The Spink Environment Commitment: Paper from Sustainable Forests and Clean Ink For centuries Spink and its employees have been preserving and curating collectable items.

We now wish to play a modest role in preserving our planet, as well as the heritage of collectables, so future generations may enjoy both.

We insist that our printers source all paper used in the production of Spink catalogues from FSC registered suppliers (for further information on the FSC standard please visit fsc.org) and use inks containing no hazardous ingredients. We have further requested that they become registered with the environmental standard ISO140001.

Spink recycle all ecological material used on our premises and we would encourage you to recycle your catalogue once you have finished with it.

The August 2012 Collector’s Series Sale

Terms and Conditions of Sale This is a public auction and mail-bid sale held by SPINK, who are licensed and bonded auctioneers.

SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium.

The placing of a bid constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale by the bidder.

The highest bidder acknowledged by SPINK shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, SPINK may, at its sole discretion, immediately put the lot up for sale again. SPINK’S decision shall be final and binding upon all bidders. A buyer’s premium equal to 20% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $2,000.00 and 15% of the excess bid price will be added to each invoice and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price.

All bids are to be per lot as numbered in this catalog. SPINK reserves the right to group two or more lots together and to withdraw, prior to call for bids, any lot(s) from the sale. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only, and SPINK reserves the right to reject any bid or advance the bidding at its discretion.

SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium.

SPINK may have made advances and loans available to certain consignors and bidders in the sale. SPINK reserves the right to bid on any lot in the sale. Additionally, SPINK may or may not have financial interest in any of the lot(s) in the sale.

All sales are strictly for cash, check and bank/wire transfer in United States dollars; however, SPINK will only accept cash payments under $10,000.00. SPINK offers clients the option of paying by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express only) in United States Dollars for a convenience charge of two percent (2%) for Visa and MasterCard and four percent (4%) for American Express, up to a total of $30,000.00. Credit card payments will only be accepted if (a) the purchase is made by the card holder, (b) any purchased items to be shipped are shipped to the cardholder’s verified billing address, (c) floor bidders present their credit cards and (d) all returns are governed by the terms and conditions of the sale. Payment is due and payable immediately upon receipt of the auction invoice or, if payment is to be made at the auction site, simultaneously with receipt of the purchased items. SPINK reserves the right to void a sale if payment in full of the invoice is not received by SPINK within fifteen (15) days of the date of invoice. A late charge in the amount of the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum lawful rate will be charged on the invoice total if payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. All lots are subject to applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate resale certificates are on file with SPINK. Shipping, handling and administration charges will be added to invoices for lots delivered by mail. All lots will be shipped via U.S. Express Mail to Post Office boxes, via Federal Express to street addresses, and FedEx ground for bulky large

lots (in the U.S. only). Purchases shipped via FedEx will not be covered by SPINK insurance in the event that the buyer has placed a “signature release” on file with FedEx. Buyer will be responsible for total purchase price in the event of loss.

SPINK cannot be and is not responsible for the loss of any merchandise shipped outside the United States and therefore insurance on any items to be shipped outside the United States is solely the responsibility of the buyer. It is also the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they are in his/her possession.

Risk of loss shall be borne by the buyer following shipment of the items and SPINK assumes no liability for merchandise lost, stolen or damaged while in the possession of a party to whom merchandise has been shipped. For international shipments, all duties/taxes/fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer.

In the event a successful bidder fails to pay the charges due, SPINK reserves the right to resell the merchandise and the buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale including a 10% seller’s commission, and also to pay any difference between the resale price and the winning price of his/her previously successful bid.

SPINK reserves the right to require payment in full before delivery of the merchandise to the buyer. Bidder personally guarantees payment, and if a corporation, an officer or principal in the corporation agrees to personally guarantee payment. Title to any purchased items remains with SPINK until all invoices are paid in full. SPINK reserves the right to await clearance of any check used for payment before delivery of any item and a $25.00 charge will be applied for any check that fails to clear.

SPINK reserves the right to refuse to honor or reject any bid which, in its opinion, is not submitted in good faith, or, as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory references, as SPINK in its sole discretion shall determine.

SPINK further reserves the right to ban any bidder from participation in its sales for any reason deemed appropriate in its sole discretion.

No minors may participate in any SPINK sales.

Bids will be executed for mail bidders at one advance over the next highest bid in competition with floor and/or internet bidders, until the maximum bid is executed for the mail bidder, or until the lot is sold. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. No additional commission (except for the buyer’s premium) is charged for executing mail bids. SPINK cannot and does not assume any responsibility for errors made in the amount bid or lot numbers listed, so check your bid sheet and online submission carefully. When identical mail bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received.

SPINK may reopen the bidding on a lot under the following circumstances: (a) SPINK has failed to execute correctly a mail bid; (b) A party purchasing the lot on the floor has done so in error; (c) Where a protest is made after the

hammer has fallen but before bidding has commenced on the next lot; (d) Where the auctioneer has determined that he/she has overlooked a party still bidding on the lot but before the calling of the next lot; and (e) At the discretion of the auctioneer. In the event of a dispute, the auctioneer’s decision shall be final.

Agents executing bids on behalf of clients will be held responsible for all purchases made on behalf of clients unless otherwise arranged prior to the sale.

The same protections applicable to SPINK shall apply to each officer, director and employee of SPINK unless such individual shall be convicted of knowingly and intentionally selling false or stolen goods.

The descriptions provided in the catalog are intended solely for the use of those bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding. All photographs in the catalog are as accurate as can be reproduced with today’s technology; however, they cannot be relied upon for exact reproduction of color. All bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of genuineness. It is presumed that all floor bidders have inspected the lots prior to bidding. Therefore, lots purchased by floor bidders are sold “AS IS” and may not be returned.

Floor Bidders include those bidders acting as agents for others. Additionally, SPINK reserves the right to describe items differently than the descriptions shown in the catalog should such items be consigned to any future auction.

All the lots are sold as genuine. For the purpose of this sale, “genuine” is defined as not faked or forged and SPINK will not knowingly sell any item that has been “repaired’, “restored”, “processed”, “cleaned”, “pressed” or “conserved” in any way without disclosure of such facts to the potential buyer.

The following conditions apply to requests for expertization of philatelic items: (a) Mail bidders are asked to advise SPINK of any extension requests at the time of placing their bids; (b) Floor bidders must advise SPINK of any extensions in writing at the time of lot settlement; (c) SPINK will submit all items so requested by successful bidders to the reputable authority of their choice; For United States stamps, the Philatelic Foundation and the Professional Stamp Experts are the accepted authorities. (d) Purchasers of items submitted for expertization must pay as part of the purchase price all charges for expertization, including postage and handling; (e) Purchasers of items to be expertized must make payment in full immediately upon purchase prior to expertizing; Refunds will be made promptly for all sums if in the unlikely event an item is returned with a negative opinion; (f) Requests for expertization of stamps with certificates dated within the last five (5) years of the sale date will not be granted; (g) No lot may be returned due to a certification service grading a stamp differently than the grade stated in the auction description; (h) No lot will be accepted as a return from expertization if the item is indelibly marked as being altered or fraudulent by the expertizing authority; and (i) No lot will be accepted as a return, for any reason whatsoever, including extension returns, after four (4) months from the sale date. Any exceptions to this time limitation must be agreed to in writing at SPINK sole discretion.

