CONSIGNMENT Once the valuation process is over and you would like to consign your item(s) to Morphy Auctions, a Morphy Auctions Representative will contact you. At this point, your Morphy Representative will coordinate all of the details of your consignments and logistics (consignment rate, special clauses, auction date, etc.) The Morphy Representative will finalize the contract with you and arrange for shipment or pick-up of your items.

INVENTORY, INSURANCE & STORAGE From the time your items are in our possession, they will be fully insured for the amount of the low pre-sale estimate until they transfer to the buyer who purchased the item at auction. After we receive your consigned items, our consignment team will tag and inventory each item. Our state-of-the-art process ensures that each of your items is properly documented and stored prior to the items being displayed. Our system also allows us to make sure the correct expert inspects, describes and estimates your items.

We consider all of our experts to have the greatest knowledge and best reputations within their given field.

Our full time on-site photographers will take multiple photographs of each of your items, accurately representing your pieces.

GAMING DEVICES - MORPHY’S may hold these items for up to 5 business days to allow state agencies to verify the purchaser’s information. All auction participants are urged to check the legality of possession in and/or shipment of gaming devices to their state of residence. Ownership of gaming devices is prohibited in these states: Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nebraska, South Carolina, and Tennessee. If you become a high bidder on a gaming item, and you are from one of the prohibited states as listed here: • You must pay for your item, • You will not be able to take possession of the item (MORPHY’S cannot ship it to you or allow pickup), • MORPHY’S will consign the item in your name to the next appropriate auction. If you do not pay for the item in full, MORPHY’S will block you from participating in future auctions. Any gaming device purchased at the auction shall be used for the purpose of display or social entertainment within the private home or residence of the buyer, and such devices shall not, in any event or manner, be exposed to the public for the purpose of gambling or be resold in the state of Nevada without a gaming distribution license. Proof of residence/ID is required for purchase of gaming devices. FIREWORKS – MORPHY’S can only ship Class 1 Division 1.4 and 1.6 Explosives (as described in the following website: http:// environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/hazmat/placards/class1.html) per the 49CFR 173.50 and can only ship these via FedEx. All items not shippable must be picked up by the buyer. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES • Return Considerations o MORPHY’s is not responsible for a third party grading company agreeing or disagreeing with our assessment, and we cannot issue refunds or credits if cards do not receive a numerical grade or the exact grade that we describe. MORPHY’s strongly recommends that you personally evaluate any items that you are bidding on, and make your own determination about its grade. MORPHY’S offers no guarantee of grade for uncertified items sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. o Cards sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “as is” without any express or implied warranty. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services, and the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Sportscard Guaranty LLC (SGC), Global Authentics LLC, Beckett Grading Services (BGS), JO Sports, Inc. o MORPHY’S will not accept return of certified items due to possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. Grading does not qualify for return evaluation, nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. o MORPHY’s shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchaser’s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible. o Under extremely limited circumstances related solely to authenticity, such as a highly significant cataloging error, a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request MORPHY’S to evaluate voiding a sale. (continued...)


bidder

Terms & Conditions o Lots returned must be completely intact in their original form and undamaged holder, or there will be no credit. Certifications are void and returns are not accepted for any cards removed from their third-party grading holder. o All elements of the MORPHY’S POST-SALE RETURN POLICY apply. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. • On any lot presented with a Letter of Authenticity (“LOA”) issued by MORPHY’S o The bidder shall solely rely upon the warranties of the authentication provider issuing the Letter or opinion, or on the warranties of the authentication provider of the bidder’s choice. o Warranty inures only to the original purchaser. Purchaser may not transfer the rights afforded under the LOA, and it is null and void when Purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer the lot. o The LOA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Purchaser was awarded the lot to four (4) years after its purchase. o The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage, e.g. game worn. o Claim procedure: o Purchaser must contact MORPHY’S within the warranty period, prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim, receive prior approval, and arrange secure shipment. o Purchaser must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the sports field. o If MORPHY’S concurs that the lot is not as represented, Purchaser shall be refunded their purchase price. o If the MORPHY’s denies the claim, the Purchaser agrees to the AGREEMENT REGARDING GOVERNING LAW, VENUE, AND LEGAL RIGHTS noted herein. o The LOA does not provide for incidental or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer or MORPHY’S affiliates is subject to such issuing entity’s rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to purchaser. • In the event MORPHY’s cannot deliver the lot, or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, provenance, or authenticity, MORPHY’s liability shall be limited to voiding of the sale and refund of purchase price. In no case shall MORPHY’s liability exceed the winning bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, MORPHY’S maximum liability shall be limited to any buyer’s premium earned on that lot. • Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, MORPHY’S reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. MORPHY’S also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction. • There is a subjectivity to grading, especially the grading of cards. Every effort is made to verify the condition of each lot as it is described. MORPHY’S accepts items for auction after careful scrutiny by not only ourselves, but, when necessary, by other leading authenticators. We cannot guarantee that every card described by us will in all cases receive exactly the same grade, or even be accepted for grading, from any third-party grading service. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that every card graded by one third-party grading service will in all cases receive exactly the same grade by another third-party grading service. Occasionally a lot description will include the words “we have submitted,” which is intended to be taken literally and give bidders great confidence that MORPHY’S has not “done anything” to the cards to alter or otherwise improve their appearance and

