1PP - GENERAL GEORGE CUSTER ORIGINAL PEN & INK ARTWORK BY V. FLOYD
CAMPBELL AND USED IN THE BOOK "CIVIL WAR ECHOES" This item was
something my husband Dale Anderson purchased many years ago and we eventually
used it for the front cover of our 1985 Wild West Auction, featuring many items
from Dale's Personal Collection. It was one of two items in the lot, and
did not sell in the auction at the time. It has been in storage ever
since. The other item described as since been sold. Dale knew it was
an original artwork used in V. Floyd Campbell's book, and marked that
information on the envelope it was stored in. Many of you will remember we
published three separate auction catalogs for three separate auctions of Dale's
personal collections: Wild West Auction, Aviation Auction, and American Plains
Indian Auction. They were hugely successful at the time, and I still have
a few copies of the first two, but do not believe I have any of the Indian
Auction catalogs left. See the listings below. This piece measures
roughly 8 x 11 3/4", not completely cut straight. See the photos for all
the details. The color is not true on all of them. It has an aged
color, like the scans I took, not the actual photographs I took. I will
put them all on here for you to get a good idea of the variations, but the
actual color are the darker tones. $1,500
Sale Price $995
2PP
- ORIGINAL WWI & WWII POSTERS
The following were from a huge lot Dale purchased decades ago. Most were
recently displayed in our Alaska home, living room, Dale's office, etc. We
would lay the poster over an acid free mat, then put Plexiglass on top, and
attach to the wall with mirror clips. It didn't cause any damage to the
posters. Now they are down and rolled, ready to ship (a few that can not
be rolled, will be noted). No Plexiglass or mats included. I'll list
the size, any unusual condition, price for each. All original!! If
there are tape repairs, most were done with Archival document repair tape, but
some do have much older tape repair. Some had chunks missing filled in.
Check the photos for most of those details. Also note that while most of
the photos show the posters uneven, it is only because I had to take them at
angles from a high ladder. I will list these at prices that should move
them along quickly.

Dale purchased these at auction in 1992 from Dunning's Auction
Service in Elgin Illinois. I won't take the time to split them out, but
just sell as one lot and let you do the piece by piece selling. I am also
going to let you go through the photos to see what there is, as describing them
is a bit over my head. I don't know how to describe some of the uniforms,
rank and machinery.

4PP - AUCTION CATALOG OF DALE'S PERSONAL COLLECTION OF WILD WEST
MATERIAL, INCLUDING GEORGE CUSTER AND OTHERS This is a 100 page
+ cover catalog that we produced for our May 1985 mail order auction of Dale's
personal collection. It included many items from the 7th Cavalry, famous
Western, Military and Political figures, and some Indian material. Mostly
black & white photos, and a few color. Tons of information on some very
important items. Also included is the Prices Realized sheet. Only
have a few copies left. I will send via Media mail. $25 each
5PP - AUCTION CATALOG OF DALE'S PERSONAL AVIATION COLLECTION This
is a 93 page + cover catalog that we produced for our October 1990 mail order
auction of Dale's personal collection. It consisted of a large variety of
aviation material, including 50+ painted leather jackets. Lots of black &
white photos, and color photos of the leather jackets. Also some great and
interesting information. Also included is the Prices Realized sheet. This is an invaluable reference
catalog. $25 each
6PP -
OUR FLAG LITHOGRAPH - COLUMBIA RODE THROUGH THE STORM
My guess is this was made 1890's. The Litho company name from
Philadelphia in the lower right, has been mostly obliterated. Not sure
if it was deliberately or accidentally rubbed. 17 1/2 x 21 3/4". It
was in a frame behind glass until recently. This is a very nice
rendition of the United States flag on a flagstaff, towering above the
clouds, some which look dark and nasty, and the other part is a blue
sky. Dramatic. The words below are "COLUMBIA RODE SAFE THROUGH THE
STORM" and "OUR FLAG" below. Some minor staining only in the white
border areas. I will ship this rolled.
$50
Sale Price $25
7PP - VERY NICE CIVIL WAR CDV OF LADY LIBERTY IN AN EQUALLY NICE
WOOD FRAME The frame measures 8 1/4" wide x 9 1/4" tall.
Classic style from the Civil War, with corner flourishes, and a gilt type inner
portion before the glass. The CDV is 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" in the mat. You
may want to re-frame the CDV, as it is kind of loose within the frame.
This was something I displayed for years in our homes. Time to move it
along. $75
Sale

