Milestone’s Premier Military Auction To Be Led By D-Day-Flown American Flag from “First Wave” To Land At Omaha Beach

The 700-Lot Sale Set For June 29

American military history, from the Civil War through Vietnam, will be revisited and honored on Saturday, June 29, at Milestone’s Premier Military Auction, with all forms of remote bidding available in addition to in-person bidding at the gallery. Arguably the Ohio company’s finest offering of militaria to date, the 700-lot selection is led by a U.S. Navy D-Day archive whose centerpiece is a 48-star Ensign #10 American Battle Flag that was flown on LCI-538 during the “first wave” to land at Omaha Beach during the Invasion of Normandy, on June 6, 1944.

A near-sacred symbol of the coordinated effort in which the Allied Armies’ land, air and sea forces united to achieve the largest military invasion in history, the iconic flag was retrieved as a souvenir by Motor Machinist’s Mate First Class Frank R. Maratea, who was aboard LCI-538 during its landing. Maratea’s archive also includes a WWII U.S. Navy Commission streamer flag, his own Honorable Discharge and military papers, original photographs taken on Omaha Beach and on the deck of LCI-538, ephemera from the D-Day Landings 50th Anniversary Reunion (including a photo with then-President Bill Clinton), and more. This unique grouping of impeccably-documented mementos will cross the auction block with a pre-sale estimate of $40,000-$60,000.

The Omaha Beach West assault phase of “Operation Overlord,” the code name for the Battle of Normandy, was known as “Operation Neptune.” Among the auction highlights is a map of the area in and around the community of Vierville-sur-Mer, with landing plans and associated airborne plans for the D-Day invasion. The map is marked “TOP SECRET BIGOT.”

“BIGOT” being an acronym for “British Invasion of German Occupied Territory.” Carefully preserved for 80 years, the map is in mint condition and carries a $4,000-$5,000

estimate.

Milestone Auctions is especially honored to offer several significant items from the now-closed American Armoured Foundation Inc. Tank and Ordnance Memorial Museum of Danville, Va. With a mission to display and preserve as many tank and cavalry artifacts as possible, the 333,000-squarefoot museum’s core holding was the private collection donated by high-tech entrepreneur and military history expert William Gasser. Auction highlights with museum provenance include several remarkable uniforms.

First, there is the WWII Nazi German Waffen “named” SS general’s uniform that belonged to Fritz Kraemer, who was tried for war crimes and found guilty. The tunic’s collar tabs signify the rank of a group leader and lieutenant general of Waffen-SS. It is hand-embroidered in silver bullion thread, and its shoulder boards feature interwoven gold bullion and aluminum cords. The cufftitle is of a type worn by personnel serving with the 1.SSPanzer Division. The outfit consisting of the tunic, breeches, leather boots and gloves conveys with its suitcase and is expected to sell in the range of $20,000-$30,000.

Secondly, there is a complete “named” grouping of WWII Imperial Japanese Army Lt. General Tatsuji Ogura, who commanded the 127 Division in Manchuria during the final desperate months of the war. The archive includes the general’s complete dress uniform consisting of a frock coat with cased shoulder boards, Continued on page 8

Collector Anecdotes And Antics

“Star Wars” Auction Insanity:

By Shawn Surmick

On Friday, May 31, Heritage

Auctions concluded their “Star Wars” Signature Auction, and prices were definitely out of this world. This was one of several recent auctions that I planned to bid in but did not due to the insanity of some of the early bids entered before the auction got underway. If there is such a thing as “The Force,” it definitely was with both Heritage Auctions and the consignors of this auction to say the least!

The auction consisted of various graded toys and action figures from the coveted vintage Kenner “Star Wars” toy line, along with various production props, posters, and even vintage graded Topps “Star Wars” trading cards. The spotlight piece in the auction that every vintage “Star Wars” collector was watching was the highly coveted “Star Wars” prototype rocket-firing Boba Fett action figure (lot #89154). This was a hand-painted L-slot version and was graded by AFA (Action Figure Authority) in AFA 60 (excellent condition). The piece did not disappoint and is now the most valuable action figure ever sold at auction, selling for $525,000, which includes the 25-percent buyer’s premium that Heritage charges for this particular auction on lots selling for under $1 million.

