Texas US Representative Brady Preston Gentry (1896-1966) Owned Carved wood and<br>Sterling silver star gavel. I acquired this from a direct descendant of Brady<br>Preston Gentry, it belonged to him. It's the nicest gavel I've ever seen. The<br>carving is amazing, sterling silver stars in gavel and plate, the bag appears to<br>be moleskin, it has carved wood pieces on each side one shaped like Nevada, one<br>Texas, there's even a separate pouch inside the bag for the block. The gavel is<br>8 7/8" long, block 3 1/8" long. My guess is this would have been a gift to him<br>upon his appointment as County Judge in 1930, but it could be from when he was<br>elected to congress in 1952. It looked to have 90 years of tarnish on the silver<br>when it came into my posession, I hand polished it to not remove any patina.<br><br>GENTRY, BRADY PRESTON (1895–1966).Brady Preston Gentry, legislator and lawyer,<br>was born on a farm near Colfax, Texas, on March 25, 1895, the son of Benjamin<br>Whitfield and Virginia Caroline (McPhail) Gentry. He attended Cumberland<br>University and Tyler Commercial College. He was admitted to the bar at the age<br>of twenty-one. During World War I he served as an infantryman in France and rose<br>to captain. He entered public service as a clerk in the office of the Van Zandt<br>County tax collector. After moving to Tyler he served as assistant city tax<br>collector. He was elected county attorney, and in 1930 he became county judge of<br>Smith County, an office he held for four successive terms. During this period he<br>was instrumental in developing the county's road system. In 1939 he was<br>appointed chairman of the Texas Highway Commission by Governor W. Lee O'Daniel.<br>He was the first man to serve as chairman of the commission for a full six-year<br>term.<br><br>During Gentry's tenure on the highway commission, first steps were taken in the<br>development of the state's extensive farm-road program. His work attracted<br>national attention. In 1943 he was elected president of the American Association<br>of State Highway Officials. He also served as a director of the Texas Good Roads<br>Association. When his highway commission term ended in 1945, Gentry turned his<br>full-time efforts to his Tyler law practice. In 1952 he was elected to the first<br>of two terms in the United States Congress from the Third Texas District. As a<br>member of the House committee on highways and roads, he was instrumental in<br>shaping the legislation that launched the development of the national system of<br>interstate and defense highways. In 1957 after his retirement from Congress, he<br>was tendered another appointment as chairman of the Texas Highway Commission. He<br>declined the appointment, however, because of business and personal commitments.<br><br>Throughout his life Gentry was a staunch supporter of Southern Methodist<br>University; he also was a benefactor of Tyler Junior College. Shortly after<br>World War II, he helped form the Tyler Junior College District, and the old<br>college gymnasium was named Gentry Gym in his honor. He died in Houston on<br>November 9, 1966, after a lengthy illness.<br>isshelf

After the War, he settled in Taos, New Mexico, and Bert Phillips, founder of the Taos Art Colony, became one of his best friends. His paintings are in the Gilcrease Institute of American History, the University of Arizona Art Museum, and many private collections.

