Collecting Antique Meerschaums—Really Regal Pipes!
By Ben Rapaport Exclusive to Southeastern Antiquing Magazine
The motif of this 18-inch pipe depicts the wedding of Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, to the Marquis of Lorne at Windsor St. George chapel, March 21, 1871. Attributed to Joseph Krammer, Vienna, ca. 1871, it was once the property of the Dunhill Antique Pipe Museum collection. It sold at Christie's in London on May 23, 2006 for $50,000. (Photo: Bruce Benjamin Collection.)
Carved by Carl Kiess of Vienna, Austria, this pipe belonged to Duke Franz Ferdinand who presented it to Emperor Franz Josef, Kaiser of Austria and King of Hungary. It ended up in the U.S. and depicts seven boys and one girl and is known as “The First Smoke”; 18 inches long. (From the Sarunas Peckus Collection.)
Why regal? Well, it is because the meerschaum has been called “the king of pipes” and, as often, “the queen of pipes,” “the prince of pipes,” and “the sovereign of smoke,” all appropriate appellations of royalty. It is also been given other names, such as “Venus of the Sea,” and “White Goddess.” It has also been described as light as a fleeting dream, the apple of the eye of the refined pipe smoker, the aristocrat of smoking pipes, the quintessential smoker’s requisite, also accurate and deserving characterizations. As one 19th century writer proclaimed: “All great smokers use the pipe. The poor smoke a modest clay pipe; the rich a meerschaum set with silver and amber, carved and engraved like a precious stone; poor and rich consuming much tobacco, burn it in an incombustible bowl with a tube attached.” As early as 1851, the catalog of the Great Exhibition in London noted a number of awards to exhibitors of meerschaum pipes. Of one carver, Carl Astrath of Vienna, the catalog read: “Prize Medal, for an assortment of most exquisite specimens of meerschaum pipe-bowls and cigar-tubes; the sculpturing of the figures displaying remarkable artistic skill, and the execution of leafage being bold and sharp.” J. Strauss of Turin also received a prize medal for “…several elaborately-carved meerschaum pipe-bowls, the sculpturing of which is vey exquisite.” So many of these 19th century creations surpass ordinary creativity and craftsmanship and verge upon artistic genius to be compared with the larger-than-life creations in bronze, marble, alabaster and stone of Brancusi, Cellini, Maillol, Moore and Saint-Gaudens. This is one reason why the following appeared in a respected 19th century newspaper: “A meerschaum pipe is one of the best things a man can have, and gives him more pleasure for the amount of money expended than anything else he can buy.” The highest compliment ever
paid to it is that it is as skillfully elaborated and as intricately fashioned as Japanese netsukes. So what is meerschaum? It is neither a major industrial mineral nor a precious stone, but it still retains a record of a long—and continuing—association with art and the personal affairs of Man. It is not sea foam or the fossilized shells of tiny sea creatures that fell to the ocean floor over 50 million years ago, the stuff of myths posted on the Internet. (Meerschaum in German does mean sea foam, and there is no English-language equivalent word.) It is Mg4Si6O15(OH)2·6H2O, more commonly described as a soft, white, claylike material consisting of hydrated silicate of magnesium. The fascination with this substance is that the meerschaum mellows, mutates, and metamorphoses over time through a range of colors as it absorbs the pipe’s byproducts of tobacco. The mineral is found chiefly in Eskişehir, Turkey, the principal center of pipe carving and finished pipe export today, although there are small deposits in Tanganyika. Other than Turkey and Tanganyika, minor players in meerschaum pipe production are: Andreas Bauer (Vienna), London Meerschaum Limited, Darcy Gertz (Canada), Philippe Bargiel (France), and Arne Urup (Denmark). Although Turkey’s meerschaum pipes are popular among a certain contingent of smokers, these contemporary expressions are not, by any metric of carving excellence, in the same league with those crafted during the period 1850–1925, meerschaum’s “Golden Age,” when craftsmen on the Continent, in England and to a lesser extent, in the United States, plied this trade and produced thousands of eye-catching masterpieces fit for a puffing king ... or queen. The principal centers of meerschaum pipe manufacture were in the more cosmopolitan cities—among them, Berlin, London, Paris, Prague, Venice, and Vienna—in ateliers bustling with

This Month’s Cover Story: Many Meerschaum pipes are carved works of art. On the cover is an exquisite cigar holder made to celebrate the coronation of Ludwig II of Bavaria in 1864. It shows the royal coach led by six horses and measures 21.26 x 6.3 x 2.17 inches. From the workbench of A. Zimmermann, Hofdrechsler, Munich, Germany, to its current home in London’s British Science Museum, the hands it passed through knew better than to light up. Today, it retains its pristine, flawless, near-mint condition.

skilled, nameless artisans working alongside craftsmen of related guilds, the jewelers, metal smiths, wood turners and those who made pipe stems, mouthpieces, wind covers and assorted other pipe fittings. In brief, it started in a place called Pesth (Budapest) early in the 18th century; some claim 1720 as the precise year. The generally accepted account is that a Hungarian shoemaker Karl Kowates (Kovács, Károly) obtained a lump of raw meerschaum from a certain Hungarian diplomat-noble, Baron István Andrássy, who served the Ottoman court in Turkey, and the cobbler carved two relatively crude meerschaum pipes; a story so often repeated that it has become industry legend and collector folklore. From there, a cottage industry grew across Western Europe, where craftsmen learned to manipulate this chalky, milky-white, pliable mineral into pipes that competed with three popular materials used in pipe fabrication: clay (introduced in England in the late 1600s); porcelain (introduced near-simultaneously in France and Germany in the early 1700s); and briar (Erica arborea, the root of the heath tree, introduced in France in the mid-1850s). Wood pipes were
This meerschaum pipe, an exquisite rendition of a punch or harlequin, has a very rare feature, the polychrome coloration of his costume, a most unusual enhancement to a pipe. (From the Carlos Armero Collection.)