Please don’t bother checking if you have a prototype rocket-firing Boba Fett action figure stashed away in your attic or basement, as these are just as the name implies, prototype action figures that were never available at retail. Nonetheless, they are quite popular with collectors. I always thought they were somewhat overvalued due to how many different variations have been sold over the past few years. To be fair, the handpainted L-slot version that was sold here is a much more uncommon variant. As such, this particular sale did not cause me to roll my eyes in utter amazement. However, other sold pieces in this same auction did just that. Let’s take a look at some of those results.

Proving that some collectors either have no idea how to research readily available comparable items, or even worse, get caught up in a bidding war, lot #89173 was an excellent graded example of a vintage “Star Wars Return of the Jedi” Imperial Shuttle produced by Kenner Toys. This example was factory-sealed and graded by AFA in 85 (near mint plus condition). Its sale price, which again includes the 25-percent buyer’s premium, was $8,750. Normally, I would not take issue with this even though that is a very high price to pay

for this item, but unfortunately in this case, an exact example graded by AFA in 85 condition was readily available with a Buy It Now price of $5,000 on eBay. And quite interestingly, that item is still sitting on eBay right now unsold as I am writing this. It is amazing to me how certain auction companies can attract bidders that have the money to pay record prices but lack the common sense to search the internet for similar items being sold at lower prices. This individual’s choice cost him or her about $3,750. Unfortunately, this isn’t even the worst of it.

Entered into evidence for your review and amazement is lot #89091, an original “Star Wars Revenge of the Jedi” movie poster in very fine to near mint condition. If you are just a casual “Star Wars” enthusiast you would be forgiven if you failed to realize that there was never a “Star Wars” movie released with the title “Revenge of the Jedi.” This is because at the last minute, George Lucas, the creator of “Star Wars,” changed the name of “Revenge of the Jedi” to “Return of the Jedi” because he felt that a true Jedi would never seek revenge. Much to the dismay of the movie distributor and Kenner Toys, a lot of items were already being manufactured with the “Revenge of the Jedi” insignia. That said, this poster is by no means rare, and back in the 1980s if you were a “Star Wars” Fan Club member you had the chance to buy this poster for about $10. It is rumored there were thousands upon thousands of these “Revenge of the Jedi” posters made, and most up until this point have only sold for a few thousand dollars at most. In this auction, however, this item went for $7,500 with the buyer’s premium, a phenomenal price but par for the course in this particular auction.

Last, but certainly not least, I want to talk about one of the “Revenge of the Jedi” proof cards that sold for an astronomical price in this sale. In doing so, I will skip my commentary on some of the exorbitant prices that were paid for many of the AFA graded vintage “Star Wars” action figures. It would take me much more than a few paragraphs to cover my commentary on this, and I already nearly suffered a near heart attack while watching the auction unfold in real time. That said, “Revenge of the Jedi” proof cards are simply pre-production action figure card backings that were never needed because of the name change to “Return of the Jedi.” There are estimated to be about 50 of these proof cards for each character, making them uncommon and somewhat scarce, but not considered rare. So let’s now discuss lot #89170, which was an AFA graded Luke Skywalker in Bespin Fatigues “Revenge of the Jedi” proof card in AFA 85 condition. This piece sold for a jaw dropping price of $4,750, which, of course, includes the buyer’s premium. I acquired one 3.5 years ago and paid $1,400 for it, and the seller threw in free shipping. I understand prices in the antiques and collectibles trade move

“The Force” Was With The Consignors

up and down, but make no mistake, I consider this a high price to pay for this item even at present time. I would value it around $3,000 in today’s market, but obviously the high bidder would disagree.

In conclusion, the market for vintage “Star Wars” toys and collectibles in near mint condition is at an all-time high,

if we are to judge the market solely from the results of this auction. If you are a collector looking to sell and you have owned your collection for many years, you should be able to make a handsome profit. However, if you are a buyer, I urge you to use caution. The “Force” is definitely not with you here, and if you

think this is going to be the norm going forward, always remember that only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. Stay safe out there, and please bid with your head. Now if only there were such a thing as a Bidders Anonymous support group? Maybe that is what the antiques and collectibles trade needs, especially if these high

prices continue? I think I may have just found my second or third career. Shawn Surmick has been an avid collector since the age of 12.

Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026 Announced

Craft in America is pleased to announce the launch of Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a national Semiquincentennial initiative to showcase the importance of the handmade, both throughout history and in contemporary life.

Handwork 2026 will be a year-long collaboration among organizations, educators, and makers to celebrate the diversity of the crafts that define America, bringing compelling stories and underrepresented art and artists into the spotlight.