ultimate grade. No warranty, whether expressed or implied, is made with respect to any grade, condition, or other adjectival descriptions, which can and do vary, even among experts. • Large Autograph Group Disclaimer: When dealing with a single individual auction lot containing many items, these lots are offered with the explicit understanding that it is possible that there may be a small percentage which are not authentic. When authenticating large lots, such as a collection of 6,000+ signed 3 x 5 cards, or a set of 700+ signed baseball cards, great care has been taken in the authentication process, with all the greater attention focused on any items representing a concentration of value. It is always possible that on rare occasions a secretarial or stamped signature could be missed here or there. Without this disclaimer, as a practical matter, it would not be possible for MORPY’S to offer such lots at all. All bidders bidding on such lots do so with this understanding. • Abbreviation/Definition/Condition Key: PR — Poor, GD — Good, VG — Very Good, EX — Excellent, NM — Near Mint, MT — Mint. NOTE: If an item has a multiple grade such as VG-EX, then that item falls somewhere in between those two conditions. GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective purchasers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential purchasers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions. It shall be the potential purchaser’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All purchasers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance (continued...)


bidder

Terms & Conditions that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions. JEWELRY AND WATCHES • Jewelry Descriptions and Condition Reports: Lots being offered are sold as-is on the day of sale. Condition reports, either written or verbal, are provided as a courtesy only, and are not to be taken as fact or guarantees of condition or quality of the lots. All information provided is the opinion of the specialist at MORPHY’S, including but not limited to weights, grades, color, and clarity. All gemstones and diamonds are measured and graded in their setting unless stated otherwise. All weights and grades are approximate. Buyers wishing to have a grading or gemological report from an independent, internationally recognized laboratory, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gemological Laboratories (AGL), may request one at their own expense or hire an independent adviser of their choosing. • Watch Descriptions and Condition Reports: The physical characteristics, timing accuracy or functionality of timepieces cannot be guaranteed, and all items are sold as-is. o Any condition statement reflects the condition of the watch on the date of the report. Condition can change from the time of the report to the day of sale. o Photographs are for identification purposes only. Buyers may not use them as precise indications of size or condition. o The origin or authenticity of all components cannot be guaranteed. o Watches with waterproof or water-resistant cases – MORPHY’S may open cases to develop descriptions, and cannot guarantee that any watch is waterproof or water-resistant at the time of purchase. MORPHY’S recommends that the buyer have a professional watchmaker evaluate the watch at buyer’s expense. o Buyers must be aware that watches may need general service, change of battery, or further repair work for which the buyer is solely responsible. o Dials - All watches have the possibility that after their original date of manufacture they received reconditioning or replacement of dials or elements of the dial such as but not limited to standard or luminescent hour markers, hands, script, date or measurement indices, lacquer, and finish. Buyer is solely responsible for determining and understanding such condition issues. • The lack of a condition report does not imply that the item or lot is free from imperfections, defects or wear and tear of the aging process. This includes but is not limited to: deficient stones, needed repair or defects. • It is common and generally accepted in the jewelry industry that some diamonds and most gemstones have been enhanced with various treatments to improve their overall appearance. o These treatments include but are not limited to: heating, dying, oiling, laser drilling, HTHP, wax, bleaching, irradiation, resin or polymer impregnation and various other techniques. o Unless stated in the title, it is assumed that one or more treatments have been performed to the stones. While many treatments are considered permanent, this cannot be guaranteed. o Please note that many treatments cannot be determined without sophisticated laboratory testing. Due to the various laboratories and developing scientific methods for testing, not all reports or certificates will have the same results for treatment type, extent of treatment and stability of treatment.