Shops of St. Petersburg. .“The Jewel of Florida’s Gulf Coast” Manatee County_Grp.09.14_SEA
There's an old saying about St. Petersburg, Fla.; People who live there love it; businesses that located there stay; and visitors who go there to shop and play want to come back again and again. How true! St. Petersburg and Pinellas County offer an unequaled environment for work and play. Wonderful weather and miles of sandy beaches make it a magnet for people worldwide. St. Petersburg's two strongest selling points are sunshine and shopping. The former can be enjoyed virtually year-round; the latter comes in the form of malls, factory outlet stores, discount chains, specialty shops, membership warehouses, and —oh, yes— a cavalcade of wonderful antiques and collectibles stores. The advertisers on this page offer a taste of what we mean.
Getting to St. Petersburg isn't hard to do. The city's major thoroughfare is I-275, which runs north and south and connects to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and Manatee County (another mecca for shoppers on the antique trail). I-275 also connects with 1-4 going east to Orlando from Tampa and I-75 heading north. U.S. 19 is an important north-south link that runs the length of the county. A visit to St. Petersburg will leave you wanting more, no matter how long you stay. And it's easy to fan out and explore. Tampa — a city with it's own identity, cultural pulse and antiques and collectibles shops—is right next door. And Orlando, with its many theme parks, is a short drive away. Don't you think it's time to visit, vacation and shop in St. Petersburg? It's truly the Jewel of Florida's Gulf Coast!

available in Europe prior to 1850—about 30 different species were tested and tried—but most fell into disfavor when the popularity of the briar surged. Other short-lived pipe mediums of the period were bisque, Parian ware (a cheap imitation of the white marble from the Greek island of Paros), jasperware, ivory, glass, amber and precious metals. In those aforementioned 75 or so golden years, the meerschaum carver’s imagination ran wild, and pipes, cheroot holders (a diminutive version of the pipe to hold a popular, torpedo-shaped cigar, rather than loose tobacco) and yet smaller, tapered cigarette holders of incomparable creativity and beauty were produced. Almost any motif one can name was expressed in meerschaum, the articulation of creative and dramatic imagery in one-of-a-kind, miniature architectural statements. The pipes usually mirrored famous works of art (paintings, sculpture), opera, fables, mythology, the Bible, busts of popular personages and important political/military leaders of the period, commemoration of historic events, and singular masterpieces for international expositions. In 1991, O. Henry Mace, author of Collector’s Guide to Victoriana (1991) opined: “Famous faces, animals, erotica, and even landmarks have been reproduced on beautiful white meerschaum pipes.” So what did a prospective buyer encounter in the tobacco shop?

An infinite variety of shapes and sizes with varying degrees of intricate bas- to high-relief-carved subject matter; A good percentage of pipes and holders exhibited whimsical, fanciful, bizarre and to the delight of some collectors, erotic and scatological motifs; An assortment of appliquéd embellishments and decoration, such as semi-precious and precious gems, and gold and silver repoussé accents; Mouthpieces of turned amber, ivory and exotic woods; and Custom-fitted carrying cases to protect the fragile meerschaum from damage and shield it from the sun or harsh showroom light that could dissipate the handrubbed beeswax finish. In a word, name something—almost anything—and chances are that it was expressed in meerschaum. Many are one-of-a-kind pieces of history, and most evoke ingenious creativity and dramatic imagery. That's why collecting—not smoking—antique meerschaum pipes (albeit art that can be smoked) is as fascinating an avocation as the pursuit of CocaCola collectibles, stamps, coins, and Beanie Babies. But, unlike the ability to identify these contemporary objects, no signature or trademark appeared on the pipes or inside their fitted cases, so it is anyone’s guess as to their provenance or date of manufacture. Dating and determining country of origin are difficult and not particularly rewarding. Some facts to consider. Today, demand exceeds supply. Of the many thousands of meerschaum pipes and holders made

By current-market price points, especially on the Continent, one needs rather deep pockets to acquire these baubles.