Museum. Museums and art centers joining as participants in the Handwork 2026 initiative will complete the rich diversity of interpretations on the work of the hand with exhibitions and related programs throughout the year. The program invites all museums and regional arts centers to join this effort with the craft-centric, culture-based exhibitions being planned for the year 2026.

Documentary Film Series and Digital Content

A four-part documentary film series will be produced

Craft is universal and democratic; it unites us by bringing people of all backgrounds and beliefs together. A deeply important carrier of tradition and cultural practice, the handmade connects us through history and time.

The Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the national museum dedicated to American craft, is the lead partner for the initiative and will host the core exhibition for the project.

Americans for the Arts, a leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education, is the Awareness partner for this project. Handwork 2026 will focus on the following programs.

Exhibitions

Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026 culminates with a core exhibition opening in late 2026 at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art

by the team behind the Peabody Award-winning, PBS national series titled “Craft in America.” The series will present a rich, democratic exploration of the handmade in traditional, studio, ethnic, and contemporary practices. Handwork 2026 plans to partner with PBS and their 350plus independent member stations to broadcast and stream both current and archival craft programs, including new digital programs for YouTube and social media audiences.

Book

history, artists, materials and processes, focusing on undertold stories. The book will be object-based. It will include essays by leading experts, images of exquisite handmade objects and a craft timeline. It will illuminate the contributions of craftspeople throughout our history. It will be one of the first and only books to bridge history by exploring the craft continuum over the span of American culture.

Education

The education component of Handwork 2026 will include interdisciplinary learning initiatives at all levels of the education system, with a special focus on grades K-12. It will take a wide look at the history, cultural traditions, and impact of craft in the United States, from Indigenous origins until today. Marilyn Stewart, Ph.D, a nationally recognized art educator and author of art textbooks, will oversee the creation of the education guides.

organizations, Handwork 2026 will be amplified by a robust social media campaign, and all activities joining the national celebration will be documented on a comprehensive, aggregate. To learn more, visit www.handwork2026.org.

Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, an idea envisioned by a group of dedicated craft professionals and artists, takes its inspiration from a similar project, Year of American Craft 1993, that benefitted millions of artists, makers and appreciators. Much has changed in America since 1993, but the practice of making things by hand endures. The crafts built our nation, and they sustain it through challenging times. Nationwide programs will honor American makers, then and now, pointing the way to a robust future for the crafts and the

Presenting the extraordinary range of the handmade in the U.S., the Handwork 2026 book will feature craft

The guides will include hands-on craft activities and will be available on www. craftinamerica.org and www. handwork2026.org.

Summertime Mopar Fun Returns

To Carlisle With The Carlisle Chrysler Nationals

Event Set For July 12 To 14

The beginning of July may be the mid-point of 2024, but less than two weeks after day 183 is the automotive mid-point for Mopar lovers around the world: the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals car show. This event will take place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, July 12, 13, and 14. It is the biggest and best of its type and includes a massive automotive flea market, car corral, showfield, and special displays/activities that draw guests to Carlisle from near and far. With 2024 being the 34th offering of the event, it’s a perfect backdrop for 50 Years of Carlisle Events and all of the Mopar excitement that’s come to be expected dating back to 1991.

Displays for 2024 include those that showcase Old Skool Paint (version 2.0), 55 Years of the A12, High Impact Paint colors, and, of course, the Mopar Survivors tent. Each will be positioned for optimal exposure and are open now for submission and consideration.

As specifics about each display go, let’s take a moment to dive (or drive) deeper into what to expect, first with the Old School Paint display. This is actually the second time in the last 10 years that the Old Skool Paint theme gets attention. Owners of “original” paint jobs, or modern iterations of Old Skool looks that accurately represent the early ‘70s and older are strongly encouraged to apply. This includes paint that may be showing its age too, including lacquer cracks and fading.

From OSP to HIP, High Impact Paint, that is, the amazing looks on these marvelous machines continue. In the past, the event has showcased Panther Pink, but for 2024, the focus turns to ALL of the eye-popping factory colors. It doesn’t matter if it’s a car or a truck, it’s the color that helps make this display a can’t miss.

Long before there was Carlisle Events in 1974, or the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in 1991, there were A12 B-Bodies. In 2024, those A12s are turning 55, and not only will the weekend feature a great indoor display but a huge gathering on the showfield, too. For this display, all factory A12 Road Runners and Super Bees are eligible. Restored, modified, or original, this is a top-notch showcase that just might result in some industry magazine, web, and social media exposure for all involved.

