Please Note: There is a typographical error in our catalog description. The spelling of the foundry inscribed in the bronze is “Alexus” The Alexis foundry was renown for the quality of its work, and was the choice for many leading artists of the day. We were made aware of this discrepancy very recently. Upon further investigation and discussions with our experts, we believe this to be a “casting” error that is not uncommon from the time of creation. We will guarantee its authenticity as described in our conditions of sale.
PAUL HOWARD MANSHIP (American, 1885-1966) “INDIAN HUNTER AND HIS DOG”.
Bronze Inscribed on center top of base “1926 Paul Manship”. Inscribed on side of base “Alexis Rudier Fondeur Paris” According ot Janis Conner & Joel Rosenkranz Indian Hunter and His Dog was one of the sculptor’s most popular and widely recognized sculptures. It is also one of the few that is not based on mythology but rather takes its inspiration in part from Manship’s recollections of his childhood in Minnesota. “Indian Hunter and His Dog is a fluid, subtly naturalistic work whose sophisticated triangular composition has much in common with the Diana and Actaeon groups.” (Rediscoveries in American Sculpture: Studio Works, 1893-1939, Austin, Texas, 1989, page 148. Manship was commissioned to install a life-size version of Indian Hunter and His Dog at Cochran Memorial Park in Manship’s home town of Saint Paul, MN. It is believed that 12 examples of his 21″ version were made. 8 examples are known to be in institutions. The last one to come to the auction market was in 2013 at Sotheby’s, New York, 12/4/13, lot 36 and sold for $1,565,000 (incl. premium).

Bronze Signed atop rock “Gutzon Borglum” “Susse Fondeur, Paris” on edge of base REFERENCE: Plate 60 & 61 on pages 68 & 69 of “Bronzes of the American West” by Patricia Janis Broder, 1974 In describing this bronze, Broder states “Gutzon was greatly influenced by the art of Rodin. From his study of Rodin sculpture, he developed a feeling for sculptural mass and texture. The roughness of surface gave viewers an understanding of the spontaneity of creation. The impressionistic technique produced a harmony between the power of the raw material and the artistic skill of the sculptors hand. However thoroughly he made his preparatory studies of a subject, Gutzon worked rapidly with great energy and thus retained the original vitality and freshness of expression.” SIZE: 16-1/2″ h x 20″ l PROVENANCE: Alice Osofsky (1913-1994) Garden City, Long Island, NY; Donated to a private CT museum in the late 1960’s by Alice Osofsky for a collection of Tiffany Studio glass & lamps; De-accessioned from a private CT Museum (name withheld by request).

Goldtone Housed in a contemporary wood frame Signed lower left “Copyright 1904 E S Curtis” NOTE: According to Cardozo’s website this goldtone was produced using Curtis’s original plate and being a limited edition made by Cardozo Fine Arts. “Canyon de Chelly (pronounced “chay”, after the Navaho “Ta Sh_”) was one of the most sacred places for the Navaho and remains so to this day. It is located in Northeastern Arizona in the heart of Navaho country. Of Curtis’ 50,000 negatives this is considered to be one of his ten most important and powerful. The insignificance of man relative to nature is clearly illustrated through the sheer size (approximately 1,000 feet high) of enduring cliff formations that surround the riders. Canyon de Chelly is regarded as Curtis’ single most popular goldtone today and the contemporary Goldtone captures the subtleties and richness of the original negative in a way that was impossible a hundred years ago.” SIZE: Image: 18″ x 22″.

12-STAR CONFEDERATE EXCLUSIONARY FLAG.
There are a handful of flags of this configuration thought to represent twelve Confederate states, at least two are identified to North Carolina, this one is interesting in that the canton rests on the red “war stripe”. There is little written on exclusionary flags, but there are a good many in private collections and institutions. This flag is totally machine sewn, made of wool bunting and 2-1/4″ machine sewn stars. The writing on hoist “P WHITTINGTON” and “1YD AMERICAN” of unknown meaning. Flag with a 2-1 ratio which is typical for early 1861 Civil War era flags. SIZE: Flag: 17″ x 35″. Frame: 23″ x 42″. PROVENANCE: The Timothy Gallagher Collection. CONDITION: Very good overall. Good colors. Not examined outside of archival frame. 51371-3 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2016

