1PP - GENERAL GEORGE CUSTER ORIGINAL PEN & INK ARTWORK BY V. FLOYD
CAMPBELL AND USED IN THE BOOK "CIVIL WAR ECHOES" This item was
something my husband Dale Anderson purchased many years ago and we eventually
used it for the front cover of our 1985 Wild West Auction, featuring many items
from Dale's Personal Collection. It was one of two items in the lot, and
did not sell in the auction at the time. It has been in storage ever
since. The other item described as since been sold. Dale knew it was
an original artwork used in V. Floyd Campbell's book, and marked that
information on the envelope it was stored in. Many of you will remember we
published three separate auction catalogs for three separate auctions of Dale's
personal collections: Wild West Auction, Aviation Auction, and American Plains
Indian Auction. They were hugely successful at the time, and I still have
a few copies of the first two, but do not believe I have any of the Indian
Auction catalogs left. See the listings below. This piece measures
roughly 8 x 11 3/4", not completely cut straight. See the photos for all
the details. The color is not true on all of them. It has an aged
color, like the scans I took, not the actual photographs I took. I will
put them all on here for you to get a good idea of the variations, but the
actual color are the darker tones. $1,500
Sale Price $1,100
2PP
- ORIGINAL WWI & WWII POSTERS
The following were from a huge lot Dale purchased decades ago. Most were
recently displayed in our Alaska home, living room, Dale's office, etc. We
would lay the poster over an acid free mat, then put Plexiglass on top, and
attach to the wall with mirror clips. It didn't cause any damage to the
posters. Now they are down and rolled, ready to ship (a few that can not
be rolled, will be noted). No Plexiglass or mats included. I'll list
the size, any unusual condition, price for each. All original!! If
there are tape repairs, most were done with Archival document repair tape, but
some do have much older tape repair. Some had chunks missing filled in.
Check the photos for most of those details. Also note that while most of
the photos show the posters uneven, it is only because I had to take them at
angles from a high ladder. I will list these at prices that should move
them along quickly.

3PP - LOT OF 38 VARIOUS PHOTOS FROM WWI - ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE
Dale purchased these at auction in 1992 from Dunning's Auction
Service in Elgin Illinois. I won't take the time to split them out, but
just sell as one lot and let you do the piece by piece selling. I am also
going to let you go through the photos to see what there is, as describing them
is a bit over my head. I don't know how to describe some of the uniforms,
rank and machinery.

4PP - AUCTION CATALOG OF DALE'S PERSONAL COLLECTION OF WILD WEST
MATERIAL, INCLUDING GEORGE CUSTER AND OTHERS This is a 100 page
+ cover catalog that we produced for our May 1985 mail order auction of Dale's
personal collection. It included many items from the 7th Cavalry, famous
Western, Military and Political figures, and some Indian material. Mostly
black & white photos, and a few color. Tons of information on some very
important items. Also included is the Prices Realized sheet. Only
have a few copies left. I will send via Media mail. $25 each
5PP - AUCTION CATALOG OF DALE'S PERSONAL AVIATION COLLECTION This
is a 93 page + cover catalog that we produced for our October 1990 mail order
auction of Dale's personal collection. It consisted of a large variety of
aviation material, including 50+ painted leather jackets. Lots of black &
white photos, and color photos of the leather jackets. Also some great and
interesting information. Also included is the Prices Realized sheet. This is an invaluable reference
catalog. $25 each
6PP -
OUR FLAG LITHOGRAPH - COLUMBIA RODE THROUGH THE STORM
My guess is this was made 1890's. The Litho company name from
Philadelphia in the lower right, has been mostly obliterated. Not sure
if it was deliberately or accidentally rubbed. 17 1/2 x 21 3/4". It
was in a frame behind glass until recently. This is a very nice
rendition of the United States flag on a flagstaff, towering above the
clouds, some which look dark and nasty, and the other part is a blue
sky. Dramatic. The words below are "COLUMBIA RODE SAFE THROUGH THE
STORM" and "OUR FLAG" below. Some minor staining only in the white
border areas. I will ship this rolled.
$50
Sale Price $25
 
