Broadway Cooler Nears New Record For Stoneware At Auction Crocker Farm Sells Masterwork For $480,000 By Karl Pass

FRIDAY JUNE 19, 2020 • VOL. 51, NO. 25

Revolutionary War Tomahawk Auctioned In Pennsylvania For World Record $664,200 Made By Future General Richard Butler While An Armorer At Fort Pitt (1765-70), Signed And Inscribed Tomahawk Was Carried To Battle By Lt. John McClellan A ca. 1765-70 Revolutionary War presentation pipe tomahawk made by future Army General Richard Butler and inscribed to Lieutenant John McClellan of the Pennsylvania Riflemen was sold by Morphy Auctions in Lancaster County, Pa., for a staggering $664,200, inclusive of buyer’s premium. It is a worldrecord auction price for any tomahawk.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1743, Butler moved with his family to Lancaster, Pa., at age 5. Around 1760, the Butlers relocated to the settlement of Carlisle, where his father worked as a gunsmith. The younger Butler apprenticed under his father at the gun shop, which still stands near the

Crocker Farm held an internet, phone, and absentee auction from April 6 to May 1, with a special live callback session on May 2 for lots that achieved a bid of $1,000 and over. The speciality auction company originally planned to hold its sale on March 21 at its facility in Sparks, Md. Among the highlights, and one of the most exciting pieces of American stoneware to ever sell at auction, was the “Broadway Cooler.” Recently discovered out West, the 26-inch-high seven-gallon stoneware water cooler with phenomenally detailed incised and impressed decoration of New York City’s Broadway, stamped twice, “W.H. FARRAR & CO. / GEDDES, N.Y.,” dated 1846, the ovoid cooler with stepped pedestal base, tall, flaring collar, and rope-twist handles was a new discovery to the world of pottery collectors. It sold for $480,000 (est. $100,000-$200,000) to New York state collector Adam Weitsman, underbid by a another collector. The cobalt-highlighted street scene design depicts the celebration of the Great National Jubilee of the Order of the Sons of Temperance, a fraternal organization founded on the principle of abstinence from alcohol in New York City

The extremely important and fine silver-mounted and inlaid presentation pipe tomahawk signed “R. (Richard) Butler” and inscribed to “Lt John Maclellan (sic.),” extensively exhibited, including at the Smithsonian and the Tower of London, depicted on the cover of “Indian Tomahawks & Frontiersman Belt Axes,” and in other reference books, sold on May 27 for $664,200 at Morphy Auctions. “Because of its historical importance and incomparable line of previous ownership, there was great interest in the tomahawk in the days leading up to the auction. We knew ahead of time that a couple of serious players would be competing for it,” said Morphy Auctions founder and president Dan Morphy. “There were six phone lines in use when the bidding opened at $240,000. It quickly escalated and was sold to an American buyer.” According to Morphy, the most important and best-known American tomahawk in existence, it was featured in the 2005 “Clash of Empires: The British, French & Indian War, 1754-1763,” an exhibition of French and Indian War items commemorating the 250th anniversary of the conflict. Exhibition stops included the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, the Canadian War Museum/Museum of Civilization in Ottawa, and The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Displaying extremely fine workmanship, the silver-mounted and inlaid tomahawk was hand-forged and signed by Richard Butler, a respected armorer at Fort Pitt (Pa.), between the years 1765-70. Butler’s daybook, which is held in Carnegie Library, gives a record of his time at Fort Pitt and lists the many pipe tomahawks he made.

town’s Court Square. In 1772, following his time at Fort Pitt, Butler was commissioned as a captain in the Pennsylvania Militia. Over time, he gained the trust of Native Americans in the region and, in partnership with his brother, conducted fur trading with the tribes and also provided gunsmithing services. In 1775, Butler left the Pennsylvania Militia and became an agent of Indian Affairs for the region. He strengthened relations with the Shawnee and Delaware Indians, signing a Treaty of Neutrality with them. In 1776, he was commissioned a major in the Continental Army’s 8th Pennsylvania Regiment. He fought with the riflemen at Saratoga and commanded the 9th Pennsylvania Regiment at Stony Point. Subsequently, he served as colonel of the 5th Pennsylvania regiment at Yorktown, and afterward remained in the Continental Army. In 1783, he was given an honorary promotion to brigadier general. He was one of five brothers who all served in the military and were known collectively as “The fighting Butlers.” Richard Butler was killed in 1791 at the Battle on the Miami River in Ohio.