Tom Dewitt First Phase Style Ingot coin silver Concho Belt Deep stamped sterling. Almost three pounds of Solid Ingot (coin) 90% silver (tested) with weight and measurements in pictures.. 42" long (existing belt holes at 33"-41"), other measurements in pictures. 1 Buckle and 8 conchos, 9 total, each marked with Tom Dewitt‘s early hallmark. I was told this was purchased in the 1970‘s for 6k. I didn‘t really know what to think about that until I saw this in person. Now I believe it, they may have the timing off, maybe not. There are not but a few Southwestern silversmiths capable of executing something like this today and they would charge well over 10k for something this heavy and well executed. A lot of time, skill, and materials went into this belt. Tom Dewitt (American, b.1947-2021) Anglo Santa Fe artist Tom Dewitt is known for creating “old style silver pieces. He is inspired by silverwork from the 1880s-1940s. Toms work regularly is mistaken for being much older than it is. Tom has been creating retro-style jewelry for over four decades and his work is represented in galleries around the country. THOMAS DEWITT OBITUARY THOMAS O‘DELL DEWITT Thomas O‘Dell DeWitt known as Dewey, passed away at home in Santa Fe on June 10 after a hard battle with cancer. His son Matthew DeWitt had been by his side for 24 days. Tom was known for the beautiful silver jewelry and art that he made, the "gift of gab," original one-liners, his generosity, loving nature, and his positive attitude from his Christian Science upbringing. Tom was born in Michigan and raised in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from Venice High in 1965. He began his silver- smith career directly after school while also working as a lighting technician for major venues in L.A. during the wave of the 1960‘s psychedelic rock & roll concerts. He eventually landed a job with Fox Studios working as an electrician for long-running TV series‘ such as M.A.S.H., Dragnet, The Love Boat, and others. He also worked on some big films; The Doors, Lonesome Dove, Natural Born Killers, The Missing, and others. He made frequent trips to Santa Fe starting when he was 21 to buy and sell jewelry, trade and pick up tools. He made New Mexico his home in the 1970s settling in Pojoaque as a silversmith also returning to L.A. for work in the movie and TV business. He was one of the original "Anglo Silversmiths" in New Mexico and a trader. He called his jewelry "old pawn while you wait" because it looked like the old Native American jewelry found in pawn shops. He had a special relationship with the Zuni Pueblo and revered the culture and artistic styles of the Native American silversmiths and artisans. He sold to major galleries in Santa Fe and had a line with Ralph Lauren in the early 2000s. He was extremely talented and people from all over the world collected his work. Tom was a silversmith for 52 years making over 20,000 pieces of southwestern and cowboy style jewelry and art. He met and married his second wife Frances Sayre in Pecos in 1994 and had a son, Matthew DeWitt. He also took under his wing, Frances‘ son, William McLean. Although the marriage did not last they continued to raise the boys together and remain friends. Tom is survived by his son Matthew DeWitt of Santa Fe, stepson William McLean of Medford, OR, and niece Laurie DeWitt of Los Angeles. He was preceded in death by his mother Virginia DeWitt, CSP and his father Edgar Beverly DeWitt.

He went to high school in Chinle, the<br>town at the mouth of the legendary Canyon de Chelly—a stronghold for 19th<br>century Navajo, known then as the “Lords of the Land”. Steeped in mythology,<br>this landscape echoes the strength and beauty in the Navajo bedrock of<br>beliefs—foremost of those is responsibility to family and clan. A husband,<br>father, and grandfather, Tommy is also a world-renowned gold and silversmith,<br>his award-winning pieces on exhibit in museums and treasured in collections<br>around the world. As a premier Navajo Silversmith he counted amongst those few<br>known as “The Supersmiths.”<br><br>Jackson started silversmithing in 1973, learning at the bench of his parents,<br>renowned silversmiths Gene and Martha Jackson. (He is also the nephew of Dan<br>Jackson, another well-known silversmith.) However, it was his mother who urged<br>him to pursue a degree, and he followed her footsteps into education, eventually<br>teaching elementary school at Wide Ruins on the Reservation. But jewelry-making<br>called to him in his spare time, in the after-hours, in the late night, and by<br>1988 he was winning prestigious awards, and has continued winning nearly every<br>year since at the big shows, including Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard. He<br>was also chosen as Navajo Tribal representative for the Salt Lake City Winter<br>Olympics.<br><br>A striking example of Tommy’s pieces is the motif of Navajo rug designs.

Other pieces are a declaration of his passion for high-grade<br>American turquoise. These pieces are all about the great stone. He will use<br>heavy-gauge silver, and in keeping with the old style tradition then chisel or<br>hand-stamp, all with an eye of showcasing a great old American turquoise stone<br>such as Bisbee, Morenci, Lander Blue or Candelaria. He is known for integrating<br>traditional Navajo designs with a modern flair, working with gold and silver and<br>a variety of precious and semi-precious stones.<br><br>He has won numerous awards for his beautiful and unique jewelry from the Heard<br>Museum Show in Phoenix, Santa Fe Indian Market and The Museum of Northern<br>Arizona, to name a few including First at Indian Market, as recently as 2014.