o MORPHY’S makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether natural stones have been treated or enhanced, whether specifically referenced or not. • Laboratory reports may accompany some lots o If a lot is accompanied by certificates or reports from internationally recognized and accepted gemological laboratories, it will be noted in the description. o Copies will be available upon request, with the original going to the successful bidder. o The reports cannot be guaranteed and are provided for informational purposes only. Results on reports may differ from laboratory to laboratory. o MORPHY’S accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, terms or information contained in such certificates or reports.

BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding. • ABSENTEE BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids if pre-authorized by mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions. com online. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid amount. Absentee bidding forms may be accessed online at www. morphyauctions.com. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. Bidders may preview, register and place bids online through our website, www. morphyauctions.com. Absentee and online bids placed through www.morphyauctions.com will be auto charged to the credit card entered 48 hours after the end of the sale. If you wish to pay by another method please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the MORPHY’S absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated. • ONLINE BIDDING - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions. com, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply.

bidder

Terms & Conditions floor, the floor bid takes precedence. If a credit card has been provided to one of the online bidding platforms, MORPHY’S reserves the right to use and charge the credit card if the winning bidder has not paid via another method by the 7 day term in Payment Terms below. Due to our fast paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, internet bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item actually sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally. • BID RESULTS – MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, packing and handling, shipping, insurance, and any other charges that apply.

In the few situations where a successful bidder does not remit payment when due, MORPHY’S will proceed with the legal steps necessary to protect its interests and will block the bidder from future auction participation.

PACKING/SHIPPING

• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items. • BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the purchaser at his/ her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the purchaser. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Packaging, shipping, and insurance on all items to locations that can accept shipments will be made available as an added courtesy and at an additional cost. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. All applicable charges will be applied to the invoice. Shipping will be based on actual costs via FedEx, USPS, or other carriers required based upon the contents of the shipment. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the items on each invoice. All packages will be shipped with insurance. Standard items packed internally by MORPHY’s will ship seven to fourteen (7-14) business days after payment is received. Oversize and breakable items, which will appear on a separate line of the invoice, will ship based upon a date our shipper partner will provide to the purchaser after payment and pickup of the items. MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. Again, if any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the purchaser. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • SHIPPING TERMS - MORPHY’S will ship all items to the buyer at the listed address via FedEx or other carriers, FOB Denver, Pennsylvania or FOB Las Vegas, NV or FOB other auction locations. Any risk of loss or damage to the item(s) during transit via FedEx, or any other carrier, in excess of the insurance provided by or purchased from MORPHY’S, is at the risk of the buyer. Any additional insurance coverage should be purchased by the buyer through the carrier. Buyer releases MORPHY’s from any and all claims for loss or damage to any item during transit and agrees to pay all costs of defense, including attorney’s fees, for any claims brought against MORPHY’S for loss or damage occurring during transit. • INSURANCE - Shipping insurance is automatically added up to $1,000 for every package. If your package is valued at >$10,000 we will also automatically add “Additional Insurance”, which you can decline by contacting us. If you wish to arrange for “Additional Insurance” for packages valued between $1,000 and $10,000 please contact us prior to payment and we can quote this additional insurance amount for you. Oversize and breakable items shipments include full insurance. Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. Insurance

provided or purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries. • INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S has the capability to ship to international bidders. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost.

As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. ∙ Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” ∙ USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size ∙ There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases. • BREAKABLE, DELICATE, FRAGILE ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to choose items and orders that it will pack, ship, and/ or insure directly using our shipping department.

