A 19th century hollow body cow
weathervane on a modern metal stand. I'm not
certain of the maker, but it is unusual in this sense.
The udders are fully visible on one side and only
partially visible on the other. The color and surface
are truly honest and supreme. It is my opinion there
have been two surfaces applied over the years. One was
its original gold leaf squares which are still slightly
visible and the second being a coat of gold paint which
is mostly weathered off in some places exposing the
squares. It retains a very good color and surface. It
seems to be untouched as I do not see any signs of
repairs and it's structurally solid. Size: 24"wide, 15"
tall and about 2" thick. Inventory number 25-686.

compares to a photograph. This example of a young man
rests in its original frame which measures 4.75 x 5.5
and remains in excellent condition. Inventory number
25-856.

William Kennedy, 1817-1871, a 19th
century American itinerant folk artist who concentrated his
skill on individual and family portraits. Kennedy was
active along the eastern seacoast working from Maine to as
far south as Baltimore. His portraits are highly sought
after and can be found in major collections and institutions
all across America and while living in close proximity to
William Matthew Prior in Boston, no evidence has been found
that associates the two in what we now call the Prior
Hamblin School.
This portrait, depicting a young girl, remains completely
original and undisturbed except for the frame which is a
modern addition. Size: 16.5 x 18.5. Inventory number 25-858. $6500.

A very small, cast zinc and
tin, optical trade sign. Unlike its larger kin,
this was used in conjunction with a larger jewelers

example may or may not have ever been painted with
eyeball details and if it were, mother nature has long
since washed it all away. Size: 23.5 x 5 inches.

Late 18th century hand forged farrier's
buttress tool. The thought that went into this tool is quite
astonishing. The concentric forged circle took a lot more time to
make and the well worn fish tail handle adds even more interest. It

Yes, originally a tool, but now over the years has transformed
itself into a place of sculptural beauty. Inventory number 25-332.

An early 20th
century, double-sided game board. One side is a
backgammon game with a checkers game on the reverse side. With all
double-sided boards, one side always has more appeal than the other.
In this case, I love the backgammon side with its two eye-appealing
stars. Both sides feature incised fields which is unusual and a nice
added touch. It remains completely untouched in its original
condition and measures 15.5 x 12. c1920. Inventory number 25-174.

19th century ships caulking hammer. We are not anywhere close to
being known as a tool dealer, but when we saw this in its original

Antonio Jacobson,
1850-1921. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, he migrated to the
United States in 1873 where he began his career of painting ship
portraits. He studied at the Royal Academy of Design where he
further developed his skills as an accomplished artist. It is said
he painted over 6000 portraits of both steam and sailing vessels and
while this portrait, of an unknown ship, is very well done, it also
remains in very good condition. It appears there are some small
areas of touch up and looks as if it had a light cleaning at some
point in its lifetime. He was often called "The Audubon of Steam
Vessels". Size: 21.5 x 15.5 overall. Inventory number 24-572.
