1018 - LARGE 19TH CENTURY STYLE PERCUSSION CANNON WITH ACCESSORIES. This is a large modern made - although very old - steel tube cannon in the style of popular 19th Century cannons of the pre-1860 era.

Its tube is 40” long and the bore diameter is 2-5/16”. The firing mechanism utilizes a percussion cap ignition system with a hammer-type striker. Once the cannon is muzzle loaded, one places a percussion cap on the nipple and then pulls the lanyard while standing on the right side of the cannon next to the wheel. This compresses a spring and the release of the lanyard allows the striker to hit the percussion cap with force to detonate the cap. Hardwood rammer, and pike handle with steel worm are included accessories. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish of metal parts is good with brown patina and scale. Metal tires of wheels in good serviceable condition. Smooth bore is dark with light pitting. Wood of carriage is strong and serviceable with some cracks to the hubs from weathering. Metal hardware very good with over 80% enamel paint coverage, with brown patina in places. Steel carriage bolts exposed at center of carriage under tube. This is an over-sized item and will require third party shipping. This would be an impressive piece at any range or fourth of July event.

1020 - SWORD CANE WITH 17TH CENTURY PASSAU-WOLF MARKED RAPIER BLADE Blade Length: 32 - 1/4” Overall Length: 37 - 3/4”

LOT - 1020

Using a 17th century rapier blade, this sword cane likely represents the use of a family or ancestral blade by a descendant in the early to mid-1800s, when a gentleman no longer went out obviously armed, but still felt obligated to carry a weapon. The cane body/scabbard and handle are wood. The handle curves down and narrows gradually to a point, imitating an animal’s horn and pointing to an owner’s status as a sportsman. At the base of the grip, a darker wood ferrule is inlaid with small bone disks bearing a dark ring and center eye. A spring catch secures the handle and body. The cane body is spiral bound in black leather producing a ridge and channel effect. There may have been a separately applied collar at the throat, perhaps with an owner’s name, only a narrow paper wrapping remains, probably to give it a tighter fit.

The blade is straight, double edged, and six sided in cross section with the central flat on each side shallowly channeled in the upper portion.

Further down on both sides four short, sunken rectangular cartouches are placed on the central flat at the lower mid-point of the blade. No interior markings are visible in them They may have been blank and intended only to lighten and stiffen the blade. The upper blade, however, clearly shows a blade smith’s running wolf mark on either side. Usually associated with the city of Passau, the wolf is rendered in cursory straight lines still retaining some gold-colored inlay. The form of the mark and the configuration of the blade suggest it came from an early 17th century rapier prized for its use of quality German steel. This is an interesting sword cane that repays study. CONDITION: Very good. The blade has a smooth surface, dull silver mixed with some thin gray in color. the edge is good and the markings distinct. The handle shows some handling marks and wear to the painted surface. The only fault to the blade is a very small portion of the tip that is bent. SR 1,000 - 2,000

1048 - WAR OF 1812 SILVER MOUNTED DIRK INSCRIBED TO GEORGE BUDD U.S.S. CHESAPEAKE. Blade Length: 10” Overall Length: 17” LOT - 1048 This dirk was formerly in the Lattimer collection and is Illustrated as Figure 70, in Silver Mounted Swords: The Lattimer Family Collection, by Hartzler. In the age of fighting sail dirks were often carried in action by midshipmen and by officers for convenience on cramped decks and in the close-quarters fighting of boarding actions. The dirk is silver mounted and nicely engraved. The pommel cap bears a floral/sunburst design engraved around the globulare capstan rivet of the blade tang. The sides of the pommel cap and a ferrule at the base of the grip have beaded bands with minute floral starbursts in between that mirror the design of the pommel cap. The grip is ivory, with spiral grooves. The quillons are recurved and flatten toward the tips. A portion of the thin leather washer remains on the underside of the guard. The curved blade has a long ricasso with a top edge flat extending 2.5 inches and a bottom edge flat 5.5 inches, emphasizing the middle-eastern influence on U.S. Navy dirks starting with the Barbary Wars of the early 1800s. The dirk blade is engraved on the reverse ricasso, “Lt. G. Budd U.S.N.” under an American eagle perched on an anchor. The scabbard is silvered brass with an acorn frog stud and an open-work, asymmetrical harp-shaped drag. The reverse of the scabbard is plain. The obverse is engraved with a draping wreath of oak leaves over the acorn frog stud, below which an American eagle with a U.S. shield on its breast clutches an olive branch and arrows under a sunburst of rays and stars. Below that is a ribbon bearing the word “Liberty,” under which are crossed anchors and a large, “US / NAVY.” Two entwined leafy vines extend up to this from the scabbard tip. The engraving is likely post-period and commemorative, perhaps done by the family, but we have no provenance anterior to its appearance in the Lattimer family collection. The specification of Budd’s rank as Lieutenant would be appropriate for the period of 1814-1820.

The dirk, as is usually the case, is unmarked and may date earlier. A native of Bush Town, Harford County, Maryland, George Budd was appointed Midshipman in the U.S. Navy 22 November 1805. In June 1813 he was the senior surviving officer of the U.S.S. Chesapeake after its disastrous encounter with H.M.S. Shannon, an action immortalized by American Captain James Lawrence’s last words: “Don’t give up the ship.”

Budd’s letter to the Secretary of the Navy detailing the action is reprinted in The Naval War of 1812, Volume 2. Budd made Lieutenant 23 May 1814. In addition to his service on the Chesapeake, in 1814 he was on the Sloop of War Ontario. Detached to command Fort Look-out at Fells Point, Maryland, he helped save Baltimore by repelling a British sea-borne attack of twenty barges with troops on the morning of September 14, 1814. He later served on the U.S. Frigate Java, was promoted Master Commandant 28 March 1820, and commanded the navy post at Erie in 1825. He died in Boston 3 September 1837. CONDITION: Very Good to Excellent. The grip has a crack extending from pommel to ferrule on the obverse that seems stable. Silver is uncleaned and has a pleasant, medium patina. The blade has a good edge and point, showing an old cleaning, but just minor gray areas with no pitting. SR 3,000 - 4,000

1053 - AMERICAN SCIMITAR WITH BLADE MARKED “ROSE”.

Blade Length: 16” Overall Length: 21”

LOT - 1053 Small American scimitar-blade dirk, stamped “ROSE” on the spine, green dyed ivory grip carved in a spiral with 3 different variations of depth.

Gilted brass crossguard with down turned quillons. CONDITION: Blade is smooth and grey with a few edge nicks, fittings and ivory grip in excellent condition. DG 1,000 - 2,000

1054 - SILVER MOUNTED DIRK WITH SCABBARD. Blade Length: 16 - 3/4” Overall Length: 22 - 1/2”

LOT - 1054 This silver mounted dirk features a smallsword type hilt with urn pommel and thin knuckleguard. The pommel is finely decorated with minute lines and half-moons or eye-brow stamps, and some small floral starbursts that are reflected in much grander fashion in engraving on either side of the quillon block. The wood grip mold is present, but only several sprung turns of the binding wire remain, consisting of one single strand and one twisted strand. The upper quillon of the guard is missing. The lower quillon was repaired. The upper loops of two pas-d’anes remain. A small oval silver sheath cap, decorated en suite with the pommel, is present with a thin red wool pad. The blade has a good point and no edge nicks. There is no pitting, but scattered dark gray areas and some brown toward the point. The black leather scabbard is solid, though showing crackling and finish loss. The silver mounts are good and in place, but show differing edge contours and engraving. The carrying ring on the middle mount has been repaired. A red collection number “472” appears on the blade near the guard and the scabbard mounts. Ex-Lattimer collection. Illustrated as Figure 56, Hartzler, Silver Mounted Swords. CONDITION: Good. Slight looseness to the hilt. Missing grip wire and elements of the hilt as described above. The sheath cap is rather small for the width of the blade and the scabbard throat, but examples of dirks with similar hilts are known. The fuller of the blade ends about 2-1/2” from the hilt, indicating that if a sword blade was reused, it was not shortened from the tip.

Naval officers of all ranks favored fighting dirks of this length from about 1790 to 1815, but dirks are known among army officers as well. One Napoleonic British artillery officer remarked on the carrying of dirks for field service where swords got in the way when on foot. SR 1,200 - 2,500

1055 - EARLY SILVER HILTED MASONIC SMALL SWORD INSCRIBED TO LODGE NO. 9.

Blade Length: 29 - 1/4” Overall Length: 35 - 1/4”

LOT - 1055

Probably third quarter of the 18th century. According to an article in ‘The Builder’ by Brother George W. Baird, P.G.M., District of Columbia, “When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid in Richmond in 1830, the then Grand Master of Masons, Robert G Scott, said “The campaign of this year is ever memorable for the capture of Cornwallis at Yorktown. In that village was Lodge No. 9, where after the siege was ended, Washington, LaFayette, Marshall and Nelson came together, and by their union bore abiding testimony to the beautiful tenets of Masonry.”

According to the article there was a Lodge No. 9, at Yorktown Virginia. It is now extinct and its records are not to be found. This makes sense for an organization with such secretive practices. The triangular straight tapered blade has a 10” section of decoration towards the top on all three sides with engraved and gilded floral scrolls. The wagon wheel style guard is pierced and of silver, the front is neatly inscribed “Lodge, No 9”. The back of the guard is engraved with decoration and rocker panel designs. The silver knuckle bow is flat on both sides; the right side is engraved with a sword which the left side is engraved with the Masonic symbol of a crossed compass and square, with an eye in the center. The brass pommel is round with relief chased designs on top.

The ivory grip is gadrooned and once wrapped with a decorative strand of wire. CONDITION: Blade shows a grey patina, tip is dull and was perhaps made this way. Blade shows generous traces of blued finishes and gilt finishes around designs. About half of the wagon wheel guard is missing and the remaining portion shows some deformation. Markings on guard are excellent. Pommel is slightly loose and hilt retains dark, undisturbed patinas. Grip shows some minor chipping around top and bottom, and some hairline age cracks, retains a nice honey patina. This may be one of the only remaining pieces associated with Lodge No. 9 and George Washington. A copy of the article about Lodge No. 9 as well as large photos accompany this sword.

1064 - ORIGINAL LIBERTY POLE WTH ETCHING, FOUND IN MASSACHUSETTES BARN. This early hand-carved Liberty pole was found in a Massachusetts barn and measures about 95” in length overall. The larger portion at the top, where the Liberty cap would have been placed, measures about 14-3/4”.

Farther down towards the base there is a section where it appears there were other bands or decorations, and there are three blacksmith forged nails still remaining. Accompanying the pole is an etching measuring 15-5/8” x 12-5/8”; the title is “Raising the Liberty Pole / A Sacred Symbol to the Sons of Liberty in Their Battle for American Rights”.

CONDITION: The pole is very dry and retains a dark, as found surface and patina. One side towards the portion at the top there is a large age crack as well as a series of small age cracks along the entire length of the pole. The entire pole shows hand carved tool marks and there is one chip missing towards the bottom. Some areas have a much darker crazed surface where it appears there may once have been paint. The pole certainly has great age.

Framed etching on the left corner there is an area of insect damage and there are a few scuffs on the face, also some areas of staining and discoloration. This is a very interesting and historic artifact.

President Lincoln spent considerable time reviewing the results of army courts-martial cases. He was especially interested in capital sentences, and the pleas made by ordinary citizens on behalf of men under military arrest and incarceration. Here, for unspecified reasons, he directs the release of “this boy” who had enlisted in the Union Army and received the standard bonus.