Speaking of original rides, the Mopar Survivors tent is always a popular destination for owners and fans alike of original/unrestored collector cars. In its second year since the passing of the great Mel Major, this year’s showcase hosts a gallery of vehicles that are at least 25 years old and retain a minimum of 85 percent of their original, assembly line parts (including paint).

In addition to the great

displays, showgoers can enjoy a free of charge kickoff party on Thursday, July 11, hosted by the Mopar Rebellion Car Club, great wheels in motion track-tivities like the Real Street Shootout (autocross), a rolling exhaust contest, rolling burnouts, and a few more ways to pique the interests of those who trekked to Carlisle.

The Carlisle Chrysler Nationals is actively taking display consideration submissions online through the Carlisle Events/Carlisle Chrysler Nationals web page. Apply for display consideration. The vehicle doesn’t

have to be the best of the best, but it does need to fit one of these display themes. Don’t have something that fits the bill for these displays, but own a show vehicle? Showfield registration is open now.

This historically important U.S. Navy D-Day grouping including D-Day Ensign #10 American Battle Flag (48 stars) flown on LCI-538 during the first wave at Omaha Beach, the Invasion of Normandy, June 6, 1944. The provenance is from Motor Machinist’s Mate First Class Frank R. Maratea, who was aboard the ship during the invasion. Archive includes WWII U.S. Navy Commission streamer flag, Maratea’s Honorable Discharge and other military papers, original photographs (including with President Clinton, on deck of LCI-538 and on Omaha Beach), D-Day Landings 50th Anniversary Reunion ephemera and more.

is housed in a period Japanese-made lidded suitcase and is estimated at $8,000-$10,000.

Another top lot from the museum collection is a U.S. Marine Corps M2-A1 flamethrower that is a variant of, and successor to, the model used extensively in the Pacific Theater during WWII. It is fitted with an M2-2-style hourglass-shape backpack frame, with improved valves, regulators and capacity. While at the museum, it was tested and demonstrated in videos, proving time and again to be in top form. Also from the museum, a 1940s 20mm Orlikon MK II “cutaway” cannon with a 55-inch barrel is of a type that was used for instruction by both sides during WWII. Mounted on a four-legged stand, the teaching device became a staple on U.S. Navy warships. The auction example ship/anchor proofs throughout and is marked GM for its manufacturer, General Motors.

An auction entry with tremendous name recognition is the U.S. Army dog tag of the gallant then-future general of the U.S. Army, Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964). The tag was issued to young MacArthur when he was not yet a fieldgrade officer. It is imprinted with his name, the rank “1ST. LT.” and “CORPS OF ENGIN. U.S.A.” MacArthur was a first lieutenant from 1904-06, when he served in the Philippines with his father, Arthur MacArthur Jr., who was commander of the Army’s Pacific Division. Douglas MacArthur would later command the Southwest Pacific Theatre in WWII, administer postwar Japan during the Allied occupation that followed, and lead United Nations forces during the first nine months of the Korean War.

From the prior century, an especially-complete Civil War/Indian Wars uniform grouping identified to Cavalry Lt Colonel Franklin Haven was also part of the aforementioned Virginia museum’s collection. It consists of a double-breasted navyblue felt frock coat, sky-blue officer’s trousers with piping, Civil War officer’s crimson silk sword sash, knee-high leather officer’s boots with hobnails, and a post-Civil War campaign hat made by the famed San Francisco firm Pasquale Co. Additionally, the grouping includes a wartime carte de visite with a photograph of Lt. Colonel Haven in uniform.

The auction’s comprehensive range of military antiques includes edged weapons (swords, knives, daggers, katanas, WWII Hitler Youth presentation knife, WWI Model 1918 “knuckle-duster” trench knife with scabbard); headgear including a WWI Imperial German Garde du Corps Prussian helmet and

National Museum Of Asian Art Presents “Shifting Boundaries: Perspectives On American Landscapes”

Significant New Collaborative Exhibit To Open On National Mall

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art has announced “Shifting Boundaries: Perspectives on American Landscapes,” an exhibition featuring works by American painters such as William Metcalf, Dwight Tryon, Winslow Homer and Abbott Thayer, who created profoundly beautiful views of the New England landscapes where they lived and worked. “Shifting Boundaries” looks at these works from a variety of viewpoints to explore what these paintings can tell the viewer about changes to the region. The landscapes become invitations to explore a century of human impact on land and water, the erasure of Indigenous histories and the environmental changes that are altering New England today. “Shifting Boundaries” will open at the museum Saturday, July 13, and remain on view until July 26, 2026.

