He won a scholarship to study architecture in Europe and founded his own firm, Albert Kahn Associates, in Detroit in 1895. Kahn developed a innovative form of construction that replaced wood walls with reinforced concrete, which allowed for larger unobstructed interiors and greater fire protection. The Packard Motor Car Company factory, built in 1903, was the first project to incorporate Kahn’s new construction method. In 1917 he designed both the half-mile-long Ford River Rouge Complex in Dearborn and the Detroit News Building. In 1928 he designed the 28-story Fisher Building in Detroit, which was noted as the most beautiful commercial structure of the year by the Architectural League of New York. His residential projects included the Cranbrook House in Bloomfield Hills, the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe as well as a number of homes in Indian Village, Detroit. He is also responsible for a number grand buildings on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, including Hill Auditorium, the Hatcher Graduate Library, the William L. Clements Library and Burton Memorial Tower. During his career, Kahn received more than 1000 commissions from Henry Ford as well as other national automakers.

An American Silver Spoon
Grant Wood, Cedar Rapids, IA, Circa 1913 the elongated handle with slightly up-turned squared terminal marked on reverse of handle W. incuse Length 6 1/4 inches Celebrated painter Grant Wood (1891-1942) actually began his artistic career in metalsmithing. Born in Anamosa, IA, Wood was trained at the Minneapolis Handicraft Guild. In 1911 he and partner Kate Loomis founded a workshop focusing on jewelry and metal in the basement of the Loomis home in Cedar Rapids. The Loomwood Craft Shop sold hand wrought trays, sconces, holloware and jewelry in copper and silver. Wood was member of the Cedar Rapids Sketch Club, and it was at a meeting hosted at the Loomwood Craft Shop that Wood befriended fellow artist Julian Lars Hoftrup in 1913. The present lot is thought to have been given to Hoftrup by Wood in payment for lessons (Darcy L. Evon, Hand Wrought Arts & Crafts Metalwork & Jewelry 18901940, 2013, p. 224). In the same year Wood moved to Chicago, where he worked for the Kalo Shop while attending evening classes at the Art Institute. In 1914 he partnered with Norwegian silversmith Kristopher Haga to open the Would Shop in Park Ridge focused on gold and silver jewelry. The partnership lasted eighteen months, at which time Haga returned to the Kalo Shop, and Wood moved back to Iowa and commenced painting (Sharon S. Darling, Chicago Metalsmiths, 1977, p. 63). $300-500

Records indicate that the porringer required 15 hours to be raised and that the chasing was accomplished by a “boy” and required an additional 15 hours.

366
Darcy L. Evon, in Hand Wrought Arts & Crafts Metalwork & Jewelry 1890-1940, 2013, notes that maker’s mark WC may be that of William Codman, Jr. who was working in Chicago in the late 19th-early 20th century. The son of famed Martelé designer, William Christmas Codman Sr., William Jr. and his brother John moved to Chicago in 1895 to design for Spaulding & Co.. While John stayed in Chicago for only one year, William Jr. remained in the city and likely produced a wholesale line of hand raised and chased silver retailed by various Chicago-based jewelry firms (pp. 144, 270). $700-900

Evon notes that retailer B.S.C. was likely a Chicago-based company. She illustrates a bowl also marked BSC and with maker’s mark WC and suggests that WC may possibly be attributed to William Codman, Jr., who was a designer for Spaulding & Co., Chicago, IL from 1895-1901 (pp. 144, 270). $300-500

Bertha Matilde Honoré Palmer
The monogram is that of Bertha Matilde Honoré Palmer (1849-1918), wife of Chicago businessman Potter Palmer (1826-1902). Mrs. Palmer was raised in Louisville, KY and in 1871 married Potter Palmer, twentythree years her senior. In 1852 Potter Palmer had established a dry goods store on Lake Street in Chicago. To distinguish his firm from his competitors Palmer focused his efforts on female clientele selling both dry goods and imported French fashions, and instituted a “no questions asked” return policy. In 1865 he partnered with Marshall Field and Levi Leiter and rebranded the firm as Field, Palmer Leiter and Company. He is credited for the development of State Street as well as Lake Shore Drive, where in 1885 the Palmers constructed a massive turreted Italianate mansion in the Gold Coast. The Palmers were ambitious collectors of French Impressionism, and their collection, which now forms the core of the Art Institute of Chicago’s collection, included 29 Monets and 11 Renoirs. Mrs. Palmer was famous for her legendary jewels and lavish tastes-the front page headline of the Chicago Sunday Tribune once begged the question “Is Mrs Potter Palmer the Only American Woman Who Knows how to Spend a Fortune?”. Her husband’s will dictated that upon his death a significant sum should go to Bertha’s next husband “Because he’ll need it.” Mrs. Palmer was very involved in the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, and served as the President of the Board of Lady Managers. She died in Florida in 1918. The Palmer Mansion was demolished in 1950. $12,000-18,000

Conditions of Sale LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS, INC. AS AGENT The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.
AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser.
