Overall: 31-1/2” x 27-1/2” Provenance: Descended within the family as follows: Elizabeth Arden, New York, to her niece Patricia Graham Young, to Charlie Young, to our consignor. Family history indicates that Elizabeth Arden sat for a first portrait which she did not like. She insisted and had a second sitting which produced the painting we have which she liked as she felt the artist had got the measure of her and she looked much steelier and tougher than in the first sitting. Ms. Arden kept the second sitting example and hung it in her Fifth Avenue apartment. She sent the first sitting portrait to London where it hung in her management offices.

Stoner (1890-1971) was an American architect and artist who lived in San Francisco and worked in the early and mid-20th century and helped define some of the architectural style of the San Francisco area. After working for several architectural firms he settled into the firm of Lang Realty Company as their chief architect in 1921. He worked on many of the housing developments in many of the San Francisco neighborhoods including the Marina, Monterey Heights, Sherwood Forest and many others. Although most of Stoner’s work was involved in residential housing he did work on some commercial projects which became his most acclaimed work. These included the Tamalpais Theatre in San Anselmo, Sally Rand’s Nude Ranch at the Golden Gate International Exposition and Sutro’s Ice Rink. This painting shows an image of Stoner kneeling down and at his feet are architectural blueprints. He is overlooking a large bridge being completed over the San Francisco bay with the city’s skyline beyond. It was during this time when the city was soliciting plans and design concepts for the bridge that was to span the bay. In his vision is a bridge with an Art Deco design.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA LION POMMEL AMERICAN LIGHT HORSE CAVALRY SABER. This is most unusual circa 1780 American made slotted guard sword with well-chased lion pommel, with most unusual grip made from strips of baleen. Norm Flayderman cataloged this sword in 1989, but noted the grip as being spiral carved horn which is not correct. Use of baleen will most likely denotes manufacture in the Northeast near the whaling industry. Sword measures 38-1/4” overall with a 33” single fullered American forged blade. Special Note: This item(s) contains plant or animal properties that may be covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Please read the Conditions of Sale, section 15, for more information regarding the Endangered Species Act, and your responsibilities as a buyer. CONDITION: Very good overall. Blade is overall grey with areas of staining, edge wear. Brass hilt, ferrule and pommel have a medium mustard patina. Baleen grip is sound, though missing an additional flat brass wire wrap. 52260-5 (2,000-3,000) ESA

EXTREMELY RARE REVOLUTIONARY WAR “UNITED STATES” BRANDED CHARLEVILLE MUSKET. This is probably the only authentic and original Revolutionary War “United States” branded Model 1763 Charleville musket to ever come to public auction. On March 31, 1777, George Washington directed the Board of War that all Continental arms be stamped with “United States”. According to George D. Moller in his text American Military Shoulder Arms, Vol. I., 1993, this is the earliest identification mark on Continental muskets. This marking has been highly reproduced and faked over the years, but this example is guaranteed original and unaltered with excellent patina and completeness. Over the years, just a handful of armaments with this marking are known. “The vast majority of arms imported into the United States for the use of the American revolutionary forces were French. Well over 100,000 French muskets are known to have been imported...” SIZE: 59-1/2” overall. CONDITION: Good overall, standard configuration with 44” 69 caliber barrel. Metal dark and brown overall, with pitting. Several crack repairs to stock, including 9” crack which extends from trigger guard to buttplate, through the brand, but markings still very good and discernible. Top jaw screw is an old replacement. Band springs lack locking buttons. 52040-1 (7,000-9,000)

EXTREMELY RARE AND FINE ARCHIVE OF AMERICAN PATRIOT JOHN GLEN, JR. WHICH INCLUDES HIS INSCRIBED REVOLUTIONARY WAR AMERICAN SILVER MOUNTED, FLINTLOCK OFFICER’S FUSIL. The treasure in this archive is, perhaps, the finest known example of an American made fusil of the American Revolutionary War period. The maple stocked fusil has its original commercial flintlock marked “JOVER” and the 38 ½” 65 caliber smooth bore barrel has Birmingham proofs. All of the mountings are non-hallmarked silver with relief Rococo design and fine chiseled martial engraving. The ornate thumbplate has Glen’s initials in the 18th century style where “I’s” and “J’s” are interchangeable, “JGJr”. The sole of the buttplate is engraved in large block letters “JOHN GLEN Jr”. There is fine relief carving at the barrel tang. The overall architecture of the gun is superb. This fusil presents beautifully and was made for a man of means. It represents the finest achievement in mid 18th century American gun making. Col. John Glen Jr (1735-1828) was Quarter Master of the Continental Army of the Northern Department and was a close associate of George Washington, who on occasion stayed at the Glen Plantation in New York. Glen had prior service in the French and Indian Wars in various New York units from 1755. Archive also includes two documents: one bureaucratic signed by John Glen Sr October 21, 1745 and the second is a fine archivally framed document dated 1758, appointing John Glen Jnr as 2nd Lieutenant of the 3rd Company of Militia of Schenectady, signed by James Delancy, the British LieutenantGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Province of New York. The chair, which is a typical New England mid-18th century splat back chair, was in the Glen home when Commander-in-Chief George Washington visited and stayed there in 1775 during the Revolutionary War and at other times according to provided research. General Washington could very well have sat in this chair and could have handled this wonderful fusil that no doubt was a prized possession. After the Revolutionary War, the area around the Glen home was renamed “Glen’s Falls, NY’ a name by which it is known today. The area was originally named Wing’s Falls, but Abraham

Wing was not the ardent patriot as John Glen and John Glen was a patriot! There is a large file of research concerning the naming of “Glen’s Falls” and also information concerning George Washington’s visits to Col. Glen’s house and provenance on this archive. PROVENANCE: Montreal auction (1970s) of Glen Family items, descended in John Glen’s Jr’s oldest son’s family who were Torries and relocated to Canada prior to the War of 1812. Ex-collection Mark Berube, 2000; Alan Para collection, 2009. CONDITION: Fusil is very good to fine overall. Metal surfaces are dark grey/brown with light pitting. The wood has a rich, mellow, hand-worn patina. The silver mounts have a soft grey patina with minor losses from over 250 years. In the accompanying 2013 appraisal document by well known American Revolutionary War, Kentucky rifle expert and collector Stephen Hench of Lancaster, PA he states: “To the best of my knowledge, there is no finer, documented silver mounted American officer’s fusil from the Revolutionary war than this surviving example of John Glen Jr’s”. Framed commission is very good, complete with seal and stamp. Contemporary 2009 carved powder horn made for display purposes is in fine condition made in the style of 1759 when Glen was in the militia during the French and Indian Wars. Chair- old multiple coats of paint removed. Proper left side of splat absent. Seat remains mostly intact with normal and expected wear. 51936-1 (30,000-50,000)

EXTREMELY RARE NEW HAMPSHIRE 1st BATTALION MARKED REVOLUTIONARY WAR CHARLEVILLE MUSKET. This is a fine example of a very rare Revolutionary War musket that are well chronicled in the literature. This Model 1768 musket with 44” 69 caliber barrel was shipped on the French vessel “Mercure” in the spring of 1777. Each battalion of New Hampshire muskets were marked on the barrels with the letters “NH” joined at the intersecting leg followed by either “1B”, “2B”, or “3B” and then a sequential number from 1-672. These guns were stamped by silversmith John Ward Gilman of Exeter, NH. A receipt dated May 6, 1777 shows that he stamped a total of 2,016 muskets or 672 muskets per battalion. Of these 2016 muskets, a total of 47 are known today according to research by Michael R. Carroll in a 2009 article. This gun is properly marked on breech “NH 1B No.497”. The 1st New Hampshire was incorporated into George Washington’s Continental Army as the 5th Continental Regiment. This unit took part in most of the major battles of the Revolutionary Army, including Bunker Hill (prior to issue), Siege of Boston, Defense of Canada, Lake Champlain, Trenton, Princeton, Valley Forge, Saratoga, Monmouth, Iroquois Expedition of 1779 and Yorktown. This is among the rarest identified Revolutionary War longarm you will find SIZE: 59-1/2” overall. CONDITION: Good overall. Stock is sound. Metal is brown/grey overall with pitting. Regimental markings are all discernible. French proof mark “R” is also seen under battalion markings. Lock markings discernible. Ramrod is replacement. 52040-2 (8,000-12,000)