7PP - VERY NICE CIVIL WAR CDV OF LADY LIBERTY IN AN EQUALLY NICE
WOOD FRAME The frame measures 8 1/4" wide x 9 1/4" tall.
Classic style from the Civil War, with corner flourishes, and a gilt type inner
portion before the glass. The CDV is 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" in the mat. You
may want to re-frame the CDV, as it is kind of loose within the frame.
This was something I displayed for years in our homes. Time to move it
along. $75
Sale
Price $50
8PP - BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE HAIL MARY PRAYER WATERCOLOR PAINTING
While not a military related item, it is a wonderful piece I would like
to find a new home for. Bought this at a flea market probably 20 years
ago. This is a beautifully done water color of the HAIL MARY prayer.
Dainty, delicate and colorful scroll work and leaves mostly surround the
prayer. 12 x 16". Was once framed, and while I'm unsure of the age, it
has some minor darkening to the edges of the heavy paper mat this was
painted on. The reverse shows some pencil words Hail Mary, likely
practice prior to drawing and painting it in its current form. $25
Sale Price $15
9PP - 19th CENTURY CHROMOLITHOGRAPH "THE BATTLE OF LAKE
ERIE" Another item we had displayed on our wall in
Alaska, and no doubt something Dale had tucked away for years. 16
x 23". I removed it from a heavy frame, and will ship just the
litho. The only markings I see are in the lower left corner - "STROBRIDGE
& CO. CHROMO, CIN. O". Overall excellent condition, a bit toned
down, but quite an impressive scene. The rear of the litho shows a
lot of yellowing, probably from being framed on an acid mat. Only
one very small cut on the edge, with some old tape. A framed one
sold at Cowans in 2011 for $382. My price is...$175
Sale Price $95
10PP - 2005 THE GUN REPORT 50 Years, Volume 51, Number 1 1955-2005
50 year edition of this very popular, and long running publication. Very good
condition overall, no dog ears, no marks or highlighting. "The GUN REPORT
Volume 51, Number 1 June 2005 / $10.00" - "50 Years Serving Firearm
Collectors Around the World 1955-2005". $4

13PP - WWII AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION
FLASH CARDS Used
to teach aircraft identification to Ground Observer Corps members -
people who during WWII kept a constant look at the skies. The
same cards were used in combat theaters as well to teach aircrews,
ground observers, gunners, etc., how to identify enemy aircraft.
These cards are originals and are mostly 4 x 5'', white cardstock,
printed in black, showing three views of each aircraft. These
came from the Albany Air Region Ground Observer Corps. This is a
nice sampling of the cards used.
Have set of 9 different... $15
Sale Price $8
14PP - SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
PATRIOTIC REMEMBER THE MAINE PAPER SHOPPING BAG! Featuring
UNCLE SAM. Amazing original item. Heavy manila paper bag, with facing
side decorated with a 5¼” tall cartoon. This consists of the figure
of Uncle Sam, flanked by a soldier and a sailor, each pointing to the
banner arching over Uncle Sam. It reads “WE HAVE REMEMBERED
THE MAINE”. Probably given out just after the War ended. The
grocer’s name and address is printed below "W. D.
MELLEN, ATHOL, MASS.". A splendid and rare patriotic Homefront
item. Never used; just has some storage and
age darkening. 10 1/2 x 15”.

