William
Pierce Stubbs, Boston,
Massachusetts, 1842-1909.
Stubbs was a prolific New
England port painter working
mostly in Boston and surrounding
areas. Stubbs was an excellent
artist when he was sober.
Recently at a Maine auction his
name was signed "Stuubs" and you
could tell the quality of that
work was good, but not up to
par. Enough of that. This OOC
example is one of his finer
works depicting the ship
"Glide". There are some areas of
minor inpainting but nothing
distracting. It's presented in a
modern gold frame which measures
39 x 26 overall. The colors are
bright with slight overall
craquelure and signed LL. If you
have a Stubbs ship portrait on
your wishlist, please give this
some thought. Inventory number
26-676.

James
Gale Tyler (NY/CT, 1855-1931).
A luminist depiction of a
pair of schooners running with
the wind under moonlight. OOC in
a fine modern gilt frame and
signed LR. Condition: overall
quite good and original with
some minor restretching of the
canvas. He studied under A. Cary
Smith and became a serious
artist in his own right, being
basically self-taught. He is
well known for painting every
America's Cup race since 1900,
and in 1930, he painted Shamrock
and Enterprise off Newport,
Rhode Island. Both works were
exhibited at the Union League
Club. Size: 26 x 22. Inventory
number 26-719.

Cast iron "hog
line" pig. If you're a curling
fan, the term "Hog Line" would be
something very familiar to you. This is
the second one of these I've owned and
learned they marked these lines as a
reference for those who participated in
the sport. It is quite heavy, measures 9
x 18 x 7, and remains in excellent
condition. Inventory number 26-717.

A very
rare and smaller-sized stamped
brass eagle and shield. I
have seen this form a few times,
but always in a much larger
size. Measuring only 29 x 18, it
remains in very good untouched
original condition. We were
thrilled to have been able to
acquire this little gem from a
California collection..

A wonderful
early 20th-century Mennonite fan quilt.
It's my guess this quilt was used very
little, if ever. It remains in excellent
condition without any flaws we could
find. Its vibrant colors are well chosen
and pleasing to the eye, plus its black
ground adds additional interest. Size:
82 x 82. Inventory number 26-509.
$1,200.

Charles Hart, Gloucester,
Massachusetts, 1862-1960.
In the folk art world, the name
Charles Hart is synonymous with
penguins. It wasn't until very
recently that I learned he made
both life-sized and miniature
robins, which are quite rare and
very elusive. This little gem
remains in its original and
untouched form, color, and
surface and a close look reveals
a fine old surface reflective of
its age and condition. It
measures only 5.75 x 5 and dates
from 1930. Inventory number
26-637.
$1,950.

One of
the best fungus paintings I have
ever seen. It is signed
and dated by the artist, who in
my opinion was highly skilled. A
harbor scene like this could
have easily found its way to a
canvas, but here it is on a
humble shelf fungus. Normally
I'm not a big fan of fungus
paintings, but this was truly an
exception. Size: 16 x 8.5.
Inventory number 26-487.
$395.