This comes from the well known Hazard collection, portions of which may be seen in several books on Civil War and Gettysburg relics. This exact relic is pictured on page 176 of “Gettysburg Battlefield Relics & Souvenirs by O’Donnell, Hazard & Boardman. This piece was originally in the Lee’s Headquarters Museum, the contents of which were sold 1999-2000. This bears both the original pencil inscription of the finder, A.B. Koser, who salvaged it from a tree cut down on Culp’s Hill in March 1877 and recounted that the tree had been struck at least 129 times, as well as a modern ink note on the provenance tacked to one side and a pencil inscription on the underside of the base, which was made to display the fragment upright and uses Gettysburg-found bullets as the feet as well. The wood itself was cut to display the 5 bullets that had lodged in the tree, and the original pencil inscription reads lengthwise. Culp’s Hill was the scene of intense fighting on July 2 and July 3. Anchoring the right of the Union’s “fish-hook” line, Union troops on Culp’s Hill fought off several Confederate assaults, which for decades after the war overshadowed the fights in the Union center and left. Mathew Brady expended a number of photographic plates in views of the Union defenses and bullet-scarred trees as comments on man-versus-nature and on the intensity of the fire. Veterans’ posts often exhibited “war logs,” which gave an idea of fire they endured by literally showing bullets and shell fragments arrested in mid-flight. This is a seldom-offered chance to acquire a real bullet-struck tree section from the war’s most famous battle. The piece is in very good condition and offers a rare chance to acquire a real, published, and well-provenanced relic of Gettysburg. SR 900 - 1,200 1069 - LOT OF 2: PIECES OF BULLET WOOD FROM CULP’S HILL AND REYNOLD’S WOODS, GETTSYBURG. Two excellent examples of wood taken from bullet-struck trees on the Gettysburg Battlefield. These were popular and much-sought after relics that testified not only to the intensity of the fighting, but struck a cord with some veterans and visitors as a comment on the destructiveness of war encountering nature as well. Each piece displays an embedded Minie ball and each bears an original pencil inscription on its find site. A) Bears a small glued label reading: “From / C.W. Davis / 1929 / LMX,” and a faint pencil inscription on one end: “Reynolds Woods” and the number “15.” This has been re-written more recently on the other end: “Reynolds/ Woods / Gettysburg / Pa.” to preserve the find location. This refers to the spot in the first day’s fighting where Major General John Reynolds, commander of the First Army Corps, was shot and killed while directing the deployment of Union troops. B) Preserves the outer section of a tree complete with bark. One end has an old ink inscription reading, “Culp’s Hill.” The base of Minie ball that appears to be a Confederate Gardner with a swage line where the cartridge paper would be clamped. Culp’s Hill was the scene of fierce fighting on July 2 and July 3 as Confederates sought to break the right wing of the Army of the Potomac. Only in recent decades has the fighting in the Union center and left come to overshadow that struggle in the public imagination. Mathew Brady, for one, spent a lot of time photographing the bullet-struck trees on Culp’s Hill. CONDITION: Excellent. Both examples are from the Charles “Hap” Hazard Collection. SR 800 - 1,200

1070 - LOT OF 2 TELEGRAMS REGARDING LEE’S SURRENDER AND APPOMATTOX RELIC. Lot consists of 3 items framed together. A) At left. American Telegraph Company telegrapher’s transcript in pencil dated April 7, 1865, at Philadelphia, reporting that “the bulletin announces as positive the surrender of Lee.” B) At right, American Telegraph Company telegrapher’s transcript in pencil dated 2:00 p.m. April 7, 1865, at Easton, cautious that, “The reported surrender of Lee although published in Phila and New York Papers as positive lacks official confirmation.” These are matted with an illustration of Confederate soldiers furling their battle flag. This is ready to display and offers a view of history as it happened with the people trying to sort out conflicting and overlapping reports. Lee’s army was in retreat when the telegrams were written on April 7 and hopes ran high that the war was LOT - 1070 finally at an end. This is from the collection of Charles “Hap” Hazard. who worked at the Baltimore Sun and must have appreciated the difficulties inherent in reporting rapidly developing events. Of course, Lee did eventually surrender 2 days later, on April 9 at Appomattox, in the parlor of Wilmer McLean’s house. The wood fragment may be from the McLean house or from a nearby tree that was sometimes erroneously recorded at the initial meeting place of Grant and Lee. SR 600 - 1,000 1071 - DEATH OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY BROADSIDE PRINTED BY JASON B. RODGERS. A period mock mourning card for the demise of the Confederacy framed with a pro-Confederate colored carte-de-visite of Confederate flags. This is a very interesting presentation of a Civil War mocking broadside posing as an obituary notice printed by James B. Rodgers at 52 & 54 North Sixth Street, a Philadelphia printer. Measuring an impressive 8-3/4” by 7”, the card has great visual appeal, printed in black, with a black border and black filigree corners, professing to announce the demise of the Confederacy, “near the south-side railroad on Sunday, April 9th, 1865.” It includes a 10-stanza rhyming epitaph.

No date is given, but it is significant that location of its death is given as the “near south-side railroad” rather than the much more familiar later designation of Appomattox. It is also telling for the date that Lincoln is designated as the “attending physician,” a bit of black humor that wold have been inappropriate after his death on April 15. This has been nicely matted on a piece of black fabric to simulate mourning crepe, on which at lower center is an original colored

LOT - 1071

carte-de-visite showing the Confederate first and third national flags with the Confederate battle flag at center, below which appear cannons and dismounted cannon barrels amid ruined stone walls with drums, swords, and a spade in the background. Period cartes-de-visite featuring Confederate flags show up with several different designs, some include a setting sun or clouds suggesting a vanishing dream, but they plainly express a southern sentiment and are marketed to a pro-Confederate clientele. The juxtaposition of the carte-de-visite with the mock mourning card is clever and suggestive bit of framing. SR 600 - 1,000 1072 - NEWS BULLETIN OF GETTYSBURG VICTORY. This is a wonderful “Daily Union Extra” newspaper report of the breaking news of the Battle of Gettysburg.

These “daily extras” were quickly hand-set by compositors in a newspaper’s composing room on small “job

LOT - 1072

presses” that would be used to literally “crank out” limited edition immediate reports of news as it was received from various sources. These are the epitome of “ephemera,” printed from long rolls of newsprint that might be posted or folded up in a pocket, but not intended to be a lasting record, though for us they are snapshot of very narrow moment in time. This one is based on Meade’s telegraphed report to General Halleck in Washington of the fighting on July 3, specifically Pickett’s Charge, and subsequent news, reports, and rumors of the retreat of the Confederate army, the capture of General Longstreet, etc., along with Lincoln’s slightly cautious announcement on July 4 that reports indicated the Union army had so far covered itself with the highest honor and the day should be a day of national thanksgiving. The headlines, of course, are not so reserved, reading “Glorious News! with a cannon firing a salute next to a U.S. flag and a number of sub-headlines recording the driving of the Confederate army for four miles, the capture of Longstreet (not exactly accurate,) and 3,000 men, including “a great number of officers.” The “Daily Union” part of the headline probably indicates this was printed by the Daily Union and Advertiser of Rochester, N.Y. A small addendum at bottom by their editors notes that General Wadsworth was unhurt in the battle. Wadsworth was from western New York and would be of significant interest to citizens in the Rochester area. This is has been professionally and archivally mounted and framed, displays impressively and is ready to hang. It is a remarkable survivor that conveys the immediacy and uncertainty of historically significant breaking news, in this case of the most famous battle of the Civil War. The reverse of the backing board bears some ink notations by a prominent Civil War collector. SR 800 - 1,200 29 www.MorphyAuctions.com | August 18, 2020

1073 - CONFEDERATE EPHEMERA FROM THE EFFECTS OF DAVID E. PENDLETON, A MARYLANDER IN THE 7TH VIRGINIA CAVALRY. This lot consists of about a dozen printed and manuscript copies of pro-southern poems and songs with a focus on Maryland. These come from the effects of David E. Pendleton, a Baltimore native who, like many, made his way across the border to enlist and serve in a Virginia unit. Pendleton was born in Maryland in 1844 and mustered into Co. A of the 7th Virginia Cavalry at Berryville, Va. on 11/1/62. The regiment was extremely active in the Department and the Army of Northern Virginia, serving in the Valley District in 1862 and 1864. CWData lists an astounding 620 points at which it was engaged with some loss including large engagements like Beverly Ford, Brandy Station, Upperville, Fairfield, and Gettysburg, and serving under famous leaders like Rosser, Hampton, and Fitz Lee. The collection includes a penny ballad titled “The Baltimore Rebel Song: 1776 versus 1861” and an 1861 newspaper poem titled “The Charge of the Night Brigade,” which is a satirical account of the brave arrest of Baltimore Marshal Lane by a rather large Union force at night. There are also manuscript copies of poems such as: “Dixie Southrons, Hear Your Country Call You” by Albert Pike; “God Save the South;” “The Flag,” by “a lady of South Carolina;” Rebel Poetry: Harpers Ferry to Baltimore;” and “Maryland Zouaves Own.” Many of the manuscript copies bear wartime dates and locations indicating they are personal copies transcribed from papers or other surreptitiously circulated manuscript copies. Pendleton was reportedly captured, “While charging his horse over the breastworks” at Reams Station 8/25/64. He was exchanged in February 1865, paroled after the surrender, and returned to Baltimore. He belonged to The Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States in the State of Maryland and in the 1880 census seems to be married with a wife and daughter and running a millinery shop. His name may be wrongly transcribed in the 1860 census as Daniel, in which cases he may be the son of wealthy Baltimore merchant and Virginia native Philip Pendleton. CONDITION: Very Good. Ex-Hazard Collection. SR 800 - 1,200

1074 - WONDERFUL RELIC OF THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN AND GEN. EARLEY AT YORK. This relic of Lee’s Invasion of the north during the Gettysburg campaign has been attractively and cleverly mounted in a double-sided frame. Matted at bottom is a Confederate 1 dollar bill. On the reverse, the mat is cut out to show the pencil inscription on the lined piece of paper on which the bill was mounted: “Rebels Entered York / June 28, ‘63 / Gen. Earley’s / [[Brigade, Ewell’s]] / Division / Gordon’s Brigade / about 9,000 strong” (The writer corrected himself on the identity of the soldiers.) This is from the collection of Charles “Hap” Hazard, who transcribed the inscription and added an explanatory note: “During the Gettysburg campaign, many Pennsylvania shopkeepers were forced to open their stores to invading soldiers who LOT - 1074 paid for their purchases in Confederate money. To commemorate the event, a long forgotten witness penciled a brief message on paper flued to the back of the bill saying...” This is amusingly framed with a colored period wood cut captioned at bottom, “Virginians on a Shopping Spree in Southern Pennsylvania, 1863.” Lee had published strict orders against looting, but official requisitions in exchange for receipts were permitted as well as payment in CS currency for privately purchased goods that most shopkeepers realized were going to go out the door one way or another. In this case, a rather nervous shopkeeper considers the bill preferred to him by a Confederate soldier with his purchase already under his arm, all the while smoking a cigar, as do many of his comrades, that someone else in the crowd had likely just found. At the bottom left men check out a crate of boots, while one fellow on the floor is trying on a pair. In the background trousers are being inspected, while several, others have made their way behind the counter to sample the selection of bitters. Hoops for ladies’ skirts were on offer as well. One hangs from the ceiling, while another is being modeled by a grinning soldier whose friend holds an open box, perhaps the source of the cigars being enjoyed all around. This is a wonderful relic, cleverly presented. The troops portrayed and the man who spent his bill would be summoned to rendezvous with the main Confederate army shortly afterwards at Gettysburg. SR 800 - 1,200 1075 - GETTYSBURG DEVILS DEN CANE WITH BULLET STRUCK HANDLE. LOT - 1075 This pyro-decorated battlefieldcut cane is illustrated on page 273 (right) of “Gettysburg Battlefield Relics & Souvenirs” by O’Donnell, Hazard, and Boardman, and comes from the Charles “Hap” Hazard collection. Souvenirs of the battle were gathered soon after it ended, and some perhaps while it was still going on.

Canes cut from the various locations on the field were exhibited at fund raising “Sanitary Fairs” as early as 1864 and became desirable objects for veterans and visitors to the battlefield. This one was cut at or near “Devil’s Den,” the rocky ground on the left of the Union line fought over on July 2, 1863, and was flame decorated with its find-location and date, “1891.” The handle of the cane is a separately affixed piece of wood carved to expose a bullet that lodged in it during the battle. The date is within the highpoint of visits to the field by veterans and dedications of regimental monuments. Battlefield-cut canes were among the many “useful and ornamental” historical relics available to the visitor. CONDITION: Excellent. SR 600 - 800

1076 - EXCEPTIONAL CIVIL WAR CARVED PIPE OF JOHN CRAWFORD CO. F 18TH NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS. Profusely covered with raised carving, this is a wonderful example of a favorite pastime of Civil War soldiers, carving pipes. From its design elements, this was likely done for the soldier at or near his muster out in 1863, since it bears his regiment’s last battle honor, but is likely wartime, since it prominently mentions General McClellan, whose star had faded considerably by war’s end. The pipe was carved by or for Private John Crawford of the 18th New York. One of the late Norm Flayderman’s projected books was going to be an examination of this art form. This one would have merited a prominent place. The pipe bears Crawford’s name and unit, the names of the first and last commanders of the regiment, the regiment’s battle honors, along with an eagle, flag, U.S. shield, and patriotic mottoes. The top of the bowl is circled with two names. Prominent on the front is “MAJ. GEN GEO.B. McCLELLAN SOLDIERS FRIEND,” positioned so that his name is at the center.