19. No lots may be returned without a written request by the successful bidder and the written approval of SPINK. In the unlikely event of returning a lot, SPINK must receive notification of the buyer’s intent within three (3) days of the buyer’s receipt of the lot. The following lots may not be returned for any reason whatsoever: (a) lots containing ten or more items; (b) lots described as having faults or defects because of the faults described or any others, including lots described as “repaired”, “corroded”, “holed”, “whizzed”, or similar damage, except for non-authenticity; (c) illustrated lots because of centering, margins, etc. or other factors shown in the illustrations; (d) lots described “AS IS”, including third party graded coins or banknotes (i.e. PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG); (e) lots valued primarily for the bullion content; (f) lots examined by postal viewers; and (g) any philatelic extension lot unless the conditions set forth in Item 18 above is complied with fully. Except for lots placed on extension, as per the conditions of Item 18 above, no lots may be returned for any reason whatsoever after thirty (30) days from sale date. Late payment for purchase may, at SPINK option, be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. If any disputes arise regarding payment, authenticity, or description between the bidder and SPINK, SPINK at its sole discretion, may submit the disputed matter to binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, to which the bidder, by placing a bid and hereby accepting these Terms and Conditions of Sale, agrees to be bound.

20. United States coins and currency will not, in conformity with the law, be opened at less than face value.

21. The auctioneer reserves the right to postpone the sale by auction for a reasonable period of time as a result of any significant event which, in the sole discretion of the auctioneer, makes it advisable to postpone the event. No prospective bidder or prospective buyer shall have recourse as a result of any postponement 22. In the event SPINK refers an invoice(s) to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay SPINK attorney’s fees, court costs, witness fees and other costs incurred by SPINK. 23.

No other CSA type has generated more controversy than the T-47 or T-48 notes. Typical comments include “FANTASY NOTE,” “Essay,” “bogus,” “contemporary test design, and enigmatic.” Grover Criswell considered them to be part of the 72-note Confederate type set, and many major collections included them as a result. George Tremmel lists them as “Fantasy Notes,” immediately following the Female Riding Deer notes in his section on Fantasy and Bonus notes. Pierre Fricke says “I don’t own nor am I seeking examples for my collection,” implying that he doesn’t believe they are regular issues.

This cataloguer leans toward Tremmel’s and Fricke’s points of view. The imprint at the bottom says “KEATINGS & BALL” instead of “KEATINGE & BALL.” (Counterfeiters somtimes do this to make it easy for them to identify their own work.) The signatures are printed, unlike any other regular issues of 1862. All of the notes are Plate N, and the top and bottom margins tend to be broad, indicating that they may have been printed from a single one-postion plate. Why are there 13 stars on the shield? The paper and printing quality don’t seem to match the regular issues. The controversy continues to swirl, but one thing is certain - in auction after auction collectors have voted with their dollars to establish that these “Essays” are very desirable notes, and certainly worthy of an honored place in any advanced CSA paper money collection.

The August 2012 Collector’s Series Sale

The Edward Gurley Collection of Confederate and Southern States Banknotes Edward Dewitt Gurley was born October 20, 1930 in Anson County, North Carolina. He grew up in Sunshine, NC, a small town in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains.

Ed developed a keen interest in the Civil War early in life after hearing stories of a distant relative who fought and survived the war. As soon as Ed finished high school, he enlisted in the navy and was stationed on the USS Boxer during the Korean War. When he finished his duty four years later, he worked on a cargo ship on the Great Lakes for six months before realizing that he needed an education. Ed went to school for 10 years to earn his BS at North Carolina State University and PhD at the University of Illinois. Dr. Gurley went on to have a long and rewarding career as an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University.

Over the years, many of Ed's summer breaks were spent visiting Civil War battlefields up and down the East Coast. His love for history and the Civil War led him to collecting Confederate money.

Ed was a collector. Although Ed’s collections ended up very large, he was striving for quality over quantity. He collected campaign buttons and cacti, but his true love was his Confederate money collection. He studied and learned everything he could about each bill - Ed could spend hours talking about all the details of his collection.

Late in life Ed lost a great deal of his short term memory, but he never lost his extensive knowledge and love for his Confederate money.

January 14, 2012 Ed passed away.

As a true collector to the end, Ed made it very clear that upon his death his Confederate money was to be sold. His wishes were that his collection be made available so others could collect and enjoy his bills as he did for so many years.

Every collector has his or her own personal point of view. Edward Gurley had a passion for collecting CSA and Southern States notes with real eye appeal. He was more concerned with the overall look of the notes than with their technical grades. He sought out crisp, fresh notes with original color. He looked for examples with full borders and full margins whenever possible, and anyone who collects Confederate notes knows that they are rarely found that way. Light folds or bends were acceptable, but he rejected paper money that showed signs of cleaning, pressing, stains, or repairs.

It is highly unlikely that you will ever see a collection like this again. Most fresh, original CSA or Southern States notes never make it to the auction block today. They are sold to eager buyers almost as soon as they become available.

Here is an unusual opportunity to acquire underrated “condition rarities” you just may never see again.

As the War progressed, the Confederate capital moved to Richmond, and the only avenue available for obtaining high quality bank notes was the Southern Bank Note Company, which was actually a New Orleans branch of the American Bank Note Company. Only 5,798 of these $100 notes were issued, and many of the survivors are tightly held. (photo) Est. 1,700-2,250

Southern Gentlemen’s Collection of Tennessee Obsoletes Important Sutler Issue – Garland Plate Note

421 TN. Exchange Bank of First Brigade East Tenn. Vols. 25¢. October 1, 1862. (Keller TNSA025; Garland 937). Blue, red protector with green back. Unissued remainder. Keller and Garland Plate Note. Printed on bond paper. The face is printed in all blue with block outlined red protector “XX V” across the center. Lower left, Union General (identified by Paul Garland as Brigadier General James S. Negley) in frame. In the right oval, Washington. Across the center, dogs chase an elk as copied from Jocelyn. Space for the Treasurer’s signature at the lower right. The back printed in green. Within an ornate cartouche the obligation: “Exchangeable at ¼ of 1 Pct. prem. for/U.S. Treasury Notes/When presented in sums of $5 at/Nashville, Tenn.” One of the most stunning Civil War/Sutler issues we have handled. The note was considered unique by Garland and was obtained from him in 1989.

Garland bought the note directly at the 1977 ANA Sale (bidder 990 for $260.00). A fabulous layout, color and title. This Union issue was a private bank for soldiers and officers.

A key piece of Tennessee scrip that should excite several specialists. Hard to evaluate, but bidding in excess of the high estimate will most likely be required. A tremendous opportunity. Fine Plus, minor foxing.

Pocket edition. The first year of the pocket edition and considering its age, nicely preserved with minor wear and soiling on the cover. The binding remains firm with all pages remaining attached.

Heath’s Infallible Counterfeit Detector, 1867, 2nd Edition - Banking & Counting House Edition.

Many of the interior pages are loose, but all are present and in good condition. Present engravings include that of Fractional currency, “Green Back”, National currency notes, as well as Canadian notes. A valuable book for the vignettes alone, but more interesting as a compilation of historical context. (photo) Est. 400-600

Scarce 50 Cent Spinner Type II Back.

Not on Shields, Not Sold in Specimen Sets.

Third Issue Fractional Currency Specimen. 50 Cents Spinner Type II Back. Fr.1339-SP. Narrow Margin Back. Printed on white bond paper. This is a key specimen, regardless of the width of the margins.

They were not used on shields or sold in specimen type sets. Perhaps 20 are known, and waiting for a flawless example could prove to be a fruitless endeavor. This scarce narrow margin Specimen has excellent paper quality with dramatic embossing. Three border frame lines are penciled on to the printed side.

