The January 2013 Collector’s Series Sale
Terms and Conditions of Sale
This is a public auction and mail-bid sale held by SPINK, who are licensed and bonded auctioneers.
SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the
consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own
account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium.
1.

The placing of a bid constitutes full acceptance of these
Terms and Conditions of Sale by the bidder.
The highest bidder acknowledged by SPINK shall be the
buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, SPINK
may, at its sole discretion, immediately put the lot up for sale
again. SPINK’S decision shall be final and binding upon all
bidders. A buyer’s premium equal to 20% of the successful
bid price of each lot up to and including $2,000.00 and 15%
of the excess bid price will be added to each invoice and is
payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price.
All bids are to be per lot as numbered in this catalog. SPINK
reserves the right to group two or more lots together and to
withdraw, prior to call for bids, any lot(s) from the sale. Bids
will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only, and SPINK
reserves the right to reject any bid or advance the bidding at
its discretion.
SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been
made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the
property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on
and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does
so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s
premium.
SPINK may have made advances and loans available to
certain consignors and bidders in the sale. SPINK reserves
the right to bid on any lot in the sale. Additionally, SPINK
may or may not have financial interest in any of the lot(s) in
the sale.
All sales are strictly for cash, check and bank/wire transfer in
United States dollars; However, SPINK will only accept cash
payments under $10,000.00. SPINK offers clients the option
of paying by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and American
Express only) in United States Dollars for a convenience
charge of two percent (2%) for Visa and MasterCard and four
percent (4%) for American Express, up to a total of
$30,000.00. Credit card payments will only be accepted if (a)
the purchase is made by the card holder, (b) any purchased
items to be shipped are shipped to the cardholder’s verified
billing address, (c) floor bidders present their credit cards and
(d) all returns are governed by the terms and conditions of
the sale. Payment is due and payable immediately upon
receipt of the auction invoice or, if payment is to be made at
the auction site, simultaneously with receipt of the purchased
items. SPINK reserves the right to void a sale if payment in
full of the invoice is not received by SPINK within fifteen
(15) days of the date of invoice. A late charge in the amount
of the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum lawful rate
will be charged on the invoice total if payment is not received
within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. All lots are
subject to applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate
resale certificates are on file with SPINK.
Shipping, handling and administration charges will be added
to invoices for lots delivered by mail. All lots will be shipped
via U.S. Express Mail to Post Office boxes, via Federal
Express to street addresses, and FedEx ground for bulky large

lots (in the U.S. only). Purchases shipped via FedEx will not
be covered by SPINK insurance in the event that the buyer
has placed a “signature release” on file with FedEx. Buyer will
be responsible for total purchase price in the event of loss.
SPINK cannot be and is not responsible for the loss of any
merchandise shipped outside the United States and therefore
insurance on any items to be shipped outside the United
States is solely the responsibility of the buyer. It is also the
responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance
coverage for the items once they are in his/her possession.
Risk of loss shall be borne by the buyer following shipment
of the items and SPINK assumes no liability for merchandise
lost, stolen or damaged while in the possession of a party to
whom merchandise has been shipped. For international
shipments, all duties/taxes/fees are the sole responsibility of
the buyer.
In the event a successful bidder fails to pay the charges due,
SPINK reserves the right to resell the merchandise and the
buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale
including a 10% seller’s commission, and also to pay any
difference between the resale price and the winning price of
his/her previously successful bid.
SPINK reserves the right to require payment in full before
delivery of the merchandise to the buyer. Bidder personally
guarantees payment, and if a corporation, an officer or
principal in the corporation agrees to personally guarantee
payment. Title to any purchased items remains with SPINK
until all invoices are paid in full. SPINK reserves the right to
await clearance of any check used for payment before
delivery of any item and a $25.00 charge will be applied for
any check that fails to clear.
SPINK reserves the right to refuse to honor or reject any bid
which, in its opinion, is not submitted in good faith, or,
as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory
references, as SPINK in its sole discretion shall determine.
SPINK further reserves the right to ban any bidder from
participation in its sales for any reason deemed appropriate in
its sole discretion.
No minors may participate in any SPINK sales.
Bids will be executed for mail bidders at one advance over the
next highest bid in competition with floor and/or internet
bidders, until the maximum bid is executed for the mail
bidder, or until the lot is sold. No buy or unlimited bids will
be accepted. No additional commission (except for the
buyer’s premium) is charged for executing mail bids. SPINK
cannot and does not assume any responsibility for errors
made in the amount bid or lot numbers listed, so check your
bid sheet and online submission carefully. When identical
mail bids are submitted, preference is given to the first
received.
SPINK may reopen the bidding on a lot under the
following circumstances: (a) SPINK has failed to execute correctly a mail bid; (b) A party purchasing the lot on the floor
has done so in error; (c) Where a protest is made after the

