Handgeschmiedete Betty-Lampe aus der Kolonialzeit um 1800
Schöne schwere Betty-Lampe aus geschmiedetem Eisen. Sehr geringfügiger Verlust an der Türspitze, keine weiteren Probleme, keine Löcher. 3 3/8" x 4,25", 10,5" hoch mit ausgefahrenem Kleiderbügel. Diese frühe Betty-Lampe verbrannte im 19. Jahrhundert Fett zur Beleuchtung. Der Name „Betty-Lampe“ leitet sich vom deutschen Wort „besser“ ab. Sie war der Rushlight- oder Splint-Lampe weit überlegen und entwickelte sich aus der Crusie-Lampe mit der Hinzufügung einer Abdeckung und einer Dochthalterung, die sicherstellte, dass vom Docht tropfendes Öl/Fett zurück in den Behälter floss. Die Betty-Lampe war wahrscheinlich das am weitesten verbreitete Beleuchtungsmittel bei Menschen mit mittlerem oder niedrigem Einkommen, bis raffiniertes Walöl üblich wurde. Mit einem gedrehten Baumwolldocht verbrannte er praktisch geruchs- und rauchfrei jegliches Fett oder Öl, das vorhanden war. B70

c1911 William Comyns British sterling silver potpourri box reticulated jewelry
c1911 William Comyns British sterling silver potpourri box reticulated jewelry. Weight and measurements in pictures, a zillion times nicer than the pictures suggest. Amazing work of art with no damage or significant wear. Lightweight cloth liner. William Comyns & Sons was one of the most notable London silversmithing firms of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, renowned for its exceptional decorative silverwork. William Comyns founded the company in 1858, following his apprenticeship with George J. Richards. He initially operated from the former premises of silversmith Robert Tagg at 2 Carlisle Street, Soho, London, where he registered his first makers mark (W.C in a four-tipped oval) in 1859. The firm quickly gained recognition for its finely crafted silverware, particularly elaborate dressing table sets, vanity boxes, and pictorial repoussé work. As demand grew, Comyns expanded operations, acquiring additional premises on Beak Street and Regent Street. In 1885, his sons, Charles and Richard, joined the business, leading to its renaming as William Comyns & Sons. Comyns silverware was retailed by some of the worlds most prestigious firms, including Tiffany & Co., The Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company, and leading London retailers such as Henry Lewis and Howell & James. Among its most distinctive creations were silver and tortoiseshell pieces featuring delicate piqué work, a technique of inlaying fine silver patterns into tortoiseshell. These, along with jewellery boxes, toiletry sets, clocks, and other objets dart, were crafted in ornate Victorian and flowing Art Nouveau styles, highly prized for their intricate designs and exceptional quality. Following William Comyns death in 1916, his sons navigated the challenges of World War I. After Charles passed away in 1925, the firm became a limited liability company under Richard Comyns. The firm survived through the interwar years and continued producing high-quality silverware. In 1953, Bernard Copping acquired the company, but it changed hands multiple times in the following decades. William Comyns & Sons eventually ceased trading and was formally liquidated in 1987. Despite its closure, Comyns silverware remains highly collectible, admired for its refined craftsmanship and historical significance in British silversmithing.