On the blank side there are very light traces of age toning, and “76” appears in pencil near the center. All four corners show signs of moderate handling, perhaps as the result of moving in and out of corner mounts. The central portions show no evidence of folds. VF-EF, perhaps better. An elusive, and rarely offered trophy for the advanced collector of Fractional Currency. Ex. Henry Chapman. (photo) Est. 1,500-2,500

1873-CC 20 Dollars. NGC AU55. One of the tougher Type Two Carson City issues, existing 1873dated examples come from a paltry original mintage of 22,410 coins. Of the estimated surviving population around 500 coins, most are seen at the XF and AU grades, with examples at the Uncirculated level being very rare. The present example, lightly circulated, is well struck as the majority from the date are, with remnants of luster remaining around the protected areas.

As is often the case on these large gold issues, contact marks are present, but are certainly far from overwhelming - the most visible resides on Liberty’s neck (blends in well) and to the left of her neckline before star one. Most refreshing, and certainly bolstering the desirability, is the overall originality contained within.

The orange-golden surfaces are completely tamper-free and look as they would have when removed from circulation. For the specialist assembling a set by date, or just looking for a choice Carson City example for the grade, the current would be a prime target. (photoenlarged) Est. 10,000-12,000

Rarely Encountered Proof Gold Commemorative in Original Holder

1033 1033

1903 Jefferson - Louisiana Purchase Proof Gold Dollar in Original Presentation Holder.

When objectively looking at all U.S. Mint struck coins that remain in their original packaging, the present piece certainly has to be among the most exciting and important to remain extant.

Other candidates in a similar category include early proof sets in presentation sets like the multimillion dollar King of Siam set as well as the familiar Panama Pacific commemorative sets. In those instances however, the price points are often untouchable. And yet, when compared to non-unique presentations like the Panama Pacific sets, the present Jefferson gold dollar in its original presentation is certainly rarer. One of the first 100 issued of the type, it was struck in proof condition - the only proof strikes of the type. Just as the day it was issued, the coin remains sandwiched between a presentation certificate that reads, “THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE ACCOMPANYING LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION GOLD DOLLAR, STRUCK AT THE MINT OF THE UNITED STATES AT PHILADELPHIA IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN ACT OF CONGRESS APPROVED JUNE 28TH, 1902, IS ONE OF THE FIRST ONE HUNDRED IMPRESSIONS FROM THE JEFFERSON DIES.” The document is signed below

by Rhine R. Freed as Coiner and John H. Landis as Superintendent. The coin is further protected by wax paper that is held in place by string that is secured by the wax stamp of the Philadelphia Mint. Examples were distributed to “favored insiders” as well as officials of the government and the surrounding exposition. In another small miracle, the consignor, a descendant of the original owner, has maintained the coin’s provenance and has informed us that it was owned by railroad executive Samuel Spencer. A veteran of the Civil War of the Confederate side, Spencer went on to become President of six railroads before his untimely death in a train crash in 1906. Today, he is known as the Father of the Southern Railway System. As one can imagine, the existence of similar presented specimens is of the highest rarity. In fact, the only other Jefferson example this cataloger is aware of was held by the legendary Stack’s family for years and was subsequently sold several years ago. Known for their impeccable taste and great foresight, they resisted whatever urge there may have been to remove the coin from its translucent tomb to reveal its true beauty. Today, the coin’s whereabouts are unknown and the possibility of removal is very real. Realistically, several other examples likely remain hidden, but an existence of more than several would be truly surprising. Quality wise, there is little reason to assume the coin inside is anything other than pristinely preserved. Inspection under light does show shimmering where field mirrors exist as well as several coppery blushes, primarily on the reverse, where the copper and gold allow mixture was imperfect. In all, what is unquestionably preserved is one of the “coolest” items that any collector could hope to own - a rare item with an accompanying provenance in an even rarer state of original presentation.

MEDALS & TOKENS 1067 1067

1911 Chief Wah-She-Ha (Bacon Rind) Aluminum Indian Peace Medal and Correspondence. Uncirculated. 38mm - White Metal. By Edward Knox Elder. A scarce 20th century Indian Peace medal, the silver strikings originally being presented to chiefs of the Osage tribe in Pawnuskla, Oklahoma. Examples were also reportedly struck in copper (15) and the present type - aluminum (400). The surfaces of the current example are lightly hairlined on the obverse with reflectivity remaining on both sides. Perhaps as exciting as the medal offering is the accompanying correspondence between two numismatic luminaries on the subject - Henry Chapman and Thomas Elder.

In a letter dated February 24, 1924, Elder writes to Chapman on his letterhead saying that if Chapman is dissatisfied with the medal, Elder would be happy to purchase it for an amount of $3. The letter also addresses, and possibly updates, the mintage figures for the silver specimens. Popularly thought to have been struck in a quantity of only 5, the letter mentions a production of 15 in silver - 12 of which were given to Indians. An additional flip that reads “Indian Chief silver medal made in 1911 - very few struck - $20” leads us to believe this white metal specimen later joined the correspondence in place of a silver one.

Nonetheless, a very interesting and numismatically important grouping. Ex. Henry Chapman.

A Treasure Trove of Items Relating to General George Armstrong Custer A young lady walked into our offices on West 57th Street in New York. She placed a shoe box on the table and she said that the contents of the box all related to George Armstrong Custer, the Civil War hero and legendary Indian fighter who died in the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

She opened the box and began showing me the contents.

Two things became crystal clear - she understood the significance of each item, and she was knowledgeable and passionate about the life and times of General Custer and his wife, “Libbie.”

The box contained checks, drafts, military orders, and the Custer’s personal account book. There were several stamped envelopes that had previously contained personal correspondence sent from the General to his wife and from her to him.

She showed me a letter written entirely in the General’s hand.

The last items to come out of the box were some medals and badges. She picked up the final object, placed it in my hand, and said “This just may be Libbie Custer’s own Michigan 7th Cavalry Regimental badge, given to her by the General himself.

Libbie Custer describes it in her book, Tenting on the Plains, and she is seen wearing it in several photographs.”

My instincts told me that this could well be a very significant item, but was it really what she thought it might be?

I had to ask the question that was on my mind from the moment the box was opened –“How did you come into possession of these items?”

What follows is a condensed version of what she told me: “Elizabeth Bacon Custer long outlived her husband, General George Armstrong Custer. She made her primary residence at 71 Park Avenue in New York City. Elizabeth and the General had no children, and the majority of her family resided in or around Monroe, Michigan, save for a niece in Brooklyn.

As was customary back in that time, Ms. Custer had a personal assistant (referred to frequently in news articles and other writings as a “companion” or a maid) named Margaret Flood. Margaret lived with Elizabeth until Elizabeth’s death at age 91 in 1933. When she originally began working for Elizabeth, Margaret was single and I'm sure her maiden name is somewhere in all of the notes and letters I have. However, she later married and her husband, Patrick Flood, moved in with them. I have a letter from Mrs. Custer to Patrick, asking what his intentions are for Margaret.

Margaret and Elizabeth were extremely close, as evidenced by the many pieces of personal correspondence I have. Most helpful are the letters Elizabeth wrote to Margaret while she was down in Daytona, Florida for a short period, recuperating from an illness.

www.Spink.com

Margaret was left a number of things upon Elizabeth's death, though I would assume they were nothing thought to be of particular value, at least at the time. I have a letter from an attorney to Margaret which does identify that this occurred. I do know Elizabeth donated General Custer’s items of significance to West Point, such as his medal of honor, his sword, etc. She also donated other items, such as a desk, to the Custer Museum.

Elizabeth published the many letters she received from General Custer during wartime. The book, “The Custer Story: The Life and Intimate Letters of General George A. Custer and His Wife Elizabeth,” was written by Margeurite Merington at Elizabeth’s urging. It took many years and was finally completed in 1950. The whereabouts of the original letters are unknown. However, the envelopes, along with notebooks, stamps, and photos, were stored in a large cardboard box that ended up in the house in Brooklyn with Margaret and Patrick.

