Est. $800-1400 HWAC# 137434Lot# 2123 Gutzwa Relief Bronze Plaque of Charles Lindbergh Spectacular and magnificent large bronze medallic plaque celebrating Linburgh’s famous first flight across the Atlantic in 1927. Made by sculptor and painter Julius T. Gutzwa of Meridian, Connecticut. Gutzwa (c1891-1956) was a Polish immigrant who came to the US at the age of 15. His artistic talents soon came to the forefront, and he became known as a painter and sculptor. His most famous work was a large bronze statue of Polish General and Patriot Pulaski, completed in 1934. His murals are found in Hartford, Meridian and elsewhere in Ct. In 1933, Gutzwa was commissioned to paint a number of present and historical world figures, including Woodrow Wilson and George Washington. Even though Gutzwa was an exceptionally successful and well paid artist, his name does not appear among the many standard art reference works. Noted medallic historian Dick Johnson. long time curator of the Medallic Arts Co., noted one known Lindburg (note 2 different spellings) bronze plaque, which does not appear to be this piece. Johnson assigned a construction date of 1932, though we found no records on the web. Thus at present, there are two of these magnificent plaques known. 9 7/8” octagonal, two holes in upper panel for suspension. A third hole was considered and partially drilled at top center.

Ken Prag CollectionEst. $80-150 HWAC# 137106Lot# 2446 1938 Aviation Pioneer Postcards #8 - Douglas Corrigan - 1 Douglas Corrigan was an American aviator and aircraft mechanic who became famous for an unapproved flight from New York to Ireland in 1938. He had already made a transcontinental flight from Long Beach, California, to New York City and had filed a flight plan to return to Long Beach. However, he landed in County Dublin, Ireland after more than 28 hours in a $900 aircraft. This black and white postcard shows Corrigan standing with his arms folded beside his plane. Was he an aviation pioneer? Well, he accomplished by himself what Charles Lindberg had previous achieved with a first-rate airplane and significant financial backing. What Douglas Corrigan lacked in funding, he made up for in courage and cleverness. The press dubbed him “Wrong Way Corrigan,” because he never admitted to intentionally going to Ireland, but claimed that he had gone the wrong way on his trip back to Long Beach and had to tough it out once he realized his mistake.

Spiegel patented an advertising device in 1906 that used a transparent material with black, opaque vertical stripes and a sliding black and white image made up of thin black stripes that were alternately revealed and obscured by the striped overlay. As the lower image was slowly slid beneath the transparent grid, the image would appear to move. These soon appeared in postcards like this one of a cowboy on a horse.