hammer has fallen but before bidding has commenced on the
next lot; (d) Where the auctioneer has determined that
he/she has overlooked a party still bidding on the
lot but before the calling of the next lot; and (e) At the
discretion of the auctioneer. In the event of a dispute, the
auctioneer’s decision shall be final.
Agents executing bids on behalf of clients will be held
responsible for all purchases made on behalf of clients unless
otherwise arranged prior to the sale.
The same protections applicable to SPINK shall apply to
each officer, director and employee of SPINK unless such
individual shall be convicted of knowingly and intentionally
selling false or stolen goods.
The descriptions provided in the catalog are intended
solely for the use of those bidders who do not have
the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding. All
photographs in the catalog are as accurate as can be
reproduced with today’s technology; however, they cannot
be relied upon for exact reproduction of color. All bidders
who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not
be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of
genuineness. It is presumed that all floor bidders have
inspected the lots prior to bidding. Therefore, lots purchased
by floor bidders are sold “AS IS” and may not be returned.
Floor Bidders include those bidders acting as agents for
others. Additionally, SPINK reserves the right to describe
items differently than the descriptions shown in the catalog
should such items be consigned to any future auction.
All the lots are sold as genuine. For the purpose of this sale,
“genuine” is defined as not faked or forged and SPINK will
not knowingly sell any item that has been “repaired’,
“restored”, “processed”, “cleaned”, “pressed” or “conserved”
in any way without disclosure of such facts to the potential
buyer.
The following conditions apply to requests for expertization
of philatelic items: (a) Mail bidders are asked to advise
SPINK of any extension requests at the time of placing their
bids; (b) Floor bidders must advise SPINK of any extensions
in writing at the time of lot settlement; (c) SPINK will
submit all items so requested by successful bidders to the
reputable authority of their choice; For United States stamps,
the Philatelic Foundation and the Professional Stamp Experts
are the accepted authorities. (d) Purchasers of items
submitted for expertization must pay as part of the purchase
price all charges for expertization, including postage and
handling; (e) Purchasers of items to be expertized must
make payment in full immediately upon purchase prior to
expertizing; Refunds will be made promptly for all sums
if in the unlikely event an item is returned with a negative
opinion; (f) Requests for expertization of stamps with
certificates dated within the last five (5) years of the sale date
will not be granted; (g) No lot may be returned due to a
certification service grading a stamp differently than the
grade stated in the auction description; (h) No lot will
be accepted as a return from expertization if the item is
indelibly marked as being altered or fraudulent by the
expertizing authority; and (i) No lot will be accepted as a
return, for any reason whatsoever, including extension
returns, after four (4) months from the sale date. Any
exceptions to this time limitation must be agreed to in
writing at SPINK sole discretion.
19. No lots may be returned without a written request by the
successful bidder and the written approval of SPINK. In the
unlikely event of returning a lot, SPINK must receive
notification of the buyer’s intent within three (3) days of the
buyer’s receipt of the lot. The following lots may not be
returned for any reason whatsoever: (a) lots containing ten or
more items; (b) lots described as having faults or defects
because of the faults described or any others, including lots
described as “repaired”, “corroded”, “holed”, “whizzed”, or
similar damage, except for non-authenticity; (c) illustrated
lots because of centering, margins, etc. or other factors
shown in the illustrations; (d) lots described “AS IS”,
including third party graded coins or banknotes (i.e. PCGS,
NGC, ANACS, ICG); (e) lots valued primarily for the
bullion content; (f) lots examined by postal viewers; and
(g) any philatelic extension lot unless the conditions set forth
in Item 18 above is complied with fully. Except for lots placed
on extension, as per the conditions of Item 18 above, no lots
may be returned for any reason whatsoever after thirty (30)
days from sale date. Late payment for purchase may,
at SPINK option, be considered just cause to revoke all
return privileges. If any disputes arise regarding payment,
authenticity, or description between the bidder and SPINK,
SPINK at its sole discretion, may submit the disputed matter
to binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, to which the bidder,
by placing a bid and hereby accepting these Terms and
Conditions of Sale, agrees to be bound.
20. United States coins and currency will not, in conformity with
the law, be opened at less than face value.
21. The auctioneer reserves the right to postpone the sale by
auction for a reasonable period of time as a result of
any significant event which, in the sole discretion of the
auctioneer, makes it advisable to postpone the event. No
prospective bidder or prospective buyer shall have recourse as
a result of any postponement
22. In the event SPINK refers an invoice(s) to an attorney for
collection, the buyer agrees to pay SPINK attorney’s fees,
court costs, witness fees and other costs incurred by SPINK.
23. THESE TERMS OF SALE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING
REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF
LAW. THE SIGNER OF A SPINK BID SHEET OR
PARTICIPANT IN THE AUCTION AGREES THAT
EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH
RESPECT TO THESE TERMS OR IN CONNECTION
WITH SPINK SHALL RESIDE INA STATE OR
FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS.
24. On-line Bidding — SPINK offers internet services as
a convenience to our clients, but SPINK will not be
responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the
internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures
caused by (i) a loss of connection on SPINK or your end; (ii)

accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or
for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

With First Day of Issue envelope from Cooperstown,

Alexander J. Cartwright (1820-1892) was the man
who invented modern baseball. Cartwright and the
members of his New York Knickerbocker Base Ball Club,
devised the rules and regulations for the modern game of
baseball. The first recorded baseball game was played in
1846 when Cartwright’s Knickerbockers lost to the New
York Baseball Club. The game was played at the Elysian
Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey. Cartwright later went to
the goldfields of California and later headed for
Hawaii, where he would eventually become a wealthy
merchant. He took his bats and balls with him and continued to promote and play baseball wherever he went.

VF. Mexican general and politician Antonio Lopez de
Santa Anna (1794-1876) had been the country’s president eleven times, most of them acting as its military
dictator; his defeat at the Battle of San Jacinto led to
Texan independence; later led Mexican forces in their
doomed war against the United States; at the time of
this bond, he was living in exile on Staten Island, and
was trying to raise funds and troops for an assault on
Mexican Emperor Maximilian; the plan never got off
the ground. (photo)

Ringling Bros.- Barnum & Bailey Combined
Shows, Inc. (DE). ND (1969). Uncut sheet of four.
Shares. Blue engraved frame (issued for purchases of
1,000 shares). Multicolored circus art lithographed
design elements. Unissued remainder sheet. Almost
Uncirculated.
The owners of the circus wanted to create spectacular
certificates, but the practical cost of producing circus
art on a multicolored engraved certificate was extravagant. A compromise was reached. American Bank
Note Company supplied the engraved frames, and the
circus provided the lithographed artwork. The resulting certificates were so attractive that when the company was sold to Mattel, many shareholders refused
to give up their circus certificates.
Uncut sheets of ABN certificates of any kind are rarely
encountered. The fact that this sheet consists of four
blue Ringling Brothers share certificates makes it even
more compelling. (photo)

In an effort to bypass certain governmental pressures
concerning the alleged monopolistic powers of Standard Oil Company, the Standard Oil Trust was conceived and controlled by nine trustees. As general
statutes at the time limited corporate ownership of out
-of-state firms, Rockefeller and Flagler devised a plan
to surmount these legal obstacles. Acquisitions and
ventures were channeled through trustees whose affiliation and loyalty to Rockefeller and Standard Oil
were not readily obvious.

