GENERAL BENJAMIN BRICE’S CASED PAIR OF FINE PINFIRE REVOLVERS. Marked with a crowned “AF”, probably Belgium, mid 19th century. Approximately .47 caliber, six-shot cylinder, 6” octagonal barrel, elaborate engraving, gilt finish, and carved ebony grips. In a rosewood case with brass plaques reading “General Brice” and “M.s. S.F. Durgold” (or “Purgold”) and including ebony and ivory tools and pinfire cartridges. Benjamin Brice (1809-1892) was born in what is now Harrison County, West Virginia, attended West Point, and served in the Black Hawk War before returning to civilian life as a lawyer in Licking County, Ohio. In 1846, he as appointed an adjutant general of the Ohio militia, but resigned to re-enlist in the US Army during the Mexican War. It was then he began his career as a military paymaster, ultimately overseeing all military payroll during and after the Civil War. Brice is credited with modernizing military pay in the later years of the Civil War. This pair of pinfires are discussed in the November 1961 issue of The Gun Report (copies of which are included with the lot), having been found in an antique shop in Pittsburgh by the article’s author, Ralph Frederick. When Frederick purchased the pair, the brass plaque reading “M.s. S.F. Durgold” was affixed overtop the Brice plaque (the weld scar is still visible). No information has ever been found on Durgold (or Purgold), and it is not known why his plaque was placed on top of Brice’s. $5,000-$10,000

Reves spent much of his time as a bushwhacker in Arkansas and Missouri. On Christmas Day of 1863, Union Major James Wilson attacked Reves’ holiday camp meeting at Doniphan, Missouri, killing or capturing over one hundred-fifty soldiers and sixty civilians. This action outraged the local

southern sympathizers and swelled Reves’ ranks with new recruits. The fol lowing September at the Battle of Pilot Knob, Major Wilson was captured. Reves then took him and six of his men to a clearing and shot them, leaving the bodies for the Union Army to find days later. This killing resulted in the Union retaliatory killing of Major Enoch Wolf of the Confederate Arkansas Cavalry, under the orders of Union General William Rosecrans. After the close of the war, when Confederate troops were given a general amnesty, Colonel Timothy Reves refused parole. He returned to Ripley County and his life as a preacher until his death in 1885. See Lowry, Confederate Heroines: 120 Southern Women Convicted by Union Military Justice, pp. 7-12.

"For over one half century, we have collected lived with - and enjoyed Antiques. Carl spent over fifty years in the commercial radiator business started by his father in 1920. Joyce is a retired elementary public school teacher. Our first collecting passion was for Edwardian era antique automobiles and mechanical music (music boxes, automaton, orchestrion, etc.) Shortly after our marriage in 1962, we purchased the brick Federal style Abraham and Abigail Hine home (circa 1830) in Tallmadge, Ohio. Thus began a forty year quest for historic preservation. At that time, our collecting expanded to include the decorative arts (antiques) to properly furnish our (new) old house. In 1962, also began our first experience with Garth's. Garth Oberlander was selling John and Winn Dennison's (friends of ours) collection. Some of these pieces are now in this sale. That sale was the beginning of a long, pleasant, and rewarding experience with Garth's Auction House culminating with this Catalogue. That sale also was the beginning of a new journey of discovery. We've met mentors, made friends, and enjoyed the company of fellow collectors throughout these years. Many Dealers from this period whom we have frequented, have since passed away such as Thelma Harding from New Philadelphia, Gailey Wilson from Hickory, Pennsylvania, Charles Momchilov from Jeromesville, Mary Thornton, Norwalk, George Samaha, Milan, Joe Stevens, Canton and many others. We have raised three children in our restored home who have grown up and moved on. And, as Garth Oberlander used to say, "the burden of stewardship was growing too heavy". So, a couple of years ago we packed up a few of our favorite pieces and moved to our restored 1872 Carriage House on Sandy Lake where we spend lazy days and experience some of the most beautiful sunsets in northeast Ohio. So, the time has come to dispose of the things we have lived with and loved. Hopefully, these things will bring others the same enjoyment that we have been so fortunate to experience." ~ Carl and Joyce Mueller

We are fortunate and proud to represent the Muellers' collection. They have watched Garth's change and grow, as much as everyone at Garth's has watched their collection change and grow. We hope you enjoy this collection as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. ~ Amelia & Jeff Jeffers

PORTRAIT OF A LADY ATTRIBUTED TO MANLY NEHEMIAH WHIPPLE (OHIO, 1814-1843). Pencil on paper, unsigned. Bust-length portrait, ca. 1840.

