Lot #191 (Sale Order 310 of 708)

An artistically rendered watercolor memorial motif to the lost Confederate cause, bearing a hand drawn poem and three Confederate flags, the national colors and battle standard. In the center is a 19th century oval albumen copy shot purportedly of Benjamin Frank Stringfellow, the famous Confederate scout and spy. While the photo is loosely remounted to the watercolor with a few small pieces of adhesive tape, a close examination reveals that the photo was originally mounted to the board by a gum adhesive that has long since dried and crystallized, causing the adherence to loosen and the two pieces to separate. Inspection of the photo mount and board reveals several matching areas where adherence and separation have occurred. It is clear, therefore, that the watercolor and photograph have been together from the beginning, circa 1880 - 1890. Included for comparative purposes is a copy of known view of Stringfellow. This piece of soldier art is 14" x 11" while the albumen is 5" x 3.5". very good - excellent.

Lot #194e (Sale Order 318 of 708)

Vintage Civil War period copy ambrotype of General Nathaniel P. Banks. At the outbreak of the Civil War, President Lincoln appointed Banks as one of the first 'political' major generals, over the heads of West Point regulars, who initially resented him, but came to acknowledge his influence on the administration of the war. After suffering a series of inglorious setbacks in the Shenandoah River Valley at the hands of Stonewall Jackson, Banks replaced Benjamin Butler at New Orleans as commander of the Department of the Gulf, charged with administration of Louisiana and gaining control of the Mississippi River. But he failed to reinforce Grant at Vicksburg, and badly handled the Siege of Port Hudson, taking its surrender only after Vicksburg had fallen. He then launched the Red River Campaign, a failed attempt to occupy eastern Texas that prompted his recall. Banks was regularly criticized for the failures of his campaigns, notably in tactically important tasks including reconnaissance. Banks was also instrumental in early reconstruction efforts in Louisiana, intended by Lincoln as a model for later such activities. After the war, Banks returned to the Massachusetts political scene, serving in Congress, where he supported Manifest Destiny, influenced the Alaska Purchase legislation, and supported women's suffrage.

CIVIL WAR IDED SURGICAL SET HOSPITAL REGISTER CDV

Lot #208 (Sale Order 345 of 708)

A remarkable group of items that belonged to Homer C. Shaw, Surgeon of the 10th OVI. The collection contains an inscribed Tiemann pocket surgical set, a regimental hospital day book register for the sick and wounded of the 10th Ohio, and images of Dr. Shaw. 1. The Tiemann pocket surgical set was used by Dr. Shaw in the Civil War. It is inscribed in ink on an inner flap: "Homer C. Shaw Surgeon 10th OVI Head Quarters Guard Dept. Cumberland Homer C. Shaw, M.D." This inscription confirms the set was used by the doctor at least in 1863. It contains 19 instruments, many of them with tortoise shell handles and covers and marked "Tiemann". There are two instruments marked Kolbe and Siegel which are replacements. The instruments include lancets, scalpels, forceps, bistouries, canulas, etc., and others typically found in a pocket set. The leather flap has a brass metal latch and it is constructed of red morocco leather. 2. The regimental hospital register was used exclusively for the 10th OVI and records mostly sick soldiers as they presented to daily Surgeon's Call. It is written in manuscript in pencil, and occasional ink, and records each soldier's name, company, ailment and treatment. The casebook measures 13.75 x 8.5 inches. The boards are marbled; the front board and first few pages are loose and detached, and the spine is worn. The casebook registers soldiers of the 10th OVI treated in regimental hospital "in camp at Chattanooga" between Jan. 1, 1864 and May 28, 1864. We know that this was Dr. Shaw's personal regimental casebook for Surgeon's Call because a family journal was kept by his daughter in several blank pages at the end between the 1890s until Dr. Shaw's death in 1910. Registers for regimental hospitals are quite rare. 3. Two images of Dr. Shaw are included. One is a crisp and clear CDV carte-de-visite of the surgeon in a Major's double-breasted frock coat with shoulder straps for that rank. A full surgeon had the rank of Major. The backmark is "Dewey's Gallery, Cincinnati", and it is inscribed "Dr. H.C. Shaw 1864". The other image is a trimmed cabinet card of Dr. Shaw as an old man identical to an image of him in a Homer, Illinois GAR composite located in the Homer historical society. It is inscribed in pencil on the back with Dr. Shaw's birth and death dates and age at death. Accompanying these images are two early 20th century. frames that likely contained the images at one time, both with Gallup, New Mexico, labels on the backpaper. This makes sense since one of Dr. Shaw's daughters had moved to Gallup. These items were obtained from a direct descendant of Dr. Shaw. The group also includes original collection acquisition papers, letters and correspondence with Dr. Shaw's descendants, transcriptions, archive records, and historical research on Dr. Shaw. Homer Cicero Shaw mustered as Assistant Surgeon of the 10th Ohio Vol. Infantry in November 1861. Dr. Shaw was promoted to Surgeon of that regiment in July 1863 and served in that capacity until the regiment's muster out in the summer of 1864. The 10th OVI was at the Battles of Perryville and Stones River in 1862. For most of 1863 the regiment served provost duty for Genl. Geo. H. Thomas at his headquarters for the Army of the Cumberland. Later in that year the Tenth was at Chickamauga, the battle of Chattanooga, and Missionary Ridge. It participated in the Atlanta Campaign until muster out in 1864. very good - excellent

