257 SAMPLER .

Ma[ry] Cracraft, possibly Kentucky, early 19th century, silk on linen. Two elaborately detailed scenes. Upper section with three-story building labeled “Acade[my] “ connected by trees and a fence to a tall narrow building topped by a cross, a couple and a little black dog stand in the lawn. Bands of sawtooth embroidery divide the pious verse from the two scenes.

The lower part has various buildings, one with a smoking chimney, another with turrets and a windmill. Surrounded by densely worked floral vine border. Good color. Some imperfections. Unframed. 16”h. 16”w.

Although the few existing Kentucky samplers are less intricate, there is some evidence that this piece might have originated in Kentucky. The sampler has a history of being a Kentucky piece and the backing has an early 20th century Kentucky frame store label. The surname Cracraft appears repeatedly in early Kentucky records, including a Mary born in 1799 in Mason County. Several girls’ schools existed in the area including Mrs. Keats in Washington County, Loretto Academy in Mason County, and one in Lexington, established by an English woman, Mrs. Beck, that offered fashionable fancy work and embroidery. $800-$1,200 64 | GARTH’S September 4 - 5, 2009

565 FLINTLOCK SHOTGUN OF HISTORICAL INTEREST. Marked for J.B. Baucheron (w. 1823-1826), Paris. Damascus double barrels with a curly walnut stock. Inlaid brass maker’s mark on barrels and engraved hunting scenes on both locks, lockplates, hammers, and trigger guard; crowned “N” inlaid in brass on the barrels and in silver on the stock. Minor imperfections. 47 1/4”l. Ex Hammer Galleries (New York); ex H.S. Barton (Kentucky).

Baucheron began his work in Paris in 1822 with Louis Marin Gosset prior to working alone between 1823 and 1826.

Gosset had, from 1793 until 1813, worked in the shop of Nicholas Boutet, crown armorer to Napoleon I. The crowned “N” on the barrel and on the stock indicate that this shotgun was made for the House of Bonaparte. When sold by Hammer Galleries, the present gun was associated with Napoleon I, however given the date of manufacture (1823-1826), it seems more plausible that it was made for Franz, Napoleon’s son with his second wife, Maria Louise.

Despite living his entire life in Austria, young Franz was crowned emperor as Napoleon II in 1815, but his fictional reign lasted a mere fifteen days. He died of tuberculosis in 1832. $5,000-$8,000

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.

GARTH’S IS ALWAYS ACCEPTING QUALITY CONSIGNMENTS.

Call early to reserve space for upcoming auctions, including the Thanksgiving sale, featuring the Kennedy family photographs and other presidential material.

142 | GARTH’S September 4 - 5, 2009

Not many people can declare they held a job for nearly five decades, but the family of renowned Kennedy photographer, the late Robert Davidoff, can say with pride that Davidoff was the photographer “in residence” for the Kennedy family in Palm Beach for almost 50 years. Davidoff’s family waited until four years after his death to release a book, The Kennedy Family Album, in September 2008. Now, Babe Davidoff, widow of the photographer, has chosen, for the sale of the original photography used to create the book plus additional images not included in the publication and heretofore unseen by the general public, an auction house similarly dedicated to its own customers for over five decades. Garth’s Auctions is proud to announce that in the fall of 2009, it will present over 200 photographs which captured three generations of the Kennedy family while at the “Winter White House” during President John F. Kennedy’s administration through the eventual sale of the Palm Beach home.

A freelance photographer, Davidoff first photographed then President-elect John F. Kennedy along side President Herbert Hoover and Ambassador Joseph Kennedy during a party for Hoover in Palm Beach. However, it wasn’t until Davidoff later met Rose Kennedy that he was invited by the matriarch to become a true family intimate capturing photos destined to be part of the families’ personal archives.

Garth’s will also feature other presidential material of note in this landmark sale with more information to follow in the coming months. For information on consigning your piece of historic presidential memorabilia, contact Jeff Jeffers or Andrew Richmond at 740.362.4771 or via email at info@garths.com.