This new arrangement enabled Rockefeller to form alliances and set up new concerns in other states while
retaining complete control of all the various interests.
It brought new meaning to the word “Trust”, and
made Rockefeller and Flagler the most powerful individuals in the industry and the richest men in the
world.
John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) was the dominant
figure in the oil industry until his retirement in 1911.
He started his business career as a bookkeeper, and by
age 19 was a partner in a produce business. He began
operating a small refinery with his partners, and
quickly realized the growing investment possibilities in
what was then a fairly new industry. In 1870, he organized the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and proceeded to achieve control over 90% of the oil refineries
in the country.
Rockefeller had little interest in discovering oil; he left
that to wildcatters and other speculators. He concentrated on the transportation, distribution and sale of
petroleum products, building a fortune estimated at
over a billion dollars. (photo)

Signed by Robert Morris, signer of the Declaration of
Independence. Known as the ‘financier of the American Revolution;” founder of the Bank of North
America; one of the original US Senators from Pennsylvania; risky land speculation destroyed his fortune,
and he died a pauper. Also signed by secretary “James
Marshall.” With the North American Land Company,
Morris and his partners hoped to multiply their fortunes
selling 4 million acres they had acquired cheaply. Settlers’ payments came in too slowly to cover taxes and
loans that came due, forcing Morris into bankruptcy

of ink erosion in the bold Morris signature. Uncanceled, and very desirable as such. Some right edge

American Asylum for the Deaf Interesting series of letters, including an interesting ALS by George
Henry Loring, a deaf student at the Hartford American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, 4 full pages
(possibly with missing pages, though the writer’s style makes it unclear if he has simply skipped from one
sentence to another), 4to, January 27, 1818. He writes to an unidentified Hartford native in Washington DC that the school’s co-founder Laurent “Clerc...teaches the deaf and dumb, and they attend
and write on the slate every day...during 3 hours or 2 hours...Mr. Clerc always teaches the deaf
and dumb about the bible every Saturday...He gives Mr. [co-founder Thomas Hopkins] Gallaudet
some signs for teaching his 7 pupils....You may tell [US Senator and Asylum benefactor Josiah
Quincy] about my character. My eye is blind, but one is not...I am little and deaf and dumb boy.
I am 11 years old. I was born in Boston...” With ALS from JL Skinner to Hartford pillar Nathaniel
Terry, 1 page, Washington March 22, 1819. He thanks Terry “together with your other fellow citizens, for the successful, very honorable manner, in which you have accomplished the object of their
wishes, in regard to the Connecticut Asylum. The Asylum...is one of those sublime refinements,
which belong to the social state in its highest improvements...” With a pair of letters from 1821
concerning the sale of land owned by the asylum in and near Tuscaloosa, Alabama. One 1821 letter with
partial fold splits, otherwise all VG. The American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb (now the American
School for the Deaf) was the first such institution to be successfully established in the country (a similar school in Virginia lasted for just a year). [4]

Civil War: Edward Hatch Civil War Union general (1832-99); participated in Grierson’s raid into Mississippi; opposed NB Forrest in Tennessee; an Indian fighter after the war. ALS “Edward Hatch / Bt.
Major Genl. / USA,” 1-3/4 pages, 4to, St. Louis Depot, January 4, 1873. He thanks US Secretary of
War WW Belknap “for the kindness...in giving us this delightful station, also for the consideration
shown me...It is the hope of the Army as well as the Country at large, that you retain the present position...” in US Grant’s second term, which was to begin in March. Inlaid to slightly larger sheet.
Light toning, VG. Belknap did keep his position, but was successfully impeached in 1876 for corruption. (photo - page 60)
Est. 200-300
Civil War: David Hunter Union general (1802-86); put in charge of the Southern Department, he proclaimed the slaves in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina emancipated, creating a furor in Washington;
defeated at Lynchburg by Jubal Early in 1864, after which he retired from the service. Choice Seminole
War-era Autograph Letter Signed “David Hunter / Paymaster,” 1 page, 4to, Fort Smith, Arkansas,
October 19, 1842. He writes Paymaster General Nathan Towson, “I have the honor to enclose you
my Monthly Statement for Sep. ‘42: also a letter, with its enclosure, for the Second Auditor of
the Treasury [none present]. I have made the payment here, and shall leave for Gibson [Arkansas]
tomorrow, if the Quartermaster has the transportation...” Partial separation at fold, small pin hole,
otherwise VG. Both Hunter and the Confederate general who would end his career, Jubal Early, served
in the Second Seminole War, another example of Civil War opponents who had been comrades-in-arms.
Est. 100-250
Civil War: Wesley Merritt Union general (1836-1910); led cavalry at Gettysburg; served with with
distinction under Sheridan in the Shenandoah and Appomattox Campaigns; superintendent of West
Point; led US ground forces in the Battle of Manila, becoming governor-general of the Philippines. Interesting ALS “W. Merritt,” 3 pages, 8vo, on stationery of the Grand Hotel, NY, June 16, 1891. He
writes an unnamed general that “I...would gladly underatake the work and try to do justice to the
life of my old Chief for whom my respect increases as time goes on, but I can promise nothing
this summer” because of his wife’s illness. He suggests Gen James H Wilson or Col Fred C Newhall instead. Even age-toning, VG. Merritt served in only one campaign alongside both James H Wilson and
Fred C Newhall; that was in the Shenandoah Campaign, leaving little doubt that the “old Chief” he refers
to is Philip H Sheridan, who had died in 1888. (photo - page 60)
Est. 200-300
Civil War: Collection Choice selection of items including an early Secession Letter, 2 pages, 4to,
Lynchburg, VA, April 30, 1861, lamenting how “War and all its demoralizing consequences reign
here. Troops throng the streets - and are as you well know many seeking the army are vicious &
careless of consequences and in fact crimes they suppose are to be tolerated such times as these.
Several murders in Baltimore other than the engagements with those troops have occurred, some
in Washington. Last week here as Senator [future President Andrew] Johnson of Tennessee passed
through he barely escaped with his life for his Union sentiments...” With three Soldier’s Letters
by Henry Caryl at Ft Marshall in Baltimore, August 10-September 14, 1864. He writes his mother and
sister in Charlestown, MA. There is little news from his position behind the front; his company drills in
the Maryland countryside, frightening locals who think a battle must be brewing; like so many soldiers,
he must combat illness and endure substandard food; he worries in the last letter that he will be sent to
New York to enforce the draft, but “I should rather go to the front when I fight I do not want my