The price of an antique meerschaum can range anywhere from the low hundreds to thousands of dollars for something as splendid as a large-scale pipe depicting, in high relief, the god Prometheus surrounded by a handful of naiads made by someone in Vienna, Paris or Prague. No surprise, as W. A. Penn wrote in The Soverane Herbe: “Our grandfathers highly valued their meerschaums. Collections of finely-coloured and carved pipes were made, as much as £500 being paid for a fine specimen.” That was published in 1901! Today, the prerequisites for amassing a respectable collection of meerschaum pipes or holders are persistence, diligence, commitment, networking, timing, lots of luck and extra income. The market is wholly unpredictable, and meerschaum pipes and cheroot holders are neither liquid nor near-liquid assets. The current center of auction activity is Paris, at the Hôtel Drouot where, with regularity, there is a public auction of antique tobacco accessories. Occasionally, an American auction house deigns to traffic in antiquarian tobacco utensils. Without documentation—old factory catalogs, artist renditions of pipe designs, or other archival material—it is impossible to distinguish between a rare and a common motif, between a mass-produced motif and one that was custom-made for a client. This is an important criterion because to pay a top price, the pipe or holder ought to be an extraordinary objet d’art that exhibits a magnificent tableau and exudes flawless execution, finesse and balance. While legions of Americans strive for a smoke-free world, antique pipe collectors, the majority of whom are non-smokers, have embraced these utensils now long in disuse, and derive Morning 9.14_SEA distinct pleasure from theGlory.Qrt. appearance and tactility of a humble

Without their passion to collect, these objects would just be more detritus of the past, and the readers of Southeastern Antiquing Magazine would miss a sumptuous, visual feast of these antiquarian utensils of smoke. To see more of these bibelots, visit “The Tobacco Pipe Artistory,” on Facebook. ----------For the past 50 years, Ben Rapaport, known internationally as an avid antique pipe collector, bibliophile and a popular lecturer at pipe clubs, has been in journalistic wedlock with all things tobacco and smoke. His articles on pipe and tobacco history appear regularly in Pipes & Tobaccos Magazine. He was inducted as the U.S. Founding Member into the International Academy of the Pipe in 1985, into the Confrérie des Maîtres Pipiers de Saint-Claude, France, in 1989, and the recipient of the prestigious “Doctor of Pipes” achievement award from the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club in 2004. He is the author of A Tobacco Source Book (1972); A Complete Guide to Collecting Antique Pipes (1979); The Global Guide to Tobacco Literature (1989); Museum of Tobacco Art and History Guide Book. (1996); Collecting Antique Meerschaums: Miniature to Majestic Sculpture, 1850-1925 (1999); and The Arts of An Addiction: Qing Dynasty Opium Pipes and Accessories (2005).

The Big Red Barn Fills With Early Americana; Original Round Top Texas Antiques Fair includes Continental Tent and More Susan Franks has again filled the Big Red Barn for this fall show with a full complement of dealers offering a variety of Americana ranging from early Colonial period antiques through late 19th century home furnishings. The Original Round Top Antiques Fair, Oct. 1-4, 2014 at The Big Red Barn Event Center and nearby Carmine Dance Hall, will host 300 exhibitors and their collections of antiques, ranging from Colonial American periods through later 20th century styles in the Big Red Barn, The Continental Tent, The Big Red Barn Tent and nearby at Carmine Dance Hall. Now for the 47th year, the show is the anchor for a week’s worth of shopping in the tiny Texas town. Susan’s show gives the shoppers an opportunity to find the furnishings and personal collections to create that lifestyle for themselves. Shelly Weidner, Cibolo Creek Antiques of Vulverde, Texas, specializes in furnishings from her home state. This fall, she will be offering for the first time a one-of-a-kind storage unit originally made for hardware by Irwin Heimer from the San Antonio area. She reported it was probably made for a store as a fixture for hardware but would now fit the popular Industrial styles with its iron hand-forged hinges and box drawers. Eva Lee, another Texan, shops all across the country. Her collection is country stores, literally, the whole store: fixtures, cupboards, counters, cash registers, scales, the whole kit and caboodle. This fall, she will have available 56 running feet from one St. Louis store she purchased and removed earlier this summer, complete with cabinets twelve feet tall which can be assembled like a jigsaw puzzle. The manufacturer, J.D. Warren Co. of Chicago, at the turn of the century made his pieces fit together with common moldings. An interesting and very unusual exhibitor at the show for the last few times has been Mel King, owner of Big Blue Wreck and Salvage Company. Although headquartered in Denver, Mel and his crew are the popular ocean shipwreck recovery people who lately have been gathering artifacts off the coast of Florida from 16th and 17th century shipwrecks. The material recovered is largely smelted into other gold objects, although some will be sold as found. Look for many exhibitors with traditions antiques, too. Woody Straub of Umatilla, Fla., will be there with early furniture and fine art. Another Floridian, Fred Cain picks Georgian Era furniture and accessories. The show opens daily Oct. 1-4 at 9 a.m. Wednesday, the show closes at 7, Thursday and Friday at 5, and Saturday at 4. For more info: www.roundtoptexasantiques.com or 512-2374747. vLa Bahia Antique Show Continued from Page 13 The La Bahia Antique Show has been making positive impressions on visitors since it started in 1992. The Round Top Register’s Antiques and Craft Show Guide states that among the “…shows that have shown consistent quality over the years is the La Bahia Antique Show at 237 and Hwy 290….” Admission is free, and there will by country cooking all day. Visit www.labahiaantiques.com for info, or stop by Hwy. 237 (290 W) Burton, Texas. The Spring 2015 will be March 27April 4—add it to your calendar.
What's Selling on eBay?
by Mike McLeod and Deborah Abernethy
$4,050 (15 bids): Railroad denim Jacket & work bib overalls FREELAND buttons jeans. There are six buttons on the jacket and four on the overalls, all marked “The Freeland.” I was told this person worked for several railroads during his lifetime. This was also the name of a company that made work clothes starting in the late 1800s. Selling as found, definitely worn, a few tiny holes, some fraying on cuffs, some fading, some rust color spots. These are not new and made to look old. This is the real thing. I talked a friend that visited into modeling this. She said, “Hey, this is really comfortable!” No size on it, but my friend is about 5’10” and 160 pounds. This is a great find for a vintage antique jeans and jacket collector. You are getting this fantastic old jacket, bib overalls, complete with all 10 buttons all alike. (Photo, eBay seller snikelfritz34.) DBA: Most of these have not survived. This type of clothing is usually just worn until it is worn out. It seems like such a lot of money for something that would have been made in large quantities. I did not find a similar set, just the jacket. But that jacket sold for $2,500. Several factors made this sell for more money: 1) that it survived; 2) that it is a railroad outfit— railroad things are very collectible; 3) that it is a striped denim rather than plain. This price was “the going rate.” $3,050 (31 bids): Antique nautical boxwood nocturnal with swing arm 18th century astrolabe. Nocturnals were used to determine the time at night when the sky was clear. The nocturnal was able to determine the time based on the position of the stars together with the day of the month. This fine instrument measures 10.25 inches from the end of the arm to the pointer on top of the base plate. The condition is exceptional, no cracks or repairs. Nocturnals were used as a navigational tool until around 1825 when the mechanical chronometer was invented, which made them obsolete. This nocturnal came out of a very old house in Rhode Island. (Photo: eBay seller technogallery.) DBA: This is an early 19th century (or possibly 18th century)