CIVIL WAR 49TH NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS CORPS BADGE

Lot #210 (Sale Order 347 of 708)

A skillfully hand engraved silver ID badge 6th Army Corps for John Newton Henry. There is a t-bar pin on the back. The badge is engraved: J.N. Henry. Hosptl Steward. 49th N.Y.V. This badge and a photograph of it are cited in Dr. Gordon Dammann's "Pictorial Encyclopedia of Civil War: Medical Instruments and Equipment", Vol. II. p. 52. (1988). Included with this item is the 1995 book "Turn Them Out to Die Like a Mule: the Civil War Letters of John N. Henry", which recounts his history during the war. John Henry was a middle-aged itinerant preacher from Forestville, New York. Hoping to gain a lieutenancy and financially improve his large family, Henry joined the 49th New York in 1861. His aspirations in this regard went nowhere. He served as a nurse and then hospital steward with the 49th New York throughout the war. He worked closely with and studied under Dr. James Hall who was the regimental surgeon. His work with Dr. Hall and surgical experience enabled him to set up a medical practice as a doctor after the war. The 49th New York, known as the 2nd Buffalo Regiment, was part of the Army of the Potomac, and from May 1862 until June 1865 the 49th was in the 2nd Division, 6th Army Corps. John Henry initially worked as hospital steward for the regimental hospital of the 49th. By 1863-64 he was working closely with Dr. Hall in the division hospital. LOT #211 in this auction is the hospital register of Dr. James Hall of the 49th New York. Initially recording the sick and wounded of the regiment, the register was used later in the war as a record for the Division Hospital. Much of the work of a steward is to be a scribe and handle paperwork for the surgeon. It is possible many of the entries in that hospital register were made by John Henry. excellent

CIVIL WAR US HOSPITAL REGISTER 49TH NEW YORK VOLS

Lot #211 (Sale Order 348 of 708)

A magnificent primary source for the history of medicine and surgery during the Civil War. This manuscript hospital register documents thousands of soldiers, mostly in the 6th Army Corps, who were wounded in 1864 at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, the Siege of Petersburg, Winchester, and Cedar Creek. It records their names, rank, company and regiment, the wounds (mostly gunshot) and surgeries (amputations and resections). This hospital register is a government issued lined blank book with a preprinted heading on the left hand pages that reads, "Register of the Sick and Wounded at..." The boards are leather bound; the spine is worn but intact; and the pages are clean, with their signature binding solid. There is some remote water staining on the inside front board. The register measures 11 x 16.5 inches. Affixed to the cover is a gold embossed black leather label that reads, "U.S.A. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. REGISTER." All entries for the sick and wounded soldiers are in ink. The register was owned and used by Dr. James A. Hall, the Surgeon of the 49th New York Volunteer Infantry, also known as the 2nd Buffalo regiment. Dr. Hall enlisted as Surgeon of the 49th in August 1861 and mustered out in mid-October 1864. The initial inside page of the register is inscribed in ink: "Register of the Sick & Wounded of the 49th N.Y.S.V. James A. Hall Surgeon 1862-63." In 1864 Dr. Hall was appointed Surgeon-in-charge of the 2nd Division Hospital of the 6th Army Corps. The initial few pages record the sick soldiers almost entirely from the 49th New York, while in "Camp Near White Oak Church, Virginia" from April 1863 onwards. The next few pages record entries for soldiers at "Camp Near Sulphur Springs, Virginia" from September to October 1863, mostly for members of the 49th. The next pages record soldiers, again mostly of the 49th New York while at "Camp Near Warrenton" October to December 1863 and into February 1864. These pages all reflect a time when the register was used by Dr. Hall as a regimental surgeon for the men of the 49th New York. The remaining, and majority, purpose for the casebook for the rest of 1864 was when Dr. Hall was in charge of the 2nd Division Hospital of the 6th Army Corps. He used it as a register for his Division Hospital. These pages include thousands of entries for soldiers from various regiments of the 6th Corps who were wounded in the Virginia campaigns of that year. This book is largely a register of the wounded of the 6th Corps, including the 49th New York, for 1864. Men from many other regiments of the 2nd Division are listed in this manuscript register. The next section is a register of 1,263 soldiers wounded at the Wilderness May 5 and 6, 1864 and who were surgically treated at the "2nd Division Hospital 6th Army Corps". The next two sections record soldiers who were treated at their Division Hospital and who were wounded at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. In two sections the soldier entries in total number 789 and 1,052. Following this there are 414 soldiers treated at the hospital for wounds at the Battle of Winchester Sept. 19, 1864. The final sections are for 442 soldiers wounded at Cedar Creek, and finally 492 wounded and sick soldiers treated at the Division Hospital at Patrick Station, Virginia. LOT #210 in this auction is the Inscribed 6th Corps badge of John N. Henry, hospital steward of the 49th New York. He worked closely with Dr. Hall during the war. Henry was active as a hospital steward with the 2nd Division Hospital 6th AC in 1864. It is even possible he may have recorded many of these entries in this register. In a letter home from Cold Harbor, June 4, 1864, Henry wrote to his wife about the hospital: "A large train of wounded men left here yesterday...the 1st and 2nd Division Hospitals of the 6th Corps are near each other & the burial of their dead is going on every hour about a dozen rods on each side. These are the men who die in the Hospital. Those who die on the field are buried there." The majority of the entries are for soldiers of the 6th Army Corps wounded by gunshot and artillery shells. The early entries are almost exclusively for the sick of the 49th. There are even a few records for some Confederate soldiers treated at the Division Hospital. In all there are approximately 4,500 soldiers listed in the hospital register, making this manuscript an excellent primary source for information about not only the 49th New York but also the 6th Army Corps. Upon muster out in October 1864 James A. Hall returned to his home in Chautauqua County in western New York. He died there in April 1865, just a few days before the war ended. The pension and service records of Dr. Hall are included with this item. excellent