Many of the envelopes have Margaret Flood’s handwriting on them; I would assume she helped Merington over the years in sorting through the letters. Likewise, as Merington completed the book in 1950, many years after Elizabeth's passing, it seems likely that she would have returned them to Margaret and Patrick. Elizabeth had no heirs, Margaret was still alive, and she was like family to Elizabeth.

Similar to the Custers, Margaret and Patrick Flood also had no children. However, Margaret did have a niece - her sister’s daughter, Mary - who moved into the Brooklyn house to care

August 22-23, 2012 - New York, NY

for them as they grew old. When the Floods died, they left their house and its contents to Mary, who lived there for the rest of her life. She also had no children.

My family came to know Mary many years ago when I was a young child. She was the aunt by marriage of a family friend. I came to know her as “Aunt Mary” while I was growing up, though she was of no blood relation to me. My parents remained close to Aunt Mary and saw her as regularly as if she were related to us.

As Aunt Mary advanced in age, my mother visited her more frequently. On one of many visits in the mid 2000s, Aunt Mary gave my mother the box containing the envelopes and a box of Elizabeth Custer's personal effects. (She thought I would be interested in the envelopes and stamps because I liked "old things"). In a smaller box were some old war medals. Nothing terribly exciting, at least to any of us. These boxes had sat in her hall closet for many years and I guess Aunt Mary no longer wanted them. In fact, the box containing the envelopes had long ago suffered water damage; I still have it in all its glory, as I stored its contents in it for the many years since.

Mary gave us the boxes before she passed away in 2007. My mother was appointed by Aunt Mary's will as her executor, and she settled Mary's affairs as Aunt Mary had directed her to, including the sale of the house. I was given a box of “old things” and my mother was given a box of personal effects by my “Aunt” who was of no relation to me by blood but was as close as family. My parents cared for her in her elder years, just as she had cared for her elderly aunt and uncle - who just happened to be the caretakers of Elizabeth Custer in her elder years. In a way, the envelopes are of most interest to me, as the letters they once contained showed the devotion of a man to his wife, and they were passed along in a chain of caring over the years.”

As you will see, further investigation by noted Custer Badge authority John Beckendorf confirmed that the gold and pearl badge from the box was Libbie Custer’s personal Michigan 7th Cavalry Regimental badge, and that the MOLLUS Medal was General Custer’s.

Don’t miss this very important opportunity to obtain some of the most important Custer items to ever be publicly offered.

August 22-23, 2012 - New York, NY

I own one of the very few known badges. The badge that I have was authorized for Captain Nelson C. Thomas of the 6th Michigan Cavalry (Thomas Badge). It allows for a comparison to be made with the Libbie Custer Badge, which the General had made as a gift for his wife.

During the Civil War, the Medal of Honor was the only Congress-authorized medal of distinction for soldiers. As such, acts of bravery and valor that were not recognized by the Medal of Honor often went unrecognized. As a resolution to this, numerous privately produced medals were made - among these were the Kearny medal and cross, the Gillmore medal, and the Butler medal. The Custer medal is another among these, financed entirely by George Armstrong Custer.

About mid-1864 Custer sent a design for the Custer Badge to Tiffany & Co. with instructions that these badges be crafted for individuals in the Michigan Brigade upon his specific authorization. The earliest known letter of authorization dates 15 October 1864. Numerous badges are known to have been made by Tiffany, but given that the whereabouts of Tiffany’s original production records are unknown, the exact amount, and to whom they were awarded, remains a mystery. The recorded production cost for the soldier badge was $27, quite a sum for a privately funded medal, especially given Custer’s relatively modest wealth. Given the cost, the fact that they were privately funded, and their issuance near the end of the war suggest very few were made and helps explain their rarity.

A number of photographs taken between 1865 and 1866 exist of General George Armstrong Custer and his wife Libbie Bacon Custer wherein they are wearing their “Custer Badges”. It may be seen in these photographs that Libbie’s badge is noticeably smaller than the General’s badge, which is a regulation badge of the pattern authorized for the officers of his Brigade. For example, the Libby Badge measures 15mm across the bottom vertical bar of the Maltese Cross, with the Cross being 20mm wide. This is quite a bit smaller than the same measurements of Thomas Badge. The Libbie Badge is also .5mm thicker than the Thomas Badge due to the incise carving and setting of freshwater seed pearls necessitating a slightly thicker platform.

Libbie’s badge had been lost to history for over 140 years. It does not show up in any known photographs after 1866. Noted Custer scholar Dr. Lawrence Frost, who never saw an original Custer Badge, theorized that Libbie’s badge had been destroyed in the fire in the Custer’s home at Fort Lincoln, NE in 1873. Others theorize that it could have gone missing following an 1884 fire and robbery at her New York apartment. The whereabouts of Custer’s original badge remains unknown.

However, Libbie reproduced her Custer Badge on the cover of her book “Tenting on the Plains” published in 1887. This image shows the differences in design between her badge and that of the officers of the Michigan Brigade; i.e. the curved arch of the blue enameling with the name “Custer” and a series of circles on the Maltese Cross and General’s Star.

A key, previously unpublished photograph sold at auction on 10 June 2011. This image provides the clearest resolution of Libbie’s badge. On high magnification, the circles depicted on the “Tenting on the Plains” badge resolve themselves into pearls. It also appears that there is a ribbon, folded over with crossed cavalry sabers, as was standard with the Michigan Brigade badges, including the Thomas Badge.

There are many other Custer items of importance in this auction, which taken together add volume to the provenance. However, the single most important other item is the MOLLUS Badge being offered for sale.

MOLLUS stands for Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. It was a post war society limited to officers who had served during the war. Nearly all of the officers of importance were members. They each had a membership number and were presented with Badges and Certificates of Membership, both reflecting this number. This number appears on the metal clasp joining the medal with the ribbon. The MOLLUS Badge being offered in this auction, coming from the same consignor as the Libbie Badge, is number “1641” A check of “Union Blue” by Robert G. Carroon and Dana B. Shoaf provides the name of the member holding this number … none other than George Armstrong Custer. This is his MOLLUS Badge.

The badge is gold. Its hand workmanship is Tiffany quality. It meets the size analysis with a regular Custer Badge in conformance to known photographic images. It is identical with that on Libbie’s book “Tenting on the Plains”. The overall provenance is excellent. Finding Custer’s MOLLUS Badge is the final detail in the proof.

It is my belief that Libbie Custer Custer’s Badge, a present to her from her husband has been rediscovered.

It is a historical treasure and emblematic of the love that the General felt for her and the esteem in which she was held by the officers of the Michigan Brigade of Cavalry.

It’s reemergence after over 140 years is truly incredible. The reasons behind its lofty significance are truly numerous. Firstly, it is emblematic of the love that the General felt for her and the esteem in which she was held by the officers of the Michigan Brigade of Cavalry. It also was clearly a piece that was adored by Libbie herself as numerous photographs show her prominent display of this item and a reproduced image sits on the cover of her book. Most importantly however, the Libbie Custer badge is unique in its presentation. Given the unknown whereabouts of the General’s own medal, its existence, at least at current, speaks for both of them. All considered, it is a historic treasure fully worthy of prominent museum presentation or the finest private Civil War collection - a remarkable opportunity nearly 150 years in the making. (photo)

1865 George Armstrong Custer’s Personal Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States Badge. 5.5gms - gold, enamel and ribbon. 31mm across/31mm high/4mm thick. By: Unknown maker. Obv: American eagle at center with olive branch in left talon and arrows in right, red enamel surrounding with underlying pebbling; surrounded by outer circle that reads - LEX REGIT (law rules) / ARMA TUENTUR (arms defend); outer cross formed by gold inlaid with inner white enamel and outer blue enamel; three golden rays reside in the angles. Rev: Capped fasces at center with crossed swords below that intersect a half wreath, 13 stars above, red enamel surrounds as on obverse; outer golden ring reads - M • O • LOYAL LEGION U.S. / MDCCCLXV; outer cross as obverse. Loop: Hand Engraved - 1641. Ribbon: Tri-colored silk with broad 17mm center red stripe and thinner 4mm outer white and blue stripes.

