Top of the with hard wood trim and leather straps. Hard case, exterior covered with Burlap/Fabric adorned with hand-painted, black geometric design. Wonderful curved wood spines secured with brass rivets. Brass plates attached to wood spines on edges to protect corners. Thick leather handle straps secured with metal on ends, one handle is ripped on both ends with center missing, the other is broken in the center but still attached. Trunk measures approximately 3 ft long, 2 ft tall and 21” wide. Heavy duty, top of the line, European steamer trunk of the highest quality. Wear commensurate with age and use. One small section of wood spine on bottom edge is broken and missing. There is a square on the front indicating a label has been removed. The original bronze latches and locks on front need repair but are all present. This trunk was used, but not abused. Expected oxidation of metal. Some moisture staining but clean inside with a few tears to original fabric but no odors. Hinges are firm and secure. Opens and closes firmly. Please see photos. Top of the line and expensive in its day, harkening back to the Golden Age of Ocean Liners, Steam Travel and Luxury Jaunts. Other trunks of similar design and quality are priced high online - this Swedish trunk may have great profit potential. Exterior lettering stenciled on the top and left end, and large black writing on the bottom (designating passenger and number code for luggage, labelled by carrier) Top reads, “W. A. Grebst / Gothenburg / 2. W. G. Mrs.” End label reads: “Mrs. Stella Grebst/Los Angeles, Calif.” with a round sticker from The Savoy Hotel in London. A rectangular sticker on the interior appears to be the manufacturer of the trunk or the fabric lining, or both and is illustrated with a factory in Gothenborg, Sweden and the name John A. Gahme. Printer is Meyer & Kostner. This trunk most likely travelled across oceans by steamship several times. We found voyages for Stella and William Grebst on the Lucitania in 1914, the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse in 1909 and the Stockholm in 1919. Stella Grebst was born in Boise, Idaho and married Sweden native, William but returned to the U.S. to live with her mother for several years during WWI. It appears the Grebsts travelled quite about between 1900-1920 as other passenger lists between San Francisco, Honolulu, Hong Kong, and Buenos Aries also exist, but oddly, the couple rarely travelled together, instead taking separate steamers and meeting at the destination location. There may be a story here, if time allowed additional research. We’ve included with the trunk some beautiful antique textiles most likely dating to the mid-late 1800s, of the highest quality. 4 pieces including silk drapes, a vividly colored tapestry with fringe edges (beautiful craftsmanship) and a nice example of late 1800 needlepoint probably intended as a chair cushion. These 4 beautiful, antique textiles are all high-end pieces that could only be afforded by the very wealthy at the time they were made.

Ono declined, but Lennon was game, and stripped down before getting on the floor near their bed and curling up in a fetal position next to the woman he called mother. I remember peeling the Polaroid and him looking at it and saying, “This is it. This is our relationship,” Leibovitz recalled. Hours later, Lennon was shot dead in front of the building.

68February 2022DAY 1 Thur, Feb 24 Miscellaneous Collectibles Lot# 1604 Bausch & Lomb Abbe Refractometer Bausch & Lomb Abbe Refractometer in original wooden case in working condition. A refractometer measures the ability of a liquid to bend (refract) light passing through it, which is related to how much material is dissolved in it. The device is built somewhat like a microscope, but the stage is made of two glass prisms with their hypotenuses facing each other. A drop of the liquid of interest flows into the tiny gap between the prisms, held there by capillary action. Light is directed from the mirror at the base into the lower prism, passes through the liquid and into the upper prism which directs the light into the eyepiece column. The operator then incrementally rotates the prism assembly to center the edge between dark and light fields in the view. The index value is then read through a small reticle on the curved scale at the back of the device. This is a piece of precision manufacturing, and for many years it was the mainstay for determining the proportion of materials dissolved in a liquid solvent, such as aqueous sugar solutions, oils, and even blood serum. The prism assembly is then easily opened to clean out the liquid and prepare for the next sample. The device is quick and precise to use.

Blakely, for 100 shares on November 8, 1866, signed by treasurer Wm. J. Osborne and president William Sias. 11 x 7.5 inches. Pink embossed seal attached in lower left. Some loss of the paper edges on the lower left and lower right. Signatures on the back have faded to near obscurity. Some darkening along the original folds, but otherwise an attractive piece. This stock issue was the brainchild of Julius Lewis Trefren, a New Hampshire-born pastor who came to Austin, Nevada, with the challenge of building a Methodist Church and finding a way to fund it. In 1866, Nevada was the talk of the States, and everyone had gold and silver fever. Those that couldn’t travel to the West to make their fortune sought to invest, so Pastor Trefren started the New England and Nevada Silver Mining Company. Those who bought the stock hoped for returns based on potential earnings of Austin’s silver claims. Trefren built the church from the proceeds, and what a church it turned out to be! At the time, only the Catholic Church in Virginia City was bigger, and his church installed what may have been the first church organ in Nevada. The building is still one of the state’s oldest surviving Methodist churches. But all was not as it seemed -- the company sold $250,000 in stock -- but only on paper! Shares had been sold on consignment at a time when the mining fervor in Austin had waned. The real sales were $29,000, and the cost of construction was $35,000. The congregation soon sold the building to Lander County for use as a court house, but eventually the members of the church raised the $6,000 and bought the building back. Three years later, Trefren was transferred to California where he preached in Napa, Sacramento, Grass Valley, Marysville, and other places.