FINE AND RARE ARCHIVALLY FRAMED 13-STAR CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG, TAKEN AS WAR TROPHY BY MAINE SOLDIER, RARE SMALL COMPANY SIZE.
All cotton, all hand-sewn fine early homemade Confederate “Stars and Bars” flag measures 17-3/4″ on the hoist by 22-1/2″ on the fly, with double appliqued stars in an interesting shape of eight 1.25″stars in circle, with central star and stars in each corner of canton. The hoist edge which is folded 3/16″ shows 3 holes apparently made by tacks attaching it. Thirteen Star Confederate flags are rare and typically made early war as thirteen slave states were envisioned by most Southerners as the Confederacy. This first national pattern known as the “Stars and Bars”: were 7 stars, representing the first seceding states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. Each time a new state was added, an additional star was added: on April 17, 1861 Virginia’s star was added, on May 6th Arkansas, on May 7th, Tennessee, and on May 20, 1861, North Carolina became the eleventh Southern state to secede. Kentucky and Missouri are represented by these last two stars. There is a modern plaque in the frame that says the flag was taken to Maine as a War trophy, the circumstances of its capture and history are lost however and we cannot be certain where this information was from. Accompanying report from Textile Preservation Associates is provided with dye analysis and particulate material sampling from fibers is written by Fonda Thomsen, Sept. 4, 1999 showing good evidence of it being used in battle as remnants are black powder were found among the particulate collected during conservation. Her report is available online. SIZE: Overall: 24-1/2″ x 29-1/2″. CONDITION: The archival board in frame was cut out behind the canton so the reverse stars can be seen as well as the front. Colors are very good, overall flag is sound and solid with no discernible reductions. 51584-1 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2020

MAGNIFICENT ARCHIVE OF CONFEDERATE SECRETARY OF NAVY STEPHEN R. MALLORY, INCLUDING UNIQUE APPOINTMENT SIGNED BY JEFFERSON DAVIS FROM DIRECT FAMILY DESCENT.
Archive includes oil on canvas portrait of Mallory as a young man, in its original gilded frame; Mallory’s bound diaries were transcribed when donated to the Southern Historical Collection at the Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The diary is typed from his original diaries, with two carbon copies. Each copy and original are hand bound and these three copies were retained within the family. The appointment is unique and extraordinarily rare. This is the only appointment signed by Confederate President Jefferson Davis we are aware of, to any cabinet member and the document is totally done in calligraphy with the applied embossed seal of “PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA”. Not only does Jefferson Davis sign the document; he does so in an especially large, bold 6″ autograph. The document is also signed by William M. Browne as Secretary of State, who later became a Confederate general and was only acting Secretary of State for a few days in March of 1862. Doubtful any other document exists with Browne signed as “Secretary of State”. Also in family is a small circa 1820-30 French or Mexican sword with regimental markings most likely 2nd Battalion, Cadiz Regiment. This particular sword was carried by battalion skirmishers or flankers as per French regulations of the era which the Mexicans followed. We are not sure how the Mallory family obtained this sword, but appears of the era that would have seen the Texas revolution and the Alamo. Stephen R. Mallory (1812-1873) had a long and illustrious record of political service, most famously known as the Confederate Secretary of the Navy under President Jefferson Davis March 4, 1861 – May 2, 1865. Mallory served in many posts prior to and after the Confederacy. He was elected Senator from the state of Florida in 1850. Mallory, in his time in the Senate, was the prominent Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs. This was a time of rapid Naval reform and he insisted that ships of the United States Navy should be the best in the world. Mallory was born in Trinidad, British West Indies in 1812. His family moved to the United States and settled in Key West, Florida in 1820. He joined the army and fought in the Seminole War in Florida, 1835-1837. The sword in this lot could have some connection to the Seminole War era if indeed the sword was actually Mallory’s and not another family member’s. Mallory held several minor political posts until becoming Senator in 1850; a post he held until secession in 1861. There is much written and published on Mallory’s thoughts on the Navy in this time frame. After the Civil War Mallory was imprisoned along with Jefferson Davis and was among the few in the Confederate Government to be charged with treason against the United States. It was not until March 10, 1866 that President Andrew Johnson granted Mallory a “partial parole”; though Mallory was no longer in jail, he was required to stay with his daughter in Bridgeport, CT. It was not until June of 1866 that Mallory was paroled and allowed to return to Florida. By the terms of his parole he was not permitted to hold public office. He practiced law in Pensacola until his death in 1873 and is buried at St. Michael’s Cemetery in Pensacola. PROVENANCE: Direct family of descent Stephen R. Mallory. CONDITION: The appointment is framed and the exposed area measures about 15-3/4″ x 12″. Ink is all dark and discernible, though paper has yellowed and is cracked at folds. There is one hole approximately 1/4″ on mid-right quadrant among the flourishes of the fancy calligraphic Davis name. The applied seal is only partially discernible in embossing, but enough to know in part it reads “PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT…CONFEDERATE STATES”. The central device, in which embossing is also weak, is a scroll with only one word partially discernible “CONSTITUTIONAL”. Bound diary transcriptions are sound, complete, each with laid in early photographic copies of a few post war portions of manuscript. One of these notes written from Ft. LaFayette to his son is quite poignant as he thinks of Jefferson Davis still incarcerated by the US government (he would not be released for another two years) “Poor fellow, his hard fate is truly appreciated by me. I never was, & never could be a “hero worshiper”, though my sympathy and regard to my friends are ardent; and I think that I do not arrogate too much to myself when I say that I can speak of them all fairly and justly, “nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice”…This important defensive armor is habitually worn by Mr. Davis. Where & when he acquired it, whether among his Indian friends of the frontier, or among Christian hypocrites…” Book bindings have insect damage, but are overall good. Oil on canvas is 14″ x 12″ on original stretcher in original gesso gilt frame. Scattered in-paint throughout and uneven application of coaching varnish. Gesso design also has small areas of repair. Sword is 22″ overall, with 17″ rusted and pitted fullered blade. 51416-1 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2021

