The January 2013 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. 1. 2.

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. THESE TERMS OF SALE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. THE SIGNER OF A SPINK BID SHEET OR PARTICIPANT IN THE AUCTION AGREES THAT EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH RESPECT TO THESE TERMS OR IN CONNECTION WITH SPINK SHALL RESIDE INA STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS. 24. On-line Bidding — SPINK offers internet services as a convenience to our clients, but SPINK will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of connection on SPINK or your end; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with a client's internet connection, computer or system.

Multicolored circus art lithographed design elements. Unissued remainder sheet. Almost Uncirculated. The owners of the circus wanted to create spectacular certificates, but the practical cost of producing circus art on a multicolored engraved certificate was extravagant. A compromise was reached. American Bank Note Company supplied the engraved frames, and the circus provided the lithographed artwork. The resulting certificates were so attractive that when the company was sold to Mattel, many shareholders refused to give up their circus certificates. Uncut sheets of ABN certificates of any kind are rarely encountered. The fact that this sheet consists of four blue Ringling Brothers share certificates makes it even more compelling.

In an effort to bypass certain governmental pressures concerning the alleged monopolistic powers of Standard Oil Company, the Standard Oil Trust was conceived and controlled by nine trustees.

Acquisitions and ventures were channeled through trustees whose affiliation and loyalty to Rockefeller and Standard Oil were not readily obvious.

This new arrangement enabled Rockefeller to form alliances and set up new concerns in other states while retaining complete control of all the various interests. It brought new meaning to the word “Trust�, and made Rockefeller and Flagler the most powerful individuals in the industry and the richest men in the world. John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) was the dominant figure in the oil industry until his retirement in 1911. He started his business career as a bookkeeper, and by age 19 was a partner in a produce business. He began operating a small refinery with his partners, and quickly realized the growing investment possibilities in what was then a fairly new industry. In 1870, he organized the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and proceeded to achieve control over 90% of the oil refineries in the country. Rockefeller had little interest in discovering oil; he left that to wildcatters and other speculators. He concentrated on the transportation, distribution and sale of petroleum products, building a fortune estimated at over a billion dollars. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

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).

Merritt served in only one campaign alongside both James H Wilson and Fred C Newhall; that was in the Shenandoah Campaign, leaving little doubt that the “old Chief” he refers to is Philip H Sheridan, who had died in 1888.

Fur Trade: [American Fur Company: Vanderburgh’s Death] Interesting autograph letter signed by John Catron to Robert Campbell in St. Louis. He explains that “Wm. H. Vanderburg the clerk of the American Fur Co. drew a Bill of Exchange on P[ierre] Chouteau Agt for said Company in favour of George Ennis for the sum of $473.50...for furs my Brother [Minatree Catron] sold to the Am. Fur Copy...with the instructions to pay me the money. Mr. Chouteau has refused payment and the Bill is returned protested...Ennis informs me that you had a draft or Bill...drawn by same Vanderburgh as clerk of Am Fur Co on same Chouteau for a large amount” and wants to know if Chouteau protested that, too. Vanderburgh had become one of the AMF’s top men in the Western Department, running its trapping operations with Andrew Drips. They had recently been chasing Tom Fitzpatrick and his men through Blackfoot country. The day after this letter was written, Vanderburgh and a handful of trappers were ambushed by about a hundred Blackfeet. He and one other man were killed. Vanderburgh’s body was never found. (Image)

Fur Trade: [Campbell, Robert] Three very early letters to Campbell in St. Louis, all 1825, from business colleagues. The first, from Cape Girardeau, MO, is from James Keyte on April 30, sending goods up the Mississippi on the Phoenix. Keyte writes again on May 9, this time from Wheeling, (now WV), during a trip East. Because of low water, he will skip Pittsburgh, and will take the mail stage to Baltimore. Keyte’s instructions to Campbell about their stores suggests that he is in the position of authority. Eventually Campbell would become one of the richest men in St. Louis.The third, from Philadelphia, is from Robert Wiley on May 25, while he is apparently being visited by Keyte, who carried the letter back to St. Louis. He reports that business is slow, and “nearly every species of merchandise has advanced in Value in consequence of which country dealers have curtailed their orders.. A few years like the present would convert the whole of you southern & western folks into nabobs...Your time is coming.” All letters suffer from condition problems.In 1832, Keyte would found the town that still bears his name, Keytesville, Missouri. The year 1825 would later see Campbell’s first expedition to the Rocky Mountains, in the company of Jedediah Smith of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company.