EXTREMELY RARE “WAYNE’S LEGION” REGULATION U.S. ARMY 1792-1796 SHOULDER BELT PLATE. This is the first regulation American officer’s accoutrement plate authorized by government regulation. Die-struck of heavy brass with gold plate with American “frog-legged eagle” great seal above “USA”. The first known reference appears in the General Orders published June 26, 1795 “Oval breastplate on white shoulder belt, 3” x 2-1/2”, ornamented with an eagle in gold or silver to match the buttons”. Major General “Mad” Anthony Wayne was the original commander of the Legion of the United States and this buckle has always been nicknamed in his honor. General Wayne accepted the surrender of all British forts in 1796 which were located illegally in the United States Lot 2005 (w/reverse) in violation of the Treaty of Paris which ended the Revolutionary War in 1783. The Legion was formed in June 1792. Recruited and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, the Legion was involved in protecting the American frontier, including the Siege of Ft. Jefferson, Siege of Ft. Recovery and the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The Legion built fortifications throughout the frontier, including Ft. Wayne which today retains it’s name honoring the Legion’s first General. Lewis and Clark were both members of the Legion and would likely have had same plates during their expedition mapping the Louisiana Purchase. An example of this plate was part of traveling bicentennial Lewis and Clark exhibit seen nationwide. PROVENANCE: The last example sold in major auction was from William Guthman Collection sale at Sotheby’s 12/1/2005 for $30,000. CONDITION: Very good overall, retaining most of its original plate, numerous small scratches, bend at top edge and other cosmetic blemishes. All in all, this is a beautiful example of a rare and popular American accoutrement plate. 52331-5 (15,000-20,000)

SPECTACULAR & UNIQUE NANTUCKET PRESENTATION SWORD TO MEXICAN WAR HERO MAJOR MOSES BARNARD FOR “PLANTING THE 1ST AMERICAN FLAG ON PARAPET AT STORMING OF CHAPULTEPEC”, SEPTEMBER 13, 1847. “The course of history plays out with little regard for the lives of men. Fate or ability can propel individuals to the forefront of fame and accomplishment, but rarely do the man and his deed become merged to create an image that is an icon for the ages. The raising of the flag on Iwo Jima is such an image - symbolic of the struggle and victory in the Pacific during WWII. In the same way, the plating of the American flag on the battlement of Chapultepec became symbolic of the U.S. victory in the Mexican War in 1847. The image of a brave officer leading his troops to victory was used as a frontispiece in U.S. histories, paintings, prints and even wallpaper. The Mexican War has faded into the past, as has the memory of the man who first planted the flag on the parapet during the Storming of Chapultepec and became the symbol for the entire war. Moses J. Barnard was born in 1819, the eleventh child of Cromwell and Sarah Barnard on the island of Nantucket, Mass. His grandmothers were from the famous Coffin and Joy island families. It is likely he was raised among Quakers and whaling captains. Little is known of his early life, but he joined the U.S. “Voltigeurs” in Pennsylvania on February 16, 1847, as a Captain.” This is most likely the only historic sword presented by the overwhelmingly pacifist Quaker population of Nantucket Island. Sword is an exquisite piece of workmanship retaining most of its original gold plate and brilliant blue and gold decorated blade. The presentation engraved on either side of scabbard reads: “A TESTIMONIAL, / FROM THE CITIZENS OF NANTUCKET, MASS. / OCT. 18, 1848” and “TO BREVET MAJOR MOSES BARNARD / OF THE REGIMENT OF VOLTIGEURS: / DISTINGUISHED FOR HIS GALLANTRY IN MEXICO / AND FOR PLANTING THE FIRST AMERICAN FLAG, THE COLORS OF HIS REGIMENT / ON THE PARAPET AT THE STORMING OF CHAPULTEPEC, / SEPT. 13, 1847” The large file of provenance and history accompanying this sword tells of the short-lived history (1847-1848) of the American Voltigeur Regiment who were elite skirmishers. Copies of the numerous images made of Captain Barnard planting the flag at the pivotal battle of the Mexican War can be viewed in the provenance link on our website. Captain Barnard was indeed a national hero known all over America at this time. The Castle of Chapultepec sits atop a 200ft hill defending the approach to Mexico City.

The storming of Chapultepec consisted of hand-picked troops including the Voltigeurs and a detachment of Marines. The Marines participation was immortalized in the Marine Corps Hymn which refers to Chapultepec as “The Halls of Montezuma”. Storming of Chapultepec was a heroic, glorious, bloody battle with ladders toppled and thrown up again until the American forces reached the parapet, and in hand-to-hand combat drove the Mexicans back. By 9:30, after two hours of fighting, the flag of the Voltigeurs flew above the east wall. During the attack, the color bearer was killed and Captain Barnard seized the flag, scaled the parapet and brandished the colors under terrible fire, receiving two wounds. It is this moment of courage that became an iconic symbol. Bernard was personalize cited by General Winfield Scott as “the first to plant a regimental color” and brevetted a major for “Gallantry and Meritorious Conduct at the Battle of Chapultepec”. The American troops moved on to Mexico City, which surrendered the next day. Bernard stayed in Mexico City with occupation forces until August 31, 1848 and returned home. In his absence, his friends and neighbors on Nantucket learned of his exploits and were determined to recognize his bravery. On October 21, 1848, this notice appeared in the Nantucket papers, The Inquirer and The Weekly Mirror: SWORD PRESENTATION. An interesting ceremony, without precedence on this island, took place at the Athenaeum on Wednesday evening last. The close of the course of lectures delivered at the Athenaeum by Major M. J. BARNARD, late of the Voltigeurs, upon Mexico and the incidents of the late war, was selected by several of his friends as a proper time to present him a fitting token of their personal esteem and warm appreciation of the bravery displayed by him at Chapultepec and elsewhere. An elegant SWORD was deemed the most appropriate gift to be presented to the gallant soldier. SIZE: 36-1/2” overall. PROVENANCE: Purchased directly from family of Barnard’s friends and descendants and in Simon Handleson’s collection ever since. Special Note: This item(s) contains plant or animal properties that may be covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Please read the Conditions of Sale, section 15, for more information regarding the Endangered Species Act, and your responsibilities as a buyer. CONDITION: 30” blade is overall bright, retaining 95% plus original gold and blue decoration, including panoply of arms. Scabbard, hilt and pommel retain most of their original gilting. Scabbard has finely chased decoration on either of side of ring mounts & drag, and a similar pattern between presentation and drag. A large American eagle with shield and rays is also engraved between ring mounts. The carved, polished bone grip has light patina. Scabbard has several small dents and scratches, and some staining around ring mounts as seen in photographs. All in all this sword shows very little wear and appears to have been well preserved since its presentation, still stored in its original chamois sleeve. 52331-1 (35,000-45,000) ESA 275

LIFE LONG COLLECTION AND PROBABLY LARGEST GROUP KNOWN OF 18th & 19th CENTURY FLINTLOCK GUN POWDER TESTERS WITH PROVENANCE. Most every type of powder tester seen is represented here. Many are actual examples pictured in the definitive text: Eprouettes, a Comprehensive Study of Early Devices for the Testing of Gunpowder, RTW Kempers, published by Royal Armouries, 1998. Kempers notes several examples in collection are unique or no other examples outside certain museum collections. Testers are also shown in the article “Powder Testers The Combinations” By Paul J. Wolf. Copies of the book and article accompanies the lot. Many were used by armories and are very well made. Very few are marked other than having numeric Lot 2014 ranges for the gun powder testing. There are all-iron examples, some with touch-holes for fire and others with complete flintlock mechanisms, three large spring loaded types have French makers or inspector marks. Some are crafted by gunsmiths or blacksmiths. Several are made in the style of single shot pistols which are the most often seen. There are also five made totally of brass of which one is dated 1852 and very heavily cast. Another of the all brass ones has a short cannon barrel with touch-hole and the pointer that reads the gauge is in the shape of a birds beak. There is a solid brass example which is maker marked by Henry Nock, London. Detailed pictures of every example will be on-line. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy the best collection of handheld powder testers that we know of ever assembled. PROVENANCE: The Estate of Morris Racker. CONDITION: Overall very good. No restoration noted, though a few examples may be old facsimiles as these were very popular as novelties and curiosa collected in the early-20th century. All in all, this is a fine representative grouping that most appear original. 51956-57 (8,000-10,000)

FINE CIVIL WAR CDV ALBUM. This bound album contains 41 Civil War CDVs of which all but three are soldiers. There is one beautiful young woman pictured who is possibly the owner of the album. The album is inscribed “Lilian Bates Hawley” in front. Most of the cards are of officers and general officers, including a fine image of a full standing General David Birney wearing his sword. Birney was a brigade commander in Philip Kearny’s division. When Kearny was killed, Birney took over command of his division. Based on several photos of officers wearing Kearny Crosses, it is possible that this album may be associated with units in that division. Quick research of some of the named soldiers show six surgeons: Walter B. Morrison, 3rd Michigan Infantry; John Howe, 1st New York Infantry; H. F. L. Lyster, 5th Michigan Infantry; Edwin Miles, 5th Michigan Infantry; John Robinson, 38th New York Infantry. One other surgeon identified is Edward Donnelly who was in four different regiments and was wounded in action at Mechanicsville, confined at Libby Prison, was captured at 2nd Battle of Bull Run and at the Battle of the Wilderness and was allowed to operate on wounded Union soldiers. Donnelly had an interesting history; being an Irish immigrant who arrived in Philadelphia after his father, who was an officer in the British East India Company, was killed in Bengal. Donnelly was a renowned doctor prior to the war and offered his services as soon as the war began. Donnelly was among the first surgeons to prepare pathology slides from his Civil War patients. I’m sure there are other interesting stories to be told among these cards which appear to be overall fine original condition. CONDITION: Album is good overall, though pages are shaken and several are loose. Full leather binding, shows scuffing, but retains gilt decoration and functional brass clasps. CDVs examined are overall very good and are by numerous photographers. A few examined have rounded top corners and minor cosmetic defects. 52222-2 (3,000-5,000)