Pook & Pook Sells Moyer Estate Items By Karl Pass Pook & Pook of Downingtown, Pa., held an online-only decorative arts auction on May 20 with a wide array of quality antiques, much of it from the Dennis and Linda Moyer estate. The auction house will hold a two-day catalog sale for the Moyer collection on Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11. Among the things sold were multiple lots of pottery, such as Stahl, Keyser, Breininger, and Seagreaves. One of the highlights of the regional pottery was a handbuilt redware dog by Jim Seagreaves, dated 1957, which brought $1,813. James Christian Seagreaves (1913-97), known as Jim to many, and his wife, Verna, lived in Breinigsville, Pa. Jim was exempted from the draft during World War II because his work at the Bethlehem Steel plant was considered essential to the war effort. Later, he was a machinist for Air Products and Chemicals Inc. prior to retiring in 1976. According to local historian Richard Orth, Seagreaves began experimenting with making redware pottery in the late 1940’s. Considered a revivalist craftsman, his work had a unique style, incorporating a thenmodern 1950s aesthetic

and early Pennsylvania German motifs and techniques. Seagreaves was known for his sgraffito decorating and use of bold, colorful glazes. He was especially known for his press-molded birds that were cast from original molds he created. Following his death, the majority of molds were destroyed so they could not be used again. Aside from the molded work, he was very skilled at creating hand-built work and throwing on the wheel. Among the rarer items he created were face jugs, fish whistles, and figural dogs, such as the one sold. Early in Jim’s potting career, he had a source for locally dug clay. Jimmy Epler dug clay for him in the 50’s in Fetherolfsville (Kempton) at the site of a short lived 19th century pottery. He signed work with his

A Short Look At The Market

By Karl Pass This June 19, Vol. 51, No. 25, issue marks our return following a period of not printing. At times, it has felt like an eternity and we are excited to return to print. Actually, we are thrilled to be back. To state the obvious, this ordeal has had far reaching ramifications for the art and antiques industry and trade as a whole. For the average antiques dealer, shop owner, auctioneer, or show manager, adaptation continues to be a must; you need to at least try if you wish to remain relevent, let alone solvent. “I think eBay has sustained us during the lockdown,” said shop owner Dan Trabosh. Along with his mother, they own the Hamburg Antique Center in downtown Hamburg, Pa. “It has also helped that we own our building outright,” he furthered. “I’m also doing some construction projects here while closed, but we are excited to reopen.” If not on the web before, the lockdown prompted several shop owners to take to the internet. A firm believer in print advertising and investing in her business, Penny Knight of the Brickerville Antiques Barn, north of Lititz, Pa., also uses Facebook to post photos of what her dealers have in the shop. “I had people inquire about and buy items seen in photos from Facebook

and would then arrange an appointment with them to safely pick up,” stated Knight. Knight’s shop is now open fulltime. Dealers who primarily rely on shows have certainly had to adapt. Full-time antiques dealer Francis Crespo of Lancaster, Pa., had averaged around 20 shows a year and has also sold on eBay since 1998. “I think eBay had lost a bit of its mojo over the years, but the reputable and honest dealers there were doing well during the stay-at-home period. Online sales have been strong for me,” commented Crespo. It is no surprise many people are shopping more from home because they had no choice. Collectors that have the means have not stopped buying. Some dealers have started Etsy stores as well and used other online shops such as Ruby Lane. The show front remains murky with few long range indicators. Some managers/promoters could possibly have the remainder of the calender year as a loss. It is unclear moving forward which ones will be able to be held. Major regional events such as the Kutztown Folk Festival will not take place. Of course, the popular Spring and Summer Brimfield shows were cancelled, and several innovative folks put on virtual shows in its place. The Antiques Dealers’ Association of America (ADA) had a wellreceived online show (keep an eye out for a recap in next week’s paper). Don’t be

appears in several other reference books. Commenting the day after the $2 million auction session, conducted May 27, and the success of the Butler/McClellan tomahawk, Morphy stated, “We’re extremely happy with the results of yesterday’s auction, which shows that the market is stronger than ever. It’s always exciting when a rare piece of history crosses the auction block, especially one that has passed through so many important hands and has been so well documented.” View the online catalog at www.morphyauctions.com.