One appears to be signed LL on the base. Selling all three with no issuesTL 1908 - 1980 Torborg Lindberg-Carlsson from Storbäck in Dorotea, Västerbotten. Torborg was born in Högland and then moved at the age of 4 to Röttanberg in Vilhelmina. Torborg found his home in Storbäck. Her creations mainly resulted in the production of smaller statuettes connected to Sami culture. The attention she attracted also led to church decorations in, among others, Ormsjö, Högland's chapel and Risbäck church. At first she carved in aspen, but after a while she switched to Al, which was the material she mainly used, she bought the wood home and let it dry, she had wood for several years lying around to dry.  She usually had a number of figures that were in production where she switched between the figures, on the tray where the figures were usually on the kitchen table where the production took place. Then the figures were painted with watercolor paint in the Southern Sami colors. On average, she carved 2-3 old men per day, which were sold to various customers, but the sales were interrupted until Hemslöjden, where she then received honorary degrees for her work.

Van Briggle Elephant Paperweight in Blue Matte. Great piece from the second quarter of the 20th century. No cracks, chips, or restorations, some crazing with no stains. 3.5" long x 2.5" tall. tw122 Van Briggle Art Pottery was at the time of its demise the oldest continuously operating art pottery in the United States, having been established in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1901 by Artus and Anne Van Briggle. Artus had a significant impact on the Art Nouveau movement in the United States, and his pottery is foundational to American Art Pottery. The Art Nouveau style favored by its founders continues to influence the pottery's designs. Artus Van Briggle settled in Colorado Springs in 1899 after establishing himself as a notable artist with the Rookwood Pottery of Ohio. With Anne Louise (née Gregory), his new wife, Artus began exploring the Art Nouveau style in their pottery creations, drawing awards and accolades from the American and European art communities. Although he was a talented painter who had displayed and won awards in Europe, from 1899 until his death Artus devoted himself almost exclusively to the craft and art of pottery. Van Briggle's Art Nouveau designs and distinctive matte glazes were awarded high honors from prestigious sources, including the Paris Salon, the Saint Louis Exposition, the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, and the American Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Boston. The Van Briggle Pottery Studio closed in spring 2012 Artus Van Briggle in 1900. Born to artistic parents on March 21, 1869, Artus Van Briggle had an early introduction to painting using materials found about the home. The Van Briggle family lived in Ohio, one of America's hotbeds of ceramic design. At the age of 17 he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he decorated china dolls at the Arnold Fairyland Doll Store, while attending his early art studies at the Cincinnati Art School. After a stint at the Avon Pottery where he was introduced to the ceramic arts, Artus took a job at Rookwood Pottery; there he excelled at hand-painting designs. His skill and talent were recognized by Rookwood founder, Maria Storer, who became his benefactor, even sending him to France to study art at the Académie Julian in Paris. In Europe, he was exposed to styles of art and became infatuated with an early matte glaze from the Chinese Ming Dynasty; a type that was lost to history. Artus also met his future wife, fellow American student Anne Lawrence Gregory, an accomplished artist in her own right. Finishing their Paris studies in 1896, they returned to America. Artus resumed his work at Rookwood and also started sculpting and experimented with recreating the lost Ming Dynasty glazes. Perfecting the distinctive dull or matte glaze In 1899, struggling with health issues due to tuberculosis, Artus left Rookwood and moved to the drier air of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Upon befriending the Holmes family of Chico Basin, he stayed at the HOP Ranch during the summers of 1899, 1900, and 1901 to reduce work stress and regain strength while pursuing his own styles of pottery, centered around the Art Nouveau movement. He continued his research on the ancient matte glazes that fascinated him in Paris. After two years of trials and experiments a matte glaze was perfected. One of the matte glazes perfected by Artus was the matte blue glaze, based on an ancient Chinese process that had