The document components of this group include Abbott's 1847 U.S. Army 2nd Lieutenant's commission signed by President James K. Polk, his 1851 1st Lieutenant's commission signed by President Millard Fillmore, and his West Point diploma.

Abbott's classmates at West Point included A.P. Hill. Ambrose Burnside, John Gibbon, Romeyn Aires, Orlando Wilcox, Charles Griffin and Henry Heth. Abbott served in the Mexican War and on the Western Frontier, resigning after seven years. He was born in Conneaut, Ashtabula County Ohio. He moved to Covington, Kentucky in 1860 and became a railway executive. See auction LOT # 214 for the C. 1850 telescope given by Confederate General William Cabell in 1873 to Abbott's Son George M. Abbott. excellent

CONFEDERATE GENERAL WILLIAM L. CABELL'S TELESCOPE

Lot #214 (Sale Order 351 of 708)

Civil War Confederate General William L Cabell's American made telescope by McAllister & Brother Philadelphia. Engraved on the outer brass ring near the eyepiece is "W. L. Cabell 7th Infantry U.S. Army". In 1873, Cabell gave this telescope to George M. Abbott, the son of Edward F Abbott who also was a West Point Graduate (1847) and perhaps crossed paths at some point with Cabell as they were also both rail executives after the Civil War. Engraved on the brass ring near the optic lens is "G.M. Abbott Covington, Ky. 626 Greenup St. Aug. 14th 1873". This telescope was found in the effects of Edward F. Abbott (LOT # 213) and at some time after George Abbott's death was erroneously thought by descendents to have been Edward Abbott's telescope as it is labeled as such on the leather telescope case. Cabell began service in the 7th Infantry upon his graduation from West Point in 1850, being promoted to regimental quartermaster in 1855. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Cabell returned to Little Rock, Arkansas, and offered his services to Governor Henry Massey Rector. In April 1861, he received a telegram from the Confederate States government and went to Richmond, Virginia, to assist in the establishment of the commissary, quartermaster, and ordnance departments for the Confederate military. He was sent to Manassas, Virginia, to take the position of Quartermaster for the Confederate Army of the Potomac under General P.G.T. Beauregard. He served on Beauregard's staff and then on the staff of General Joseph E. Johnston until reassigned in January 1862. After leaving Virginia, Cabell was assigned by General Albert Sidney Johnston to serve under General Earl Van Dorn, who was commander of the Trans-Mississippi Department. Cabell was promoted to brigadier general and placed in command of all Confederate troops on the White River, with his headquarters at Jacksonport, Arkansas. Soon after the Battle of Pea Ridge, Confederate forces were withdrawn from Arkansas and moved across the Mississippi River. Upon his arrival at Corinth, Mississippi, Cabell was given command of a Texas brigade with an Arkansas regiment attached. Cabell led this brigade in several engagements around Corinth. Cabell was transferred to an Arkansas brigade, which he led in the Battle of Iuka and the Battle of Corinth. He was wounded leading a charge against the Union entrenchments at Corinth and again at the Battle of Hatchie's Bridge, which left him temporarily disabled and unfit for field command. In February 1863, he was placed in command of northwestern Arkansas and successfully recruited and outfitted one of the largest cavalry brigades west of the Mississippi. Cabell led this brigade in over 20 engagements in the Trans-Mississippi Department including prominent roles at the Battle of Poison Spring and the Battle of Marks' Mills where he commanded two brigades under General James Fleming Fagan. Cabell was captured in Kansas (by Sergeant Cavalry M. Young of the 3rd Iowa Cavalry) during Price's Raid on October 25, 1864 at the Battle of Mine Creek and was held as a prisoner of war at the Johnson's Island prison camp on Lake Erie and then at Fort Warren in Boston, Massachusetts. After the war, Cabell returned to Fort Smith, Arkansas, where he worked as a civil engineer and studied law at night. He was admitted to the Arkansas bar in 1868 and practiced law for a few years. In 1872, Cabell and his family moved to Dallas, Texas. In 1874, he was elected mayor of that city and served three terms at various times in 1874-1876, between a mayor again in 1877-1879 and finally in 1883-1885. During his tenure, he expanded rail access to the city, established sewer and electrical services, started a program of paving streets, and presided over a period of massive growth. William Lewis Cabell died in Dallas on February 22, 1911. 50,000 people lined the streets for a military parade and 25,000 witnessed the ceremony of his burial at Greenwood Cemetery, where he currently rests. A very historic personal item of a prominent Confederate general and post war Dallas, Texas Citizen. excellent

CAPTURED MEXICAN DAGGER BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO 1836

Lot #215 (Sale Order 352 of 708)