RARE ANTEBELLUM POSSIBLY CONFEDERATE USED IVORY HANDLED SURGICAL TOOL KIT, RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN THE WALLS OF A TENNESSEE HOME.
Large circa 1850 4-tier ivory handled George Tiemann surgical kit which includes large tourniquet, amputation saw, Hays saw and trephine for brain surgery. Kit retains two small scalpels and two large scalpels with removable handle. Still in kit are bone brush and a very scary looking trocar with silver sheath. This kit was recently found in the walls of an antebellum home near Maryville, Tennessee and was thought to be possibly used by a Confederate surgeon. Special Note: This item(s) contains plant or animal properties that may be covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We have taken care to ensure that this item(s) meets the standard for sale under the ESA. However, certain states and other countries have laws that are more restrictive than the ESA. It is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure that it is lawful to purchase or transport this item(s) into their state, and to obtain the necessary import and export approvals. Delay or failure to obtain any such permit or approval does not relieve the buyer of paying for the item(s) and consummating the purchase. CONDITION: Just over 20 tools remain and average very good condition, many retaining much of their original luster. Tools made by Tiemann in ivory are quite rare and quite early. This kit dates circa 1840-1850 and the ivory tools have no restoration and are original to when they were made over 150 years ago and are exempt from Federal guidelines concerning African ivory as these are “certifiably antique”. Casing is sound and solid, unfortunately missing the ID plaque in the mahogany veneered lid which would have identified the surgeon. Kit is missing numerous tools as can be seen in photographs, but retains several of rarer examples as noted. Partitions have soiling, small breaks and missing pieces, but still function and fit well. Several of the smaller tools are not Tiemann marked but appear original to time of use. 51116-1 (2,000-3,000) ESA – Lot 2023