George IV King of the United Kingdom (1762-1830, reigned from 1820); his father’s illness required his regency from 1811 until George III’s death; though clever and talented, his excesses, his outdated political stances, and his often cruel treatment of his estranged wife severely damaged his popular reputation. Grand Manuscript Document Signed “George R” as King, 1 page, on vellum, large oblong folio, Windsor, September 20, 1825. Also signed by Foreign Secretary “George Canning.” George appoints Peter Lacroix “to be Our Consul at Nice, hereby giving and granting unto him full Power and Authority by all lawful means to aid and protect Our Merchants and other Our Subjects...that has trade to or reside at Nice.” Large wax and paper royal seal at upper left.

Napoleon I - French Emperor (1769-1821, ruled 1804-15); emerging in the late stages of the French Revolution, he would conquer or control most of continental Europe until his final defeat at Waterloo in 1815. Manuscript Order Signed “Nap,” 1 page, 4to, Paris, March 3, 1809. He directs Minister of War General Henri Clarke to reorganize fusilier companies in the Army of the Rhine at Strasbourg in order to form a Battalion of March of the Fourth Battalion of the Army of the Rhine. These join grenadiers and votigeurs that have already been assigned to that army, and will create a battalion alongside that of General Nicolas Oudinot. In VG/Fine condition. Just a month after the emperor signed this order, Austrian troops crossed into French-controlled Bavaria, initiating the War of the Fifth Coalition. After initial Austrian successes against Napoleon’s disorganized subordinates, the emperor took charge of the war, and won a costly but decisive victory at Wagram in July. General Oudinot’s bravery in the campaign led to his being named a Marshal of France, and Austria ceased to be a threat to French control over EuEst. 1,000-1,500 rope. A choice one-page document ideal for prominent display. (photo)

Napoleon I - Manuscript Document Signed “Nap” as Emperor, 1/2 page, 4to, the palace at Fontainbleu, October 13, 1810. With one (undeciphered) interpolation in his hand. Napoleon directs Minister of War Henri Clarke, the Duc de Feltre, to “Order the 4th Regiment of Line that is in camp at Boulgone” into garrison duty. Follow-up note pinned to lower left corner. In VG/F condition. In late 1810, Napoleon was reaching the height of his influence over Europe. Though England continued to thwart him on the Iberian peninsula, France controlled Spain, Italy, the western German states, Switzerland, and Poland; and made subordinate allies of Austria, Prussia, Sweden, and Denmark. Only when he dared to invade Russia in 1812 would Napoleon face an overpowering enemy: the bitter Russian winter. A few years earlier, Boulogne had been the staging point for the abandoned French assault on the emperor’s Est. 1,000-1,500 most implacable foe, England.

Napoleon I - Interesting Manuscript Document Signed “Nap” as Emperor, 1 page, 4to, Paris, November 20, 1810. He writes to his Minister of War, Henri Clarke, the duc de Feltre, about a letter Clarke had forwarded from General Charles Louis Grandjean. Grandjean had suggested extraordinary maneuvers of infantry, cannon, and mortars, also involving the navy. In very good condition and deserving of further research. General Grandjean had risen through the ranks steadily from the revolutionary period through Napoleon’s reign, serving with distinction in Pomerania and Spain, including at the Siege of Saragossa in 1808-9. He had two horses shot from under him at the Battle of Wagram, and would later command a division in the Russian Campaign, where he held the garrison at Danzig that was compelled to surrender. He is among the generals immortalized on the Arc de Triomphe. Another desirable oneEst. 1,000-1,500 page order, ready for display. (photo)

Follow-up note pinned at lower left. In VG/F condition. 1811 was a time of relative quiet for Napoleon after his victory in the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809. However, the seeds of his first great failure were already beginning to sprout, as his supposed supporter, Tsar Alexander I, abandoned Napoleon’s continent-wide blockade of British shipping. Before long, a complete rupture between France and Russia would lead to Napoleon’s disastrous attempt to conquer his erstwhile ally, ending in the emperor’s Est. 1,000-1,500 exile to Elba.