The 1967 Ward Brothers Brandt decoy (far left) sold for $2,600 at Crumpton’s first online sale. Dixon’s Furniture Auction in Crumpton, Md., better known as simply “Crumpton” or to locals as “the sale barn,” is the latest among many businesses to adapt and take advantage of online opportunities necessitated due to social distancing and crowd size requirements. Founded in 1961, Crumpton has had to change over the years, yet mostly resembled its original self immediately prior to the current pandemic. Sales were held every Wednesday with the exception of a few holidays. The company specializes in low fees, no frills, and high volume. There is no moving or transportation department. Consignors bring their merchandise to the sale barn, set it up themselves, and auctioneers move swiftly via golf carts and mobile podiums through 2,000 to 3,000 lots every week. It is a regional institution, such as Brimfield. The closure of Crumpton reflected the national debate on balancing public health and economic security. On May 13, Governor Hogan announced that the State of Maryland would

move to Stage One of a reopening plan, and owner Dylan Dixon saw an opportunity. “This is an exciting time for Crumpton, as we move forward using technology to drive our vision. We can use this technology to bring together our sellers and estate liquidators by providing them a way to continue liquidating a large volume of merchandise. Making these changes has also allowed us to meet the needs of our current buyers and has expanded our local community’s ability to participate in the Crumpton experience. These changes are providing a more flexible experience for everyone,” said Dixon. Crumpton’s first auction back closed on May 20 and was led by a Ward Brothers Brandt decoy bringing $2,600. As a goodwill gesture to both consignors and bidders willing to try out the new changes, there was a 0-percent buyer’s premium and seller’s commission. Their second online-only auction featured over 900 lots ranging from chainsaws to country Americana. It went live May 30, and lots started to close at 10 a.m. on June 3.

jobless rates, and stock market declines, among other things. So, where does the market go? It will take a high-powered sale to get the marketplace buzzing. Pennsylvania collectors will want to watch the Linda and Dennis Moyer estate auction slated for July 10 and 11 at Pook & Pook. The pipeline of quality material is promising at other regional houses as well, such as Horst in Ephrata. And, regardless of it all, exquisite and important material is going to to be recognized in the marketplace, such as the presentation tomahawk made by Richard Butler at Fort Pitt (ca. 1765-70), which sold for an auction record $664,200 at Morphy Auctions on May 27. Renninger’s in Adamstown reopened June 7 and sold out of vendor spots. Extravaganza at the end of June won’t take place in typical fashion, but the dealer-friendly management will do something special. Don’t forget to support them and pick up a paper while there. Most of the co-ops in Adamstown have reopened. In summary, let’s remember how fortunate we are locally to live in a region so steeped in history and material culture. The pursuit of antiquing is obsolete in most parts of the country, at least the kind not in front of a computer screen.

Morphy Auctions sold by Morphy’s, was from the outskirts of Carlisle. He served with Company D of Thompson’s Battalion, Pennsylvania Riflemen, and carried the tomahawk with him to war. “Riflemen were required to carry tomahawks as secondary weapons, as their longrifles were not equipped for bayonets,” explained Morphy. The tomahawk’s extensive line of provenance includes the Earl of Warwick (Warwick Castle, England), who loaned the tomahawk for display at the Tower of London and other private collections in the United States and United Kingdom. It is depicted on the cover of “Indian Tomahawks & Frontiersman Belt Axes” and

surprised to see others, especially since the New Hampshire Antiques Show and others that make up Antiques Week in New Hampshire in August have cancelled. “The virtual Brimfield was really good. I added 150 followers that week and was pleased with sales,” furthered Crespo. The Brimfield events were on Instagram. A hashtag was given to each participating dealer for each show and at the opening time items were posted. If auction houses did not have the capabilities or material for exclusive online selling, they started. Pook & Pook in Downingtown, Pa., has held some of their sales onlineonly for quite a few years and has done well with them. The overall results from its recent two indicate a healthy level of consumer interest. Pottery specialists Crocker Farm, of Sparks, Md., recently tried a new business model. Due to COVID-19, they had to convert their March auction to a remote-only absentee sale. It was their highest grossing sale to date. “Dedicated collectors think about the material above all else. They want to pursue and have objects,” said Mark Zipp of Crocker Farm. A sector of the population with resources who care about history and antiques will pursue them, even in the midst of a pandemic resulting in economic uncertainty, high

