surface. Mission Commander Gene Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt spent the next three days on the lunar surface. Commander Cernan placed a $20 United States ‘Double Eagle’ gold piece exposed on the lunar surface atop a boulder near the landing site and picked it up and returned it to Earth afterwards, where he gave it to a friend. That gold coin, along with documented provenance signed twice by Cernan, is included in a

Throughout this sale are strong selections of space and aviation related autographs, photos, patches badges

and stickers individually and in groups, ranging from a signed typewritten letter from Howard Hughes (Lot 17) to Deke Slayton’s hardhat from the Mercury era (Lot 88). You might want to check out the original badges worn for different missions by Kurt Debus, former German V-2 rocket scientist, who became ‘Father of the Kennedy Space Center.' You’ll find them listed with each mission.

Other hardware, flown and non-flown, as well as covers, photos and other interesting items make up the rest of this impressive space and aviation sale. The Apollo section is perhaps the largest with numerous items (some

Bidding Guidelines for Coins, Sports & Autographs ESTIMATES

COIN CATALOGS

In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot.You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot.You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates.You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72 hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service, lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.

The current editions of Whitman's Official Red Books for Coins (Yeoman) and Paper Money (Friedberg) along with the Krause Publications are used for valuation and identification purposes.

LIMITS You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specially desired lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.

'OR' BIDS You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

SPORTS CATALOGS The current editions of Krause’s Sports Collectors Digest’s Standard Catalogs, Tuff Stuff Monthly, PSA’s Sports Market Report, and Beckett publications are used for valuation purposes.

Shirley M. Fergerson Executive Secretary to Kurt Debus, Director of KSC Our featured consignor this auction is Shirley Fergerson who was the Executive Secretary to Kurt Debus from the mid 1950s until 1974, in the Office of the Director of Kennedy Space Center. She was regularly a topic for photos and articles in the local newspapers as an influential woman in the space program, and always received the highest praise from Debus for her job performance. She loved her job and was always amazed and excited at all the presidents and celebrities she would meet through her job. Fergerson left NASA in 1974, shortly before her boss’ retirement, to marry Ernest Farino and moved to Amarillo, TX. Together they worked at the Amarillo VA Medical Center and ran their own business, Farino Photography. On December 3, 1987, Shirley Fergerson, her husband and her daughter while on an African safari, were tragically killed in Rwanda along with nine other Americans when the plane they were in lost control and crashed into a mountain side.

Gil Griggs In Memoriam • March 2013 Gil Griggs, actor, entrepreneur, activist and founder of Signature House Autographs died March 13 after a brief battle with cancer. Although Gil spent many years on the business end of autographs, he cut his teeth in the entertainment world, on the other side of the pen. His wild and wooly background began in the early ‘60s when he worked in Hollywood as an actor in the “Red Skelton Show” television series. You may remember him as the cop who chased Skelton’s character “Freddie the Freeloader” from the park bench, or as the gambler who delighted in fleecing “Dead-eye Dick” in some 25 episodes of the popular variety show. Gil also appeared in the series “Play House 90” and General Electric Theatre,” as well as in many plays. During his stint with “Playhouse 90,” Gil had the pleasure of working with Hollywood notables Angela Lansbury, Hugh Griffith, Stephen Boyd, Boris Karloff and Dame Judith Andersen. Years later, following an attempt to keep his beloved Colts in Baltimore, Gil championed the new ball park in that city, speaking in front of a Congressional subcommittee on a new sports franchise. He followed this with a campaign for sheriff of Baltimore City. Yet he still found time to indulge his passion for history and – in particular – the American Civil War.

Gil Griggs (left) with Red Skelton

When Gil and his wife, Karen, married in 1991, they spent time looking for something they could do together. With the help of Jim and Pat Smith of Remember When Auctions, Gil and Karen immediately began to acquire and hone their knowledge of autographs and collectibles. They formed Signature House, which grew to be a recognized auction house in the field of autographs and related collectibles. Gil and Karen sold their business to Regency-Superior Auctions in April 2012, but continued to work with us, both as consultants and, Gil, as a consignment bird dog. His knowledge and enthusiasm for history and the entire field of autographs and documents will be missed greatly.