Captured Mexican Dagger "TAKEN FROM MEXICAN AT THE BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO 1836" is the period hand engraved legend on the brass overlaid ricasso of this Mexican dagger. Heavy 8.75" blade with rudimentary median ridge, 13.75" overall. Ebony grip with .75" brass capstan. The heavy brass cross guard is decorated w/crude ric-rac engraving at the edges and terminates in decorative finials reminiscent of Aztec carvings. The base of the blade is overlaid with 1" brass panels which are decorated with crude engraving. The inscription is incorporated into the line engraving on one of these panels. The knife is presented in a lined French style casing, probably executed in the late 19th century utilizing a mid 19th century cutlery box which is covered in black Moroccan leather and decorated with gilt embossing. In a recessed compartment in the red silk lined lid is a 1/6 plate ambrotype of James Stevens who, by family tradition captured the knife. The muster rolls of the Army of the Republic of Texas were known to be incomplete due to a fire in 1955. In 1986 the Daughters of the Republic of Texas transcribed and published copies of these muster rolls, at which time the name J. Stevens was not included. However, in 1996 a Texas archivist discovered a cache of these muster rolls and they were consolidated with the previously known information. In the newly discovered muster rolls the name J. Stevens did, in fact, surface. James Stevens enlisted on September 28, 1835 in Col. E. Morehouse's Command, 1st Regiment Texas Volunteers, one of the earliest enlistments recorded, mustering out on August 31, 1836. It is reasonable to assume that this is the same James Stevens who commanded the 22d Texas Volunteer Infantry CSA during the Civil War. Stevens enlisted in 1835 at the age of 18, making him 44 at the outbreak of the Civil War. Although this logical progression has not been proven it is certainly worthy of further in depth research. Also in a recessed compartment in the lid is a heavy 3" X 3.75" brass plaque with a decorative hand engraved border which includes five pointed stars on each corner, inside of this is the following, "Knife taken from Mexican soldier at The Battle of San Jacinto Texas April 21, 1836 by Volunteer J. Stevens Sam Houston (sic) Army". The engraving style utilized on this plaque is more reminiscent of the later rather than the mid 19th century leading to our conclusion that the casing was affected at this date. Accompanying the whole are the results and procedures from a highly detailed forensic analysis conducted by Orenda Laboratories in 2003 stating that all engraving was executed by hand using tools that were in use in the 19th century and that "There is ample evidence to support the authenticity of this war knife as being a genuine historical artifact". There is also extensive accompanying research on Stevens and the Battle of San Jacinto. The action at San Jacinto is characterized on the monument that stands on the battlefield as "...one of the decisive battles of the world. The freedom of Texas from Mexico won here led to the annexation and the Mexican War, resulting in the acquisition by the United States of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. Almost one third of the American nation, nearly a million square miles of territory, changed sovereignty." About 3:30 on the afternoon of April 21, 1836, after several preliminary skirmishes, and during the Mexican siesta period, Houston distributed his troops in battle array, bracketing his line with the "Twin Sisters" cannon. Shielded by trees and a rise in the terrain, the Texans were able to advance with some security and secrecy. Then with the cries "Remember the Alamo" and "Remember Bahia" or "Remember Goliad" ringing along their lines, the Texans swooped down on the dismayed Mexican Army, pursuing and butchering them long after the battle had ended. 630 Mexicans were killed and 730 taken prisoner including Santa Anna himself who was captured on the following day. The Texans lost only 9 killed or mortally wounded and thirty less seriously wounded. It is recorded that the Texans captured 'a large supply of muskets, pistols and sabers'. Doubtless most of the Mexican troops, and the equipment they carried, including this knife, were present at the Alamo. Owing to the relatively small number of troops engaged, as well as the exigencies resulting in the subsequent heavy use of the items that were captured, there are but a handful of pieces remaining from the Texas War of Independence. A rare opportunity to acquire a documented artifact from this tumultuous and highly romanticized period of Texas history. Blade with smooth dark patina. All brass w/dark patina most notably the capstan which is black and untouched. Ambrotype excellent with just a few chips off of the black lacquered backing. Case excellent, near perfect with just some minor exterior scuffing. Provenance- Heritage Auction

CIVIL WAR 59.5" X 39" ANDERSONVILLE PRISON LITHO

Lot #216 (Sale Order 353 of 708)

Large framed lithograph (62.5" x 42" with the frame) of an Andersonville prison camp drawing by Thomas O'Dea, a veteran of the 16th Maine Infantry and Andersonville prisoner. The copyright was secured by O'Dea. The lithograph created by Henry Seibert & Brother 13 & 14 Street, New York. Bordering the main drawing are vignettes of various aspects of camp life. Making this even more impressive is that fact that O'Dea was not an artist and drew this from memory years of the war. In 1887, O'Dea wrote "I never drew a picture before in my life. Were I an artist, I could have completed it in a short time. I commenced this work in the winter of 1879 and finished it in 1885 devoting to it my leisure moments for over 5 years.......In executing the work, I had no picture, map, plan or scale to guide or instruct me, but I relied upon and drew the whole subject from memory. To the casual observer, such a thing may be looked upon as absurd and impossible, that it is impossible after such a length of time for "memory" to retain such a perfect list and one of details as here portrayed and that I must have had assistance from some other source to be able to present such a vast combination of characters and situations in so perfect manner. Ah my friends, had you been there and experienced the sufferings that, in common with the thousands of other unfortunates who "were there," you too, like myself, would have the whole panorama photographed in your memory to remain there to your dying day....". Lower corner damage that does not affect the content. good - very good.

