The printed catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have e 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.

The limited guarantee is limited to what you paid for the item from us and not what you expect to get if you had sold it.

Disclaimer: Any advice or opinions provided by Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. or its employees are given strictly as a courtesy, authenticity, age, attribution or description of said property.

14A. ABSENTEE BIDDING:

*Absentee bids must be in by the start of the auction. Please try to get them in at least by 5.00PM EST the day prior to auction. If you wait and place your bids just moments prior to the start of the auction we do not guarantee that your bids will get placed.

*We do not accept +1 bids.

*We accept bids that end in 0 or 5 only. Bids that are placed in amounts such as $501.00 or $500.01 will be lowered to the closes amount ending in 0 or 5. We will never raise a bid higher without permission from the bidder.

*Bid advances are taken at the discretion of the auctioneer. Miniscule advances will not be accepted and will be rounded down. Typical advances are 5-10% of the current bid level.

*A staff member will competitively bid for the absentee bidder. We let the audience start the bidding unless there is more than one bid at the book. If there is more than one bid then the bidding will be started above the under bidders. Example: We have a bid for $1500 and one at $3000. The bidding will then start at $1600 and will then be bid competitively to the limit the absentee bidder set. For this reason, it is possible that an absentee bidder may get their item for much less than what they bid. In the case of two bids being the same amount the bidding will start at that amount and the winner shall be the person who left the bid first.

Poulin FINE ART & ANTIQUES AUCTION BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please note: Being the first ABSENTEE BIDDER does not guarantee that you will be the winning bidder if the floor, phone or internet bidding ties during the live auction. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. The date and time that you submit a bid only determines the winning bidder between two absentee bidders with the same amount participating through the same method or platform.

*We do our best to execute all bides correctly however, errors are made at times. In the event of an error of omission or failure to properly execute a bid, the auctioneer shall not be held liable.

*All left bids are considered confidential, and as such, the names of the absentee bidders and the bid amounts will not be given out.

*Please call prior (at least 48 hours) to the 1st day of the auction to get any information or inquiry reports pertaining to the items.

*We will not accept a bid that does not have an amount associated with it. We have had people on occasion tell us to buy the lot for them no matter what it goes for. We suggest that you place a bid substantially higher than the estimate and what you would be comfortable in paying for it. We do not want to be responsible for your personal choice of amount.

14B. PHONE BIDDING:

*Phone bidding is allowed, when available, only under pre-arranged conditions determined by and discussed with the auctioneer prior to the auction.

*All requests for phone bidding must be made before 5.00 PM EST, prior to the day of the Auction to be sure we can accommodate you within the phone schedule.

*After this point we will only accept absentee bids.

*All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder.

*We reserve the right to reject bids on items that we feel may be too difficult to explain by phone.

*To be a Phone Bidder you must be willing to start an item for ½ of the low catalog estimate or $100.00, whichever is the greater.

*Please note: The employee calling you may be calling from a personal cell phone not belonging to Poulins. Because of this, it may not show on your caller ID as Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. Please do not attempt to contact the telephone line that has contacted you for phone bidding services, they will not answer. If you have any questions during and after the auction, please contact 207-453-2114 to reach an office staff member.

*Also Please note: Please call in advance (at least 48 hours) of the auction if you need conditions or descriptions of the items. Staff members who are calling to handle your phone bids will not be able to answer questions pertaining to condition or description during the auction.

*The staff member that will be on the phone with you during the auction will be very busy concentrating on the current lot, so as to not miss your item that you are interested in. EMPLOYEEES ARE DISCOURAGED FROM DISCUSSIONS DURING THIS TIME SO THAT THEY DO NOT MISS THE ITEM YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Any discussion that

Poulin FINE ART & ANTIQUES AUCTION BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS PLEASE READ

takes place can and has interfered with customers’ bidding in the past. Our employees will be polite and talk to you, but please keep in mind that this could cause them to lose track of your item and consequently miss your bid. We would not want that to happen, so we have asked our employees to keep all conversations extremely brief.

*If you would like to add another lot to your bidding, we will TRY to accommodate you but regrettably may not be able to because of other bids that are already arranged in our system and because of time constraints.

*Phone Bidding Procedure: An appointed staff member will confidentially bid for the Phone bidder. An employee will identify themselves to you and explain that the Phone bidding will commence when the live floor bidding starts to slow a bit. It is simply moving too quickly to ask for an amount when bids are flying. They will then tell you the amount the auctioneer is looking for. Please answer quickly, loudly & clearly either YES or NO. It can be difficult to hear over the auctioneer, so speak loudly. Once done the employee should then Thank You for participating and explain that someone will be calling, emailing or mailing you an invoice after all the days of the auction is done. They will then exit fairly quickly unless you have another bid that will take place within the next 5 items. We apologize if the quick exit seems to insult you in any way, but the employee will be responsible for other phone calls and also will not know the answer to payment, shipping or who will be handling your other bids if any.

