    18" c1890 Elgin Wind and Power Rainbow Tail Rooster Windmill weight. This is<br>directly from the Estate of Milt Simpson the author of the book shown, I'm<br>including the first edition copy of the Windmill Weights book with dust jacket<br>shown. Also including the custom stand shown. Measures about 18.5" x 17" and<br>weighs about 60 pounds.. I'll be offering one more weight also from his estate.<br><br><br>Milton Simpson (1911-2023)<br>Milton – also known by his friends and acquaintances as Milt - was born and<br>raised in Brooklyn, New York City and raised his family in Millburn, New Jersey.<br>He attended the New York School of Industrial Art (SIA), now the School of Art<br>and Design. He then worked for Incorporated Ideas Advertising Agency in New<br>Jersey before joining the United States Army, serving in Korea.<br>After his discharge from the Army, Milt attended The Workshop School of<br>Advertising & Editorial Art. Upon completion of his studies there, he became the<br>Art Director of The American Baby Magazine in New York, Assistant Art Director<br>at Lewin, Williams & Saylor in New Jersey, and then Art Director of Kenyon-Baker<br>Advertising & Baker Printing Company, (both of which were under one roof) in New<br>Jersey. (He left there because the promised air conditioner was never<br>installed!)<br>He then worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator for several<br>years.<br>In 1964, he and business partner Don Johnson founded the firm of Johnson &<br>Simpson Graphic Designers with Milt as president. They were based in a townhouse<br>in beautiful downtown Newark, New Jersey and specialized in corporate<br>communications. The design projects they took in included annual reports,<br>corporate magazines, capability brochures, posters, museum catalogs, trademarks<br>and books. Their clients included Conoco, Johnson & Johnson, New Jersey Bell,<br>Hoffmann-La Roche, The Newark Museum and Singer Corporation.<br>The firm was featured in every major design publication, was recognized by over<br>350 graphic design awards and he and Don were inducted into the New Jersey Ad<br>Club's Advertising Hall of Fame in 1991.<br>Milt also served on the Advisory Board of The Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce<br>and was an Adjunct Professor (Publication Design) at Montclair State College.<br>The New Jersey Art Directors Club voted Milt Art Director of the Year in 1972.<br>Books were his passion. He couldn't seem to get them out of his system and<br>didn't try to. For many years he produced and self-published a series of<br>Artists' Books using several print-on-demand platforms. Milt was always a<br>student and appreciator of quirky, eccentric and irrational human behavior.<br>These Artists' Books were very much influenced by his observations and<br>obsessions.<br>Among many others too numerous to mention, he wrote "Windmill Weights" which was<br>self-published and "Folk a" published by HarperCollins.<br><br>If it weren’t for its folk art appeal, the windmill counterbalance weight<br>probably would not be as highly collectible as it is today. But the windmill<br>weight is more than just a pretty face: It’s a key component of the vaneless<br>windmill produced in the late 1800s.<br><br>Vintage farm-style windmills that pumped water came in two basic varieties.<br>Vaned windmills used a tail, or vane, to guide the wheel into the wind. Vaneless<br>mills depended on a counterbalance weight, perched at the end of a wood beam, to<br>perform that function.<br><br>Counterbalance weights represented a short-lived but stylish variation of tail<br>technology in windmill production. The Halladay Standard windmill, manufactured<br>by the U.S. Wind Engine & Pump Co., (USWE), Batavia, Ill., was the first<br>manufacturer to employ a patented self-regulating wheel that would place itself<br>in or out of sail depending on the strength of the wind. This “folding” mill was<br>first developed with a wooden vane in 1854. Early catalogs from various windmill<br>manufacturers show mills with wood tails.<br><br>In the 1880s, USWE introduced a vaneless version of the Halladay Standard. The<br>Vaneless Standard, as it was called, utilized a star-shaped counterbalance<br>weight instead of a tail. This mill was produced until 1916; other companies<br>produced their own versions with different styles of weights into the 1930s. As<br>a general rule, counterbalance weights were used only on folding wheel<br>windmills, while tails were used on both early folding wheel and later solid, or<br>fixed, wheel windmills. “Once they came up with a light, sturdy metal for the<br>windmill tail,” explains collector Bob Popeck, “it was a whole new ball game.”<br><br>Weights not only served as a counterbalance but also as a marketing device,<br>identifying the mill’s manufacturer in a recognizable manner. “But basically,<br>the windmill weight just kept the wheel directed into the wind and prevented the<br>whole thing from tipping over,” Bob says. Today, these weights are prized by<br>windmill enthusiasts, such as the Popecks, and collectors of folk art.

