In April of 1861, Colonel DeWitt Clinton Baxter organized the Philadelphia Fire Zouaves, also called the Baxter Light Infantry (BLI) Regiment. It was composed entirely of firemen from almost every Philadelphia company, with fancy uniforms based on the French Zouaves. After three months of preliminary service the regiment was mustered in on August 10th and left for Washington. There it became part of the Third California, called the 'California Brigade', which had been created as a body of regular troops under direct authority of President Lincoln. When Colonel Baker was killed in October at the battle of Ball's Bluff, the Philadelphia Fire Zouaves were claimed by the State of Pennsylvania as the 72nd Pennsylvania Volunteers. In 1862 and 1863 the regiment participated in the battles of Manassas, Antietam, Freericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Today, at the center of the Gettysburg line is a bronze statue of a Fire Zouave, commemorating the hand-to-hand combat of the regiment on July 3, 1863, where it suffered 40 percent casualties. In 1864 the regiment fought at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and Petersburg. "Death or an Honorable Life. 1798. B. L.

He was born in London in 1782, orphaned at the age of five, and the pledge of the Odd Fellows to 'educate the orphan' came from his experiences. He lived with an uncle, became an Odd Fellow in 1804, and immigrated to Baltimore in 1817. There he missed the camaraderie of his English lodge, and put a notice in the newspaper requesting that any other Odd Fellows meet with him at the Seven Stars Inn on April 26, 1819. There Wildey and four other English immigrants formed the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of North America. Afterwards he traveled widely, and set up lodges in most of the Eastern states.

1836. Baseball: US Commonwealth Trophy Cups from the Manila Polo Club! 1937. Brunk's father (William Summerfield Brunk) was an All American in track and field in the 1920s, and won third place in the running high jump in the US trials for the 1928 Olympics. Brunk can remember as a kid during the 1950s that the radio news reported one of his father's records in the high jump finally had been broken at a particular track meet. W.S. went to the Philippines during the 1930s, where he held some of their national records. He coached the Philippine national team in the Far Eastern Games before going into business in Manila. By good luck, he was out of the country when the Japanese attacked the Philippines, which was then an American commonwealth. During the 1930s Brunk was the captain and pitcher of the winning Philippine Polo Club baseball teams. His team won the championship in three successive years, and he was presented with an engraved trophy cup each year. Each trophy is about 3 x 1/2 inches. The first two are hallmarked "Homan Mfg. Co., EP-NS, and 0-1155." The third is hallmarked "Melford, M 101, E.P.W.M." 1) Engraved "Philippine Refining Cup, 1937, Manila Polo Club, Won by Polo Club Reds" and the names and positions of the team members.

1922. Rare Gateshead Perambulation Medal, 1824. It was a tradition in a few English parishes to periodically walk the boundary line, which was called a perambulation. A few, VERY RARE medals were struck for such occasions, and were given to those who participated in the ceremony. The "Monthly Chronicle of North County Lore and Legend" noted the following about this perambulation. "On Ascension day, May 27th, 1824, the Revd. John Collinson, with his churchwardens, and twenty four parishioners perambulated the ancient borough of Gabrosentium as Gateshead was called by the Romans. This was the first perambulation since 1792, and a general holiday was declared, and a great number of townspeople accompanied the procession. They were attended by two constables, with flags and two pipers. The procession assembled at St. Mary's church, and at 9 a.m. proceeded to the 'Blue Stone' on Tyne Bridge, where, from a ladder over the side of the bridge some descended, and plodged through the mud by the river to follow the northern boundary. The main procession headed by the pipers playing the 'Keel Row' proceeded along the northern and western boundaries to Wrekenton, where refreshments were provided. Afterwards they joined the ladies and danced to the music of an excellent band. The procession then moved along the southern and eastern boundaries to the river Tyne, at the north west corner of a strip of land called the 'Friars Goose', where the constables and pipers took a boat and returned to their starting point at the Blue Stone on the bridge. The perambulation ended at 4:30 p.m. and the party sat down to dinner at the Black Bull inn, Sir R. S. Hawks, Knight, being in the chair."

Many of his medals have artistic obverses, and multi-line, 'almost endless' reverse inscriptions. Thomason purchased the obverse die that Jean Dassier (1676-1763) had used to strike a portrait medal of James II. In 1688 James abdicated and was replaced by the Protestant William of Orange in the "Glorious Revolution" that still is celebrated by Orangemen. Bust of James II in flowing wig, surrounded by his titles in Latin, below the signature "I. Dassier F." has been partially erased.