navigational instrument used for calculating the time of night, and it was important because calculating the tides around ports would have been necessary. A nocturnal will have an outer disc with the months of the year (usually with raised markings as it would be used at night), and an inner disc marked with hours. The outer ring is set on the date, Polaris is spotted through the hole in the center, and a reference star is then used to determine the time. The pointer arm is rotated to point to the chosen reference star. The intersection of the pointer arm with the hour markings on the inner disc indicates the time. The instrument should also have a handle or an indication of how to be held. I was not able to find any similar nocturnal for price comparison. These are seen in maritime museums today or are available as reproductions. Based on that, I would say that $3,050 was probably a good deal for the buyer. $4,750 (16 bids): Antique Mini Sewing Machine. Patented August 6, 1867. Adjustable height stitch plate, top penetrating needle. Needle is present (uncommon). Wooden spool with thread. Excellent condition, all Clinton H
original, about six inches in length. (Photo: eBay seller: kwikwitt.) DBA: This machine is marked “H J Hancock.” Henry J Hancock received his patent for this machine in 1867, very early in sewing machine production. Hancock sewing machines were made for only about ten years and are scarce. This machine is a hand-operated, single-chain stitch machine that clamps to a table. There are no serial numbers on Hancock machines, but these are clearly marked with a patent date. Rarely do you find an antique machine with a needle. I did find another Hancock sewing machine which sold for $1,300 (without a needle and with lots of paint loss); $4,750 is a lot of money for a sewing machine, but this one is very scarce and will probably retain its value. $133 (14 bids): Hand-painted Royal China Blacksmith Occupational Porcelain Shaving Mug. The underside is marked “Royal China International” and is hand signed in gold gilt by the artist “C. L. Hain.” This is 3.5 inches tall by 4 inches in diameter, hand painted, and depicts a blacksmith’s shop, along with a large horseshoe and the name, “H. T. Schoener.” There is an even crazing to the glaze on this occupational mug, but there are no other problems or any restorations. (Photo: eBay seller wwolst12.)

DBA: Around 1880, sanitation laws required that each client in a barbershop have his own shaving mug—although the razor could be shared! These laws were in effect from 1880 until to about 1920. The values for each shaving mug depend on: the occupation (the more exotic usually means more money); the condition (obviously, the better the condition, more money): the manufacturer of the mug (the nicer manufacturers means more money); and whether it is a hand-painted design, a transfer design, or factory made. The seller got a great deal as the photo shows a great-looking mug. $61 (41 bids): Western California Mission Indian Large Basket Tray. On either side of this 17-inch diameter by 1.5-inch tall Native American Indian basket tray are two handles. The simple design and tight construction is typical of the Mission Indians of California. There is a break and some missing stitches to the rim. There is also some reddish residue that is removable.
There are no other problems or any restorations to this circa 1900 Mission Indian basket. (Photo: eBay seller wwolst12.) DBA: Compared to other Mission baskets, this one is lacking in design motifs and very plain. Plain can be a good thing in some designs, but not necessarily in the Mission Indian style. My guess is that the missing stitches, the residue, or the very simple design may have caused this basket to sell for only $61. The term Mission Indian refers to a group of different tribes who lived around the San Clemente area and were forcibly relocated to the missions. You will not find many early baskets from this region as the custom upon death was to burn the individual’s possessions in a ceremony. This custom stopped about 1890. The baskets made around 1900 were made for tourists instead of being traditional use baskets. However, these are very collectible. This is a low price for such as basket, and I would say the seller got a great deal for an Indian basket. However, collectors want pristine examples, so it may not be easy to sell. ---------------Deborah Abernethy is a certified appraiser with the International Association of Appraisers.