OUTSTANDING MAINE HISTORICAL LOT INCLUDING PRESENTATION SWORD AND MEMORABILIA TO CAPTAIN JAMES LIBBY OF THE FIRST MAINE SHARPSHOOTERS, A SURVIVOR OF THE GETTYSBURG BATTLE. NSN. This group consists of two Civil War officer swords and a post-war photograph and copies of letters Libby wrote home from the war. First sword is a beautiful US staff and field officers sword with an eagle head quillon and a high grade spiral fluted metal grip. The sword has an inscription which reads, “presented to Lieut. J. W. Captain James Libby Libby by Co. E, First ME SS December 5, 1864”. The other sword is an imported non regulation iron hilted officers sword. Both swords as other articles originally came from the descendants of Captain Libby. There is a sketch of James Libby’s life written by his grandson E. Carl Libby which tells of his birth in 1840 in Leeds, Maine, his life on the farm, his schooling in one room schoolhouse and his later education at Monmouth Academy. When the war began in 1861 James Libby was entering his final year at Monmouth Academy. On August 6, 1861 James Libby left school and enlisted as a private in Company K, 7th Regiment Maine Volunteers. Several family letters tell of his life in the 7th. At the battle of Antietam over half of the 7th Maine men engaged where killed, wounded or missing. The unit was so reduced in numbers it was sent home in October of 1862 to recoup. Company K of which Libby was a part rejoined the war in January 1863 and were engaged at the Battle of Fredricksburg May 3, 1863 with a loss of 12 killed, 49 wounded and 39 missing. 7th Maine had heavy causality almost everywhere they fought. At Gettysburg the 7th Maine and Libby had position on Wolf Hill where the 7th Maine monument stands between two rock walls today. Only two men of the 7th Maine died from wounds from the battle of Gettysburg and are buried at the National Cemetery at Gettysburg along with 138 other men from Maine regiments. A patriotic letter to his sister written by Libby on August 16, just over a month after Gettysburg when he and the 7th were camped in Warrenton Springs, VA states, “Our country must be saved and now is the time to do it...” James Libby would serve his three years, be discharged and reenlist as a Veteran Volunteer. He would become a second lieutenant in November 1864 in the 1st Maine Sharp Shooters and then be promoted to Captain in Company K in the 14th Maine infantry in his last command. There is an interesting archive of research by Libby’s grandson that accompanies this lot including the listing of family members who own the copied letters and a copy of a signed CDV of Lieutenant Libby wearing the wonderful presentation sword that is the centerpiece of this lot. CONDITION: Staff and field officers sword is fine overall with 32” blade with 16” etched patriotic panels on both sides retaining 90%+ orig frosted details.

He worked as a Deputy Sheriff in Sacramento (1857-1863). He became a family man when he married Phoebe Sylvester in 1855; they became the parents of two sons, George and Charles. When the Civil War began, he was appointed Paymaster in the United States Army in 1863 with a Major’s commission. He mustered out upon the close of the war in June of 1865.

RARE IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE SLOUCH HAT OF BRISCOE B. RANSON, COMPANY B 12th VIRGINIA CAV, ROSSER’S BRIGADE, WADE HAMPTON’S CORPS, JEB STUART’S CAVALRY CSA WITH SABER SLASH MARK AND BLOOD STAINING FROM WOUND AT BRANDY STATION. This is an iconic and well known identified Confederate slouch with a long collection history. Mildred Remsburg was an early collector of Civil War memorabilia and had a small museum in Sharpsburg, MD behind her general line antique shop. Hat was displayed with top of a 19th century “mustard plaster” box on which is written: “Hat - B. B. Ranson Co. B, 12th Va. Cav. Rosser’s Brigade ( J.E.B. Stuart’s cavalry) Hampton’s Corps C.S.A. - was wearing when he was sabered June 9th 1863, in Battle of Brandy Station”. Hat is classic imported slouch hat with a indiscernible makers mark which is now only seen with black light (see photo). Slouch hats were among the most popular of headgear during the Civil War. These hats which could be easily folded and carried, saw continued use after the war and few identified ones are known, especially Confederate. Amazingly, slouch hat shows a long 2” saber slash where Ranson was wounded June 9th, 1863 at the Battle of Brandy Station. Blood is evident with UV light where pooled in sweatband beneath saber mark. Ranson was captured following his wounding, but was exchanged 3 weeks later where he rejoined his unit and was finally paroled April 21, 1865. Pvt. Briscoe B. “Buck” Ranson (1844-1934) served with both the 12th Virginia Cavalry and 43rd Virginia Cavalry. When Briscoe entered service he was in school. After the war, he returned to school as a student in the medical department at the University of Virginia and later at the University of Maryland where he graduated with a degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1869. He practiced medicine at Harper’s Ferry for 30 years. He is buried in Charlestown, Jefferson Country, West Virginia. Hat is accompanied by file of collection history with old receipts, along with Ranson’s war record. PROVENANCE: Remsburg Museum, Sharpsburg, MD; George Gorman, about 1970; Bill Turner Collection; John Graham Collection, Alexandria, VA; Michael Cunningham Collection 1980; Jim Frasca Collection; Josh Landish Collection, Las Vegas, NV, 1992; The Estate of Morris Racker. CONDITION: Hat is sound and stable. Sweatband has been re-sewn in areas and original silk lining is detached but in place. Blood staining is quite evident with UV light, as is the maker’s mark which is almost invisible with regular light. There are several holes and reductions as typically seen on this pattern from the frequent folding when used. Hat band is complete as is the original brown sewn edging. Hat is soiled overall. The original sign used in museum with penciled inscription is soiled but otherwise solid and all text is discernible. 5195656 (6,000-8,000)

2044. VERY RARE E H COLLIER REVOLVING PISTOL CARBINE. 26”, 36” overall 50 caliber smooth bore barrel. Marked on lock “E.H. COLLIER PATENT NO. 6”. Gun is missing hammer. Elisha Collier was from Boston, Massachusetts, but had his guns made in England in the 1820’s. No more than a total of 150 were thought to be made. This gun has rare 7-shot cylinder. Collier may lay claim to being the first revolving rifle produced that was sold substantial quantities. Collier’s were originally made in flint, but conversions to percussion are known. Complete Collier revolving arms are quite rare and desirable and some fine examples have brought $20,000-$50,000 in recent years. This is not the best example, but it is fairly complete and a good gunsmith could turn it into something quite interesting if desired and you won’t find another at this estimate. CONDITION: Good overall. Stock is solid with much wear to checkering. Metal overall is brown with staining and pitting. Lock markings are discernible. Small silver thumbplate is intact. Detachable stock is missing. 52222-13 (800-1,200)

You’ll never have to worry about running out of flints for your lighters as there is an additional bag of 20 or so extra flints. 51956-61 (2,000-3,000)

Gun has numerous silver inlays including lock escutcheon made in shape of an eagle. Five small ivory insets are also found. Gun is checkered at the wrist and has relief carving on buttstock and behind tang. Bill Ivey in his exemplary text North Carolina School of Long Rifles 1765-1865 on page 68 attributes a gun to Craft Jackson which has a most unusual and unique side-hinged patchbox lid also seen here. This gun is much more ornate then the attributed gun, and this one is signed in a cartouche at breech “C.J” and a silver plaque on barrel has most unusual inscription “Lined Stub & Twisted / JACKSON”. Cataloger has no idea what this inscription means, regardless this is a very interesting gun that was originally longer and probably full stock but now shortened (stubbed as plaque suggests?). Special Note: This item(s) contains plant or animal properties that may be covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Please read the Conditions of Sale, section 15, for more information regarding the Endangered Species Act, and your responsibilities as a buyer.

The 5-1/2” x 4” Geronimo card is albumin mounted on black board with soiling and staining. Small fold in bottom right hand corner of albumin and mounting board is chipped with rounded corners. Indian War cards are average overall with some scratching, soiling and damage to cards. The three US 7th Cavalry officers appear to be photographs of photographs, all on heavier cardstock, mounted to period cards, and do not appear original to era. Glass plate negatives of the White House and Teddy Roosevelt are mostly quite fine. The view of Roosevelt is quite unusual, showing him sitting at his desk with scattered paper trash about his desk; his walls have seven framed prints, apparently of American naval battle scenes. His desk has panoply of arms carved along with relief carved gunboat on the visible edge. Large gelatin image of Illinois National Guard has several large cracks including upper right hand corner being broken off and repaired, scuffed and rounded corners. It shouldn’t be hard to identify seated Colonel wearing Medal of Honor and Army of the Potomac medals. 52429-2 (2,0003,000)

I’m in a cell 23 hours a day with a guard sitting outside my cell watching me through a glass panel - 3 8 Lot 2063 hour shifts, 24 hours a day and a camera is mounted on the ceiling monitor all the time.