*Cover Me Bids: 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.

*Stop Point Bids: A staff member will contact you within 3-5 items prior to the item that you are interested in bidding on. We ask that you consider a “Stop Point”. This is a designated amount you wish the staff member to bid up to on this item for you. Because of the noise level that occurs during an auction, this creates less confusion on the phones for us and our customers. Once they reach this “Stop Point” amount, they will then query you for the next desired amount that the auctioneer is asking for. You can then bid higher or stop if you so desire.

15. INTERNET BIDDING: Live internet bidding is available with Auctionzip.com, Invaluable.com, Proxibid. com, Collector & Live Auctioneers. These are separate companies that are not owned by Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc.

*You must submit a credit card with them when signing up to bid. These card numbers are not supplied to us. You will have to contact our office if successful and submit your credit card information to us.

*These are bidding services that are provided by separate companies that host our auctions live. They charge 3% to the buyer who utilizes their services. This charge will be added to your invoice Buyers Premium.

*Review all lots that interest you at least 24 hours prior to the auction. Sometimes we find a “change”

in condition or listing. We cannot notify each person individually, so what we do is remove the photo and place a statement “No bids accepted online. Please call office to place bids”.

*Please Note: These online platforms tell you when you are the highest absentee bidder. This is only within their platform. AuctionZip, Invaluable, Proxibid, Live Auctioneers & iCollector do not share bid information and so they do not compare your bids with each other or with bids that we have taken in. If they tell you that you are the highest bidder that is only within their platform, not others.

*IMPORTANT – ALL LIVE INTERNET BIDDERS MUST READ THIS DISCLAIMER: Live internet bidding is a fast paced process and can be very fun. However, problems can arise during the process that can result in a purchase or bid being accidentally enacted by the buyer or some entity. This could be that your internet/computer speed or a lag in the connection may cause your computer to slow down and then all of a sudden the computer may catch back up, causing the bidding to “jump” to a lever that you are unprepared to bid. It could also be that your cat, dog, 2-year old or Martians from a far distant planet in a galaxy far, far away enacted a bid that you were not prepared to place. No matter the reason that may come up it is the responsibility of the bidder to pay for the purchase regardless of the reason. The bidder must log in with their personal log information and in doing so understand the risks that they are taking by participating in live internet bidding and agrees to pay for any and all purchases. Any bids placed by your identity are your responsibility.

*If you place absentee bids on these platforms do not ask us to change or void these bids. We do not have control of your accounts within these platforms and so do not have control of your bids. you must change them yourself within your account. If you are having difficulty with this process please contact the platforms that you are participating with for assistance. Most platforms require all changes to be done within 48 hours in advance of the auction start. Check your platform to make sure of the time frame and how to make changes when necessary.

A. Email: If an email address is provided, we will email your invoice along with the shipping and payment forms for you to fill in.

25. DESCRIPTIONS: We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. should the need arise, we will make verbal corrections and provide additional information at the time of sale. A correction to the printed material announced by the auctioneer during the auction takes precedence over printed descriptions. The printed catalog descriptions carry a limited 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. Several examples: If we call a Colt a Winchester. Or if we state the firearm is in original finish and it has been re-blued. Percent estimate of finish is an opinion and may vary from individual to individual, so this would not qualify.

Not every item included in this auction has been completely disassembled to verify internal component’s origins.

Estate of JOHN MARSHALL WEBBER

(1944-2022)

Mr. Webber was a member of the well-known Webber family of Central Maine. A graduate of the University of Maine, he served his country during the Vietnam War in the U.S. Marines. He took his service very seriously and was an admirable member of an elite division in the United States Marine Corp. His assignments took him to various destinations throughout the world. He was a recognized, elite rifleman and received many promotions and accolades for his service to his country and the Corp.

Some of his actions and adventures were beyond fascinating. He loved art and had a great interest in Orientalia. John’s parents were George Peirce and Florence Webber. John was a generous man and much of his estate was bequeathed to Central Maine institutions, most particularly the hospitals.

Zlatoust Engraving Art of Russia

The techniques and innovations of this art form have reached a pinnacle in the production of the knives offered for auction here today.

The technique using gold, silver, brass, and nickel in engraving on steel and ornamented with jewels and enamels is on full display in each of the knives and dagger being offered.

Founded in 1754 in the Ural Mountains in Russia, the Group opened an armory in 1815 which produced a variety of blade weapons including swords, knives, and daggers. At this time, Pavel Petruvich Anosov (1795-1851) a metallurgist and scientist arrived in the Zlatoust Region working with the Russian state mining and foundry operations; one of which was Zlatoust foundry and factory. Pavel rediscovered the formula for producing Damask steel. The process was lost again in 1906 but once more rediscovered and is now used in the blades of the Zlatoust Company.

