Lot 491		[Roosevelt, Franklin and Eleanor] 1935 Christmas Gift to White House Staff.

The Forge was established in 1934 as part of Val-Kill Industries, a crafts style cottage business founded in 1926 by Eleanor and her friends Nancy Cook, Marion Dickerman, and Caroline O'Day. The business was set up on the Roosevelt estate in Hyde Park, New York, with the purpose of providing local farmers and their families with a second income. Arnold Berge was the metal smith. The Forge closed in 1940, due to war-related metal shortages and the dissolution of the owners' friendship. Due to the relatively few items produced by The Forge and the Roosevelt association, items made there are valuable. Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $1,898
Lot 492		[Seymour, Horatio] Campaign Political Broadsheet (1810-86) Democratic presidential nominee in 1868; governor of New York in 1863-64. He became a leading Northern opponent of President Lincoln's administration during the Civil War, protesting Lincoln's restriction of civil liberties, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the military draft. Political broadsheet titled "Greenbacks For Bonds - The Contract" in its complete form and full size (9½ x 8 in.). Boldly printed in green and black ink. These were printed to illustrate the views of the Democratic "Radicals", who decried the huge profits being made by bondholders at the expense of the working man, not to mention the fact that the bond income was tax-free! Part of the problem was that the new Greenbacks issued by the U.S. government were not backed by gold and, as a result, the value of the paper money fluctuated (often wildly) in relation to tangible goods. The working man was paid in Greenbacks, but the bondholders were paid in gold, creating an imbalance and effectively transferring wealth from the working man to the bondholders. Two pieces of clear reinforcing tape on two reverse edge folds, else fine. Usually, only the top part of the broadsheet is seen (the note itself) and the explanatory information at the bottom is discarded. As a result, price records for complete examples are high -- (in January 2000, Stack's sold a slightly nicer example than the one offered here for $7,935). Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.

This was the Trumans first Christmas in Washington; in 1945 and 1946, they had returned home to Missouri to celebrate the holiday. Very fine. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $920

This portrait was reproduced as a ten-color litho with a canvas finish that gives it the appearance and texture of a genuine oil painting.

A clear George Washington profile, with some relief detail, is placed over a background paper with a wreath of leaves as an ornate decorative design at the peripheries. Its reverse has a tightly woven bow made out of somewhat dark hair, which cannot be attributed to Washsington. It is encased in what appears to be a coin silver outer bezel frame, with an ornate ball style suspension loop at top. The high-domed original, period glass covers each side, the obverse of which has a very fine diagonal crack and there is some faint, minor moisture discoloration at the upper right extreme edge, away from the Washington portrait. This is the finest quality example of this style memorial pendant that we have encountered. Estimated Value $2,000 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 501		[Washington, George] Portrait "Cameo" Gold Ring, c. 1820. Small lady's ring with a beautiful, white milk glass cameo profile bust of George Washington attached to a flat black stone and then set in a gold ring.

Lot 502		[Washington, George] Receipt for Family Crested Seal Stamp. Manuscript receipt for a wax seal stamp, made of gold, for George Washington's nephew, arranged in Philadelphia by Tobias Lear, 4 x 7½ in., June 11, 1792. Joseph Cooke of Philadelphia acknowledges the receipt of 7 Pounds, 10 Shillings from Tobias Lear, George Washington's personal secretary, for: "…a Gold Seal with Cyphor G A W & Crest". Washington himself had no middle name, so the only close "GAW" member of his family was George Augustine Washington, his nephew, and the son of his brother, Charles Washington. George Augustine was born about 1763 and would have been 30 years old in 1792. This lavish gold seal would have been a generous gift from his uncle, the President. Sadly, George A. died in 1793, preceding both his father and uncle in death. Written on fine, laid, watermarked paper, toned along the bottom edge. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 503		[1864 Presidential Campaign] John C. Frémont. This is the same pose found on the most familiar varieties of Frémont's 1864 presidential candidate campaign ferrotypes; therefore, it is possible that this tintype may well have been made for the campaign. It is definitely not common or from the c. 1862 "Abbott" series, as the pose is totally different. Housed in a gilt bordered, 1¾ x 2 in. embossed leather case. A remarkable quality tintype and the finest we have ever offered of General Fremont. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