Fur Trade: [American Fur Company: Vanderburgh’s Death] Interesting autograph letter signed by
John Catron to Robert Campbell in St. Louis. He explains that “Wm. H. Vanderburg the clerk of the
American Fur Co. drew a Bill of Exchange on P[ierre] Chouteau Agt for said Company in favour of
George Ennis for the sum of $473.50...for furs my Brother [Minatree Catron] sold to the Am. Fur
Copy...with the instructions to pay me the money. Mr. Chouteau has refused payment and the Bill is returned protested...Ennis informs me that you had a draft or Bill...drawn by same Vanderburgh as clerk
of Am Fur Co on same Chouteau for a large amount” and wants to know if Chouteau protested that,
too. Vanderburgh had become one of the AMF’s top men in the Western Department, running its trapping operations with Andrew Drips. They had recently been chasing Tom Fitzpatrick and his men
through Blackfoot country. The day after this letter was written, Vanderburgh and a handful of trappers
were ambushed by about a hundred Blackfeet. He and one other man were killed. Vanderburgh’s body
was never found. (Image)

Fur Trade: [Campbell, Robert] Three very early letters to Campbell in St. Louis, all 1825, from business colleagues. The first, from Cape Girardeau, MO, is from James Keyte on April 30, sending goods
up the Mississippi on the Phoenix. Keyte writes again on May 9, this time from Wheeling, (now WV),
during a trip East. Because of low water, he will skip Pittsburgh, and will take the mail stage to Baltimore.
Keyte’s instructions to Campbell about their stores suggests that he is in the position of authority. Eventually Campbell would become one of the richest men in St. Louis.The third, from Philadelphia, is from
Robert Wiley on May 25, while he is apparently being visited by Keyte, who carried the letter back to
St. Louis. He reports that business is slow, and “nearly every species of merchandise has advanced in Value
in consequence of which country dealers have curtailed their orders.. A few years like the present would
convert the whole of you southern & western folks into nabobs...Your time is coming.” All letters suffer from condition problems.In 1832, Keyte would found the town that still bears his name, Keytesville,
Missouri. The year 1825 would later see Campbell’s first expedition to the Rocky Mountains, in the
company of Jedediah Smith of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company.

Napoleon I - French Emperor (1769-1821, ruled 1804-15); emerging in the late stages of the French
Revolution, he would conquer or control most of continental Europe until his final defeat at Waterloo
in 1815. Manuscript Order Signed “Nap,” 1 page, 4to, Paris, March 3, 1809. He directs Minister of War
General Henri Clarke to reorganize fusilier companies in the Army of the Rhine at Strasbourg in order
to form a Battalion of March of the Fourth Battalion of the Army of the Rhine. These join grenadiers
and votigeurs that have already been assigned to that army, and will create a battalion alongside that of
General Nicolas Oudinot. In VG/Fine condition. Just a month after the emperor signed this order,
Austrian troops crossed into French-controlled Bavaria, initiating the War of the Fifth Coalition. After
initial Austrian successes against Napoleon’s disorganized subordinates, the emperor took charge of the
war, and won a costly but decisive victory at Wagram in July. General Oudinot’s bravery in the campaign
led to his being named a Marshal of France, and Austria ceased to be a threat to French control over EuEst. 1,000-1,500

Napoleon I - Manuscript Document Signed “Nap” as Emperor, 1/2 page, 4to, the palace at Fontainbleu, October 13, 1810. With one (undeciphered) interpolation in his hand. Napoleon directs Minister
of War Henri Clarke, the Duc de Feltre, to “Order the 4th Regiment of Line that is in camp at Boulgone” into garrison duty. Follow-up note pinned to lower left corner. In VG/F condition. In late 1810,
Napoleon was reaching the height of his influence over Europe. Though England continued to thwart
him on the Iberian peninsula, France controlled Spain, Italy, the western German states, Switzerland, and
Poland; and made subordinate allies of Austria, Prussia, Sweden, and Denmark. Only when he dared to
invade Russia in 1812 would Napoleon face an overpowering enemy: the bitter Russian winter. A few
years earlier, Boulogne had been the staging point for the abandoned French assault on the emperor’s

Napoleon I - Interesting Manuscript Document Signed “Nap” as Emperor, 1 page, 4to, Paris, November 20, 1810. He writes to his Minister of War, Henri Clarke, the duc de Feltre, about a letter Clarke
had forwarded from General Charles Louis Grandjean. Grandjean had suggested extraordinary maneuvers of infantry, cannon, and mortars, also involving the navy. In very good condition and deserving of
further research. General Grandjean had risen through the ranks steadily from the revolutionary period
through Napoleon’s reign, serving with distinction in Pomerania and Spain, including at the Siege of
Saragossa in 1808-9. He had two horses shot from under him at the Battle of Wagram, and would later
command a division in the Russian Campaign, where he held the garrison at Danzig that was compelled
to surrender. He is among the generals immortalized on the Arc de Triomphe. Another desirable oneEst. 1,000-1,500

Napoleon I - Letter Signed “Nap” as Emperor, 1 page, 4to, St. Cloud, June 18, 1811.

