PAIR OF FINE AND RARE PAINTED LEATHER FIRE BUCKETS FROM THE COLEMAN FAMILY OF NANTUCKET MASSACHUSETTS TOGETHER WITH DOCUMENTS OF CAPTAIN HENRY COLEMAN.

19th century, Nantucket, Massachusetts. The matched pair of leather fire buckets marked “J-COLEMAN 1821 NO. 1. AND NO. 2”. Each in an original green-gray paint with brick-red trim and black leathering. We believe these fire buckets belonged to John Franklin Coleman 1788-1863 of Nantucket. Additionally, a treasury department document from the Office of General Superintendent U.S. Life-Saving Service to Captain Henry Coleman of Nantucket dated Sept 27, 1889. The letter acknowledges the donation of a parcel of land to be used as a site for a life-saving station at Great Neck, Nantucket Island. A second document, a ships manifest agreement for the schooner Sacremento. This document declares the names of six members of the crew aboard the schooner on a voyage from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands and return. Signed and dated November 6, 1850 and addressed to Captain Henry Coleman. SIZE: Fire buckets: 14″ h x 8-1/2″ dia. PROVENANCE: From the Mayhew-Pinkham-Coleman Family Estate of Nantucket, Massachusetts. These families and their descendants were a part of the original families on Nantucket Island, with roots in the 17th century. CONDITION: The fire buckets retain original paint, handles are present but detached, wear and abrasion throughout. Each of the 2 documents are legible and in fair to good condition. The ships manifest with areas of insect damage to paper, not in areas of text. 50779-2 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 2346
