1863List308N.p. 1863. Dark carved wood 11 ½ x 11 ½ x 1 inches with bone border and star inlays in corners an inlaid tree with carved names of Civil War battles as leaves. During the Civil War wounded or captured soldiers would often pass their time waiting to return to duty carving relics. The practice was fairly common with pipes being the most commonly carved object and the quality of the relics varied wildly depending on the talent of the soldier. A.H. Barber from Wisconsin was wounded at Antietam and most likely carved this memorial piece while recovering from his wounds. Each leaf notes a different battle during the 1861-1862 campaigns. Barber enlisted in Company C of the 2nd Wisconsin in 1861 and was discharged in 1863 following wounds suffered at Antietam. The trunk reads Battles for the Union and the four branches read Dept. of the South Army of Virginia & of the Potomac and Dept. of the West with twenty-nine leaves naming battles. <br /> <br /> The resultant plaque is exceptional in timeliness craftsmanship and overall aesthetic beauty. Barber’s metaphorically growing tree is particularly timely for the Union cause as the 1863 failure of the Maryland Campaign would serve as inspiration to Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Wonderfully preserved in excellent condition with no notable flaws. From the collection of Norm Flaydernman the noted Americana dealer who personally collected carved Civil War pipes and had been planning to write a book on the subject at the time of his death. unknown

Hill Brass Co. 1893-1918. 4to. 72 letters some mimeographed others typed carbon copies and a few ALS sized 5.75 x 9.25 in. up to 8.5 x 11 in. many on steel-engraved letterhead a couple on ruled paper and many featuring the offsetting from the leather dyes with over 40 attached samples of papers White coated sign muslin foundry sand and assorted leathers. All preserved in archival mylar sleeves in recent full calf 3-ring binder w/ stamping. An exceptional archive of original TLS many with original samples of paper leather and even sand which were used in ever increasing quantities by the noted manufacturer of sleigh bells bells pull toys and many other toys for children from the Gilded Age through World War I. The earliest letter dated Feb. 10 1899 includes two paper samples from the Henry Lindenmeyr & Sons Paper Warehouse in New York on Bleeker Street noting that “we can furnish in the shade of your sample at $ 8.00 per hundred sheets basis 25 x 36. We could not make less than a thousand yards.†Sixty or the majority of the letters and samples were sent by the Barber Co. beginning in 1902 and continuing into World War I. Their letters and samples describe the colour grain and general finish of the included samples as well as their perfect applications in “baby carriage straps shawl straps small cases i.e. for toys small tool boxes†and of course sleigh bells and bell hangers and bell flappers as well as handle grips. Leathers encompass Red Straight Grain Cowhide Pigskin straps Black Bell Leather Walnut Strap Leather and specialized leathers for tumbling purposes for brasswork. Barber 1836-1909 was the longtime owner and operator of the Barber Leather Co. in North Adams until his death when his son Archer Barber took over the business. Many of the samples offered to the Hill Brass Co. are mounted on TLS and TLS copy letters from Harry S. Millard who later was brought into the Barber Co. in 1914 as Treasurer of the Company. The samples here include splits black pig leather as well as embossed strips in assorted coloured leather Caulkins & Post whose building at 484-494 Main Street in Middletown was considered one of the first “modern†stores and specialized in drapes window shades furniture and bicycles before opening up their successful card dealership in 1903. The Hill Brass Co. required products beyond leathers & papers as shown by the reply to their request for a quote for White Sign Muslin waterproof textile intended for use on children’s carriages and go-carts. For their manufacturing processes they required foundry sands and the Pettinos Brothers based in Columbia Ceylon Bethlehem PA and Mexico sent them a sample of their plumbago “high grade Ceylon stock.†There is even a May 29 1905 solicitation letter from F. von Bardeleben after seeing the Hill Brass Co. exhibit at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair mentioning that his company can supply a “very fine grade of non-poisonous unchangeable paints to be used for painting toys.†The N.N. Hill Brass Co. founded by Norman Newton Hill 1863-1950 in 1889 operated until the early 1960’s was one of the largest factory’s in the World producing bells & toys and by the 1930’s produced Walt Disney merchandise. Along with the Bevin Brothers and other local Massachusetts foundries they manufactured Salvation Army bells sleight bells bicycle bells alarm bells and more. See: N.N.

1899106200Indianapolis IN: Press of the Clay-Worker 1899. 1st edition. Hardbound. Good Clean tight contents but with ex-lib. stamp on title page and bookplate of Robert Sage Griswold 1899 - of the Connecticut Griswolds - inside front cover; covers soiled but tight. Blue cloth with embossed lettering; blue/white illus. laid on. 161 xii pp. with 93 bw illustrations. At The Solicitation of numerous collectors of old English china bearing American views a series of illustrated papers was prepared by the writer and published in The Clay-Worker of Indianapolis Ind. In the introductory chapter nothing but a brief review of the earlier Liverpool designs was attempted because of the scarcity of such pieces at this late day. The main purpose of the compiler was to present as complete a list of the later Staffordshire designs in dark blue and other colors as possible so classified that the productions of each potter should be grouped together whereby the identification of unmarked pieces might be facilitated to some extent by means of common border devices. It was not deemed necessary to present detailed descriptions of views for the reason that they would not be required by collectors who possessed examples of china bearing the designs described nor carry definite meaning to those who did not. The need of a pocket manual of such china compact in arrangement and convenient for ready reference has long been felt. These lists have therefore been republished in a form suitable for collectors and others interested in the subject. The numbering of the American designs and border patterns will afford a convenient means of reference among correspondents and the index at the end will serve as a check list for collections. It was originally intended to indicate the shape of the piece or the size of the plate on which each design occurs but this classification was found to be well-nigh impossible on account of the apparent lack of any definite system followed by manufacturers in the decoration of pieces. - http://www.forgottenbooks.com.
