The partnership with Bodemer ended in February 1865. He then partnered with Jacob Mayer. Their partnership ended in July 1871. Past that point, Schweis operated the brewery alone. In 1873, he bought a bagatelle table (a billiards-derived indoor table game,) for the brewery, the first in Nevada (Gold Hill Daily News, July 30th, 1873). The brewery is mentioned in numerous articles in the 1860s and 1870s, and appears to have been a well-liked establishment. Schweis died in April 1893. Est. $800-1200 HWAC# 134303

(Arizona did not become a state until 1912).This extremely rare Tombstone City License, is dated Feb. 1, 1898, and it reads // Received from Amelia / Four dollars / for License on the business of / Ill Fame / for the / month ending Feb 28th, 1898 /. It is signed by James F. Duncan, City Clerk, and A.H. Emanuel, mayor.The license number in the upper left corner is 724, originally written in red ink but now significantly faded. The Emanuel signature is by rubber stamp, now also significantly faded. Professional document mounts have yellowed with age.We carefully opened the back to examine the license document separate from the mounts. The reverse has been photographed. It is absolutely original, with a vertical fold line with dirty hand oil along the upper portions, with ìAmeliaî at the top, second line ìdelinquent,î and the third line the date of Feb. 28, 1898. This is exactly the style of a period piece, whether license or billhead, folded vertically for filing.We also carefully removed the CDV from its mounts. The reverse has ìAmelia Corsterî written lightly in pencil. The photographer is nowhere noted, and no one by her name was found in a search of the contemporary census. Close-up examination of the obverse yields small foxing on the lower surface. Of particular note in the photo is Amelia’s clothing -- a black choker collar and white lace, draped at the shoulders, revealing her full neck and nearly bare shoulders. It has been suggested by several authors that white was a normal color for prostitutes, particularly along with the black collar, suggestive of fancy undergarments. In contrast, most early photos of actresses show darker colored clothing.Information on early twentieth century prostitutes in the American West is scarce. While the trade was common in theìwild westî days -- well illustrated by Rosa Mae of Virginia City in the 1860s and Big Nose Kate in the 1880s -- information on the post-1900 brothel business is greatly lacking. Every major mining camp had brothels -- Goldfield, Reno, Virginia City, Tucson, Tombstone, Bisbee -- and most were well organized.This lack of information suggests that the oldest business in the world was generally regarded as acceptable -- and it was back in that day. While it remained ìhush hushî with little to no advertising, the prostitution business flourished until Prohibition interests drove it out of American business circles.It was so ìhush- hush,î that major author-historians such as Sam Davis, who wrote the History of Nevada published in 1912, does not mention the subject of prostitution, and that word (as well as brothel) does not occur in the newly published index.So, this lot is an extraordinarily fine and exceedingly rare piece of historical evidence of what was once a prevalent but obscured business throughout the American West. It is beautifully matted with gold-rimmed frames inside the cutouts, giving the items the illusion of floating within the openings. The gold-toned frame is approx 14 x 17 inches, the license itself is about 7 x 4 inches, and Amelia’s photo is about 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 inches. The back paper has been carefully sliced open to conduct the research described here. It can be easily replaced. Est. $3750-10000 HWAC# 135881Register, Bid, & view opening bids atFHWAC.com

Significant of Georgia s rehabilitation from the ravages of Civil war was an event which occurred during Governor Colquitt s administration the great International Cotton Exposition of 1881. For a city of only 50,000 inhabitants to inaugurate the first world’s fair ever held in the South and to carry forward such an enterprise to a most successful climax is an achievement little short of miraculous especially when remember that only sixteen short years before this time Atlanta was a mass of smoldering ruins in the wake of Sherman s destructive march to the sea.

Ken Prag CollectionEst. $70-150 HWAC# 123227Lot# 4060 Cobb County, Georgia 1857, 1875, 1899 Three Deeds for the same Property in Cobb County This file of deeds well illustrates the title problems of the South. Record keeping was problematic, and a systematic approach was not universal from county to county, and each county recorder started the records in their own way. As a place on the developing frontier, it is easy to see how and why the records were not regularly kept. The need for specific title was not as exact and necessary as it is today. The various county court houses needed to develop their own methods by trial and error. In deed and property research, not all deeds are or were recorded. The necessity of this is a desire and requirement of modern thought. Thus this file, for property in Cobb County, includes a deed executed (fully signed by both parties) in 1876 but not filed with the county until 1947, as reflected on the face of the document. It was not unusual for original deeds such as this to stay with the property owners, turned over to the next owner only after a sale. In this case, the parcel may have been held for a lengthy time in the same family, resulting in formal document transfer nearly a century later. Rarely did these documents last, subject to weather, fires, mold, mice and other critters. This file contains three deeds for the same property. These deeds are for lot 547 in the 19th District, Second Section in Cobb County. They are dated 1857, 1875 and 1899. They may be the only formal record extant of this portion of the parcelís title.