in 1842, born out of a meeting held at 71 Division Street in a building called Teetotalers Hall. From 16 men primarily involved in the printing and publication trade, within five years the organization would boast over 60,000 contributing members nationally, broken up into a considerable number of local divisions. While Salina Division’s membership and

exact date of institution are unknown, based on its designated number, 86, the group came into existence in or about the fall of 1845, less than a year before the Jubilee. It seems likely that William H. Farrar was himself involved with the Salina Division. The cooler possessed several reglued repairs. For a full catalog and prices realized, visit www.crockerfarm.com.

impact of the virus. He, too, is concerned about contracting the virus and said he is in no hurry to open his retail gallery as a result. He has had an online presence for many years and does quite well via that venue. In conclusion, it doesn’t surprise me that most older people who started in the trade decades ago miss the face to face interaction that the antiques and collectibles market offers. It does, however, surprise me that so many younger people around my own age fear contracting the virus. My generation was the first to embrace online buying and selling as a whole. We helped adapt to eBay and Heritage Auctions the minute they became viable platforms. That said, I think it is very important to realize that even with record online auction participation at present time, not everyone prefers to do business via a computer screen and a text message. Perhaps if there is one thing we can learn from all of this is that the next time we meet in person, maybe we shouldn’t take that meeting for granted. That just may be the real lesson here. Until next time, please stay safe, and be kind.

changed to using “JCS” due to the fact a period potter (John Snyder of Mohrsville, Berks County) used “JS,” and he wanted to both stand alone and not take the risk of having pieces be mistaken for noncontemporary. The vast majority of his redware pottery is signed “JCS.” The standing dog figure that sold was signed and dated “JS” and “1957.” A collector friend has a pair of very similar dogs also “JS” and dated “1957.” The late dealer Mary Snyder of Reinholds once had a similiar dog. Verna (1913-2000) was a skilled folk painter but never produced her artwork on a prolific scale. She was a music teacher by profession, teaching in the Alburtis and East Penn School District, from which she retired. She was also the organist and choir director for 28 years at Zion

are quite competitive right now. My next contact was a Canadian friend in his late 30s. He has a passion for pop culture collectibles and loves vintage comic books, vintage toys, and video games. He lamented that he will miss going to flea markets and yard sales, but most of his selling and buying activities are done online. Ironically, as a fairly young man in his prime with no health issues, he said that the risk of contracting the virus meant it would take him awhile before he would venture out to any kind of flea market. My final contact was a lively eccentric man in his 40s who collects, deals, and has a passion for higher end contemporary art. He owns a business in New York City and was forced to close his retail gallery during the lockdown. He confessed that he doesn’t actually miss the day-to-day grind of selling to clients directly face to face but misses interacting at auction venues and with up-and-coming artists. His business is still booming online, and he relayed that most of his customers were not directly affected by the economic

Lehigh Church, Alburtis, and also for the Church of the Good Shepherd, Alburtis. She was a watercolorist for roughly 40 years. Self-taught Verna mainly worked in the Grandma Moses style of folk painting. Her work was exhibited in 1999 at the Historical Society of Berks County (now the Berks History Center). Like her husband’s, Verna’s artwork is known for the use of bold colors. She also assisted Jim in his pottery studio. She often signed pieces with her initials, “VAS,” and also “Verna.” The artistic couple married in 1941, first living in Alburtis, Pa., until 1961, and then moved to Breinigsville. Jim was a redware potter, and Verna, a painter. In 1966, the Seagreaves joined the Reading-Berks Chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsman. Their work is regionally collected today by those interested in Pennsylvania German arts.