    18" Margot De Taxco Mid Century Modernist sterling dangly necklace. 18" long with 5mm-25mm width with dangles. No issues, 44 grams.Margot Van Voorhies was born in 1896 in San Francisco, California. By the time<br>she left her native country for good, she had survived the death of her father<br>in 1903, the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, the loss of her mother at the<br>hands of a er in 1931 and the end of her first marriage in 1936.<br><br>Fortunately, a Mexican vacation changed the life of Margot Van Voorhies in ways<br>she could never have imagined. In 1937, forty-one-year-old divorcée Margot Van<br>Voorhies left San Francisco on a trip to Mexico City. Fate threw her into the<br>path of Don Antonio Castillo, who took her to Taxco, a Mexican hotbed for the<br>design, crafting, and production of silver objects, in particular jewelry and<br>housewares.<br><br>Soon, Castillo would become Margot’s second husband. At the time, Castillo was<br>working for William Spratling, a pioneer in Mexican silversmithing. He brought<br>Margot into the business as a designer, helping her to transform her paper<br>creations into three-dimensional forms in silver. In 1939, the pair, along with<br>other members of Castillo’s family, opened shop as Los Castillo Taller [Taller<br>is Spanish for “Workshop”], with Margot as the top designer.<br><br>After ten years, the marriage between Castillo and Van Voorhies dissolved, as<br>did their professional association. Margot went on to open her own shop in 1948,<br>taking the name Margot de Taxco, by which she is best known today. Seven years<br>later, enamel was added to many of her pieces, and this is where Margot found<br>her legacy.<br><br>At the peak of her career, Margot, who designed each piece herself, had two<br>dozen silversmiths and a dozen enamellists in her employ to execute her vision.<br>The men performed the duties as silversmiths; the women did the enamel work,<br>using tiny brushes to bring the watercolor drawings to life. To ensure the<br>accurate rendering of her jewelry designs, she compiled a book of instructions<br>and drawings, detailing the construction and finishing of each. Margot attracted<br>talented craftsmen who later went on to cement their own reputations, such as<br>Sigi Pineda, Miguel Melendez, and Melecio Rodriguez.<br><br>Many contemporary Hollywood celebrities were clients of Margot, including John<br>Wayne and Lana Turner, who visited her shop every year.<br><br>Tragedy struck in the form of a fire in 1960. Forced to move her studio, she<br>never again regained her prior success, and the business folded in 1974. Margot<br>granted several of the silversmiths in her employ permission to use her molds to<br>create pieces on their own, in return for debt forgiveness. As a result, many of<br>Margot’s pieces were re-created by silversmiths such as Jaimie Quiroz and<br>Geronimo Fuentes, bearing their hallmark rather than hers.<br><br>Margot passed away in 1985. But her talent as a designer and her influence as an<br>artist have continued to gain recognition since the time of her death.<br><br>Margot’s shop produced some repousse silver (a technique where a raised or<br>relief design is hammered in from the reverse side of the piece). But she is<br>best known for her champlevé enamel work. Champlevé is created by carving,<br>etching, striking, or casting troughs or cells into the surface of a piece and<br>filling it with vitreous enamel. In Margot’s jewelry, the designs were<br>die-struck, a process that was detailed and critical to the final product.<br><br>Margot produced many suites that included necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and<br>earrings, as well as convertible jewelry. Margot de Taxco jewelry is recognized<br>for its elegance, femininity, and variety.<br><br>There were many areas of influence that can be found in Margot’s work. Her fish<br>and wave motifs celebrated her love of Japanese art. The ornate swirls and<br>floral motifs were reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. Mischievous<br>pre-Columbian figures were a recurring theme. Art Deco style ballerinas struck<br>graceful poses. Margot was also taken with Egyptian motifs and Mexican crafts.<br><br>Margot de Taxco pieces are distinguished by the stamp that includes her name,<br>Eagle 16 (or Eagle 1, for her earlier works), along with a production number.<br>Issued by the government, the eagle stamp was a way to identify th

Incapacitated by an unfortunate accident<br>at the factory in 1802, he was unable to engage in the day to day business. On<br>his death in 1829 the executors administered a long standing agreement which saw<br>William Taylor Copeland running the London retail business as well as holding<br>one quarter share in the factory. At the termination of the agreement on March<br>1, 1833, Copeland purchased the remaining shares in the factory and the London<br>business. Being greatly involved in in politics, in developing art school<br>education, and living the life of a well to do London gentleman, Copeland<br>engaged one of his senior London employees as a partner and Thomas Garrett took<br>responsibility for overseeing the smooth running of the Stoke factory.<br><br>The factory grew in size during this partnership and the production of<br>porcelain, earthenware, and stoneware continued. New shapes were added and<br>patterns and designs were influenced by the rococo revival that dominated<br>fashions in the 1830s. Copeland & Garrett's bone china and felspar porcelain<br>attracted the attention of highest echelons of society, and after her Majesty<br>Queen Victoria's accession to the throne in 1837, she acquired wares for both<br>Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Despite the prominence of their porcelain<br>productions they continued to make earthenware in even larger quantities with<br>markets at home and abroad. Among their finest productions are the printed<br>patterns some of which were traditional designs from Spode's time and other<br>newer patterns introduced for the contemporary market.<br><br>After 14 years, in 1847, the partnership was dissolved and Garrett returned to<br>London while Copeland continued to run the business.<br>tw221

