughout.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS' PAINTED DRUM ALBANY BURGESS CORPS, 25TH NY.

Lot #1161 (Sale Order 161 of 523)

This painted eagle drum bears an American eagle clutching arrows, olive branch, and a United States shield, on a blue ground with glory of stars and sunburst rays rising from behind clouds to its rear, and has a long white-bordered red ribband painted "1861" at left and "ABC" at right. The latter is the abbreviation for the Albany Burgess Corps, appearing on their buttons and other gear, a New York militia company formed in 1833. In addition to serving n various ceremonial and police functions, the company volunteered for field service in the Civil War on April 30, 1861, and saw action with the 25th NY Volunteers. This drum has the later, shorter form used in side drums and may be an altered wartime drum: the rims are wide, show wear along the top edge and have typically wartime red paint. In any case, the paint is clearly commemorative of their wartime service and the company remained active throughout the nineteenth century. CONDITION: Very good. Top head shows age and a repaired tear. Bottom head is correct, but likely newer. Flesh hoops are intact. Ropes, tighteners, and snare are recent replacements. This is a nice example of a Civil War veterans' drum that would enhance a collection devoted the company or to the G.A.R. and other veteran groups.

CIVIL WAR US NAVY MODEL 1857 POWDER TANK.

Lot #1163 (Sale Order 163 of 523)

A vast improvement upon old fashioned wood powder kegs and barrels, these metallic containers, designated “powder tanks,” made their appearance on U.S. Navy ships by the 1840s. Designed to safely store bagged powder charges for heavy guns in the ship’s magazine, they were made of bronze and copper to avoid chance sparks that could be disastrous to a vessel or munitions depot, and could be tightly sealed to make them impervious to water or dampness. This one follows the pattern specified in 1857, and is clearly marked on the upper corner of the body with its filled weight, ”50 LB,” along with “USN” in large letters and naval ordnance inspection stamp “ORD 1857 / H.A.W. / (anchor)” which is the mark of Henry A. Wise, U.S. Navy 1834-1869. Wise was assigned to the Boston Navy Yard and in 1856 to the Washington Navy Yard, overseeing foundries producing navy ordnance and worked closely with John A. Dahlgren in improving U.S. naval weapons’ systems. CONDITION: Excellent. These are extremely scarce, most meeting their fate as scrap metal after improved patterns had taken their place. Paperwork: Consigner Research, photos, National Archives Letters

US NAVY MODEL 1870 POWDER TANK.

Lot #1164 (Sale Order 164 of 523)

This US Navy powder tank bears the faint impression of “MODEL 1870” on one side, indicating it is an improvement upon the 1857 pattern, likely in the use of a screw-tightened top and perhaps in the metal used, this one showing redder cast indicating a higher copper content. The principle, however, was the same. Bag charges of powder for the increasingly large bore naval guns had to be kept dry and away from any chance spark both while aboard ship and ashore. These metal containers made the charges both safe to store and easy to transfer between munitions depot and ship’s magazine. This is the same size as the 1857 designated example we offer, indicating its filled weight was 50 pounds, but differs in the sealing arrangement and in markings, having only parts numbers marked on the handle and body. The designation of Model 1870 nicely dates its to the expansion of U.S. naval power at the end of the 19th century. CONDITION: Very good. Model designation is faint, but legible. Paperwork: Consigner Notes, National Archives Letters

CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG STITCHED "JEFF DAVIS"

Lot #1181 (Sale Order 181 of 523)