- 8 SETS "THE
AMERICAN SOLDIER" PRINTS THIS
IS A FANTASTIC SET, WITH FABULOUS GRAPHICS!! Another
group of items from Dale's reference library. Just want to sell all
together as one lot. 9 x 12 3/4". These sets were published
by the Government Printing Office during the 1960's, in different sets
sold separately, depicting soldiers and uniforms from the 1700's through
1963. Each group has its own booklet describing each print. It states
that "The enclosed full-color reproductions of painting are..." There
are a couple duplicates. A couple sets were wet along the side, some
time in the past, so now they are obviously damaged. Most are in
excellent to near mint condition. A few were tacked up some time in
their past, and others have no holes. $75 for the lot
Sale Price $50
1. 10 prints, 1775 through 1965. Water damage.
2. 10 prints, 1776 through 1975. Near mint.
3. 10 prints, 1780 through 1966. Near mint.
4. 10 prints, 1781 through 1855. Water damage.

holes.
17PP - TWO BEAUTIFUL SETS OF PRINTS - REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIERS AND
EARLY NAVAL VESSELS THIS
IS A FANTASTIC SET, WITH FABULOUS GRAPHICS!! Dale bought both of these sets in 1975 from
the Government Printing Office. Both come with their original mailing
envelopes. 1. The first set is entitled
"SOLDIERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION Published by Center of Military History,
Department of the Army". There are 10 prints, 17 x 22", 1974 date
on the lower corner of each print. These are just beautiful and great for
framing, all in near mint or better condition. 2. The second
set consists of 20 prints of 1700's naval vessels of all manner. The
prints seem to be reproduced from various artists and oil paintings. The
bottom of each print has "Naval History Division,
Department of the Navy, Washington D.C.". These are also near mint
or better. Would be great for framing. Comes with the original
mailing envelope with a date of 9-2-75 delivery attempt. Both sets for
$200 Sale Price $100
18PP -
HUGE 1940's UNITED STATES MAP WITH LOTS OF INFORMATION Believe this is
WWII 1940's period. There is no date, unfortunately, but going by the
information listed, it just makes sense it is from the 40's. If you look
closely at some areas in each state, you can also determine what areas exist now
that didn't exist then, and figure some of it out. A whopping 41 x 54", folded
in storage down to 10 1/4 x 13 1/2". Printed on heavier paper, it's in really
great shape overall with some parted areas along the folds. This map consists
of a huge United States in the main portion, along with a smaller U.S. showing
Air Mail routes, and another showing Minerals and Agriculture. Other boxes show
states and territories. The main text box has a large "UNITED STATES / Produced
under the direction of Alexander Gross, F.R.G.S. / PUBLISHED BY / GEOGRAPHIA MAP
CO. 11 John St., NEW YORK". Below that are references for Railroads, Canals,
Scenes of Battle. Tons of info on this map; it is quite large, and will need
space to display it.

A. 1945 Cover An original WWII envelope sent
through the postal system. Has a cancelled 3 cent stamp and was postmarked
Cleveland, Ohio Jan 30, 1945. This envelope is a bit larger than most at 4
x 7 1/2". The reverse has a stamp and a lot of numbers and letters, perhaps a
union member, not sure. $3
C. 1945 Cover An original WWII envelope sent
through the postal system. Has a cancelled 3 cent U.S. Navy stamp, and was
postmarked Nashville, Tenn Dec. 4 1945. Tiny tear to envelope at right of
stamp. $3
22PP - ORIGINAL FRAMED OIL PAINTING "SPRINGTIME IN NEW MEXICO" by
SULLIVAN We have owned this painting since 1982.
Unfortunately, I don't know where Dale acquired it, but we did a lot of antique
shows and antique markets, partly as our business and partly because we loved
buying antiques for our home. I'm in the process of downsizing, and hoping
this great painting finds a great new home. Total size size in the frame
is 23 x 28 3/4". Wonderful colors of the southwest, and a very well done
painting. Not sure when this was done, but I'm guessing it was in the
70's. The back of the 18 x 24" canvas panel has written "GENUINE OIL
PAINTING BY SULLIVAN / SPRINGTIME IN NEW MEXICO". Have no more information
on this artist. $195