The exhibition pilots a new mode of collaborative curatorial practice. The museum partnered with a group of experts in the field of environment and landscape to develop the themes for the exhibition, select works of art and write object labels. Lauren Brandes (Smithsonian Gardens), Dennis Chestnut (Ward 7 Resilience Hub Community Coalition), Jerome Foster II (Waic Up), Elizabeth JamesPerry (Aquinnah Wampanoag

The group’s perspectives, drawn from their individual areas of professional expertise and their own personal experiences, allow people to see new details in these works of art and to document profound shifts in attitudes and practices about the environment over the past century.

These paintings largely depict the New England environment as timeless and static. ”Shifting Boundaries” reveals, however, that the views these artists created of pasturelands in Massachusetts and of seascapes in Maine were transforming even as these artists recorded them. This reshaping has only accelerated in the century since Metcalf, Tryon, Homer and Thayer depicted them.

“As the National Museum of Asian Art enters our next 100 years, we are reflecting on our past and shaping our future with an emphasis on collaboration,” said Chase F. Robinson, the museum’s director. “We are sharing

different perspectives in our galleries, experimenting with new approaches, examining object histories and proactively engaging with communities both locally and abroad. “‘Shifting Boundaries’ exemplifies all of this, showcasing what it means to be a museum in the 21st century.”

The National Museum of Asian Art’s collection includes over 1,700 works by artists from the United States. In addition to works by Metcalf, Tryon, Homer and Thayer, the museum has significant holdings of U.S. artists such as Thomas Dewing, John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam and the nation’s largest collection of works by James McNeill Whistler, more than 1,000 in total, including the famed Peacock Room.

“Our collaborators worked with us from the inception of the project to craft a beautiful and important exhibition,” said Greenwold. “During our conversations, Mary, Liz, Amy and I served as guides and moderators for important and in-depth discussions about our country’s history and the role of a national museum in addressing challenging topics head on.

The day two session featuring the Annual Ohio Valley Auction, the Beth and Earl Trimble stoneware collection, and the Americana collection of the late Audrey Caspari also included choice Americana from collections across the country. This short recap only involves the Trimble stoneware consignment. Prices reported are hammer prices and do not include either the 20-percent in-house buyer’s premium or 25-percent online buyer’s premium.

Beth and Earl Trimble lived near New Castle, Pa., and specialized in Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia pottery. This regional category has long been a popular one within the American stoneware community. Earl is deceased, and Beth now lives in Florida. The couple put together a very nice homage from the potting centers in and around this influential region.

“I think as an overview, many stoneware people thought some things brought beyond expectations, and many what they were worth,” Frank Swala summed up, saying of the offerings. Of the roughly 75 pieces, there are supposed to be around 25 more available. We will see if Jeffers sells them in 2025. As expected with a group of nice material, Trimble had a couple auction houses look over the possible consignment, and it’s a credit to businesswoman Jeffers for landing the sale. She presented the material well and achieved good results. In the end, the quality of the items always speaks for itself as far as the marketplace is concerned.

spring cleaning and are curious whether the painting has monetary value, this could be the event to check out. And for anyone considering selling an art collection and not knowing where to start, his event may provide insight. Of course, accidents happen, and sometimes the inherited heirloom painting gets a tear or damaged in a basement flood. Then a conservation estimate could be helpful, and this event can help with that as well.

Before getting overwhelmed and tucking the painting deep into the closet, bring it to Gratz Gallery and Conservation Studio for a free verbal value appraisal or free conservation estimate. Bring the landscape from over guest room bed for a fair-market appraisal or find out what’s underneath that dusty painting in the attic. Bring the inherited family heirloom for a cleaning and repair estimate. Unsure of the origin of a piece of artwork? Let the specialists take a look to see if they can uncover the mystery.

This year the event will again feature Margaret Gratz, ISA AM, an accredited member of the International Society of Appraisers and longtime Gratz Gallery sales associate, and fine art specialist Paul Gratz, owner and head conservator at Gratz Gallery and Conservation Studio.

Due to the past popularity of this event, patrons are requested to limit inquiries to two items per family. The appraisers will get to all the paintings they possibly can in one day. The event will follow a first-come, firstserved protocol. Refreshments will be available while attendees wait.