    1856 Grosjean & Woodward for Tiffany Antique American silver mug, sterling silver 3.75" tall x 3.25" wide base not including handle. 194.1 grams, a few small dents, no major issues, <br><br>The names Elijah Woodward and John H. Woodward appear separately in the Boston directory as silversmiths in 1841 (though no place of business is listed for either); John’s home is listed as 12 Madison Place, and Elijah boarded at 34 Pitts. No Grosjean appears in the Boston directories until 1847 – 1851, when one is listed as the second-named partner in the firm of Woodward & Grosjean at 13 Court Square. In 1852 Woodward and Grosjean have disappeared from the directory. It is unclear whether Woodward is Elijah or John or what Grosjean’s given name was.<br>Woodward and Grosjean apparently moved to New York City to work by 1853, and the name of the firm was changed to Grosjean & Woodward. The pair worked there for some years as major suppliers for Tiffany & Co. The obituary for Tiffany designer Charles T. Grosjean in the Jewelers’ Circular of April 1888 notes that he “learnd the silversmith’s trade from his father, of the late firm of Grosjean & Woodward.” When the elder Grosjean died, his son joined the Tiffany firm.<br><br>Charles Tiffany was born February 15, 1812 in Killingly, Connecticut. About 25<br>years later, in 1837, Charles Tiffany and John Young, and later in 1841, they<br>added J.L.. Ellis as a partner, began Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower<br>Manhattan. That company at the time was founded at first to sell fancy goods and<br>stationery. Tiffany bought his parents shares of the company in 1853 and changed<br>the focus of the company to sell upscale jewelry and merchandise. Once Tiffany<br>bought his parent’s shares, the company was renamed to Tiffany & Co. In 1867,<br>Tiffany & Co. was the first United States based company to win an award for<br>excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1868, the<br>company became incorporated, had four stores and was on the right path to<br>continue to grow to the company that it is today.<br><br>A Humble Start<br>When Young and Tiffany began their business, they originally started off with<br>offering items such as stationery and merchandise before moving on to offering<br>jewelry and silverware. The business continued to grow and manufacture jewelry,<br>and later opened a location in Paris. His stores adopted the standards of<br>European jewelry and therefore, sterling became established in the United States<br>and the American jewelry market.<br><br>Tiffany was determined to obtain one-of-a-kind jewelry. It was that desire which<br>helped fuel how much his products were sought out, specifically among the upper<br>classes of New York. The jewelry created by the company became partially well<br>known because of the wealthy people who desired its products. In the 1830’s,<br>Tiffany made it’s mark in the jewelry world at the time because they clearly<br>marked the prices on their goods. This eliminated the chance that customers<br>would haggle and try to negotiate the prices of the goods that they were<br>purchasing at the time. Additionally, Tiffany’s was unique at the time because<br>they only accepted cash payments and didn’t allow their goods to be purchased on<br>credit.<br><br>With the Civil War threatening jewelry purchasing at the time, Tiffany adjusted<br>the focus of his company and ended up manufacturing swords, medals, light armor<br>and many other items that were needed for war. In 1877, Tiffany & Co. had become<br>such an established name that it easily influenced the industry and was able to<br>make outlandish purchases. This when the now called “Tiffany diamond” (a yellow<br>South African diamond) was purchased for $18,000 at 287 carats. The diamond was<br>cut down to 128.54 carats over nearly a year and was eventually put on display<br>in the Smithsonian. Today, Tiffany & Co. is an American worldwide luxury jeweler<br>and specialty retailer, headquartered in New York City.<br><br>Understanding the Markings<br>While Tiffany & Co. is famous for the “Tiffany diamond” they are even more<br>famous for their use of sterling silver. When looking at actually sterling<br>silver that is made by Tiffany’s there are several markings that can help you<br>figure out the origin and if a piece is indeed made by Tiffany’s or fake. At the<br>start, there were several silversmiths who supplied silver flatware and<br>holloware to Tiffany’s. Each of those silversmiths marked the pieces with their<br>own marks in addition to marking them with Tiffany’s marks. Some of the makes of<br>Tiffany’s sterling silver include William Gale, Gale & Hughes, Wood & Hughes,<br>John Polhemus, Henry Hebbard, William Bogert, Grosjean & Woodward, Moore &<br>Hebbard and John C. Moore.<br><br>In 1868, Moore silversmithing firm was absorbed into Tiffany & Co. and Tiffany’s<br>then began the production of its own silver. It was at that time that the silver<br>was to be marked with the initial of the Artistic Director or the initial of the<br>President of the firm but that was continued until the mid-1960’s. Each design<br>on the silver that Tiffany’s creates represents the long and proud heritage that<br>comes with the company’s history.

