Rare Toned Unc

The Adventures of Unc’ Billy Possum

$25.48

Old Billy Possum is dead! So says Reddy Fox, anyway, who walks along singing, "Ol’ Bill Possum, it served him right, and he is no more, for he died last night!" Then Reddy Fox sees a ghost — and the rest of the animals see the truth . . . at least until the next tomfoolery takes place on the very day of Peter Rabbit’s party! Unc’ Billy Possum learns how easy it is to get into trouble — and how hard it is to get out, once in — in this classic animal tale by Thornton Burgess.

This CD is a bit of a disappointment, not for the music but for the packaging. During 1979-1980, Biograph came out with two Zoot Sims LPs (One to Blow On and The Big Stampede) that contained 16 selections in all. But this CD just has ten of the songs, seven of the eight tunes from the first album (why did they leave out “September in the Rain”?) and three of the eight numbers from the second date. The incomplete nature of this reissue series is a pity for the music is excellent. Sims’s tenor fits in very well with the valve trombone of Bob Brookmeyer during the earlier quintet date and also blends nicely with the cool-toned trumpet of Jerry Lloyd on the final three numbers. The music is swinging with Sims already starting to show an original musical personality built out of the sound of Lester Young. But the CD is only recommended to those listeners unable to find the two earlier LPs. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music GuidePerformers: Zoot Sims – Saxophone

Shipwreck Artifacts, Currency, Stock Certificates, Ephemera and Obsolete Notes to be Offered by Smythe & Co. Starting Oct. 29th 2007

Manhattan, New York – October 13, 2007 – Everyone at R.M. Smythe & Co., Inc., (http://www.smytheonline.com) is going to have a very busy week starting October 29th 2007 in what can only be described as a frenzied whirlwind of auctions. They will offer a exciting suite of four consecutive sales to include; coins and artifacts from the 1784 shipwreck of the El Cazador on Oct. 30th; paper money & stock certificate on Oct. 31st at 11AM EDT; obsolete notes from the Schingoethe collection on Oct. 31st at 6pm EDT and a mail-bid / live Internet auction of paper and ephemera on November 1st at 11AM EDT. All of the auctions will be held at the R. M. Smythe auction gallery in Manhattan.

The one week, four auction, whirlwind of over 5500 lots includes a historically fascinating mix of items. Among the more noteworthy offerings are artifacts and rare coins recovered from the ship El Cazador (The Hunter). On January 11, 1784 El Cazador left from Vera Cruz for New Orleans, and the then Spanish Louisiana with 450,000 freshly minted coins in its hold. The task was to shore up the local economy by retiring discredited Spanish currency, issued some 20 years earlier. The Ship, her crew, and the treasure she was carrying disappeared without a trace. Smythe & Co. is offering 43 lots recovered from the wreck of the El Cazador in their Oct. 30th auction. Some of the more interesting items include:

Lot# 1616 – 18th Century Spanish Bronze Breech Loaded Cannon. Typical form, 39 1/2” in length. Bourbon arms of Charles III on top of barrel. Breach fired cannon with breech block present. Minor damage to pindle. Nice surfaces with only traces of verdigris. One of only 40 cannons that were reported on the El Cazador. The fact that the breech block is present is simply amazing. Cannon weighs 200+ pounds.

Lot# 1578 -1872 (1782) Mexico NCS 8 Reales, Transposed numbers Error dated 1872-FF (instead of 1782). KM-106.2, Carolus III, Mexico mint. otherwise unlisted. A lower grade specimen sold at CICF ‘06 for $10,350. Extremely Rare.

Lot# 1585 – * Reales. 1783-FF, KM 106.2 Carolus III, Mexico mint. FC-66, EL-93

. square letters, and especialy sharp reversesome corrosion, reverse tooling, small ancient circular obverse mark, lightly water affected, uneven blue-gray toning, and much lustre. Ch. AU-UNC

Lot# 1604 – Clustered coins “Clump”: Cracked but whole cannonball and “base” in which are embedded several 8 Reales sized coins. 2 parts. 4lbs, 4.5oz.

Sunken treasure is not the only rarity up for auction at Smythe. During the same week, the Oct. 31st sale #274 of Colonial and Historic Documents features 24 lots, including these two noteworthy treasures:

Lot# 2050 – Province of the Massachusetts Bay August 9, 1773. 500 Pounds. 5% Bond due 1775. Ornate border. Embossed seal. Signed by Samuel Adams, Thomas Cushing and James Pitts for Committee. Fold splits lightly taped on the back. It is endorsed on the reverse by the owner, and there is a notation that interest was paid in 1774. VF. ($15,000-25,000)

This bond is unlisted in Anderson. Only four of these bonds are known to exist, two of which have been sold by Smythe & Co. in previous auctions. This example was issued before the Revolutionary Era, when Harrison Otis Gray was still the colonial Treasurer. The bond was witnessed by James Pitts and Thomas Cushing, (1725-1788) Massachusetts merchant, member of the Continental Congress, speaker of the Colonial House etc. Signed by Samuel Adams (1722-1803) signer of the Declaration of Independence, Continental Congressman, Massachusetts Governor, early opponent of British rule and the Stamp Act. He engineered the election of John Hancock as head of the Patriot Party, and later became the governor of Massachusetts himself. This is an extraordinary piece.

Lot # – 2062 Legendary scout and Indian fighter Daniel Boone signs treasury warrant for the Commonwealth of Virginia December 22, 1781. #10201. Land-Office Treasury Warrant. 500 Acres/800 Pounds. Issued to and boldly signed on the reverse by Daniel Boone. Unlisted in Anderson. Fine, but with age tone. Broken folds have been expertly repaired. Ink is light with thin spot on verso of document. Uncancelled. ($10,000-20,000)

Daniel Boone (1735-1820), legendary scout, Indian fighter and folk hero. Boone is most famous for his explorations of the frontier, paving the way for the settlement of the West. In 1775 Boone trailblazed the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap and into Kentucky, founding Boonesborough. He served as a militia officer during the Revolution, defending the Western frontier. He was elected to three terms in the Virginia General Assembly. After the war Boone worked as a surveyor and merchant, but he went deep into debt as a land speculator. He lost much of his land because of squatters and conflicting claims. In 1799, frustrated with legal problems, Boone resettled in Missouri, where he died at the age of 85.

The one week, four auction marathon is not just limited to historical paper and shipwreck artifacts.