Founded directly following the Confederate surrender in April of 1865 and the assassination of President Lincoln shortly thereafter, by-laws and a constitution were drafted to form the Military Order of Loyal Legions of the United States (MOLLUS). Much like the Society of the Cincinnati that was formed after the American Revolution, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States was formed as a veteran society largely founded to help promote patriotism, to strengthen bonds, to promote the military sciences, to relieve veterans in need and support current military membership. Perhaps unspoken of this society was a military-like structure that would return veterans to duty if crisis (as appeared possible) were to arise. Military membership was vast and included Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, George B. McClellan, Winfield Scott, George Meade, Philip Sheridan, David Farragut and of course George Armstrong Custer. Ceremonial invitees include six Presidents: Hayes, Arthur, Grant, Harrison and McKinley as well as notable civilians: Salmon P. Chase, William H. Seward and Edwin Staton. The organization remains in existence today and is composed of four tiers - Hereditary, Junior, Associate and Honorary.

Legion members, including George Custer, were each given certificates of membership as well as badges that carried unique membership numbers. As documented in “Union Blue”

by Robert G. Carroon and Dana B. Shoaf, Custer was given number 1641 - matching the present badge and confirming his one-time ownership.

The badge is set in highly alloyed gold with areas of surrounding blue, white, and red enamel. Because of the copper alloying, several toning spots are noted, particularly around the legends and loop. The enameling is original and complete. The ribbon shows small age toning, but is unfrayed and original. Overall, a superbly preserved piece.

The importance behind the reappearance of such a personal relic after nearly a century and a half in hiding cannot be underestimated. Very few items, especially those in public hands, can be traced so closely to Custer’s personal ownership. Further, very few medals or decorations of any kind are known to exist, including his favorite “Custer” medal that he is often seen wearing in period photographs. That leaves the present medal as one of Custers’ most important military artifacts - a museum piece to say the least. (photo)

The Army of the Potomac, created in 1861, was the major Union Army in the Eastern Theater during the Civil War. Major battles participated in by this army include the First Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg and Appomattox.

After the war had ended, the popularity of veterans’ organization was undeniable - and from that popularity sprang the Military Society of the Army of the Potomac (SAOP).

Founded in New York on July 5th 1869, the society was formed by Philip H. Sheridan who would also serve as its first President. Stipulations for inclusion in this exclusive society were twofold - all members must have served as former officers in the Army of the Potomac and the applicants must have had prior service in any unit of any campaign in which the Army of the Potomac participated. Society goals were numerous, but its primary focus was to keep the memory of battle alive, promote veteran welfare and to maintain relationships.

The elite nature of the SOAP would attract many notables as members. Included were Major-General George B. McClellan and Major-General George Gordon Meade. As a friend of General Sheridans, Custer was a natural fit for this society. Of the 72 engagements between April 27, 1863 and April 9, 1865, Custer was there for many of them. In his own words, “It was my fortune - I may term it my good fortune - to have been associated with the Army of the Potomac under its various commanders, from the date of its organization to that of its disbandment. From Bull Run to Appomattox I participated in all the battles except that of Frederickburg, and in most of the important minor engagements and skirmishes....I served on the staffs of General Kearny, (Baldy) Smith, Sumner, McClellan, and Pleasonton... and, ...we of the Army of the Potomac, ever proud of the record of that army, will guard with jealous care the history of its fame...”

Further solidifying Custer’s appreciation for the memory of the Army of the Potomac, a formal picture taken just prior to Little Big Horn illustrates Custer in uniform wearing only his Society of the Army of the Potomac Badge.

Condition-wise, the present badge, more-so than some of the other’s displays what one might consider typical wear. A small enamel chip is noted on one of the rays and several cracks are also visible with magnification - none being of great significance. The ribbon is aged with slight yellowing to the white silk with some central fraying. As mentioned in the item detailing above, the crossing swords that would have been originally issued to aid suspension from an outfit are now missing.

While badges from the SAOP weren’t issued with engravings that indentify the recipient, thus making absolute indentification difficult, we have every reason to believe from the accompanying archive, that the present is in fact George Custer’s personal badge. While a post-war issuance; it remains extremely significant because of Custer’s personal affection for the group as well as the restrictive terms of entrance into the society that would have limited an adundance of similar badges. As such, yet another item of immense historical importance. (photo)

ND (1865) George Custer’s Cavalry Division Badge Issued to Benjamin B. Tuttle.

10.07gms - silver shell, bar and ribbon. 38mm across/42mm high/2mm thick. By: Hunt & Co. Design: Inside inner circle, leftward facing bust of Custer with name above, wreath around, five points radiate from circle with spurs and boots in angles, flags with crosses swords at left and right with large set of crossed swords at top. Crossbar: Hand engraved “Capt. B.B. Tuttle Co. D. 1. C. C. V.” with flourishes.

The Union’s Custer Cavalry Badge was adopted by General Custer and issued to Captain Benjamin B. Tuttle of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Tuttle entered the Army as part of the Connecticut 1st Cavalry in November of 1861, eventually rising to the rank of Captain of the “D” company on February 2, 1865 and mustering out in August 1865. The crossbar, attached at the top of the ribbon with pin back, references the Captain rank, thus dating the piece towards the end of his duty. According to a period advertisement of the medal, red ribbons, as was used on the present, were given to the 1st Brigade with white being second and blue being third.

Like examples are certainly rare, as the last traceable example to reach public auction was sold as part of the John J. Ford Collection, Part VII in January 2005. That example, incomplete, was missing the original ribbon and bar that identified ownership - a pin had also been added on back to allow for presentation without ribbon. Close inspection reveals a subtle difference in the two medals - the Ford specimen having a “3” on both flags that flank the central design while the present has crossed swords.

The Tuttle badge has acquired a deep olive-gray patina with a minuscule tick here and there of little visual consequence. Two tiny stems are originally present at the bottom of the medal, one appearing to having broken off at one time. The silk red ribbon remains exceptionally fresh with bright color and a tight weave. Lastly, the engraved silver pinback flourish bar is toned at the edges with brilliance at the centers where the name engraving is encoutered. A minor bend is noted. Certainly a significant offering, both because of its relation to Custer and its direct attachment to a Union soldier. While the connection remains unknown, the inclusion of this medal alongside several of Custer’s personal affects is intriquing and could spur further reasearch into a closer linkage between the two.

1854 British Crimean War Service Medal. 40.26gms - silver and ribbon. 36mm. By: W. Wyon (British maker). Obv: Leftward facing crowned Victoria. Rev: Allegorical fame crowning soldier with laurel wreath; Crimea in left field. Ribbon: Light blue in center with thin yellow stripe at edge. Ribbon Bar: Sebastopol. Lightly polished, but remaining nearly fully detailed and retoned nicely. The original ribbon remains attached and aside from being moderately soiled remains in fine condition. Unmarked on the edge, thus withholding name of awardee. Overall, a charming example from this well-known conflict against the Russian Empire. A medal that raises more questions than it provides answers as it is part of an archive that was personally owned by General George Custer, but the reason for this particular medal’s inclusion remains a mystery.