THE RAYMOND B. BENTLEY COLLECTION Raymond B. Bentley was the consummate passionate collector, an accomplished and successful businessman, with a wonderful engaging personality and above all a gentleman of the finest class. Ray did not form a collection, he formed numerous collections, each pursued with the same great passion. His extensive collections included his spectacular, world-renowned collection of rare Winchester firearms, which was the finest ever assembled. In addition, Ray put together an extraordinary collection of elaborate silver trophies, probably one of the finest of its type in existence. Some of his other collections included: fine sheriff’s badges; rare fireman’s trumpets and equipment; “O” gauge and larger trains; various models including naval ships and military vehicles; military uniforms, hats, helmets and accessories, many having belonged to famous personage; his collection of saddles; collection of rare ammo; rare and fine pistols, swords and knives; rare vintage fire trucks; antique vehicles (particularly WWII vehicles), and other WWII memorabilia. He was a most patriotic individual and “God Bless America” was very much an anthem for his life. Ray was born on July 31,1935 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He graduated from Trenton State College and after college taught industrial arts for a few years. After deciding that teaching was not for him, Ray became a salesman, going out on the road selling steel and he became very successful in that industry. Becoming an outstanding steel salesman led Ray to a wonderful opportunity – in 1976, he purchased Adam Metal Products Company in Ledgewood, New Jersey, into which he put his heart and soul. His many years of hard work paid off and Adam Metal became a tremendously prosperous business for him. For over 41 years, he dedicated himself to both the company and the lives of his employees. Ray cared so deeply for his company and its employees, that he made sure that if something happened to him, the company would continue. Ray was a “man’s man,” tall, good looking and filled with energy and life. He was the quintessential gentleman; always began a request with “please” and ended it with “thank you.” He was very charismatic and he was a tremendous raconteur, he delighted in telling humorous stories and jokes. Ray was an extraordinarily passionate collector. His enthusiasm for collecting began with his interest in guns which started early for him as his father was a collector himself. In the 1960s, Ray began his gun collection and continued to collect for the rest of his life. His collecting interests eventually expanded into various other related categories, and it was of great importance to Ray to know the history behind each item he collected -- its origin, who it belonged to, its significance and rarity. Ray had a keen eye for detail and any items he collected needed to be of the finest quality and in excellent condition to become a part of his collections. Ray passed away on November 15, 2017 surrounded by his loving family. Ray’s family includes his wonderful daughter, Barbara Stoken, and her husband, Craig, together with his two grandsons, Garrett and Parker Stoken. Ray also had a very loving son, Lawrence Bentley, together with his wife, Amie. Ray had a brother, Edward, who spent many years working at Adam Metal with Ray and predeceased Ray by just a couple of years. Through his family, his company and his extraordinary collections, Ray has left behind a legacy of a life well-lived.

Signed: Lower left and with brass plate on verso “Marshall Johnson” Work Size: 24” x 32”. Framed: Molded Partial Gilt Wood. Minor spot in-painting throughout; primarily in the sky and a small patch at top of painting above the foremast. Provenance: From the Private Collection of a well-known Fine Art collector from Southern Maine. Note: This painting is very similar to Johnson’s “A Close Call” depicting the ship “Skylark” clearing Diego Ramirez off of Cape Hope.

The artist was originally a sailor, and was on board the ship “Sunbeam” which caught fire and sank off the coast of South America in 1870. He was one of the twelve sailors rescued from the shipwreck; an event that dramatically influenced his works. Framed: 26 -1/2” x 34 -1/2”. 5,000 - 7,000

This painting is described and illustrated on page 32-33 in the same publication. The full title of this work is “England’s Warship “Bellerophon”, Napoleon’s Home after Waterloo Colliding with Ship “Cygnet” in Gibraltar Harbor”. An interesting detail from the article states the following “With one exception - the tug - this painting depicts a true story. Napoleon surrendered to the British on the west coast of France on 125 July 1815 and was conveyed to Portsmouth, England in the “Bellerophon”. After three weeks there, he was transferred to the “Northumberland”, which ultimately transported him to St. Helena. Despite the anachronistic tug, Johnson painted a highly detailed, compelling and rare, nighttime scene. A copy of the pages in the publication accompanies this painting.

