The Folk Art Collection of Donald Staley lots 488–536, 1,235–1,247 Donald Staley (1933-2010) a career advertising copy writer, creative director and collector is best known as the co-founder, designer and chief writer of The J. Peterman Company catalog. His whimsical, romantic copy for the catalog was famously satirized on Seinfeld and in Garry Trudeau’s comic strip Doonesbury. Staley ran an ad agency with his wife, Dian, in a large, sunny East 54th street New York apartment, filled with books, furniture and decorative objects collected in travels around the world. Asian, English, South American, African and Continental furnishings mixed comfortably with toys, prints, botanical specimans and American Folk paintings. American Folk art was the focus of the Staley’s collecting in the decade of the 1970’s. Staley’s collection expresses a preference for the freshness of the mediums of ink, watercolor and pastel on paper over oil on canvas, and a preference for “quirky” small portraits. It is with great pleasure that Freeman’s offers the Folk Art Collection of Donald Staley in this Americana Auction and the Pennsylvania Sale.

The Pennsylvania Sale
Furniture & Decorative Arts lots: 902–1326 Sunday November 20, 2011
From the Collection of Robert and Lillian Robinson lot 902–1096 In 1945, the industrialist Robert C. Robinson (1918–1993) founded Keystone Wire & Ironworks, Inc.—a company that provided steel for impressive, largescale structures such as skyscrapers and sports arenas. Robert’s passion for steel transcended the workplace, as evidenced by the ever-growing group of antique automobiles that found shelter in Robert’s garage. Robert’s collecting habits, though, soon evolved when he began collecting antique clocks—an understandable shift of interest given the intricate mechanisms that power both objects. Robert emerged a collector driven by a sincere appreciation for originality and uniqueness of design. During the 1940’s to the 1960’s, Robert and his wife Lillian (1918–2011) traveled throughout the Pennsylvania and New York regions in search of exceptional antiques with which to decorate their family residence. The couple’s colonial home in Jenkintown served as a testament to their shared discerning taste and eye for craftsmanship; the rooms exhibited a fine and varied collection of early American furniture, paintings, and decorative arts, with a special emphasis on Pennsylvania items. Freeman’s is proud to offer a selection of items from Robert’s and Lillian’s collection at auction.

1153 11-1943/1 Pair of silver mounted and inlaid pistols thomas ketland, birmingham, circa 1775 Polished iron 7-inch round barrels, lock boxes engraved with shells and “T. Ketland” , hammers are fish- engraved, walnut grips with silver thread inlays, floral engraved trigger guard, silver grotesque mask head butts. Converted to percussion mechanism. L: 11 1/4 in. provenance: According to family tradition, these pistols were presented to Captain Benjamin Chambers (1755-1813) by General George Washington for his service and valor during the battles of Long Island, Brandywine and Germantown and retreat from Long Island. Recorded in J. McDowell Sharpe’s “A Memoir of George Chambers of Chambersburg, late Vice-President of the Society,” read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, February 17, 1873, and also in the History of Franklin County Pennsylvania Illustrated 1887, p 625., “When a youth of but twenty years,(Benjamin Chambers) he enlisted in the company of his brother, Capt. James Chambers, and marched with it to Boston. Soon after he joined the army he was commissioned a captain, and involved in the campaigns of 1776 to 1778 from Boston, New Jersey, Brandywine and Germantown, with credit and gallantry. During the retreat from Long Island, the Pennsylvania troops were assigned to the distinguished, but hazardous honor of covering the movement. While assisting in this delicate and perilous maneuver, Capt. Chambers had the great good fortune to arrest the attention of Gen. Washington, win his commendation, and receive from him as a signal token of his approbation, a handsome pair of silver-mounted pistols, which have always been treasured as a precious heirloom in the family.” Chambers bequeaths in his will to his son Benjamin, “my gold watch, my sword and pistols.” Benjamin had no children, and the pistols were willed to brother Thomas Chambers, thence to his daughter Frances. Photocopies of the will, and the volumes listed above accompany lot. Benjamin Chambers was the son of Colonel Benjamin Chambers (d. 1788), the founder of Chambersburg, and his second wife Jane Williams. After the Revolution, Benjamin returned to Chambersburg to attend to farms and mills. $20,000-30,000