Whatever his faults as a general, McClellan did inspire devotion in his soldiers. On the reverse of the bowl at the top is “COL. W.A. JACKSON 1861’” first commander of the regiment, which mustered in 1861. This is matched lower down on the aperture for the pipe stem, below a stylized LOT - 1076 ribbon bow, by “1863” and “COL. GEO.R. MEYERS,” the date of the regiment’s muster out and their last commander. The face of the bowl is carved with a wonderful eagle with raised wings and a brass tack for an eye, perched on top of a U.S. shield with “LIBERTY” above the vertical stripes. A stars-and-stripes flag juts out at an angle to either side of the eagle. On the viewer’s left the flag bears the motto “RALLY ROUND IT.” The flag on the viewer’s right bears “18 N.Y.V.” Conforming to the edges of the U.S. shield, four lines of lettering reading: “JOHN CRAWFORD Co. F BULL RUN 1861/ WEST POINT MECHANICSVILLE GAINES HILL [sic] / SAVAGE STATION CHARLES CITY CROSSROADS/ MALVERN HILL BULL RUN CRAMPTONS GAP ANTIETAM FREDERICKSBURG 1862.” These battle honors are completed on one side of the bowl that bears a 6th Corps Greek Cross badge with two concentrate rings of lettering: 6th CORPS / GRAND ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,” and “FREDERICKSBURG 1863,” The other side panel has a medal carved in the shape of superimposed Maltese crosses with the motto: “THE UNION MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED.” While the Maltese cross was the badge of the 5th Army Corps, its presence here in the form of a medal is more likely to signify a medal for service. The 18th New York, nicknamed the “New York Rifles” recruited from several upstate New York counties, and mustered into service 17 May 1861 for 2 years service. It was at First Bull Run in 1861 and in 1862 took part in McClellan’s Peninsular Campaign as part of the 6th Corps, fighting in the Seven Days Battles and being hard hit at Gaines Mill. Returning with the army to the Washington area, it fought at Crampton’s Gap, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. In 1863, it fought at Fredericksburg with the 6th Corps in the attempt to relieve pressure on Hooker at Chancellorsville. The regiment mustered out 28 May 1863, having lost 4 officers and 34 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded. Crawford had enlisted at Albany on 4/19/1861 at age 26 and mustered out with the regiment on 5/28/1863.

A soldier defends the U.S. flag as a mob of ruffians attacks the troops. This is framed with 2 patriotic envelopes. 1 is titled, “Cain of Baltimore,” and shows Baltimore Marshal of Police George Proctor Kane with 2 funeral pyres labeled “Union” has a tall pillar of smoke, but that labeled “Secession” has begun smoking as well. The second envelope is illustrated by hand with a first national Confederate flag titled “Slavery!!! is our motto”. CONDITION: Excellent. B) Pro-southern satirical wood cut showing union troops at Fist Bull Run fleeing to Washington.

Figures are numbered with a key provided at bottom. Southern troops are at upper left with version of the CS national flag. Across the image the 12th NY and Zouaves are identified as well as Senator Wilson, who passes up the chance to help a wounded soldier, members of congress in a carriage led by a US dragoon blowing a trumpet, from which sounds “Home Sweet Home,” the “Hon. Lovejoy & Co. making for the woods,” with a “fat left-tenant” heading for Washington at right and “Gen. McDowell” in a 2-wheel cart whipping a horse to get away as well. CONDITION: Very good, in gilt wood frame ready to display. C) Photograph of “Old Abe, The War Eagle” in a Civil War period leatherette photo case embossed with an American eagle and shield. A postwar image of the famous eagle mascot of the 8th Wisconsin. Carried by their colorguard on his own perch, the eagle purportedly flew about the battle line and screeched while under fire. The eagle survived his army service and was a popular attraction and fund-raiser for veterans. CONDITION: Very Good, leather shows scratches and wear from handling. SR 300 - 500

1079 - 1863 DATED MEDIUM-HUMP C.S. RICHMOND RIFLEMUSKET LOCK AND TRIGGERGUARD. Lot includes an 1863 dated, low-hump Richmond lock and triggerguard with trigger and swivel. In April 1861 Virginia troops salvaged the machinery for making the Model 1855 Rifle Musket at the Harper’s Ferry Armory. Set up at the state armory in Richmond, this was offered for the use of the Confederate States in July. It produced a version of the Model 1855 that eliminated the Maynard tape priming system, but kept the same profile of the lockplate, producing early “high-hump” plates that made use of the standard service percussion caps awkward. In March 1862 the lock milling machinery was altered to lower the upper edge of the plate and a second cut was added, following the curve of the cone, to make capping easier. A) Scarce 1863 dated example of the lock with interior parts, lock screws, and washers. The plate is stamped “1863” with the correct “round serif” 6 and 3 at the rear, and C.S. Richmond, VA. forward. Probably made in early to mid-1863 since the die-strike does not show the damaged “8” occurring later in the year. CONDITION: Very Good for a Confederate arm. Surface corrosion overall but clear markings. Gray metal for the most part with brown showing corrosion. B) Triggerguard with trigger and sling swivel. CONDITION: Matching the lock and likely from the same rifle musket. Possibly an early battlefield pickup. From the Hazard Collection. SR 400 - 600 1080 - LOT OF 8: COLT AND OTHER BULLET MOLDS.

1081 - PIECE OF GENERAL LEE’S SADDLE ON WONDERFUL CARD LABEL. Like pieces of the True Cross, relics of Confederate leaders, from buttons to pieces of cloth, were venerated throughout the south as mementos of the “lost cause.” Nothing was more eagerly sought after or more reverently preserved than pieces associated with Robert E. Lee. This is a wonderful, little display mounted with silk ribbon showing the statue of Lee mounted on his horse, Traveler, with a crossed Confederate battle flag the Virginia state flag overhead. The graphics are in color and the silk is white. The ribbon probably comes from the 1890 dedication of the Lee Monument in Richmond. Mounted under the ribbon is a small piece of leather (roughly 3/8” square,) itself mounted on an old card 2-1/4” by 3-1/8” with a great brown ink inscription: “Piece of leather from the / saddle of General Lee / It has been through / the civil war. / From Mt. St. Mary’s College / Md.” This, of course, refers to what is now known as Mount Saint Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland, and the relic was likely the gift of an alumna with southern sentiments. This comes from the estate of a prominent Maryland collector with long-time connections to the Civil War collecting community and represents a seldom-offered chance to acquire a real Lee relic.

1094 - NEW YORK ARTILLERY BATTERY FLAG WITH ARTILLERY CAPTAIN’S SHOULDER STRAP. A scarce artillery battery flag. Guidons were officially sanctioned for individual batteries, but units seeing independent field service in the Civil War often adopted their own battle flags, by necessity scaled down somewhat closer to guidon size. The red silk field of this battery flag measures 23” by 17” exclusive of a silver fringe. The hoist shows four button or grommet holes. The central motif is a yellow applique outline of the New York state seal with the supporting figures of Justice and Liberty (the latter holding a liberty cap on a staff) with eagle-on-globe at top, “Excelsior” motto in ribbon underneath, and crossed cannon below that at lower center. Some line detailing of the figures is evident. The central part of the seal is oil painted with a scene of the Hudson River, showing mountains, the river and sailboats. This was mounted and framed within the past 40 years or so with an artillery captain’s shoulder strap at the bottom center.

The strap appears to have oxidized silver bars, which would date it to 1872 or later. The flag would likely date to the same period, but could be earlier, as LOT - 1094 the oil-painted central scene on the state seal might indicate. CONDITION: Good, but needing careful handling until re-framed. We have not examined this out of the current frame. Several older runs in the fabric, which is to be expected with an old silk flag, were repaired using tape on the reverse, which has bled through. A couple of others are not closed. These are more at the fly end and the field is largely intact, with no missing fabric and good color. The oil painting has extensive craquelure and some minor losses, again, to be expected of oil paint on silk. The shoulder strap shows good color to the velvet center and oxidation to the bullion border, but good color to the jaceron wire edging. This is a good flag that displays well and is worthy of some minor restoration. SR Frame: 23 - 3/4” x 29 - 3/4” x 3/4”. 6,000 - 9,000

This impressively presented document contains a scarce signed statement by Abraham Lincoln while he was a congressman. There are many, many notes and signatures from Lincoln’s time as a lawyer and even as President, but he served only 1 term in Congress, from December 1847 to January 1849. In this petition, dated December 7, 1847, at Washington, the newly elected Illinois Representative adds his name to those backing the reappointment of John Raub as a laborer employed by the House of Representatives. The petition consists of 2 sheets joined top to bottom, forming 1 long page. It bears the signatures not only of Lincoln, but other notables of the time, including D.W. Barringer, who shared a desk with Lincoln, Robert Schenk, a general in the Civil War, Washington Barrow, who was arrested by Tennessee Governor Andrew Johnson and released

by Lincoln in the Civil War, and, not least, future Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens. Addressed to the Doorkeeper of the House of Representatives, R.E. Horner, the petition is written and signed by Chester Butler, a Whig congressman from Pennsylvania: “The bearer Mr. Raub has been employed under your predecessor as a labourer and wishes to retain his situation. I was acquainted with his father who formerly resided in my District, but is now dead leaving his widow dependent upon this son. Mr. R. is a worthy young man and has been I am informed very obliging and attentive in the discharge of his duties. If you can with propriety, you would oblige me by retaining him in his present position.” Butler then signs the petition. 50 other congressmen then add their own signatures, a few with short statements. 48 of them, like Butler, are members of the Whig party. Below Butler’s signature, additional congressmen have added their names. A heading above this group seems to have been written by the first signer, J.W. Farrelly and reads, “The undersigned concur in the above request.” Farrelly then signs at lower left and 10 additional representatives sign in 2 columns. In addition to Farrelly these are: JE Brady; John Dickey, and Geo. N. Eckert in the left column, and JR Ingersoll, Jas. Pollock, A. Stewart, John Freedley, John Strohm, Alexander Irvin, and John Blanchard. The petition is lengthened by the addition of a second sheet pasted to it at bottom. Written across the top of this lower portion is, “I fully concur in this request– as I have long known Mr. Raub to [be] a most faithful and honest officer.” This seems to be written and signed by D.W. Barringer. Below this is a single line: “The undersigned concur in the above request,” apparently written and signed by Caleb B. Smith. Names below that are again divided in 2 columns, with Smith at the upper left, followed by Washington Barrow, Geo. G. Dunn, Geo. P. Marsh, Artemas Hale, Truman Smith, Henry W. Hilliard, Wm. M. Cocke, A. Lincoln, Jno. Crozier, J.G. Hampton, Henry Nes, Robt. C. Schenck, John W. Houston, CS Morehead, J.H. Tweedy, Bannon G. Thibodeaux J.G. Chapman, Dav. Outlaw, H. White. The right hand column contains, R. Donnell, John A. Rockwell, Alex. H. Stephens, James Dixon, James Thompson, S.D. Hubbard, J.L. Taylor, James A. Black, Danl. P. King, David Fisher, JR Giddings, RS Canby, Saml. F. Vinton, M. Hampton, John Crowell, N. Evans, R.W. Thompson, Amos Abbott. Lincoln is one of the few congressmen who have written short statements over their signatures. Most are testimonials to Raub. Although new to congress, Lincoln shows his political instincts in a characteristically cautious statement: “I concur, on the faith of what the above named gentlemen have said. A. Lincoln.” There was obviously some party favoritism and loyalty involved in the petition and Lincoln was willing to go along, but wanted to make clear he had no first hand knowledge of the man. Interestingly, one of the few other signed individual statements is by Alexander H. Stephens, seconded by James Dixon: “I should be pleased to see the applicant retained,” a statement that also avoids any outright testimonial for Raub. Stephens became the Vice President of the Confederacy just fourteen years later. A proponent of the expansion of slavery and author of the famous Cornerstone Speech linking the Confederacy to it, 18 years later Stephens would meet with Lincoln in a vain effort to reach some compromise peace proposal to end a war that cost 600,000 lives. The petition is presented impressively and ready to display. The overall frame is matted with subsidiary interior frames holding a large portrait of Lincoln and printed biography along with the document at right, and with 25 smaller framed images of other signers with name plates below each at left. (One portrait may actually be that of Jared Ingersoll instead of J.R. Ingersoll.) A certificate of authenticity is enclosed in sleeve attached to the reverse of the frame.