The Schaaf brothers of Germany were master engravers responsible for improvements in the ability to apply various metals to form the inlaid and engraved artwork displayed in several museums and churches in the regions of Russia and Europe. Their work became part of the Zlatoust Company and have been developed to new heights of beauty and perfection. Ivan Bushuyev; a student of the Schaaf brothers, perfected a method for engraving that revolutionized the way in which the artwork could be bonded to the steel blade and further engraved, giving a three dimensional effect.

These are some of the discoveries and experiments that resulted in the unique and artistic examples you see here today. These knives are available in limited, and often one of a kind, exhibition quality. We hope you are successful in acquiring one of these investment pieces.

Please see the following lot numbers; Lot 1377, Lot 1397, Lot 1398, Lot 1448, and Lot 1449 to view these exquisite and highly detailed Zlatoust knives being offered in this sale.

Philip Kraczkowski (Massachusetts, 1916-1996)

Phil was an independent thinker and a talented artist with many interests in the world of Art and Sculpture. His accomplishments were many and varied such as a commission to create medallions for John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Dag Hammarskjold, and The Apollo Space Program. He also created life size bronze busts for President Kennedy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Senator Lowell Thomas. He designed the original “GI Joe” doll and the “Mack” bulldog for the truck company. He made a series of small statues in colored resin used to create cover illustrations for magazines like “Western Horsemen”. Horses were a favorite subject for him as is evidenced in many of his works in bronze. Well known collectors include Lyndon Johnson, General Eisenhower, Jackie Gleason, Bing Crosby, and Arnold Palmer. He included among his friends personalities such as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Jack Benny. One of his fondest memories was the commission he received by Walt Disney Productions to model Disney figures. Many of his bronzes are rooted in his interests in Western and Frontier life in the 19th century America of which we offer a fine representative example. We are proud to offer a varied and wide selection of his works today without reserve.

1095. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF ALASKAN PHOTOS OF THEYUKON GOLD RUSH OF 1896 AND 1897, MOST BY CHARLES H. METCALF. In 1896 Charles Horton Metcalf and his friend William Richmond Booth left Michigan to go to the Klondyke for work. On August 16th of that same year, a man by the name of George Carnack and a couple of his friends discovered gold on Rabbit Creek which was a tributary of the Klondyke River, it was later to become known as Bonanza Creek. Word spread rapidly and all of the miners in the area descended on this region to stake their claim. In the spring of 1897, the first ships coming out of the Yukon region and arriving in Seattle carried virtually millions of dollars’ worth of gold and with it began the most amazing stampede in history. A world recession was occuring at the time and over 100,000 people from all over the world rushed as quickly as they could and tried to get to the Yukon region certain that they would become wealthy overnight. Postal employees walked off their job, salespeople working for the merchants in Seattle quit on the spot and rushed to get a ticket on the returning ship. Policemen discarded their badges and uniform and did the same. It was amazing. In 1896 before the outside world knew about the strike, Metcalf was there and elected to capture what was going on via photographs.

This lot contains approximately 44 photographic images taken during the very beginning of this incredible happening. The collection originally came from a Maine/Texas estate and in this group of images are four photos of members of the Wilson family; Floyd Wilson, his first wife and Pearly Wilson. It is believed that these individuals are ancestors of the Maine family that acquired these images.

The photographic images include an 8” x 10” image of a gold mining scene with sluices and depicts 27 miners with spades working the sluices in the area that is surrounding it. In the background there is an incredible tent city, probably Dawson. Another group of 21 wonderful images mounted on cardboard 5 1/4” x 4 1/4” marked “Chas. H. Metcalf, Detroit, Michigan”. Most of them are marked in pen by hand “copyright 1897” and the reverse of almost every single image has a notation explaining what it is, where it is or who it is. In the lower left corner of many of the images is a number which probably matches up to the original glass plate/slide from which the photo was probably made back in the period. Another group of eighteen similar images, also 5 1/4” x 4 1/4”, also marked on the reverse with captions of what they represent were probably done by Metcalf, but his name is not noted on the front or the back. A group of four similar snapshot photos which were never mounted on cardboard. This entire lot consisting of 44 pieces is an overview of the happenings in the Yukon including a photograph of the original discover George Carnark, images of the building of Dawson City, Indians, stores, mining scenes, miners, Lake Bennett where miners built boats to begin their perilous journey down the Yukon River, images of Juneau, an image of the infamous Chilcoot Pass, boats running the Yukon River, scenes of the steamers entering and leaving the Yukon, and much, much more. For those interested in this extraordinary event in history, this is a wonderful time capsule of information and imagery of the goings on at the time.

In 1960, Woodbridge Metcalf; son of Charles Horton Metcalf donated 150 glass lantern slides to the Alaskan State Museum, which are currently available to view (but not to be copied). It is believed that possibly some of those glass plates depicted the images in these photos. Metcalf’s partner William Richmond Booth’s family donated several manuscripts and a photo album in 1978 also to the Alaskan Museum. This is a truly outstanding lot. CONDITION: generally good throughout. (05-518/JJ). $5,000-8,000.

