t is appropriate that Macy O. Hallock collected Civil War firearms, as he was a relative of Civil War General Henry W. Halleck (the family name has been spelled different ways over the generations). Of course, Hallock collected more than just guns—a 1940 newspaper article written about him describes some of his “25 collections,” including American Indian relics (his primary passion), as well as smoking pipes, fossils, buttons, coins, and much more. A dealer as well as a collector, Hallock and his wife, Clara, exhibited at many antique shows in the Midwest in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, often in period costume portraying Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. It wasn’t long before Macy’s son, also named Macy, joined the game, helping his father drive to and from shows, setting up their booths, and of course, selling all manner of antiques. Today, the tradition continues as the children and grandchildren of the younger Macy travel with their father and grandfather to shows. These days, however, the family’s focus is principally on Civil War firearms, edged weapons, and accoutrements. Although you will still likely see them at shows and auctions (one never really retires in this business), the Hallock family has decided to begin dispersing their multi-generational collection. Garth’s is honored to have been enlisted to help in this process, starting with approximately 200 lots in our Annual Labor Day Weekend Auction in this, the 150th year after the start of the American Civil War.

146A CIVIL WAR ALS FROM MAJOR GENERAL HENRY W. HALLECK. Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, dated April 22, 1862, to Major General John Pope. 1 page, front and back. Imperfections. 147
A West Point graduate, Halleck (1815-1872) was an astute military scholar and administrative officer, but was somewhat lackluster as a field officer. He spent the early part of the war in the western theater, during which time he oversaw the actions of his future commander, General Ulysses S. Grant. Following the bloodbath at Shiloh in April of 1862, Halleck took over operations, culminating in the Siege of Corinth, Mississippi. The present letter represents Halleck’s orders for General Pope as the Armies of the Tennessee, the Ohio, and the Mississippi maneuvered against Confederate forces at Corinth. While Halleck was effective at capturing the important railroad town, his campaign was considered tedious and ineffective, especially given the talented Union officers present. Shortly thereafter, Lincoln called Halleck to Washington to assume the position of General-in-Chief of the Union armies, a post which he held until Grant took command in 1864. $100-$200

VIRGINIA BARE February 18, 1925 – June 11, 2011
WILLIAM R. DENNISON, JR. January 31, 1918 – February 4, 2011
It's no wonder Virginia Bare considered red her signature color. After all, red is the color of love, and Virginia loved deeply: her family, her friends, her antiques, and her houses. Over 50 years, Virginia traveled throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and New England, often with her dear friend, Sam Forsythe or beloved daughter, Julie, seeking old and beautiful objects to sell in her shop or enjoy in her home. She read voraciously and became a trusted and knowledgeable resource on everything from redware to glass to furniture. Passionate and tireless in her dedication to the things she loved, Virginia always had time for one more joke, one more great find, and one more old house that needed to be restored. She is remembered as the epitome of class and integrity and her easy laugh and warm smile will be missed by those who loved and admired her.
Bill Dennison bought his first antique in the early 1950's when he saw through a white painted surface to the beautiful form of a cherry one-drawer stand. The thrill of that find would drive a passion for form and craftsmanship that spanned more than 60 years. With his wife, Catherine, Bill scoured shows, shops and auctions throughout western Pennsylvania and Ohio – keeping company with some of the best known dealers and collectors in the 1970's. His military and law backgrounds instilled an appreciation and drive for scholarship; and he educated himself by reading hundreds of books on antiques and art. But the true drive behind his buying decisions was the old adage, “buy what makes you smile.”
Virginia Bare and Bill Dennison attended many auctions in the barn at Garth's over the past 50 years. Some of the items they purchased in this saleroom are coming back across the block now....like old friends, we are happy to see them again. We appreciate our shared history, and their family's trust in Garth's. Garth's team is privileged to represent their collections in this auction. ~Jeff & Amelia Jeffers

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.

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.