EXTREMELY RARE UNINSCRIBED SILVER CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL FOR THE SURVIVORS OF THE “JEANNETTE” ARCTIC EXPEDITION OF 1879-1882. The round medal in silver has a depiction of the 3-mast ship with sails rolled and anchored to ice having a group of men, dogs and dog sleds beside, depicting the abandonment of the ship and the saving of some of its supplies. The reverse having an outer band of writing “Jeannette Arctic Expedition 18791882”, below this a blank area for the engraving of the survivors name that the medal would be Reverse given to. The bottom half “In Commemoration of Perils Encountered and as an Expression of the High Esteem in which Congress Holds His Services” “Act Approved Sept. 30. 1890.” The round medal having an attached small ring which is connected to an ivory colored silk ribbon attached to a pin with a spread wing eagle over a name plate “Jeannette”. NOTE: This medal was produced for either the survivors or the next of kin of those who had perished in the expedition. Eight gold and 25 silver medals were struck by the Philadelphia Mint and was designed by Asst Engineer M.A. Anderson. Records of the Philadelphia Mint indicate that there were three dies cast in 1892. According to the October 15, 1892, Army and Navy Journal 24 of the silver medals were engraved with names of the survivors or the deceased members of the expedition. This indicates that there was one medal that was unengraved and this medal that is being offered maybe that medal. The first gold medal was given to Engineer-in-chief Melville the only surviving officer of that expedition. Another of the gold medals having been given to the widow of Lt. DeLong. The story of the expedition was recounted in an 1882 book “Arctic Lost Ship Shipwreck Jeannette”. The account of the expedition and its survivors caught the attention of the American public and caused Congress to act with this medal. The crew consisted of 30 officers and men, and three civilians. It departed from San Francisco July 8, 1879. Shortly after September 4, it was caught fast in the ice pack near Wrangel Island. For the next 21 months, it drifted to the Northwest towards the North Pole, steadfast in the ice. On June 12, 1881 the pressure of the ice finally began to crush the Jeannette. It was at that time that provisions were unloaded and the ship sank the following morning. Three boats took off in hope of reaching the mainland. A storm blew up and one of the boats with eight men capsized and sank. The remaining two boats with 25 men continued on. George Melville’s boat with 11 men aboard reached safety; the other landed elsewhere and two men survived and met up with the Melville group. Our consignor has spent many hours researching this medal and refining the known history of the design, making, and dissemination of the medal. An alternate conclusion for the existence of this medal being offered is that it is a sample medal given to the Navy Department on June 17th. This would explain why there is no engraved name. This would mean that this is the first cast medal from the dies. In conclusion we do not believe that either possibility negates the rarity of this medal and its desirability amongst collectors. SIZE: Round medal: 1-1/2” dia. With ribbon: 3-1/2” l. CONDITION: Hardware in very good condition, ribbon in very good condition with only some slight soiling. 51917-1 (10,000-20,000) “The Sinking of the Jeannette” Engraving by George T. Andrew after a design by M.J. Burns, copied from “The Voyage of the Jeannette ...”, Volume II, page 575, edited by Emma DeLong, published in 1884.

The contents were originally from the palatial estate home of Miss Lousie Alida Livingson, on Remsen’s Lane in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. Appraisals dated 1965, 1967, and 1981 attest to the movement of most of these items.

RARE, POSSIBLY UNIQUE, COPPER TOBACCO LEAF WEATHERVANE AND MOUNTING. This is truly outstanding and the only tobacco leaf weathervane we have ever seen. Obviously it must have originated from the South, possibly from an old plantation. The mounting components display stylized tobacco elements featuring tobacco buds, all of which is rendered in iron and copper. Mounting components have remnants of old gold painted surface. The tobacco leaf, itself, is made of copper with green verdigris. Was supposedly originally found in Virginia. A truly unique, large, and impressive weathervane. SIZE: Overall 109” h, leaf 48” l x 14” w. CONDITION: Generally very good. Leaf shows some re-soldering and one bud shows soldered repair. 52380-10 (10,000-20,000)
RARE EARLY OLD TOWN CANOE COMPANY DISPLAY SAMPLE, CIRCA 1912-1915. Limited number of Old Town Canoe samples were ever made and only a very small number of them were this earlier version. A similar example from this same time period was donated to the Smithsonian Institute by the Old Town Canoe Co. This is the earliest salesman model sample and they can be identified by the wording on the side which states; “Genuine Old Town Canoe Co. Canoes”. Later, by the 1920’s, the wording on the sides of the salesman sample canoes read, “Old Town Canoes”. Even later than that, the later samples stated simply, “Old Town” and is printed in script form. This example is generally believed to have been produced between 1912 and 1915. The open gunnel construction on this canoe is the style which began to appear in 1908 so it certainly is not any earlier than that. The canoe had originally been distributed to the Ray Ellis Bicycle Company in Wichita, Kansas. This sample canoe is accompanied by two appropriate period canoe paddles which are probably also Old Town. SIZE: 48” long. CONDITION: This is an exceedingly rare model. The lettering on one side “Old Town Canoe Company” is strong and bright, the other side is faded; (obviously it had been hanging in a store window for some time). Nearly all of the paint is original, the signage on the side of the canoe are original. The oval decals on the end, we are told, were replaced at some time. We were told that some restoration had been down to the thwat and seats although if it was, it was done in an expert manner as it is undetectable. A very rare canoe and in even rarer to find condition. 52384-1 (17,50022,500)

RARE E.M. WHITE CANOE COMPANY SAMPLE CANOE. This canoe dates to around the 1920’s and is a 52” model. Edwin White of Maine was one of America’s earliest builders of wooden canoes. He was also an early builder of wooden boats and began making his canoes in the late 1880’s. This is obviously a White Canoe and exhibits the deck cut-out in the exact shape that Edwin White used. He was in direct competition with the famous Old Town Canoe Company in Old Town, Maine, who eventually bought the White Company out in the 20th century. According to scholars, there are only a couple documented White Canoe samples known so this is exceedingly rare. This canoe is fitted with two appropriate paddles of the period which may be Old Town paddles? One looks to be Birdseye Maple. SIZE: 52” l. CONDITION: With the exception of some scattered paint flecking, the canoe is in outstanding condition and most certainly a beautiful and rare example. 52384-2 (7,000-9,500)

FINE AMERICAN CARVED OAK TALL CASE CLOCK WITH MARKED TIFFANY & CO. DIAL. American carved oak tall case clock (1886-1909). Carved case by Tobey Furniture Co. of Chicago. 1) The brass and silvered dial marked “Tiffany & Co” beneath the chapter ring. The brass eight day movement, time and strike, striking on a coil driven by two weights. A moon phase dial in the arch. We believe that the movement may very well be an unmarked example manufactured by J.J. Elliot Co. Ltd. of London. 2) Many cases of this style and model were fitted with Elliot movements including the last example that we offered and sold in our Fine Art and Antiques Auction of February 2014, Lot 3091. The quarter sawn oak case is extensively carved, the bonnet having grotesque mask within the carved crest, a three dimensional bagpiper and horn player flanking bonnet door. The bonnet joined to case throat carved with lion heads within a foliate border above the molded panel door carved with C-scrolled volutes above a grotesque mask over trailing bellflower and foliate carved leaftips. The door flanked by engaged tapering square columns or pilasters carved with fan and shell cartouches on molded carved bases. The throat joined to box base with concave molding. The lower panel carved in high relief depicting a tavern scene with three figures gambling at a table flanked by conforming pilasters headed by carved lions heads. The whole on a floral dentil molded carved plinth raised on compressed ring-turned ball feet. 1) Similar case models were being offered by Tobey Furniture Co. in 1900. 2) JJ Elliot was a clock craftsman of the late 19th century. He was a great innovator, interested in creating high quality clocks that were interesting to listen to. In 1865 JJ Elliott began his clock making apprenticeship with “Bateman” of Smithfield, London. By 1882, Elliott was established as a “manufacturer of fine quality clocks”. In 1909 Elliot merged with Grimshaw Baxter. “Tobey Furniture Co. of Chicago” was founded in 1856 and was a leader in the marketplace for handmade carved furniture. In 1905 “Toby Furniture Co. of Chicago” opened a showroom in New York on West 32nd street, near 5th Avenue. This offered “Tobey Handmade Furniture” a market on the east coast. Having this new location probably is responsible for the collaboration between Tobey Furniture Co. and Tiffany & Co. A nearly identical clock reproduced from the Toby Catalog and referred to as a “Flemish” clock is illustrated in Duy Ly, Longcase Clocks and Standing Regulators, Part 1, Machine Made Clocks p. 422, fig. 979. SIZE: 8’ h x 26-1/2” w x 16-1/2” d. PROVENANCE: From a central Connecticut collection. CONDITION: Superior original condition. Original dark finish. Very fine old patina. Movement clean and operable. Some paint loss to moon phase dial. A glue repair to element of horn of bagpiper. Otherwise very good. 52011-1 (6,000-8,000)