GRETA GARBO’S PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Included here are a number of movie stills depicting the famed actress, Greta Garbo. Most were done by the renowned photographer, Clarence Sinclair Bull. Purportedly these photographs were owned at one time by Garbo herself. These are printed on heavy paper and primarily are scenes from some of her movies.

This wonderful grouping of Garbo movie stills, as noted, were owned by Garbo. In 1995, an auction house in Maine conducted a major auction of a private collection of Greta Garbo material. A noted documents collector over the years had amassed an extraordinary array of photos and personal items of Ms. Garbo’s. The majority of the things he purchased were from the renowned documents expert and dealer, Charles Montgomery. The auction was truly a major event, and probably one of the more significant auctions of Garbo’s personal material. In 1925, when Garbo traveled to the US from Sweden to begin working for MGM, until her death in 1990, she remained an incredibly and intensely private and often reclusive individual. She rarely allowed photographs of herself, other than promotional ones for movies and very, very rarely autographed anything. This sale was notable not only for the vast array of professional movie photographs, but also for all the personal material that was Garbo’s, for instance her daybook from 1925 when she came to the United States was included, numerous personal letters that Garbo had received and amongst the personal photos were a small group of stunning private images of Garbo on a vacation where she is topless and wearing only shorts. This was really a significant Garbo event and various news publications including one from Sweden traveled to Maine to cover the auction, as did a relative the late Ms. Garbo’s. The disgruntled individual who represented himself as the nephew of Ms. Garbo, attended the auction and he claimed these items had belonged to his aunt Greta and maintained she would never have sold these things if she was still alive and he purchased some things and later in a post auction interview with Associated Press, he complained to the Associated Press that the majority of these items had been Ms. Garbo’s personal things. It certainly makes sense that it would’ve been. The original collector had previously shared with the auctioneer that he had purchased most of the things from Montgomery, who in turn had shared with him that he had bought the majority of the goods from a young man whose mother was a personal live-in partner of Greta Garbo’s, so it’s very likely that most of the things in that auction actually were the personal possession of Ms. Garbo. Ms. Garbo was a truly beautiful woman, but when she appeared in American movie world around 1925 until her death in 1990, Garbo remained an intensely private and off times reclusive individual, rarely did she allow anyone to photograph her or interview her and precious few autographs of hers exist.

1279. EXTRAORDINARILY RARE ONE OF A KIND GENUINE BILL SCAGEL GUN RACK. Early to mid-20th century. This neat gun rack is made of lemon wood with Michigan white tail deer antlers and wrought metal ornamentation, all crafted by Scagel. William Scagel was an extraordinarily interesting and truly gifted man. He is commonly considered to be “the grandfather” of the modern high art custom handmade knives. He lived, worked and made his knives in Michigan, primarily in the 1920s and 1930s. Of course, he was making them before the ‘20s, but the largest majority of them were made during this period. The knives he made were made to be functional and durable hunting knives, but many people were so drawn to his extraordinary beautiful and artistic looking knives that often times, even during this period there were people purchasing his hand made products, not to use, but to own and to enjoy. This is truly a special item. While Scagel made extraordinarily beautiful and artistic hunting knives, this is supposedly the only gun rack he ever produced. It was collected by Dr. Lucie, who was Scagel’s personal doctor late in life. Dr. Lucie purchased the rack from a gentleman by the name of Armand Durham who purchased it sometime between 1935 and 1936. The wood plate looks like oak, but according to Armand it came from a lemon tree. Scagel’s knives were extremely popular during his lifetime and although they were made to be a functional tool. All of his creations has special artistic flare to it. Some people bought Scagel’s products, just simply to collect and enjoy them, and Armand Durham was one of these men. He had put together quite a number of very, very select Scagel items such as this. Bill Scagel made knives are rare, but this is far rarer than any knife, it’s the only one ever made. A close up of this exact gun rack is illustrated in the book titled Scagel Hand Made, written by Dr. Jim Lucie. This exact item is illustrated on page 183 of this beautiful and highly informative book about this true genius craftsman. SIZE: 52 1/2” l. The width from the top to the bottom varies from 8” to 11 1/2”. CONDITION: fabulous condition. Scagel was the most interesting man, he was a truly conservative, crusty old fellow and lived by his wits and his tremendous and both functional and artistic creativity. There are many interesting stories about Bill that reflect his extraordinary independence. (05-91/JJ). $10,000-20,000.

