SHIPS FITTINGS
IN DEMAND AS
ANTIQUES
Wheels, Compasses, Fog
Horns, Sextants, Cannon,
Lamps Most Sought

There are probably no more ro-
mantle antique articles, surrounded
with more vivid pictures of ad.
venture, than those that were usec
on old sailing vessels and the first
pAddlewhee, steamers which sailed
the seven seas. No well-appointed
library, reception hall or dining
room is complete without either the
one or the other of the "old salt
paraphernalia. As soon as any OF
these objects land in an antique
or art shop they are snapped up
by eager buyers who pay almost
any price for genuine old pieces.
To give some sort Of an IDEA
which of the articles of this charac-
ter are most in demand just now
the old-fashioned globe might oe
mentioned with a steering wheel
and compass following in close or
der. An old brass and teakwood
sextant should be added, also pew
ter cabin lamps. He is lucky IN
deed who can lay his hands on an
old American bellows fog-horn.
especially when there are two
horns of different tones attached
to it.
There is probably nothing moro
artistic and ornamental than an
early bronze ships light, protected
by hoop guards, to which might be
added a bronze cannon mounted on
q wheeled carriage.
Another department Of the art
developed by old mariners while
off on long whaling trips was the
scrimshaw work. There are scrim-
shaw decorated ivory whales
teeth; white whalebone stomachers
decorated in scrimshaw and in
Vulnerable other specimens of this
work. Needles to add that a few
paintings by master marine
artists, especially early American
or English would help much to
add artistic tone and atmosphere.
''Mac Donough's, Victory of Lake
Champlain," by Henry Reinagle
might be mentioned in this con-
nection as being highly appropriate
for this canvas depicts the original
study OF the subject, and B. Tanner
made his steel engraving from this
painting in 1913. Some of the
early American marine painters
failed to sign their canvases and
It is for that reason difficult to
state with certainty the origin of
SOule Oh the SuDJ6CIS.
A collection of maritime articles
OF necessity must also include a
number of ship models in miniature,
including old American, English,
French and Spanish sailing vessels
and If scrooled and decorated
bow with hgure-head can be pick
ed up, SO much the better.
Specimens OF needlework and
woodwork pictures of old ships, the
handiwork Of old time sailors also
belong to collection of this kind
in which should also be included
early English Staffordshire and
other contemporary pottery of
marine interest. II one is fortu-
nate enough to pick up a carved
barometer and naval
and gilt banjo clock
by Simon Willard with eglosime
panels, the lower square panel
showing the naval battle be-
tween the CONSTITUTION" and the
"Guerriere," one should be salts