Considering Selling? Whether you have one important item to sell or an entire collection, there are a number of reasons why you should contact James D. Julia’s:
Reputation for Honesty & Fair Dealings Over the years we have established a sterling reputation with both buyers and sellers. For the seller, this means their goods will be properly and professionally handled with hassle free straight forward dealings. The buyer has also learned to trust the Julia reputation for honest descriptions. This means they can place their ultimate bid with confidence that the goods will be as represented.
North America. The use of special press releases provided to key publications throughout North America also maximizes exposure. Advance notices and the complete catalog with photos are loaded onto our website available to the world. We have a special arrangement with Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only) so our catalogs are also loaded on their websites. This allows all Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only) clients to bid on the items in our auction whether as an absentee bid or in live-time the day of the auction via their computer. We also represent our clients’ goods at various key antique shows throughout the country, and in addition have an aggressive telemarketing program to promote your goods. We spend a tremendous amount of money and energy making certain that your goods have the maximum exposure to potential buyers.
Record Prices
Expertise Our expertise as auctioneers is unrivaled and extends over a period of nearly thirty-five years. In addition, each Julia specialty auction is cataloged by a nationally renowned expert within that field. In order to be part of the Julia team, these experts have to enjoy a similar reputation for honesty and fair dealings and be fully k nowledgeable in their specific field. Our specialists have 15-35 years of experience in their chosen fields. This not only instills confidence in the seller, but even more importantly instills confidence in our buyers, many of whom don’t attend the auctions but utilize our catalogs freely knowing that they can trust our catalog descriptions.
The Julia Auction Firm has established records in numerous specialty fields over the years. In some cases, both national and world record prices are set at our auctions. In short, our experience, sterling reputation, hard work, and aggressive marketing plans add up to the ultimate return to you, the seller. We have one of the most competitive commission rates in the country. If you have an individual expensive item or high quality items you will find that no one will beat our commission rates.
Promotional Package
Innovative Programs
We utilize a highly diversified and structured promotional campaign for each auction. This includes, but is not limited to, professionally prepared, fully detailed and illustrated catalogs, and a tremendous diversity of advertisements in various types of media all over North America. A highly detailed and fully illustrated promotional brochure is sent out to our mailing list. Our mailing list includes numerous specialty departments including a vast number of names of special collectors and dealers all over
We are always striving to serve our customers better, both buyers and sellers. Some current innovations include our Trade Up Program. This is a new program at Julia’s which essentially allows the collector to obtain new and exciting items for their collection and at the same time dispose of unwanted items from their collection. The net result can be no cash outlay on the collector’s behalf to obtain items he/she desires to add to their collection. To our knowledge we are the only auction firm in North 605
America providing this p rogram. The concept or possibilities are virtually limitless. Parties wishing to explore this should call our office for more details. Arrangements to p articipate in this program must be made prior to the actual purchase at auction. Web Presence: We utilize our website to load advance notices of our clients’ goods to be included in upcoming auctions. In addition, we load our entire auction catalog, complete with photos, on our website so that the world can preview the catalog free of charge. We also have an arrangement with Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only). The end result is that usually our entire catalog with photos is loaded onto these platforms two weeks prior to the auction where any customer in the world can submit a bid. The day of the auction our entire catalog is offered on these platforms. The innovative technology allows a person to sit at their computer regardless of where they are in the world and view the progression of the auction. If they have registered in advance they can bid on anything in the catalog the moment it is being offered at auction. This has proven to be a convenience for some of our absentee bidders and it also increases the exposure for our sellers. Our online auctions are a very successful method of marketing certain types of goods. It greatly benefits buyers and sellers alike. However, our live catalogs are still the best way to auction better quality and more desirable items, particularly the rare and choice items.

Estates & Collections Department What will happen to your collection? Plan ahead with our unique “Plan in Place” The numerous benefits derived from collecting do come with an important responsibility–the eventual dispersal of our collection. The James D. Julia “Plan in Place” addresses exactly this responsibility–the planned dispersal of our collections. Unfortunately, many passionate collectors never make plans for the dispersal of their collection. They simply don’t want to think about it. This, however, is not a smart, practical or considerate approach. We all know that someday we will die and most smart and considerate mates prepare wills and/or trusts to deal with their personal assets after they are gone. (If you haven’t yet, it is very important that you do.) It is not often that a collector has a documented, well-laid-out plan for the disposition of their collection after they are gone or become unable to handle their own affairs. The lack of a “Plan in Place” can prove to be a great burden and hardship for our survivors in their time of greatest stress and loss. A collector, as they say, might “roll over in his/her grave” if he/ she knew what stress, confusion, or significant financial loss the dispersal of their collection generated due to the absence of a well laid-out plan.
Julia’s is renowned for their expertise and appraisal services. They regularly provide appraisals for insurance, estate and auction purposes. Here, President Jim Julia discusses the value and significance of some outstanding sporting guns with longtime Firearms Consultant J.R. LaRue.

The James D. Julia, Inc. Stimulus Plan The auction process is a powerful marketing device. A quality selection of goods with realistic estimates will assure a cadre of buyers and sometimes the results can be exciting. Auctions still represent the very best way to turn a quality collection, an entire estate or a large inventory into a respectable sum of cash with minimal effort on the owner’s behalf. Now is a great time to consider selling at auctions. “Cash is King.” For the first time in many years, there are extraordinary buying and investment opportunities so it makes great sense to consider consigning to our upcoming auctions. But there is also another reason to consider…
1.
seller’s commission. That’s right, only 0% c ommission on expensive items. Also very competitive rates on less expensive items. Julia’s has a lways tendered some of the best terms in the industry and this is, in part, just one of the many reasons why we are one of the leading auction houses in North America.
Successes
Colt Walker A Co. 210 Sold for $920,000 (est. $500,000-1,000,000)
World record for the most expensive single firearm sold at auction in history, at the time
2.
Cash advances. On important collections or consignments.
3.
Finder’s fees. We pay significant fees for leads on large and important collections (one agent received a check for $165,000 for his lead on a single collection). As Abraham Lincoln is credited with once s aying, “…knowledge is your stock in trade.” If you know about a collection that could possibly be coming to market, call us immediately. How could you ever make a significant amount of money in an easier way?
4.
Free pick up on large collections and large consignments, anywhere.
5. The finest marketing and promotion plan in the business. Our promotion and marketing efforts are the most aggressive in the business. Our catalogs are the finest within the industry. We work for you and we do everything we can to maximize your return. 6.
7.
We are auctioneers only, not dealer/auctioneers. Our time, energy, money and efforts are all expended on you. We do not c ompete with our buyers’ buying or with our sellers’ selling. We work for you only! Financial security. James D. Julia’s is solid as a rock: in the business for over 40 years with our last 5 being the most successful in our history. Banking references available from our banker of many, many years.