Very rare Graf Zeppelin game commemorating the Graf Zeppelin’s historic first Round-the-World Flight (the first by any airship) in August 1929, financed by William Randolph Hearst.

This game, titled ‘With Graf Zeppelin Around The World’, contains thick 3"x4" oversized cards, each with actual photographs from the world trip. Each card shows a photograph and has commentary. Examples are: the Graf Zeppelin flying above Los Angeles City Hall, photos of desolate Siberia and picturesque Japan taken from the airship, and various photos of the interior rooms of the airship.

One of the most important and desirable of all flight recovery covers, USS Lake Champlain unaddressed cover with mimeo­ graphed (as are all) 4-line cachet, franked with 4¢ Lincoln and tied with 5/5/61 Lake Champlain handstamp. Very fine and scarce. (1979 APS Cert #37590). Bonus reference lot: In 1975, space cover dealer Charles Riser plead guilty to mail fraud and was sentenced to 4 years probation. Charges and investigation stemmed from his creation and use of forged US Naval cancels, such as the USS John Pierce and other recovery vessels. Three of these Riser forged covers are indelibly marked on reverse, each has different cancellation and cachet, one 'signed' by Scott Walker (Commander of USS Lake Champlain). These forged covers are collectible in their own right. Fascinating article (photocopy) by Frank Hoak, 'U.S. Space Recovery Ship Cancels & Charles Riser' details circumstances of this story. Very fine group waiting to be exhibited. Ex-Captain Frank Hoak III, US Navy Retired.

Incredible framed presentation piece containing the personal $20 gold coin carried to the Moon's surface by Gene Cernan and placed on a lunar boulder by him for 3 days during his Apollo 17 mission. Plus four more objects included in display: Cernan signed photo, Cernan signed typed letter (TLS) and Apollo 17 mission patches(x2). Central to the lot is a lightly circulated $20 Double Eagle gold coin (date unknown), carried to the Moon by Cernan and placed atop a lunar boulder near the landing site. Lot also includes 23"x14" color photo taken by Cernan of Harrison Schmitt on Lunar surface, inscribed 'To Frank Jameson – with Respect & Love for a Man I'm Proud to call my Friend. Gene Cernan Apollo XVII Dec. 1972.' Also includes Dec. 3, 1981, typed signed letter (TLS) on Cernan Energy Corporation letterhead to Jameson, with the following text: 'Finally found the picture you had asked for several months ago – so many that I'm sure you don't even recall asking! Anyway, here it is. If you look just to the right of the top of the boulder you will see the place your (our!) $20 gold piece lived for three days. Sorry I missed out on your invitation to BAJA. Remember me next time. Remember my love to Eva. Sincerely, Gene.' Unique and wonderful keepsake of an object that not only flew, but laid on the lunar surface for 3 days during America's final manned mission! One of the holy grails of the Moon walkers. We have seen no other United States gold coins that have been on the surface of the Moon. Very fine.

ENGINE Lot 272: 1968-75 APOLLO SERVICE MODULE SPS ROCKET ENGINE WITH TWO SM HELIUM TANKS – ESTIMATE $750,000-1,000,000 A never before offered article of USA space history. An exceptional opportunity to own a genuine Apollo Service Module Service Propulsion System rocket engine (SPS) of the kind used to place an Apollo spacecraft into and out of lunar orbit, and for mid-course corrections between Earth and the Moon. With the rocket engine are two large Service Module helium tanks. SPS engines functioned flawlessly on all Apollo and Skylab missions, but none that were launched ever returned to Earth. This SPS engine was made by Aerojet-General Corp. in Sacramento, Calif, and according to the attached nameplate data, it was assembled on 5-11-64. The engine stands more than 5 feet in height, 4½ feet in width at the widest, and weighs close to 3,000 pounds. This engine produced a nominal thrust of 20,500 pounds using hydrazine as fuel, nitric oxide as the oxidizer and was capable of being stopped and restarted multiple times during a mission. The two, large Service Module helium tanks were positioned in a vertical tunnel above the SPS engine, and used to pressurize propellants, eliminating the need for a turbo pump. The spherical tanks are made from stainless steel and each measure 40 inches in diameter. Helium held in these tanks at a pressure of 3,600 psi, pressure-fed propellants to the SPS engine. Both were made by North American Aviation under contract number NAS 9-150 (stamped on both tanks) with manufacturing dates of 5-14-64 and 7-28-65 respectively. Since all flown SPS engines were jettisoned with the Service Module before re-entry, the few remaining now exist only in museums. We believe this to be the only engine of this type in private hands. (Subject to export permit if shipped outside the USA)