Early US Ship’s Passport Collection These passports were an important ship’s paper, kept aboard the ship during the voyage and deposited, along with the Registry Certificate, with the appropriate US consular authority anytime the vessel was in a foreign port. The document was intended to protect the vessel from capture or destruction by proving American (nonbeligerent) ownership. American crew members aboard the ships remained vulnerable to imprisonment, especially if they did not carry their own personal protection certificate as proof of citizenship. These passports were cut in a scallop pattern at the top so that they could be matched with the resulting stub, which the collector held. This was a means of preventing counterfeits.

Rosenberg Spy Case: Sobell and Meeropol Unusual group of Typewritten Letters Signed, 1972-74, all to collector Dr David Marcus of Palm Springs, CA, by men associated with the case of convicted spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were found guilty of stealing secrets of the atomic bomb for the Soviet Union. The Rosenbergs were sentenced to death and executed in 1953. The verdict, especially in the case of Ethel Rosenberg, was and remains controversial. The earliest is by songwriter and poet “Abel Meeropol” (1903-86), 1-1/4 pages, 8vo, South Miami, FL, January 15, 1974. Meeropol, best known for his poem “Strange Fruit,” which became the basis for the song, had adopted Michael and Robert Rosenberg after their parents’ execution in 1953. He encloses (not present) “some material...regarding the Rosenberg case...Also...a statement regarding the substance of the suit against Louis Nizer [who had written a book supporting the Rosenbergs’ guilt] which the attorney for my sons, Michael and Robert...has made available...There is a paper-back book about the frame-up of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg...entitled INVITATION TO AN INQUEST...” A few days later he sends a brief three-line letter, signed this time as “Lewis Allen,” his pen name, with an enclosure (not present) regarding the lawsuit. With two letters signed “MS” by Morton Sobell (born 1917), who was convicted along with the Rosenbergs but received a 30-year sentence rather than the death penalty. He tells Dr Marcus that he cannot send his autograph, for he considers “autograph collecting infantile.” In one of the letters, he adds, “I am sorry that you cannot see the difference between autographing one’s work and autographing an empty piece of paper.” In very recent years, Sobell has admitted to being a Soviet spy and has made it clear that Julius Rosenberg was also guilty; Ethel’s level of involvement remains uncertain.

Scott, Winfield American soldier (1786-1866); gained national fame for his heroics in the War of 1812; General-in-Chief of US forces from the Mexican War through the early Civil War; presidential candidate in 1840 and 1852. Early Autograph Letter Signed “Winfield Scott” while Brigadier General, 1-1/2 pages, 4to, “Head Qrs. Eastern Dept. / New York,” February 4, 1823. He informs his friend H[ugh] Brady that “I have this moment received the official information (in the new army list) of your promotion to the rank of brigadier general. As an old brother soldier, I take the liberty of felicitating you on the event. Altho’ the rank has been delayed many years after it was fully merited, I trust it will give you as much pleasure, as the news will afford to your many friends...” Age-toned, with chipped and slightly torn left margin, partial mounting strip at left edge, otherwise in very good condition. Hugh Brady had commanded an infantry regiment under Scott at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane in the War of 1812. He was brevetted Brigadier General on July 6, 1822, for ten years of service in one grade, and in May 1848 was brevetted Major General for meritorious conduct. (photo - page 76)

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”.