Famous Antique Follow-Up: A Missing Imperial Fabergé Egg Turns Up $33 Million By Mike McLeod Since Fabergé Eggs were highlighted previously in this column, this news is doubly worthy of note. One the 50 Imperial Fabergé Eggs created for Tsar Nicholas II to give as an Easter present to Tsarina Maria Feodorovna was purchased at a flea market by a Mid-western scrap metal dealer for about $13,000. The unidentified buyer bought it initially for the value of its gold and diamonds, but he held onto it for some time, not knowing its true nature but suspecting that it had greater The $33 million Faberge value. Egg that was purchased for After the Russian about $13,000. Revolution, many Fabergé Eggs were sold to collectors in the West, which is how this one turned up here. It was last recorded as being sold in 1964 at an auction in New York for $2,450. There, it was listed as a “Gold watch in egg form case.” What about a maker’s mark? Yes, the mark of Fabergé’s Chief-Jeweler August Holmström is on the egg, but no one recognized it. Holmström created the egg in St. Petersburg between 1886 and 1887. After searching on the Internet, the scrap metal dealer contacted Wartski, the Royal Warrant-holders of Fabergé based in London. Wartski verified is as an Imperial Faberge Egg and arranged for its sale to a private collector for a reported $33 million. The egg, which was the third made by Faberge for Tsar Nicholas, contains a Vacheron Constantin clock that pops up as the surprise. The egg measures 8.2 cm in height, and it is supported on a sabléd gold stand with lion paw feet and is encircled by finely chased gold garlands suspended from three cabochon blue sapphires topped with a rose diamond set. Wartski reports two of eight missing Imperial Eggs are known to still exist: the 1889 Necessaire Egg with chased Jeff Dobson.8th.10.2009_SEA gold, pearls, gemstones, 13 miniature toilet articles and no stand, last seen in June of 1952; and the 1888 Cherub Egg with Chariot, last possessed by Armand Hammer in 1934.

Name This Famous Antique by Mike McLeod
Ted Carlton of Utah correctly identified this photo of one of the first jigsaw puzzles. It was created by John Spilsbury in England in 1767-1777. Spilsbury was a cartographer and engraver, and he created his first puzzle in about 1760. He laid one of his world maps on wood and cut out the countries with a fine saw. His goal was to create a teaching aid for learning geography. From the British Library: “In the space of two years, he marketed the eight map subjects most likely to appeal to upper class English parents: the world, the four continents then known (Africa, America, Asia and Europe), England and Wales, Ireland and Scotland.” Spilsbury’s jigsaw puzzle was a great success—even though he did not call it a “jigsaw puzzle” at the time since jigsaws weren’t invented until 1947. Spilsbury referred to his creation With so many jigsaw puzzles created, almost every image as a “dissection” or “map dissection.” The name jigsaw puzzle under the sun has been die cut into a puzzle. Everything from actually came into being in the late 1800s when fretsaws were The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci to big-eyed kittens has used to cut puzzle pieces. been made into jigsaw puzzles.

The Hobby of Token Collecting
By Joe C. Copeland
Tokens, scrip, good fors, due bills, clackers, clickers, chickenfeed, jingles, flickers, trade checks, chits, egg money, doogaloo, chips, chinky tin, bingles, brozene, flickers, palali, and lightweight are just some of the names used for the items I collect. A token is generally considered a coin used in trade. Tokens were made of aluminum, Shannon of Greenfield, Tenn.: one of brass, copper, nickel, German silver, plastic, cardboard and even bimetal, the most unusual merchant tokens because of the Celery Ade topic on the which was generally brass on the outside reverse; rarity value: R-10. (Rarity is and a different metal in the center. The tokens also came in various shapes such rated from R-1 to R-10, the rarest.) as rectangular, round, square, oblong, oval, scalloped and even other odd shapes. The denominations usually ran from 1 cent through $1. Some other denominations in cents were of 2½, 3, 3 1/3, 7, 12½, 20 and 90. There were also denominations Williamsburg.06.11_SEA of $1.20, $1.50, $5

An 1891 Daniel P. Henderson Booksellers, Stationers, and News Dealers of Chattanooga 7 1/2¢ token— one of the rarest denominations from any state; R-10. and $10. Some of the tokens were listed as good for: a loaf of bread; 5 cents and 10 cents in drugs; a pint of milk; a quart of milk; half gallons (and other sizes) of berries, which meant that a gallon of berries picked would be paid for at the end of the day. Tomato growers also used tokens for various measures. In farming communities, the general store used its tokens to pay farmers for their produce, chickens, eggs, etc. In most instances, the tokens were redeemable only at the store whose name was on the token. The owner had the advantage because he didn’t have to pay out legal tender, and these tokens often became the only circulating medium of exchange in those areas. In some instances, other stores in town accepted tokens or scrip, but they deducted 10% for the convenience. Those stores knew the company issuing the scrip would only redeem it from them for 90% of face value. Some drug stores had tokens good for 5 cents in cigars, gum or soda water. There were grist mill tokens good for 50 lbs. or 100 lbs. of bran and 25, 50, or 100 pounds of flour. Clothing stores had them for $1 off any article exceeding $10. Piano stores, car dealerships, laundries, parking lots, taxi cabs, bus companies, and car washes used tokens. I have seen a camera shop token good for 10 cents on developing a roll of film. Some schools had tokens good for one lunch and one carton of milk. In cities, tokens served as trade stimulators for local merchants. Billiard rooms, dairies, grocery stores, shoe stores, bakeries, drug stores, confectionaries, saloons and others used tokens, even houses of ill-repute. As trade stimulators, tokens served the same purpose as the old S&H Green Stamps. State prison systems in Michigan,