Conditions of Sale - Please Read
Fine Art, Asian & Antiques Division Please be sure to read the conditions before participating in the sale. For years, we have worked hard to develop a reputation for honesty and fairness. We have tried to apply this same principle in preparing this particular sale. So that you might know what the limitations are for this sale, we have tried to clearly outline the conditions below, which will specifically indicate how various circumstances will be handled.
1. Guarantee We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. The catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee. Please be sure that you know that. It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity. It also covers any major restoration or repair not described. Also we guarantee against fakes, reproductions or major fabrications. As outlined above, our guarantee is limited, however, it is almost unique in a business that operates “Caveat Emptor”. This is not a perfect system, however, and it is important to be aware of that. Our intention is to be as fair as possible in our catalog descriptions but it is virtually impossible to adequately describe an antique or collectible item that has been used and shows signs of wear. Imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections that are inherent with the manufacturing of the objects are the types of things that we absolutely do not guarantee against. These are commonplace with antiques and with most buyers this is understood and accepted, however, if you are a discerning, highly particular customer, expecting mint or near mint condition, it is advisable that you not ever submit absentee bids here or at any auction house without seeing the item in person, since your definition of condition might be far more particular than what any cataloger would have time or space to specify. The entire purpose of our catalog description is to give our readers a general description and idea of what the lot is and we will stand behind that description regarding a major discrepancy only. If the discrepancy is less than a major discrepancy, under no circumstances would any adjustment or refund be made. Should the need arise, the auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale. Absentee bids will not be executed on items that are found to be other than described in the catalog unless we were able to contact you prior to the lot being sold and advise of this discrepancy. If we are unable to reach you or if time does not Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information
permit, we will not execute your bid. Please Note: the only thing we guarantee is what is in print in the catalog and what is announced from the block at the time of sale. Absolutely nothing discussed over the telephone or in person prior to the auction shall be construed as part of the guarantee. Since opinions can differ, particularly in the matter of condition, the auctioneer will be the sole judge in the matter of refunds. This guarantee is limited to the following time duration and limits. Please read: A. Time Limit For live bidders it is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. If you are an absentee bidder then it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt. If a major discrepancy should be discovered, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately. Please note: All guarantees and options for refunds or adjustment become null and void 45 days after the auction. We pay consignors on the 45th day. Once we have paid our consignors we no longer have control for the payment and under no circumstances can we consider any refunds. If you suspect that there is a major discrepancy or problem with authenticity of your lot, it is your responsibility to contact our office before the 45 days are up and let us know that you need some extra time. We can usually make arrangements to extend the guarantee for a few days if you personally advise us. Please note: If you pay late and thus, receive your items late, it does not qualify for special privileges. The guarantee is null and void 45 days after the auction. It is your responsibility to pay for and acquire your purchases in a timely fashion. So if there is a major discrepancy, you have time to notify our office. Please remember that if you call us 46 days after the auction, there is nothing we can do about a major discrepancy except apologize to you. If you want to be considered for an adjustment or refund, it is your responsibility to notify us within 45 days after the auction. B. Limit of Restitution Under no circumstances will the auctioneer be responsible for lost profits or other financial damages. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be accompanied by at least a supporting written statement from an authority recognized by the auctioneers. Auctioneer will not be responsible for shipping costs, after auction appraisal fees, testing or any other post auction costs. If it is agreed that an item may be 614
returned, it is the buyer’s responsibility to return it in the same condition as received. C. Type of Restitution An item that qualifies for an adjustment is limited to one of the following options: 1) Major problems, (i.e. fakes, significant alteration, major unannounced restoration, etc.) will result in a refund in sale price, adjustment in sale price or repair by the auctioneer. The auctioneer shall be the judge as to the final resolve. 2) Less than major problems or discrepancies are not part of the guarantee and no refund or adjustment will be considered for less than major problems. 2. Receipt of Goods All goods sold will be tagged and can be claimed upon presentation of paid receipts ONLY. All items to be wrapped will be wrapped by the purchaser, unless the items are to be shipped. 3. Protested Bids In case of a disputed bid, the Auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder and at his d iscretion may re-offer and resell the article in dispute. 4. Tax State of Maine sales tax is 5.5% and will be collected at time of payment unless a current sales tax certificate is on file or if shipped anywhere except Maine and Massachusetts. If purchases are shipped to a Maine address, sales tax of 5.5% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file. If purchases are shipped or delivered to a Massachusetts address, sales tax of 6.25% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file. 5. Nominal Bids The Auctioneer may reject nominal bids, small opening bids or very nominal advances made with purpose of disparaging an item. If a lot fails to open for 25% to 30% of the low estimate, the item may be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and may not be re-offered until a later sale. 6. Absentee Bids Phone, fax or mail bids will be accepted with a 20% deposit, late bids or last minute bids can be confirmed with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express number, in many cases. In such case, the bookkeeper will execute such bids competitively. It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid price. Please Note: Absentee bids are a service provided
to our customers free of charge. Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids; however, you must know that this is not a perfect system neither here nor at any other auction house. In the event of an error of omission or failure to properly execute absentee bids, the auctioneer shall not be held liable. 7. Terms All items are to be paid for in American funds at the day of the auction. Non-residents who have not established an account with us and wish to pay by check, must do so prior to the beginning of the auction by presenting a current letter of reference from their bank or by providing references which are suitable to the auctioneer. Absentee Bidders - Directly after the auction a bill will be sent to you for the items you purchased and a total amount due. This bill is due upon presentation and must be paid immediately. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank, if the auctioneer deems such action necessary to protect his interest. For bidders located outside of the United States we only accept payment by checks drawn on U.S. banks or wire transfer. 8. Interest and Default Payment is due upon receipt. If the buyer’s invoice is not paid in full within 15 days of the auction, James D. Julia, Inc. has the right and will charge the buyer’s credit card of record on file for the total invoice amount. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 15 days from the date of purchase/auction. All goods not retrieved by Buyer within 120 days after the last day of the auction, shall be subject to a storage fee of $50 per item per month. Buyer authorizes auctioneer to sell any goods not retrieved after the 120 day period in any manner deemed appropriate by the auctioneer and the proceeds will be applied to all sums owed by the buyer to the auctioneer under this or any other agreement between the parties. If the sale is conducted by the auctioneer, in addition to all sums due hereunder, buyer shall pay the auctioneer’s standard commission fees and 1% insurance fee. Buyer specifically authorizes any such sale to be held without reserve. Buyer shall be responsible for any deficiencies between the sale price and all sums due hereunder. 9. Reserves Some items in this auction may carry a conservative reserve. Therefore, the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the owner or for the auction house. The purchaser will be the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below the low estimate in the catalog. Actual reserve figures cannot be divulged, but we will tell you if an item carries a reserve should you ask.
10. Withdrawal We reserve the right to withdraw any property before sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. 11. Title A title passes upon the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. It will then be the responsibility of the buyer to make full payment prior to removing the goods from the premises. It is both the buyer’s risk and expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the sale unless other arrangements are made with the Julia’s Operations Manager. Please note any lots we might make arrangements for moving or storing are solely at the risk of the owner and any damage or loss occurring after the fall of the hammer becomes that of the buyer. 12. Phone Bids At the discretion of the auctioneer, phone bidding may be arranged on more expensive items, (i.e. $500 or more). In order to make arrangements to bid on the telephone at the time a lot is being sold, you must contact our office in advance of the auction. We will make arrangements to call you just prior to the lot being sold so that you may bid over the telephone. There are usually a limited number of phone lines available into the room, so if you wish to bid over the telephone, it is important for you to make your arrangements early. “Cover-me Bids”: if you wish to bid by telephone, you might also want to consider a “cover-me bid” at the time you make arrangements for phone bidding. A “cover-me bid” allows your phone contact here at Julia’s to still execute a predetermined bid amount for you in the case that they cannot get through to you on the telephone. Your phone agent is the only person who will have this bid and will only use it to bid in the event that he/she cannot reach you. Assuming you are reached via telephone, they would not use your bid, but rely on your verbal instructions. “Cover-me bids” are not mandatory, you can place one at your discretion, they are simply a safety device in the event you cannot be reached by telephone in time. 13. Agent Responsibility If you are registering or executing a bid for someone else under your number, please bear in mind that you are responsible for the settlement of that account with us regardless of whether the person you’re executing or registering for pays you or not.
in addition shall be 22% of the final bid price over $100,000 which will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. Winning bids placed through a third-party online platform may be subject to a higher buyer’s premium. If the Buyer’s Premium set forth on any such platform exceeds the Buyer’s Premium set forth herein, Buyer agrees to pay such additional premium charge. 15. Endangered Species Act The laws of various countries and states regulate the import, export and transport of certain plant and animal items. Julia’s has taken steps to ensure that items offered for sale that are covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) meet the standards for sale under this Act. Transport of these items may require special permits or licenses for import, export or delivery into certain states. It is the bidder’s responsibility to obtain all such licenses or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such permit or license does not relieve the buyer of paying for the item and obtaining title to the item. The company makes no representation or warranty and accepts no liability whatsoever to the seller, purchaser or any third party with respect to compliance with the ESA or with respect to the availability or issuance of valid import and export permits. 16. Legal Dispute Any legal disputes arising from this auction shall be settled in the court system in the State of Maine. 17. Uniform Commercial Code The Maine Uniform Commercial Code, Title 11, Section 2-328 applies to this auction sale. 18. Acceptance of Conditions Bidding on article(s) indicates your acceptance of all of the above terms. 19. Maine Auctioneer Rules and Regulations The Maine Auctioneer Rules and regulations are regulated by the Maine Board of Licensing of Auctioneers, 35 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333. 20. Auctioneer’s License Numbers Auctioneer: James D. Julia ME License #AR83; NH License #2511 Mass. License #1406 Not responsible for typographical errors or omissions.
14. Buyer’s Premium Shall be reduced to 21% of the final bid price up to and including $100,000 and reduced to 19% of the final bid price over $100,000 which will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the Buyer as part of the purchase price. This is assuming the account is paid by cash, check or any equivalent of cash. If you settle your account by credit card, the Buyer’s Premium shall be the standard 24% of the final bid price up to and including $100,000 and 615

Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Bidding It’s always best to attend the auction in person to bid on the items you wish, but if for some reason you can’t attend, there is no reason that you can’t obtain some of the items that you would like to purchase. At Julia’s, absentee bidding is always a convenient, easy and safe means of acquiring items that you want. As you can see, our specialty catalogs illustrate all lots to be sold, and as well give a complete description which includes condition. These descriptions, as per the conditions of our sale in the front of your catalog, are guaranteed against major discrepancies with a major impact on the value. If there are some items here that you think you would like to own but can’t attend the auction, we have many options to help you bid without being in the audience. If you are the winning bidder, after the auction you will receive an invoice via email and then in the mail from us. Typically the email invoices are sent out within 24 hours after the auction, and the paper invoice is sent out 2 business days after the auction.. 1. Bidding Options a. Leave a Bid Send in the form in your catalog or download a bid form from our website http://jamesdjulia. com/absentee-bidding/. You can bid by mail by simply filling out the form in the back of the catalog and sending along a 20% deposit check or credit card information. You can fax the form to us, email it to us, or call us with your absentee bid. A valid credit card is required. Your account is charged only if you are delinquent in making your payment. (There are additional fees associated with using credit cards.) If you provide us with your email address, we will send you a confirmation email to verify the lot numbers, description and amount of your bid. Please review this confirmation to make sure that everything is entered properly. Remember, at Julia’s, the way we conduct the absentee bids, it’s entirely possible to buy something for less than your top bid since your bids are executed competitively by our team in an attempt to buy the lot as reasonably as possible, just as though you were in attendance.
c. Live-time Bidding via the Internet Julia’s has partnered with third party online bidding platforms to offer customers the ability to bid live online from anywhere. Julia’s loads all the information contained in our printed catalog on the online bidding sites about two weeks prior to the auction. The lot number, an image of the lot, and a brief description with a presale low and high estimate will be shown on the screen. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform. Julia’s may occasionally experience Internet and/ or Server service outages during which bidders may not be able to participate in the auction. Julia’s policy is to continue to conduct the auction. d. Absentee Bidding via the Internet Julia’s loads all the information contained in our printed catalog on third party online bidding platforms about two weeks prior to the auction. You may view any of these items and submit bids up to 2 weeks prior to the auction by following their registration and absentee bid instructions. Specific information on how to do this is available on each of their sites. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform. Julia’s may occasionally experience Internet and/ or Server service outages during which bidders may not be able to participate in the auction. Internet absentee bidders are advised that their absentee bids may not be executed in the event of technological problems. Julia’s policy is to continue to conduct the auction. 2. How Do I Set Up a Phone Bid? Simply send in your bid form from your catalog
or download a bid form from our website www. jamesdjulia.com/absentee-bidding/ and mark the bid as a phone bid, email it to us at bid@ jamesdjulia.com, fax it to us at 207-453-2502 or call into the office 207-453-7125 to register for the lots for which you would like to bid on the telephone. 3. How Do I Register to Bid Online? To register, contact the online bidding service, Invaluable at www.invaluable.com, www. bidsquare.com (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or www.proxibid. com (included only during Firearms auctions) at www.proxibid.com and register in advance of the auction. You will be notified that you have been approved to bid and your registration will be complete. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform. 4. How Do I Bid Live Through the Internet Bidding Platforms? You will need to register for the auction with the third party online bidding platform first. Once you have been registered, watch for your lot. When the lot comes up for bid, a window will display a price the auctioneer is asking for. If the window is flashing $5,500, it means the auctioneer is asking for $5,500. As the auctioneer receives that bid and then asks for a higher bid a new amount will flash in that window. If you have registered to bid you may bid in the auction by simply clicking the bid button on your screen. Regardless of where you are in this country or where you are in the world it will automatically register on a computer at our auction site where a technician will see your bid and bid on your behalf. This innovation allows you to bid live-time during the auction. Online bidding allows the bids to be almost instantaneously transferred to you and to us, so subsequently you can bid within the confines of that time. There are some people who like to bid
b. Phone Bids On the more expensive lots, ($500+ and up) if you feel you would really like to purchase them and not be restrained by the process of a written bid, we can make arrangements to call you at the time the lot is coming up and you may bid over the telephone on the lots as they are being sold. Remember phone bids must be arranged well in advance of the auction (see instructions above on how to leave a bid). Also please remember there are a limited number of phones available, so if you would like to phone bid, you should make your arrangements early. 617

this way and some of our clients have found it both interesting and convenient to do so. If you have any questions about this please don’t hesitate to call our office, or contact Invaluable, BidSquare (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or Proxibid (included only during Firearms Auctions). Invaluable also provides a web tutorial on bidding for those who would like more details, along with an extensive FAQ section http:// www.invaluable.com/invaluable/help.cfm. 5. How Much Time Do I Have to Bid on a Lot? If the asking bid is something you are willing to pay, do not hesitate. For the most part, the auctioneer does not stop or slow down, he simply moves along at a very brisk pace. It is always assumed by the auctioneer that the bidder knows what they want to bid and if they do not bid or hesitate to bid, it means they are not interested. The auction process moves very rapidly whether you are live at the auction, online or on the phone. For anyone wanting to be successful, it is important that you know or make up your mind before the lot is sold just how high you will bid on that particular lot. Those who wish to think about it while the auction is in process and bid on impulse, will find themselves not being as successful, being frustrated and sometimes even paying more than they normally intended to. 6. How Much Do I Bid? Bid whatever you wish, our online and printed catalogs as well as online listings offer item descriptions which include estimated low to high value range. These estimates are in no way an indication of what the items will definitely bring. If you will check our past catalogs, you will find some items bring less than low estimates, some items bring far more than the high estimate. So it’s totally dependent upon how badly people want the items. 7. Who Bids? There are generally two categories of absentee bidders. a. The collector type, who seriously wishes to purchase a given lot or lots. To that buyer we encourage you to bid as high as you feel comfortable bidding. If you seriously want the lot you should not hesitate to consider going above the high estimate to ensure that you get it. b. The next type of absentee bidder is the person who is a dealer buying for stock or a collector willing to buy items only if they are at a real bargain. This type of bidder will often bid on a large number of items knowing full well that not everything will bring a strong price, there are bound to be some things that will fall well below our estimate and that bidder knows that if they leave a large number of bids that they have a chance of picking up a few things at a very Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information
reasonable price. Some bidders will leave 3, 4, 5 or 6 pages of bids with us, based with that theory in mind. And usually they are successful with a few items and the items they are successful with tend to be very good buys. 8. What Is a “Plus 1” Bid? Some bidders not wishing to lose a lot for the same price or just slightly above what their top bid was elect to use our “Plus 1” policy. What this does is empower our staff to go one more bid for you in the event someone in the audience has bid the exact same amount of your top bid or just slightly above it. The bookkeeper will then bid one more bid which sometimes is all it takes to get the lot. Typically the auctioneer raises the increments by 10%. If you submit a “Plus 1” Bid, we will increase your bid by 10% over your bid amount. A “Plus 2” bid will increase your bid by 20%. 9. What is a “Cover” Bid? The phone bidding system is not a perfect one. You may be out mowing the lawn and forget about your bid. Or somehow, the phone number got transposed and the phone agent is desperately trying to reach you but unbeknownst to them, they are calling the incorrect number. Or the phone system could break down. Any myriad of other issues can arise. If you seriously want a particular item, your best strategy is to leave a cover bid. A cover bid is a bid which you leave along with your phone bid instructions. If for any reason at all, your phone agent is not able to get in contact with you, they are authorized to bid up to that amount. Please note, your agent does not use the cover bid if they have you on the telephone. You are in control when you are on the telephone. The cover bid is only an insurance policy in the unlikely event that your phone agent is unable to make a connection with you. Subsequently, the only way your cover bid is utilized is if your phone agent cannot get through to you. They will bid up to your cover bid and no more. Again, please remember, the cover bid means nothing if your phone agent gets ahold of you. 618
Even though you left a $10,000, when your phone agent has you on the phone, you might decide not to go any higher than $4,000. That is your prerogative. On the other hand, you might change your mind and decide to go to $15,000. That is still your prerogative and the benefit of being on the telephone. If you choose to not leave a cover bid and if we do not reach you on the phone, there is nothing we can do at that point. 10. Will Julia’s Tell Me What the Top Bid is on a Lot? Absolutely not. At Julia’s we never ever divulge how much an absentee bid is or who has left bids. Under no circumstances do we ever divulge that information. We can advise you and assist you with your bids. For instance, if you only have $3,000 to spend but are interested in three separate lots all in the general value range of $3,000 and don’t know which one you should pursue, you may call our office and if two of the lots you are interested in seem to have a great deal of interest in them and the third lot has no interest whatsoever, we will gladly advise you of that. Remember, under no circumstances would we ever divulge who has bid or how much any of our absentee bids are. 11. Can I Leave an Unlimited Bid? Absolutely not. We cannot honor bids which do not have a set top amount. If you want a lot very badly, then we suggest you bid well above the estimate and pick a figure that you would feel comfortable owning it at should it go that high. 12. Does Absentee Bidding Work? Absolutely. At our specialty auctions from anywhere to 25% to 45% of all merchandise is purchased by absentee bidders. And some items are acquired for well less than their top absentee bid. 13. Does the Auctioneer Reopen Bidding? The James D. Julia Auctioneers must conduct their auctions in accordance with UCC statutes which specifically state that when the hammer
falls, the bidding is concluded and the winning bidder announced is the new owner. Because of this law, the auctioneer cannot and will not reopen the bidding because you decided too late to bid. This is a law and the auctioneer must abide by this. The only exception is “where a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid. The auctioneer may in his discretion reopen the bidding or declare the good sold under the bid on which the hammer was falling.” This is the only exception. Therefore, if you seriously want a lot, do not hesitate to bid because once the hammer falls it is sold and there is nothing the auctioneer can do about it. 14. How Do I Know if I Won? After the auction is over with, our staff will send out bills to all the successful bidders on the next business day. Please do not attempt to call the auction facilities the day of the auction. Our lines are frequently busy with phone bidders and we cannot tie up the lines and the office staff when not on the phone with absentee bidders. They are extremely busy cashing out customers and very rarely have time to check the records for bids at that time. If you must call, we would advise you to call the afternoon of the first business day following the auction. 15. What is a Late Bid? We frequently process thousands of bids for an auction. Please make sure your absentee bid form is received by Julia’s no later than 4:00 pm EST the date before the auction. If you are an international bidder, or first time bidder, please allow two additional days to establish your account with Julia’s If you are mailing or faxing bids we encourage you to phone our office before the auction to confirm that we received your bids. A while ago, we sent a group of eight letters out to people in various parts of the country and for some reason, the entire packet of eight letters took 14 to 16 days to get to their destination. Please be sure to call and confirm that we’ve received your bids if they’ve been sent out seven to ten days prior to the auction.
16. How Much Does it Cost? a. Absentee Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you. b. Phone Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you. c. When you win an item through an internet platform, there are additional service fees. Please see the Conditions of Sale for the third party online bidding platforms for more information.
the speaker system broadcasting everything the auctioneer is saying and in front of the phone bidders sits a myriad of auction participants, many of which may be speaking with one another. Bottom-line is that an auction is an incredible arena of activity and noise and very difficult for your phone agent. The best way for success is to be prepared and do not try to converse with your agent in the process; simply say a “Yes” bid or “No” bid. If you are silent your agent may think the call has been lost and so it is always best to let them know when you are “Out” and would like to stop bidding.
17. How Does the Phone Bidding Process Work the Day of the Auction? What Should I Expect? Your phone agent will call usually a few lots early to be sure to get you on the telephone on time to bid for the lot. Your phone agent will remind you of a few important instructions on how to successfully bid.
18. What Can I Do When I am Phone Bidding to Better My Chances of being the Winning Bidder? a. Know what you want to bid in advance.
The most successful bidders are the ones that are prepared. To maximize success, you should study the lots and make a decision as to what your ultimate bid should be before you even get on the telephone. If you know you are willing to go to $10,000 and no more and the phone agent tells you that the auctioneer is looking for $5,500, you do not need to think about anything, you simply say “Yes.”Your agent will tell you and repeat one of two messages; either “We have it,” which means there is no need to bid at this moment or “The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid? The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid?” If you want to bid, do not hesitate, do not try to invoke a strategy, do not try to measure the “pulse” of the auction bidding; simply say “Yes, bid,” but say it loudly so there can be no question that your phone agent hears you and perhaps repeat yourself. You need to understand the auction environment for your phone bid agent. The phone bidder is at a table, sometimes there are as many as 10 or 20 other phone bidders on either side of your phone bidder speaking to their bidders. In the background and overhead is
c.

