Huge Antique Miners Presentation Pocket Watch 50mm works 70mm case 58mm dial in<br>vintage customized art glass desk caddy. This is an amazing very big watch, The<br>works measure 2" or 50mm, this would be a 23 size if there were such a thing<br>which I don't think there is. Also it is in an extra large case. I believe the<br>watch to be from the last quarter of the 19th century, the holder was likely<br>made later and the watch was likely offered as a presentation gift in the holder<br>at a later date. WTG could stand for West Texas Gas or West Texas Gulf, maybe.<br>The desk caddy is extremally heavy and 4" tall. The watch works and appears to<br>keep good time, it has minor damage to the porcelain dial at the base of the<br>dial. The case is French marked Depose, works are Swiss with no other<br>identifying marks.

Great piece from the 1890's to about 1910 at the latest. 16" wide x 3.5" deep with no cracks, chips, or restorations, expected wear to gilding on rim. Exremely rare to find a piece like this with the original label as in the late 20th century many would have removed this label and presented this as a mid 19th century piece. Personally I don't think it matters whether this is 1860 or 1900, it's the same piece and definitely a handmade antique that would cost much more than I'm asking for it to make today with all this hand painted work involved. I think it's nice to be able to put a definite date on it rather than guessing. isshelf

Weight and measurements in pictures. No damage or issues, tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver. 8 Conchos and one buckle, circa second quarter of the 20th century, hallmarked as shown. 570 grams. Diné silversmith Ike Wilson worked for many years for the Kelsey Trading Company at Zuni. He did silverwork for many of the Zuni lapidary artists including Ida Vacit Poblano. He often collaborated with his wife, Katherine Wilson. Navajo Nation artist Ike Wilson (1900-1942) would sign his creations with his bow and arrow hallmark. There has been some confusion in the past about the hallmark of Ike Wilson (1901-1942). It seems that sometimes his work was attributed to Austin Wilson. Both men were born in the same year and in a similar area of the reservation and both men worked at times for trader C. G. Wallace and the Kelsey Trading Company. Ike Wilsons work is signed with a bow and arrow. After his death in 1942, his wife Katherine Wilson (1907-1985) continued to use his hallmark. The bow and arrow hallmark was initially attributed to Ikes contemporary, Austin Wilson, but the corrected attribution was published in Messier, 2014.

He taught ceramics at UT for seven years — one of the first Hispanics to teach in the art department — then at St. Edward’s University and Austin Community College for a total of more than 30 years..“He was a modest, generous mentor and major inspiration to many artists,” said his widow, Cynthia Leigh. “He taught thousands of students over his lifetime. Many of his students decided to become artists from his encouragement and support. He did not try to mold his students to imitate his work; he encouraged them to follow their own artistic path and draw on their own talents. B26

He was 84.<br><br>“Ishmael’s passing is a loss for us all in the community,” said Sylvia Orozco,<br>director of Mexic-Arte Museum. “He was a great human being, teacher and artist.<br>Ishmael was one of the first, if not the first Mexican-American Austinite to<br>become a professional visual artist.”<br><br>Artist and teacher Ishmael Soto died Feb. 27 at age 84. Contributed by Tahila<br>Mintz<br><br>Soto won many prizes and was exhibited frequently in group and solo shows.<br><br>A native Austinite, Soto earned his first degree from the University of Texas<br>and his second from the famed Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. His 57th<br>Annual Potters Show and Sale took place in December 2016. He taught ceramics at<br>UT for seven years — one of the first Hispanics to teach in the art department<br>— then at St. Edward’s University and Austin Community College for a total of<br>more than 30 years..<br><br>“He was a modest, generous mentor and major inspiration to many artists,” said<br>his widow, Cynthia Leigh. “He taught thousands of students over his lifetime.<br>Many of his students decided to become artists from his encouragement and<br>support. He did not try to mold his students to imitate his work; he encouraged<br>them to follow their own artistic path and draw on their own talents”