William Waldo Dodge Westport Yacht Club hammered sterling silver creamer trophy
William Waldo Dodge Westport Yacht Club hammered sterling silver creamer trophy. Weight and measurements in pictures, a zillion times nicer than the pictures suggest. Amazing work of art with no damage or significant wear. William Waldo Dodge, Jr. (1895-1971), architect and craftsman, was one of the leading figures in Ashevilles architectural scene as well as an illustrious and well-known silversmith. He was part of an important larger movement in Asheville that expressed the influences of the romantic and Arts and Crafts movements in a variety of media from architecture to silver, pottery, weaving, and other arts. His personalized work attracted liberal patronage, even during the Great Depression, from clients who could still afford to build, and his buildings remain treasured expressions of his craftsmanly approach to architecture. Dodge was born in Washington, D. C. in 1895, the son of William W. and Margaret Parker Dodge. His father was a patent attorney who headed a successful family legal practice in the nations capital. William, Jr., attended the Friends School in Washington and then Philips-Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He was sent to Princeton University to prepare for a career in law, but after a year decided that he did not want to be an attorney and enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study architecture. He was graduated from MIT with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1916. From Cambridge, with World War I looming, he went to Plattsburg, New York, and enrolled in officers training school. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant and sent to France as a member of the American Expeditionary Force. Wounded in battle, he was awarded a Silver Star and Purple Heart. Exposure to chlorine gas during the war aggravated Dodges tubercular condition, and after the war, he was treated at the veterans hospital at Oteen near Asheville, North Carolina, a community long regarded as having a climate and surroundings beneficial to patients afflicted with lung diseases. This assignment brought Dodge to the Asheville area, where he spent most of the rest of his life. At Oteen he taught crafts to fellow patients and developed an interest in silver and copper smithing. After he was released from the hospital, Dodge moved to Connecticut and married Margaret Robinson, but a relapse forced him to enter Gaylord Tuberculosis Sanitorium. While he was convalescing there, the Dodges studied silversmithing. After his discharge, the couple moved to Asheville, where Dodge briefly taught physics and mechanical drawing at the Asheville Boys School. He opened a silversmith shop on Charlotte Street in Asheville and created over the years a unique and widely admired body of artistic silver work. Early in the 1920s, a prominent Asheville citizen asked Dodge to design a residence for him, and Dodge planned for him the lavish Tudor Revival style Hammond-Knowlton House (1925). Drawing upon his training at MIT, Dodd added architectural practice to his silversmiths craft. With Asheville in the midst of a boom period, he found abundant opportunities and in 1927 moved to a shop he designed and built in the new suburban community of Biltmore Forest, developed on a portion of the Biltmore Estate. An account of Dodges practice was published in the American Architect in November, 1928, illustrating his silverware, workshop, and studio, and describing him as “an architect by profession and a craftsman by avocation. In 1929 Dodge obtained a license to practice architecture in North Carolina, and he continued to attract or find commissions during the Great Depression. Blending English, French, and rustic elements already favored in the mountain city, where the mountain setting and the romantic (and French) aura of Biltmore exerted strong influences, Dodge rendered these themes in picturesque compositions enriched with handcrafted detailing that appealed to the wealthy residents of Asheville and Biltmore Forest. His own shop and other small buildingsincluding repurposed log cabins from the regiondisplay his intricately crafted details and rustic motifs on a modest scale, while larger houses such as the William A. Knight House II in Biltmore Forest combine brick, stucco, stone, and wood, and individually designed details of wood carvings, hinges, sculptures, and more to evoke the spirit of a French chateau. In 1942, facing the wartime hiatus in private construction, he and five other western North Carolina architects banded together to form the architectural firm of Six Associates to enable them to compete for defense contracts and other large projects. Although the firm continued and expanded after the war, in 1947 Dodge withdrew to resume his own practice, which he pursued until his retirement in 1956. His son William Waldo Dodge, III, followed him in the profession with a large practice in Raleigh. Note: A large collection entitled the William Waldo Dodge Architectural Drawings, 1916-1989 (MC 00372) was donated in 2010 to the Special Collections Research Center at NCSU Libraries. Although most of the drawings are from the firm of Dodge III, there are several by Dodge, Jr., especially from the post-World War II period. When processing is complete and further field checking can be done, additional entries will be inserted in the building list. In the meantime readers may consult the preliminary inventory at http://library.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00372.

1933 Boy Scout Silver Beaver Award With Certificate Frank Griffin Saginaw Michig

The medal itself is solid sterling marked so weighing about 48<br>grams. This was awarded 2 years after the award was created so it is extremely<br>rare to find one this early especially named with the certificate.<br><br>I have a fairly large lot of Frank Griffin‘s Scouting items going back to the<br>20‘s. This listing is for this medal and certificate which I know to be<br>extremely important, I‘m still trying to decide how to do the rest of the lot as<br>I know it might be irresponsible to split it up. It ranges from the 20‘s to the<br>60‘s with photographs from the first quarter of the 20th century, scoutmaster<br>paperwork from the 20‘s and 30‘s, merit badges with paperwork, etc.<br><br>ABOUT THE AWARD<br><br>The Silver Beaver Award is the council-level distinguished service award of the<br>Boy Scouts of America. Upon nomination by their local Scout council and with the<br>approval of the National Court of Honor, recipients of this award are registered<br>adult leaders who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service<br>given to the council.[1] The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who<br>implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work,<br>self-sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service. It is given to those who<br>do not seek it.<br><br>Award<br>The medal consists of a silver beaver pendant suspended from a blue and white<br>ribbon worn around the neck. Recipients may wear the corresponding square knot,<br>with a white strand over a blue strand, on the BSA uniform. There is also a<br>lapel pin authorized and available for civilian wear.<br><br>Using the United States Military as the model, silver awards are the highest<br>awards in the BSA.<br><br>History<br>The Silver Beaver was introduced in 1931 as a pin-on medal, but due to the heavy<br>weight of the medallion it was switched over to a neck ribbon in mid-1932. A<br>blue-white-blue ribbon bar was introduced in 1934 for informal uniform wear. In<br>1946, ribbon bars were replaced by the current knot insignia.<br><br>The Silver Beaver was initially awarded only to men. The Silver Fawn Award, an<br>equivalent for women, was awarded starting in 1971. It used the same knot<br>insignia, but on a blue background, as women were mostly involved in Cub<br>Scouting during this period. The Silver Fawn was discontinued and the Silver<br>Beaver began to be awarded to women in 1974. A total of 2,455 Silver Fawns were<br>awarded to outstanding women for support of Cub Scouting before the award was<br>discontinued in 1974.<br><br>As this is a council BSA award, it is conceivably possible for a person to<br>receive this award multiple times from different councils. It is believed that<br>12-16 people are double-recipients of the Silver Beaver in this manner. There is<br>no record of a triple-recipient.<br>b3

1709 French Land Grant Texas?
1709 French Land Grant Texas? The acrylic case measures 17" tall x 20" wide. I haven't had a chance to figure out what territory is being discussed here as I don't speak French. I did acquire it with some early Texas documents/land grants with presidential signatures but none quite this old. I feel like this is likely a really important document and would be grateful for any type of info regarding the territory discussed here or anything else.