The 12th Cavalry Regiment has long history before Vietnam service, formed in February 1901 at Fort Sam Houston in Texas. From this time into 1911, the regiment served in Texas, Georgia and the Philippines. In 1916, its First Battalion served along the Texas border against Mexican bandits before reporting to the Panama Canal Zone where they remained until 1921. In 1923 they were assigned to the 2nd Cavalry Division. In January 1933, the regiment became part of the 1st Cavalry Division where it was retasked as an infantry unit but retaining the cavalry designation. Its Second Battalion retained horses for a time and patrolled the US-Mexico border. In 1940 the division took part in the maneuvers in Louisiana and in February 1943, finally traded in its horses for jeeps and ground pounding infantry work. In June 1943, the regiment and division were sent to Australia for further training before its first engagement at Los Negros Island in the Admiralty Island Chain. In late October 1944, the division landed at Leyte in the Philippines and began its long and bloody campaign to liberate that nation. At Hill 2348, the 2nd Battalion of the 12th Cavalry was cut off and hit with successive waves of suicidal Japanese attacks but finally retook the hill. In January 1945 the regiment and division invaded Luzon where they would remain in combat until the end of June. In early February a flying column of troopers would race 100 miles to be the first US troops in Manila. With Japan’s surrender the division became part of the occupying forces in Japan where they remained until 1949. In March 1949, the regiment was inactivated and relieved from duty with the 1st Cavalry Division. In February 1957, the regiment was reactivated and returned to its cavalry roots by becoming part of the 1st Armored Division at Fort Polk in Louisiana. In February 1962, the regiment was again deactivated. In 1963 regiment was reactivated and again assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division and sent to South Korea.

The long history of this unit connects in July 1885 as the 6th Infantry Battalion, California National Guard. In 1888, the 6th Battalion was expanded into the 6th Infantry Regiment which, in May 1898, was mustered into Federal service for the SpanishAmerican War as the 6th California Infantry. In December of that year the regiment mustered out. It was merged with the 2nd Regiment, California National Guard as the new regiment with the same designation.

In June 1916, the regiment was again called into Federal service for action along the Mexican-American border but was mustered out again in November. However, with the American entry into World War One looming, they were back in Federal service in March 1917. Post-war changes in the sub-units of the California Guard took place within the 40th Infantry Division, their parent unit, with the 2nd Regiment ceasing to exist under that designation. What would become the 185th Infantry Regiment would not reform until 1929 and it was composed of sub-units of the 160th and 184th Regiments of the California Guard. In 1930, the unit’s Coat of Arms was approved.

With the U.S. preparing for possible entry into World War Two, the regiment was Federalized in March 1941, still a component of the 40th Infantry Division. They began a year’s training in their home state before being sent with division to Fort Lewis in Washington. In September 1942 the regiment and division were sent to Hawaii. After training for a year in jungle warfare, the division was sent to the Solomon Islands in January 1944. From April through December 1944, the division and regiment were in action on New Britain of that island group. In December they invaded Manus Island. BY early January they became involved in the lengthy fighting to liberate the Philippines and after Japan’s surrender, they arrived back in San Francisco in April 1946. The next day the regiment was deactivated.

In June, the regiment was withdrawn from the 40th Division and assigned to the 49th Division in August. By November, after losing two of its organic battalions but being replaced by reflagging other units, the 185th was Federally recognized. In 1959, the regiment, like many in the Army, became reorganized under the CARS designation (Combat Arms Regimental System) with the designation 185th Infantry.

After the attack of September 11th, 2001, the regiment was reactivated and used to guard important places in California like airports and military bases. In 2003 they were again reactivated after the invasion of Iraq. Later in 2007 one of its companies mobilized for deployment to Iraq for a tour of duty. In 2008 the regiment was disbanded.

In February 2016, the 1st Battalion, 185th Infantry, was redesignated from the 1st Battalion, 185th Armored Regiment after the latter transformed from a Stryker unit. While again carrying the 185th Infantry designation, the command inherits the lineage of the 185th Armor. CONDITION: fine. (02-19473-23/JS). $200-300.