324 - ORIGINAL 1940’S WWII FLASH ART TATTOO PARLOR SALES BOARD. This is one of a lot of three original tattoo parlor hand-drawn flash art boards from the Chicago area. Two examples were retained privately with this one being offered for sale. They originated in the Chicago suburbs and were most likely from a tattoo parlor within proximity of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station or Fort Sheridan Army Training Center which were major centers of military activity during WWII. Tattoo parlors traditionally would hang sample artwork on the walls of their parlor with listed prices for military personnel to get their personalized tattoo. One of the boards had a tattoo dated 1940, so these would all be in that same era. Most of the examples on this board have the original prices and have been crossed out, but you can still see that the most expensive tattoo which was the large sailing ship was $24, the medium size tattoos were $6 and the smalls were $4.50. Each piece of artwork on this original board was hand done in color and would replicate a sample tattoo which could be changed and redesigned to fit the customers desire. Most have a war theme which was quite popular with new recruits joining up for service. This would have hung on the wall of the parlor until new designs replaced old ones or the parlor went defunct. They were of little value at the time and the majority of these were thrown out making surviving boards extremely rare, even more so for the large scale tattoos. The art of tattooing and the artist themselves have become synonymous today with style and fashion, and the original drawings are framed and used as artwork much like a famous oil painting. This early large board consists of ten examples of the artist’s renderings. The largest measures 6 - 1/2” x 6 - 3/4” and illustrates a clipper ship. Five others have naval themes, two have skull themes and two have unilateral military themes such as “Death Before Dishonor”. The board itself measures 14” tall x 20” in length. There has been no attempt to clean off any damage. You can plainly see that the artist used recycled boards to display his works. The corners are chipped where the board was simply tacked to a wall. While some collectors might attempt restoration, the period wear shows the disregard for the piece at time of conception. This is a fantastic opportunity to buy an original 1940 oversize flash art display board. Some collectors might desire to separate these pieces and display or sell individually, but it would greatly destroy the significance of this fine and historical piece. 23” x 17”. 1,000 - 2,000 325 - ORIGINAL 1950 & 60’S TATTOO FLASH ART. This was obtained from a Chicago Suburb estate. It represents a tattoo parlor sample board put up by the artist to show his works. It features nine individual hand painted tattoos and the yellow background was hand colored in. All feature serpents of some type, average height is 4” x 3”. It has been shrink wrapped and matted, ready for framing. Matted: 18 - 3/4” x 13 1/4”. 500 - 1,000

LOT - 658 658 - EXTREMELY RARE SILVER CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL FOR SURVIVOR “CHARLES TONG SING” OF THE “JEANNETTE” ARCTIC EXPEDITION OF 1879-1882. The round silver medal showing a three mast ship with the sails rolled and anchored to the ice, a group of men, dogs and dog sleds depicting the abandonment of the ship and the saving of some of its supplies. The reverse has an outer band reading “Jeannette Arctic Expedition 1879-1882” below this at the top center is engraved “To Charles Tong Sing”. The bottom half “In Commemoration of Perils Encountered and as an Expression of the High Esteem in which Congress Holds His Services. Act Approved Sept. 30. 1890.” The top bar and ribbon are missing but medal still retains the clasp that would have held it. Note: This medal was produced for either the survivors or the next of kin of those who had perished in the expedition. Eight gold and 25 silver medals were struck by the Philadelphia Mint and were probably designed by Charles E. Barber or George Morgan, chief engravers to the mint. The story of the expedition was recounted in an 1882 book “Arctic Lost Ship Shipwreck Jeannette”. The account of the expedition and its survivors caught the attention of the American public and caused Congress to act with this medal. The crew consisted of 30 officers and men with three civilians. It departed from San Francisco July 8, 1879. Shortly after September 4, it was caught fast in the ice pack near Wrangel’s Island. For the next 21 months, it drifted to the Northwest towards the North Pole, steadfast in the ice. On June 12, 1881 the pressure of the ice finally began to crush the Jeannette. It was at that time that provisions were unloaded and the ship sank the following morning. Three boats took off in hope of reaching the mainland. A storm blew up and one of the boats with eight men capsized and sank. The remaining two boats with 25 men continued on their harrowing, almost 2-year adventure, finally eight survivors found native hunters in Northern Siberia. They were then guided to the Russian settlement, Bulun, where they procured good sleds and used reindeer in the place of dogs until they reached the Siberian Railroad where they eventually made their way to St. Petersburg, then to London and onto New York where they arrived in the spring of 1883. Two of these survivors went insane as a result of this experience and shot themselves. The surviving six men became quite the celebrities and much was written about their exploits in their day. The recipient, Charles Tong Sing, was a ChineseAmerican and had served as Captain’s Steward on the ill fated expedition. He proved to be one of the strongest of the surviving men as noted in a 1902 Los Angeles Herald newspaper article which should be read along with articles included in provenance. There are some rim nicks and some toning on verso at top edge. 1 - 1/2” Dia. (Very Good - Excellent). 12,000 - 18,000

