French Line Vautrin Bronze Poem Box with Sonnet by Felix Arvers
Located in Atlanta, GA
A wonderful jewelry box in gilt cast bronze by Parisian art jeweler Line Vautrin (1913-1997). From a small special series, the designer created circa 1945-55. on which some French poems were cast in relief on the cover. This box features a well-known love poem "Sonnet" by Félix Arvers (1806 – 1850), widely considered as one of the most romantic French poems written about unrequited love and longing. Three out of four passages are shown on the lid except the third one. The box is lined with cork. There is a line on the back from casting, commonly seen in the boxes of the series. Mon âme a son secret, ma vie a son mystère, Un amour éternel en un moment conçu Le mal est sans espoir, aussi j'ai dû le taire, Et celle qui l'a fait n'en a jamais rien su. Hélas ! j'aurai passé près d'elle inaperçu, Toujours à ses côtés, et pourtant solitaire. Et j'aurai jusqu'au bout fait mon temps sur la terre, N'osant rien demander et n'ayant rien reçu. Pour elle, quoique Dieu l'ait faite douce et tendre, Elle suit son chemin, distraite et sans entendre Ce murmure d'amour élevé sur ses pas. À l'austère devoir, pieusement fidèle, Elle dira, lisant ces vers tout remplis d'elle " Quelle est donc cette femme ? " et ne comprendra pas. A secret fills my soul, and a mystery fills my life, An eternal love conceived in an instant. As the scourge was hopeless, it remained wordless, And the one responsible was unaware of it. Alas! I lived close to her but without notice, Always by her side yet so lonely. And I shall have lived my days on this Earth, Not daring to ask for anything, obtaining nothing. Even though God made her gentle and tender, She goes her way, careless and oblivious To the sough of love rising...

Civil War Painted Tin Canteen
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented is an original Civil War-era tin canteen. A classic example of the 1858 model “smoothside” canteen, this example retains its original pull ring, cork stopper, and linked chain stopper attachment. The body of one side of the tin canteen was later painted a light blue, with a patriotic US shield at the center. The shield is composed of the blue chief with white stars and thirteen alternating red and white pales. A red painted inscription reads “Co. F 13th Regt. Vt. Vol's.” Many Civil War canteens were kept by Union soldiers after the war and later decorated with their regiment and company numbers for GAR events or company reunions. The 13th Vermont Regiment was a nine months infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It was raised as a result of President Lincoln's call on August 4, 1862, for additional troops after the disastrous results of the early Peninsula Campaign. The regiment was composed of over 900 volunteers from several counties in Vermont, with those in Company F from the town of Richmond. The 13 Vermont Regiment served in the eastern theater, predominantly in the defense of Washington, from October 1862 to August 1863. In June of 1863, the regiment formed the rear guard of the Army of the Potomac...