This is a chance to own a museum-quality piece of history from the Apollo moon program! Page 54

Described in ‘Russian Spacesuits’ by Abramov and Skoog (2003), ‘this semi-rigid spacesuit was a modification of the original ORLAN spacesuit (only 11 test/training suits developed) which was designed to support crew member EVA from the orbiting Moon space vehicle as part of the N1-L3 program. The original ORLAN suit type was never used in flight’. The Life Support System (LSS) was of regenerative type, including exchangeable components. According to ‘Russian Spacesuits’, power supply, radio communication & telemetry were via a 20m electric umbilical, which also served as safety tether. Suit has a further safety tether with snap hook. Only 27 test and training models and 7 flight models of the Orlan-D were made. This particular spacesuit was used for display & training and is missing its outer cover layer. This way, the Life Support inner components that made the suit functional are exposed for view. There is an engraved ‘Orlan-D’ on the inside lip of the backpack. Additionally, there is an accompanying green carrying bag for this suit. Museum quality, perfect for the finest space memorabilia collections. (800) 782-0066 • www.RegencySuperior.com

589 1963-71 NF-104A AEROSPACE TRAINER AR2-3 ROCKET ENGINE MODEL ................... PH $4000-6000

Handmade wooden model of a Rocketdyne AR2-3 rocket engine that was used in the three NF-104A class supersonic aerospace trainers that were made, to serve as a low cost alternative to the X-15 or X-20. The AR2-3 rocket was not the main engine, but was mounted directly below the horizontal stabilizer on the NF-104A and provided 6000 pounds of thrust for altitudes around 100,000 feet. Of the three aircraft that were made, one was destroyed in a test flight by Chuck Yeager and was subsequently made famous in the movie “The Right Stuff”. The model is expertly lathed and crafted in detail and measures 16" in length and 10" in height. It is mounted on a 22" long oval metal base and the model can be spun 360 degrees on its horizontal axis. A couple loose parts that can be easily glued back into position. A crack runs along the engine housing, but it may be just a crack in the paint. Also some cracks in a couple of the components. A small part missing on the underside that cannot be readily seen. Since this was hand crafted, there simply can’t be many more of these in existence, if any at all.

1965-66 EXTRAORDINARY GEMINI SPACECRAFT LOBBY DISPLAY MODEL ...................................................... PH $20,000-25,000

Magnificent and rare Gemini spacecraft lobby display model from Rocketdyne standing 4 feet in height on a 30"x30"x4" wooden base. The model is constructed in three stacked sections from heavy plastic with the ability to see the interior components. Featured exclusively in this model are the numerous spacecraft thrusters and their supply lines and tanks – the thrusters being manufactured by Rocketdyne – and indeed the name plate on the base reads Rocketdyne. The three sections are intact and no thrusters or tanks seem to be missing (but could be), but there are a couple loose cylindrical tanks and lines. The second section has been dropped at some time in the past and cracks are present on the bottom and up one side, as well as an approximately 3” triangular fragment missing on the bottom. All damage can be repaired. An exceptional period model from a major Gemini contractor and one you will probably never see again. NOJEX 2013 • Secaucus, New Jersey

