27. IMPORTANT HISTORIC UNCLE SAM SUIT AND TOP HAT. Used by Thomas Nast for his model while with Harper's Publishing Company in New York. Of all the 19th Century American Illustrator/Cartoon artists to create images of Uncle Sam, Thomas Nast is truly the most significant. He is recognized for having popularized the addition of the beard to the image of Uncle Sam and for having propagated the image of Uncle Sam through his cartoon illustrations for over 35 years during the last half of the 19th Century This suit and hat were used by Thomas Nast as artists props in the process of his creating countless Uncle Sam images during his professional career as an artist/cartoonist for Harper's Magazine as well as numerous other periodicals of the 19th Century. This suit and top hat are truly a major part of a development of the historic images of Uncle Sam during a most important period of our country's history. This is the only Uncle Sam suit known to exist that has a direct connection to the creation of Uncle Sam images by Thomas Nast. An extremely rare and truly museum quality piece of history. This Uncle Sam suit and top hat were stored in a properties storage room at Harper & Brothers Publishing Company in New York City in a wooden crate labeled "Thomas Nast - Uncle Sam'. The suit, top hat and wooden crate were removed from the storage room in 1896 by Joseph Wesley Harper, nicknamed "Joe Madison", son of Charles Wesley Harper and grandson of Joseph Wesley Harper, one of the original four founding Harper brothers. They remained in his personal possession until 1932 when Cheston Kayser of Island Heights, New Jersey acquired them directly from him. They were then acquired directly from Cheston Kayser by Gerald E. Czulewicz, Sr. in 1974 and have remained in his collection until the present time. A notarized letter of authenticity and provenance from Mr. Czulewicz will accompany this lot. C. 1870. CONDITION: Generally good, some fraying and slight wear. 1-26881, 1-26830 (offered without estimate)
28. ONE OF THE RAREST TREASURES OF THE COLLECTION - THE UNCLE SAM SUIT AND TOP HAT worn and used by James Montgomery Flagg to create his most famous image of Uncle Sam. This is without question the most famous suit of clothing in the patriotic history of our country. From the very first 'I WANT YOU' poster in 1917, published by Leslie-Judge for the United States Government, for our entry into WW I, on through WW II and the Korean War, you will see this suit and hat appear complete or in part, in most all of James Montgomery Flagg's illustrations, posters and other applications where he utilized the image of Uncle Sam. Even before WW I, it appeared on the cover of Leslie's Magazine issues of July 6, 1916 and February 15, 1917. These images of Uncle Sam were identical to what was eventually used on the WW I poster of 1917 with the 'I WANT YOU' FOR THE U.S. ARMY - NEAREST RECRUITING STATION message. This is the only known Uncle Sam suit and hat to exist that came directly from James Montgomery Flagg and that was used for his Uncle Sam creations. Mr. Flagg had been known to wear various other top hats that were given to him as gifts and worn by him in passing fancy. However, the top hat that accompanies this suit is the only one he actually used in the creation of his many Uncle Sam illustrations. Mr. Flagg had personally given his Uncle Sam suit and hat to his good friend and fellow artist Everett Raymond Kinstler of New York City. Many years later Mr. Raymond Veloff of Madison, Wisconsin had acquired the Uncle Sam suit and hat directly from Mr. Kinstler along with numerous original illustrations of Uncle Sam created by James Montgomery Flagg. In 1979, Gerald E. Czulewicz, Sr. acquired the Uncle Sam suit and hat as well as all of the original Uncle Sam illustrations by J. M. Flagg directly from Mr. Veloff. They have been a part of Mr. Czulewicz's collection since that time. While on a national tour from 1980 through 1992 this Uncle Sam suit and hat, along with a major cross section of other objects and images from the collection of Mr. Czulewicz have been on exhibit in approximately 27 museums and historical societies throughout the United States. This suit and hat, being the most noted and recognizable components of the most famous patriotic poster ever created in the history of our country are already established as having true museum significance and are probably the rarest objects in existence that represent the history of one of our country's greatest patriotic symbols, that of Uncle Sam. The complete suit and hat are displayed on a mannequin, the head of which has been hand sculpted to the likeness of Uncle Sam by Gerald E. Czulewicz, Sr. in 1980. The suit and hat are circa 1916. Accompanying this lot are a lot of original James Montgomery Flagg photographs which include a grouping of nine original black and white photographs of James Montgomery Flagg with various friends and models all of which directly or indirectly pertain to the creation of his images of Uncle Sam. Each photo is an 8" x 10" image, matted and framed in three separate frames with three images per frame. Condition is very good. (photos are pictured below) SIZE: Mannequin is 6 1/2 ft. CONDITION: Very good, minor repairs to wrist joints. CONDITION: Suit and hat - Generally good to very good, minor soiling, fraying to brim of hat, slight separation to top and bottom portions of hat, some re-stitching. 1-26791 & 1-26808 (offered without estimate)

