ANCIENT ART OF THE EASTERN WOODLANDS: THE ART GERBER COLLECTION

THE COWAN’S DIFFERENCE Welcome to Cowan’s. Our mission is to bring exceptional objects to sophisticated buyers, with passion, respect and integrity.

Specialists at Cowan’s Auctions have a variety of backgrounds with decades of experience in everything from academia to museums and institutions to retail. They regularly give lectures across the country and several are frequent appraisers on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow, Kentucky Collectibles, and Colorado Collectibles.

In addition to the auctions themselves, our services include Property Evaluations and Appraisals, Estate and Trust Advising, Private Treaty Sales, Professional Packing and Transport Service, and Full Service In-House Shipping.

With offices in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Denver, Cowan’s holds over 40 auctions each year, with annual sales exceeding $16M. We continue to set record prices for American Indian Art, Modern Ceramics, American History, and Fine Art. A leader in the Fine Art and Antiques auction business, Cowan’s has disrupted the marketplace since we first opened in 1995. We were among the earliest houses to build a website and one of the first to sell online. In 2014, Cowan’s, along with five of our competitors, launched Bidsquare.com, an online bidding platform where auction houses are vetted to ensure honesty and quality.

C. Wesley Cowan Founder, Chairman and Principal Auctioneer

But, like many companies, Cowan’s started small. A collector since early childhood, founder Wes Cowan began collecting photographs of 19th century America while working on his PhD at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In 1984, he joined the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History as Curator of Archaeology. Along the way, he kept building his knowledge of early photography and the history it captured. In 1995 he left the museum, became a licensed auctioneer, and launched Cowan’s Auctions, Inc. Cowan’s Auctions quickly built a reputation for quality, bringing a new level of scholarship and honesty to the arena. The business grew rapidly as Cowan’s added expertise in American Indian Art, Furniture, Paintings and Decorative Art, Jewelry, Antique Firearms, and Modern Ceramics.

Today, Cowan’s attracts buyers from around the globe. We take pride in our reputation for integrity, customer service and great results.

ARTHUR J. GERBER, 1938-2017: REMEMBRANCE AND REFLECTION

By C. Wesley Cowan Ph.D. June 25, 2018 Cowan’s is pleased to offer the first of three auctions of the Art Gerber Collection of Ancient Art of the Eastern Woodlands. Art was so well known among the collecting community that one might wonder, why Cowan’s?

While I first met Art only a few months before he died, I knew of him long before I had the opportunity to visit the vault at “Fort Gerber,” and he had certainly heard of me. As a former museum curator and professional archaeologist, I was well aware of Art’s reputation as a collector of prehistoric art of the Ohio Valley. His efforts to salvage artifacts that were routinely slumping into the Ohio River at the fabled Crib Mound in Spencer County, Indiana and, of course, his conviction for violation of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act for activities at the so-called GE Mound, were part of the routine dialog at professional archaeological conferences. Art was both well-known and controversial.

On another, deeper level, I knew Art long before I ever met him. Years before I received a Ph.D. in anthropology and was a college professor, museum curator and finally, auctioneer, I had spent countless hours of my youth walking the banks of the Ohio River and plowed fields in Kentucky and Indiana searching for artifacts left behind by prehistoric peoples. Through my junior high school participation in the old Louisville Archaeological Society, I had met legendary collectors Gene Atherton, Jim Mathews, and Jerry Hoehler, and others. I had always hoped to find a bannerstone, and when I did — searching the spoil heaps of the famous Lone Hill site in western Jefferson County, Kentucky — I was hooked.

As a result, Art and I were kindred spirits. We both understood the powerful motivation of the hunt, and the thrill of discovery.

While my path took a decidedly different turn, and led me to pursue a professional career specializing in the archaeology of the Ohio Valley, Art’s passion was played out in a different way. The collection of prehistoric relics Art assembled were testament to anyone fortunate enough to enter his vault at Fort Gerber. It would be a mistake, however, to see these auctions as simply the dispersal of the work of a lifetime. Art’s 50 year plus collection represents much more.

Much of Art’s collection centered on the Crib Mound. Today, this deeply stratified site — probably one of the single most important archaeological sites in the lower Ohio Valley — is all but gone, eroded by wave action from barge traffic and rising water-levels. Beginning in the 1960s the site became a magnet for collectors who visited the site during periods of flood, and who then scoured “the beach” when the water receded. Season after season, year after year, the site slowly slipped into the Ohio. The value of scientific information lost is incalculable.