Lot #221 (Sale Order 360 of 708)

Currier & Ives pro-Lincoln satire, deposited for copyright weeks before the 1860 presidential election.

Lincoln (right) stands with his foot on "Home Base," advising the others, "Gentlemen, if any of you should ever take a hand in another match at this game, remember that you must have a good bat' and strike a fair ball' to make a clean score' & a home run.'" His "good bat" is actually a wooden rail labeled "Equal Rights and Free Territory." Lincoln wears a belt inscribed "Wide Awake Club." ( A skunk stands near the other candidates, signifying that they have been "skunk'd." Breckinridge (center), a Southern Democrat, holds his nose, saying, "I guess I'd better leave for Kentucky, for I smell something strong around here, and begin to think, that we are completely skunk'd.'" His bat is labeled "Slavery Extension" and his belt "Disunion Club." At far left John Bell of the Constitutional Union party observes, "It appears to me very singular that we three should strike foul' and be put out' while old Abe made such a good lick.' Bell's belt says "Union Club," and his bat "Fusion." Regular Democratic nominee Douglas replies, "That's because he had that confounded rail, to strike with, I thought our fusion would be a short stop' to his career." He grasps a bat labeled "Non Intervention." While typically seen in a 13.5" x 18" format, this smaller 19th century version measures 7" x 6" and still in its original 19th century frame. The backing paper was partially detached in order to view the back of the lithograph. very good.

KOMAR & MELAMID YALTA CONFERENCE PAINTING 1982

Lot #327c (Sale Order 529 of 708)

The Yalta Conference, by Komar and Melamid This piece was painted in 1982, it’s style being oil on canvas. Komar and Melamid were two artists that formed part of the Official Artist’s Union that decided to expose some of their underground art in 1974. This painting depicts two men, a male body with an extraterrestrial head, and a circus-like canopy in the background. The people showed in this work are Roosevelt, the President of the United States at the time on the right (hidden by an alien face), Hitler in the middle, leader of the Nazi Germany (who was dead at the time), and Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, on the right. The reason they were united was because of a Conference that took place. The Yalta Conference, in 1945, was a meeting between Stalin, Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of England) in order to establish Europe’s new boundaries after World War II. The message this piece intends to convey is that many people think Stalin tricked Roosevelt into allowing the Soviet Union to control the countries of Eastern Europe. Although Hitler was not alive at the time, he appears instead of Churchill. Hitler can be seen with a silencing pose, with one finger over his mouth, hushing us to emphasize the secrecy of the meeting. Roosevelt owns an extraterrestrial head symbolizing that he was not part of the European world and did not understand Stalin’s craft and underhandedness. Stalin appears serious, staring at the viewer with intimidating eyes. Corruption and mischief can be felt in that environment. Our interpretation is not very different to what is really conveyed. Hitler and Stalin s faces inspire mischief and bad vibrations. Corruption is easily spotted and the outsider position of Roosevelt is interesting. The creativity and thought put into replacing his head with an aliens is admirable, and in our opinion is the highlight of the painting. The circus like canopy in the back resembles people being fooled as in circuses, in this case Roosevelt. Hitler’s face is not fully exposed, a shadow covers his left part of the face. His silencing pose automatically inspires us to think negatively about his intentions. Once dubbed “exasperating expatriates” for their relentless, wry mockery of the social, political, and artistic systems of the former Soviet Union, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid met as art students in Moscow, and teamed up in 1965. They worked together until 2004, creating an outpouring of paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, public projects, photographs, music, and poetry, charged with keen criticisms of Communism, consumerism, the art market, and other human excesses. In 1967, they founded the SOTS Art Movement, a mash-up of Socialist Realism, Dada, Conceptualism, and Pop Art. “If pop-art was born by the overproduction of things and their advertising, then Sots Art was born of the overproduction of ideology and its propaganda, including visual propaganda,” Komar once explained. In 1978, they defected from the USSR and moved to America, where they could freely pursue their subversive vision.

WWII 1938 REICHS DAYS ANTI JEW & NEW MUSIC POSTER

Lot #332 (Sale Order 536 of 708)

Nazi Anti-Semitic poster entitled "Degenerate Music a Bill from State Council Dr. H.S. Ziegler." This poster was used to advertise the May 1938 Reichs Days exhibition "Degenerate music". The term "degenerate" music (analogous to degenerate art), during the Nazi era, referred primarily to the musical modernity that did not correspond to the ideology of the Nazis. National Socialism in the German Reich was seen not only as a political but also as a cultural movement, which deliberately broke with the cultural pluralism of the Weimar Republic. Composers of the modern age were vilified as so-called representatives of degenerate music or also of "Negro music", ostracized and politically persecuted, including both "Aryan" and "non-Aryan" artists. Hans Severus Ziegler organized the exhibition "degenerate Music "in which he polemicized against jazz, new music and Jewish artists and composers and whose distance from German music life demanded. The exhibition was then shown in Weimar, Munich and Vienna. The advertising poster used the caricature produced by Ludwig (Lucky) Tersch of a black jazz saxophonist wearing a Star of David. Poster is 23" x 33.25". minor wear. Excellent