Jacobs (as in Jacobsville) was the Indian agent and owned the overland stop for wagon trains and the overland mail. Bill Marley was the western agent for the overland mail and had a vested interest in these problems. Sho Keep is most likely Sho Kup.

Signed by secretary James H Kinkead and president BB Norton. Dateline Reno 1873. Incorporated Sept. 26, 1873. Mountain Mill vignette. Printed by Crocker & Co. Location: Peavine Mining District, Washoe County, Nevada. Paymaster Ledge 1500 feet and Poe Ledge 1500 feet. In 1875 the Con. Poe was all over the local papers. The Poe and Paymaster have been consolidated. A new furnace is being built. It is not easy working this rock on the account of antimony and iron. The Con. Poe is now at a depth of 175 feet. A few weeks later the paper reported that a rich strike was made at the mine. But despite the newspaper hype the mill ran sporadically that year. On July 4, 1876, the Sacramento Daily Union reported that the workmen of the Poe quit and are determined to remain off work until they are paid their 5 months back wages! That is the last we hear of this company. On June of 1874 Battersby failed to pay the assessment (No. 3) and was on the delinquent roll in the Nevada State Journal. It seems he got out early! Kinkead was a banker and sheriff. He was mostly responsible for the capture of the Verdi train robbers and for stopping all Central Pacific Railroad traffic in Reno (no easy task) until the CPRR paid new Washoe County taxes on their company.

Cedar Hill is the placer / quartz mining area at the northern outskirts of the town of Virginia City. On February 7, 1861 the Daily Alta California took special note of this company. It proposed to dig a tunnel 2,000 feet into the mountain which would arrive some 1,600 feet below the surface of the mines. That would allow for drainage and open up a great number of new leads. The tunnel is to be seven feet high and five feet in width. Hugh Shamberger in his work “The story of the water supply for the Comstock” notes that the tunnel was built to 2,000 feet, but with no indication of any success it was abandoned.

Very rare! Certificate No. 68. Dateline New York, October 18, 1868. Solomon Haas of New York is issued 85 shares. Signed by Adolph Sutro, Duly Authorized Agent of the Association known as the Sutro Tunnel Company. Sutro’s signature is pen cancelled but legible. Vignette upper left of miner with pick. US Internal Revenue adhesive stamp attached bottom left with Sutro cancellation. Discoloration, pin holes, and a 1 inch tear bottom left. Reverse is signed by Haas’ lawyer. Sutro first came up with the idea of the tunnel in 1860, got federal and state approval in 1865, and construction began in 1869. He envisioned the tunnel as taking care of the water problem that Comstock mining operations were encountering at depth. As Sutro said in his proposal, “the great obstacle to be encountered in mines is water; this is the fatal agent, which makes it only a question of time, when a mine will have to be abandoned, no matter how rich...” The tunnel was completed in 1878, too late to be of critical importance to the Comstock. Sutro sold his shares and moved to San Francisco, where he eventually became mayor. Includes background information, blank 187- Sutro Tunnel receipt for stock, and a copy of the Sutro Tunnel Plat Map.

Vanderburg (1940) mentioned that the Desert Queen Mine in this district may have been discovered by emigrants in 1849; if so, this district would be the site of the earliest mining activity in the state. This is a significant signature piece. Horace M. Vesey acquired the Vesey Hotel (currently the Gold Hill Hotel) in late 1862. The popular hotel became an important part of the thriving metropolis of Gold Hill, hosting many Comstock social events such as ìVesey’s Ball.”Miners from Gold Hill and Virginia City first assembled in front of the Vesey House on August 6, 1864, to adopt a constitution in the first attempt to organize a union in the West. Pease was “well known” on the Comstock for four decades. He also had a piece published in the Sagebrush Anthology by Berklove. This anthology celebrated a school of writing called the “Sagebrush School.” This term applied to a group of Nevada writers from the 1860’s to the early twentieth century.

They located a vein and traced it for three miles across the granite mountain. There the Goldfield Granite Mountain Mining Company was organized. The company had grand plans including an aerial tramway from the mine to Willow Springs where they would build a 10 stamp mill. The water at the springs was sufficient to provide for a small city. And so Meyer filed papers and on November 30, 1907 and was appointed as postmaster. Extensive research included with several copies of newspaper and magazine articles.