CONDITION: Excellent. Minor folds, a few period ink blots. Lincoln’s statement and signature are well positioned in the middle of the left hand column on the lower sheet. The page has some added pencil notations of the states represented by the various signers, but these are not obtrusive.

1 very small hole at the intersection of 2 fold lines. If there are separation lines, they are not evident. We have not disassembled the frame. A slight bleed-through at upper left may indicate a docket on reverse. The signatures have good color and solid lines. SR Frame: 56 - 1/4” x 37” x 1 - 1/4”. 6,000 - 12,000 40

LOT - 1097

1097 - FRAMED ABRAHAM LINCOLN AUTOGRAPH SIGNATURE. This bold signature by Lincoln uses his full first and last name, the formal manner he reserved for official documents and communications of special importance, rather a simple first initial and last name. The signature has solid lines with good color and there are no folds or creases. The very tips of the lower ends of letters in a line above show at the top of the matted opening, but do not interlude into the signature. A small red mark at bottom might perhaps be from an official seal.

Presidential signatures were required on a number of government appointments, military commissions, etc. This was certainly removed from one of those to preserve it. Andrew Johnson’s signatures were often placed on documents with an ink stamp.

With Lincoln’s signature, you can feel him move the pen across the paper or vellum.

This is nicely presented in a double mat with a portrait of Lincoln and a small display card in a gilt-edged frame with raised floral scrolls, ready to display. SR Frame: 22 - 3/4” x 15 - 1/4” x 1”. 3,000 - 6,000

1106 - LOT OF 5: LETTERS FROM GENERAL SHERMAN DATED 1871-1881.

Lot consists of 5 autograph letters signed from General William Tecumseh Sherman to Senator Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont.

All are on “Headquarters Army of the United States” letterhead.

Sherman needs no introduction.

Morrill was a Representative from Vermont 1855-1867 and Senator 1867-1898. He was active in the Whig Party and a founder of the Republican Party. He sponsored the Land Grant College Act and was on the Joint Committee on Reconstruction, which drafted the 14th Amendment. (A) Dated 1/26/71 4 pages ink with envelope. A very interesting letter regarding debates on LOT - 1106 incorporating San Domingo into the U.S. Morrill had requested information on the “sanitary condition” of British troops posted there. Sherman asks not to be pulled into political debates but furnishes the requested data and information regarding potential death rates among U.S. soldiers, black and white, who might be posted there, as well as observations on a failed attempt to settle a colony there. (B) Dated 5/11/74 4 pages ink. Letter regards the choice of a sculptor for the statue of Farragut. Sherman expresses a preference for a sample bust by Vinnie Ream, but is willing to defer to the choice of Mrs. Farragut, who apparently prefers “Simmons,” certainly Franklin Simmons (1839-1913). (C) Dated 2/19/75 4 pages ink. Letter thanking Morrill for his help “in the matter of the diamonds.” The Khedive of Egypt had presented Sherman’s daughter with an expensive necklace as a wedding gift, this posed a problem to Sherman as gift to a public official and then to his son-in-law as came to payment of duties and then state taxes. Even the Khedive’s suggestion that the diamonds were meant as individual gifts to Sherman’s daughters left the initial intended recipient, Sherman’s daughter Minnie, dissatisfied and led to some family strife. Sherman uses the amusing analogy of a man being given an elephant as gift. (D) Dated 2/26/76. 2 pages, ink, with envelope. Letter accompanied text of an address given at Washington University that mentioned Morrill, likely in the context of his work for colleges. (E) Dated 2/3/1881. 1 page, ink. Letter accompanied 3 military books and notes: 1 is a gift, and 2 are office copies to be returned. CONDITION: Excellent. Clear, legible brown ink autograph copies with nice signatures. (A) fold line through “General” subscript to Sherman’s signature. (C) fold line through “your friend” above the signature. SR 2,000 - 3,000

LOT - 1110 1110 - ATTRACTIVE CAPTURED MEXICAN STAFF OFFICER SWORD PRESENTED TO 2ND NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS LIEUTENANT J.S. MCCABE Blade Length: 34 - 1/4” Overall Length: 39 - 3/4” This is a very interesting and unique Mexican War presentation sword. This is a high quality sword that does not display any maker marks but is most likely of European origin and made for a Mexican officer. This sword is one of a group of Mexican officer’s swords that were captured and used as presentation swords for American officers. The scabbard displays the wonderful presentation inscription between the ring mounts: “Presented to / Lieut. J. S. McCabe / by his Company / for his Gallant Conduct in different battles in / Mexico 1847.” The letters “L.P.” are engraved right underneath the inscription and they are most likely the initials of the engraver. The scabbard’s construction is of nickel silver with plain brass mounts. The sword has a quill back blade that is single edged and etched about half of its length on both sides. The etched decorations include floral and scroll motifs, a wide range of arms and armor, and is complete with a Mexican eagle perched on a cactus with a snake held in its beak in the center of the etchings. The brass hilt features a large half-basket knuckle guard that resembles a scallop shell with 2 rosettes at the base in the front and a folding counter guard panel on the back. The fish skin grip is wrapped in twisted brass wire that has only come loose if a few areas. The presentation on the scabbard is the highlight of the sword. Lieutenant McCabe’s history is quite interesting. James S. McCabe mustered into service as the adjutant of the 2nd New York Volunteer Infantry in November 1846 and served with the regiment through the duration of the Mexican War until the regiment mustered out in August 1848. McCabe was listed as being wounded at Churubusco. There is a a brief history of the 2nd New York Volunteers included with the sword that lists Mccabe being present at Vera Cruz, Nueva Ranche, Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Churubusco, Chapultepec, and Garita de Belen. This is a very unique, documented piece of history from the Mexican War. CONDITION: Overall very good.

The blade retains most of its original glossiness, but appears to have been cleaned at some point. There is minor staining but the blade remains attractive. The etching on the blade is crisp in some areas and weak in others. The grip shows light wear, specifically where the twisted brass wire has come loose. The scabbard and mounts only display light scratches and staining but has a nice patina. The inscription is crisp and intact and is in excellent condition. JD L: 39 -1/2” 8,000 - 12,000

Binding wire is in place. Ames maker stamp on reverse ricasso. A little rubbed on left. Clear DR / 1862 inspection stamp on obverse ricasso. Blade with good edge and point.

This example escaped detection for some years and was in the Medicus Collection and sold by Flayderman, whose letter revealing its true history accompanies the lot.

1120 - U.S. MODEL 1832 AMES SHORT SWORD DATED 1843 ON ORIGINAL SWORD BELT. Blade Length: 19” Overall Length: 25”

LOT - 1120 This is a beautiful example of a popular U.S. Army sword with its original scabbard, white buff belt, and buckle. Modeled on the French 1816 pattern for artillerymen, it was adopted in 1832. The blade on this example is bright, with excellent point and edge showing very minor nicks and no sharpening. The fullers are crisply defined. Largely a mirror finish, there are just some slight gray stains near the lower pair of fullers on either side and a little freckling at the ricasso. The Ames eagle and N.P. Ames / Springfield are light along the top of each lone on 1 side, but the “U.S. / 1843” marking and the J.C.B. inspector’s marks on the other side are sharp. The brass hilt has medium tone, with good definition to the eagle on the pommel and crisp “W.A.T” inspector stamp on the guard side flat. The eagle-feather grip shows just minor handling marks. The guard channels are crisp. The regulation black leather scabbard has its mounts in place. The seam is tight. The leather has good color and surface. There are no bends, breaks, or creases.

Ames produced just 1,000 in 1843 on a March 25 U.S. contract All were delivered by July and seem to have gone to states. This is an excellent example dating before the Mexican War and like most in state hands remained in this earlier configuration even after 1851. CONDITION: Excellent overall, just minor gray and some freckling at the base of the blade near the guard. SR 1,000 - 2,000

LOT - 1131

An updated edition of “The American Spirit” was published in 1994 by Rutledge Hill Press. “Images of the Civil War - The Paintings of Mort Künstler”, with text by Pulitzer Prize winning author James McPherson, was published in 1992. “Gettysburg - The Paintings of Mort Künstler”, also with text by James McPherson was published by Turner Publishing as a companion piece to the epic feature film and mini-series “Gettysburg”. In 1993, a one-hour television special, entitled “Images of the Civil War - The Paintings of Mort Künstler”, was shown on the A&E network. Both of these prints are out of print and very special attention was paid to the framing and matting. A great pair of limited prints from a master of Civil War images. Both items are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Largest Framed: 37” x 33”. 400 - 600 1132 - AMES 1832 ARTILLERY SWORD WITH SCABBARD DATED 1835.

Blade Length: 19” Overall Length: 25 - 1/4” Introduced as a short sword for use by artillerymen and by infantry sergeants, the 1832 LOT - 1132 pattern was eventually limited to use by foot, or heavy, artillery, though a few have been found in naval contexts during the Civil War, such as on the wreck of the U.S.S. Cairo, indicating they were found useful as ad hoc cutlasses. This one bears an N.P. Ames / Springfield stamp under a slightly rubbed Ames eagle on 1 side of the ricasso and a United States / 1835 stamp on the other. The blade and hilt are the standard configuration, with the pommel bearing an eagle on either side and the grip imitating scales and secured with 3 rivets. The blade has a good edge and point. No nicks to the edge. The metal is smooth, with no pitting. The surface is steel gray with darker gray clouding overall. The scabbard is solid, with mounts in place. The leather surface shows crackling and some losses with a fold or crease just above the drag that nevertheless seems firm. The throat is missing the fastening stud.

A nice Alamo era sword that may well have seen action in the Seminole Wars, where artillery was often assigned to infantry duty, and Mexican War, as well as the Civil War. CONDITION: Good to very good. Inspector cartouches are visible on the underside of the crossguard. SR 800 1,200 1133 - GENERAL ULYSSES S GRANT’S LIEUTENANT GENERAL SHOULDER STRAPS, CIRCA 1864 - 1865.

A very rare pair of Civil War “Major-General-Commanding-the-Army” shoulder straps.

This rank and insignia - using the 2 stars of a Major General with a third, larger star between - came into use in 1855 to distinguish the senior general in overall command of the army and was first awarded to Winfield Scott. The number of officers entitled to wear it during the period was extremely limited: generals Scott, McClellan, Halleck, and Grant. Grant, in fact, was given the rank of Lieutenant General and General Commanding the Armies by Lincoln in March 1864, but used this insignia of “Major General Commanding” until the new insignia using 4 stars was implemented in 1866.

These straps conform to the standard wartime construction, using an open back, black velvet base to signify staff and general officers, gilt bullion borders with gilt jaceron edging wire inside and out. The silver embroidered stars are raised high and prominent, as befits the rank. The borders are plain by comparison, using a single border that avoids alternating dead and bright bullion. The wartime nature of the straps and their avoidance of ostentation suggest Grant as the owner and a time-frame of 1864-1865.

Several other sets of Grant straps survive, including a rather fancier version of these.

LOT - 1133 The straps measure 1-3/4” by 2-1/4” with interiors of 7/8” by 3-1/2”. The smaller stars measure 5/8” horizontal tip to tip. The larger measures 7/8”. CONDITION: Excellent. Slight wear to nap of black velvet on one inner corner. Slight lifting to one end of jaceron wire on outer short border. Black velvet base trimmed at exterior edges. Gold bullion borders have oxidized to a muted silver similar to the stars. The jaceron wire retains its gilt. SR 3,000 - 5,000 54

The full length, 21” blade shows only manufacturing flaws in the metal. The hilt is in flawless condition with “CSN” cast into the pommel cap. When found, the scabbard had disintegrated into fragments (probably thereby preserving the blade, but still attached was the original canvas and leather frog for the scabbard). Provenance: Ex. coll. Ralph Arnold.” The frog mentioned in Mr. Michel’s notes was unfortunately sold separately and is no longer present.