WWII NAZI GERMAN M 42 SS SINGLE DECAL HELMET

Lot #335 (Sale Order 541 of 708)

This is your typical late war EF M42 SS helmet in standard slate gray reminiscent of a very dark Coke bottle green. What I have always found to be interesting about M42 EF helmets is the strange way in which the shell was forged as they tend to have what could only be described as inter connected circles in the metal perhaps as a sign of a lack in quality control at the Fulda factory as I have seen these same marbling effect in the metal on most other EF M42’s I’ve handled in the past. The decal is your textbook EF SS where the runes are more rakish than on Quist or ET and similar in design to the C.A. Pocher yet a slightly more rounded lower shield shape. The EF SS decal is the only one which has the lower left rune almost touching the black outer shield line however in this case it is difficult to make out from the scuff marks obscuring this demarcation. The existence of a silver edge line outside of the black outer shield lines suggesting that the EF decal was a face down lacquer applied version as opposed to a face up water slide version as the metallic printed shield on the reverse of the decal would often run slightly outside the outer black border lines. I have noticed this same effect on other M42 EF SS helmets and the same is true on this one. As is typical with M42 EF SS decals there appears to be no protective lacquer coating applied turning what was once bright aluminum/silver into a nice white pulver but still has a nice metallic luster to it which again list most EF M42 SS decals has tended to turn more white than tea toned. The inside liner is pigskin and in excellent condition with it’s original drawstring and ink stamped size 60 with a rear lot number of 2755. This lot number also matches up with other known originals in Brian Ice’s data lot book as being exclusive to SS SD production with two documented of the same lot numbers one being EF66 SS 2755 and the other EF68 2755 with no Heer’s sharing this distinct rear lot number. Both of the helmet in the lot data book are gray green textured finish with a pigskin liner just as this one is. As is typical with EF M42’s the factory stamping is extremely faint and not easy to make out however based on the unique cartoonish font and flat top we know this to be EF. (Eisenwerkes in Fulda)

WWII NAZI M42 HKP68 ITALIAN FRONT CAMO HELMET

Lot #336 (Sale Order 542 of 708)

This great looking southern front camo helmet came from a military estate auction of an advanced collector and appears to be one of those G.I. post war pick ups from an in theater posting possibly from 1945-60’s. I say this because of the glued on piece of paper which still resides in the front brim and reads “Stahlhelm Mod. 43”. The text font and language are both obviously German which suggests that it was perhaps sold post war in some German or Austrian shop to an occupational G.I. whereby the shop keeper mistakenly called it an M43 and not an M42. Difficult to prove any of this of course however the weight of the evidence would lead me to concluded it much more likely came from a German/Austrian shop than from one here in the US. The camo paint is obviously sprayed on by a pneumatic mechanized gun instead of being brushed on and the light tan base followed by darker forest green over spray suggest a southern front possibly Italy, Greece or even the Caucuses. The camo paint shows many areas of craters and depression marks meaning that the original factory paint was obviously worn down and distressed before the camo paint was applied. I have experience this same phenomena in almost every original camo helmet I have ever handled and this one is no different. The helmet is marked HKP68 and so is extra large and has it’s original pigskin late war liner ink marked “60”.

SACHSENHAUSEN CONCENTRATION CAMP BERNHARD FORGERY

Lot #374 (Sale Order 629 of 708)

Operation Bernhard was the name of a secret German plan devised during World War II to destabilize the British economy by flooding the country with forged Bank of England £5, £10, £20, and £50 notes. The real plan was directed by, and named after SS Major (Sturmbannführer) Bernhard Krüger, who set up a team of 142 counterfeiters from among inmates at Sachsenhausen concentration camp at first, and then from others, especially Auschwitz. Beginning in 1942, the work of engraving the complex printing plates, developing the appropriate rag-based paper with the correct watermarks, and breaking the code to generate valid serial numbers was extremely difficult, but by the time Sachsenhausen was evacuated in April 1945, the printing press there had produced 8,965,080 banknotes with a total value of £134,610,810. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, being extremely difficult although not impossible to distinguish from the real thing. Although the initial plan was to destabilize the British economy by dropping the notes from aircraft, on the assumption that while some honest people would hand them in most people would keep the notes, in practice this plan was not put into effect. The Luftwaffe (German air force) did not have enough planes to deliver the forgeries, and by that time the operation was in the hands of SS foreign intelligence. Instead, from late 1943 approximately one million notes per month were printed, and many were transferred from SS headquarters to a former hotel near Merano in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Northern Italy, from where it was laundered and used to pay for strategic imports and to pay German agents. It has been reported that counterfeit currency was used to finance the rescue of the arrested former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in 1943, but there is no evidence to confirm this. The Bank of England first learned of a plot from a spy as early as 1939. It first detected the existence of the notes in 1943, and declared them “the most dangerous ever seen.” Clerks first recorded the counterfeits from a British bank in Tangiers. They were recorded, like all notes, in handwritten ledgers still in the Bank’s archives (every banknote issued by the Bank of England as late as the 1940s was recorded in large leather-bound ledgers, as the notes were a liability of the bank), it was noted that one of the notes had already been recorded as having been paid off. The counterfeiting team also turned its attention to US currency, producing samples of one side of $100 bills on February 22, 1945 with full production scheduled to start the next day, but the Reich Security Main Office ordered the work halted and the press dismantled. Following the evacuation of Sachsenhausen, the counterfeiting team was transferred to Redl-Zipf in Austria, a subsidiary camp of the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp. At the beginning of May 1945, the team was ordered to transfer again, this time to the Ebensee subsidiary camp where they were to be killed together. Their SS guards, however, had only one truck for their prisoners, so the transfer required three roundtrips. The truck broke down during the third trip, and the last batch of prisoners had to be marched toEbensee where they arrived on May 4. The guards of the first two batches of prisoners fled when the prisoners at the Ebensee camp revolted and refused to be moved into tunnels where they would have probably been blown up. The counterfeiters then dispersed among the prisoners at Ebensee. The delayed arrival of the third batch therefore saved the lives of all. As a result of the order that all the counterfeiters be exterminated together, none were actually killed. The Ebensee camp was liberated by US forces on May 6, 1945. One of the prisoners, the Jewish Slovak printer-turned-counterfeiter Adolf Burger, later contributed to the awareness of Operation Bernhard with several versions of his memoirs published in the languages of Central Europe and in Persian. After the war, Major Krüger was detained by the British for two years, then turned over to the French for a year. He said they asked him to forge documents but that he refused. He was released in 1948 without any charges being pressed. In the 1950s, he went before a De-Nazification Court, where statements were produced from the forger-inmates whose lives he had been responsible for saving. He later worked for the company which had produced the special paper for the Operation Bernhard forgeries. He died in 1989.It is believed that most of the notes produced ended up at the bottom of Lake Toplitz near Ebensee from where they were recovered by divers in 1959, but examples continued to turn up in circulation in Britain for many years, which caused the Bank of England to withdraw all notes larger than £5 from circulation, and not reintroduce the denominations until the early 1960s (£10), 1970 (£20), and 1980 (£50). This grouping, part of the Lake Toplitz recovery is to include 5