North Carolina, South Carolina, and other states used tokens at one time. The Tennessee State Prison System used tokens. Brushy Mountain State Prison, which at one time housed James Earl Ray, convicted of killing Rev. Martin Luther King, had paper scrip in the form of coupon books. Some coal and lumber companies, as well as East Tennessee State University and the University of Tennessee, also used coupon books. Fraternal organizations like the Masons, Elks, Owls, Eagles, American Legion, V.F.W. and others had tokens, as did churches and transportation companies. You can see that at one time tokens were an integral part of our society. Token manufacturers had salesmen traveling the country to persuade businesses to use this means of exchange. Salesmen carried different samples so merchants had a selection to choose from. Some of the samples had on them the words good for and the denomination and then the words in merchandise or in trade. It is not known how many tokens there are from any particular state because “new” tokens are continually turning up. Reference books have been published on tokens from more than 20

states. Many of them are categorized by type of business, such as coal, lumber, saloon, bi-metal, Civil War, or transportation. In the case of saloon tokens, they must have the word saloon on them for those collectors to want them.

device with a selenium crystal attached to the opposite side of a mirror. The speaker’s voice vibrated the crystal and the mirror, and the light rays “absorbed” the vibrations and carried them to a receiver mechanism. This then converted the light rays back to sound using the process in reverse. Perhaps Bell’s epiphany about communicating via rays of light came from using electricity to communicate sound in telephones. Bell’s inventive genius did not stop at communications. In 1881, “…Bell’s newborn son, Edward, died from respiratory problems, and Bell responded to the tragedy by designing a metal vacuum jacket that simulated breathing. The amazing apparatus became a precursor of the iron lung used in the 1950s to aid polio victims.”1
Sherron Lawson of Roswell, Andy McClish of Marietta, Ga., and Ted Carlton of Utah correctly identified Alexander Graham Bell. What was the greatest invention created by Alexander Graham Bell? The answer to most people, of course, is the telephone. But not to Alexander Graham Bell. To him, his greatest invention was the photophone—a device that used light beams for communicating sound like a telephone. Fiber optic transmission of data was not accomplished until the 1960s. Bell and his assistant Charles Sumner Tainter successfully demonstrated they could transmit conversations “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so via light with the photophone on June 3, 1880. They eventually long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not sent and received their words a distance of 700 feet using light. see the one which has opened for us.” Bell also invented the metal detector and participated in the development of hydrofoils and airplanes. When President James A. Garfield was shot by an assassin in 1881, Bell To say Alexander Graham Bell was ahead of his time is a developed a metal detector to find the bullet. However, the classic understatement. The photophone was proof of this in that it would be decades before technology would catch up with President was on a metal bed when he used his device, and this caused the attempt to fail. The President’s doctors would not his concept. Fiber optics was used for other than telephony allow him to be moved to a nonmetal bed to give Bell another devices in the first half of the 20th century,N. butGa_Jasper_Group_09.12_SEA not until the chance. President Garfield died on Sept. 19, 1881. 1960s was it used for communication. In the early 1900s, Bell began to concept design The photophone worked—almost miraculously—by improvements for the hydrofoil (or hydroplane boat), which bouncing rays of light off a mirror.

to adapt their water-skimming capabilities to airplanes so they could take off and land on water. In 1907, he formed the Aerial Experimental Association with other early aeronautical engineers: Glenn Curtiss, J.A.D. McCurdy, Thomas Selfridge and Casey Baldwin. Together, they created four aircraft, including the Silver Dart, which successfully flew in 19092, just six years after the Wright Brothers—and depending on which first-in-flighter you prefer, six years after Alberto SantosDumont of Brazil and eight years after Gustave Whitehead of Connecticut. Alexander Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland, and died on Aug. 2, 1922 from the effects of diabetes in Nova Scotia. Oh, and don’t think Alexander Graham Bell didn’t have a sense of humor:
The Silver Dart, ca. 1909. was invented in 1898 Enrico Forlanini in Italy. Bell and other designers eventually developed a hydrofoil in 1911 that set a speed record of 70 mph. “The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.”

The Hobby of Token Collecting Continued from Page 31
Barry & M’Dannel Premium Confectioners of Knoxville general store Civil War token; R-10, $700-$1,400. “mavericks.” Many of the mavericks are impossible to find the place where they were used without the aid of another collector or someone familiar with that business. In Knoxville, only one store was known to have used Civil War merchant tokens. The token reads “Barry & M’Dannel, Premium Confectioners, Knoxville, Tenn.” The reverse of the token reads, “Arctic Soda Water, Good For 1 Glass.” Another variety of that token has an Indian pictured on the reverse. Civil War tokens from Tennessee are rare; thus, they sell for high prices. I have been collecting and cataloging Tennessee tokens for 25+ years, and new tokens keep turning up all the time. I love my hobby and hate to see the history of these companies which used tokens disappear with the passing of our older citizens. I find that about 90% of Tennesseans don’t know anythingChurch about tokens, even people who worked for the St. Ants.8th.10.2009_SEA different companies and who frequented the stores.