ANCIENT ART OF THE EASTERN WOODLANDS: THE ART GERBER COLLECTION

Art — and a host of other collectors — salvaged what they could. By the standards of the professional archaeologist, their methods were sometimes controversial and their motivation was largely driven by the thrill of discovery. But one can legitimately say that without their efforts, no trace of this important site would remain.

Late in life, Art began recording the history of many of the artifacts in his collection by marking them in ink, and recording information about their location in a series of ledger books. For the most part, the recordings are accompanied by a pen and ink drawing (typically an outline of the object). Throughout the present sale catalog, we have attempted to include this information in the lot description. These provenance data are important, and should serve as a model for ALL collectors.

And so, it is in this spirit that Cowan’s brings the Gerber Collection to market. While each lot is illustrated by a “pretty picture,” we also seek to make a permanent record of provenance. Unlike many of the great collections that have been dispersed, it is our hope that this and future catalogs will form a digital record that will survive long after the auctions.

These catalogs are meant to complement The Art Gerber Story.

A Lifetime of Collecting Along the Ohio River, and of course, the prehistory of the Ohio Valley. We make no apologies for presenting these artifacts and their collecting history. For the collector and professional alike, these sales will represent a record of provenance and of a period of collecting that will never be repeated.

A WORD ABOUT AUTHENTICITY, CONDITION AND RESTORATION Cowan’s strives to sell only authentic artifacts. We view the sheer number of fraudulent artifacts in the marketplace a threat to the collecting hobby, and frankly, place little stock in “Certificates of Authenticity” and prefer to offer old, well-documented artifacts.

We recognize that there may be disagreement between various parties regarding the authenticity of an artifact. Before placing a bid, we invite you, or a surrogate to physically examine any artifact of interest. No artifact deemed spurious by a bidder or his surrogates may be returned after the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer.

As you read the catalog and examine the photographs in the catalog, please be aware that some of the artifacts in the Gerber collection have been expertly restored. Art was widely known for this habit, and, while we recognize that restoration might affect the overall value of an artifact, we believe that these beautifully conserved artifacts still have value to collectors who knew Art personally or by reputation.

Wherever possible, we have noted restoration in the catalog description. Many of the artifacts were photographed under florescent (“black”) light, and we have posted these images on the web description (cowans.com). Before the sale, we welcome your questions regarding any of the lots in the catalog and will be happy to provide more photographs or descriptions.

Because of the care we have taken with these descriptions, no restored artifact may be returned after the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer.

NOTES ON THE ART GERBER CATALOG SYSTEM

By William Koup June 2018 A LIFETIME OF COLLECTING ALONG THE OHIO RIVER The Arthur J. Gerber Collection is a tangible 8000-year historical record of human occupation and life along the Ohio River.

The life of the man himself is inextricably linked to the mighty Ohio River from his birth near the river in Evansville to his childhood home in Cannelton, Indiana, just a few steps from the river. His professional photography career in Tell City was within vision of the river. And of course his avocation of artifact collecting was spent hunting along the Ohio River or aone of its many tributaries. There must be some irony in the fact that this auction will be held within a few miles of the Ohio. As the subtitle of his book, The Art Gerber Story states, it truly was a lifetime of collecting along the Ohio River.

The Art Gerber collection is undoubtedly one of the largest and finest Ohio River Valley collections ever assembled. This auction presents a rare opportunity for collectors of prehistoric art to acquire significant and well-documented artifacts from the collection of Arthur J. Gerber.

THE ART GERBER CATALOG Art Gerber’s personal artifact catalog is a good catalog, but unfortunately it is not a complete catalog. What he did leave is an excellent record of artifacts that were in his collection from about 1980 to about 1990. Artifacts collected prior to 1980 are

entered into the catalog, but artifacts added to his collection after about 1990 to his death are not. Small, neatly scripted numbers and letters were written on each of his artifacts from the 1960s to around 1990. These numbers correspond to a carefully traced artifact and often a handwritten entry. Some entries have detailed information regarding locations found and previous collections but many do not. This is the system he used.

THE GERBER CATALOG SYSTEM AG 1-AG 836: FLINT AG B1-AG B97: BANNERSTONES AG P1-AG P27: PIPES AG H1-AG H162: HARDSTONE (Axes, Celts, Discoidals, etc.)