long been lost to history. Artus opened Van Briggle Pottery in 1901 and was joined by Anne Gregory, who took a position as a high school art teacher in Colorado Springs. In 1903, Artus Van Briggle was appointed First Director of the Department of Art and Design in Colorado College, succeeding Louis Soutter, a Swiss artist (born in Geneva, Switzerland) he met in Paris in 1895. In 1902, Anne and Artus were married, and she devoted herself to their pottery; she created designs and collaborated in all aspects of the enterprise with her husband. Late 1902 brought Van Briggle awards for his glazes and designs in Art Nouveau from the prestigious Paris Salon; he was now an accepted artist. During their early years, Artus and Ann established hundreds of Art Nouveau styles of pottery under the Van Briggle name. The Despondency vase won Van Briggle wide acclaim and first place at the Paris Salon in 1903. A display at the 1904 Centennial Exhibit in St. Louis won Van Briggle more awards and greater international fame. Van Briggle Memorial Pottery Pottery loses its founder Artus Van Briggle died in July 1904, at the age of 35. Anne continued the pottery using the forms created by Artus as a foundation and adding more designs of her own. In 1907, Anne and pottery stockholder and city-founder William Jackson Palmer began construction on a new pottery on Uintah Street. The Van Briggle Memorial Pottery — designed by Dutch architect Nicholas Van den Arend — was opened in 1908 and stands today as an historic landmark noted for its architecture and use of ceramics in the facade. Having remarried in 1908, Anne Louise Gregory Ritter leased the pottery in 1912 to Edmund deForest Curtis, who ran it until 1916. She sold the company in 1922 to J.F. and I.H. Lewis and moved to Denver the following year, where she would concentrate on painting and where she remained until her death in 1929. In her absence, the pottery fell under financial hardships and was sold at sheriff's auction; later it was re-sold, once more becoming the property of Mr. Curtis. Surviving disaster and war The pottery was sold twice more in the ensuing decade and survived a fire in 1919 that gutted the interior but left the brick shell and kilns. New owners I.F. and J.H. Lewis took the opportunity to modernize and expand the facility beginning in 1920 and stabilized the production and financial aspects of the pottery for the first time. Despite damage from the flood of 1935—the most destructive flood in Colorado Springs history — that destroyed much of the company's records and molds, the pottery continued to enjoy success up to World War II, when they closed for approximately three years as the United States focused its resources on the war effort. With the increase of interstate travel in the United States a freeway was planned in 1953 for Colorado Springs which J.H. Lewis estimated would run through the Memorial Plant site. Although the freeway eventually was planned to avoid destroying the historic pottery, Mr. Lewis nonetheless put into action plans to relocate the pottery to a higher-traffic area of Colorado Springs. In 1955, Mr. Lewis and Clem Hull brought a new facility on line at a renovated railroad roundhouse on Midland Road. The new facility, known as the Midland Plant, had a smaller capacity but enjoyed quick success due to its location on the main highway to the Garden of the Gods and other tourist locations. In 1968, Mr. Lewis sold the Memorial Plant to Colorado College, and it fell into disrepair for the ensuing 40 years, being used variously as offices and storage.

This phenomenal owl sculpture was done by renowned art pottery, Van Briggle, in Colorado.   He stands about 9-1/2 inches tall, and was created in the very last part of the 80's, or very beginning of the 1990's, with a high probability of being made in 1989.   Dusty Rose was just starting to be used as a glaze, and very very few of these owls were made with this color glaze. There were a few rouge glazers who experimented with it before it became a mainstream glaze for Van Briggle, and this lucky guy was one of the few, and earliest pieces to use it!  He is clearly marked on the bottom:  His finisher was Clara Beyers, and his glazer was Helen Johnson, signified by the CB and the V incised in the base.  He is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, or crazing.  The color, dusty rose tinged with smoky blue, in my opinion, is what really makes this sculpture special...it's completely haunting and ethereal, and lends something to the whole attitude of the owl. If you love art pottery, you will want to add this spectacular piece to your collection!
