About the Item
Native American beadwork gauntlets with Indian Chiefs in feathered headdresses, probably souix, Ca 1880-90
Native American beadwork gauntlets with beautiful graphics and endearing wear. Made of doeskin, the imagery includes colorfully dressed Indian chiefs, in feathered headdresses, facing one-another. Made circa 1880-1890, many of these types of gauntlets were sold to soldiers and were popular during the Indian Wars (1866-1890) and the Spanish-American War (1898) era. Most likely these particular examples saw use in wild west shows, which were immensely popular at the time.
Mounting: The antique, solid walnut molding has a press-decorated edge, retains its original, black, varnished surface and gilded liner, and dates to the period between 1860 and 1880. The gauntlets have been hand-stitched to 100% hemp fabric. Spacers keep the textiles away from the glass, which is U.V. protective.
Condition: Significant soiling and moderate to significant wear from obvious use.

Cast Iron Boot Jack Made for 1864 Presidential Campaign of George McClellan
Located in York County, PA
CAST IRON BOOT JACK, MADE FOR THE 1864 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OF GENERAL GEORGE B. MC CLELLAN, WITH A FANTASTIC SLOGAN THAT READS "THE UNION AT ALL HAZZARDS"
Made for the 1864 presidential run of George B. McClellan, this cast iron bootjack is both rare and graphically exceptional. Displaying the original black-painted surface, with attractive and desirable patina, the stylized profile has a wonderful folk art quality. Molded block letters that wrap around the heel clasp read simply "Gen. Mc Clellan. These are accompanied by a prominent Civil War-associated slogan: "The Union at all Hazards." The text is intermingled with 34 stars, which was equivalent to the number of states during the opening two years of the war, but was one star short by mid-1863 and two stars short by the time of the actual election in 1864. It's not unusual to encounter this feature in civil war campaign parade flags as well as all manner of flag-related ephemera.
The iron was reportedly cast by G. & D. Cross of Morrisville, New York, though it is unsigned and I have not yet verified the attribution. I have seen two other examples, one of which had a broken and repaired tine on the U-shaped horns and newly painted surface, while the other appeared to have broken lifters and inferior, rusted patina. This is, hands-down, the best of the identified examples.
Brief History of the 1864 Campaign:
President Abraham Lincoln had a checkered relationship with his 1864 opponent, who he had formerly chosen as General-in-Chief of the entire Union Army. The career officer repeatedly knocked heads with his Commander-in-Chief. Having raised a well-trained and organized military force, McClellan often seemed reluctant to use it. By 1862, after losses in Virginia during the Peninsula Campaign, Lincoln grew frustrated with McClellan and the progression of the war and removed him from command.
By the early part of 1864 the American people shared some of the same frustrations and Lincoln was no longer the clear choice for the White House. The nation was tired of war and the remains of the Democratic Party...