AG SB1-AG SB 434: SHELL AND BONE In preparing this auction catalog, logistics and time made it impossible to record and publish every Gerber catalog number within these pages. But the preservation of this knowledge is essential. Therefore, if an item is purchased at auction that has a Gerber Catalog number on it but it is not listed in the item description, the new owner may contact William Koup by email for any additional catalog information that might be available. wkoup@comcast.net.

23 A MAGNIFICENT HOPEWELL CACHE Hopewell Culture, Middle Woodland Period, 100 B.C. - A.D. 500 Spencer County, Indiana lot of 19, blade length 11 in.

Arguably one of the most significant Hopewell assemblages found in the state of Indiana, this group was recovered near the Ohio River, directly across from the city of Owensboro, Kentucky. Gerber, being a prominent collector in the Ohio River Valley, was notified of this discovery immediately. He quickly negotiated to purchase the cache, which he retained for the rest of his life.

Seldom, if ever, has such an important cache been offered to the public. The assemblage has remained intact since its discovery. Included in this framed lot are the below listed 19 items, just as Art pictured and displayed them.

A Thin Hopewell Ross Blade, Mill Creek chert, length 11 in. (AG 831) A Hopewell Platform Pipe, highly polished peach colored stone, length 3.25 in.

Terms and Conditions A NOTE ABOUT AUTHENTICITY, CONDITION AND RESTORATION Cowan’s strives to sell only authentic artifacts. We view the sheer number of fraudulent artifacts in the marketplace a threat to the collecting hobby, and frankly, place little stock in “Certificates of Authenticity” and prefer to offer old, well-documented artifacts.

We recognize that there may be disagreement between various parties regarding the authenticity of an artifact. Before placing a bid, we invite you, or a surrogate to physically examine any artifact of interest. No artifact deemed spurious by a bidder or his surrogates may be returned after the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer.

As you read the catalog and examine the photographs in the catalog, please be aware that some of the artifacts in the Gerber collection have been expertly restored. Art was widely known for this habit, and, while we recognize that restoration might affect the overall value of an artifact, we believe that these beautifully conserved artifacts still have value to collectors who knew Art personally or by reputation.

Wherever possible, we have noted restoration in the catalog description. Many of the artifacts were photographed under florescent (“black”) light, and we have posted these images on the web description (cowans.com). Before the sale, we welcome your questions regarding any of the lots in the catalog and will be happy to provide more photographs or descriptions.

Because of the care we have taken with these descriptions, no restored artifact may be returned after the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer.

By registering and bidding in an auction conducted by Cowan’s Auctions, Inc. (“Cowan’s”), Bidders (whether present in person, by telephone, by agent, by written or telephone absentee bid instruction, or through a live internet connection) agree to be bound by these terms. These are the complete and only terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. Cowan’s retains the right to bar any Bidder from participating in any auction and to exclude or reject any bid.

1) ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS Bidding on any item, whether in person, by phone, by absentee bid or via a live internet auction indicates the Bidder’s agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for Bidders. Any right of Bidder under this agreement shall not be assignable and shall only be enforceable by the original buyer. The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws of the state of Ohio. All Bidders submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Hamilton County in the State of Ohio.

2) REGISTRATION All Bidders must register their name, permanent street address (no P.O. Boxes), and telephone number prior to the auction. Unless known to Cowan’s, all registrants are required to present two forms of identification, at least one of which must include a current photograph. Bidders may be required to present a valid credit card. By registering with Cowan’s or submitting an absentee bid form, registrant authorizes Cowan’s to obtain a copy of his or her consumer credit report and authorizes Cowan’s, at its sole discretion, to use the information contained therein to make business decisions regarding the registrant’s participation in the bidding process.

3) TERMS OF SALE Announcements made the day of auction take precedence over any previous communication. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest Bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the “buyer”. If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more Bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful Bidder will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold.

4) BUYER’S PREMIUM (a) Buyer’s Premium for live “Antique and Modern Firearms” auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 17.5% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $500,000, plus 10% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $500,000. (b) Buyer’s Premium for all other auctions the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 20% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $500,000, plus 15% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $500,000. (c) Buyer’s Premium for online, timed and other third-party bidding platforms may vary.

5) ESTIMATES AND RESERVES Presale estimates are intended to be guides and may or may not reflect the ultimate hammer price of a lot. Cowan’s retains the right to change estimates on any lot up to time of sale. A reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the Seller of the lot and Cowan’s. In the case of reserved lots, the Seller has authorized Cowan’s to bid on Seller’s behalf until the reserve price is reached. In no case will the reserve be higher than the low presale estimate. Unless otherwise stated, Cowan’s standard house reserve on all property at auction is one-half of the low estimate.

6) WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS Cowan’s makes a limited warranty only to the original buyer of record concerning the authenticity of each lot for a period of 14 days after Bidder’s receipt of the purchased lot. If a buyer is not satisfied that the lot purchased is genuine, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed lot. If these experts determine that the item is not genuine, the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the rescission of the sale and refund of the amount paid for the item. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of the sale and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law or in equity, and such remedy is conditioned upon the buyer returning the property in the same condition as at the time of sale. Cowan’s shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds except as provided in this limited warranty.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, EVERY LOT IS SOLD “AS IS”, without any representations or warranties by Cowan’s or the Seller as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, condition or value of the property, or the correctness or completeness of the catalog or other description of the property, and no statement, whether written or oral, shall be deemed such a representation, warranty or assumption of liability. Cowan’s makes no representation or warranty that the buyer of manuscript material, photographs, prints or works of art will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights. Cowan’s does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given in the catalog descriptions may be approximate.

7) INSPECTION Prospective buyers are advised to personally examine any lots in which they are interested prior to the auction. All lots are available for inspection prior to the auction. Condition reports for most items can be found online at Cowan’s website, www.cowans.com, and prospective Bidders are encouraged to contact Cowan’s directly for additional information regarding the condition of any lot. Cowan’s does not warrant the condition of any item. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Buyers interested in the condition of an item are encouraged to contact Cowan’s and, to the best of our ability, we will document for the prospective Bidder the condition status on any lot. Condition is always a subjective evaluation and final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of any item sold by Cowan’s.

8) DEFINITIONS OF AUTHORSHIP “By” or “Maker/Artist” — in our opinion, the work is by the artist or maker stated “Attributed to” — in our opinion, the work is probably, but not definitely, by the artist or maker stated “Signed” or “Marked” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is that of the stated artist or maker “Bearing the signature (or mark) of” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is probably, but not definitely, that of the artist or maker stated “Circle of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and by an artist or maker closely associated with the stated artist or maker “School of” — in our opinion, the work is by a pupil or follower of the stated artist or maker “Manner of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and done in the style of the stated artist or maker “After” — in our opinion, the work is a copy of a work by the stated artist or maker ABSENTEE, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET BIDDING Absentee and telephone bidding is offered as a free service to our customers and prospective Bidders. Cowan’s shall not be responsible for any errors or 118

failures in executing bids, either absentee, telephone or via the internet. Cowan’s cannot warrant or guarantee any phone or absentee bids made or altered on the day of the auction. All bids must be placed in U.S. Dollars and reflect the bid increments as defined by the Auctioneer.

9) ABSENTEE BIDDING Absentee bids are accepted via phone, fax, email and on Cowan’s website. Such bids will be posted with the time and date of arrival, with ties being awarded to the earliest Bidder. Absentee bids that are faxed or emailed to Cowan’s need to be in the office at least 2 hours before the sale begins.

An absentee Bidder unknown to Cowan’s may be required to submit a bank letter of credit prior to the auction, or, using a credit card, deposit with Cowan’s a fee equaling 30% of the absentee bid.

All absentee bids are executed competitively by a member of the auction staff. The auction staff will try to purchase the lot for the lowest price possible and will bid up to the amount designated by the absentee Bidder only if necessary. Cowan’s does not accept “buy bids,” or absentee bids which have no limit. In the event of a tie bid between a floor and an absentee Bidder, the floor bid will be honored.

10) TELEPHONE BIDDING Bidding live via the telephone is available on a first come, first served basis. In order for Cowan’s to efficiently serve the needs of those who wish to bid by phone, please note the following: (a) To participate in the auction by telephone, potential Bidders must complete and sign the bid form and check “I WISH TO BID BY TELEPHONE” for the designated lots. Potential Bidders may also reserve a phone line on Cowan’s website. If faxing or emailing requests for phone bidding, they need to be in Cowan’s office 2 hours before the sale begins. Once the auction begins, bids left on Cowan’s website or emailed may not be retrieved by the staff. (b) As a registered telephone bidder, Bidders are aware the bidding begin at the minimum of one half of the low estimate. (c) Telephone Bidders are advised to indicate an “insurance bid”, which amount will become an absentee bid, pursuant to the absentee bidding process set forth above, if Cowan’s cannot reach the Bidder by telephone for a particular indicated lot. (d) Telephone Bidders must disable any caller ID or other call blocking mechanism. (e) Cowan’s sells about 100 lots per hour, so telephone Bidders should plan accordingly. Cowan’s will attempt to reach each telephone Bidder, but Cowan’s is in no way responsible for missed calls.

