Chilmark Mosbys April Fool Sculpture FJ Barnum Artist Signed LE Civil War Video

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Bill Webster

We’re selling an interesting group of Chilmark fine pewter Civil War 3 Dimensional Pewter Sculptures.  Each sculpture is designed AND signed in gold ink by artist Francis J. Barnum. 2005 limited edition of 500, ours is numbered 76 / 500 on the base. Sculptures are approximately 5″ tall, and mounted on a 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ wooden display base. Great to have the artist signature as a bonus!

This listing features Mosby’s April Fool commemorating Confederate Colonel John S Mosby and sixty nine of his Partisan Rangers defeating a superior Union force at Miskel’s Farm in Northeast Virginia on April Fools Day in 1863.

When Union Captain Henry C. Flint and 150 troopers from the 1st Vermont Cavalry attacked with sabers and bayonets, Mosby’s Rangers aggressively counterattacked on horseback employing Colt 44 caliber revolvers with deadly effect. The added firepower of the revolvers and the ferocity of the Confederate attack resulted in Union Casualties of 8 killed, 22 seriously wounded and 83 prisoners captured. As Mosby rode past, one Union trooper called out to him… “You have played a nice April Fool!”.

See the rest of the collection in our ebay store connectibles.

Hard plastic torso and legs, soft vinyl head and arms. Jointed at neck, shoulders, elbows, waist, hips, knees and ankles.

twixieOurs is a beauty, excellent condition with very minor imperfections including a hairline split above her right knee joint and some minor marks. Otherwise she’s clean and poses beautifully.

  • She’s wearing a gorgeous vintage red satin cocktail length dress and pink high heel sandals. Cream satin bloomers complete the ensemble. This dress looks great on display and the red really POPS!
  • Dress in very good overall condition. One edge on the back opening of the skirt section is unfinished and needs to be pressed down and possibly stitched.

Please take a look at the many fashion dolls we currently have listed in our ebay store connectibles.

1966 Portfolio Photo NYC Proposed Twin Tower World Trade Center Balthazar Korab

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Bill Webster

wtcWe are delighted to be offering a group of striking & dramatic images from an architectural photography portfolio we just obtained.  Offered in 1966 by Irving Trust Company when they moved to their headquarters at One Wall Street, Manhattan.  They collected a fantastic group of professional art photographs depicting New York City architectural landmarks, and put them together in a limited edition portfolio commemorating the changes that occurred in Manhattan in the 1950’s & 1960’s. These are the ORIGINAL 1966 prints; not modern reproductions.

Each print is matted and ready to frame; excellent NEW condition. Each mat measures 12″ x 15″, image size is 9-1/2″ x 7-1/2″. 

Pictured here is one of the most important of the portfolio, a Balthazar Korab black and white image of “The 110-Story Pinnacles of the proposed World Trade Center“.  Twin Towers opened in 1973; this print was made in 1966.

  • Korab was an architect and photographer whose photographs have been exhibited in prominent museums, including The Museum of Modern Art. He worked with notable architects including Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
  • Important image based both on the subject matter AND on the noted artist.

We are selling them individually, and believe that purchasing several and framing them for hanging would be the most dramatic statement! Each also comes with a copy of the mission statement issued by Irving Trust.  Please visit our ebay store connectibles.

Ghostown Custom Buck 110 X Knife 25th Anniversary Lion Head Turquoise 079-90

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Bill Webster

001Pictured here is a Ghostown Custom Buck 110 X Knife 25th Anniversary Edition.  Buck’s Famous Folding Hunter: 1963 – 1988.  This knife is not new, but as can be seen from the photographs it is in very good condition.  The figure on the sides of the knife looks like a lion – a perfect gift for a “Leo” knife collector.

From information I could find online, the custom designer – “Ghostown” lives in Arizona and makes custom handles for Buck Knifes.  I cannot attest to the materials used in the handle (other than the Turquoise) all the material I read indicated that precious metals are used in the customization.

The top of the handle has “Ghostown” inscribed as well as a code number that I believe is a date “079-90”.  The “X” after the 110 on the blade indicates the Buck Knife was made in 1990.  Please look at our ebay store connectibles for this and other knifes.009