While speculatory, a possible reason behind the inclusion of this medal alongside Custer’s personal medals can be tied to General McClellan. During the Crimean War, the Army sent McClellan between 1853 and 1856 as an observer. During that time, he reported largely on the siege operations around Sevastopol. This work may have very well garnered him a medal of observation (differentiated from the other medals by the lack of edge engraving). Later in his military career, McClellan served as a mentor for Custer - their mutual fondness being well documented. It’s this affinity that leaves open the possibility that McClellan may have gifted the observers Crimean medal to Custer at some point, perhaps at his passing. (photo)

Lightly worn with brassy color on the highpoints and silver-colored fields. Suspension bar for ribbon has been bent.

The original ribbon shows in a somewhat tattered shape with three bars and the original pin for suspension is missing. A scarce medal when signed by E. Falot and while not awarded to a particular soldier (as is typical of this type), the fact that is medal accompanies the General Custer-owned pieces, and may have some personal connection, makes it particularly intriguing.

The General’s Personal Ledger 1077

Custer, George Armstrong Legendary American cavalry officer (1839-76); his daring exploits during the US Civil War, including important service at Gettysburg and Appomattox, led to his quick rise to a brevet rank of major general; after the war, became one of the army’s primary Indian fighters; in June of 1876 at the Little Bighorn River in Montana, he and just 210 troopers battled a Native American force at least ten times as large and were completely annihilated; the legend of his “last stand” against overwhelming odds, popularized by his widow, has made him a household name even today. \nUnique and fascinating Autograph Ledger Signed twice, “G.A. Custer/Lt Col 7th Cavalry/U.S.A./Dec 8th/70” on free front endpaper, and “G.A. Custer” on page 75, 89 pages (only seven used), 8vo, red leather with gilt title. The ledger concerns three accounts: one regarding a Captain Kimball (on pages 24-25), one for his household servant Mary Crutchfield (pages 74-75), and, most interestingly, one for money spent on racehorses. For the Kimball account, he records on January 6, 1871, that he has “Rec’d by mail draft on Kansas city bank for $400.00,” and on the same day has “Rec’d per mail from Capt Kimball rect to be signed jointly and returned to County treasurer of Lyon County for Americus lot appropriated by RR for depot purposes. $20,” with the additional note that it is “To be placed to our credit on tax acct.” Custer and Capt Amos Kimball had purchased land in Kansas during the previous year, including the part in the town of Americus. For Mary Crutchfield, Custer lists “Monthly wages from May 18th 1870 to Dec 18th/70 at $20.00 per mo - $140.00.” Subtracting $8 in goods and $10 in cash, he lists “$122.00/Paid this 9th day of Dec 1870 to Mary Crutchfield...in full” and signs below. The most intriguing entries, on pages 50-52, have the heading “Horses” and are written out much more carefully (and in a purple ink). Custer writes that on May 23, 1871, he “Bought of Enoch Lewis near Lexington Ky, one brown colt yearling, by Ericsson, dam Mollie Eagle, She by Cavanaughs Grey Eagle, 2nd dam by Massena’s Whip for $1000.00...Colt trotted ¼ mile...” Custer arranges to pay for the colt at $10 per month.

On May 19, he “Bought of J.Y. Jones for self “&” RC Barker, equally, one bl 3 yr old colt by Ashland Chief, he by Mam. Ch. 1st d by Imp Yorkshire, 2d d Imp. Flounce...out of a Capt Walker mare, she out of a mare supposed to be thoroughbred for Five Thousand dollars. Colt placed in hands of Lowell from May 19th to Oct 21st...” A third entry is for $2,500 spent in October 1872 for a four-year-old bay “Bought of Headley & Stanhope...by Imported Bonnie Scotland out of Ada Cheatham, she by Lexington out of Cottage Girl...” listing the horse’s performances as the “Best on record in the United States” with race times of “1¼ miles in 2:9½/1¾ miles in 3:7/3 miles in 5:29¾...” Some edge rubbing and surface scratching to wraps, toning to extremities, but VG/F. Much later pen note at top of signed endpaper. To put Col Custer’s spending into perspective, $5000 in 1871 would have the purchasing power of $95,000 today! (photo)

Custer, George Armstrong Choice trio of war-date Autograph Envelopes, all 1864, and all addressed to Elizabeth Bacon, first as his sweetheart and later as his wife. The first, from Washington, DC, January 9, 1864, is to “Miss Lizzie Bacon/Monroe/Mich,” written one month to the day before the couple was married. The second, from Washington, May 1, 1864, shortly before Custer took part in the Overland Campaign, now addresses Libby as “Mrs Genl Custer” on Pennsylvania Avenue in the same city. The third, on an envelope imprinted “Headquarters Third Division, Cavalry Corps./Official Business,” is from Martinsburg, WV, on October 14 - just days before Custer led his cavalry under Gen Philip Sheridan at the Battle of Cedar Creek! - to “Mrs Genl Custer” on Penn Avenue. This latter pair is thus signed in effect by General Custer while preparing for some of the most challenging days of his Civil War service. All are in VG condition. George Armstrong Custer fell in love with Libbie Bacon when they first met in late 1862, and began to woo her immediately. However, her father did not approve of the brash young cavalry officer and forbade the pair to see each other. Custer’s success on the battlefield finally won Mr. Bacon’s approval, and George and Libby were married on February 9, 1864. Pretty and highly intelligent, Elizabeth Custer proved to be a devoted wife. After her husband’s death at Little Bighorn, she told his story in a series of books and lectures that established him as a legendary figure in the winning of the West. [3] (photo)

Sheridan and Custer were victorious in the battle, after which the Union would have the upper hand in the Shenandoah Valley, ultimately erasing the threat posed by Early’s forces. (photo)

At the close of the Civil War, Custer’s brevet rank of major general reverted to his regular rank of captain in the United States Army. He was subsequently promoted to lieutenant colonel, but no longer had the right to refer to his brevet, which may have rankled Brigadier General Terry, whose regular rank would have been below Custer’s claimed brevet (or temporary) rank. It may have further annoyed Terry that Custer’s promotion to lieutenant colonel was widely considered a political reward for his support of President Andrew Johnson. (photo)

III: The order of the wickets is as follows. Leaving the starting post players will take the 1st wicket, then the middle wicket from left to right, then the three wickets on the right of the table in their proper order. Then the middle wicket from right to left...If in passing through a wicket a player strikes another ball with the one they are playing, after the latter has passed the wicket they can claim the same privileges which such a shot entitles them to when not passing through a wicket...If in croqueting another ball a player allows his ball to move from its position, the ball croqueted may or may not be replaced at the option of the opposing players...” Some original ink blots, foxing at top edge, crisp folds with holes at intersections, but VG.

Even if you were starting out on a march, I should think you might with a pencil send a mark even, to so true a friend as I am to you - You talked about postal cards - Even they would have been welcome. I am left in the dark with regard to your movements. All I hear is what I see in the papers - little enough for a hungry friend.

It was on May 17 that Custer and his men rode out from Fort Abraham Lincoln, making the five-week march to the banks of the Little Bighorn River in Montana, where they would meet their bloody end. This letter would seem to give support to claims made by Custer’s fellow officers that he engaged in extramarital affairs. It is difficult to put any other construction on so ardent a plea for communication, and the suggestion that sending it directly to the writer would be safest, perhaps keeping it out of the hands of a jealous husband or disapproving parent! Custer would never live to read this letter, leaving us with the unpleasant certainty that it was subsequently opened and read by his famously devoted widow. [2] (photo)

My eye is blind, but one is not...I am little and deaf and dumb boy. I am 11 years old. I was born in Boston...” With ALS from JL Skinner to Hartford pillar Nathaniel Terry, 1 page, Washington March 22, 1819. He thanks Terry “together with your other fellow citizens, for the successful, very honorable manner, in which you have accomplished the object of their wishes, in regard to the Connecticut Asylum. The Asylum...is one of those sublime refinements, which belong to the social state in its highest improvements...” With a pair of letters from 1821 concerning the sale of land owned by the asylum in and near Tuscaloosa, Alabama. One 1821 letter with partial fold splits, otherwise all VG. The American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb (now the American School for the Deaf) was the first such institution to be successfully established in the country (a similar school in Virginia lasted for just a year).