Please Note: A noted expert in this field states that he dug an 1824 Serial #1 Fisher. So tag number 12 is not the only Serial #1, however is a much finer example and not excavated.
EXCEPTIONAL AND FINEST COLLECTION OF RAREST VARIETIES OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, “SLAVE HIRE” OCCUPATIONAL TAGS 1800-1864 INCLUDING SEVERAL UNIQUE EXTREME RARITIES.
Charleston, South Carolina, was the only city in the antebellum South to issue these tags or badges which had to be worn by any slave that was “hired out”. Each year a slave owner who hired out a slave had to pay a tax and the slave had to wear a brass “Slave Tag” proving the tax had been paid. The greater the skill and training required, the higher the tax. Charleston slave tags were authorized from 1800 up to the Civil War with the last badges made in 1865. We have offered several great groupings of slave tags in past auctions, but now offer, undoubtedly, the only complete collection of rare slave trades including the finest and only 1800 Huckster known. This badge is unique. Also included is the ultra-rare Carpenter of which no more than 4 or 5 examples are extant. Also in this grouping is the only known serial number “1” badge known and it is a pristine, non-excavated 1864 dated Mechanic. All badges in this collection are in very good to excellent condition with no repairs and all complete. All of these badges were family heirlooms or souvenirs excavated around various sites around Charleston and all with exception of 1864 serial number “1” Mechanic are of the earlier large varieties that are the most difficult to find. Slave Badges and the Slave-Hire System in Charleston, South Carolina, 1783-1865 by Harlan Greene, Harry S. and Brian E. Hutchins, 2004 is a wonderful, scholarly text that explains the quantities and makers of each badge and the census of known examples. All badges are authentic, original, and collected by a leading numismatics authority over a 30 year period. Almost all are maker marked and the other badges are noted as to maker as documented in the Greene/Hutchins text. Quoted portions of badge descriptions are from their text: 1) 1800 octagonal “HUCKSTER” No. 49. 1800 is the first year that badges were made which had to be worn at all times by new Charleston law. Few badges from this date are known and as noted this is the only known Huckster and it is maker marked “Atmar”. Ralph Atmar, Jr., a jeweler, was the first manufacturer of slave hire badges for the city of Charleston. No other city had such strict regulations and no other city required slaves to wear badges. The original ordinance published September 3, 1799 in the City Gazette stated the following: “Denomination” and price of said badges are as follows: Huckster, not under 30 years of age, $6 per badge. Mechanic, $3. Porters and Cart and Drayman, $2. Fishers and hired servants $1. These indeed were the categories and prices established by the ordinance. The terms in the press give us clues as to what the words on the badges were: “Huckster”, “Mechanic”, “Porter”…..” This unique badge was totally unknown to the trade until now. Two other Hucksters are known, both dated 1803, one of which is in the historic Charleston Confederate Museum at 188 Meeting Street. 2) 1810 octagonal “FISHER” No. 28. Another rare badge which is rarely offered. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso. John Joseph Lafar was the official badge maker for the City of Charleston for about 20 years. He owned slaves and also served as City Marshal from 1818-1830, a total of 656 badges were made in 1810 of all types. The survival rate on slave badges is extremely low. For instance, even though 644 badges were made in 1808 and 1809, no examples are known. During the Civil War, copper for these badges was so scarce that it was advertised for by manufacturer to buy old copper, no doubt many old badges which had no value to their owners now were recycled. 3) 1813 octagonal “CARPENTER” No. 35. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso and few Carpenter badges were made. Based on the great rarity of this particular trade, there are only 4 or 5 Carpenters known, one being 1811 and the others being 1813. The highest serial number noted is “69”. 4) 1815 diamond “FRUITERER & c” No. 74. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso and few Fruiterer badges are known. Fruiterer is a very unusual occupation by today’s terms and was not a fruit picker but actually a vendor. Lafar is unique in his badges that he added “& c”. Earlier badges had Fruiterer only. “It shows the confusing arising from the term, for a Fruiterer sold more than fruit”. 5) 1818 square “PORTER” No. 604. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso. Porter was the 2nd most common of slave hire badges made, but this is a fine example from an early year where the shape had been changed to square instead of diamond. 6) 1819 diamond “PORTER” No. 583. This badge is also made by Lafar, and note the change from 1818 back to a diamond shape. 7) 1823 diamond “SERVANT” No. 1328. This badge is maker marked “JJ Lafar” on obverse. This particular Lafar mark is scarce and only occurred for a few years. “It is estimated that only 1,261 badges were sold (1823) and that number of slaves were hired out, a great decrease from the year before, suggesting that the Denmark Vesey Rebellion, and fear of those slaves that hired their time, might have an impact on the practice in the year after the dramatic events. One slave who had an 1823 badge was “Mary”, a washer woman on the green. Her badge is No. 471, her owner stated in an ad seeking her return (Courier, March 26, 1823)”. 8) 1824 square “MECHANIC” No. 24. This badge, like the last, is maker marked on the obverse “JJ Lafar”. Mechanic badges are among the rarer badges found and this is the first of 3 fine, rare examples in this collection. 9) 1825 diamond “SERVANT” No. 1013. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on obverse and has a beautiful copper patina, well struck with excellent markings. Servant badges were the most common badges made and this is a fine representative of an early example. 10) 1828 square “MECHANIC” No. 219. This badge is the last year that Lafar marked his badges and this badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso. Lafar continued to make badges, though he no longer marked them with his name. All Mechanic badges are very scarce and this is a great example with a most unusual associated document. The document also dated 1828 (April 1st), is a Charleston Bill of Sale of two slaves “Sambo and Carolina”, both bricklayers who would have been required to wear a Mechanic slave tag when working in Charleston. 11) 1836 diamond “MECHANICK” No. 357. This badge is in remarkable, beautiful condition with a beaded border around misspelling or colloquial “Mechanick”. This badge was made by William M. Rouse. “William M. Rouse had been selected, perhaps because of his low bid (Courier, November 18, 1835)…estimates are that 3707 badges were sold for 1836”. Later badges by Rouse had Mechanic spelled correctly. 12) 1864 diamond “MECHANIC” No. 1. This is the only serial number “1” badge of any type for any year and is exceedingly rare. This badge was made by William Veronee and was the last contracted slave badge maker in Charleston. Less than 1,500 badges total were made during the last 2 years of the Civil War and very few have surfaced. Scarcity of brass for these badges is noted in that “many if not all badges from these years show striking on both sides, a practice carried out by Veronee”. This is a beautiful rarity with an impeccable surface. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. All badges have well discerned markings including cartouches, serial numbers, dates, occupations and makers marks. Badges have varying surfaces from quite smooth to pitted. 51563-1 (90,000-125,000) – Lot 2024

