A single-owner military collection of weapons, uniforms, photographs and letters has been consigned to the sale. Offered will be 19 American Revolutionary or earlier and US Civil War long guns and two Civil War-era swords. These guns include British Tower flintlock, 1808 US Model T. French flintlock musket, 1700s Isaac Lacey flintlock musket, circa 1700s excavated battlefield relic, 1864 US Springfield percussion, US Model 1841 Robbins & Lawrence rifle, 1863 Colt Model 1863 musket, Springfield Model 1816 percussion, Model 1841 Robbins, Kendell & Lawrence, 1851 model Harpers Ferry rifle, 1862 Sharps & Hankins Navy carbine, US 1871 Springfield rolling block rifle, Burnside breech loading carbine with saddle ring, 1860 Spencer repeating rifle with saddle ring and 1879 Winchester single shot rifle.

Uniforms include a Civil War Union greatcoat, blue shoulder capes, artillery field shell jacket, trousers, boots and four-piece uniform belonging to Col Calvin Craig, 115 Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers. Of special interest are an identified Lieut. Alfred W. Kredel’s 1861-1865 Pennsylvania foot locker with personal effects and photographs; and an 1850-60 one-pounder bronze and iron cannon. Additional items for sale include four Civil War armed soldier tintypes, including a quarter-plate seated uniformed solder with a rifle, one-eighth plate waist-up of uniformed solder with a rifle and hand gun, an eighth-plate standing soldier with a sword and two revolvers and an eighth-plate full figure of a standing soldier holding a long musket.

Of special interest is a collection of papers, photographs, letters and journal belonging to William Cameron Forbes (1870-1959) who was a noted American investment banker and diplomat from Boston. He was the son of William Hathaway Forbes, president of Bell Telephone company, and son-in-law of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He graduated from Harvard in 1892 and embarked on a successful business career. During the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, he was commissioner of commerce and police in the American colonial Insular Government of the Philippines from 1904 to 1908 and vice governor from 1908 to 1909. During the administration of President William Howard Taft, Forbes served as governor-general of the Philippines from 1909 to 1913 and was US ambassador to Japan from 1930 to 1932 under President Hoover. Forbes first went to the Philippines in 1904; with experience and connections, he played a decisive role in shaping the future of the Philippine Islands.

This large lot includes, among many items, a spiral-bound notebook on the early history of Baguio (a city designed by Daniel Burnham and the summer capital of the Philippines) from the personal journals of Forbes when he first arrived in the Philippines; 1909-10 large leather-bound embossed album of Christmas and holiday greeting cards from VIPS, generals (Pershing, George C., Marshall), other diplomats and friends; and a crop stick with silverplated top embossed emblem of Philippines.

The second session, beginning at 3:30 pm, consists of another single-owner collection — a grouping of Hollywood movie and television memorabilia from the 1930s to the 2000s. It includes movie lobby cards, posters, photographs and 16mm films from such noted movies as 1949 Wizard of Oz, 1952 King Kong, 1946 Spiral Staircase, 1951 The Thing, 1953 Invaders from Mars, 1951 African Queen, 1962 What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, 1968 and 2001 A Space Odyssey, 1960 Psycho and many others.