Theater: Michael Redgrave and Family Acclaimed English actor and producer (1908-85); known best for his theatrical work; his daughters Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave, and Vanessa’s daughters Natasha and Joely Richardson have all made their mark in film. A wealth of correspondence: 9 Autograph Letters Signed, 46 TLS, an ANS and two DS, signed various ways, most on his imprinted stationery, various places (mostly London), 1948-73. All are to New York lawyer Arnold Weissberger. Many with great content, as Redgrave critiques his own work. He mentions A Month in the Country, A Woman in Love, The Astonished Heart, Hamlet, Henry IV, The Tempest, Horatio Hornblower, Juliana, Antony and Cleopatra, Hedda Gabler, My Fair Lady, Out of Bounds, La Boheme, Gaugin, and many others. In 1949, he notes: “a great advantage that we have in London as compared with New York - that we can put on plays which obviously have a limited appeal and expect to get our costs back in a few weeks...” After his 1948 New York debut in the role of Macbeth, he reflects, “I think that my next appearance in New York ought to be in something which is very specially ‘mine’...Even ones friends could hardly call [Macbeth] anything better than a near-miss...” With Card Signed “With all our love also / Rachel & Michael,” all in his hand, with a cover illustration of Redgrave as Richard II. With six Telegrams by Redgrave, 1962-67. Complementing Redgrave’s correspondence are ALS variously by his wife Rachel Kempson [4], his son and biographer Corin, his daughter Lynn [3], and her husband John Clark. In her final letter to Weissberger, Kempson asks about selling the family’s London home, explaining that “with Mike’s wretched ‘Parkinsons’ we can no longer afford 2 homes...” Generally VG.

USS Monitor: John Ericsson Swedish-born engineer and inventor (1803-89); designed the ironclad USS Monitor, and revolutionized sea travel with his caloric engine and perfection of the screw propeller. Interesting Autograph Letter Signed “J. Ericsson,” 1 page, 4to, New York, August 3, 1852. He writes to journalist and lawyer John O. Sargent, “You asked me last night to state candidly my opinion in regard to Mr. James Flagg’s fitness to take the lamented Mr. Dawning’s place - Mr. Flagg is eminently qualified to fill the situation - He is a skilful [sic] agricultural chemist, a botanist of considerable acquirements, intimately acquainted with English ornamental gardening, a very neat architectural & mechanical draughtsman and designs with much facility & taste - I may add that Mr. Flagg is quite an educated man and possesses much useful & varied information...” Old catalogue description pasted to head of letter in blank margin; lightly age-toned, with edge and fold wear including minor splits at left edge, otherwise in good condition. In 1842, Sargent had published a lecture he’d given at the Boston Lyceum on naval improvements, specifically Ericsson’s caloric engine. With ALS “J. Ericsson,” 1 page, 8vo, no place, “Thursday morning” [March 1857]. Writing to shipping entrepreneur John B. Kitching, he pens “If you can spare time give me a call to day, between 3 & 5 o’clock, you will see something in the caloric line that will please you...” Age-toned, stained, otherwise good. Kitching must have been very pleased, for he became principal owner of the Ericsson, a transatlantic passenger steamer, and would run an agency in New York that sold caloric engines.

Plain boards with marbled paper intact but splitting from spine, 75 pages, some pages missing at beginning and end, half torn pages, no whaling stamps or illustrations save one small sailing vessel {July 5, 1852}. Pencil markings throughout and some pasted in verses and articles. Complete transcription accompanies lot as well as contemporary tradespaper, Whalemen’s Shipping List, and Merchants’ Transcript,” New-Bedford, May 31, 1853, No.13, Vol. XI. In terse commentary throughout this journal, Captain Green conveys to the reader all of the boredom and tedium of a four-year long whaling voyage, punctuated by the aggravation of many missed opportunities to capture “spurm” and right whales. In one passage Captain Green’s exasperation is only too clear as he writes “....the West Boat went on to one Large 110 Bll (barrel) Whale and the Boatsteerer Mist (SIC) him. A First Rate Chance Mist, Mist, Mist, Mist.” Captain Green probably would have added the word “Mist” a few more times, but he was at the end of the ledger page! (photo)