Clarksville, Tenn., Civil War token for Andrew King, Merchant. Civil War tokens from Clarksville are extremely rare; R-10, $500-$1,000. 25¢ and 10¢ tokens for N.O. Underwood in Dedham (now called Sharon), Tenn. Although the town no longer exists as Dedham, this is the most common Civil War token; R-6, $250-$450. A few words of caution if you are contemplating collecting tokens: hoards of previously unknown tokens will often turn up, so it is easy to lose your shirt if you pay too much for a token, and beware of transportation tokens because 99% of them aren’t worth $1 each. A prime example of hoards are some Kingsport and Knoxville transportation tokens, Coker Bus Lines coupon books, and Black Diamond paper scrip books which turned up a few years ago. There were so many that now they aren’t worth much. Values on non-Civil War tokens are subject to each person’s opinion. I have paid $50+ for towns I don’t have. Some people won’t pay over $5-$10 for a token, except Civil War tokens. In closing, I express my deepest appreciation to members of the metal detecting fraternity who have helped me with information and with additions to my collection. ---------Joe C.

Civil War Collector The
By John Sexton
I am contacting you to try and figure out who might have carried these items to battle, as well as determining a rough value of my finds. Back in the ‘80s, I attended Longwood College located in Farmville, Va. We had the luxury of all these great battles nearby, and a few of my fraternity brothers got involved in relic hunting. We hit Sailor’s Creek, Sandy River, Rice, High Bridge, Jamestown and Cumberland Church and then we went out Airport Drive towards Appomattox. A couple items stand out in my collection. They are solid lead/brass disks about the same size and weight of breast plates, silver-plated with brass initials that are punched through disks and bent on the rear to hold to the disks. On the rear are strap attachments like rosettes I have seen. These are much nicer than any sets I have seen. Dave Wilson, a local Civil War expert, has seen them, and he feels they were owned by a Confederate officer. Any ideas on identifying this man? They were found in relation to the Battle of Cumberland Church where the South was about to give up its notion of heading north and figured their only way was west. These items were found on superior real estate, high ground with Union stuff all over the hillside where they charged this high ground and shot uphill at Confederates on top. The South

repulsed this attack, probably the last little victory before it all caved in. I feel the story behind the items to be a large part of what makes the piece interesting. What makes these items so special to me is that we had combed this area for weeks, and everyone felt it had given all it had, but I decided to return one more time. I am glad I did. These were meant to be recovered, and I have enjoyed them and would like to figure out who he was. Obviously, he was a man of means; not everyone owned such items of display.
Large, custom-made, monogrammed Civil War bridle rosettes lost by an unknown owner. JS: Nice group of relics you found of bullets, belt hardware, coins and so on. The bridle rosettes are most unusual. Monogram types like those are more typical with tin backs or iron and post Civil War. They are especially numerous in the West, but the lead solder-filled types are Civil War Era. The initials no doubt stood for their owner. If they could only talk and tell us who they were worn by.

Civil War Collector Continued from Page 37 doubt expensive in their day, and the owner had them made to show off. They are indeed almost twice the size of traditional rosettes, circa 1860 also. As far as value, that’s tough to say. Similar ones from out west rarely sell for more than a few hundred dollars (unless belonging to a prominent personality), and many can be bought for less. Few custom-monogrammed Civil War rosettes have turned up, and if identified with a prominent figure from that particular cavalry fight, who knows, they could be worth maybe $1,000-$2,000. I wonder if you could help me identify an old knife I found in my mother-in-law’s stuff. I think it is a souvenir knife, but I don’t really know for sure. The blade is marked “Texas Rangers.” Any information you could provide on its age and value would be very helpful. JS: Your knife is circa 1850 and made by Samuel Wragg of Sheffield, England, for the American market. Wragg is among the best-known and prolific makers circa 1840-1860. This is the third or fourth example known to the Bowie knife collecting community if this exact pattern. The knife appears as found and is no doubt original and authentic, as other examples are the exact configuration with the same patriotic cutlery handle with drooped-wing eagle motif in the pommel. Your handle is a bit bent, but the scabbard is perfect, with German silver mounts and original frog button intact. It will display beautifully. The 9-inch blade made this a menacing weapon, no doubt. “Texas Ranger” is the real value in this knife; it is a rare motto on Bowies (authentic examples). Two have been sold or offered in auction. The last was at Heritage Auction Galleries offered as lot 52078 on June 26, 2010. That knife was from the famous Norm Flayderman Collection. The presale estimate was $20,000-$25,000 with a reserve of $16,000, and it did not sell. That example was indeed nearly pristine with no defects, and if estimated lower, it may have sold for $7,000-$8,000 in my opinion. Condition is the key, and when you have rarity and condition, you never know what might happen in an auction. Since that time, there was another example sold at an auction I attended in California. It was cataloged as a fake etching, which it was not in my opinion. It lacked condition and still sold for more than $2,000. Your knife has “the look,” being untouched with a perfect scabbard, fine frosted blade with rich grime, soiling—the patina so desired among collectors that just can’t be faked. If I were cataloging your knife for auction, I would place a presale estimate of $3,000-$5,000 and know it would bring that range, but I would not be surprised to see it bring $6,000-$7,000. As far as I know, George K. Griggs was a colonel in the 38th Virginia Infantry. His diary records the time period between June 2nd, 1861 and August 1st, 1865 with daily