LOT - 1143 1143 - RARE AMES CORPS OF ENGINEERS SWORD. Blade Length: 31 - 1/2” Overall Length: 37 - 1/2” Very rare 1840 Pattern US Engineer 1840 officer’s sword. The small and elite Corps of Engineers drew top graduates from West Point.

At the time of this sword’s introduction there were only 39 Engineer officers in the army, who played a key role in the country’s security in building forts and public projects, and mapping the country’s westward expansion. This pattern was adopted for the corps shortly after the topographical department was split off into a separate organization (until 1863). The corps was small to begin with and even more so during the Civil War as Engineer officers were given command positions in other organizations, drawing 26 of 46 officers away from those serving under the Chief of Engineers, and rather than compromise the quality of his officers, the Chief Engineer only increased recruitment from the top talent at West Point rather than bring in officers from other departments. The Corps was small and elite, and its swords are correspondingly rare. SR This sword uses a triangular epee style blade reminiscent of a European small sword, but with the quintessentially American motif on the gilt brass hilt of a coiled rattlesnake, which winds around the grip, its head at the pommel and tail with rattles at the base, resting inside the counterguard. The knuckle bow is flat, with floral motifs at top and bottom and a star at center with clouds above and below, from with Roman legion style thunderbolts dart out.

Folding plain counterguard with stippled surface on reverse. Obverse with raised Engineer castle at center, 26 stars at left, large single star at right that unwinds in a floral spray along the lower edge. Black leather scabbard has gilt brass mounts with much original gilt, matching the hilt.

Blade is hollow ground, etched with military and floral motifs for twenty inches in each channel. Reverse blade channel etched “N.P. Ames / Cutler / Springfield” at base, with floral spray above, “U.S. Corps of Engineers” in oval cartouche with sunburst ends, panoply of arms with prominent liberty cap, American eagle with ribbon, stars and sunburst, terminating with leafy vine. Obverse channels with floral motifs and martial panoplies of arms. CONDITION: Very good to excellent. Black leather scabbard body is a well made replacement, which is acceptable since the scabbards are narrow and the thin leather is often broken. Mounts are original with much gilt, matching the hilt, showing just some light rubbing on edges of upper mount. U.S. Shield frog stud is in place. Blade is bright. Thin frosting is intact, making etched motifs very visible. Just some scattered gray spots on the upper blade, well away from the etched panels. An extremely scarce sword in extremely good condition. SR 6,000 - 8,000 1144 - LOT OF 3: US CIVIL WAR NAVY CUTLASSES, 2 SCABBARDS. Blade Length: (ALL) 26” Overall Length: (A) 32” (B) 34” (C) 34 - 1/2” Lot consists of 3 regulation U.S. Navy cutlasses of the pattern usually designated 1860, but now known to be 1861. (A) 1861 dated, first year of Production.

Ames maker stamp is visible.

Serial numbered inside guard M/85 (=1085) a very early production cutlass. CONDITION: LOT - 1144 Very good. Markings are clear.

Edged and point are good. Blade is clean, smooth metal. Cup hilt with no dents. Grip wrap and wire may be replaced, perhaps blade pad too, but this is a scarce date and in very good condition. (B) As Above. USN/DR/1862 crisply marked on ricasso with light “2.” Ames mark very faint. Serial number 14M685 inside hilt.

DR inspection stamp on pommel as well, with rack number 80. CONDITION: Very good. Blade has just minor spotting. Good edge and point. Cup hilt with no dents or damage. Grip wrap original. Wire missing, as is usually the case and purportedly done by order aboard ships. Scabbard is very good, but is a 1917 or klewang style. These cutlasses were still on board US Navy vessels into the 20th century and this could be a legitimate navy replacement. (C) As above, but with original USN Civil War riveted scabbard. Ames blade mark light but visible. Crisp USN/ DR/1862 stamp. Serial number 25M96 (9 is light). DR inspector mark on pommel as well. CONDITION: Very good. Blade shows gray areas but with good edge point. Minor dents to cup guard. Grip wrap original with minor wear. No wire which is acceptable on these. Scabbard is scarce and very good, with minor finish loss, but no breaks and frog stud in place. A nice group of of Civil War issue cutlasses, with a scarce scabbard.

1146 - FRAMED GROUP OF CIVIL WAR FLAG FRAGMENTS FROM THE 1ST MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY AND GRANT’S HEADQUARTERS. A very attractive, gilt-wood framed group of flag fragments assembled by a Civil War veteran, likely for display at his G.A.R. Post.

The fragments are from 4 flags. Pieces are a mix of red, white, and blue sections, some bunting and some silk, with a piece identified as from their state flag that is more a faint grayish-green. 1 is from a flag flown at Appomattox; the other 3 are flags from the veteran’s own regiment, the First Massachusetts Infantry. The pieces are matted and mounted on an off-white cloth background and are identified in ink on thick, gilt-edged display cards that are stitched in place to the cloth background. The display was assembled by George Haines, a veteran of the 1st Mass., and likely dates about 1890-1900. The cards read as follows. Upper right: “Flag at Grant’s Headquarters when Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant 1865.” Middle Left: “Flag carried by First Mass. Reg’t when they left for war 1861.” Middle right: “State Flag carried by First Mass. Reg’t” Lower left: “Presented to First Mass Reg’t

by Citizens of California.” Lower right: “George E. Haines Company D. First Mass Vol. Infantry.” Haines was 21 years old and worked as an iceman in West Roxbury when he enlisted on May 22, 1861 and LOT - 1146 mustered into Co. D of the 1st Mass Infantry on May 24. He was promoted to corporal and was mustered out May 25, 1864 at Boston. He died in 1907. The regiment was a very hard-fought unit in the Army of the Potomac, serving in the 3rd Army Corps and then the 2nd Army Corps. It lost 8 officers and 134 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded from its muster in May 1861 to its muster out in May 1865. It suffered its first losses at Blackburns Ford, just before First Bull Run, and fought at First Bull Run, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Nelson’s Farm, and other fights of the Seven Days, Second Bull Run (where it took part in Grover’s bayonet charge) Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Spottsylvania, among many other engagements. The flag fragment from Appomattox was likely obtained from a G.A.R. comrade. The flag from residents of California was presented in 1861 and is mentioned in the regimental history: “Boston citizens and resident in California having contributed to present the regiment a handsome silk banner, on the 6th of July it was brought into camp, and formally given inot Col. Cowdin’s charge by Senator McDougal of that distant state. Speeches were made by the bearer, recipient, Col. Ellis, Col. Wells, and others; and the exercises closed with the usual dress parade.”. CONDITION: Frame has some imperfections is missing pieces in various areas but the construction is still sturdy. This is a very attractive display of flag fragments as preserved and mounted by a veteran of a fighting regiment. SR 800 - 1,200

1147 - FRAMED GROUPING OF GETTYSBURG RELICS WITH BATTLE LITHOGRAPH. A spectacular framed grouping of Civil War buckles and buttons actually recovered, many years ago, on the battlefield of Gettysburg. This display, consigned from the estate of a prominent Maryland Civil War collector, prominently features at bottom a Confederate “wishbone” frame buckle with its original brown ink tag reading “Rebel,” and noted on the reverse of the frame to have been found in the 1870s near the “Angle,” which (as every student of the battle knows) refers the the angle of of the stonewall on Cemetery Ridge defended by Union forces and the target of Pickett’s Charge. The collection has been archivally and professionally framed and mounted with a colored lithograph of James Walker’s famous painting of the climax of Pickett’ Charge, published by the “National Art Company in Boston.” Below this are mounted 4 buttons recovered from LOT - 1147 the battlefield. From left to right, these are a Confederate Block-A artillery button, a U.S. general and staff officer’s button, a North Carolina state seal button, and a New York state seal button, representing the CS and US services and 1 southern and 1 northern state prominently involved in the battle and the war. Between these buttons are mounted a U.S. oval plate at left and right, and a classic Confederate general service belt buckle termed by collectors a ”wish-bone frame buckle” from its simple, but effective open construction and use of 2-pronged tongue. All 3 buckles are in very good condition, and as noted the Confederate buckle retains a very nice label, certainly indicating it is an early battlefield pick-up. We have not examined these out of the frame to see whether the US plates are buckles or cartridge box plates. The plate on the left still has some leather behind it and may be a box plate. The one on the right seems to be a buckle. Either way, these are Gettysburg plates with an impeccable provenance. SR 1,500 - 2,000

1148 - IDENTIFIED THIRD MAINE OFFICER’S SWORD: DIED OF WOUNDS AT SPOTTSYLVANIA. Blade Length: 30 - 1/2” Overall Length: 37” LOT - 1148

A nicely identified Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword carried by an officer whose life was marked by tragedy and duty. A wonderful, period, completely original brown ink label pasted on the scabbard reads in bold script: “Capt. A.S. Merrill” and “Comp. D 3d Regt / Maine Vols.” The sword is the standard configuration with brass hilt showing cast and chased floral motifs with a beautiful, untouched patina matching that of the scabbard mounts. The scabbard is black leather, top stitched, now slightly oxidized to brown, showing incised border lines. The body is solid, with no bends or breaks, just minor scuffs and some cracking, but no finish loss. The sword grip is thick black leather, and still retains its twisted wire binding. The blade is muted silver, frosting turning slightly to gray, but with very visible etching. The reverse ricasso has a blank cartouche for a retailers mark. The etched motifs are large and profuse: floral scrolls, curved latticework, and Arabesque cartouches. At reverse center is a broad, spread-winged American Eagle with an E Pluribus Unum ribbon. The obverse has a large “US” in place of the eagle. The blade pad is missing, but blade and hilt are tight. There are some gray spots on the obverse near the tip and a few along the edge on either side and at the ricasso, but only one touches the end of a geometric scroll. Alfred S. Merrill, a resident of Bath, Maine, enlisted at 32 in the 3rd Maine Infantry and mustered in as a sergeant in Co. D 6 April 1861. Promoted 4th Sergeant to 1st Sergeant 1 September 1861; 2nd Lieutenant 21 September 1861; 1st Lieutenant 5 November 1861; Captain on 27 October 1862. During this time the regiment fought at Bull Run, Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, 2nd Bull Run, and Chantilly. Merrill would have had the sword for all except his first engagement. In November 1862 Merrill sought in vain to resign his commission: “My wife being dangerously sick and not expected to live but a few days.” He was granted, instead, a twenty-day leave.

Lt. Col Lake noted, “This officer has not been absent from the Regt since its organization and has always been faithful to his duties until now this trouble oh his mind renders him unfit to attend to them.” It is unclear if Merrill returned in time to fight at Fredericksburg, but he returned in time to be “present” on the November-December muster roll, perhaps hoping for his wife’s recovery. He never saw her again: Abby N. Merrill died in Bath 14 June 1863. Merrill is listed as present on the rolls for all of 1863, when the regiment fought at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, where they had heavy casualties on July 2nd. He received a fifteen day leave in early 1864, but returned to the regiment in time for the Wilderness and Spotsylvania. On May 10, at Spotsylvania, he was wounded and fell into Confederate hands, but died the next day. His body seems to have been recovered, and he was interred next to his wife in Bath. This is a sword with a very interesting personal and battle history. SR 2,500 - 3,500

1149 - FRAMED EAGLE BUCKLE FROM BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS. The brutality of the fighting in the Wilderness as Grant launched his overland campaign against Richmond in May 1864 was exacerbated by fires created by the gunfire. Lee attacked Grant in the heavily wooded zone where the larger Federal army would be unable to deploy and use its superior numbers to advantage.

Sparks from gunfire ignited underbrush and increased the horror of the nightmare conflict engulfing or threatening to engulf some of those too badly wounded to move. Framed between copies of the Alfred Waud drawing of Union soldiers improvising stretchers to carry off wounded comrades amid the LOT - 1149 flames and the Edwin Forbes sketch of the Sixth Corps fighting in the woods, is a Union rectangular eagle sword belt plate, mounted with the label (modern) below reading, “Fire in the Wilderness.” The buckle shows a break in the side bar and denting at the lower right that suggests it may have been bullet-struck before experiencing the heat of the fires in the woods. The buckle is the regulation 1851 configuration specified for officers and enlisted men carrying swords, but shows by a now-missing separate wreath at bottom that it is an enlisted man’s belt plate. The pattern was regulation as well for infantry sergeants (and worn by some corporals as well,) so it was likely worn by one of the many infantrymen in the fighting, which was largely infantry combat.