THE JEANNE CHERRY TENNIS COLLECTION Jeanne Cherry (1932-2017) was a tennis historian and passionate collector of tennis antiques. She wrote and published the landmark book Tennis Antiques and Collectibles in 1995, and left behind a nearly completed manuscript of a forthcoming biography of the 1920’s U.S. tennis champion, Helen Wills. Jeanne was a leading member of the Tennis Collectors of America and The Tennis Collectors’ Society in the U.K.; a friend, mentor, and inspiration to countless tennis collectors; and an indefatigable huntress of tennis-related treasures at antiques shows, flea markets and auctions both in the U.S. and abroad. The depth and diversity of Jeanne Cherry’s collection reflect her interest in the entire breadth of tennis history and its material culture. She acquired antiques relating to the game of tennis in every possible category—including books, ephemera, photography, equipment, clothing and accessories, toys and games, fine art, jewelry, decorative arts, and furniture. Driven by her keen intellect and unquenchable curiosity about all things related to tennis history, Jeanne was as much a scholar of the sport as she was an enthusiast. One of Jeanne’s favorite rituals was attending the tennis tournaments at Wimbledon with her husband Dr. James Cherry and their friends and colleagues. Another was attending the Brimfield Shows with her son, antiques dealer Jeff Cherry. While walking the hot and dusty fields of Brimfield on her final trip there in July 2016, she found and purchased one of the tennis cameos featured in this auction. Good things came her way, but even when the pickings were slim she reveled in the pursuit. Through her convivial nature, magnanimous outlook, gracious presence, and generous spirit Jeanne developed many friendships over the years, both within and beyond the antiques world. Now her enthusiasm will live on as the tennis antiques she once owned pass along to others to appreciate.

949 - UNIQUE AND HISTORIC TITANIC WIRELESS ROOM DISPLAY. This group is a collection of period apparatus and ephemera that makes up a reasonable replica of the Titanic Marconi. The contents include: 1) Circa 1910 Marconi Multiple Tuner Serial # 5133 - Restored in 1985 by Art Albion to original condition. This exact tuner appeared on the first color cover in the June 1987 issue of “Antique Radio Classified” (ARC). It has gained a wonderful patina over the last 33 years and would be the first Multiple Tuner to come to the U.S. public market-ever. 2) Circa 1908 Marconi Magnetic Detector Serial Number # 17733 Built by English Marconi Co., this is a beautiful example of an original “Maggie” and matches up with the above Multiple Tuner perfectly, and together they represent an accurate state-of-the-art Marconi Receiving station from the 1912 period. This fine example retains the original table mounting flanges, as well as its winding key and is in very good condition. 3) Circa 1912 American Marconi Co. Charging Panel, Serial # 3050, on a slate base mounted on a wooden backboard that contains a reading lamp assembly with a green shade and a Champion Motor Regulator, it is in good condition. 4) Circa 1890 Induction Coil for the Spark Transmitter by John Browning Co. Scientific Apparatus Maker - London. This is a beautiful spark coil, representative of a high voltage source for producing Hertzian waves. Built years before the advent of wireless, this fine instrument would have originally been used in a laboratory or school to power Crookes’ Tubes, Geissler Tubes, or experiments in high voltage insulation breakdown tests. In later years, it would work perfectly as a spark transmitter, and is in very good condition. 5) Two green shaded metal lamp fixtures that hung over the wireless operator’s desk, in working condition. 6) Original framed front page newspaper of “The Intelligencer”, Lancaster, Pa. from the day of April 15, 1912 announcing the sinking of the Titanic, the paper is nicely displayed on an easel with a light mounted on top, and is in very good condition. 7) Framed photo of G.

This special item is attractively displayed in an original silk lined case complete with a description on the outside of the case and inside on the silk.