b. During the bidding process, only communicate to your phone agent whether you want to bid when they ask you. Speak loudly.
d. Do not hesitate. The auctioneer will not wait for you anymore than he would for someone in the audience. It is a fact that at every single auction, there are one or two phone bidders who complain and feel the auctioneer should have waited to give them more time to make their decision. If you want to bid, then you need to bid. e. Last of all, when arranging your telephone bids leave a cover bid as a form of insurance. Good luck. If you have any questions concerning this service, please call before the auction and we will be glad to assist you in any way we can. —Jim Julia

Absentee Bid Conditions
Please read if you are submitting absentee bids. 1. Important Note: Absentee bids are a service provided to our customers free of charge. Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids. However, you must know, that because of the hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of bids that must be processed just prior to an auction, it is inevitable that a few mistakes will occur. Your best protection is to be there in person, but if you cannot, you must understand that this is not a perfect system and it is not at any auction house. To better serve our absentee bidders, we have what’s referred to as a “plus 1 bid” and on phone bids a “cover me bid”. You should definitely read about both of these and consider using them to help insure your participation. We will do everything in our power to execute your bids properly, however, in the event of an error of omission, or failure to properly execute absentee bids, the Auctioneer shall not be held liable. 2. All absentee bids must be accompanied by a 20% deposit which will be refunded immediately after auction if your bid is unsuccessful. If your bid is successful, your 20% deposit will be applied to the purchase price and the balance due upon presentation of our bill. If time does not permit the physical 20% deposit, you may confirm your bid by your Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. Should you provide a credit card number, the only way that we would use your credit card number is if you default on payment, then we would bill your account for the amount due.
bid. If your bid is the only bid on a lot she will not start bidding, she will wait until the audience opens the bid and then compete with them until she has either won the lot or it has gone beyond her limit. It is therefore possible sometimes for you to buy a lot well under your top bid. If two or more bids are received on the same item from different people, the bidding will open at the next logical raise above the second highest bid. If two absentee bids are received with the exact same amount, the first one received will take precedence. 5. All bids must be in even dollar amounts. Bids in fractions of dollars or odd amounts will be considered the next lower even dollar amount. The minimum bid increment is usually 10% of the last bid. Therefore, if someone leaves a bid of $100.50 we will automatically round it off to $100. If you should leave a bid of $103 we will round it off to $100. 6. Open bids or bids with no set top amount or orders to just simply buy the lot, cannot be accepted by us. You must have a definite top limit before we can execute your bid. Alternatives to this are as follows:
3. To execute an absentee bid, fill out the enclosed form, listing catalog number, description and your top bid price (not including the buyers p remium). Send this together with your deposit as soon as possible. If your bids are sent seven days or fewer prior to the auction, you should call our offices three days prior to the auction to confirm that we have received your bids. If they have not been received at that point in time, you should submit your bids over the telephone.
a. Telephone Bids: Lot must be worth $500+ each. This can be done by giving us a credit card number to affirm your bids or sending a 20% deposit for what you might anticipate to bid on the object. (NOTE: There are limited phone lines and phone bids will be handled on a first come, first served basis.) Cover Me Bid: To help ensure that you don’t miss out on an object, some people like to place a cover me bid at the time they make phone bid arrangements. No system is perfect and sometimes it is impossible, for one reason or another, to get through to the client on the telephone. A Cover Me Bid is a bid left only with your phone agent. If he/she cannot get through to you on the phone, they will bid up to that amount on your behalf. The only way they execute this bid is if they cannot get through to you.
4. Bids are handled in a competitive manner by our bookkeeper who bids on your behalf in an attempt to buy the object for less than your top
b. Plus 1 Bid: Some bidders concerned that their lot might just go for one bid above their top limit, leave a top bid plus one. This works as

follows: the top bid submitted might be $1,000, but not wishing to lose the lot for simply one more bid, the plus one bid allows the bookkeeper to bid one more time on your behalf. Generally a bid increment is 10%, so if you left a $1,000 bid plus 1 it would allow her to go $1,000 plus 100. If you said $1,000 plus 2 bids that would mean $1,000 plus $200. (NOTE: One possible problem that occasionally arises with absentee bids is when someone in the audience bids exactly the amount which you specify is your limit. In such a case, we would not go one extra bid unless your bid sheet indicates plus one bid.) 7. Notification of Success: Only successful bidders are contacted. A written bill is usually sent within three (3) working days after the auction. The bill will be accompanied by shipping information. Unsuccessful bidders are not contacted. Phone inquiries regarding your success cannot be answered until the second business day after the auction. 8. Shipping: If you are a successful bidder, a bill will be sent shortly after the auction. This bill must be paid upon receipt. Purchasers should indicate their desired method of shipment if such is necessary. We will be pleased to assist you by shipping items which you purchase. A charge for this service includes labor, packing materials, shipping and insurance. Please Note: Certified check, or wire transfers or any other form of guaranteed funds will expedite shipping. Shipping can take 14 to 21 days after payment is received (depending upon gallery work load). 9. The Shipping Department may decline to execute instructions to ship items which are too large or too fragile to be shipped by common carrier. In such cases, the only way we can ship these special items is by way of a letter from the buyer releasing us from the responsibility of any damage that might occur in shipping. 10. Bidding on any article(s) indicates your acceptance of these terms above. If you need additional information on any of the items, please contact our office.