CONDITION: This is a very telling relic, professionally matted and framed, that is ready to hang. PROVENANCE: From a well-known and respected Maryland collector’s estate. SR 500 - 900 1150 - FRAMED STAR FROM BATTLEFLAG CARRIED AT GETTYSBURG. This embroidered star on blue silk was cut from a Civil War battleflag and mounted on an album page that was later individually mounted in this oval frame. On the bottom edge of the album page in old ink is written, “Star from flag during the battle on the field at Gettysburg Pennsylvania from C.W. Yancy of New York.” This is from the collection of Charles “Hap” Hazard and comes with an 1989 letter detailing its purchase, noting the only alteration is cleaning of the glass and replacement of old nails. Hazard added his own note to the reverse of the mount “This Star was cut from a regimental Battle Flag carried in the War of the Rebellion-1861-1865-/ It is glued to an old sc[r]ap book page, later removed from the book. The star is of the type used at that time by the tiffany Co. of New York and the Canfield Bros. Co. in Baltimore, both of whom made flags and other military items. Charles Yancey, listed on the front of this card, enlisted into Co. I, 82nd Ohio Infantry 12/26/61 and was present with the unit at Gettysburg. Heavily engaged on July 1st the 82nd was forced to withdraw to Cemetery Hill.” Hazard refers above to the use of embroidered rather than painted stars on regimental flags from Tiffany and Canfield Brothers.

In the accompanying letter he notes that the only C. Yancy (or Yancey) with Gettysburg service was Charles Yancy of the 82nd Ohio, though he was unsure of his exact relationship to “C.W. Yancy of New York” The 82nd Ohio saw action at Cross Keys and Cedar Mountain, and then at Groveton, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. At the latter engagement, as part of the 1th Corps, they fought on the first day’s field in support of Dilger’s Battery near the Carlisle Road, losing 181 officers and men out of 258 engaged. They also had substantial service in the western theatre from Fall 1864 to the end of the war. This is a very nicely preserved and presented Gettysburg relic from a respected collection.

1152 - RIFLE CARTRIDGE BOX WITH SHARPSBURG INK LABEL. Rifle-size cartridge box with single-piece 5-compartment magazine tin. Inner flap has an ink handwritten label reading, “Southern Pouch / Sharpsburg MD / Sept. 1862,” referring to the Battle of Antietam, fought between McClellan and Lee, and known as the single bloodiest day of the war. The battle ended in a stalemate, but Lee’s decision to pull back into Virginia handed the needed victory to McClellan. The pouch is a style usually associated with militia and bears a leather facing of higher quality with a stamped brass oval circle on the front, within which are separately mounted letters “F.L.I.” CONDITION: Good.

The magazine tin lacks one divider. Side ears of the inner flap are partially detached. The box was made without an implement pouch.

The base of the latch tab is present. The end is missing. The outer facing leather of the box has cracks and is missing significant portions, exposing the underlaying, less fancy, but sturdier leather. There is a small piece of leather on the front that appears to be attached but is actually separated and sits in place behind a crack in the leather. The left end of shoulder belt retaining strap on the reverse is present. The rest is missing. The shoulder belt was likely linen and sewn in place at the bottom rear of the box where stitching holes are evident, but no evidence of buckles for a heavier sling.

LOT - 1153 1153 - LOT OF 3: GETTYSBURG RELICS. Lot consists of three Gettysburg relics from the collection of Charles R. “Hap” Hazard, a well-respected Civil War author and collector. (A) Shattered fife of dark wood with German silver mounts bearing period paper label reading, “Gettysburg Penna” with a stamped or printed item number “2” and printed find location: “Emmitsburg Pike”. This comes with a note by Hazard that the fife was found on the Gettysburg battlefield

by David Starry of York Springs, PA, an Adams County town just north of Gettysburg. Starry mustered into Co. I 165th Pa on 11/7/62 and mustered out on 7/28/63 at Gettysburg. The regiment was a 9-month unit that served at Suffolk VA. Starry was a company musician, which may explain why he picked up a fife as a battlefield souvenir. He had subsequent service in the 21st Pa Cavalry. The fife was on display in the Peter Miller G.A.R Post 551 in York Springs. The post closed sometime before 1925 and the fife ended up back in the Starry family, from whom it was purchased by an antique dealer in the 1970s. CONDITION: Shattered near the lower end with the lower section retained by a piece of old wire.

(B) Drumstick bearing a similar paper reading “Gettysburg Penna” with a stamped or printed number “02.” A similar drumstick from the Hazard collection, found on the Spangler Farm, is pictured in “Gettysburg Battlefield Relics & Souvenirs” by O’Donnell, Hazard, and Boardman on page 81 and is attributed to Starry as well, but it seems to be a different example. CONDITION: Good. Minor chips and stains from exposure. (C) Heart shaped block of wood bearing a bullet. This piece is pictured in “Gettysburg Battlefield Relics and Souvenirs” identified as coming from Culp’s Hill. A faint pencil note on reverse seems to read “Sharpsburg,” but this may refer to a provenance from the Remsburg collection in the Sharpsburg are, which contained both Antietam and Gettysburg relics, It is a nice example of the Victorian preservation of historical material at the same time it is altered to something useful or ornamental. The fife and drumstick are relics from company musicians who were usually assigned to aid medical personnel as their commands moved into action. SR 800 - 1,200 1154 - CIVIL WAR BULLET-STRUCK NEW YORK BELT PLATE. This wonderful, bullet-struck New York belt plate is ex-John Henry Kurtz and Charles “Hap” Hazard collections. Early Civil War volunteers from New York usually entered service clothed and equipped by the state.

The oval SNY belt plate signifying the State of New York was the standard waist belt plate for their enlisted infantrymen. This one was bullet struck on the face of the plate on the letter “Y.” The projectile did not fully penetrate the plate, but bent and tore the brass facing and punched out a section of the solder fill. The soldier would have been lucky to have escaped with his life. The plate retains its fastening hook and two round belt studs on the reverse, which indicate early war manufacture. (J.H. Kurtz sale 2009 to Charles Hazard.) CONDITION: Very good, as excavated. Greenish patina to right. More brown to the left near he strike.

1155 - A RARE TIFFANY GUIDE FLAG OF THE 19TH CONNECTICUT & OTHER CIVIL WAR EFFECTS OF SERGEANT GEORGE E. JUDSON. A small but significant collection of artifacts relating to the Civil War service of George Earl Judson (1843-1864) of Southbury, Connecticut that includes a rare, wartime example of a general guide flag made by Tiffany of New York. On 15 August 1862, Judson enlisted in Company I or the “Woodbury Company” (being composed of 61 men from that town and 20 others from nearby communities) of the 19th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The regiment was organized and mustered at Camp Dutton, outside of Litchfield, departing by train for Washington, DC on September 5th and assigned to the defenses of Alexandria, Virginia after their arrival. They spent fall of 1862 on picket and patrol duty in the city until January 1863, when the 19th was reassigned to the outer ring of forts and redoubts defending Alexandria. Judson was promoted to corporal on July 16th and in November, the regiment was redesignated as the 2nd Connecticut Heavy Artillery. Judson was made acting sergeant in Company I in January 1864 and was officially promoted to that rank on February 15th. In May, the regiment was called into the field to serve again as infantry in the 6th Army Corps during Grant’s Virginia Campaign. It fought with valor at Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and Winchester and suffered heavy casualties. On 19 October 1864 at Cedar Creek the regiment suffered a loss of 38 killed in 96 wounded; among the latter was Sergeant Judson, who received a gunshot wound in the left hip. He was eventually sent to the General Hospital at Patterson Hill in Baltimore, Maryland, where he died in late October from his wound. This lot consists of: (A) A general guide flag of the 19th Connecticut Volunteers, 1 of 2 surviving examples of the same pattern made for the state of Connecticut by Tiffany of New York. The other example belonged to the 18th Connecticut, now in collections of the Connecticut State Museum. Both flags share the same dimensions (18” hoist by 23” fly), design, and fabrication techniques characteristic of Tiffany-produced, general guide flags, being made of silk in the form of the US flag, with 34 white silk-embroidered stars arranged in 6 rows on the blue canton, with the regimental name being embroidered in gold silk, in this case “19 CV” for the 19th Connecticut Volunteers and a blue silk sleeve. This flag is almost certainly part of the “elegant stand of colors” (typically consisting of 2 large regimental battle flags and a pair of smaller guide markers to be carried by a sergeant on either extreme of the regiment’s line of battle) procured from Tiffany and presented to the regiment by Julia Tallmadge Noyes on 10 September 1862 at Litchfield Green, 1 day before Judson and the rest of the regiment were mustered for Federal service. A piece of paper bearing the words of an 1865 poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes is stitched to the flag just below the canton. With this flag is an inked note inscribed “Carried by George Earl Judson on Battlefield of Civil War. He was killed in [his] last battle. Buried in Southbury Connecticut.”. CONDITION: Excellent. Minor fraying on the fly and top edge near the fly. Vibrant color. (B) Pair of white cotton, dress gloves with an old inked note inscribed “Gloves worn by brother George at dress parade when a soldier in 1861-1865”, the dates referring in general terms to the war rather than Judson’s specific service. CONDITION: Excellent. (C) 2 sets of camp art. 6 examples of Judson’s penmanship in calling cards with his name and unit. 2 carved bone rings with patriotic designs, corps badges, and his name. 1 carved bone button with crossed flags and his initials. CONDITION: Excellent. (D) Photograph of Judson seated in a sergeant’s frock coat displaying with the top of his forge cap with artillery unit insignia plainly visible and slightly tinted red sergeant chevrons. (E) Touching letter addressed to Judson’s mother, Lucy, dated 31 October 1864 from a wardmaster at the Patterson Hill General Hospital in Baltimore: “Madam, It becomes my painful duty to inform you of the death of Geo. E. Judson...” His body was returned home for burial at the Pine Hill Cemetery in Southbury. His tombstone inscription, as well as various official records, indicate that he died on October 31st, but other documents suggest that he may have succumbed on the 23rd. CONDITION: Very good. Separation lines on folds, but complete. (F) Early 1900s copy in pen of Judson’s record from a county history. CONDITION: Very good. This is a remarkable family archive containing a wartime regimental guide flag of an active regiment. SR/JK Box: 10 - 1/4” x 8 - 3/4” x 1 - 3/4”. 6,000 - 9,000

This hardcover scrapbook has a reattached binder. Cover is stamped “UNION SOUVENIRS 1861.”. The album contains approximately 430 original and different Civil War patriotic envelope covers and a complete set of the extremely scarce Champion prize envelope “Lincoln and Davis in five rounds” published by J.H. Tingley of New York, 1861. Note states book came from Akron, Ohio area, the estate of Mrs. Winslow who was 83 years of age in 1988. These vignettes were hand cut from a multitude of Civil War patriotic envelopes that were used by loved ones to send personal letters to far-away soldiers. Each was meticulously cut and glued to the pages of this album at the time. The very first page has 6 Union State Lady Liberty seals. You will find vignettes honoring nearly all of Northern Union states, many with Union slogans such as “DEATH TO ALL TRAITORS”, “THE UNION AT ALL HAZARDS”, “DISUNION BY ARMED FORCE IS TREASON”, “MARYLAND ON THE FENCE”, “SURPRISE UPON THE REBEL SAVAGES”, “SECESSION: THE CAIN OF BALTIMORE”, “UNION NOW AND FOREVER”, “TRUE TO THE UNION”. There are also numerous Thomas Mast style cartoons, most of which lambaste Jeff Davis and the Southern Secessionists. Others glorifying Honest Abe and various Union Generals such as Colonel Ellsworth, the first great martyr assassinated in Virginia May 24, 1861. Other generals highly touted include Winfield Scott, General Butler, the Lincoln Cabinet, General McClellan. Memorials to Fort Sumpter, and many more making fun of Jeff Davis, secessionists portrayed as the Devil and hydra, deadhead bounty. Most are in red, blue, and white but several are in full color.

One particularly graphic one shows dozens of men hanging from the noose titled “Capital

But the most important aspect of this one of a kind scrapbook is the Champion in Five Round fight covers that show Lincoln and Davis in a boxing match, showing old Abe as the kindly protector of the right and Davis whining sympathy; includes rounds 1 through 5, where Lincoln is awarded the Champion belt. One of a kind and very historic.

