Thomaston Place Auction Galleries
JOSEPH LINCOLN (1859-1939) Accord Village, Hingham, MA
Joseph Lincoln with some of his legendary decoys.
Joseph Lincoln is a legend among the decoy collecting community. His works grace the shelves of most of the prominent private collections in the nation, as well as the finest museum collections in the country. Lincoln was somewhat of a renaissance man: besides his decoy carving, he was known to repair bicycles and clocks; made his own cameras; and was an award-winning cultivator of prize-winning dahlias at the Boston Flower Show. Lincoln was well-respected in his community. A lifelong friend, Hingham resident, and Lincoln historian once told me that no one ever referred to him as Joe. It was always "Mr. Lincoln." The following 21 lots represent the finest grouping of miniatures by Joe Lincoln ever presented at auction. They exemplify Lincoln at the pinnacle of his career, and exhibit paint patterns and detail never before seen. These miniatures range from 3.5-6 inches, have original surface and are in excellent condition. They are all unsigned and have the bird identified in pencil on bottom. SEE ONLINE LISTINGS FOR COMPLETE DESCRIPTIONS.
We would like to acknowledge Medomak Gallery for their expertise and assistance in cataloging these miniatures.

2018 BRONZE ‘LYLE’ TYPE LINE THROWING CANNON W/ ACCESSORIES An all-bronze cannon manufactured by C.C. Galbraith & Son after the designs of 2nd. Lieutenant David Lyle. Lyle began work on such designs in 1877 when he was handed down a request from the Secretary of War for the development of practical improvements in lifesaving apparatus. Lyle’s main concern was in developing a tool that was not only robust and resistant to the harsh conditions of the coast, but was also straightforward and simple to set up and operate, which he saw as essential in any life-saving device. This particular cannon is in overall good condition with a dark patina to the carriage and only some minor dings and scratches. The cannon includes ramrod, five weighted shots (four of which have their own carrying frame), and a copy of the book “The Lifesaving Guns of David Lyle” by J.P. Barnett. $7,000-9,000

However, opinions about condition can vary and as such, the auctioneer shall make the final determination in the possible event of a refund. E. The timeline for this process is 30 days from the date of the auction. In the event a committee or review board must convene to review the item, TPAG must be notified in order to extend the time beyond the 30 day limit. Otherwise after 30 days, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. F. Once TPAG has accepted the ruling of the expert(s), the buyer is to return the item to TPAG at buyer’s expense. In order to be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in the same condition it was in when it left TPAG’s possession. G. In the event a refund is issued, it will be for the cost of the item, buyer’s premium and any sales tax paid. The refund will be made in the same form as the payment of the original transaction. 8) No Chargeback Policy — Purchasers agree that disputes of any nature will not be resolved by a credit card chargeback and further agree to refrain from filing any chargeback claim against Thomaston Place Auction Galleries and/or its credit card merchant. By purchasing with us, the purchaser waives the right to initiate a chargeback and furthermore agrees to pay a minimum of $500 plus administrative fees, attorney fees, and/or any other charges associated with responding to said chargeback. 9) Jewelry, Timepieces, Stamps & Coins: All sales are final. There are no returns or refunds for any reason. Jewelry and items with mechanical parts such as clocks, timepieces, mechanical banks, music boxes, etc. are sold “as-is” on the day of sale and may require servicing. The lack of a condition report does not imply that the item or lot is free from imperfections, defects or wear and tear of aging. This includes but is not limited to deficient stones, needed repair or defects.
