Rare M4 Leather WWII Horse Gas Mask

Located in Peekskill, NY

M4 US Government Army Issue World War II, vintage 1941-1942 Horse Gas Masks are very scarce. Due to the large size, most were discarded after the war. Occasionally, one will pop up, but most are incomplete or in poor condition. The M4 Horse Gas Mask has 2 large filter canisters, one placed on each shoulder of the horse. It has a chest mounted pack, and a rubber mask for the horse's muzzle. Flexible hoses run between the components, and leather straps keep everything secure to the horse. Horses (Cavalry) and Pack Mules were not as common in WWII as they were in WWI, making the Horse Gas Mask all the more rare. If you are a serious gas mask collector, consider the chance of finding another M4 Horse gas mask. Included is the signed canvas...

Kuba Iron Currency Spear, c. 1900
Kuba Iron Currency Spear, c. 1900

Kuba Iron Currency Spear, c. 1900

Located in Chicago, IL

While shield and spear were central to African combat, this iron example was most likely made to serve as a piece of trade currency. Many pre-colonization African currencies were modeled after objects of inherent value, resulting in sculptural combinations of function and beauty. This large iron spear dates to the early 20th century and is attributed to the Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Secured to a narrow iron handle, the flattened blade has an elegant, sloping silhouette, subtly textured with concentric grooves and a rusted, antique patina. Forged as a broadleaf spear, the weapon contrasts a violent potential with images of peaceful branches swaying in the wind. We've set this unusual Kuba spear...

Miniature Napoleonic Military Hats Charles Sandré

Located in Newark, England

FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING FIRMLY ATTRIBUTED TO CHARLES SANDRÉ From our Decorative collection, we’re pleased to offer this rare and highly detailed collection of 15 miniature Napoleonic Military hats, confidently attributed to the French artist Charles Sandré. Each model represents a different style of military headgear worn by French regiments in the early 19th century, including shakos, bearskins, corsican and Czapkas helmets, with regimental distinctions carefully recreated in miniature. The hats are presented individually on custom-made steel stands and display a wide range of detail, from cockades and cords to plumes and regimental insignia. Included in the collection are examples from cavalry, infantry, grenadiers, chasseurs and artillery units. Colours, finishes and trimmings reflect the full spectrum of early 19th century French military dress, all worked with a level of precision and charm that has made Sandré’s work widely collected. Charles Sandré worked between 1895 and 1915 and is widely known for producing finely made miniature military figures some of which reside in the entrance hall at the Army Museum in the Hôtel des Invalides, Paris . These models were most likely created during that time or shortly after, with surviving examples now considered rare. Sandré’s work is valued both as decorative military art and as a personal response to historical memory, offering a detailed look at the variety and richness of Napoleonic military dress. The colours of this particular set are well preserved, and each model sits securely on its stand, making the collection ideal for display. A seldom-seen and beautifully presented group, firmly attributed to a unique figure in 19th century military collecting...