c.1870 PORCELAIN COUNT BRUHL’S TAILOR ASTRIDE A GOAT (DRESDEN PORCELAIN) ... PH $750-1000

Museum quality 16" tall German porcelain piece, in manner of Meissen, was designed after an 18th century model by J.J. Kaendler’s classic work based on the story of Count Bruhl and the Tailor. Piece has exquisite detail and color depicting the tailor riding a goat. Both wearing spectacles showing how near-sighted they were. As the story goes, Count Bruhl (King Augustus III of Saxony’s chief administrator) was a man highly famed for his clothes. His tailor was very important to him. But the tailor overstepped the mark by asking for an invitation to dine at court, which was a lofty request, since the working class was not seen at such social events. However, the Count felt so grateful for the work his tailor had performed he decided to grant his tailor’s request and invited him to the banquet. But as a joke, the Count asked Kaendler to make a porcelain figure of the tailor that he could place on the table to fulfill the tailor’s dream. Upon arrival, the tailor found himself as brunt of the joke as he saw this satirical porcelain piece placed in the center of the room, with scissors and all, riding a near-sighted goat. The moral of the story, ‘Sometimes it is better to labor and not request a reward.’ There is a Dresden marking under glaze. Piece is in good condition with repair.

Mostly different titles, including near very fine ‘Cocomalt’ premium editions of ‘Buck Rogers in the 25th Century’ ($110+); ‘Captain Easy and Wash Tubbs’ (fine plus, $75); and ‘Moon Mullins and Kayo’ (very good, $30). Other titles include ‘Chester Gump,’ ‘Tailspin Tommy,’ ‘Tarzan’ and others. In addition, there’s a copy of ‘O’Shaughnessy’s Boy’ (1935, Lynn), a novelization of feature film starring Jackie Cooper, Spanky McFarland and Wallace Beery. Format similar to Big Little Book with text on left-hand pages and photos on right-hand pages. Scarce and collectible, but be aware of the poor ‘normal’ Big Little Book condition.

� WESTERN HISTORY 1939 PAWNEE BILL AUTOGRAPHED COWHIDE AWARD TO PHYLIS ISLEY (JENNIFER JONES) ............... PH $1500-2000

Truly one-of-a-kind bit of Western and Hollywood memorabilia, presented July 12, 1939, to Oklahoma native Phylis Isley, better known as Oscar-winner Jennifer Jones (1919-2009). Award, inducting her into the Pawnee Indian Tribe as ‘Red Star,’ is 27"x38" irregular cowhide hanging, with intricate woodburning ornamentation and inscription. Ironically, Award was presented for ‘distinguished accomplishments in the enter­ tainment world,’ yet at that time she had completed only one film (‘New Frontier,’ 1939), and was working on completing a second (‘Dick Tracy’s G-Men,’ 1939). More notably, the hide is autographed by ‘Pawnee Bill’ (Gordon Lillie), as ‘White Chief of the Pawnee,’ as well as an Otoe chief, Chief Henry Good Fox, Chief Frank Young Eagle and Walter Keyes, a Pawnee councilman. Isley (Jones) went on to star in 20 films, winning an Oscar for her role in ‘The Song of Bernadette’ (1943). Pawnee Bill was noted for his longtime career as a showman and his autograph is scarce. Piece was hung for many years in Isley’s father’s office in Dallas, Texas (he was involved with entertainment field as well). Cowhide still supple, with minimal wear near edges and one arrow stapled into place.

674

Close to 90 sketches, photos and other similar types of items that adorned the wall of famous Hollywood restaurant BROWN DERBY that ended its spectacular run in 1985. Although none of these are original artwork or autographs, they are fine reproductions authorized by The Brown Derby. One finds actors, with many academy award winners, political figures including President Franklin D Roosevelt, celebrities and others. Size varies from roughly 7½”x9½” to 13½”x12½”. Diners reveled in going from room to room in the Derby looking at all the photos & sketches of famous people who had eaten there. With the closing of both the Brown Derby (1929-85) & Chasons (1936-95), only Musso & Frank (established 1919) stands as an icon of the old Hollywood restaurants. True slice of entertainment history as well as Americana. Would make fantastic decoration for diner, movie house or den, or even for breaking down for resale. Overall fine, some light water or corner damage to some. Very much worth a look.