RARE & IMPORTANT NAVAL OFFICER’S SWORD OF COMMODORE MATTHEW PERRY ON HIS FIRST VOYAGE OF THE “OPENING OF JAPAN”.
This most important, historic sword is among the earliest regulation Model 1852 US Navy officers swords known. Also, as far as we are aware this is the only sword known to have belonged to Commodore Perry. There are volumes of research materials accompanying this sword, including letters from sword authority and historian John Thilmann explaining the French makers marks, dating manufacture to 1850-1855. Commodore Perry is shown in an engraving published in the London Illustrated News, May 7, 1853, which was taken from a contemporary daguerreotype whose presence is currently unknown which should clearly show the details of this exact sword. Renown historian and genealogist Nancy D. Rossbacher writes a compelling treatise on the sword and its inscription found on drag “THIS SWORD WAS ONCE THE PROPERTY OF MATTHEW G. PERRY, COMMODORE USN / WHO CONDUCTED THE SKILLFUL NEGOTIATION WHICH OPENED JAPAN TO FOREIGN / COMMERCE IN 1854 – PRESENTED TO ADELPHOI LODGE, A.F. & A.M. No. 33RI / FEBRUARY 7 1882.” The Adelphoi Lodge of ancient free and accepted Masons came into existence in Providence, Rhode Island in 1876. Perry had also lived in Newport, Rhode Island and is buried there. From the start, the Lodge aimed to be unlike others as its members were political movers and shakers, well connected men in industrial pursuits and finances, a proper home form the sword of Commodore Perry who made many industrialists rich. Commodore Matthew Perry (1794-1858) was a lifelong naval man. He first went to sea at age 15 under the command of his older brother, Oliver Hazard Perry, a hero of the War of 1812 and American icon like his brother. During the Mexican War, Commodore Perry commanded the largest American naval force and became an advocate for steam engines. Perry became known as “THE FATHER OF THE STEAM NAVY”. Perry’s greatest accomplishment began in 1850 when he proposed a plan for diplomatic missions to Japan. In 1853, Perry sailed on the USS Mississippi heading the expedition to Japan. He carried official Presidential letters to negotiate a treaty with the Japanese. Japan had not opened it borders regularly to any Western nation in more than 200 years. Perry’s report that followed made him a world wide hero in the Western world. He also became well known in Japan and his images in contemporary wood cuts are well known. There are monuments commemorating Perry’s opening of Japan both in the US and Japan. Commodore Perry’s opening of Japan has been revisited in a fabulous MIT 2008-2010 project titled “BLACK SHIPS AND SAMURAI”. Perry’s extensive biography and research notes accompany this lot. PROVENANCE: Commodore Matthew Perry, 1852-1853; Adelphoi Lodge, 1882; Mike Custodia (Providence, RI Estate Sale), 2009; Sotheby’s Lot #94, June 11, 2013. CONDITION: Fine “as found”. Sword retains much of its original gilt on hilt and mounts. 29″ blade retains most of its original luster with fine etched patriotic naval motifs as can be seen in photos. Sharkskin grip is complete with wear to high surfaces. Scabbard body is sound and solid, showing light shrinkage, crazing and light cracking. Inscription is impeccable and easily read. 51339-1 (25,000-50,000) – Lot 2026