Follow-up note pinned at lower left. In VG/F condition. 1811 was a time of relative quiet for Napoleon
after his victory in the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809. However, the seeds of his first great failure
were already beginning to sprout, as his supposed supporter, Tsar Alexander I, abandoned Napoleon’s
continent-wide blockade of British shipping. Before long, a complete rupture between France and Russia would lead to Napoleon’s disastrous attempt to conquer his erstwhile ally, ending in the emperor’s

an X (December 10, 1801). He writes Minister of War Louis-Alexandre Berthier, transmitting a letter

Navy and the Colonies, Paris, 19 ventose, an 11 (March 10, 1803) to the Colonial Prefect of St
Domingue, Montgiraud, concerning financial matters. French control of St Domingue - now Haiti - was
already doomed, and Napoleon would sell Louisiana to the United States in April, divesting himself of
his American holdings. By the first day of 1804, Haiti proclaimed itself an independent nation. With a
DS of December 1799 from Jean Baptiste Girot-Pouzol of the Council of 500 to Minister of Finance

Early US Ship’s Passport Collection
These passports were an important ship’s paper, kept aboard the ship during the voyage and deposited, along with the Registry Certificate, with the appropriate US consular authority anytime the vessel was in a foreign port. The document was
intended to protect the vessel from capture or destruction by proving American (nonbeligerent) ownership. American
crew members aboard the ships remained vulnerable to imprisonment, especially if they did not carry their own personal
protection certificate as proof of citizenship. These passports were cut in a scallop pattern at the top so that they could be
matched with the resulting stub, which the collector held. This was a means of preventing counterfeits.

Rosenberg Spy Case: Sobell and Meeropol Unusual group of Typewritten Letters Signed, 1972-74,
all to collector Dr David Marcus of Palm Springs, CA, by men associated with the case of convicted
spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were found guilty of stealing secrets of the atomic bomb for the
Soviet Union. The Rosenbergs were sentenced to death and executed in 1953. The verdict, especially
in the case of Ethel Rosenberg, was and remains controversial. The earliest is by songwriter and poet
“Abel Meeropol” (1903-86), 1-1/4 pages, 8vo, South Miami, FL, January 15, 1974. Meeropol, best
known for his poem “Strange Fruit,” which became the basis for the song, had adopted Michael and
Robert Rosenberg after their parents’ execution in 1953. He encloses (not present) “some material...regarding the Rosenberg case...Also...a statement regarding the substance of the suit against
Louis Nizer [who had written a book supporting the Rosenbergs’ guilt] which the attorney for my
sons, Michael and Robert...has made available...There is a paper-back book about the frame-up
of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg...entitled INVITATION TO AN INQUEST...” A few days later he
sends a brief three-line letter, signed this time as “Lewis Allen,” his pen name, with an enclosure (not
present) regarding the lawsuit. With two letters signed “MS” by Morton Sobell (born 1917), who was
convicted along with the Rosenbergs but received a 30-year sentence rather than the death penalty. He
tells Dr Marcus that he cannot send his autograph, for he considers “autograph collecting infantile.”
In one of the letters, he adds, “I am sorry that you cannot see the difference between autographing one’s work and autographing an empty piece of paper.” In very recent years, Sobell has admitted to being a Soviet spy and has made it clear that Julius Rosenberg was also guilty; Ethel’s level of
involvement remains uncertain. [5]

Scott, Winfield American soldier (1786-1866); gained national fame for his heroics in the War of 1812;
General-in-Chief of US forces from the Mexican War through the early Civil War; presidential candidate
in 1840 and 1852. Early Autograph Letter Signed “Winfield Scott” while Brigadier General, 1-1/2
pages, 4to, “Head Qrs. Eastern Dept. / New York,” February 4, 1823. He informs his friend H[ugh]
Brady that “I have this moment received the official information (in the new army list) of your promotion to the rank of brigadier general. As an old brother soldier, I take the liberty of felicitating you on the event. Altho’ the rank has been delayed many years after it was fully merited, I trust
it will give you as much pleasure, as the news will afford to your many friends...” Age-toned, with
chipped and slightly torn left margin, partial mounting strip at left edge, otherwise in very good condition. Hugh Brady had commanded an infantry regiment under Scott at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane in
the War of 1812. He was brevetted Brigadier General on July 6, 1822, for ten years of service in one
grade, and in May 1848 was brevetted Major General for meritorious conduct. (photo - page 76)

as King, in Swedish, 1/2 page, folio, Stockholm, June 19, 1905. He happily announces the marriage of
“Prince Oscar Frederik Wilhelm Olav Gustav Adolf of Sweden and of Norway...to...Princess Margaret Victoria Augusta Charlotte Norah of Great Britain...” Countersigned by Minister of Foreign
Affairs “A. Gyldenstolpe.” In fine condition. With translation in French. With historic Typewritten
Document Signed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Frederik “Wachtmeister,” in French, 1-1/4 pages,
folio, Stockholm, October 26, 1905. He announces to the foreign minister of Bolivia that “In consequence of the events of June 7 in Norway, and the decision, made by the authorities in Sweden,
to give their consent, under certain conditions intended to safeguard the honor and the interests
of Sweden, to the dissolution of the Union existing since 1814...the King has just promulgated
a law carrying the repeal of the Act of Union and recognizing Norway as a completely separate
State from Sweden...” Binding holes at left, otherwise in very good condition.