Toning and some wrinkling. 10”h. 8”w., appears to retain its original molded poplar frame with its original black paint, 11 3/4”h. 9 7/8”w. Whipple was born in Vermont and moved with his family to Granville, Licking County, Ohio, when he was two. Trained as a stonecutter and sculptor, the Old Colony Burying Ground in Granville has six stones signed by him, and Whipple sketched a portrait of himself at work, cutting stones in a log cabin (see Kern and Warwick, “Four Ohio Nineteenth-Century Folk Artists”, in The Magazine Antiques, August 2007, figure 12). By the early 1840s, he was working in Rossville in Butler County, and advertised in the Hamilton Intelligencer “Paint and Sculpture: M.N. Whipple would respectfully inform the citizens in Rossville and vicinity that he is prepared to execute Portrait or Bust likenesses in a style to please the people, and prices to suit the times.” His portraiture has only recently been “discovered”, and while the the sitter is unidentified and the drawing unsigned, the present portrait can be attributed to Whipple based on overall composition and style, and in particular, the rendering of the eyelid and eyebrow. See Kern and Warwick, figures 1 and 15, as well as The Whipple Website (www.whipple.org). $1,000-$2,000

GARTH’S POLICY

GUARANTEE: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. continues to be committed to providing thorough descriptions that reflect our belief in service through honesty, integrity and attention to detail. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalogue description, with the exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. “Origin” is defined as the creator, period, culture, or source, as set forth in the first bold line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions – Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, Garth’s Auctions, Inc. does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Garth’s does not guarantee the authenticity of any item created before 1500. Regarding all jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. Regarding colored stones: purchasers are reminded that colored stones and diamonds may be enhanced by using one or more techniques, including but not limited to: clarity enhancements, resins, and heat treatment. Garth’s makes no warranty express or implied to the buyer as to whether a natural stone has been enhanced. Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold “as is”.

BUYING FOR OUR ACCOUNT: The owners and employees of Garth’s Auctions, Inc. never have, nor ever will buy any item at our auction for ourselves.

LIABILITY: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin of a lot for a period of twenty-one days from the date of the auction and only to the original purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser’s expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. and the purchaser, before Garth’s Auctions, Inc. determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee. The purchaser’s sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase price and premium paid by the purchaser. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen.

WITHDRAWN LOTS: Garth’s Auction, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of the property.

SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the auctioneer’s gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.

DISPUTED AND REJECTED BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to re-open the bidding on the disputed lot. The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item’s worth. We make every attempt, for the benefit of both seller and buyer, to create lots that reflect the quality of our cataloged merchandise. Therefore, any lot not receiving an opening bid of at least $50.00 will be passed.

ESTIMATES & RESERVES: Presale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of actual gavel price. Some of the items in this auction are subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Garth’s Auctions, Inc. The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate.

DEFINITIONS OF STATEMENTS: a) “Attributed to” – work is of the period of the named artist and may be the work of that artist, but not definitely so. b) “Circle of” – work of the period closely associated with the artist or from his studio. c) “School of” – work by a pupil or follower of the artist, in his style. d) “After” – in our opinion, a copy of the work of the artist. e) “Signed” – has a signature that in our opinion is the signature of the artist. f) “Bears signature” – has signature that in our opinion might be the signature of the artist.

PREVIEWS: We encourage our clients to come and examine the items before each auction. Preview times are listed in the forward of each catalog. The stage is closed during the auction.