1937. Great Britain. Thomason's Medallic Bible Quotation Medals, 1835. Group of six medals with Biblical quotes on each side issued by Sir Edward Thomason (1769-1849), a Birmingham eccentric and medalist, who invented the English cork screw. He issued a number of series of medals, including a 60 piece medallic Bible, and medals celebrating the Elgin Marbles, which were taken from Athens' Parthenon to the British Museum in the early nineteenth century. Many of his medals have artistic obverses, and multi-line, almost endless reverse inscriptions. Of equal interest are the old tags that describe five of the pieces in this lot. Collectors of a century ago kept their medals in elaborate wooden cabinets that had velvet-lined circular depressions cut into their drawers. With each of this lot's medals was placed a 23 mm circle of heavy white paper on which the collector described the piece. On these paper circles are various comments, and "Batty" numbers, which refer to the monumental "Batty's Catalogue of the Copper Coinage of Great Britain, Ireland, British Isles and Colonies, Local and Private Tokens, Jetons, etc." published in Manchester between 1868 and 1898. It was the first general catalog of British tokens, but very hard to use as the tokens were not listed in any particular order, but randomly as Batty came upon newly discovered items.

1963. Great Britain. Crimean War Peace Treaty Medal, 1856. Medal commemorating the end of the Crimean War (1853-1856). It began over a dispute concerning the Christian holy places in Jerusalem, which were then part of the Ottoman Empire. When the Sultan refused the Russian Czar's claim that his troops should be deployed in the Ottoman Empire to "protect" Orthodox Christians, the Czar used that as an excuse to occupy Moldavia and Wallachia, now in Romania. After the Russians destroyed the Turkish Black Sea fleet, the French and British ordered the Russians to withdraw, which they refused to do. Eventually the British, French, Austrians, Turks, and others allied against the Russians. The British-French victory at Balaklava was immortalized in 'Charge of the Light Brigade' by Tennyson.

A number of ships were sunk, and the German loses were greater than those of the British, but Jellicoe was not able to inflict greater losses due to Scheer's brilliant retreat. Since the acts of his subordinate, Viceadmiral David Betty in command of the Battle Cruiser Fleet, were seen as more heroic because his loses were greater, Jellicoe was not greeted with enthusiasm in Britain. Nevertheless, after Jutland, the German navy was never a serious threat for the rest of the war.

Most are anonymous, but a small portion had their legends changed to indicate their issuer or their purpose. R. N. P. Hawkins published an important series of articles on them in the 'British Numismatic Journal' from 1960 to 1968, and there has been increased collector interest in the series recently because of the publication of two books: David Magnay's 'A Catalogue of Advertising Imitation Spade Guineas and Half Guineas' (1997) and Bryce Nelson's 'One Thousand Guineas' (2004). Fifteen guineas with legends changed to "J.W" "G.Y.I" "T.B" "G.L." "M.B.", "J.R. ET J.W." "B. BROS. HOCKLEY" etc. to indicate maker and some with "B.I.R.M." indicating Birmingham. Dated 1701 (not a typo, but a diesinking mistake) to 1798. Fifteen pieces in lot, nine holed for suspension. Mostly different, nice lot. $75.00-85.00+

Most of the series beginning with King Pharmond (417 AD) are from the drawings of Thomas Bernard (1650-1713), who had to "invent" portraits of the early rulers as none are known. The early medals are unsigned, and who executed them is uncertain, but it often is said that the bulk of the series was engraved by Jean Dassier (1676-1763) during his stay in Paris. Later medals were executed by various engravers, and some attribute the earlier pieces to Auguste Caque.

2105. US Civil War Sanitary Commission - Important French Universal Grand Prize Medal, 1867. The United States Sanitary Commission operated the Union field hospitals during the Civil War. Its origins were in Bridgeport, Connecticut, whose women formed an organization to provide relief and comfort to Civil War volunteers. The idea was copied by the US government, and the US Sanitary Commission was formed by a June 9, 1861, order of the Secretary of War. During the Civil War it distributed over $15,000,000 in supplies, and received $5,000,000 in donations, most given at the Civil War "Sanitary Fairs" that it held in a number of cities. (Its small medals for the Great Central Fair of Philadelphia are collected as Civil War tokens). The 1867 Universal Exposition in Paris was organized by Napoleon III's American dentist, Dr. Thomas Evans, which explains the odd connection between the French Government and the Civil War Sanitary Commission. "Napoleon III Empereur" around laureate bust of the Emperor / "Exposition Universelle de MDCCCLXVII a Paris" around two winged cherubs holding plaque over which is a laurel wreath, below is the French imperial eagle, "Grand-Prix" below.

By Henri Ponscarme. 67 mm, made from joined and filed shells with visible edge seam. Medium brown. An old Johnson and Jensen auction explains this unusual means of production. Such medals were cast bronze, and then gold electroplated. Minute edge dings, VF-XF. Important Medal for this Civil War organization! $1000.00-2000.00+