Sydney, Thomas Townshend, Viscount English politician (1732-1800); Secretary at War and Home
Secretary; namesake of the Australian metropolis. Interesting political content Autograph Letter Signed
three times, once as “Sydney” and twice with the initial “S,” 2-1/2 pp, 4to, Tottenham Park [London,
home of the Earl of Ailesbury], October 10, 1788. He informs “My Dear Jack” [undoubtedly his son,
John Townshend] that he knows no one to recommend for an appointment, as “Sr. C[harles] Barrow’s
sudden termination of a long illness has disconcerted matters, & Sir G. Paul has got the start. I
have thought it adviseable to send your letter or an extract of it to Mr. [Prime Minister William]
Pitt...I am quite in the dark myself...” After advising him to not “engage yourself lightly,” he explains
that he has gotten the Receivership of the County of Gloucestershire for Sir William Guise. The following page and a half are filled with lengthy postscripts, wondering if someone can be found “of the
County, that will stand upon the right Interest, or is there no compromise to be made against a
general election?” and trying to track down whether Jack is in Bath or Gloucester. Paper clip stains on
first page, soiling to second page, minor edge and fold wear, otherwise VG. Sir Charles Barrow would
die early in 1789. His place in parliament was filled by John Pitt, a Tory, which suggests that Sydney, a
Whig, was unable to get an appointment of someone with “the right Interest”.

Theater: Michael Redgrave and Family Acclaimed English actor and producer (1908-85); known best
for his theatrical work; his daughters Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave, and Vanessa’s daughters Natasha and
Joely Richardson have all made their mark in film. A wealth of correspondence: 9 Autograph Letters
Signed, 46 TLS, an ANS and two DS, signed various ways, most on his imprinted stationery, various
places (mostly London), 1948-73. All are to New York lawyer Arnold Weissberger. Many with great
content, as Redgrave critiques his own work. He mentions A Month in the Country, A Woman in Love,
The Astonished Heart, Hamlet, Henry IV, The Tempest, Horatio Hornblower, Juliana, Antony and Cleopatra, Hedda Gabler, My Fair Lady, Out of Bounds, La Boheme, Gaugin, and many others. In 1949, he
notes: “a great advantage that we have in London as compared with New York - that we can put
on plays which obviously have a limited appeal and expect to get our costs back in a few weeks...”
After his 1948 New York debut in the role of Macbeth, he reflects, “I think that my next appearance
in New York ought to be in something which is very specially ‘mine’...Even ones friends could
hardly call [Macbeth] anything better than a near-miss...” With Card Signed “With all our love
also / Rachel & Michael,” all in his hand, with a cover illustration of Redgrave as Richard II. With six
Telegrams by Redgrave, 1962-67. Complementing Redgrave’s correspondence are ALS variously by his
wife Rachel Kempson [4], his son and biographer Corin, his daughter Lynn [3], and her husband John
Clark. In her final letter to Weissberger, Kempson asks about selling the family’s London home, explaining that “with Mike’s wretched ‘Parkinsons’ we can no longer afford 2 homes...” Generally VG.
An outstanding archive deserving additional research and discovery. [72] (photo - page 76)

USS Monitor: John Ericsson Swedish-born engineer and inventor (1803-89); designed the ironclad
USS Monitor, and revolutionized sea travel with his caloric engine and perfection of the screw propeller.
Interesting Autograph Letter Signed “J. Ericsson,” 1 page, 4to, New York, August 3, 1852. He writes
to journalist and lawyer John O. Sargent, “You asked me last night to state candidly my opinion in regard to Mr. James Flagg’s fitness to take the lamented Mr. Dawning’s place - Mr. Flagg is eminently
qualified to fill the situation - He is a skilful [sic] agricultural chemist, a botanist of considerable acquirements, intimately acquainted with English ornamental gardening, a very neat architectural &
mechanical draughtsman and designs with much facility & taste - I may add that Mr. Flagg is quite
an educated man and possesses much useful & varied information...” Old catalogue description pasted
to head of letter in blank margin; lightly age-toned, with edge and fold wear including minor splits at
left edge, otherwise in good condition. In 1842, Sargent had published a lecture he’d given at the Boston
Lyceum on naval improvements, specifically Ericsson’s caloric engine. With ALS “J. Ericsson,” 1 page,
8vo, no place, “Thursday morning” [March 1857]. Writing to shipping entrepreneur John B. Kitching,
he pens “If you can spare time give me a call to day, between 3 & 5 o’clock, you will see something in
the caloric line that will please you...” Age-toned, stained, otherwise good. Kitching must have been
very pleased, for he became principal owner of the Ericsson, a transatlantic passenger steamer, and would
run an agency in New York that sold caloric engines. [2] (photo - page 76)

