Van Antwerp and Adjutant General RB Handy Jr. Gold seal with ribbon and logo with shield bookended by American flags. Printed by Ortmann Engraving Co.

White writing at the bottom says “Veterans of Foreign Wars of USA, De Clan Harton Commander.” 8 x 9.5” Two damaged corners. It is unclear if Charles Gavin, who the certificate is issued to, is one of the 7 in the photo (the people are not identified). We looked and his name does not appear related to the USS Maine (or the Rough Riders), so we’re assuming he received the certificate for service in WWI. Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) was first founded by James C. Putnam on September 29, 1899, and then was congressionally chartered in 1936 under the Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The purpose of the VFW is to speed rehabilitation of the nation’s disabled and needy veterans, assist veterans’ widows and orphans and the dependents of needy or disabled veterans, and promote Americanism by means of education in patriotism and by constructive service to local communities.

Est. $3000-4000 HWAC# 157564Lot# 2181Tranter Double Action Revolver 3rd Model Fully Cased This Civil War era revolver is a British made Tranter revolver. S/N 12365T is silver plated and engraved in .44 cal. with a 6 in barrel. This low serial number indicates an early production of this gun for export, most notable Tranters have been observed in the 15,xxx range. A boxed set of accessories includes: a tin of bullets, a tin of Tranter lubricant, an oiler, a Hawksley powder flask, nipple wrench, a cleaning rod and bullet puller, a Tranter bullet mold #54, an Eley Bros. percussion cap tin specifically marked for the Tranter revolver. The case is of walnut and green felt, partitioned for all accessories with a box for the key. This revolver is British proof marked with a crown at each of five cylinders which is standard for British proofing. This is the third model Tranter of 1856 that is double action. It has two triggers, one trigger below the guard rotates the cylinder and cocks the hammer. The second trigger inside the guard is used to release the sear and hammer. This gun appears loose until the hammer comes to full cock and the cylinder locks up, unlike most American made firearms. At this period in history, Colt Patent Firearms Co. has the single action revolver system sewed-up with patent rights. Tranter revolvers were imported via Hyde and Griswold of New Orleans before the Civil War and with Thomas, Griswold & Co. during the war. Importers would have to run a blockade to get these guns to American shores. J.E.B. Stuart had one as well as other notable Confederates. This gun sold for $220 during the war while a Colt 1860 Army cost about $23 at the same time. A very rare gun in rare excellent condition with about 85% finish intact and a mint fresh bore. The case is also in fine condition. This gun is an antique and no attempt has been made to fire this gun to confirm its mechanical integrity.

Natural Clear Quartz Crystal Obelisks w/silvery gray and yellow- gold rutile present. Natural growth of six-sided crystals with the smaller of the two large obelisks double terminated. Rainbow quartz is visible in the wand points of the two large obelisks. This naturally formed, large quartz specimen grew in a cluster of 4-5 different points of various sizes. Originally it had 3 very large points, but the third large point broke off. The other two smaller points grew horizontally near the base. The smaller of the two large points is double terminated with the bottom point seated in the custom made wood base. The specimen is perfectly and securely seated in a custom wood base carved to fit the bottom point of the smaller obelisk and the horizontal crystal growth at base of large obelisk. The rutile near the bottom of the specimen is mostly silvery gray in color, although there is also a yellow-gold (probably copper) mineral inclusion that is more subtle, visible on the reverse lower half of the obelisks. The Crystals without base weigh approximately 11 lbs and measure about 15.5” from the tallest point of the larger obelisk to the bottom point of the smaller obelisk, about 5.5” x 5.5” at the widest part of the stones. The height of the display specimen with the base is approx. 16.5” Shi Ying is the Chinese name for clear quartz crystal, and translates “outstanding stone.” It is believed to have the capacity to potentiate the energy and properties of other stones.

In 1881, it was reported that the Orphan Boy and another lode, the War Eagle, had produced $500,000 worth of silver in just four years of operations. Yield ended up being $7 million (not adjusted for inflation). James Moynahan was a Union Army veteran, Colorado State Senator, and mayor of Alma (3 times). This company is not listed in C&L (as it was organized in 1885).