1310J. WW2 ERA 6TH COMPOSITE GROUP FLAG. 3’ x 4’ double applique embroidered on blue field, gold fringe. Their unit Coat of Arms features a sailing ship going through the Gaillard Cut of the Panama Canal with a biplane overhead. Above this is a pirate and the unit’s motto in Latin, “Parati Defendere,” or Ready To Defend in English. This Coat of Arms is centered in the Eagle. Based on the name on the flag, which is Army blue as the unit was part of the Army then, the flag probably dates from the 1922 designation change till redesignated in 1937 as 6th Bombardment Group. Philadelphia QM label inspection in sleeve too faded to discern. This unit began as the 3rd Observation Group in the Panama Canal Zone in September1919 as part of what would become the Army Air Service. In 1921, the unit as redesignated as the 6th Group (Observation) and the 6th Group (Composite) in 1922. In 1937 they became the 6th Bombardment Group of the Army Air Corps before changing to the 6th Bombardment Group (Medium) in 1939 and then the 6th Bombardment Group (Heavy) in 1940. The command’s primary responsibility was mainly with defense of the Panama Canal and included training, participating in maneuvers, flying patrol missions, photographing the canal area, staging aerial reviews and making good-will flights to Central and South American countries. The unit also flew mercy missions in January 1939 to earthquake victims at Santiago, Chile. They were first equipped with R-4’s and DH-4’s in 1919 and used SE-5A, MB-3A, and P-12B aircraft in the period 1922-1929. In 1936 they received B-10’s and B-18’s in 1939. They also used B-17, B-18, B-24, LB-30, and L-4E aircraft after the US entered World War II. The unit disbanded in the Canal Zone on 1 Nov 1943. In January 1944, they were reconstituted in June consolidated with 6th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy), which had been raised in March 1944 and activated in the U.S. in April. They were equipped first with B-17’s and later trained for combat with B-29’s. The unit moved to Tinian in the Pacific in November 1944 to February 1945 and were assigned to Twentieth Air Force. They commenced combat operations by attacking Iwo Jima and the Truk Islands in February 1945. Afterward, they struck industrial targets in Japan, flying in daylight and at high altitude. They later began incendiary raids on area targets in Japan in March and later flew a night mission to drop incendiaries on Tokyo. The unit then participated in mining operations in the Shimonoseki Strait by mining harbors in Japan and Korea in July 1945. They assisted the invasion of Okinawa in April 1945 with strikes on Kyushu, hitting airfields that were used by kamikaze pilots. After the war, they dropped food and supplies to Allied prisoners and took part in show-of-force flights over Japan. The unit then moved to the Philippines in January 1946 and to the Ryukyus in June 1947. The command was inactivated on Okinawa in October 1948. Later, they were redesignated 6th Bombardment Group (Medium) and reactivated in the U.S. in New Mexico as part of the 6th Bombardment Wing in early January 1951. They were assigned to Strategic Air Command and equipped with B-29’s but were inactivated again in June 1952. The unit came back again in once more in October 1996 with an air refueling mission as part of the Objective Wing structure of the 6th Air Refueling Wing. Elements deployed to Southwest Asia in July 1998 to refuel aircraft engaged in no-fly operations over northern Iraq after the first Iraq war. After January 2001, the group also provided airlift for the commanders of U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command. Based at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, their KC-135’s have supported US military operations all over the world including refueling coalition aircraft during the war in Bosnia. Since 2001, personnel and aircraft deployed around the world to fulfill air refueling and aeromedical missions. In the late 2010s the command consisted of three refueling squadrons and an operations support unit. CONDITION: good overall, some fraying to silk edging and ribbon panels.

Unit only active in Air Force 1947-1955. This command was first activated in 1944 at Robins Field in Georgia as the 566th Air Service Group. Within this command was an Air Engineering squadron to handle any maintenance as well as a Air Material Squadron for supply issues. The unit also had a Headquarters and Base Services squadron. Before the unit could be deployed overseas it was inactivated and finally disbanded in 1948. With the coming of the Cold War, the command was reconstituted at Hamilton Air Force base in California with the new designation 566th Air Base Group. The task of the command was similar to its

antecedent organization; base supply and aircraft maintenance and support. Eight squadrons were under its auspices at the time. Eventually the command was redesignated as the 566th Air Defense Group and given the task of defending Northern California air space. The fighters under its control were radar and air missile equipped for Continental Air Defense. In August 1955, the 566th was inactivated and its place at Hamilton Air Force Base taken by the 78th Fighter Group (Air Defense). The flag’s color is Ultramarine Blue reflecting its legacy from the U.S. Army Air Corps days. Above the regimental crest is the Eagle in a cloud which is found on flags of the U.S. Air Force and the central device is surmounted by 13 white stars, an homage to the Thirteen Colonies. The flag dates from the 566th’s time of service after becoming part of the Air Force between 1947 and 1955. CONDITION: fine. (02-19473-25/JS). $200300.

1310L. RARE WW2 650TH TANK DESTROYER BATTALION, COMPANY ”A” GUIDON. 20” x 27” double applique orange cotton text and silhouette of cannon mounted M3 halftrack on black bunting field.

The 650th was formed March 1943 at Camp Bowie, TX and merged with 425th Armor in March 1944. Army QM label not dated but unit only existed one year 1943-1944. The concept of tank destroyer units differed from Army doctrine of tank units before and into World War Two. Tanks were considered the break-through elements of the Army, designed to punch holes in enemy lines and exploit the rear areas causing havoc with logistics, reinforcements and more. The German Army also developed its own tank destroyer doctrine and weapons systems including towed guns (37MM to 88MM) and then motorized armored vehicles (a number of types).

Tank destroyer units were designed to take on enemy tanks that had broken through friendly lines. In the U.S. Army this was done initially with towed 37MM and 75 MM anti-tank guns and later with motorized M-10 (75MM gun), M-36 (90 MM gun) and M-18 (76MM gun), the latter units being armored. The Battle of the Bulge was the swansong of the towed Tank Destroyer units with many of them overrun in the German surprise attack. The first battle where the towed guns had issues and high losses was at Mortain in Normandy. This helped the Army’s decision to adding the armored and more mobile tank destroyers to the war in Europe replacing the towed guns. As with many of the tank battalions of World War Two, tank destroyer battalions were assigned to armor and infantry divisions for fire support and anti-tank capability. The concept was first worked out in 1941 and the doctrine for the units certified in 1942. Prior to this towed 37 MM guns and M3 Half Tracks with 75MM guns mounted in the back were used in the Louisiana Maneuvers of 1941 and again in the Carolinas maneuvers later that year. The concept was proven and orders issued to raise 53 battalions of tank destroyers which was greatly expanded later.