[Whaling Manuscript]: Green, Capt. James - Journal of a whaling voyage for the bark “Nimrod” out
of Sag Harbor on July 4th, 1851 - New Bedford, CT - a log kept by the master of the vessel, James Green,
during the bark’s four year voyage to the South Atlantic, returned in August of 1853. Plain boards with
marbled paper intact but splitting from spine, 75 pages, some pages missing at beginning and end, half
torn pages, no whaling stamps or illustrations save one small sailing vessel {July 5, 1852}. Pencil markings throughout and some pasted in verses and articles. Complete transcription accompanies lot as well
as contemporary tradespaper, Whalemen’s Shipping List, and Merchants’ Transcript,” New-Bedford, May
31, 1853, No.13, Vol. XI.
In terse commentary throughout this journal, Captain Green conveys to the reader all of the boredom and
tedium of a four-year long whaling voyage, punctuated by the aggravation of many missed opportunities to
capture “spurm” and right whales. In one passage Captain Green’s exasperation is only too clear as he writes
“....the West Boat went on to one Large 110 Bll (barrel) Whale and the Boatsteerer Mist (SIC) him. A First
Rate Chance Mist, Mist, Mist, Mist.” Captain Green probably would have added the word “Mist” a few
more times, but he was at the end of the ledger page! (photo)

Hampton Roads for the Union; retired in July, 1862. Interesting Manuscript Letter Signed “John E.
Wool / Major General,” 1 page, 4to, Troy, New York, September 14, 1858. Responding to “Major
Gen’l Augustus Morse / Leominster / Worcester, Mass.” General Wool generously relates: “I have
just returned from celebrating the Anniversary of the battle of Plattsburgh [an important US victory in 1814] when I had the honor to receive your kind invitation to review your Division...at
the camp of General Wool, near Springfield, Mass. I regret that other engagements will deprive
me of the very great pleasure it would afford me not only to review your Division, but to accompany the Governor in so pleasing a duty. If I had been notified of your invitation three weeks
earlier I could have complied with your desires. By invitation I leave this evening for Springfield
to attend the National Horse Fair...For giving your Camp the name of General Wool I tender you
my grateful acknowledgments...” Lightly age-toned, with file holes in blank left margin. Mounting
traces on verso, otherwise in good condition. Accompanied by an engraved portrait of Wool in uniform.

Iconic Fractional Currency Shield
728
728
Seldom Available “Original” Framed Gray Fractional Currency Shield - Fr. 1382.Not originally issued in frames, it
is evident that many Fractional Currency Shields soon found their way into gold trimmed wooden frames, perhaps for display in public areas such as post offices. Because of the contemporary housing that is missing so frequently on shields that
exist today is intact on the present, we don’t hesitate to endorse the present as fully “original”. Further differentiating the
current shield from many that are offered today is the absence of water stains on the bottom quarter. Like most of the gray
shields (gray being the most common of three varieties), the present is composed of 39 specimen fractional notes, four or
which have hand-signed Jefferies-Spinner signature combinations. Minor variations in note conditions are visible, but the
notation of specific specimen condition remains unnecessary given their relative similarity. Several condition issues however do exist and, while not major deterrents in the big picture, are worthy of mention. While not uncommon, the paper
has moderately but evenly toned and close inspection yields a small tear in the lower right margin that steers clear of the
shield. Additionally, several folds and creases enter the shield, primarily on the right side. Additionally, it is apparent that
insects at one time made their acquaintance with the shield as minor paper thinning is traceable around portions of the
margins. All said though, the present original frame, glass and shield, a combination that appears to be getting rarer and
rarer with time, presents wonderfully and is one of the most visually imposing items available to banknote aficionados. Further, it is one of the truest pieces of numismatic Americana available to collectors, offering those few lucky owners the
chance to intimately connect to a time when counterfeiting was a great public concern and the government’s answer to
said problem was to produce a visual display of what things “should look like”, so as to educate the populace. A wonderful piece of American fabric that is sure to be cherished by its next owner. (photo)

worth remained unaccounted for. Notes from this bank are “Unreported” in Kelly, and Track & Price

An Interesting Collection of 18th Century Swiss and
Northern Italian Fiscal Paper.
Included are over seventy documents from Bellinzona,
Rohrschach, Ragatz, Rheineck, St. Gallen, Gunzburg,
Bergamo, Como, Intra, Milano and Chiavenna. Dated
from the 1740s to the 1790s. Several are on printed
forms, others are manuscript. Most appear to be
freight invoices and other shipper’s records, many
bearing shipper’s and receiver’s individual marks.
These are in the form of letters and geometric designs
such as 5-pointed stars (perhaps a Jewish merchant),
triangles and crosses, that would appear on the boxes
of freight as identifying marks. Most are in Very Fine
condition with very little age toning. An unusual collection, probably difficult to duplicate. Must be seen.

Hittite port, Sinope became the wealthiest emporium on
the southern Euxine coast. Between 780 and 756 BC,
Milesian Greeks founded a settlement there, while the
area came under Phrygian contol in 700 BC. Sinope
was laid waste by the Cimmerians in 677 BC, only to be
refounded as a Milesian colony in ca. 630 BC. It later
came under the yoke of the Persian empire. Following
the defeat of the Persians at the hands of Alexander the
Great, the Macedonian ruler told Sinope’s ambassador
that the city should keep its old independence. After
Alexander’s death, Sinope was able to remain independent both of the Seleukids and the Pontic kings. Syrian influence, though, was clear and this tetradrachm
emulates Seleukid types of Antiochos III, albeit in distinctive Sinopan fashion. The obverse depicts Sinope,
daughter of Asopus, who, according to the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, bore Apollo (depicted on the reverse) a son, Syrus, the eponymous first king of the
Syrians. (photo)

Ex-Clive of India Treasure Peca
In 1997, various South African bodies and authorities
laid claim to the treasure based on their belief that it
is Clive’s gold, culminating in a settlement by consent
of the parties and order of the court. The coin above
was one of a little over 800 gold coins - the only coins
available for sale from the collection originally presented to Spink, sold in the Clive of India Treasure
Sale.