AUSCHWITZ CONCENTRATION CAMP 1RM COUPON/NOTE MARK

Lot #375 (Sale Order 630 of 708)

Scarce seldom seen UNISSUED Paper token in the value of 1 Mark (Reichsmark), from the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Printed on the front of the token is the inscription "PrÃ¤mienschein Ã¼ber 1 RM/ Konzentrationslager Auschwitz". Such paper tokens were issued in the Auschwitz extermination camp as "bonuses" or work incentives. Zvi Stahl writes in his book "Jewish Ghettos and Concentration Camps' Money" that "these means of payment, in denominations of 1/2 and 1 mark, were given only to chosen inmates of Auschwitz and generally to non-Jewish prisoners, although there is evidence that Jewish prisoners were privileged to benefit from these 'valuable' paper tokens as well. During conversations with Auschwitz survivors, most inmates never laid their eyes on such tokens. They were surprised to hear that such means of payment even existed". Stahl also mentions that in his book "Man's Search for Meaning", Viktor Frankl tells of a 1 mark token that he received in the Auschwitz Extermination Camp and notes that such a token could be exchanged for a dozen cigarettes and the dozen cigarettes could be exchanged for a dozen portions of soup. Such tokens are very rare. [See: Zvi Stahl, Jewish Ghettos and Concentration Camps' Money (1933-1945), London, Holon 1990, pp. 52-56]. The rare note has a crease and small tear on top right. The red color has faded from the front but retains its color on the back. It has been professionally framed and matted. note measures about 3" x 1 3/4" Frame 12"x10"

Niland was awarded a bronze star but not a purple heart. Since it was, however, in his estate, it is included here and perhaps belonged to another family member. The movie "Saving Private Ryan" was loosely based on the actual history of the 4 Niland brothers. The Niland brothers were four American brothers of Irish descent from Tonawanda, New York, who served in the military during World War II. Two survived the war, but for a time it was believed that only one, Frederick "Fritz" Niland, had survived. After the reported deaths of his three brothers, Fritz was sent back to the United States to complete his service and only later learned that his brother Edward, missing and presumed dead, was actually captive in a Japanese POW camp in Burma. Steven Spielberg's 1998 film Saving Private Ryan is loosely based on the brothers' story . Sergeant Frederick "Fritz" Niland (April 23, 1920 – December 1, 1983), H Company, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. Fritz was close friends with Warren Muck and Donald Malarkey, from E Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. Fritz fought through the first few days of the Normandy campaign. Several days following D-Day, Fritz had gone to the 82nd Airborne Division to see his brother, Bob. Once he arrived at division, he was informed that Bob had been killed on D-Day. Fritz was shipped back to England, and, finally, to the U.S. where he served as an MP in New York until the completion of the war. Fritz was awarded a Bronze Star for his service. This story is evidenced in Stephen Ambrose's book Band of Brothers, as well as from biographical data on Sampson. Fritz died in 1983 in San Francisco at the age of 63.