The first combat use of tank destroyers was in North Africa in particular at El Guettar where the guns on the M3 halftracks helped stop the 10th Panzer Division albeit at considerable losses of units. As the M10, M36 and M18 armored tank destroyers began reaching the front the towed and halftrack mounted units converted to them. By the end of the war and the arrival of the M26 Pershing tank with heavier armor and a powerful 90MM gun, the curtain fell on the tank destroyer concept. That would be taken over by the tanks themselves – as they had been doing since 1942. In March 1943, the Tank Destroyer Force finally received a new branch insignia. This depicted the profile of a M-3 half-track mounting a 75-mm gun. Although only the version for left-side wear was authorized (M-3 facing to the right, or honorable, side), the insignia were occasionally worn in pairs; more rarely with the unit numbers added.

The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on September 22, 1942, and was created by the staff of General Andrew Bruce, its first commanding officer. The colors of the force were black and orange. Hence, the TD patch featured a powerful black panther crushing a tank in its jaws, all on an orange disk. The tank, which in the original version of the patch had eight bogie wheels, typified an American tank, not a German version. Insignia manufacturers had problems breaking numerous needles while completing all the bogie wheels, necessitating the four-wheel variation of the SSI, most common version. The 650th Tank Destroyer Battalion was formed in March 1943 at Camp Bowie, Texas. A year later it was deactivated and morphed into the 425th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. Thus, this flag had to have been made between 1943 and 1944. The guidon must have been made in the Tank Destroyer Branch colors. CONDITION: very good overall, one small hole in field, soiling, orange lettering light faded to gold/yellow. (02-1947327/JS). $300-400.

Allen Plummer II (American, 1857-1914), born in New Bedford, Mass. Circa early 1890s. This set of unique, incredible carved chairs were personally made by Plummer and took approx. 3 years to complete. Most are intricate and dated between 1890-1893. They were made for his family use and remained in the family. Plummer is best known for his extraordinary carved wood plaques of fish, some of which have attained prices of nearly $60,000. He originally studied engineering but in 1883 attended the Acadamie Julian in Paris. HIs great love and interest in fishing eventually led to his carvings and paintings depicting fish and wildlife. Plummer referred to his wood carvings of fish as “relief paintings” and exhibited at Doll & Richards Gallery in New York. He originally learned his craft for carving from a well known Scandinavian carver Karl von Rydingsvard. Each chair of quarter sawn oak in the Rococo taste, also categorized as “Fantasy Furniture”. 1) Chair depicting conjoined winged dragons centering a crest of a seated lion. 2) Chair carved with a pair of crocodiles with tails curling upwards at the center supporting the crest of a seated lion within their claw feet. 3) Carved with cherubs seated amongst dense flowering shrubs, a crest at the center with seated lion. 4-5) Each carved with a pair of Ibis or herons, one amongst cattails, the other amongst water plants.

1317. EXTRAORDINARY RUSTIC, ADIRONDACK CABIN FORM PINE

BARK CABINET CIRCA 1900. This truly unique example of rustic furniture dates to the turn of the 19th century and is unquestionably the finest example of such furniture that we have ever had the opportunity to handle over these many years in the business.

In the late 19th century rusticators became aware of the benefits and enjoyment of communing with nature in wilderness areas. Many of these rusticators in the later part of the 19th century began to frequent the Adirondack region, upper New England and Maine, particularly some of the most beautiful wilderness areas. Most rusticators were people of means and as such began to build magnificent cabins and lodges on bodies of water in remote regions. Some of these cabins were truly masterful with ornamental twig and root embellishments and other forms of naturalistic composition in their design. It was during this time that a great movement began for handmaking special rustic forms of furniture to furnish and decorate these magnificent lodges. Eventually much of the rustic or Adirondack type of furniture became commercially made mass produced such as old hickory furniture etc. In the late 20th and early 21st century a tremendous revival in Adirondack furniture began and a number of skilled craftsmen began to create fanciful pieces ornamented with birch bark, pine bark, twigs, carving etc. Some of these more contemporary pieces today bring extraordinary sums of money.