trade. He knew me from way back, and I needed some advice on a rare coin I was planning on bidding on in the Central States Coin & Currency Auction hosted by Heritage Auctions. Since the show was canceled, the auction was still being held online courtesy of Heritage. The dealer, over the age of 65, lamented that this is the first year he will not be going to any major coin conventions, but did tell me that as soon as they open he will be there, regardless of the risk. For the next 20 minutes, he took the time to educate me about what the trade was like before online bidding and third party grading when people socialized and did business face to face. I was relieved when he told me that he would do me a favor and not bid on the coin I was inquiring about. In the end, I was somewhat surprised that a man at risk from complications of the virus was so eager to get back out to major coin conventions, and, spoiler alert, I did win the bid on that coin but had to pay a premium to get it due to increased online bidding activity as a result of the global quarantines.

not come as a surprise, but it fascinates me as to how wrong people are about what makes up these demographics. I once got into a heated debate with a younger collector who told me that traditional antiques were dying. I corrected the young collector and said that the market for traditional antiques does go through boom and bust cycles, but very few antique categories are dying. Younger people cannot afford investment grade antiques or rare coins, but they can afford most video games and other mass-produced pop culture collectibles, with some exceptions (side note: the market for graded vintage video games is in a massive speculative bubble right now, but prices will eventually find their equilibrium point). Ironically, I love when I get messages from my readers telling me that they discovered a love for collecting antiques, coins, firearms, or art while in their 40s, 50s, and, in some cases, their 60s. Going back to my connections while under quarantine, my first contact was a wellknown coin dealer with decades of experience in the

The current global pandemic has affected all of us in different ways. Perhaps you lost a job, were furloughed, or are now working from home for the very first time. For others, the pandemic was more personal. Perhaps you got sick, knew a loved one who did, or owned a business that had to close. According to the CDC, the people most at risk from the disease are individuals with a known or existing health issue and/or older populations. Residing in the great state of Pennsylvania and writing this article at the end of May, the county in which I live (Berks County) is under quarantine until sometime in June. I consider myself to be one of the lucky ones. I currently work from home, and my only inconvenience has been the quarantine itself. I conduct a lot of my collecting activities online, so the things I miss most are dining out and getting a hair cut. We won’t discuss the haircut issue because it has been

Nelson enjoyed traveling and joined friends on many trips to Europe, where he was able to pursue interests in British history and researching family roots in England.

Toilet Paper Shortage? Ten Fun Toilet Paper Facts

WANTED CONSIGNMENTS:

Coin Collections & US Stamps, Estate Rifles, Real Estate, On-Site Auctions. Scheduling Now! Rapid Payment.

Toilet paper hasn’t traditionally been a common topic of conversation, at least before the pandemic. Nearly every American uses it, several times a day, but few feel comfortable talking about it. But now that it can’t be found on store shelves, it has become a much more common discussion topic. Do some people actually “collect” toilet paper? There’s a collector for nearly everything, and toilet paper is no exception. Factor in all of the different manufacturers, brands, wrapper design changes, colors and textures, over many decades, there are literally thousands of variations to collect. Throw in the novelty text and pictures printed upon individual sheets, the number of collectibles increases exponentially. And that’s just U.S. toilet paper. Add in all of the international variations. Toilet paper actually represents a huge collecting universe. Until recently, there was even a Toilet Paper Museum in Madison, Wis., that housed

over 3,000 different rolls. Throw in political figures, America’s hated enemies (e.g., Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein,), holidays (e.g., Christmas, Valentine’s Day), and sports figures and teams (professional and college, in nearly all sports), the collecting options are endless. I’ll bet you don’t know that Aug. 26th is “National Toilet Paper Day” in the U.S. And I’ll bet you don’t know much of the historical background of toilet paper. So, here are 10 fun toilet paper facts that you might find interesting. 1. The first recorded use of toilet paper was in 6th century China, but it wasn’t mass produced in China until the 14th century. 2. Packaged toilet paper didn’t appear on U.S. store shelves until just before the Civil War in 1857. 3. It wasn’t until around 1935 that a U.S. manufacturer was able to produce “splinter free toilet paper.” (I’ll let you think about that.) 4. About 4,000,000 people (75 percent of the world’s population) still don’t use toilet paper today, primarily because they simply don’t

contemporary collectible rolls can sell for $1 to $5 each, while vintage rolls can sell in the $5 to $25 range, depending on maker, brand and age. So older is usually better. Thomas Crapper’s “W.C. Paper” (Water Closet Paper) can command even more. And World War II vintage Adolph Hitler toilet paper has been known to sell for upwards of $7 to $10 per sheet, framed.