8PP - GROUP OF 1965 SPACE WALK LIFE MAGAZINE AND NEWSPAPER
AND 1969 TO THE MOON NEWSPAPERS These all belonged to
Dale back then and have been in storage ever since. He was also in
the Space Program while in the Air Force so it meant a lot to him.
Life Magazine dated June 18, 1965 with color photos of the Moon Walk.
Complete and in great condition showing some handling. Alabama
Journal dated June 3, 1965 "Round And Round They Go!". The
Times-Herald dated July 16, 1969 "Epic Journey To Moon Begins" , July
21, 1969 "Eagle Blasts Off" and July 24, 1969 "Moon Travelers Blaze Down
In Pacific". All show some yellowing with a few frayed edges,
otherwise in really nice condition. $75
Sale
Price $50
9PP - 19th CENTURY CHROMOLITHOGRAPH "THE BATTLE OF LAKE
ERIE" Another item we had displayed on our wall in
Alaska, and no doubt something Dale had tucked away for years. 16
x 23". I removed it from a heavy frame, and will ship just the
litho. The only markings I see are in the lower left corner - "STROBRIDGE
& CO. CHROMO, CIN. O". Overall excellent condition, a bit toned
down, but quite an impressive scene. The rear of the litho shows a
lot of yellowing, probably from being framed on an acid mat. Only
one very small cut on the edge, with some old tape. A framed one
sold at Cowans in 2011 for $382. My closeout price is...$175
Sale Price $75

13PP - WWII AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION
FLASH CARDS Used
to teach aircraft identification to Ground Observer Corps members -
people who during WWII kept a constant look at the skies. The
same cards were used in combat theaters as well to teach aircrews,
ground observers, gunners, etc., how to identify enemy aircraft.
These cards are originals and are mostly 4 x 5'', white cardstock,
printed in black, showing three views of each aircraft. These
came from the Albany Air Region Ground Observer Corps. This is a
nice sampling of the cards used.
Have set of 9 different... $15

of Uncle Sam, flanked by a soldier and a sailor, each pointing to the
banner arching over Uncle Sam. It reads “WE HAVE REMEMBERED
THE MAINE”. Probably given out just after the War ended. The
grocer’s name and address is printed below "W. D.

- 8 SETS "THE
AMERICAN SOLDIER" PRINTS THIS
IS A FANTASTIC SET, WITH FABULOUS GRAPHICS!! Another
group of items from Dale's reference library. Just want to sell all
together as one lot. 9 x 12 3/4". These sets were published
by the Government Printing Office during the 1960's, in different sets
sold separately, depicting soldiers and uniforms from the 1700's through
1963. Each group has its own booklet describing each print. It states
that "The enclosed full-color reproductions of painting are..." There
are a couple duplicates. A couple sets were wet along the side, some
time in the past, so now they are obviously damaged. Most are in
excellent to near mint condition. A few were tacked up some time in
their past, and others have no holes. $75 for the lot
Sale Price $50
1. 10 prints, 1775 through 1965. Water damage.

17PP - TWO BEAUTIFUL SETS OF PRINTS - REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIERS AND
EARLY NAVAL VESSELS THIS
IS A FANTASTIC SET, WITH FABULOUS GRAPHICS!! Dale bought both of these sets in 1975 from
the Government Printing Office. Both come with their original mailing
envelopes. 1. The first set is entitled
"SOLDIERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION Published by Center of Military History,
Department of the Army". There are 10 prints, 17 x 22", 1974 date
on the lower corner of each print. These are just beautiful and great for
framing, all in near mint or better condition. 2. The second
set consists of 20 prints of 1700's naval vessels of all manner. The
prints seem to be reproduced from various artists and oil paintings. The
bottom of each print has "Naval History Division,
Department of the Navy, Washington D.C.". These are also near mint
or better. Would be great for framing. Comes with the original
mailing envelope with a date of 9-2-75 delivery attempt. Both sets for

18PP -
HUGE 1940's UNITED STATES MAP WITH LOTS OF INFORMATION Believe this is
WWII 1940's period. There is no date, unfortunately, but going by the
information listed, it just makes sense it is from the 40's. If you look
closely at some areas in each state, you can also determine what areas exist now
that didn't exist then, and figure some of it out. A whopping 41 x 54", folded
in storage down to 10 1/4 x 13 1/2". Printed on heavier paper, it's in really
great shape overall with some parted areas along the folds. This map consists
of a huge United States in the main portion, along with a smaller U.S. showing
Air Mail routes, and another showing Minerals and Agriculture. Other boxes show
states and territories. The main text box has a large "UNITED STATES / Produced
under the direction of Alexander Gross, F.R.G.S. / PUBLISHED BY / GEOGRAPHIA MAP
CO. 11 John St., NEW YORK". Below that are references for Railroads, Canals,
Scenes of Battle. Tons of info on this map; it is quite large, and will need
space to display it.
