Nicely carved 19th century eagle applied to an early 20th century patriotic shield. There are some old mounting holes on the shield, as well as some paint losses and minor touch ups, but the eagle is in fine original condition and the piece displays beautifully. Approx. 16″ high and 16″ across at top. (CJ-10)

Unusual small framed Odd Fellows heart in hand symbol painted in gold leaf on fabric. The fabric may be silk. The artist painted in a shadow which creates the illusion that the hand is elevated slightly above the background. The frame appears to be original. There are some small creases in the fabric that could probably be eliminated but stretching it, but we decided to leave that decision to the buyer. It displays very well as is. Circa late 19th century. Frame measures 9” by 6 ¾” and the sight size is 7 7/8” by 5 1/8”. (CI -34)

Print of a bull moose with a nicely carved head of a cow moose attached to the top of the frame. Interesting juxtaposition. ((CG -17)

Carved eagle with gilt surface. 19th century. Has expected wear and minor losses to gesso. The very tip of one wing feather was broken and reattached years ago. We had a bit of gilt added to that area. 29” wide x 11 ½” high. Displays brilliantly.(CI -10)
Hand painted Children’s Hickory Garters sign (ex – personal collection of Richard (“Smitty”) Axtell). “Hickory” was a brand named used by A. Stein and Company of Chicago, Illinois. The company was established in 1887 and continued in business well into the 20th century. Garters were employed to hold up long stockings worn by girls and boys (one is shown near the lad’s right hip). This sign was evidently made by a retailer and hung in a clothing store rather than outside, thus accounting for its undamaged condition. Background appears to be a form of early fiberboard. Amusing image calculated to attract attention. Probably dates to 1920′s. 24″ L x 11 1/2″ H. (CD-22)

Very fine oil on canvas of waterfalls and a person who might be a fisherman by Ambrose Andrews, signed by him and dated 1851. Andrews was an itinerant artist who painted throughout many parts of the United States in the early to mid 1800s. He was active in N.Y. State after 1844 and this painting was almost certainly done there although the specific location is unknown. His work is on display in the collection of the N.Y. Historical Society. Frame is of the period but probably not original. Outer dimensions are 20 1/2″ wide by 12 1/2″ high. Sight area 15 1/2″ wide by 7 3/4″ high. All original