FABULOUS CIVIL WAR ERA SILK EMBROIDERED CAVALRY FLAG AND SWORD OF CAPTAIN GEORGE ALEXANDER HOTMER, SQUADRON B, 3RD REGIMENT CAVALRY, NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARD.
This beautiful piece of folk art is all silk embroidered, measuring 47″ x 29″ in old wooden frame. Flag design shows mounted Civil War officer on horse with flourishing swords, as to be rallying troops to battle. The officer is most likely Captain Hotmer himself, as he is wearing regulation Civil War dress, a fabulous Hardee hat with crossed saber insignia and Captain’s shoulder straps. Captain Hotmer’s sword is a Model 1850 Officer’s Sword with rare silver grip and sharkskin scabbard, with fine relief detail. Two small accompanying framed,inked signs state that the sword was used by Captain George Alexander Hotmer during the Civil War and that the flag was made by Francisca Kline and presented to the Captain by the Ladies of the Squadron in August 1867. A quick search of Civil War databases was found to mention Hotmer several times in New York City, 1866-1868, in charge of Squadron B, 3rd Regiment, NYNG Cavalry. CONDITION: Flag is very good overall with bright colors, small areas of staining appear to be on the inside of the frame’s glass. The flag is folded around a piece of board. On the backside of the framed piece, the overhung portions of blue field of flag are quite fragile and fractured with old paper tape holding it in place. Accompanying sword appears “as found” with sharkskin scabbard, missing middle mount and drag. 32″ blade has easily discerned patriotic etched panels and William Horstmann agent mark. Retaining some original polish, but mostly grey with scattered rust and pitting. Scabbard body has shrunk with several folds and reduction. 51299-1 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 2027

EXTREMELY RARE IDENTIFIED 9-BUTTON FROCK AND TROUSERS OF PRIVATE DAVIS NATHAN HOSMER, 45TH MASSACHUSETTS, DIED NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA, 1863.
Rarely do you find such fine groupings directly descended from family with nice inked ID and family notes relating to the various objects in this archive. Davis mustered into service as a private on September 17, 1862, serving with the 45th Massachusetts in Company F until he died of Typhoid at Stanley Hospital in New Bern, North Carolina on February 10, 1863. Ironically, Davis had four brothers who also died during the Civil War, including a brother Nathan Davis Hosmer who died the same year and is buried in the Military National Cemetery in Baton Rouge. Archive includes his regulation 9-button enlisted frock, sky blue regulation trousers which both have his inked name and unit ID. The coat is better than average quality with some quilting and possible tailor’s name “G.F.Hegan” inked into left sleeve lining. Also included, infantry hat insignia, a linen towel, silk handkerchief, a pair of wool mittens, all bearing his name or initials in ink or stencil. There is a 4-piece keyed fife with maker’s mark “C. PELOULET / NEW-YORK”. Parts of a sewing kit and an old pair of blue lens eyeglasses and case. A scrap of newspaper found in one tail pocket has a partial article telling of the presentation of the regimental colors of the 45th. Also included are two partial wool cuffs and tabs from Davis’s regulation great coat. PROVENANCE: Direct descent from family. CONDITION: Frock and pants show considerable moth tracking with several holes and old family attempts of repair. The 9 buttons on coat appear original and are Scoville maker marked. Hat insignia is missing one loop. Fife has old string repairs, but would display nicely (at least one of Davis’ brothers was a Civil War musician). Wool knit gloves with Davis’ initials have severe mothing as can be seen in photos. Silk handkerchiefs and linen towel with his name are both very good, as are most of the other bits and pieces accompanying this lot. 51219-1 (5,000-7,000) – Lot 2028

