104. SILVER EAGLE HEAD CANE -CA.
104. SILVER EAGLE HEAD CANE -CA. 1910 -SUBSTANTIAL, FIG...104. Silver Eagle Head Cane -Ca. 1910 -Substantial, figural eagle head handle modeled with striking stylized, features including a longer beak and thunder like decoration in clean lines which all hint to a developing Art Deco taste. Stepped partridge shaft and a metal ferrule. Praised by age and careful use, this cane is authenticated German with the struck national silver Reichsmark of a “Crescent Moon & Crown” representing the entire German state in conjunction with an “800” decimal silver standard marks. -Many silver handles of this type were done by Tiffany & Co. NY and are known under the name “Tiffany Nast Eagle”. The American eagle was a popular motif in the 19th century States especially during periods of high patriotic zeal. However, this walking cane may not have been meant to be patriotic, as for sailors the eagle held a different symbolic importance. As even the oldest birds continually renew their feathers, they were believed to be symbolic of eternal life and eternal love. -H. 4 ¼” x 2 ¾”, O.L. 34 ¼” -$600-800

CHRIS CALLE (B. 1961) "WOOD
CHRIS CALLE (B. 1961) "WOOD CARVINGS"Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Wood Carvings of the American Eagle" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 23c Flag Pre-sorted First Class Coil stamp issue of September 27, 1991.
Throughout the history of the United States, many images have come to symbolize the ideals of the nation. But since the nation's history began, the American flag and the Bald Eagle have been held in reverence as the very essence of the nation. America's first national flag was raised on a hill near Boston on January 4, 1776, by the troops of General George Washington. It was named the Grand Union Flag, and bore thirteen red and blue stripes. It also displayed the crosses of St. Andrew and St. George -- symbols of America's British heritage. It was only after the Declaration of Independence was signed that Americans chose a flag of their own. Through the years, the design of the flag retained many of its original symbols while abandoning others. In 1818, the American flag was officially returned to its original thirteen stripes, with but a single star to be added upon the field of blue for each new state. The Bald Eagle, too, is symbolic of the mighty, peaceloving nation. For example, on June 20, 1782, the infant American government adopted The Great Seal of the United States. An image of the nation's independence and equality, the Seal bears the figure of an Eagle, chosen to grace the Seal for its self-reliance and proud bearing.

NEWELL CONVERS (NC) WYETH, AMERICAN
NEWELL CONVERS (NC) WYETH, AMERICAN (1882-1945), N.C. WYETH AND HIS GRANDSON, EXHIBITION POSTER, 23 1/2"H X 19 1/4"W, 25 1/4"H X 21 1/4"W (FRAME)Newell Convers (NC) Wyeth, American, (1882-1945) N.C. Wyeth and His Grandson, exhibition poster Signed lower right by Jamie Wyeth. A Legacy, Terra Museum of American Art, Chicago. Biography from the Archives of askART: The following is from The New York Times online edition, 1/25/2001: N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945), America's greatest illustrator as well as an accomplished easel painter, dedicated his career to depicting American subjects in a fresh, energetic manner uninfluenced by European art - "true, solid American subjects - nothing foreign about them," as he put it in 1903. Reflecting times in which unconditional loyalty to country was taken for granted and the American flag was a sacred symbol of freedom, N.C. executed works that encapsulated those very American qualities. As television anchorman Tom Brokaw points out in his catalogue essay, the patriarch of the Wyeth clan "was a man of the first half of the century, roughly from Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, when Americans seemed to be framed in red, white and blue bunting and the background music was "Yankee Doodle Dandy" or Kate Smith singing "God Bless America". N.C.'s lifelong veneration for America's historical traditions, growing out of his New England heritage and strengthened by his Chadds Ford residency in the history-rich Brandywine Valley, manifested itself in idealized, heroic images of such larger-than-life personalities as Paul Revere, George Washington, Nathan Hale, Thomas Jefferson, John Paul Jones and Abraham Lincoln. He painted stalwart views of Stonewall Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant and action-packed renditions of Civil War combat, suggesting valor and patriotism on both sides. Commissioned by the government during World War I to create recruiting and propaganda posters, Wyeth had an output that ranged from images of brave doughboys helping their wounded mates, in "WWI Poster" (1918), to dramatic paintings of terrified Huns surrendering to gun-toting American infantrymen in Kamerad! (1919). Along with other Americans, N.C. was horrified by stories of atrocities committed by the German Army. He responded with vivid, impassioned images, such as "The Abdication of Attila" (1917), done for Life magazine, that suggested that Kaiser Wilhelm had outstripped the infamous Attila the Hun as the epitome of "supreme evil" and the "arch-tyrant" of history. Pondering an offer from the War Department to become an official artist at the Western Front, Wyeth remarked, "I wouldn't mind a crack at a Boche or two, and would be tickled to death if I could disembowel their divine leader...." Responding with equal patriotic fervor to the challenge of World War II, Wyeth underscored the determination of Uncle Sam and our citizen army in Amateurs at War: The American Soldier in Action (1943) and the heroism of GIs in the Pacific in Marines Landing on the Beach (1944). He recognized the contributions of farmers to the Allied effort in Soldiers of the Soil (1942), an illustration for a Brown and Bigelow calendar, and in another calendar work, Our Emblem (1944), reflected the symbolism of the American eagle protecting a tranquil New England hamlet. Wyeth's colorful Buy War Bonds (1942), featuring an assertive Uncle Sam clutching Old Glory and urging on planes overhead and infantrymen on the ground, helped the Treasury Department sell a lot of bonds to back the war effort. One poster sold $200,000 worth of bonds, while another took in $1 million, according to Wyeth biographer David Michaelis. In a tempera-on-panel, The War Letter (1941) he depicted his parents on the bucolic grounds of their home in Needham, Mass. As his mother reads a letter from the morning mail and a newspaper describing overseas developments lies next to her, his father looks on. It is a poignant vignette reflecting keen home front concern about unfolding wartime events. To N.C. Wyeth, the choice between good and evil, freedom and tyranny in both World Wars was clear. His characteristically bold, forceful images, imbued with old-fashioned patriotism, helped spur an embattled America on to victory in both conflicts. exhibition poster Dimensions: 23 1/2"H x 19 1/4"W, 25 1/4"H x 21 1/4"W (frame)