D 1893-1915 CHICAGO COLUMBIAN & OTHER EXPO TICKETS ............................................................... PH $600-800

Interesting exposition tickets accumulation. Mostly 1893 Chicago World’s Columbian with 30 general admission tickets including one set of 6 designs w/security punch, one sound set and a bunch of dupes, 2 Children’s Day tickets, 2 Manhattan Day (both with ticket and stub), and a Chicago Day (w/stub), plus 2 ticket envelopes (one Caxton, one Tarbel), a Koehler postcard, a 1901 Pan-American Buffalo Day ticket, a 1904 St. Louis Louisiana Purchase ‘Workman’s Weekly Pass,’ a 1915 Panama-Pacific San Francisco Day ticket, and a few other items. Very fine material.

Special multicolored advertising card promoting British fireworks entrepreneur James Pain’s highly popular Pompeian pyrodrama titled ‘Pain’s Last Days of Pompeii,’ which originated in England and later toured throughout the United States and Australia. The performances strung together athletic, musical and dance elements over a simple Vesuvian narrative familiar to all audiences. This production was presented regularly at Coney Island in New York from 1879-1914. Pain required a sizable down payment to bring the spectacle to a city, usually for a two week run. Civic authorities had to build a multi-acre venue with a large body of water, a long platform, and seating for approximately 10,000 viewers. Efficient public transportation was also critical. The actors, however, were secondary, and local performers trained by Pain’s staff played most roles. This particular card shows vivid waterfront conflagration. Show was to be held July 14, 1888, at the Fireworks Amphitheatre, ‘Union Ave. and Narrow Gauge R.R.’ First of these cards we’ve seen! Fine, with only minor chipping and corner rounding.

Lt. General Jose Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales (1845-96), second-in-command of Cuban Army of Inde­ pendence. Maceo was one of the most noteworthy guerrilla leaders in 19th century Latin America. Letter (ALS) 8vo, 2pps, each 5"x8", signed Antonio Maceo. Letter is written to Senor Hilario Cisneros in Spanish. Uniformly browned with light stains, reverse has been expertly strengthened with clear archival paper. Maceo had been in exile for 7 months after the end of the unsuccessful Ten Years War (1868-1878) when he wrote this letter. In 1895, Antonio and Jose defeated the Spaniards, but both were killed the following year in the struggle for Cuban independence. The death of Antonio, a great combat soldier (he had been wounded 26 times in combat) and cavalry commander, was hailed by the Spaniards as end of the War. Instead, Maceo’s death only strengthened the resolve of the revolutionaries. (University Archives LOA).

Seven letters, most in the same hand, signed on behalf of General Nelson A. Miles, William R. Shafter (‘Pecos Bill’) or others. Generally from Miles headquarters in Cuba to Cuban Generals (fighting Spain for independence). These dispatches are written as Spain is surrendering, so there are references to troop surrenders and movements. A number are to Calixto Garcia, leader of Cuban troops. One letter (the only one in a different hand) is from Garcia to the ‘Legacion de la Republica de Cuba’ in Washington, DC.

1796 BONE & WOOD WAR GAME: FRENCH REVOLUTION SIEGE OF LUXEMBOURG ........ PH $750-1000

Intricate handcrafted military game c.1796-1805, features French siege of Luxembourg in 1795. During the French Revolutionary War, the French surrounded and laid siege for 7 months to the fort at Luxembourg, known as the ‘Gibraltar of the North’. Game deliberately has uneven numbers of pieces for the two sides (24 for the French, 2 for the Habsburgs of Luxembourg), and the rules (included on a typed sheet of paper inside the game) are such that they keep the sides relatively even in advantage throughout play. Playing pieces hand carved bone (24 white pieces, 2 black pieces), and 10"x10" wood board with detailed military graphics. The thick board folds down the middle and houses the pieces inside, and locks with a functioning clasp. Wood board has some faults. Rare game is complete and in remarkably good condition for its age.

