Est. $60-120 HWAC#131125Lot# 1521 Goldfield, Nevada 1906 Gans-Nelson Fight Film Reproduction This is a the only known film footage of the reproduction of the boxing match between Oscar Nielson (Battling Nelson) and Joe Gans that took place on Labor Day, September 3, 1906 in Goldfield, Nevada. The film was produced by Siegmund Lubin of the Philadelphia based Lubin Manufacturing Company. Even though he produced comedies and documentary type films, such as showing preparations for the Spanish American War, his staple was the re-creation of the biggest boxing matches of the era. Among the fight ìReproductionsî that Lubinís company filmed, beginning in 1897, were Corbett-Fitzsimmons, Fitzsimmons-Jeffries, Nelson-Britt and several more, beginning in 1897. What makes this particular film stand out is that, according to the Internet Movie Data Base, this title does not exist among Lubinís credits. A check with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Film Preservation, also fails to turn up the title among Lubinís productions. This reel contains 1,250 feet of film, making this copy about 22 minutes in length, which obviously means that Lubin was only re-enacting highlights of the 47 round fight. This fight is often placed in the top 10 of all time by several boxing analysts. One very important thing to realize about this film stock, is that because itís pre-1950s, it is printed on nitrate stock and extremely flammable. Itís because of this, that we require that this item be picked up at the Holabird-Kagin office in Reno or that the winner of the lot make the required shipping arrangements, including the expense.

Punch cancelled signatures, but Gould’s signature is almost completely unaffected. Green border, black print, and livestock vignette. ABN. 7.75 x 11.25” Pinholes, folds, toning. Jay Gould (1836-1892) is known as one of the “robber barons” of the Gilded Age. His career in railroad and stock speculation began in 1859. Gould & Fisk were also implicit in what is known as Black Friday (1869). Their plan was to buy enough gold to drive the price of gold way up, then forcing wheat farmers to sell their supply which would provide increased freight service for Gould’s Eastern railroads. Gould even used President Ulysses S. Grant’s brother-in-law, Abel Corbin, to try and influence Grant and his cabinet. When the premium over face value on a gold Double Eagle fell from 62 percent to 35 percent, it caused a panic in the financial markets (Black Friday). While Gould & Fisk made a small amount of money from the deal, Gould eventually lost it with lawsuits and the scandal tarnished his image with the public. After leaving the Erie Railway, Gould turned his eye toward Western railways. He took control of Union Pacific in 1873, and was also involved in the Missouri Pacific Railroad and Western Union, greatly increasing his wealth. He died in 1892 from tuberculosis.

Endorsed on the reverse. 5 cent adhesive revenue stamp attached at bottom left. Heavy toning, creases, tears along edges, pinholes, some fading of the ink. Approx. 9 x 11.5” Near the close of the Civil War, Merchants Union Express was created specifically to compete with American Express and the Wells-Fargo-Butterfield-Livingston business family. The Merchants Union Express raised Cain with American Express. In a swift corporate move, American Express increased their capital stock to 18,000 shares on May 1, 1866, still with Wells, Fargo and Holland at the helm. This increase in capital would allow the Company the freedom to buy other express, steamship or rail lines to strengthen their hold on a monopoly of the express business east of the Missouri River. The prospect of purchasing the Merchants Union Express was a long one. Finally, Capital Stock was issued and the companies merged November 25, 1868, allowing for a new company to emerge, The American Merchants Union Express Company.

Stock certificates issued and used through the 1854-1859 period evidence three different printed and several different signature varieties, which allows for advanced collectors to acquire rarities. All of these certificates carry the ìCapital Stock 7,500 sharesî designation at the far left of the certificate in big bold print. During this period, Henry Wells did not sign all the certificates as president, and instead John Butterfield signed in his stead as Vice President from about August 1 to about the 20th of December, 1859. The last ten days or so of the Company, Wells continued to sign the newly issued certificates. The very last group of certificates from December appear to reflect last-minute trading before the company was sold to the shareholders. The 1854-1859 period for American Express was anything but calm. With an explosion of the express business caused by not only the fast development of inter-state railroad development east of the Missouri River, but more importantly by the extreme amount of business generated by the California Gold Rush.