In 1868, the<br>company became incorporated, had four stores and was on the right path to<br>continue to grow to the company that it is today.<br><br>A Humble Start<br>When Young and Tiffany began their business, they originally started off with<br>offering items such as stationery and merchandise before moving on to offering<br>jewelry and silverware. The business continued to grow and manufacture jewelry,<br>and later opened a location in Paris. His stores adopted the standards of<br>European jewelry and therefore, sterling became established in the United States<br>and the American jewelry market.<br><br>Tiffany was determined to obtain one-of-a-kind jewelry. It was that desire which<br>helped fuel how much his products were sought out, specifically among the upper<br>classes of New York. The jewelry created by the company became partially well<br>known because of the wealthy people who desired its products. In the 1830’s,<br>Tiffany made it’s mark in the jewelry world at the time because they clearly<br>marked the prices on their goods. This eliminated the chance that customers<br>would haggle and try to negotiate the prices of the goods that they were<br>purchasing at the time. Additionally, Tiffany’s was unique at the time because<br>they only accepted cash payments and didn’t allow their goods to be purchased on<br>credit.<br><br>With the Civil War threatening jewelry purchasing at the time, Tiffany adjusted<br>the focus of his company and ended up manufacturing swords, medals, light armor<br>and many other items that were needed for war. In 1877, Tiffany & Co. had become<br>such an established name that it easily influenced the industry and was able to<br>make outlandish purchases. This when the now called “Tiffany diamond” (a yellow<br>South African diamond) was purchased for $18,000 at 287 carats. The diamond was<br>cut down to 128.54 carats over nearly a year and was eventually put on display<br>in the Smithsonian. Today, Tiffany & Co. is an American worldwide luxury jeweler<br>and specialty retailer, headquartered in New York City.<br><br>Understanding the Markings<br>While Tiffany & Co. is famous for the “Tiffany diamond” they are even more<br>famous for their use of sterling silver. When looking at actually sterling<br>silver that is made by Tiffany’s there are several markings that can help you<br>figure out the origin and if a piece is indeed made by Tiffany’s or fake. At the<br>start, there were several silversmiths who supplied silver flatware and<br>holloware to Tiffany’s. Each of those silversmiths marked the pieces with their<br>own marks in addition to marking them with Tiffany’s marks. Some of the makes of<br>Tiffany’s sterling silver include William Gale, Gale & Hughes, Wood & Hughes,<br>John Polhemus, Henry Hebbard, William Bogert, Grosjean & Woodward, Moore &<br>Hebbard and John C. Moore.<br><br>In 1868, Moore silversmithing firm was absorbed into Tiffany & Co. and Tiffany’s<br>then began the production of its own silver. It was at that time that the silver<br>was to be marked with the initial of the Artistic Director or the initial of the<br>President of the firm but that was continued until the mid-1960’s. Each design<br>on the silver that Tiffany’s creates represents the long and proud heritage that<br>comes with the company’s history.<br>b70

    The Book of Days A Miscellany of Popular Antiquities Edited by R. Chambers 1863<br>- London - W. and R. Chambers 10.5" by 7.5";832pp.; 840pp. DETAILS A first<br>edition of this interesting pair of books covering a variety of topics, from the<br>pasage of time, to English folklore legends, to railway information, all related<br>to a certain month of the year. The Chambers Book of Days ( The Book of Days: A<br>Miscellany of Popular Antiquities in Connection with the Calendar, Including<br>Anecdote, Biography, & History, Curiosities of Literature and Oddities of Human<br>Life and Character ) was written by the Scottish author Robert Chambers. It was<br>a miscellany of popular antiquities in connection with the calendar, and it is<br>supposed that his excessive labour in connexion with this book hastened his<br>death. Two years before, the University of St Andrews had conferred upon him the<br>degree of doctor of laws, and he was elected a member of the Athenaeum Club in<br>London. It is his highest claim to distinction that he did so much to give a<br>healthy tone to the cheap popular literature which has become so important a<br>factor in modern civilization. With illustrated title pages and numerous<br>engravings. Complete in two volumes. CONDITION In half-calf prize bindings with<br>marbled boards. Externally sound, with some wear to the boards and spine as<br>shown. Some foxing on the first few pages front and back of each edition, strong<br>binding, clean overall with no missing pages or water damage. 160 year old<br>books.