THREE CIVIL WAR SWORDS OF BREVET BRIG GENERAL CHARLES A R DIMON, LATER MAYOR OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS.
These three officer’s swords are “as found” with dark patinas, apparently once burned in a fire, but metal is intact with restored leather grips. The two foot officer’s swords are both made and maker marked by Christopher Roby of West Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Both Roby foot officer’s swords have 18-19″ long etched panels with the unique, classic patriotic etchings Roby was famous for. Etched panels include cannon, panoply of arms, flags, eagles and floral motifs. The third sword is a German import listed by Peterson in American Swords as non-reg officer’s sword. This sword with iron basket has cut-out eagle with ribbon “E Pluribus Unum” and large “US”. The back-strap is inscribed “C. A. R. Dimon / Brevet Brig. Gen. / War of 1861-1865”. Charles Dimon (1841-1902) began service in the Civil War as a private in the 8th Massachusetts, rising through the ranks to Major of the 30th Massachusetts while under command of General Benjamin Butler in New Orleans and Vicksburg. Dimon was given an unusual command in September 1862 being in charge of the 2nd Louisiana Infantry which was made up of Louisiana loyalists and former Confederate prisoners of war. The 2nd Louisiana saw service at Port Hudson and was later sent to Ft. Rice, Dakota Territory, again with ex-Confederate soldiers to fight Indians. Dimon saw hard service the entire war and in many theaters and was Brevetted Brigadier General March 13, 1865. He later worked for General Benjamin Butler as Manager of the U S Cartridge Company in Lowell, Mass. and became the 37th Mayor of Lowell in 1901, dying in office in 1902. A file of biographical data accompanies. SIZE: 37″ to 38″ overall. CONDITION: Swords are sound and solid, though one sword is missing knuckle bow to pommel pin. Metal shows varying degrees of fire scale, etching is barely discernible on the P-75, but mostly discernible on the Roby’s. Grips are restored with leather washers like in the early 20th century style of American fighting knives. 51503-1 (800-1,200) – Lot 2029

EXTREMELY RARE WM HORSTMANN, PHILADELPHIA, CONTRACT MILITARY CIVIL WAR FORT FLAG WITH INKED ID ON HOIST.
This massive 34-star bunting flag was regulation between 1861-1863. The flag has name of two Johnson family members and two tags relating to other Johnson family members. One states: “SAVING FUND SOCIETY, GERMANTOWN, PA”. The Germantown Saving Fund Society was founded in 1854. A third tag states “CASTINE, MAINE” where the flag was consigned from. A good genealogist should probably be able to tie in the six different names associated with this flag, and possibly ascertain its use in Germantown, 1861-1863. Regardless, this is a beautiful, rare large American Civil War flag. SIZE: 11′ 6″ x 21′ 8″. CONDITION: Excellent aesthetics and color. Generally intact but with multiple areas of weakness resulting in pulling, small holes throughout from insect damage, general fading in area of stripes. Flag is mostly hand-sewn, but does have some machine stitching attaching hoist. 51019-1 (5,000-8,000) – Lot 2030

