Lot 2273		1805 George Washington "Eccleston" Medal in Copper, Extremely Fine. 76 mm. Baker 85.

Dies cut by Thomas Webb, a British engraver who worked 1804-1827. This piece seemed to be issued with a twist of subtle satire. The obverse of the medal depicts Washington in a heavy suit of armor - 'a singular conceit,' notes Baker. The reverse has an Indian standing head downcast, with an arrow in his right hand and leaning on a bow. The, surrounding the Indian at center are the words THE LAND WAS OURS. The medal appears to be more of a commentary on the expropriation by colonists of Indian lands than a tribute to Washington. In fact the engraver chose armor to depict Washington as a warrior. Eccleston, an eccentric Quaker, had a lifelong interest in aboriginal rights…" Estimated Value $800 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Lot 2278		World War II Survival Kit. Also known as a DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE GOLD BARTER KIT. Consists of: 10 franc, 20 franc, ½ sovereign (2), 1 sovereign, gold rings (3). These historic kits were made for use by men involved in clandestine operations, paratropers, certain fliers, and military personel dropped behind enemy lines in Europe during World War I. It would be difficult to find a more numismatic relic of that war. These kits were advertised to have one British or South African sovereign, two half-sovereigns, a French 20 franc and a 10 franc piece. In addition, each kit contained three gold rings. The numismatic publications stressed that no thought was given to the condition of the coins when the kits were assembled and that many might contain coins in only very good condition. The object of the kit was to provide an allied agent with a treasury which would provide the means of persuading a person in Germany or the Nazis occupied areas to assist him in his operation or provide him with military information. If he was a pilot who had been shot down the gold could help him escape capture and internment. The plan probably worked because even in a fascist state there is a built-in feature of a desire by the citizens to "beat the system." As gold was very valuable during the war, the allied fighter had a good chance of obtaining help. This set is sealed in hard black rubber and is unopened. Stamped is "If Found Return to NavAirLant Conal 34 Norfolk Virginia and stamped 1152. Estimated Value $500 - 1,000.