William Bunch To Auction Historical Archive From Philadelphia Family Of Declaration Of Independence Signatory Francis Hopkinson Ten Generation “Time Capsule” Of Early American History Includes Lock Of George Washington’s Hair, Rembrandt Peale Portraits, Photos Of Civil War Generals

Liberty Bell, is steeped in political, military and social history. Its cobblestone streets, 18th-century buildings and revered educational institutions bear the names of prominent families whose oriPhiladelphia, America’s gins date back to Colonial first capital and home to days. One such Philadelphia Independence Hall and the family, the Hopkinsons, can count amongst its illustrious ancestors the patriot and Declaration of Independence signatory Francis Hopkinson (1737-91). A lawyer, judge, author, composer, merchant and holder of many high public offices, Francis Hopkinson is also distinguished for having designed Continental paper money, the first United States coin, and early versions of the American Flag. Now, 300 years after Francis Hopkinson’s birth, his The Ida Waugh (American, 1846-1919) portrait of Thomas Hopkinson (170951), after the original 1746 portrait of the subject by Robert Feke (1705-50) presently in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, measures 50-by-40 inches (sight), (est. $4,000-$8,000).

These Rembrandt Peale (American, 1778-1860) portraits of Richard Colgate Dale Jr. (1810-76) and Elizabeth Woodruff Dale, both oil-on-canvas, signed “Rembrandt Peale 1857,” each measure 30.75-by-25 inches (sight), include exhibition labels from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and are in carved and gilded frames, (est. $10,000-$20,000).

“Love Is Enough,’ by William Morris, Kemscott Press, one of 300, dates from Dec. 11, 1897. The estimate will be $2,000-$4,000. direct descendants have chosen to auction a treasured multigenerational family archive of Americana, documents, fine art and books that had long been stored away in 25 large steamer trunks. William Bunch Auctions of Chadds Ford, Pa., will conduct the auction on Tuesday, June 23, simultaneously through four different bidding platforms. In-person gallery bidding will not be permitted. The Hopkinson consignment is completely fresh to the market. “The Hopkinson descendants who consigned the goods provided an extremely helpful inventory of the trunks’ contents, but we

The lot is accompanied by a Limoges trinket box with crowned “N.” substantial lock of George Washington’s (1732-99) hair framed and encased in an ornate gilt metal locket. Two applied notes of provenance on verso indicate that the hair was “Cut by Mrs. Oliver Wolcot (sic) at her house 4th & Spruce Sts. Phila 1798” and that the memento was specifically for “Mrs. Jos. Hopkinson.” The circumstances and individuals involved shine a light on the status of the Hopkinson family, since the Wolcotts were socially prominent

Philadelphians and, at a dinner party at their home, Washington either offered or agreed to have a lock of his hair cut specifically for Mrs. Hopkinson, who may not have been present at the time. “Washington obviously thought very highly of both the Hopkinsons and the Wolcotts. In fact, Washington appointed Oliver Wolcott Jr. to succeed Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury,” stated Bunch. “We conducted extensive research that Continued on page 11

It belonged to Hopkinson family friend Joseph Bonaparte (1768-1844), the Count de Survilliers, former King of both Naples and Spain, and brother to Napoleon Bonaparte. Clipped on July 20, 1832, the day Bonaparte returned to Europe from the United States, the hair is framed and encased in a decorative gilt metal locket with an applied note of provenance on verso. Its estimate is $1,000-$2,000. Bonaparte’s snuffbox, estimated at $400-$600, is accompanied by a handwritten note stating it was made in Naples for Charles III, subsequently used by Charles IV, then Bonaparte. It is offered together with a Limoges trinket box adorned with a crowned “N.” The collection also features important artworks, including a pair of 1857 Rembrandt Peale (American, 1778-1860) portraits. The subjects are Richard Colgate Dale Jr. (1810-76), a surgeon, military officer and Master Mason, and his wife, Elizabeth Woodruff Dale. Each portrait is signed and dated and measures 30.75-by-25 inches (sight). Exhibition labels from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts are affixed to the backs of their carved and gilded frames.