This is a quite wonderful first national Confederate flag, typical of those made of found materials by young girls in a display of patriotism and incipient sewing skills. Completely handsewn, the flag features a square canton of blue, somewhat awkwardly placed low in the upper red stripe, and embroidered in white with a 5-pointed star at center surrounded by a circle of smaller stars, slightly more delicate in construction, ten of which survive. Instead of fringe, the flag is provided with a lace border that, if not repurposed from something else, was within the domestic skills imparted to young women of the time. The white center stripe has been enhanced by large, somewhat awkwardly cut-out letters spelling "JEFF DAVIS" with a large period at the end, and a smaller inverted exclamation point in the middle, and a large "A" placed on its own under "Davis." The use of Confederate President's name with an emphatic or defiant exclamation point is reminiscent of some early war Confederate images, often thought to have a Mississippi connection, displaying a "Jeff Davis and the South!" beside the soldier. In this case the "A" might have been intended for just such a motto on the flag, thwarted by the poor spatial judgment of unsupervised young sewers. The same explanation may lie behind the placement of the exclamation point, though its inversion might point to Spanish influence in the deep south. CONDITION: Very good. Losses to the edges, including the upper edge of the canton, as shown. Narrow stains to portions of the hoist perhaps indicating it was glued to a stick. Lettering applied to one side only. Framed in double glass. Not examined out of the frame. Interested parties should consult competent textile authorities.

(A) STAMPED COLT OF ACTING ASSISTANT SURGEON TITUS MUNSON COAN, USS SEBAGO, BATTLE OF MOBILE BAY.

Lot #1202 (Sale Order 202 of 523)

Colt 1849 Pocket Model 5 shot percussion revolver made by Colt in Hartford, Connecticut in 1861. Gun has name "Lieut. T. M. Coane" stamped on left grip. The addition of the "e" is likely an error due to a well intentioned presenter, perhaps a former patient. Titus Munson Coan was one of the few, if not only, Hawaiian born Civil War officers. Born at Hilo in 1836, the son of Christian missionaries, he was educated at the Royal and Punahow Schools of Honolulu before coming to the states in 1856 where he completed his B.A. at Williams in 1858, and M.A. in 1859. He then studied medicine in New York City with Dr. Elijah Harris, graduating Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1861, and becoming a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine. He spent 17 months as an intern in hospitals run by the NY Commissioners of Public Charities and Corrections at the Bellevue, Blackwell’s Island, Small Pox and Randall’s Island hospitals where he served as house surgeon or house physician and attended clinics run by doctors and medical professors in the various wards. Coan applied to the U.S. Board of Naval Surgeons in September 1863, passed their examination, and on October 27 was accepted as an Acting Assistant Surgeon, the post given by the U.S. Navy to a group of civilian doctors taken into the Navy to cope with its expanded wartime duties in enforcing the blockade, safeguarding commerce, and active combat operations, along internal waterways, the coast, and international waters. Navy rank equivalencies usually equated an Acting Assistant Surgeon as a Mate, but Coan’s experience may have gained him the extra grade: he is consistently referred to as a lieutenant in contemporary biographies, one explaining that he briefly held that rank and post in the army and transferred with it to the Navy. This might refer to earlier service as a contract surgeon, which does not leave traces in the usual military records. Coan served on the U.S.S. Sebago, a double-ended sidewheel gunboat built in 1861 at Portsmouth, likely joining it in New York, where it was undergoing repairs before sailing in early December for the Gulf of Mexico. There it served in Farragut’s West Gulf Blockading Squadron and in addition to blockading duties, in August 1864 took part in the Battle of Mobile Bay, by which Farragut closed off the last major Confederate Gulf port east of the Mississippi. The ship returned to New York and was decommissioned at the end of July 1865. Coan was discharged December 21, 1865. In later years Coan was active in MOLLUS, the organization for veteran U.S. officers of the Civil War, in particular acting as editor in the publication of memoirs. Coan had resumed the practice of medicine in New York in 1866, but by 1880 had become interested in writing and publishing. Some of his early work was medical: he published on hygiene and was interested in the effects of mineral waters and climate on health, but veered into ethnography and other subjects, natural from his Hawaiian upbringing, eventually opening his own editorial and publishing business in New York, where he died in 1921. This is a nice condition pistol with a great carved inscription and is typical of sidearms purchased for self-defense and carried by officers sailing in harm’s way no matter what their post or official duties. Pistol has 4" octagon barrel with 2 line Colt Hartford Address. Gun has all matching serial numbers including the wedge. 5 shot cylinder has 40% visible remaining stagecoach scene with visible matching number. Brass trigger guard with matching numbers and 1 piece walnut grips with Coan's name on left. PROVENANCE: Comes with several letters to Dr. John K. Lattimer stating origin and background of Coan.