This two part cabinet is not a modern piece but was produced during the height of the rustic movement in the late 19th, early 20th century. It is unquestionably unique and entailed a significant amount of effort in the creation and productivity. The cabinet untouched and original condition (with the exception of replaced shelves in top). It is designed in the form of an Adirondack cabin replete with a roof shaped top, windows and gables. It was made and designed for potentially two purposes; one as a gun safe and is currently fitted with a rack on the upper portion to display and accommodate a number of firearms, but the upper portion can easily be converted to a bookcase by simply unscrewing the rack that would hold guns and insert three velvet lined covered shelves to utilize as a bookcase instead. The cabin form has a pitched roof and gable windows, but is entirely clad in pieces of pine bark. The upper section with the pitch roof and gable windows and has two full length glass doors which open to reveal the interior which as indicated can serve as a gun cabinet or bookcase. The lower portion consists of a full length drawer at top, a bank of three smaller drawers on the left and a bark clad door on the right that opens to reveal a shelved interior. This phenomenal piece is untouched and unaltered on the exterior and has an absolutely wonderful patina that has evolved over the years on the bark surface. The interior of the upper cabinet has been relined with green velvet and as indicated is fitted with a gun rack now which can be utilized or the gun rack can be removed and the three velvet lined shelves which accompany the cabinet can be utilized instead to make a bookcase.

This is truly a unique and wonderful original period piece of rustic furniture, the quality of which is almost never found today. SIZE: 82” h x 31” w x 16”

CONDITION: as described above, the overall surface

essentially untouched. The bark was varnished at the time it was made and there are a few pieces of bark where the varnish has worn off a little, to no detriment at all to the aesthetics. It is in absolutely outstanding condition. (05-95/JJ). $4,500-7,500.

1492. MASSIVE COLLECTION OF RAOUL CALABRIO HANDMADE COSTUME JEWELRY. Calabrio was from New York, Milan, and Sarasota, Florida. He was a designer of costume jewelry and bags, and his workmanship and creations are outstanding. This was all handmade by him. This lot consists of approx. 65 necklaces, approximately 65 sets of earrings and approximately 20 handmade belts. In addition to this is a large lot of quality jewelry parts for making jewelry which was part of Calabrio’s inventory. There are around 40–50 plastic bags filled with various parts and ornamentation for making more of this jewelry. In addition to all of this, numerous original consignment sheets showing what his jewelry sold for back in the late 1990s; it indicates the wholesale price and the retail price. According to the bill of sales back in the 1990s, his necklaces sold from anywhere from $50-150 each. His earrings sold from around $20 to $40+ each and his belts sold for $75 to $150+ each. Based on these prices, the jewelry alone less the parts, from the lowest sale price in each of the categories would result in around $6500 resale value but if you use the high end of the estimates then the total evaluation would be $14,200. This does not include the massive amount of jewelry parts that are also included in this lot. Rarely do you see his items advertised. The problem is Calabrio did not sign his pieces he identified himself only on the price tag so once the tag was removed, most people would never know who made it. Also included is a newspaper clipping of the Sarasota Herald Tribune some years back which ran a story on Calabrio together with images including him working in his shop. Calabrio was born in a small town in Italy and there he sold his goods in local villages. Some of his customers, according to the article, eventually included Richard Burton, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, designers like Dior, Armani, Versace, and numerous boutiques from Milan to Manhattan. According to the article, it goes on to say that he earned a reputation as one of the best internationally known accessories and jewelry designers. His label has been featured in Vogue, Women’s Wear Daily, and sold through Saks 5th Avenue, Neiman Marcus. His jewelry consists of all types of textures, shapes, colors and is in most cases very bold and extremely decorative and is all handmade.

Much of the jewelry still retains his original paper tags with his signature

“Raoul Calabrio, Milan & New York”. Frequently the tag will indicate what the item is as well as the asking price. The buyer will receive all the jewelry, all of the parts, the package of old bill of sales, and a copy of the news article on Calabrio.

1591. “THE ART COLLECTION FORMED BY THE LATE MRS. MARY J. MORGAN”. Circa 1886, American. We are offering this hardbound copy of the auction catalog for the collection of Mrs. Mary J. Morgan, sold at auction March 1886 at Chickering Hall and at the American Art Galleries of New York. The auction was under the management of the American Art Association. At the time of the auction this was the most notable auction sale in the history of auctions in the U.S. The auctioneer Thomas Kirby was instrumental in establishing this new company in 1883 with the goal to conduct honest auctions in New York with few to no reserves. The company was in business 1883 to 1923 and evolved into Parke Bernet Auctioneers which was eventually acquired by the international auction house Sothebys. Mary Jane Morgan (1823-1885) was the young widow of shipping mogul Charles Morgan. After his death she quietly began to collect all forms of fine art and was essentially unknown amongst the wealthy citizens of New York. The success of her estate sale propelled Kirby’s company to become the leader in the world for fine art. One of her paintings set a new world record for art at auction. Her record selling Chinese peach blow vase was the impetuous for the Mt. Washington Glass Company to develop a new line of peach blow glass. This was truly an important auction. This catalog has many hand written notations of prices for most. SIZE: 9 1/2” x 6”. CONDITION: very good with in use wear. (05482/TG). $200-400.