Iconic Fractional Currency Shield
728 728
Seldom Available “Original” Framed Gray Fractional Currency Shield - Fr. 1382.Not originally issued in frames, it is evident that many Fractional Currency Shields soon found their way into gold trimmed wooden frames, perhaps for display in public areas such as post offices. Because of the contemporary housing that is missing so frequently on shields that exist today is intact on the present, we don’t hesitate to endorse the present as fully “original”. Further differentiating the current shield from many that are offered today is the absence of water stains on the bottom quarter. Like most of the gray shields (gray being the most common of three varieties), the present is composed of 39 specimen fractional notes, four or which have hand-signed Jefferies-Spinner signature combinations. Minor variations in note conditions are visible, but the notation of specific specimen condition remains unnecessary given their relative similarity. Several condition issues however do exist and, while not major deterrents in the big picture, are worthy of mention. While not uncommon, the paper has moderately but evenly toned and close inspection yields a small tear in the lower right margin that steers clear of the shield. Additionally, several folds and creases enter the shield, primarily on the right side. Additionally, it is apparent that insects at one time made their acquaintance with the shield as minor paper thinning is traceable around portions of the margins. All said though, the present original frame, glass and shield, a combination that appears to be getting rarer and rarer with time, presents wonderfully and is one of the most visually imposing items available to banknote aficionados. Further, it is one of the truest pieces of numismatic Americana available to collectors, offering those few lucky owners the chance to intimately connect to a time when counterfeiting was a great public concern and the government’s answer to said problem was to produce a visual display of what things “should look like”, so as to educate the populace. A wonderful piece of American fabric that is sure to be cherished by its next owner. (photo) Est. 3,000-5,000

An Interesting Collection of 18th Century Swiss and Northern Italian Fiscal Paper. Included are over seventy documents from Bellinzona, Rohrschach, Ragatz, Rheineck, St. Gallen, Gunzburg, Bergamo, Como, Intra, Milano and Chiavenna. Dated from the 1740s to the 1790s. Several are on printed forms, others are manuscript. Most appear to be freight invoices and other shipper’s records, many bearing shipper’s and receiver’s individual marks. These are in the form of letters and geometric designs such as 5-pointed stars (perhaps a Jewish merchant), triangles and crosses, that would appear on the boxes of freight as identifying marks. Most are in Very Fine condition with very little age toning. An unusual collection, probably difficult to duplicate. Must be seen. (photo) Est. 750-1250

Originally a Hittite port, Sinope became the wealthiest emporium on the southern Euxine coast. Between 780 and 756 BC, Milesian Greeks founded a settlement there, while the area came under Phrygian contol in 700 BC. Sinope was laid waste by the Cimmerians in 677 BC, only to be refounded as a Milesian colony in ca. 630 BC. It later came under the yoke of the Persian empire. Following the defeat of the Persians at the hands of Alexander the Great, the Macedonian ruler told Sinope’s ambassador that the city should keep its old independence. After Alexander’s death, Sinope was able to remain independent both of the Seleukids and the Pontic kings. Syrian influence, though, was clear and this tetradrachm emulates Seleukid types of Antiochos III, albeit in distinctive Sinopan fashion. The obverse depicts Sinope, daughter of Asopus, who, according to the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, bore Apollo (depicted on the reverse) a son, Syrus, the eponymous first king of the Syrians.