RARE SILK CIVIL WAR FLANK MARKER OF THE 42ND NEW YORK INFANTRY IN EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION.
Rarely do silk marker flags from the Civil War survive. This one obviously saw little use. According to consignor, a twin to this marker is somewhere in the New York State Archives in shredded condition. The 42nd New York Infantry was organized through the efforts of the Tammany Society and the Union Defense Committee of New York City. All ten companies of the regiment were recruited from the New York City area, gathered at Great Neck, Long Island and mustered into service in June of 1861. Since the unit was organized by the Tammany Society, and that a large percentage of the unit were members of the Tammany organization, the 42nd New York Infantry also became known as the Tammany Regiment. Another nickname of the unit was the Jackson Guards. Ordered to Washington D.C. the Tammany Regiment, 1019 men strong, left New York City on July 18, 1861. Throughout its three year enlistment, the 42nd New York fought in nearly every major battle of the Army of the Potomac, including Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Petersburg. The regiment lost 11 officers and 141 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded. The unit also lost 1 officer and 103 men to disease. PROVENANCE: Walter Budd Collection, 1988; The Elizabeth Troiano Collection. CONDITION: Bright colors, original ties. Very light fracturing to silk. 51538-1 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2031

RARE 13-STAR PATRIOTIC AMERICAN SHIELD.
Consignor believes this shield could be 18th century and from the Revolutionary War era and anything is possible, though hardwood back has an inked date of 1836, consignor feels this date may be commemorative. Regardless, this is a very old, beautiful piece of folk art with blue cotton field and cotton stars. Stars are attached with hand-stitched silk thread according to a University of Rhode Island Textile researcher, is consistent to potential 18th century construction. SIZE: Shield: 26-1/4″ t x 24-1/2″ w; stars are 3-1/2″. PROVENANCE: Collection of Elizabeth Troiano. CONDITION: Blue field exhibits good color with water staining, soiling, several reductions as can be seen in photos. Sharp edge wear at wood separates cloth, about 10″ on right side below stars.

EXTREMELY RARE AMERICAN MADE COLONIAL-REVOLUTIONARY WAR MILITARY AMERICAN FOWLER FITTED FOR BAYONET, DATED 1773, BY THOMAS EARLE WHO MADE A CUSTOM FOWLER FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON.
This rare and aesthetically pleasing American Revolutionary War era arm was presented quite accurately by earlier collector Professor Charles Thayer, University of Pennsylvania: “Perhaps the most famous New England arms maker of the Colonial-Rev. Period, Thomas Earle was personally commissioned by George Washington to make a custom fowler for the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. This is the subject of a detailed article in Man at Arms (Dec., 1997, v. 19, no. 6, p 19-29). The present offering is a rare opportunity to acquire a signed Earle fowler. There are only about half-a-dozen authentic examples known, and most of these are locked up in major collections and museums. Other New England fowlers use French components, but this one, like others by Earle, is 100% American. It is dated 1773 on its silver escutcheon, just two years before Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. British officers credited their American adversaries with effective long-range sniping using long fowlers like this one. Its military usage is obvious from the fact that it was altered to accept a bayonet, which accompanies it. This gun is a classic example of the “Worcester County” school, with its slender, graceful stock of cherry and typical “cloud”-form side-plate (See Tom Grinsdale’s book Flintlock Fowlers, pg. 60-65). George Washington had an extensive collection of personal arms; most were ordered from London. Clearly, the Commander-in-Chief considered Earle to be their equal. Washington’s Earle fowler has vanished. Of the handful that remain, this is the only one that is dated and the only one adapted to a bayonet. About half of the surviving Earle’s guns are stylistically of the 1780’s or so, too late for the momentous events of 1775. This gun has seen a great deal of honest wear, consistent with combat use. For example, the mainspring once slipped off the tumbler and split the wood under the rear of the lock. This was repaired with square nails during the gun’s working like. Like an old veteran, this gun wears its wounds with pride!” CONDITION: Old cracks restored as noted above. Brass and silver heavily worn from use such that details are light. Initials and date on thumbplate are barely discernible, but present. Wood overall has a hand worn patina. Only recent restoration noted is inset wood forward and under lock. Extremely rare, original American bayonet has matching patina beneath bayonet accoutrements and has been with gun a very long time as metal on barrel retains much of its original surface. Other metal surfaces of barrel and lock are overall brown/grey with pitting, especially around breech. 51268-1 (20,000-30,000) – Lot 2037