Brazil, Jose I (1750-1777), 6,400 Reis (Peça), 1752,

In April, 1755 Robert Clive was preparing for his voyage back to India. Beginning his career as a lowly clerk
in the British East India Company, Clive had returned
to England two years earlier as a rich and successful
military hero, briefly pursuing a flirtation with politics. Now returning to the battlefields of India, he
packed his belongings and nearly £3,000 of gold coins
(England then abounded with Brazilian gold coin)
and left with his wife aboard the Stretham, which
sailed for India with several other ships on April 22.
His gold, though, had been consigned to another
ship, the Dodington.
Beset in stormy weather off Chaos Island in Algoa
Bay, near present day Port Elizabeth in South Africa,
the Dodington hit a reef and smashed into pieces. Only
23 of the 270 aboard survived, living for seven
months on Chaos Island, now known as Bird island
(so named for the legions of birds whose guano contributions over the years has made the island a valued
natural resource). They recovered portions of the
wreckage - tools, provisions and one “Chest of Treasure” and one of “Wrought Plate.” The treasure was
disputed, the officers wanted to save it for their consignors and the other survivors wanted to divide it
among themselves. One chest was opened surreptitiously and more than half the contents stolen and
hidden. The survivors sailed to Mozambique aboard
an escape vessel they had built, then on to India,
where Clive soon learned of his loss.
Over the years, some in the Cape Colony believed that
more than two treasure chests came ashore on Bird
Island and that the additional chests were buried by
the officers to avoid conflict and mutiny. In England,
meanwhile, the story of the wreck of the Dodington
captured the public imagination and stirred the interest of salvagers and would-be treasure hunters.

Very Rare Marriage Ruble In Gold
1027
1027
RUSSIA, Nicholas I (1825-1855), Marriage Ruble in Gold 1841, St. Petersburg, By H. Gube, On
the Wedding of Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich (the future Tsar Alexander II) and Princess
Maria Alexandrovna of Hesse-Darmstadt. 32.69 grams. Reeded edge. Their conjoined busts l.,
Maria of Hesse wearing a laurel wreath, PѢЗAΛЪ ΓYБE below heads (Cut by Gube). Rev. Crowned
shield emblazoned with the ciphers of Alexander and Maria, supported by Cupid holding a bow at
right and Psyche holding a stalk of lilies at left, St. Petersburg mintmark: C.П.Б. left edge, H.-Γ.
below shield (Bitkin 899). PCGS Genuine Tooled - UNC Details. Friction hairlines, small scratch
upper reverse, tooling lower heads. Good lustre.
On a state visit to England in 1838, Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich was unsuccessful in his
marital advances on the young Queen. But while touring Europe in the same year, he had fallen in
love with Princess Maximiliane Wilhelmine Auguste Sophie Marie of Hesse-Darmstadt, then but a
tender 14. In 1840, he decided to marry her and the princess arrived in September. Immediately popular with the people, Princess Marie was duly renamed Maria Alexandrovna.
Mint-produced commemorative coin issues in Russia only began in 1834 with the Alexandrine Column Ruble. And with the marriage of his heir looming, Tsar Nicholas I decided to use this new innovation to honor and commemorate the event, ordering the State Mint to prepare designs for a
medallic coinage. Heinrich Gube’s designs were chosen.
Alexander Nikolaevich and Maria Alexandrovna were wed April 16, 1841 in an elaborate ceremony.
And the numismatic outpouring from the event was equally elaborate, a Medallic Ruble and Medals,
in three metals were produced. (photo)

headdress feathers, likely prevented an even finer designation. (photo)

1863 50 Cents. PCGS MS64. An exquisite Civil
War representative with the combination of few contact marks and knife-like rendering of the intended
design elements. The luster varies by side, with the
obverse luster being frosty and encircling the central
devices and the reverse being slightly semi-prooflike as
the result of considerable die polish lines. Interestingly, some die rust is present beneath the olive branch
on the reverse, likely the result of a storage mishap and
usage on a previous year’s coinage. A wonderful premium example and sure to be met with enthusiasm.

sharply defined example of this early Heraldic Eagle
half dollar with attractive gray-tan coloration over
both sides that lightens at areas with heavier wear.
One pock mark to the right of Liberty’s face and several short pinscratches on the reverse would prevent
problem-free certification. Still, above-average for the

most of Liberty’s hair detail remaining. (photo)

boldly detailed example of this avidly collected “small
eagle” type with mostly untoned surfaces that hold
some hairlines and edges that show some apparent
damage. Given the overall appearance, authenticity has
been questioned - and PCGS agreed, offering a “No

Free of all but the slightest contact marks with an attractive veil of patina over both sides. Underlying
brightness suggests a past cleaning, but given the high
percentage of survivors that have seen at least this level
of cleaning, mild offenders, such as the present, are
often allowed to slide by at the grading services. As
such, this borderline “market acceptable” example
may or may not receive detail-free grading at the leading grading services. (photo)

some of the obverse peripheral tone is “too dark” and
would likely result in a failure to make it into a problem-free holder. (photo)

1881-CC GSA 1 Dollar. NGC MS67. A better-date Carson City issue from the storied Government Services Administration hoard that was released to the public during the Nixon administration.
Most dates, including the 1881-CC, can be located with limited searching in lower mint state grades,
but the scarcer dates often become difficult as premium Gems and, certainly as is the case of the present, truly rare and important at the Superb Gem level. As it is, the present dollar, in its original GSA
holder, represents one of the very finest GSA dollars of any date remaining and is tied for the finest
1881-CC graded by NGC (NGC is the only company that certifies GSA holders intact). The surfaces maintain thick nearly mark-free frost on both sides with the addition of a thin crescent of rainbow color on the reverse that ads to its personality. The strike is perfect. An important item not
only as a coin, but also as a piece of Americana. Housed in its origianl box of issue with certificate
of authenticity. An NGC grading band has been placed around the original GSA holder to preserve
the original nature of this item and detect any future tampering. (photo)