Huntington helped lead and develop other major interstate lines, such as the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O), which he was recruited to help complete. Huntington incorporated the Newport News & Mississippi Valley Company to build a railroad through Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, via Louisville and Memphis, in Mississippi and Louisiana, to meet his Southern Pacific ìSunset Routeî at New Orleans, on the Mississippi River.

Both in fine condition with slight folds, some staining and very little wear. The Buffalo Lithia Springs were first brought to the attention of Colonel William Byrd by Native Americans in 1726 while he was surveying the boundary between Virginia and Carolina. Byrd called the site “Buffalo Springs”, because when they arrived, they killed a local buffalo for food, which was drinking from one of the springs. The healing waters of Buffalo Lithia Springs were attracting visitors as early as 1790. Notable guests from this period were President Thomas Jefferson, General Winfield Scott, and General Santa Anna. By the 1800s it had become a popular resort. Thomas F. Goode, a former Colonel in the 3rd Virginia Cavalry, purchased the resort in 1874. Under his proprietorship the Springs achieved their greatest success, both as a destination and through the bottling of the Buffalo Lithia Water, which was sold in London, Paris and Havana. Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, widow of Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, was a guest during the Springs’ “heyday”, spending much of the 1899 season there. By the 1930s mineral water was no longer prescribed by physicians, and the resort/spa closed due to declining profits.

Incorporated in Nevada in 1933 with the end of Prohibition and the company no longer had to rely on their Ginger Ale. We believe this is an Ohio piece - probably Dayton. Using Google and Newspapers.com, the closest we could find to this name in 1933 was a brewery in Ohio stared by August Wagner (as in the owner of the stock). Like many other brewers, August Wagner immigrated from Germany in the late 1800s. He started the Gambrinus Brewing and Bottling Company in 1906. The company survived Prohibition under the name of “The August Wagner and Sons Products Company, Incorporated.” Beer production resumed in 1933 following the repeal of Prohibition and the company was renamed “The August Wagner and Sons Brewing Company.” Est. $100-200 HWAC# 123252Lot# 2084 Erie, Pennsylvania 1937 Wayne Brewing Company Stock - Post Prohibition Certificate Number 1874 for 100 shares.

The Birth of a Race was envisioned as an “answer” to D.W. Griffith’s racist and inflammatory film, The Birth of a Nation. The idea of of the screenplay came from the biography of Booker T. Washington, Unfortunately, due to cost overruns, mismanagement and the strings that came attached with white money, the film failed to achieve its original goals. The result was a film that was hardly about African-Americans at all, but about the struggle of white immigrants in this country. It was a failed attempt to counteract the damage that The Birth of a Nation caused to the image of the African-American. Even with its many shortcomings from both a technical as well as artistic standpoint, The Birth of a Race at least demonstrated that motion pictures were indeed a medium to be reckoned with that has an enormous capability to influence a large number of people.

Red, blue and brown logo vignette. Green border, seal circle and underprint. Signed by president Maurice Falk. Folds. Over all very nice! “In 1919, the Falk Brothers established the Falk American Potato Flour Corporation, which claimed to have built the first potato-flour mill in the United States. The business emerged from federal government research into food dehydration during World War I, research that sought ways to maximize the national food supply by preventing waste of surplus crops. With the slogan ìThe Baking Aid that Nature Made,î the company promoted potato flour as a ìbread improverî and hired a sales force of bakers to travel the country offering demonstrations to bakeries. By 1921, the Falk American Potato Flour Company oversaw a six-state business from offices in Pittsburgh. They owned five of the nine potato-flour mills in operation in the United States and had invested more than $1 million in the industry.” [jewishfamalieshistory.org] Ken Prag CollectionEst. $40-100 HWAC# 123416Lot# 2140 Takoma Park, Washington, D.C. 1902-1930 Ice and Ice Cream Company Stock Certificates Collection of four stock certs dealing with ice cream and ice.

