Great News! Please Note: We have been contacted by a figurehead Historian from England who provided additional information on this piece. She originally stood in the gardens of Wiltshire family home at Hayling Manor, Hayling Island near Portsmouth Hampshire United Kingdom, and is believed to have been taken from a German vessel lost off the coast and taken in to the grounds, (we have a b&w photo showing this Figurehead in the grounds and could date from the 1920’s-30’s, when it was possibly removed from the grounds). This Figurehead was at one time part of the Pierre Dassy Maritime Collection, built up over a number of years by the Belgian Industrialist Mr Maximillien Dassy, and may well have been one of the exhibits at the Royal Brussels Yacht Club, in its exhibition entitled “1000 Jaar Scheepvaart” 1000 years of Ship Art from the 19th July to the 15th September 1979. Upon the death of Mr Dassy parts of the collection came over to the United States of American for sale at the San Francisco Auction House of Butterfield and Butterfield, in its English, American and Continental Furniture and works of Art sale, on the 27th February 1985 as lot number 1261 and from then sold to the present owners. FINE CARVED SHIP’S FIGUREHEAD OF A YOUNG WOMAN.Mid 19th century, New England. This wonderful example, carved from the solid, dressed in period robe with elaborate head scarf and jeweled tiara. Her left arm out-stretched with open hand and with well defined facial features now decorated in later paint.

PLEASE NOTE: Comments made via email by foremost American flag expert and historian Steven Hill on Co. H, 92nd NY flag: “Painted by Thomas Savory of Boston. He did several for individual Mass regiments, and judging from painting style, also subcontracted through Charles Eaton on Mass state colors “made” by Eaton. Also did colors for Maine (check out their website) and NH and Vmt. No flags signed so far as I know, but newspaper accounts on several Mass regiments mention handsome colors done by Savory, and those non-standard flags are still in existence in Mass. Very interesting in that eagle’s vary greatly in size, many lap over one or more stars (as in this example). Stars apparently painted on in a rough circle prior to handing over to Savory, who then drew in eagle freehand, sometimes accidentally sizing it such that it ran over some stars. My favorite example is 13th Mass, two stars actually painted out with black paint and new stars of slightly different size and different paint jammed in wherever they would fit”. Few flags North or South can we ever identify to actual hand that painted them! CIVIL WAR BATTLE FLAG OF THE 92ND NEW YORK INFANTRY.This all silk hand sewn flag was the first flag of the Co. F, 92nd New York, measuring 50″ on hoist and 73″ on fly. The 92nd was organized January, 1862, in Potsdam, New York and this particular flag was presented at Camp Union, Jan. 10, 1862 to Capt. Orange Newton, then commander of Co. F by ladies of Stockholm, NY. The flag presentation was accompanied by a brass band and a speech of acceptance from Captain Newton thanking the ladies for this extraordinary flag that they had paid $80 to have painted. The 34 stars in canton represent the 34 states at this time. This flag is typical of early war presentation flags all silk with painted canton still retaining its red, white and blue pole ties. Company “F” of the 92nd no doubt carried this flag in the early part of war through the Manassas Campaign and the Peninsula Campaign. It saw its first action in the battle of Williamsburg. Early in 1863 after one year in service they were involved in the battles of Kinston, White Hall and Goldsboro, N.C. In March of ’63 the regiment occupied a fort on the Neuse River near Newbern, N.C. and named it Fort Anderson in recognition of their commanding officer. Here they were in command of several large cannon. The fort was attacked by 7,000 Confederates under Confederate General Pettigrew. The 92nd survived the attack and stayed on for another year, losing many men to disease in the southern swamps. Capt. Benjamin H. Webster who’s name is inked on hoist, “B.H. Webster Pembina, ND” left service and must have brought flag home during Ft. Anderson campaign. In a document of the Assembly of New York a national flag with the name of regiment “Excelsior Rifle Battalion” was returned by the regiment May 11th, 1864. “The flag was used by the regiment until it was so torn by bullets that it could not be unfurled.” This is not the regulation silk flag they speak of, however, that same legend “Excelsior Rifle Battalion” would fit on this ribbon and few letters that remain do fit this name, though, according to the restorer they didn’t know where the letters went and they were reversed. Benjamin H. Webster entered the 92nd as an original lieutenant in company “F”, he was discharged in January, 1863 as Captain, and must have retained possession of this flag. He later moved from Stockholm NY to Dakota Territory where he later died in Pembina, ND. This no doubt was the flag originally presented January 10th, 1862, to Captain Orange Newton and retained by later Captain Benjamin H Webster. This is the only surviving flag of the 92nd, though newspaper accounts speak of this presentation and the regimental presentation flag which others are unaccounted for. SIZE: Frame is 80″ h x 57″ w. PROVENANCE: January 10th, 1862 presented by the Ladies of Stockholm to Captain Orange Newton, Company “F”, 92nd N.Y. at Camp Union; Captain Benjamin H. Webster, Company “F” 92nd New York, 1862-1863; Purchased in Western flea market, circa 1980, then by current owner in 2015; Conservation University of Denver, Conservation Center, 1987. CONDITION: Red and white stripes are fairly intact, though red has faded to pale pink. Blue canton still retains good color as can be seen in photo’s with reductions of about 75% of the painted areas, though they have been backed by the conservator. The red ribbon also is missing its motto. Flag is well conserved and is pressure mounted with backing and plexiglass. Conservation report is available. Conservation was done at the Rocky Mountain Conservation Center at the University of Denver in 1987. Inked inscription on hoist is easily discerned. 50696-1 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2130 |

These were not cataloged until late (just before catalog production) by a non-decoy specialist. When Mr. Julia returned to the office he saw them and immediately recognized them as silhouettes produced by Elmer Crowell. The entire collection came from one house and were originally cataloged to be sold as an entire lot and this is the way they will be sold. This will certainly be an interesting lot. Please see detailed photographs on our website showing both front & back of each of the silhouettes. Please note that most of them have their original carrying holes and many with their old & probably original sticks.
