HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT CARVED AND GILT WOOD CATHEAD FROM THE U.S.S. CONSTITUTION. This carving was removed from the U.S.S. Constitution at the time that it was docked in Boston Harbor. It was given to our consignor to completely restore and ready for its replacement. The square cat head carving was affixed to the projecting pieces of timber near the bow which served as crane booms for hoisting the anchors to the rail. They were located on the spar deck, forward of the furthest most gun in placements. Commonly known as catheads, they derived their name from the carvings or cast iron caps in the form of cats or lions, the cat in the 18th Century, being a Royal pet. These decorative heads were often plated in gold and were one of the few ornaments found on a warship. Once raised, the anchors would then be secured to the catheads until they were ordered cat off again. REFERENCE: For a similar carving made by John Bellamy see page 85 in “John Haley Bellamy Carver of Eagles” by Yvonne Brault Smith. PROVENANCE: The refurbishing of this carving was directed from a Navy Admiral to our client but was never accepted back or work paid for by the Navy. There is little documentation to this and we are relying upon our consignor for this information. SIZE: 18” x 15-1/2”. CONDITION: Very good. 9-28461 (10000-15000)

Set behind a bevel piece of glass in an ornate ormolu/brass inset frame. Little frame is set into a larger rectangular frame with small ring top. It has a black heavy matte with fine craquelure. The girl is Mary Balch and the letter is as follows: “Received New York March 13, 1860 of Mr. Jos P. Balch Ten dollars for painting a miniature of a little girl Godfred Miller Mr. Balch, please send me the receipt of the miniature and let me know how you are pleased with the likeness.

OUTSTANDING ENGRAVED COIN SILVER MUG BY LINCOLN & FOSS, BOSTON. Lincoln & Foss worked in Boston, Massachusetts Circa 1850. Bottom also marked “Pure Silver Coin”. Tapered mug has hollow curved handle and molded top and bottom edge. A presentation area engraved with flowers and leaves surrounding a cartouche which states “Robert Gould Shaw Sturtevant from R. G. Shaw May 3rd, 1853”. It is possible that this mug was a gift from Robert Gould Shaw to a relative or friend named Robert Gould Shaw Sturtevant after himself. Shaw would have been 16 years old and coming from a wealthy family, this would be a proper gift for naming ones child after him. Robert Gould Shaw was son of a prominent Boston abolitionist family. He attended Harvard University and joined the 7th New York Regiment and marched with it to the defense of Washington in April 1861. Shaw raised and commanded the first regiment of black troops organized in a northern state. He led the 54th on an assault of Confederate Battery Wagner and he died in that pursuit. He was buried in a common grave with his black enlisted men. This assault led by Shaw is memorialized on the Shaw Memorial which stands in the Boston Commons in Massachusetts which was executed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. SIZE: 3-3/4” h.

OUTSTANDING AND EXTENSIVE CORRESPONDENCE COLLECTION OF MARK T. MCKEE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION FROM THE EARLY 1930’S. This collection was found in a barn in Michigan in an unopened wood crate measuring 14-1/2” h x 28” w x 21-1/2” d which we believe had been sealed for at least 50 years. It contains thousands of letters to and from major industrialists, millionaires, businesses and political leaders requesting and receiving donations on behalf of the legions effort to help in the Veteran employment effort. This effort was recognized by President Hoover on April 4th, 1932 and was praised by the President for being an instrumental part in the legions effort to place 1 million unemployed Veterans back into the employment market. As of this date 432,460 men were placed in 2185 communities. The lot of correspondence is comprised of three file boxes and another box. Most of the returned correspondence are on company or personal letterhead and involve most of the most influential people and businesses in the country. Most of the letters are dated 1932 and signed by their respective Presidents or Executive Officers. There also is a quantity of original telegrams which document this effort. This untouched treasure trove opens a window into a difficult time in our history and focuses on one persons effort and success at alleviating one of the nations biggest challenges. It shows the generosity of the countries successful businesses and people as well as shedding light on those who were not. This should be interesting to both the autograph and paper collector as well as the historian. Though we have examined the collection we have not had the opportunity to examine each piece of paper for its content or autograph potential. We encourage any interested party to examine the collection and determine its content potential. CONDITION: Most letters are complete but have traces of annotations. There are rusted staple marks to the top margins and paper shows age of the time. 9-29382 (5000-10000)