entries through most of the diary. In the attachment, you will see that I sent you the pages from Gettysburg and a page where he looks to have copied R. E. Lee’s farewell address at Appomattox. Please let me know what you think. JS: Diaries from the Civil War are among the most common artifacts surviving. Value is determined by aesthetics of the diary itself, but most important is the content. Your diary is most unusual in that it’s written by a high-ranking officer, Col. George K. Griggs of the 38th Virginia Infantry and has great detailed content spanning the entire war from June 1861 through Appomattox and several months thereafter. The size is larger than most pocket diaries of the day, but officers were able to carry more personal items such as this. His transcription of Robert E Lee’s “General Order No. 9” in the back of book is also a nice addition. The 38th fought in many battles of the Army of Northern Virginia and was part of General George Pickett’s division when at Gettysburg. It was part of the fabled “Pickett’s Charge” where casualties to Confederate soldiers were devastating. Griggs in his diary details the charge of the division on July 3, though not mentioning Pickett by name, and telling of a painful flesh wound where a mini ball pierced his thigh. Most Confederate diaries sell for no more than $2,000–$3,000, though there are a few exceptions that have brought more than $10,000. To realize the best price in my opinion, this diary should be sold at auction. There are several very good national and international auctions that market such material. There are several New York auction houses that have rare book and manuscript sales that this might fit in with, and Wes Cowan has an excellent reputation for selling important Civil War paper items at his auction in Cincinnati, Ohio. --------------John Sexton is an independent appraiser and expert of Civil War memorabilia.

Salvador Dali—The Art of Paying the Bill From artexpertswebsite.com comes the story of how Salvador Dali often took a crowd of his friends out to dinner and always paid the entire bill himself. The eccentric artist with the curved and pointy mustache who painted The Persistence of Memory was more crafty than charitable. Dali would order the most expensive dishes on the menu, and when the bill arrived, he would dutifully take out a personal check. After writing it out for the entire amount, he would turn it over and draw a picture on the back and sign it. Dali knew the restaurant owner would not cash a check with a signed, original Salvador Dali drawing on it. He correctly surmised that the little work of art would be framed and displayed in the restaurant. Thus, Dali avoided paying for huge banquets—except with a piece of personal artwork.

No-Miss Road Trip: The 55th Shenandoah Antiques Expo October in the Valley of Virginia is the perfect time to find brilliant foliage and plenty of antiques at the 55th Shenandoah Antiques Expo Friday, Oct. 10 through Sunday, Oct. 12 at Augusta Expoland (I64, Exit 91) in Fishersville, Va. This weekend getaway is just a quick jaunt over the mountain from Charlottesville. Heritage Promotions, located in Lynchburg, sponsors the sprawling indoor/outdoor event. “Since 1986 our Expo has grown into one of the most highly anticipated antiques shows in the Mid-Atlantic,” Raymond Stokes, a co-founder of Heritage Promotions, said. “Thousands of folks return to Fishersville because they scooped up cherished collectibles or antique furniture on their last trip.” Serious collectors as well as weekend travel buffs head for the gathering of 300+ expert dealers who set up indoors and outdoors. The extravaganza attracts antiques aficionados from Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and throughout the East Coast. “Collectors show up by sunrise on Friday for the 9 a.m. gate opening,” Stokes said. “They comb exhibition halls, barns, tents and stalls—and hit gold—even off trucks in the parking lot. The most avid collectors will hunt from dawn to dusk.” The Shenandoah Antiques Expo has a reputation for good 18th and 19th century American country furniture. English and Continental furniture and accessories turns the heads of discerning shoppers who prefer traditional design. Visitors also uncover a trove of jewelry, silver, glassware, primitives, rugs, and better collectibles such as stoneware, art, decoys, toys and Civil War memorabilia. Tastemakers of another sort snap up country Americana, such as early19th century painted furniture, and mid-century modern that tuck into eclectic interiors.
The show offers triple value, Stokes said. He quickly ticked them off. “Collectors find authentic pieces at fair prices. Why go north and spend more? Second, we draw the most reputable dealers from Florida to Maine. It’s not just about the sale. They take time to share curatorial expertise with anybody who has a question.” Then Stokes grinned: “Third, the Expo is sheer entertainment for anybody bitten by the antiques bug or somebody looking for a fun weekend. For a three-day $10 pass and free parking, you can search for a special piece that jumps out and you know it’s a keeper.” Heritage Promotions, based in Lynchburg, Va., has organized and staged the Shenandoah Antiques expo in Fishersville, VA, every May and October since 1986. They built the show’s reputation by working with top dealers to offer quality pieces at reasonable prices.