M1870 .50-70 Springfield Trapdoor rifle that shows heavy Indian use. A scarce weapon in its own right, just under 10,000 of these were converted to centerfire using the M1863 muskets in government storage. Oral history from consignor's grandmother was that rifle was picked up from the battlefields of the Lava Beds in Northern California during the 1872-1873 Modoc War. Rifle shows heavy dark patina overall consistent with field use in harsh climates. There is pommel or saddle wear to the forend underside and a missing cleaning rod typical of captured rifles. There are 7 brass tack holes with 1 very aged and heavy patinated tack remaining. The others have fallen out from wood shrinkage but the indentations and shank holes remain. Research indicates that there are other known Modoc recovered rifle of this exact make and model. According to the National Park Service, a few notes may be found concerning the small arms used by the combatants. The standard weapon for infantrymen at the time of the Modoc War was the .50 cal. Springfield musket, M1868 or M1870. There are several references to Springfields in the records and it is assumed that the infantry companies and most of the artillery batteries were armed with this weapon. Ammunition forwarded to the Lava Beds from the Vancouver Arsenal included 40,000 rounds, center-primed, metallic cartridges, caliber .50. The report also discusses the Modocs collecting weapons in the field after the 1st battle of the Stronghold—carbines and rifles of various makes. They probably collected even more after their attack on the Thomas patrol, April 26. It may be assumed they were as well armed as the troops, many of their weapons being army-issue. The Yreka Union reported in March 1873 that the Modocs had 13 breech-loading rifles, four of them "needle" or Springfield rifles (referring to the M1870). They were also said to have a number of muzzle-loading weapons. Overall, there is a very strong case that can be made that this is indeed a Modoc War battlefield pickup that saw Indian use. If only this one could talk. CONDITION: Heavy overall frontier patina with surface brown metal and dark bore. Strong 2 click hammer lockup with good trigger mechanics. Extractor present but sticky with age. BRM. Barrel Length: 32" Caliber/Bore: .50-70 FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1870 Serial Number: NSN

Circa 1870s - 1880s large and stunningly carved meerschaum horse head pipe made by famed 19th century Austrian Meerschaum artisan Jon. H. Menhard. Brass plate inscription reads: "BELONGED TO BIG CHIEF WHITE HORSE, PRESENTED TO C. LAZARO BY HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN 'WA-THE-NA'." Wa-The-Na "the Queen" was actually his wife and was a white woman. White Horse Eagle travelled America, Europe, and Asia, claiming to be an Osage and chief of 105 Indian tribes and bestowing chief's honors on white celebrities wherever he came. He attracted tremendous attention during his Grand Tour of Germany in the spring and summer of 1929: he had made a sensational arrival in Berlin on April 18 in full chief's array and a feather head-dress of several meters in length. He requested to shake President Hindenburg's hand, as he allegedly had done with Bismarck during his first Grand Tour in 1887. He proceeded to visit the Berlin Anthropological Society and the grave of Karl May, Germany's cult writer of Westerns. After hiring on a German Wild West circus similar to that of Buffalo Bill's, he dictated an autobiography to the Nazi historian Edgar von Schmidt-Pauli. White Horse gave stirring laments over the dying Indian race. The Viennese artist Steffi Ventura painted his portrait. Later, when White Horse fell into disrepute, his alleged tribesmen complained that he spoke not a word of their native language, that he knew nothing of Indian culture and religion, and that the only God he held dear was alcohol. An interesting relic named to an albeit dubious persona of American history. CONDITION: Pipe is in excellent condition with no broken pieces or fractures the meerschaum body.

Once these lances were retired from the field use, many remained in the hands of warriors and were were held as ceremonial items. Period images show lances used in dances and parades decades after they were made. Former Jimmy Hart, New Jersey collection.