For the last three days he has been free from pain but that is all. He gets more feeble every day...” The next, written the following December, is on black-bordered mourning stationery, as President Grant had died in May 1885. He tells the colonel that “I find from the records that Phelps and not Walke went up the Tennessee so I will take the liberty to change that [in his father’s deathbed Memoirs, which Fred helped prepare] but about the other corrections you mention I do not believe I have the authority to make a change...Although we printed 325,000 for the first addition [sic] all have been sold and orders are coming in...” In the third letter, Grant thanks Markland “for the interest you have taken in the [Adam] Badeau matter. I did have some dread of a newspaper discussion as to the authorship of my father’s book, but have no fear of the courts. Badeau can write well, and has desired to get into the papers from the beginning, he believing that he could crush me there, that is why he forced the issue...”

A letter in the President-Elect’s hand 1106

Jefferson, Thomas Third President of the United States (1743-1826, served 1801-09); Vice President under John Adams; first US Secretary of State; made the Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon, doubling the nation’s size; principal author of the Declaration of Independence and one of its Signers. Extraordinary Autograph Letter Signed “Th: Jefferson” while Vice President and President-elect, 1 full page, 4to, Washington, 1/8/1801. Writing to his assistant overseer at Monticello [Richard Richardson] less than two months before his inauguration, Jefferson discusses arrangements for hiring slaves from other plantations to assist in completing projects at his estate. He writes: “I recieved [sic] a few days ago your letter Dec. 22 and on the 5th inst. I wrote mr. Jefferson [his distant relative, Richmond merchant George Jefferson] and now inclose you an order on him for 550.16 D or say 165.1 [pounds] to be applied as follows: for Henry Duke for Simon - 21.10/Stephen - 20.10 / Ed. Goodwin adm’r...of Dickeson’s esta[te] John - 16.16 / [Isa]ac - 16.1 / the [wi]dow Duke for Mat - 20.0 / Hendrick’s estate for Moses - 20.0 / yourself for Joe - 19.0 / do. on account - 31.4, [summing to] 165.5 / D550.16. The last sum was intended to have been [thirty pounds] exact as you desired: but a mistake in addition mad[e] me state 165.1 to mr. Jefferson so that your part became 31.4 to be credited in our account. I do not recollect whether I was to pay you or not for mr. Duke, so you can either recieve & pay him...or give him an order for it on mr. Jefferson, as it is hazardous to send money by the post I procured an exchange of money here with a person who was to recieve money there...I have desired mr. Jefferson i[f] there is any delay to let me know by return of post...I am very sorry indeed to hear of so poor a chance for hiring laborers. It will be a serious embarrasment to me. I am in hopes you will have been able [t]o procure me some. I have not yet heard of Powell’s going up to stay; but have written to mr. Eppes [John Wayles Eppes, Jefferson’s son-in-law] to press him off. I am not yet able to give you information as to Journey work here.” Jefferson has written over the word “Monticello” at head to change it to Washington. Silked with some expert restoration at folds, resulting in the loss of an occasional letter or word, however the writing and signature remain clear and strong. Normal age-toning and some soiling, otherwise Very Good. Richard Richardson began as a bricklayer at Monticello, but went with Jefferson’s encouragement to Philadelphia, where he improved his skills at stone-cutting and plastering. By 1800 he was an overseer at Monticello in charge of building and digging projects. To his relative George Jefferson, the president-elect had assigned the task of finding slaves from neighboring plantations to hire as temporary laborers. Thomas Jefferson spent over forty years supervising various projects at his estate; one such project was to dig a canal, for which he was hiring laborers at the time of this letter. Although Jefferson often rented slaves to work for him, he found the practice disturbing, and he was adverse to renting out his own, though he did so on occasion. Although he wrote of slavery as a great moral evil, Jefferson feared for the social and economic consequences of emancipation, believing it would lead to a terrible racial war. He kept meticulous records of his slaves, but examples of his correspondence mentioning the subject are quite scarce, if not rare. The Papers of Thomas Jefferson have a transcription of this letter in their files. The retained copy they have in their files shows his endorsement on the verso, with the note that the letter is to Richardson. An excepEst. 30,000-50,000 tionally fine content letter!

Lincoln, Abraham Sixteenth President of the United States (1809-65, served from 1861); a humble Illinois lawyer, his remarkable speeches and debates together with his unexpected political shrewdness gained him the 1860 Republican nomination; his victory led ultimately to the Secession Crisis and the US Civil War; in meeting that challenge while showing profound humanity he has come to be regarded as the greatest American President. \n\nFascinating and intriguing 2-line Legal Note Signed “Lincoln & Herndon p.d.”, on blue bond paper, 7-3/4” x 2”, circa November 1850. Two lines on verso “…in said declaration alledged[sic]; and of this the defendants put themselves upon the country…” all in Lincoln’s hand and signed by him for his law office, “Lincoln & Herndon p.d.” This particular case, Gross v. Calhoun & Barrett, is listed on The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln website. Calhoun and Barrett owed Gross some money on an account. Gross sued Calhoun and Barrett in an action of debt to recover the money. Calhoun and Barrett retained Lincoln & Herndon and pleaded not guilty. The parties reached an agreement in which Calhoun agreed to pay the debt. The court ruled for Gross and was awarded $291.53 for damages. Lincoln had filed on behalf of the defendants in this case on November 29, 1850. This legal document fragment looks to have been the opening citation of the brief and the closing end of the case brief. On the face of the paper, the plantiff and defendents are listed at the left-hand side of page with the words “In Debt” noted. The “G” in Gross’ name is slightly cut off, leading one to deduce that there was more to this document at one point.\n\nLot also includes an envelope bearing the legendary book dealer “George D. Smith”/70 Wall Street/New York” printed address. Hand-written in pencil on the face “2 lines autograph/signed Lincoln & Herndon”; dated “6/17/20” in pencil and annotated “79-/K” beneath. Along with a small piece of paper with a description of the above document - possibly from a George Smith price list or auction listing. George Smith was a fixture in the New York Times in the 1900s-1910s for his many book acquisitions and priceless collections that he acquired in his travels. In a NY Times article from May of 1912, George Smith acquired and exhibited the Lamon Lincolniana Collection in his NY showrooms. Of note in the collection is the existence of several Lincoln legal documents, including nine legal briefs. Mr. Smith died in March of 1920 from heart disease in his own book shop surrounded by the books he loved.\nWilliam Herndon was an interesting figure in his own right. He was Lincoln’s law partner in Illinois. At some point in the late 1870s, Herndon began a correspondence with an Indiana-born Lincoln admirer named Jesse W. Weik. By this time of his life, a growing number of Lincoln enthusiasts had written to Herndon seeking any type of Lincoln memorabilia, especially personal effects and autographs, and Herndon often obliged free of charge. When he supplied the young Weik with a Lincoln autograph from one of the stacks of legal documents in his possession, the grateful young man continued writing the old man and a friendship began that would result in the completion of the long-delayed Lincoln biography.

Delightful Autograph Verse Signed “DP Madison,” 1 page, 4to, on sheet with stationer’s embossed “W/R/B/A” and quill at lower right, no place, February 9, 1848.