An historic World War Two sailor's bring back consisting of a United States 48 Star US flag (complete but tattered) and a 48 Star US Jack from the USS Charles Lawrence (DE-53/APD-37) , a Buckley-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, that was named in honor of Ordnanceman Charles Lawrence (1916–1941), who was killed in action during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor 7 December 1941. The 48 Star US flag is a four grommet flag with U.S. Navy markings that measures 32" x Approx. 48". The fly end is tattered making exact length meausrement difficult. This wool flag consists of 48 seperately applied machine stitched stars. The heading corners are both reinforced. The 48 Star US Jack has four grommets, has seperately applied machine stitched stars and is reinforced at each heading corner. this wool Jack measures 32" x 48". These flags were originallyh obtained from Northeast Ohio WWII Navy veteran Frank S. Danicek . Included with these flags is a typed history of the USS Charles Lawrence that Danicek received from his friend and former shipmate Bernard "Red" Wade. Assigned first to escort central Atlantic convoys of tankers between Norfolk, Virginia, and Casablanca, Charles Lawrence made one such voyage between 16 August and 24 September 1943. She was then transferred to the high-speed tanker convoys formed at New York City from ships which had sailed independently up the east coast, now swept of the submarine menace, from West Indian oil ports. Between 13 October 1943 and 23 September 1944, Charles Lawrence escorted eight such convoys to Northern Ireland, returning with the tankers in ballast to New York. This flow of the fuel of war was so safely guarded by her group that only one tanker was lost in any of their passages. Along with the constant alertness against submarine attack, Charles Lawrence had to maintain a high standard of seamanship to keep the seas in all kinds of weather. At one time, during what was known as the "Christmas Hurricane" of 1943, the ships of her convoy were virtually hove-to for 20 hours. Charles Lawrence was reclassified APD-37 on 23 October 1944, and was converted to a high speed transport in New York City, and became the name ship of the class. After a brief shakedown, she cleared Norfolk, Virginia, on 27 January 1945 for Pearl Harbor, where she replenished between 22 February and 5 March. She was routed on to Ulithi, where she arrived on 23 March to join the Northern Attack Force Screen for the assault on Okinawa. Charles Lawrence arrived off the Hagushi beaches on 1 April 1945, in the screen for a group of 20 transports. She remained close inshore to guard the launching of the initial assault waves, then moved out to sea to take her place on the semi-circular screen established around the transport area. For three months, she continued to patrol watchfully off Okinawa, guarding against attack by suicide boats and aircraft or submarines. The only interruptions to this vigil came when she was ordered to escort shipping away from the embattled island to ports in the Philippines, Marianas, and Carolines. Firing often against the desperate kamikazes, she escaped injury. After the war, Charles Lawrence covered the landing of occupation forces in the Inland Sea, then acted as transport between the Philippines and Manus. She returned to San Diego on 16 December 1945, and to Norfolk, Virginia, on 30 December. On 21 June 1946 she was decommissioned, in reserve at Green Cove Springs, Florida. The Charles Lawrence received one battle star for World War II service. very good.

WWII 1945 GUSTAV REHBERGER PASTEL FOR WRIGHT FIELD

Lot #395 (Sale Order 658 of 708)

Beautiful original 1945 pastel by Private Gustav Rehberger of a German "Mistel Eins" - composite bomber aircraft This pastel was created for the elaborate 1945 air show held at Wright Field (Wright-Patterson) in Dayton, Ohio. This particular piece is signed by Rehberger in the bottom left corner "Sgt. G. Rehberger" and measures 38" x 29.5" and with the frame is 40.75" x 32.35". The owner of this pastel acquired it in the 1980s at an antique shop in Marietta, Ohio. He eventually wrote to Mr Rehberger to inquire about this painting and received a three page handwritten letter in return. In this letter, Rehberger states, "The interesting thing about your "Mistal EIns" is that I reconstructed it all from captured German blue prints. There was no picture of it". At the end of the letter, after Rehberger signed his name he states, I often wonder what happened to all that military art." Both of these letters, as well as a binder of additional information, are included. Gustav Rehberger was an Austrian born artist who emigrated to America in 1923. Prior to entering the service, the Wartime Committee of the Society of Typographic Artists commissioned Rehberger to paint two murals for the interior of Chicago's Union Station (1942). Rehberger was drafted in 1943 and assigned to the Army Air Corps Special Services.in New York. He initially illustrated training aids and manuals but soon was assigned to do nothing but paintings. After V-J Day he and other members of the New York Special Services office were sent to Wright Field to prepare for the 1945 air show. After his discharge from the Army, Rehberger's illustrations appeared in the national advertising campaigns of Celanese Chemicals, Philip Morris and Sheraton Hotels; were featured in major newspaper and magazines such as Chicago Daily Tribune, The New York Times, and Esquire; and in various Christian publications. In order to focus on painting, in 1969 Rehberger ceased commercial work. From 1972-1993 he taught drawing, anatomy, and composition at the Art Students League of New York. Throughout his career, Rehberger participated in numerous group shows and was the recipient of many awards and prizes. He also had a number of solo exhibitions, among them shows at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Society of Illustrators in New York. Gustav Rehberger died in New York City on July 22, 1995. In reference to the subject matter of this pastel, the Mistel Eins was a German composite bomber aircraft in which a large, unmanned airframe was stocked with explosives to serve as a guided bomb of sorts while carried to its target by way of a compact, manned fighter. It was not until 1944 that Luftwaffe authorities found the idea practical and launched an official program under the name of "Mistel" ("Mistletoe") to develop a realistic battlefield solution. In the conversion of some 100 Ju 88 bomber airframes, the crew components and defensive armament positions were all stripped from the airframe. A simple strut network was affixed to the dorsal spine of the bomber and, to this, was added the fighter portion. The initial prototype was a Bf 109E-4 fighter over a Junkers Ju 88A model series bomber. Excellent condition