Alfred Dreyfus, French Army officer convicted of treason, served as symbol of anti-Semitism rampant in France. The 12-year controversy known as Dreyfus Affair began in 1894. Dreyfus was tried in secret, convicted of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island. In 1896 a note was found indicating that a Major Esterhazy was the spy. Esterhazy was put on trial in 1898 but acquitted. Dreyfus was tried and convicted a second time in 1899 but pardoned by French President Loubert. (University Archives LOA).

� SPAIN 1534 FRANCISCO PIZARRO ‘RUBRIC’ SIGNATURE .............................................................................................. PH $10,000-15,000

Pizarro’s signature, a rubric, written twice on 3¾”x2¾” paper removed from larger sheet. Place and date, ‘Jauja - 1534,’ ostensibly obtained from original document, was penned circa 19th century. Spectrographic analysis shows ink of signature differs from ink of the place/year notation. Composition of paper identifies it as the type of paper used in 16th-century Peru. Included for comparison is an unrelated 1574 Peruvian manuscript document penned on laid paper, granting power of attorney to sell slaves. Other than being produced with a laid pattern, both the 1534 and 1574 sheets of paper are similarly composed of linen rag and hemp fiber, commonly used in 16th century Peru. Spectrographic analysis reveals similarity between the papers. In April 1534, Pizarro established Jauja as Peru’s provisional capital, a year before he founded Lima. Pizarro’s rubric offered here was signed in Jauja in 1534. Historian J. Lockhart writes that Pizarro ‘never learned to sign his name, but by the early 1520s he began to make a rubric, and all known documents issued by him until his death contain that rubric’.

Titled ‘Pest in Russland’ (Pestilence in Russia: Bolshevism, it’s Leaders, Henchmen and Victims), published in 1922 in Munich, written by Alfred Rosenberg who was becoming the early Nazi movement’s chief ideologue for racial theory and the ‘Jewish Question’. The book is mainly political analysis of the recent Bolshevik victory and how Jews were vital to the takeover. However, the 47 pages of photographs are a treasure trove for early Soviet historians. Many early Baltic revolutionaries are pictured and named (and identified as Jews) as well as Lenin and Red Army group photos, plus many mass murder victim photographs (some quite graphic) which will remind one of future German atrocities. Some cover faults and toning, overall very good condition. Scarce early Nazi publication.

Total of 6 printed Propaganda items: (1) Set of 3 similar labels in black and red, each showing ‘Skull and Odal rune’. Each says ‘Jews out!’ in French and/or Dutch, so likely from Belgium. (2) Two labels from Germany indicating Jewish doctors only able to treat Jewish patients. Blue and yellow with Star of David and text, one measures 6x6½cm and other similar in size to modern return address label, both on gummed thin paper.

1933 LUTHER & NAZI EMBLEM PROPAGANDA POSTER ................................................................ PH $300-400

Very rare item from around 1942. In this board game, German soldiers undergo training in a step-by-step process. After being given orders, they see action in which a house is set ablaze, and they take a civilian prisoner with facial characteristics that would be identifiable to Germans as Jewish. Such caricature had already been used heavily by the Nazi regime for many years, and thus such imagery would be readily recognized by the German population, including youth. The depiction of this prisoner, including facial characteristics, is in strong contrast to that of all the other ‘Germans’ depicted in the game. The soldiers shown being rewarded for their act, by getting ‘vouchers’ and being given a ‘furlough’ pass by commanding officer. Game measures 13"x8". In excellent condition and incredibly scarce.

Poster inscribed ‘Hitler’s fight and Luther’s teaching provide are the best Defense for the German people’ (text rhymes in German), showing an black & white drawing of Luther with a red Nazi flag as background. Flower and cross symbol below comes from the Luther family arms. The Nazi Party was not above using one of the most famous Germans in its propaganda, 1933 being their year to come to power and Luther’s 450th birth anniversary. Measures about 9½” x 13" in simple black frame. Appears very fine.

