********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

1183

Civil War era STOVE POLISH / BOOT BLACKING

A bit of stove polish shaved into a mite of animal fat, poured off a hot skillet and mixed into a portion of bees wax resulted in, if not the best, the most available, leather dressing / boot polish in the 19th century New England lumber camp. As such, a good stick of graphite base stove polish that had found its’ way into the Yankee lumberjack turned Union Volunteer’s haversack would have become a winter camp prize. Not only would it keep the camp stove presentable, but it would serve to make enough boot dressing to keep the company’s feet dry through the winter with some left for the spring mud season. We have discovered an original store box of Phenix Mfg. Co., Taunton, Mass. PREMIUM STOVE POLISH first introduced 1845, and are offering the label wrapped sticks individually and unopened as they came out of the box. Priced here by the individual piece as they would have been sold and used in the period, each purchaser will receive a nicely printed copy of the illustration (as shown here) as record of the original box with its’ libel bearing the Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1862etc. dating with the introductory date of 1845. A neat item for the Civil War personal item collector, country store or kitchen item enthusiast! All original literally out of the box . please note: ALL ITEMS ARE CURRENT & AVAILABLE UNLESS MARKED SOLD!!.

Kurz & Allison BATTLES OF THE CIVIL WAR prints

We have a small selection of special printing, high quality, 18" X 24" prints taken from the original Krtz & Allen chromolithographs and are offering them here individually to the Civil War historian / collector who would enjoy a quality example of the original that may be unavailable or cost prohibitive. Not to be confused with run of the mill modern re-prints (as we will explain below) the prints offered here were done in limited numbers over twenty-five years ago under the most exacting specifications to be offered only as full sets of the original 36 Kurz & Allen lithographic work BATTLES OF THE CIVIL WAR 1861 – 1865. HISTORY OF THE Kurz & Allen LITHOGRAPHS - The story of these prints and how they came to be is a bit long but worthy of record for those who would enjoy owning one. When the war broke out in 1861 Lincoln asked his friend Louis Kurz to visit the scene of the action and make historical record of what he saw. Kurz’s pictorial representations of what he witnessed were eventually published as widely popular lithographs. His 36 chromolithographic war scenes became highly collectable and quite unique as most of the massive 200 pound Bavarian stone printing plates were lost. As many as ten plates were required to print each of the individual battle scenes ( a separate plate with it’s own printing strike was required for each color). Some time before the Civil War centennial, an avid printer / Civil War buff, C. Armitage Harper embarked on a project to publish the original Kurz series of chromolithographs in special limited edition as celebration of the centennial. Harper traveled tirelessly across the country to gather and secure the printing rights to Kurz war views. He commissioned Stratmore Paper Company to create a special quality, high rag content paper to match as nearly as possible that of the original prints. Harper then commissioned precise lithographic engravings and personally oversaw the painstaking recreation of each scene. It was then that perhaps the inevitable happened. After his already substantial expenditure, Harper found that the cost of binding and distributing the collection as a book was beyond his already strained financial means. The unbound sheets were carefully stored in the printing plant’s basement where they remained until Harpers death some years later when Harper’s son, determined to see some appreciation come to his father’s labor of love, caused the limited number of long stored Kurz lithographs to be made available. Over ten years had now passed since the Civil War centennial however and the flourish of public interest had waned. Most of the prints ended up on print and book sellers remaindered shelve even then to be offered in more costly full sets of 36 lithographs. It was at this time that we were able to acquire a number of the lithographs and set them aside for investment until now when our online store offers a fresh market for these treasures. Each of these original Harper printings of the Kurz Civil War lithographs is of the highest quality and condition, suitable for framing and display in the finest surroundings. Offered here for the first time individually for the collector / historian who would appreciate a single rendering. We have only one or two of each of the following for your selection. The Battles of: BULL RUN, WILSON’S CREEK, FORT DONELSON, PEA RIDGE, MONITOR & MERRIMACK, SHILO, WILLIAMSBURG, CORINTH, STONES RIVER, CHAMPION HILL, CHICKAMAUGA, CHATTANOOGA, MISSIONARY RIDGE, ASSAULT OF FORT SANDERS, OLUSTEE, RESACA, KENNESAW MOUNTAIN, ATLANTA, CEDAR CREEK, FRANKLIN, NASHVILLE, CAPTURE OF FORT FISHER, FIVE FORKS, FALL OF PETERSBURG. If you have a serious interest in a particular print that is listed but not pictured and would like to see an illustration before deciding, let us know and we will send you an e-Mail with an image of your interest.

Civil War veteran’s CELLULOID 6th CORPS BADGE

This 1 ¼" diameter celluloid button was made for complementary distribution by the National Tribune to gathering veterans of the hard fought 6th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac. Given that the button dates to the 1910 / 1915 period when the number of surviving veterans still physically able to travel for reunion was growing thin, these celluloid corps badges were quite limited in number with surviving examples becoming quite desirable on today’s collectors market.
This one remains in excellent condition with no fading, scratches or other blemishes. The original paper back insert ( COMPLEMENTS OF THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE etc.) remains in place. Collectors of Civil War veteran material will remember that the National Tribune was published in Washington, D.C. well after the war and served generally as the organ of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.). In more recent times, it morphed into what is now the Stars and Stripes. Of additional interest is the fact that we acquired this item some years ago from the personal collection of pioneer collector and widely published early Civil War scholar Dr. Francis Lord who authored the multi volume Lord’s Civil War Collectors Encyclopedia. A neat item for the Civil War corps badge or veteran collector.

In the pre plastic world of the 19th century everything from buttons to surgical instrument handles and even poker chips were found made from this substitute for bone or ivory . An attractive display companion for any Civil War, Indian Wars, wild West or period gaming collection, these nicely patinaed poker chips are in excellent, all original condition.

These brightly colored little paper battle flags (illustrated here with a U.S. quarter for size comparison)are still on there original common pin shafts and remain in "out of the box" condition after decades of storage.

R. made a ready market for such inexpensive patriotic embellishments. A neat little display item.