Large Azurite Sterling silver reversible handmade cross pendant
Large Azurite Sterling reversible handmade cross. Illegible signatures on bail 3.5" tall with bail, 2.5" wide x 34.3 gramsAll precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist.

c1800 Hand Forged colonial betty lamp
c1800 Hand Forged colonial betty lamp. Great lamp from the 18th to first half of 19th century, functional with no damage. 10.5" tall with hook extended, 4.75" x 4 1/8" wide. Nice no brainer patina. This early betty lamp burned grease for lighting in the 19th century. It is called a 'betty lamp' which comes from the word 'besser' in German (meaning better). Far superior to the rushlight or splint lamp, it evolved from the crusie lamp with the addition of a cover and a wick support which ensured that any oil/grease drippings from the wick flowed back into the reservoir. The betty lamp was probably the most widely used means of lighting among people of middle or lower income until refined whale oil became common. It burned any fat or oil that was available virtually without smell or smoke, using a twisted cotton wick. B70

This and a few more Battersea pieces I'm listing have tags indicating they were last purchased at Sotheby's Parke-Bernet in the 1970's.Having already opened an office in New York, in 1964 Sotheby’s bought Parke-Bernet, America’s largest fine art auction house.Battersea boxes developed in the mid 18th century as tiny decorative containers covered with enamel or porcelain and decorated with pleasing designs. Originally the boxes were made of copper covered with white enamel, decorated with classical or religious scenes or portraits. They evolved over time to become more sentimental. The Battersea box got its name from a firm under the tutelage of Sir Stephen Theodore Janssen, Once Lord Mayor of London at York House in Battersea. The boxes were decorated by transfer printing, which took an impression from an engraved plate painted with enamel and printed on to the box which was then hand painted and fired. The firm existed only from 1753 to 1756 however other firms producing similar boxes, especially those in the village of Bilston, took up this technique. Battersea became the collective name for all such boxes. With advancements in the pottery industry due to the Industrial Revolution, Battersea boxes gradually fell from favour. Allowing small boxes to be produced at less cost than the enameled competitors made Battersea boxes decline significantly by the mid 19th century. They became popular again in the second half of the 20th century with the development of commemorative boxes produced for such well known firms as Tiffany & Co.

Antique Meyer Texas Stoneware Jug 2 qt
Antique Meyer Texas Stoneware Jug 2 qt. Excuse me for calling this cute, but it is. Great size. I'm guessing at the 2qt, maybe 1 qt, definitely not a gallon, don't have time to check. 8.5" tall x 6" wide with handle, a few very small nicks on top rim. No large chips, no cracks, no restorations.Meyer Pottery Co. 1887 - 1964 Franz Schultz founded this company in 1887 with his son in law William Meyer at the Atascosa Community in Bexar County just Southwest of San Antonio. Schultz, an 1885 immigrant from Germany, was reared in a pottery-making family, and, upon his arrival in Texas, he found work in the pottery shop of William Saenger. Shortly thereafter he was joined by William Meyer, who had arrived in Texas on the same ship with Schultz. Meyer not only went to work for Saenger, but married Schultz's daughter Mary. Soon Meyer's sister Maria arrived with her potter husband Ernst Richter, who would go on to establish the Star Pottery Co. in Elmendorf. When Schultz and Meyer got word of a good clay outcropping at Atascosa to the west, they set up their own company to produce all types of utilitarian stoneware. The Meyer Pottery was one of very few Texas companies of the period who continued to rely primarily on a native clay source for their slip glaze. Rejecting the newly available commercial Bristol and Albany slips, the Meyer Co. chose, either for aesthetic or financial reasons, to dig their own slip clay from the banks of nearby Leon Creek. It is primarily this slip, unique in Texas pottery, that makes the Meyer work so recognizable. Also their shoulder-to-shoulder ring handle attachment is rare on Texas pottery. The Leon slip fires to a wide range of colors from dark brown to light mustard. Most have a greenish tint. Upon William Meyer's death in 1920, his two sons, Frank Meyer (b. 1888) and Gustav (Gus) Meyer (b. 1896) took over the family business. They continued to manufacture utilitarian vessels well into the 1940s. I know of no piece of normal production utilitarian ware with a "Meyer" mark. There is a handful of "specialty" items with marks, including advertising pieces and a type of cistern float. But it is the striking, mustard to brown to olive green "Leon Slip" glaze that is the best known Meyer signature, and this is a beautiful example of that classic look.