Nice little lot associated with The Trent Affair. Includes 1851 signed autographed letter from James M. Mason and an 1844 signed auto­ graphed letter by John Slidell, along with a carte-de-viste of each, both taken from negatives by Brady and published by E. Anthony; and a page (approx­ imately 10½”x16") from the 11/30/61 ‘Harper’s Weekly’ with story ‘The Capture of the Rebel Commissioners to Europe’ and 4 engravings (Mason, Slidell, Commodore Wilkes and Mason & Slidell being placed on board the ‘San Jacinto’). On Nov 8, 1861, the ‘USS San Jacinto,’ commanded by Union Captain Charles Wilkes, intercepted the British mail packet ‘RMS Trent’ and removed 2 Confederate diplomats, James Mason and John Slidell. The envoys were bound for Great Britain and France to press the Confederacy’s case for diplomatic recognition in Europe. Great Britain considered the incident an insult to its neutrality. After a few weeks of tense negotiations and talk of war, the US government disavowed Wilkes’ actions, and the diplomats were released and allowed to travel to England. They were unsuccessful in their efforts to gain recognition from England or bring it into the war against the United States. Interesting and very fine group.

General Nelson A. Miles, in command of Fort Monroe, reports that ‘the prisoner “Davis” is feeling quite comfortable this morning...

Mr. Davis was shown into casemate No. 2...guards of soldiers being stationed in the cells numbered 1, 3, and 5, upon each side of them.

Fascinating piece of World War II history, a cribbage board (4½”x18"), which belonged to Capt. Howard D. ‘Ping’ Bode, commander of the ‘USS Oklahoma’ at the time she was sunk Dec 7, 1941, killing 429 crew members. Bode happened to be ashore when the attack occurred. After the sinking of the ‘Oklahoma’, Bode found himself assigned to the heavy cruiser ‘Chicago’. On the night of May 31, 1942, he was once again ashore when his ship was attacked, this time by midget submarines in Sydney harbor. On Aug 9, 1942, Bode steamed away from action at Savo Island, an action for which he was later investigated. He committed suicide April 19,1943. Bode graduated from Annapolis in 1911, 181st in a class of 193. He was known as “Ping” Bode, after a well-known major league baseball player (who spelled his name Bodie). ‘USS Oklahoma’ cribbage board has large machine gun bullet hole, with accompanying burns on front and ‘exit wound’ on reverse from Pearl Harbor attack. It was recovered from Bode’s cabin when ship was raised and salvaged in 1943.

Exceedingly rare autograph quotation signed ‘Donitz / 1 Mai 1945’ in German, 8¼”x11¾” fair copy on personal letterhead, datelined Aumuhle, March 22, 1978. Never folded. Also accompanied by two Typed Letters Signed ‘Karl Donitz’ and ‘Donitz,’ relating to item. Fine condition. On May 1, 1945, Donitz received a radio message from Berlin chancellery, signed by Goebbels and Bormann: ‘Fuhrer died yesterday, 1530 hours. In his will dated April 29 he appoints you as President of the Reich...’ Donitz hand wrote in part the following: ‘The Fuhrer has appointed me as his successor as proprietor and Head of State Supreme Command of the Armed Forces. Donitz May 1, 1945.’ Exactly one week later, on May 8, 1945, Fuhrer Donitz addressed the German people. He began, ‘When I addressed the German nation on May 1 telling it that Der Fuhrer had appointed me his successor, I said that my foremost task was to save the lives of the German people. In order to achieve this goal, I ordered the German High Command during the night of May 6-7 to sign the unconditional surrender for all fronts.’ To our knowledge, this is the only May 1, 1945, Order of the Day to the German Wehrmacht ever to be publicly offered.