Thy power more magical / Than that which graced of old Amphion’s lyre, / Can savage hearts with wond’reous spell enthral; / Can clear suspicions mist with gladdening fire, / Can chain in rosy boneds impetuous ire; / Can melt the ice-bound heart of cold disdain; / Can dying love with vital breath inspire; / From every passion pluck the cancerous pain - / And seeming still to yield, lead captive all the train.” Uneven toning from prior display.

Why should you sell the business now...? You would go to pieces with nothing to do. Make Emeral try all the quacks: especially the aesthetic ones. They will at least amuse her. The doctors are useless; but she must not simply succumb. She must find out how to cure herself and live...You cannot be my friend and my debtor. Wipe out all that: you owe me nothing; and if you send me a cheque I will put it in the fire...” Also with a TLS “G. Bernard Shaw,” 1 page, oblong 8vo, London, May 4, 1932. He tells Mr Sandilands, “I shall not go to the Spare show because I am not a buyer of works of art; and I share the general reluctance to disappoint a shopkeeper by walking around without buying anything...I have not yet met with any normal British householders who would care to live with one of Mr Spare’s drawings, or bring up their families in contemplation of them...” Also with a choice Western Union Cablegram, November 22, 1929, to Journalist George Sylvester Viereck in New York. It reads, “NO MORE INTERVIEWS HAVE HAD TO REPUDIATE LAST AND STOP SECOND INSTALMENT [sic] IN SUNDAY EXPRESS YOU NEVER UNDERSTAND A WORD I SAY - SHAW.” Shaw had previously written to complain to Viereck for badly misrepresenting his views (see lot 1597 in our sale 301).

Sweden: Oscar II King of Sweden (1809-1907, ruled from 1872, King of Sweden and Norway until 1905); a respected mediator in international disputes; considered personally responsible for the peaceful separation of Norway into an independent kingdom. Manuscript Letter of State Signed “Oscar” as King, in Swedish, 1/2 page, folio, Stockholm, June 19, 1905. He happily announces the marriage of “Prince Oscar Frederik Wilhelm Olav Gustav Adolf of Sweden and of Norway...to...Princess Margaret Victoria Augusta Charlotte Norah of Great Britain...” Countersigned by Minister of Foreign Affairs “A.

With historic Typewritten Document Signed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Frederik “Wachtmeister,” in French, 1-1/4 pages, folio, Stockholm, October 26, 1905.

Sydney, Thomas Townshend, Viscount English politician (1732-1800); Secretary at War and Home Secretary; namesake of the Australian metropolis. Interesting political content Autograph Letter Signed three times, once as “Sydney” and twice with the initial “S,” 2-1/2 pp, 4to, Tottenham Park [London, home of the Earl of Ailesbury], October 10, 1788. He informs “My Dear Jack” [undoubtedly his son, John Townshend] that he knows no one to recommend for an appointment, as “Sr. C[harles] Barrow’s sudden termination of a long illness has disconcerted matters, & Sir G. Paul has got the start. I have thought it adviseable to send your letter or an extract of it to Mr. [Prime Minister William] Pitt...I am quite in the dark myself...” After advising him to not “engage yourself lightly,” he explains that he has gotten the Receivership of the County of Gloucestershire for Sir William Guise. The following page and a half are filled with lengthy postscripts, wondering if someone can be found “of the County, that will stand upon the right Interest, or is there no compromise to be made against a general election?” and trying to track down whether Jack is in Bath or Gloucester. Paper clip stains on first page, soiling to second page, minor edge and fold wear, otherwise VG. Sir Charles Barrow would die early in 1789. His place in parliament was filled by John Pitt, a Tory, which suggests that Sydney, a Whig, was unable to get an appointment of someone with “the right Interest”.

Vanderbilt, Cornelius American shipping magnate known as “the Commodore” (17941877); began by operating ferries in the New York area; branched out to steamboats, breaking the Fulton Company’s monopoly; later turned to railroads, forming the New York Central and Hudson; established the family fortune. Most unusual third-person early Autograph Document Signed “C. Van Derbilt” in body, 1 p, narrow oblong 8vo (2.75” x 8.15”), NY, March 29, 1827. A receipt prepared by Vanderbilt for “fifty Dollars on account of Varnishing the Cabbons of the Swan.” Also signed by the payee, “Otis B. Prescott.” Docketed on verso. Slightly uneven edges, normal age-toning, otherwise VG. Vanderbilt’s employer, Thomas Gibbons, had died in 1826, and at the time of this document, Vanderbilt worked for his son and heir, William Gibbons. The Swan had replaced the Commodore’s previous boat, the Emerald, which had mysteriously caught fire one night in late 1826 while moored in New Jersey. Before long, the younger Gibbons would put his share of the business up for sale at a price Vanderbilt could not afford, and the Commodore would strike out on his own. (photo)

Early George Washington Letter Regarding Slaves 1125

$40 Reward For Runaway Term Slaves Washington, George Unanimously chosen First President of the United States under the new constitution, taking the oath of office in New York City on April 30, 1789, and serving until 1797; during the Revolutionary War, Commander of all Continental Armies. Exceptional content Manuscript Document Signed “Go: Washington,” 1 page small 4to, Fairfax County, Virginia, April 20, 1775. Washington advertises for two term slaves “Runaway from the Subscriber...Thomas Spears...He is 5 feet 6-1/2 inches high slender made...hair short, light grey or blue eyses a little pock m[marked] and well freckled. He was born in Bristol.... [and] William Webster, a Scotchman 30 odd years of age...He is about five feet 6 inches hight & well ma[de] with light brown hair short & a round face...Whoever apprehends the said servants & delivers them to me at my dwelling place in Fairfax County shal receive the above reward of Forty Dollars or Twenty Dollars for each.” On verso is a receipt for eight dollars to Mr. Joseph [Hart?], one of the men who apprehended the servants, signed on the future President’s behalf by his brother, “John Washington” on April 24. Loss along entire right side, with about ⅛ of the document out, affecting mainly the headline and the first two lines of text, as well as the terminal “n” of Washington’s signature. With partial fold splits, three paper repairs on verso, and spindle hole in upper left, otherwise in fair to good condition, with extant text fully legible. Contained between two panes of glass in a painted wooden frame, overall size 8¼” x 9¼”. William Webster, a convict, was indentured for a term of seven years, beginning in 1774, primarily to work at Washington’s holdings on the Ohio River under overseer Valentine Crawford. Almost immediately after being purchased the previous March, Webster escaped and was brought back in late April 1774. Apparently it was his season for doing so, for this advertisement comes almost exactly a year later. On the present occasion, Washington’s account book shows that he advanced money on April 20, 1775 to Thomas Allison “in pursuit of Servts.” It also shows three reward payments on the 29th for runaway servants, one each to William Johnson and Thomas Johnson, and a third who goes unnamed, and was presumably the recipient of the $8 paid out here. Washington is well known to have had an uneasy conscience with regard to his slaves, whom he freed in his will. The same surely did not apply to term slaves like Webster and Spears, convicts who had forfeited their own liberty and would be released from service after seven years. Rather than sending his own slaves, Washington purchased the men for Crawfords’ expedition because they were skilled; Spears was a joiner and Webster a brick maker.

The following Liberty Loan Bonds were discovered together as a group. Although the serial numbers begin with different prefix letters, when the digits are consecutive the bonds are consecutively numbered. The numbering scheme worked this way - bonds that began with an “A” prefix had serial numbers ending in 1, bonds that began with a “B” prefix had serial numbers ending in 2, etc. The K prefix was used on serial numbers that ended in “0”.

“I” was not used because it might be confused with 1. This was just one of three potential numbering schemes that could have been adopted. The purpose was most likely counterfeit prevention. This is the first time consecutively numbered bonds of this nature have come to our attention, and they may, in fact, prove to be hard to find in consecutive order.