1165 - WASHINGTON LIGHT ARTILLERY PRESENTATION CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG. This is a well-provenanced presentation Confederate battle flag measuring 42” on hoist x 54” on fly including the 3 - 1/2” fringe. This flag was sold by the daughter of Lt. John Henry Neibling. At that time she (Mrs. Effie Neibling) prepared a sworn written statement stating it was given by his unit for his services and popularity in the unit after the surrender at Appomattox. In Ms. Neibling’s 1932 affidavit she states that this flag was made by the ladies of Augusta in the second year of the war. Noted Confederate flag expert, the late Howard Madaus, wrote a report on this flag in 1989 detailing history and construction of this flag believing it was wartime production. Mr. Madaus states in his letter that he felt that this was originally a 2-sided flag with the reverse side, which is only partially intact now, was white silk with the presentation unit nickname or motto like other known early presentation flags. Also included is a more recent report prepared by military and flag historian, Gregory G. Biggs. His report is based on a newspaper article he discovered written in 1878 in an Augusta, Georgia, newspaper. This article discusses a very similar flag that was made and presented to the Washington Artillery after the war. The original owner (Ms. Effie Neibling) obviously disputes this, but the description and details of information in the Augusta, GA, newspaper are rather convincing. Even if this is not the original flag carried in battle by the Washington Artillery but one made shortly after the war for the remnants of the unit, it is indeed a significant and historic flag. The flag referenced in the newspaper article obviously was made for what was then the remnants of that unit who were all true confederate soldiers that had taken part in the Civil War, and the flag continued to be used by them for parades and display, etc., throughout the 19th century. Early surviving post-war Georgia military banners are extremely rare today (according to Biggs report) and only a couple are known to exist, making this an important, rare and historical artifact, regardless of whether this is the one Mrs. Neibling refers to in her affidavit or whether this is the one referred to in the Augusta newspaper. The extremely rare reversed colors are also a feature seldom seen and highly sought after. This flag was originally preserved by netting which was an early 19th century technique of conservation & preservation of such flags. The Washington Light Artillery of Augusta, GA saw its first service in Pensacola, FL late in 1861 and early ’62. This unit saw action under Cap. Isadore P. Girardey and unit was more commonly known as Girardey’s Battery. This unit saw its first major action at the battle of Shiloh & later in other actions with the Army of Mississippi and the Army of Tennessee. There is a file of copied documents with this flag. PROVENANCE: Lt. John Neibling, 1865, Effie M. Neibling, Calvin Bulloch, 1932, George Gorman. CONDITION: Flag is sound and very good as restored. About 20% of the blue silk quadrants are missing as can be seen in photos. Red silk cross is mostly complete but with numerous repairs to silk as can be seen in photos. Bullion and sequined stars are intact, but 4 are missing their central red colored central sequin and 1 central red sequin is loose and the red color on retained sequins is worn but visible on others, the metallic bullion fringe is complete. The top brass loop of 7 original attaching loops to hoist is missing. BM FRAME: 46” X 58 - 1/2” X 2 - 1/4”. 30,000 - 50,000

LOT - 1166 1166 - GENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN’S 1869 FROCK COAT. Extremely rare U.S. Army dress frock coat of General of the Army William Tecumseh Sherman dating 1869-1872. The only uniform coats dating to this period of Sherman’s career known to us are 1 in a private collection illustrated in Langellier’s Army Blue (Vol. 1, p.28) and another with a Brooks Brothers label in the Smithsonian, but not on public view. The coat is configured in the pattern established by General Orders No. 75, War Department, Washington, D.C., September 5, 1866, exclusively for the General Commanding the Army: 2 rows of 12 buttons each, set in groups of 4.

It also more closely follows Civil War patterns than later styles in the use of a wide elbow (8-1/2”) narrow cuff (5”) and long skirts. The latter measure 20-1/2” from the waist seam to the hem, versus a waist-to-lapel distance of 20-1/2”, or waist to shoulder of 20”. Given the time-frame and rank configuration, only 2 officers qualified to wear it: Ulysses Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman. Comparison in November 1976 of this coat with a known coat of Grant at West Point showed close measurements of the collar, chest, and waist, but noticeable difference in the back (41” to 36-1/2”) which would be expected between the taller Sherman (5’11”) and the shorter Grant (5’8”). Correspondence in October 1976 with Donald Kloster, then Assistant Curator of the Division of Military History at the Smithsonian, regarding dimensions of a later Sherman coat revealed an expected age expansion of the neck, chest and waist (17” to 17-1/2”; 23” to 24-1/2”; 20” to 21-1/2”), slight loss of height as measured along the back (41” and 38-1/2”) but remarkably consistent sleeve length (32-1/2” and 32-1/4”). Sherman was authorized to wear the coat as of March 4, 1869, when he assumed the rank of General Commanding the Army from Grant, who was obliged to resign the post upon assumption of the Presidency. Sherman retained the rank until 1883, long after army uniform patterns had changed from this. The coat certainly predates 1872 in style, giving it a fairly narrow date of acquisition by Sherman to 1869-1872 and wear for not many years after that. The quality of the coat fabric is commensurate with the rank and the exterior retains good blue color. There is no moth damage, tracks, or stains. Wear is confined to the top edge of the velvet collar and edges of the velvet cuffs, natural points of contact and wear. A hanging tab inside the collar is present, but detached on one side.

The collar fastens at the bottom with hook and eye, as should be expected. The eye is present, but the hook is missing and the collar fabric on that side is pulled up, indicating it was lost by carelessly opening the collar without unhooking it. The cuffs show the expected period narrowing from the wide elbow and are non-functional, as is common with Civil War officers’ frock coats. The velvet collar and cuffs both show expected oxidation to a slight brown tone from the use of iron mordants in the dye. The upper collar shows wear along the top edge, revealing the top of the white interlining, but there are no holes to the sides of the velvet on the interior or exterior.

The green silk upper body lining is in place and very good, as are the white sleeve linings, which are securely in place at the arm holes. The interior breast pocket is in place, though with a small hole inside at bottom. The upper edge of the pocket shows wear from reaching into it that is consistent with signs of wear on the collar. The glazed cotton lining of the skirts is largely gone.

Fragments are visible along the waist seam. The brown pockets in the tails, accessed through the center gap in the tails rather than the individual pleats, are still in place and in good condition.

The black silk tape used to cover seams or a fold are present inside, though fragmentary, but the coat is solid overall. The coat is made with a small watch pocket at the left waist. Most of the buttons initially on the coat were taken long ago as souvenirs, but 2 very high-quality buttons original to the coat remain on the wearer’s lower left front: one at the waist seam still fastened tightly with a cloth wedge and one immediately above, resewn. These bear the backmark “SUPERFINE GOLD PLATE / W.B. CO.” Recent research shows the Waterbury Button Company, of Connecticut, using that abbreviation as early as the 1850s and, according to Tice, introducing the “superfine gold plate” marking, “C.1870,” which is fully commensurate with the dating of the coat by other criteria. The remaining buttons on the coat are correct general staff buttons and match pretty well, but have been added to the coat for display only and bear a number of different backmarks. 1 has since become detached and is in the watch pocket of the coat.

This coat surfaced in the hands of a Pennsylvania antiques dealer in 1976 and was immediately acquired by our consignor, in whose collection it remained until now. One of the most well-known figures of American military history, Sherman is disliked for some of his later policies in the American west, and still vilified by many for his determination to bring the war home to the south in his March to the Sea. He was nevertheless a premier combat commander and strategist who avoided political entanglements, performed his duty with a rigid honesty, and had no illusions about the price of war paid by vanquished and victor both. This is a remarkable opportunity to acquire an early uniform associated with one of America’s most renowned soldiers. SR 40,000 - 60,000

1167 - LOT OF 21: US BAYONETS. Lot consists of: 14 socket bayonets for Springfield Trapdoor Rifle, some with leather sheath. 6 US socket bayonets from Civil War and before.

1 Enfield saber bayonet with no scabbard. CONDITION: Varying from poor to good with all showing their age. DLM 800 - 1,200 1168 - ANTIETAM COLLIDED BULLETS FROM BLOODY LANE. These 2 collided bullets came from the area of the Antietam battlefield known as Bloody Lane, where Union regiments of the Second Army Corps fought a brutal engagement against Confederates sheltered in a sunken road along the Confederate center. Repeated assaults finally took the position, but further progress in the sector stalled after the wounding of General Richardson. This scarce example of 2 bullets that met in mid-air is from the Charles “Hap” Hazard collection and comes with a note recording its purchase in 1987 with a recorded provenance of recovery at Bloody Lane. It is worth noting that some of that area remained in private hands until very recent years. Examples of collided bullets are rare, but were valued by veterans and pictured in some regimental histories or collected reminiscences as evidence of the intensity of gunfire on some Civil War battlefields. This is a good example from a well-known and respected collection. SR 300 - 500

1169 - LOT OF 2: US MODEL 1873 TROWEL BAYONET AND AMES MS MARKED 1839 ARTILLERY SHORT SWORD Blade Length: (A) 10” (B) 19” Overall Length: (A) 15 - 1/2” (B) 25 - 1/4” Lot consists of: (A) Model 1873 trowel bayonet and scabbard. Socket shows thin blue and original wood handle insert. Blade has good edges and is dull silver in tone with scattered dark gray spots on the face and some gray stained areas on the reverse with some small brown spots on either side near the tip. The scabbard is solid, with good surface and color to the leather with just some wear at the edges. The tip is missing. The belt loop shows the addition of the swivel belt loop. The belt loop shows crazing and finish loss from flexing. Often thought of as experimental, these trowel bayonets saw issue for trial by some troops on active campaign in the west. They are an interesting development in the trend for combination tools and in the army’s search for a convenient entrenching tool, once they decided that digging in might offer some advantages to a soldier. CONDITION: Good to very good. (B) 1832 short sword and scabbard. Issued initially to infantry sergeants and artillerymen, this became the regulation side arm of the foot, or heavy artillery, many of whom ended up doing service as infantry in the field. During the Civil War some were used on shipboard as cutlasses, as 1 found on the USS Cairo reveals. This is a very scarce 1839 dated example bearing the “MS” stamp of the state of Massachusetts on the crossguard. 311 short swords were delivered that year by Ames for distribution to state militias. Which states got them is unknown but examples from Massachusetts and New Jersey are known.

The is the standard configuration, Roman style short sword with brass hilt featuring scaled grips and an impressed eagle on the pommel faces. The blade shows clear “United / States / 1839 / WS” stamps on one ricasso and “NP Ames / Springfield” on the other. Ordnance and inspector stamps are present, though light, on the underside of the crossguard. The blade has some thin surface brown rust and gray staining, but no appreciable pitting. The edge and point are good. The scabbard shows wear, crackling, dirt and finish loss, but is solid and complete. The mounts are loose and have a dark, aged, untouched patina. CONDITION: Good to very good and will clean better. A scarce version of the U.S regulation short sword. SR 800 - 1,200

1203 - STAG HANDLE FOLDER WILLIAM SCAGEL KRIS MARK ON BLADE. Blade Length: 3 - 1/4” Overall Length: 7” William Scagel attributed stag handle folding knife with Scagel’s (worn) Kris mark on blade. The grandfather of modern knife-makers and knife making lore, William Whales Scagel was active and listed as a knife-maker as early as 1917. His knives appeared in sporting stores advertisements such as V. L. and A of Chicago (and others of NY) as early as 1920. However, he likely made knives as early as 1910 and possibly earlier. Due to Mr. Scagel being an extremely private person, little is known about his early knife maker history. This stag handled folder appears to be one of Scagel’s earlier productions.

The blade shows use and wear due to sharpening, thereby leaving the stamp showing top half to 2/3 of the Kris mark. The handle is of stag and misc. liner material. Similar blades and stamps can be viewed on pages 78, 94, 154, and 155 of Dr. James Lucie’s book “W Scagel, Scagel Handmade, 2010”.

The following five lots are original hand colored lithographs from the Thomas McKenney & James Hall “History of the Indian Tribes of North America” portfolio. (1836-1844) Thomas McKenney was head of the United States Bureau of Indian affairs from 1816-1830. He was dismissed by President Andrew Jackson in 1830. McKenney was committed to preserving the culture of the Native Americans. The goal was to preserve for the US government a comprehensive record of the history and culture of the Native Americans before, as he feared, they would become a threatened race. He embarked on a lengthy, expensive and exhaustive project to that end. He commissioned Charles Bird King who ultimately painted most of the original renderings of the chosen Native Americans. Simultaneously, James Hall completed biographies of each subject and provided the text for the portfolio. In 1865 the original paintings were destroyed in a fire at the Smithsonian Institute. Thus, the stone lithography images from the portfolio are the only surviving records of the Tribal leaders and their people.