The company operated gold, silver and copper mines in Arizona. Specie basis refers to an antiquated monetary payment methodology revolving around gold and silver, which were called specie. Although unlisted in J.Ross Brown in 1868, there is a strong possibility that this company is directly related to the Specie Pay mine. In 1882, Burchard reported the Specie Pay mine was driving a new ore tunnel in 1881 averaging $42 per ton. It had apparently been reactivated after some time of dormancy. Hamilton, in 1884 cited this mine as the key mine in the district along with the Alice mine. The ore was reported to run $30 per ton, and a mill was erected on the Alice about 1882, producing pay ore on a regular basis. Burchard had noted that the district was in desperate need of a custom mill, and the Alice mill must have been a welcome addition after years of prospecting with no local reduction works. The district is about 15 miles northeast of Florence in central Arizona. The chances of the Specie Basis Mining Co and a Specie Pay mine being related are extremely high. These are uncommon terms not used haphazardly. The bond is VF and there are 15 warrant coupons at the bottom. Est. $150-400 HWAC# 111875

Green ink on orange paper. Extremely rare. In 1885, Emma Eels of Calistoga, CA discovered clay on her property that was free of grit and smoothness yet left a powdery residue. Brushing the residue from her hands, she saw the powder had readily polished her wedding ring. Taking more pieces of this substance into her kitchen, she attempted to clean and polish her silver, glass and jewelry. Everything glistened immediately. She then tried scouring the counters and floors and found this clay had removed all dirt and stains easily. Even though Eels was very excited by her discovery, as were the many lady friends with whom she shared her discovery, she was in mourning over the untimely death of her husband, the Rev. James Eels.With seven of the women closest to her, Emma Eels established and incorporated the Callustro Co. for the manufacturing and marketing of ìthe greatest cleaning preparation in the world.î Mining began and a large three-story mill was built on her property. Enough initial shares were sold at $1 apiece to put $100,000 into their treasury. Even though she and her partners had not yet developed a plan to pay dividends to the stockholders, Callustro (ìCalî for Calistoga and ìlustroî for luster) was launched. The raw substance was mined, delivered by wagon loads and dumped into the top floor where a brick furnace was used for drying. It was then passed along to a crusher, which had a capacity of 1 1/2 tons per hour, descending to a second-floor pulverizer, then down to a worm conveyance system to separate the powder into four grades ó from very fine for polishing powder to coarse for use as a degreasing soap for mechanics. The final product was then packaged and labeled for shipment.

David Dunbar Buick (September 17, 1854 ñ March 5, 1929) was a Scottish-born American Detroit-based inventor, best known for founding the Buick Motor Company. He headed this company and its predecessor from 1899 until 1906, thereby helping to create one of the most successful nameplates in United States motor vehicle history. Unfortunately, Buick wasn’t president of the oil company by 1912, so he doesn’t sign here. Signed by J.B. Lehigh as vice-president.

In 1923, the Long Beach field produced 68 million barrels of oil. In 1924, Signal Hill became one of the first cities in the United States to be completely surrounded by another city (Long Beach). There were so many oil derricks in Signal Hill, that it became known as Porcupine Hill. By the 2000’s, the Signal Hill field had produced over 1 Billion barrels of oil.

The Sinclair domain was now four times the size of the original company (sinclairoil.com). In the 1920’s, the company introduced the first high octane gasoline (premium). Advertising writers first introduced Sinclairís famous green Dino in 1930, to promote Wellsville-refined lubricants ñ derived from Pennsylvania grade crudes laid down during the Mesozoic Era, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Sinclair acquired the refinery in Parco, Wyoming, during the Depression. On Jan. 1, 1942, the town population voted to change its name to Sinclair, and to this day, the town retains its name and Sinclair still runs the refinery.