Very scarce game made in France in late 1944 as France was being liberated. German Wehrmacht Army had been using the V-1 rocket against the Allies, including from French territory before being driven out of France. This 3"x4" game box de­ picts Hitler with his mouth open. Inscription on back of box states that the V-1 rocket is inside the box. This rocket-like wood piece was to be taken out of the box and then thrown from a distance towards Hitler’s mouth in order to silence him. The player who was able to lodge the bomb inside Hitler’s mouth won. Inscriptions on different sides of the box warn Hitler to stop his rhetoric and be silenced, including the statement ‘It is our turn to try our luck.’ Very good condition, especially for its age.

All 3 games were familiar to most Germans. Box measures 5"x9½”. Since virtually all such Wehr­ macht material was destroyed after the war, this set is truly scarce. 940

1942 THIRD REICH WEHRMACHT GAME: ‘AIR RAID SIREN!’ ............................................... PH $400-600

Rare 1942 board game titled ‘Air Raid Siren!,’ which shows response of German city dwellers to air raid. Citizenry awakens to siren warning of nighttime air raid. Game depicts what emergency provisions and tools must be on hand, how to put out fires, how to find an air raid shelter, how to conduct oneself inside a shelter and eventual return after air raid ends. Citizens are shown to be stoic, brave, helpful and orderly. Nazi soldiers are shown shooting down Allied aircraft. In 1942, the German public was getting used to Allied air raids and was beginning to get wary of stalled war effort of Nazi regime. Excellent condition, board only, with minor wear mostly near fold and at corners. Game measures 17"x14". 941

1942 WW11 GERMAN SOLDIER BOARD GAMES COLLECTION - EASTERN FRONT ..................... PH $400-600

Contains large number of different colorful wood playing pieces, and 8 games on 4 double-sided game boards. With detailed instructions, which state: ‘Published by the Wehrmacht High Command and commissioned by the Army Commander of the Eastern Lands (Front).’ Thus, meant for soldiers on the Eastern Front, the advance of which by 1942 had stalled in the Soviet Union. One of the 8 games is a very colorful game depicting a Nazi soldier on ‘furlough’ and having a great time, which must surely have resonated with the soldiers in the harsh and bleak environment of the Eastern (Russian) Front. Game boards open to 12"x12", box is 13"x7". In used but very good condition. 942

Attractive one page ALS (autographed letter signed) folded letter, entirely in Benton’s hand – a personal letter of recommendation to be hand carried to President Andrew Jackson by William Farrar, a midshipman and native of St. Louis.

Tape stain at upper blank edge, fine. President Jackson penned vertically along the left edge: ‘Allen - To be / sent back to him.’ He wrote 3 words into the postmark. ‘Allen’ was ostensibly the sender and most likely a government official as his letter was FREE-franked. In March 1817, Congress passed an act establishing the Territory of Alabama. Tuscumbia was surveyed and laid out as a city by Gen John Coffee who had fought under Gen Andrew Jackson in Battle of New Orleans and was his partner in land purchases. That same year, a battalion of United States soldiers arrived at Tuscumbia and began work of cutting out a new wagon road from Nashville, Tenn, to Columbus, Miss, called the Military Road. This was done under Jackson’s supervision and the point at which he crossed the Tennessee is now known as Jackson’s Landing. About this time, General Jackson purchased a large tract of land lying between the river and Tuscumbia.

Piece of bloodstained leather from President Kennedy’s limousine, measuring 1x1.5cm, encased in archival materials, double matted in 11"x14" black suede and gold, ready for framing. Very fine. After Kennedy’s assassination, the presi­ dential limousine was returned to White House garage. F. Vaughn Ferguson was in charge of the car, and supervised its maintenance and conducted ‘dry runs’ for presidential trips. He was not in Dallas Nov 22. After FBI thoroughly searched car for bullet fragments and other evidence, Vaughan spent time cleaning it in anticipation of Lyndon Johnson’s use for Kennedy’s funeral. When plan was abandoned, blood-stained leather upholstery was removed and the car was sent to a Cincinnati firm for refitting and security upgrade. Vaughan was able to retain sections of blood-stained leather and eventually sold them to collector Raleigh DeGeer Amyx. Two 3" square sections were sold at auction in 2004.