Gomez 43.02a - variety not listed; Fr 65, KM 172.2), accompanied by Certificate, and original lot card, gently salved, extremely fine. In April, 1755 Robert Clive was preparing for his voyage back to India. Beginning his career as a lowly clerk in the British East India Company, Clive had returned to England two years earlier as a rich and successful military hero, briefly pursuing a flirtation with politics. Now returning to the battlefields of India, he packed his belongings and nearly £3,000 of gold coins (England then abounded with Brazilian gold coin) and left with his wife aboard the Stretham, which sailed for India with several other ships on April 22. His gold, though, had been consigned to another ship, the Dodington. Beset in stormy weather off Chaos Island in Algoa Bay, near present day Port Elizabeth in South Africa, the Dodington hit a reef and smashed into pieces. Only 23 of the 270 aboard survived, living for seven months on Chaos Island, now known as Bird island (so named for the legions of birds whose guano contributions over the years has made the island a valued natural resource). They recovered portions of the wreckage - tools, provisions and one “Chest of Treasure” and one of “Wrought Plate.” The treasure was disputed, the officers wanted to save it for their consignors and the other survivors wanted to divide it among themselves. One chest was opened surreptitiously and more than half the contents stolen and hidden. The survivors sailed to Mozambique aboard an escape vessel they had built, then on to India, where Clive soon learned of his loss. Over the years, some in the Cape Colony believed that more than two treasure chests came ashore on Bird Island and that the additional chests were buried by the officers to avoid conflict and mutiny. In England, meanwhile, the story of the wreck of the Dodington captured the public imagination and stirred the interest of salvagers and would-be treasure hunters.

Very Rare Marriage Ruble In Gold
1027 1027
RUSSIA, Nicholas I (1825-1855), Marriage Ruble in Gold 1841, St. Petersburg, By H. Gube, On the Wedding of Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich (the future Tsar Alexander II) and Princess Maria Alexandrovna of Hesse-Darmstadt. 32.69 grams. Reeded edge. Their conjoined busts l., Maria of Hesse wearing a laurel wreath, PѢЗAΛЪ ΓYБE below heads (Cut by Gube). Rev. Crowned shield emblazoned with the ciphers of Alexander and Maria, supported by Cupid holding a bow at right and Psyche holding a stalk of lilies at left, St. Petersburg mintmark: C.П.Б. left edge, H.-Γ. below shield (Bitkin 899). PCGS Genuine Tooled - UNC Details. Friction hairlines, small scratch upper reverse, tooling lower heads. Good lustre. On a state visit to England in 1838, Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich was unsuccessful in his marital advances on the young Queen. But while touring Europe in the same year, he had fallen in love with Princess Maximiliane Wilhelmine Auguste Sophie Marie of Hesse-Darmstadt, then but a tender 14. In 1840, he decided to marry her and the princess arrived in September. Immediately popular with the people, Princess Marie was duly renamed Maria Alexandrovna. Mint-produced commemorative coin issues in Russia only began in 1834 with the Alexandrine Column Ruble. And with the marriage of his heir looming, Tsar Nicholas I decided to use this new innovation to honor and commemorate the event, ordering the State Mint to prepare designs for a medallic coinage. Heinrich Gube’s designs were chosen. Alexander Nikolaevich and Maria Alexandrovna were wed April 16, 1841 in an elaborate ceremony. And the numismatic outpouring from the event was equally elaborate, a Medallic Ruble and Medals, in three metals were produced. (photo) Est. 35,000-45,000

1863 50 Cents. PCGS MS64. An exquisite Civil War representative with the combination of few contact marks and knife-like rendering of the intended design elements. The luster varies by side, with the obverse luster being frosty and encircling the central devices and the reverse being slightly semi-prooflike as the result of considerable die polish lines. Interestingly, some die rust is present beneath the olive branch on the reverse, likely the result of a storage mishap and usage on a previous year’s coinage.

A sharply defined example of this early Heraldic Eagle half dollar with attractive gray-tan coloration over both sides that lightens at areas with heavier wear.

A boldly detailed example of this avidly collected “small eagle” type with mostly untoned surfaces that hold some hairlines and edges that show some apparent damage.

1798 1 Dollar. Fine Details, Cleaned. B-8, R.2. Free of all but the slightest contact marks with an attractive veil of patina over both sides. Underlying brightness suggests a past cleaning, but given the high percentage of survivors that have seen at least this level of cleaning, mild offenders, such as the present, are often allowed to slide by at the grading services. As such, this borderline “market acceptable” example may or may not receive detail-free grading at the leading grading services. (photo) Est. 800-1,000

Rich brown and olive patina blanket the surfaces with no significant marks and sharp design detail on Liberty’s hair and the reverse eagle’s breast.