Ward. “Built in 1866 in East Boston, the Morning Star was the product of a remarkable collaborative endeavor. At a time when missionary activity was reaching a peak of fervor, the ship was financed by the sales of thousands of “shares” in the vessel bought by individual donors hoping to contribute to the efforts. Contributions poured in from church groups throughout the country, as many Americans hoped to take part symbolically in the missionary work. The Morning Star was built for missionaries working in the Hawaiian Islands, and a majority of the shares were purchased by Hawaiians, many of them children. The ship departed from Boston for its first journey under Captain Hiram Bingham, Jr., on November 13, 1866. When it reached Honolulu on March 15, 1867, “2,000 Hawaiian Sunday School children marched to the wharf to see ‘their ship’”, showing clearly that the Morning Star had become a source of civic pride.” [Arader Galleries] Ward was Treasurer of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.

Boston, Massachusetts Printed by Adams, Rhodes & Co. Publishers of the Laws of the United States. The Independent Chronicle originated in 1768 as The Essex Gazette in Salem, and The New-England Chronicle in Cambridge, before settling in 1776 in Boston as The Independent Chronicle. Publishers included Edward E. Powars, Nathaniel Willis, and Adams & Rhoades; and for some time it operated from offices on Court Street formerly occupied by James Franklin. The highly political newspaper was considered one of the principal republican papers in the state. After 1840 the paper continued as the Boston Semi-weekly Advertiser published by Nathan Hale. This copy is signed on the top of the first page by E Smith, possibly Elias Smith from Salem, a man known for the rise of religious journalism in the early Republic. Nathan O. Hatch refers to Elias Smith in his book, The Democratization of American Christianity, as “...a central figure in the reform movement...” and states, “There were few characters in Jeffersonian America more inherently interesting than Elias Smith, a man of egalitarian passion and unremitting energy....” who ...”fell under the influence of radical Jeffersonian Publicist, Benjamin Austin Jr.”. He goes on to reference how Smith began to translate the sovereignty of the people to the sphere of religion and quotes Elias Smith’s 1809 declaration, “Let us be Republicans indeed!”. In his book, Republic of Righteousness: The Public Christianity of the Post-Revolutionary New England Clergy, Jonathan D Sassi references “...Benjamin Austin’s Independent Chronicle, a Boston newspaper of Jeffersonian bent, politicized two ordinary men, William Manning and Elias Smith...” In the book the Stone-Campbell Movement: An International Religious Tradition, edited by Michael W. Casey, Douglas Allen Foster, Elias Smith is describes for his Republican fervor as gleaned from his numerous political letters published in the Independent Chronicle. Because of this and additional research, we believe that the autograph on the top of this newspaper belongs to Elias Smith. 2) Friday, July 27th, 1810 National Intelligencer Washington Advertiser, Volume X (10) No. 1518, Washington City, Printed by Samuel Harrison Smith, Pennsylvania Avenue. Topics in this paper include U.S. War Ships, Emperor Napoleon’s remarks on the U.S. ban on French shipping, and slave advertisements. Publisher, Samuel Harrison Smith was a close friend, confidant and counselor Thomas Jefferson. He founded the National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser at Washington in 1800, which dominated the news circuit in the Capital. In 1801 he published Jefferson’s Manual of Parliamentary Practice for the Use of the Senate of the United States”. In 1813, Smith was appointed Commissioner of the Revenue for the United States Treasury Department by President Madison and in 1814 he was appointed as Secretary of the Treasury, ad interim. Between 1809 and 1835, Smith also served as the President of Bank of Washington and then the U.S. Bank until it was abolished.

These artifacts have no known provenance but strongly resemble pre-columbian Mayan anthropomorphic figures known to be found in ancient burial sites near Chihuhua, Mexico in the Copper Canyon region, dating back around 1,500 years. The crudely formed heads were clearly sculpted without the use of molds and are remarkably similar to the Tlatico figurines found in central Mexico that date back before the Aztec Empire. The Tlatico sculptors paid close attention to the hairstyle or headdress on clay figurines, which resembles these heads, as they each have a distinctive “do”. Further research and expert authentication is warranted for this very interesting lot of possibly very ancient, collectible South American clay artifacts.
