• (6) WOODY CRUMBO (NATIVE AMERICAN, NEW
  (6) WOODY CRUMBO (NATIVE AMERICAN, NEW MEXICO, 1912-1989) ETCHINGS Etchings, each pencil signed. Woody Crumbo was an artist, Native American flute player, and dancer who lived and worked mostly in the West of the United States. He attended government schools as a child and showed such promise that he received a scholarship to the American Indian Institute in Wichita for his last two years of high school. While at the Institute, he became interested in expressing Indian tradition and culture through his art. At the early age of 21, Crumbo was appointed Director of Indian Art at Bacone College, the only institute of higher learning exclusively for Indians. Bacone offered Crumbo the unique opportunity to familiarize himself with his heritage and to instill in him cultural pride. At that time he conducted research into Indian design and revived ancient techniques of silverwork, vegetable dying, and weaving. A Pottawatomie Indian, Crumbo explores in his art the traditions and ceremonies of his own tribe as well as those of the Creek, Sioux, and Kiowa nations. Crumbo works in oil and egg tempera, as well as in watercolor, sculpture, stained glass, and silkscreen. Under the guidance of Olle Nordmark, he also learned etching. The largest collection of Crumbo's work, about 175 paintings, is owned by the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, although his work has been exhibited in many museums throughout the United States.

The United States Federal Census of 1910 records that Leff worked as the proprietor of a laundry, and throughout the 1910s, frequent advertisements for Passaic Home Laundry appeared in the Passaic Daily News. On March 23, 1916, the paper reports that a Mrs. Rose Goldblack won a suit for $46 against the laundry company, claiming that her clothes became discolored upon their return. Further, on February 20, 1917, The Morning Call of Paterson County covered an incident involving a coal wagon, in which a team of horses belonging to the Passaic Home Laundry and driven by a George Leff, became frightened by a passing freight train and crashed into the wagon. Perhaps in light of these incidents, David Leff's professional endeavors had shifted by 1920, by which time he was working as a jeweler. Leff died of coronary thrombosis on March 25, 1937, Property from the Collection of James Carpenter, Montague, New Jersey

• A Patriotic Porcelain Shaving Mug Depicting

Mississippi in gilt lettering, and depicting the lead naval battleship in the Mississippi class between two American flags.underside marked Bavaria and signed C.P. Haim.Height 3 3/4 inches.

She was purchased shortly thereafter by Greece in July 1914 and renamed Kilkis, becoming the flagship of the Greek fleet amidst the country's naval arms race with the Ottoman Empire. U.S. Army Transfer Service Documents recording the arrivals and departures of enlisted men between 1910 and 1939 indicate that M. Fogelson may refer to Michel Fogelson (1892-1963), or possibly his brother Mair Fogelson, both Russian or Polish immigrants who came to the United States in the early twentieth century and served in the Navy during World War I. According to Military Naturalization Petitions, Fogelson took the Oath of Allegiance on June 28, 1918, in Washington, DC, and was aboard the President Grant with Co. L, 50th Infantry by 1919.