The UCV had been officially founded in 1889. At its height it had some 160,000 members. Declining membership in the 1920’s placed active guidance in the hands of a President from the sons or daughters of veterans organizations.

1386 - FIRST TYPE EVER MARINE CORPS MARKED LEATHER HOLSTER MANUFACTURED. Referring to the book “US Military Holsters and Related Accouterments” by Edward Meadows, page 569; “It is the author’s opinion that this holster dates from 1905 with the adoption of the Colt Model 1905 US Marine Corps revolver, but that is possible it was also used earlier with the 1895 revolvers issued to the Marine Corps.”.

Holster is manufactured of russet leather and the flat is embossed “USMC” in an oval. Rivets are made of iron. Maker is unmarked. Has a brass snap. CONDITION: Toe plug is missing. There is some checking on the flap. Body is excellent. Holster is still soft and supple. This is the first ever style leather holster specifically marked for the Marine Corps.

Very hard to find due to its low production and survival rate. Seldom seem on the market. An absolute must-have for the collector of early Marine Corps equipment. DB 500 - 1,000

1388 - PRESENTATION GOLD CANE FROM “EMPLOYEES OF THE U.S. INDIAN WAREHOUSE”.

This beautifully inscribed gold-headed cane dates about 1895. The head is created of 2 pieces, seamed lengthwise, with foliate collar and separate endcap. Long, pointed arches rise on the neck from under the collar and the handle is covered with profuse raised floral scrolls, vines, leaves, and berries. The obverse of the head has a plain oval engraved: “Presented by the / Employees of the U.S. Indian Warehouse / as a token of esteem.” The cap of the handle is engraved with a monogram that we would read as “TJB” or “TGB,” but which a previous owner has noted an attached card as “DMB,” and attributed to Daniel M. Browning, Commissioner of Indian Affairs 1893-1897. Browning was involved in the consolidation of the U.S. Indian Warehouses that were points of distribution under the Bureau of Indian Affairs, some of which were consolidated due to Congressional funding. The cane may thus be a more localized presentation from employees of one of these to a supervisor.

In any case, this is a very elegant presentation that is at the same time involved with the U.S. government’s fraught relationship with indigenous American peoples. CONDITION: Very good. Some slight staining along the seam lines of the head. Wear to the wood surface, especially towards the bottom of the cane. Slight verdigris on handle of cane. SR 800 - 1,200

2154 - WORLD WAR II KIA D-DAY+5 507TH PIR PURPLE HEART WITH MEDAL CERTIFICATE IN ORIGINAL SHIPPING TUBE This is an incredible and historically significant Purple Heart Medal that was posthumously awarded to Willard J. Lucas, who was a member of the 82nd Airborne, 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment. The Purple Heart is in its original case with ribbon bar and lapel pin. The medal is crimp brooched and is numbered “458547.” The medal is engraved “Willard J. Lucas” on the reverse. The case is contained in a cardboard box in which it has been stored since it was received by Lucas’ mother. The group also includes the original medal certificate and death certificate that was issued by the US Army. What is even more impressive is that the certificates are contained in the original mailing tube that is addressed to his mother. Lucas was born on November 21, 1921 in Lavelle, Schuylkill County Pennsylvania. Lucas entered service on May 27, 1942. He received his basic training at Camp Wheeler and later at Fort Benning with the paratroopers. He was assigned to overseas service in December 1943 and was assigned to the 82nd Airborne’s 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Lucas would go on to participate in the Invasion of Normandy from which he would not return. In the early morning hours of June 6th 1944, just after 2:00 am, twelve planeloads of men assigned to the 507th PIR were mis-dropped and dispersed throughout the marshes just south of the French town of Carentan. The men of the 3rd Battalion of the 507th PIR were supposed to be dropped roughly 18 miles to the northwest in an area that was classified as “Drop Zone T,” near the town of Amfreville.

Instead, the 3rd battalion was scattered around the vicinity of the French village of Graignes. This would later be known as the worst mis-drop of any US airborne unit on D-Day. The ensuing Battle of Graignes would later be known as one of the most valiant defenses during the invasion.

Slowly, American paratroopers began to arrive in the village with an initial force of 25 men. As the day progressed, 182 paratroopers had gathered in the town of Graignes. Due to the fact that the paratroopers were deep behind enemy lines and far from their objective drop zone, the decision was made to remain where they gathered and defend the town. Although it was dangerous to aid the enemy, the townspeople made a unanimous decision to feed and help the paratroopers in any way they could. On Saturday, June 10th, a German reconnaissance detachment made contact with the town which resulted in the death of four German soldiers. The following day on June 11th, the Germans unleashed several attacks in order to wipe out the 182 paratroopers that were defending the town. After several assaults, which resulted in the death of the American commander, the defenders became disorganized and were ordered to LOT - 2154 disperse and retreat in pairs. Elements of the 17th SS Panzergrenadier conducted the final assault on the town with a force of about 2000 men, which would have outnumbered the Americans 10-1. At the end of the battle on June 11th, The SS entered the town church, which was being used by the paratroopers as an aid station. In the aid station were 14 wounded Americans along with Captain Abraham Sophian, who was the 3rd battalion surgeon, and two medics. The Americans surrendered, and should have been protected by the Geneva convention, but were instead murdered by the men of the 17th SS. One group of five wounded paratroopers were forced to the edge of a nearby pond, where they were bayoneted and dumped in the water. The other group of nine were forced to march at gunpoint to a field and were forced to dig a pit. After the SS deemed the hole to be deep enough, they shot each of the wounded men through the head and pushed their bodies into the pit. At some point, Captain Sophian and the two medics were also murdered. Out of the 182 men that defended Graignes, 150 made it to US lines. Lucas was declared killed on June 11th, 1944, but it unknown if he is one of the men who were murdered by the SS. He was only 23 years old when he was killed and his remains were returned to the United States in 1948. CONDITION: Overall excellent. The cardboard box does show stains and wear from age. The case is in excellent condition with no blemishes. The medal has a few loose threads on the reverse but is very well held together.

The engraving is crisp and the medal shows no major blemishes. The certificates are in excellent condition, as they are still rolled in the original shipping tube and were probably only opened by Lucas’ mother when she received them in the mail. The cardboard shipping tube was torn open

by Lucas’ mother but is in otherwise good condition. The mailing label from the war department is still legible. This is an incredible documented posthumously awarded Purple Heart group from a renowned unit and a notable World War II battle that would be one of the centerpieces of any medal collection.

2165 - 1910 NATIONAL MATCHES GOLD MARKSMANSHIP MEDAL INSCRIBED TO U.S. ARMY DSC WINNER Scarce gold marksmanship medal awarded for the 1910 National Match competition at Camp Perry.

The top bar reads “Army Infantry Team” and bears a “14k” stamp on the reverse. The pin is in place. Suspended by two links is a round planchet with “U.S.” at tip over an open wreath with crossed rifles and a superimposed marksmanship badge of a white enamel square with gold bullseye and two rings. The reverse bears a wreath around the perimeter and is inscribed at center “HERMAN E. / STADIE / 1st SERGT. / 30th INFANTRY. / 1910.” War Dept. G.O. 217 dated Nov. 30, 1910 records the National Team Match, Individual Match, and Pistol Match at Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug 22-25. The army infantry team took first place. Stadie placed 7th in the individual match and was awarded a “gold medal” and $30.00 cash. He took second place a short time later in the matches at Sea Girt, N.J. At the time of the match he was in Co. L of the 30th Infantry. Born in Germany in 1878 he emigrated to the U.S. enlisting in the army for the first time in 1899, serving in the 18th and the 27th U.S. Infantry before the 30th, seeing action in the Philippines at the Ampit River in September 1900 and Pinauran in November, rising from private to corporal, sergeant, and first sergeant. He later saw service in the Mexican Border Campaign LOT - 2165 and received campaign medals for both. He was discharged as first sergeant in July 1917 to accept a commission and served as a captain in the 306th Infantry, 77th Division, in France, where he won the Distinguished Service Cross. The citation is recorded in Communique No 138 GHQ AEF 9/29/18: “For extraordinary heroism in action at Ferme de Dames, west of Fismes, France, 20 August 1918. While in the vicinity of the regimental command post where he was stationed was under heavy bombardment, Capt. Stadie, without thought of personal danger, voluntarily ran outside through shrapnel and high explosive shells and rescued a wounded runner.” Stadie continued his career as a marksman after the war, shooting on the winning team in the Sadler Match of 1920.

He retired from the U.S. Army as a Captain in 1932, settling in California, where he died in 1972 at age 93. This is a scarce medal in itself and belonged to a soldier with long army service and a citation for Valor in World War One. CONDITION: Excellent. SR JD 1,000 - 1,500

Marketed by John Graveley and Charles Wreaks in the more affluent neighborhood of New York City with their clients being the highest of society.

Only Three examples are known and this being the most ornate and one of only two Silver mounted examples. Housed in its original silver mounted scabbard. CONDITION: Superb in every regard with crisp and legible markings on the blade. The blade has been lightly cleaned at a much earlier period with traces of earlier staining evident.

Terms & Conditions We advise all bidders to read the Terms and Conditions of the Sale before bidding with Dan Morphy Auctions LLC and/or its affiliates Morphy Firearms LLC, and Morphy Auctions, Las Vegas collectively referred to below as MORPHY’S. Those who bid are bound by those Terms and Conditions of the Sale, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of the sale between the successful bidder (purchaser), MORPHY’S and the seller (consignor) of the lot.

TERMS OF SALE

When bidding on any lot offered by MORPHY’S, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale. Any participation in the auction binds you to agreement of these terms whether or not you read or understand said terms. The Terms in writing contained herein are subject to change without notice and bidder agrees that the most recently published Terms of Sale as published or amended on the website at the beginning of the auction shall apply.

LIMITED GUARANTEE

MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales. The descriptions carry a limited guarantee.

It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity, major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications not disclosed in the description. Examples of what we do not guarantee against, imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections, undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fit issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, bore condition, and other similar differences that are inherent in the antiques and collectible industry. All items are sold for display purposes. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. It is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine by inspection by themselves or a hired professional the exact condition of each item prior to bidding on the item. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. This limited guarantee is only available to the buyer of record. Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms.

Except as stated in the limited guarantee above, MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation, expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise.. It is the bidder’s responsibility to initiate contact with MORPHY’S in request for additional information regarding the items.

Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. We will do our best, but cannot promise that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction.

All items will be available for preview approximately one (1) month prior to the auction.

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 buyers 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 buyers 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 buyer’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 buyers 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 buyer’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 buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance 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.

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 (continued...)

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.

• ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Packaging, shipping, and insurance on all items that MORPHY’S agrees to ship 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 approximately seven to fourteen (7-14) business days after payment is received. Oversize and breakable items, which MORPHY’S will indicate on the invoice will ship based upon the buyer’s arrangement with a 3rd party shipper. MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. 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 buyer. 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 items to the buyer at the listed address via FedEx or other carriers, FOB Denver, Pennsylvania 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, which you can decline by contacting us and providing a signed waiver of insurance form. 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 welcomes our international customers. MOPRHY’S can provide upon request a complete process and set of recommended company contacts with whom the Buyer can work to understand the steps, timing, and cost to acquire items at auction. It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property and for paying all shipping costs, customs and duties on the items. 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.

• 3RD PARTY SHIPPING of OVERSIZE ITEMS – Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. 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.

• 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to choose items and orders that it will pack, ship, and/or insure directly using our shipping department. Those items that MORPHY’S will not ship will require that the buyer either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service.

Examples of items that may apply after determination by our shipping department include but are not limited to: items with neon of any type (working or non-working), all glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body of the sign, oversized vases (guideline – larger than fit in a 20” x 20” x 40” box), high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain.

Under no circumstances will MORPHY’S be responsible for shipping damage to picture frames of any kind. (continued...)

Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances. No lots purchased by floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned.

Please refer to MORPHY’S limited guarantee herein. A Return Authorization Number (RA#) must be issued by MORPHY’S before you ship anything back to our address. Any items arriving without a return authorization will not be given a refund.