30. RARE AND HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT FERROTYPE (TINTYPE) IMAGE OF SAMUEL WILSON ('UNCLE SAM') OF TROY, NEW, YORK. Image depicts a white-bearded Sam Wilson in button-up black vest and cost. His cheeks have been tinted pink. This is the only known photographic image in existence of the official progenitor of America's national symbol of 'Uncle Sam'. Samuel Wilson was born on September 13, 1766: in what is now Arlington, Massachusetts previously called Menotomy and West Cambridge, and died on July 31, 1854 in Troy, New York. His meat packing business and the War of 1812 put him into history on a blustery and soggy day of October 1, 1812. There appears to have been a definite incident when one of his employees declared, as a joke, that the letters 'U.S.' on the government meat casks packed at Wilson's establishment actually stood for 'Uncle Sam Wilson'. The story grew that anything marked U.S. was really Uncle Sam's, which laughingly, made Wilson a man of great posessions. The meat casks had the initials 'EA - US' on them. The 'EA' stood for Elbert Anderson, Jr. and the 'US' stood for United States. Anderson was an Army contractor who was buying meat from suppliers in New York and New Jersey, including the Wilson brothers. Army regulations required that the initials of the contractor and of the United States appear on the casks. This story was thoroughly documented by Colonel Edgar T. Noyes of San Antonio, Texas, Alton Ketchum of New York City and Thomas I. Gerson of Schenectady, New York over a period of 25 to 30 years of in depth research and the collecting of definitive documentation. This research being so definitive that Samuel Wilson of Troy, New York was officially declared as the progenitor of America's national symbol of 'Uncle Sam' by the Eighty-Seventh Congress of the United States of America at the First Session on September 15, 1961. This original ferrotype (tintype) of Samuel Wilson was a major part of the Col. Noyes collection of Uncle Sam material that was used as documentation in the process leading to the above mentioned Act of Congress. The portrait photograph was the work of Christopher Schoonmaker, one of Troy's earliest known photographers, located at 282 River Street in Troy, New York, in 1852. It is the focal point of a feature article on 'The Origin and History of Uncle Sam' published in the November 1966 issue of the American Legion Magazine, a copy of which accompanies this lot offering. This article includes a detailed history of this photograph and the complete provenance up to and including it becoming a part of the Noyes collection. After the death of Col. Noyes, James Heller of Longview, Texas acquired the photograph directly from the estate of Col. Noyes. It became a part of his personal collection of patriotic Americana until Gerald E. Czulewicz, Sr. acquired it directly from Mr. Heller in 1999. A notarized letter from Mr. James Heller discussing his acquisition of this photograph from the collection of Col. Noyes and the acquisition of the photograph by Mr. Czulewicz from Mr. Heller accompanies this lot. Ferrotype is in its original gutta-percha 'Union Case', the back plate, verso, is inscribed in relief script "Sam'l Wilson, St. Mary's Str., Troy, 1852. Embossed into the blue velvet liner inside of the case to the left, opposite the photographic image is 'Schoonmaker' 282 River St. Troy, N.Y. SIZE: Ferrotype photograph is 1/4 '' (plate). CONDITION: Generally very good with some minor blemishes in the background. 1-26908 (15,000-20,000)
31. RARE, UNCLE SAM RELATED,EARLY AMBROTYPE. Ambrotype of Benjamin Wilson and his wife. Image depicts a dark-bearded man with his wife in ringlets. Benjamin Wilson was one of the sons of 'Uncle Sam' Wilson of Troy, New York. This ambrotype, believed to be from approximately 1842, is the work of Christopher Schoonmaker, one of the earliest photographers in Troy, New York, located at 282 River Street, Troy, New York. Of all four of Samuel Wilson's children, only two sons, Benjamin and Albert, lived to adulthood. Benjamin was the only to have children. Colonel Edgar T. Noyes, whose collection this ambrotype was once a part of, believed it to be extremely important, historically, because of it being the only child of Samuel Wilson to carry on the family name and heritage by way of his offspring. Col. Noyes had acquired this ambrotype, along with the original ferrotype of Samuel Wilson, from the Executor of the Estate of Mrs. Persis Wilson, wife of Deacon Wilson who was the son of Thomas Wilson from Mason, New Hampshire, who was the youngest brother of 'Uncle Sam' Wilson of Troy, New York. This is a truly important ambrotype with a significant historical connection to our most patriotic symbol, 'Uncle Sam' Wilson. A separate letter of provenance will accompany this lot. This ambrotype is a 1/4 plate (size) and in its original embossed leatherette case. On the inside left half, opposite the image, is a velvet liner embossed with the photographers information, Schoonmaker - 282 River Street, Troy, New York. C. 1842.