11) INTERNET BIDDING Internet bidding is available through our website; additionally, Cowan’s may post certain auctions on Bidsquare.com or Proxibid.com.

There may be terms which apply solely to internet bids that should be reviewed online at the time of sale. Cowan’s is not responsible for any failure to execute a bid and shall have no liability to any Bidder for any technical or other failure associated with an internet auction.

12) BIDDING INCREMENTS The following increments are used at the auction. Absentee bids must fall within these increments. Cowan’s will automatically adjust any absentee bid to the closest increment if the bid falls outside the published range of increments.

For Bids Falling Between Bidding Increment $0-500 $25 $501-1,000 $50 $1,001-3,000 $100 $3,001-5,000 $250 $5,001 and up $500 or at the discretion of the auctioneer Cowan’s reserves the right to modify increments at any time during the auction.

AFTER THE AUCTION 13) BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY Upon the fall of the hammer, title to the offered lot shall pass to the buyer and the buyer immediately (a) assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot, including liability for loss or damage and (b) is liable for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Cowan’s. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ask specific questions on condition related concerns prior to the auction. Cowan’s will not rescind sales with buyers that have disputes regarding firearm’s bore condition.

14) PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT The “Purchase Price” for each lot shall equal the hammer price, buyer’s premium, sales tax and, if applicable, all packing, handling, insurance and shipping costs. Buyers who are present at the auction must pay the full Purchase Price at the time of the sale. Buyers who bid by telephone, by internet, or who are absentee Bidders will be invoiced within 5 days after the close of the auction and must pay the full Purchase Price for each purchased lot within 14 days after the date of the auction. No property will be released by Cowan’s unless the Purchase Price has been paid in full and the payment has cleared.

Payments must be made with cash, personal or traveler’s check or credit card or wire transfers. Bidders from outside the continental United States are required to pay via wire transfer unless previously known to Cowan’s. For Fine Jewelry, Coin and Currency, and Fine Silver auctions, Bidders previously unknown to Cowan’s may purchase up to $1,000 via credit card with the remaining balance settled via cash, personal or traveler’s check or credit card or wire transfers.

Bidders without prior credit card approval who intend on making purchases in excess of $10,000 must provide credit information such as a bank letter of credit prior to bidding.

PLEASE NOTE: A surcharge of 3% will be assessed to all credit card transactions. This surcharge is not greater than our cost of acceptance.

Institutional billing may be available, and should be arranged prior to the auction.

Cowan’s may impose late charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest interest rate allowed) on any amount owed to Cowan’s that remains unpaid after 30 days.

Buyer shall be liable for any collection costs or attorney’s fees incurred by Cowan’s to collect payment, to the extent permitted by law.

15) SALES TAX Buyers are required to pay any applicable state and local sales tax.

16) SHIPPING At the request of the buyer, Cowan’s will authorize the shipment of purchased items usually within two weeks after payment has been received. Shipment is generally made via UPS or Fed-Ex Ground. Unless buyer gives special instructions, the shipping method shall be at the sole discretion Cowan’s Auctions. Cowan’s is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers, packers or shippers of purchased items or for any loss, damage or delay from the packing or shipping of any property.

ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS Cowan’s will not ship any package containing a firearm to any location other than within the United States. Buyers outside the United States must make their own shipping arrangements taking full risk for the transportation of any firearm.

Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If a purchase contains these materials, the Buyer must check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee that you can obtain the other. Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied.

17) SHIPPING CHARGES Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the successful Bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.

18) REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY AND CANCELLATION OF SALE It is the responsibility of the Buyer to remove purchased property. If purchased property has not been removed, or Cowan’s has not received shipping instructions within 90 days after the auction date, Cowan’s may, at its option, cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payments made by the buyer, and/or resell the property at auction or by any other commercially reasonable means, for the account and at the risk of the buyer, and in such event, buyer shall be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all of Cowan’s costs, including but not limited to storage and costs of both sales. This right of cancellation is in addition to any and all other remedies available to Cowan’s.
