Charles A Knotek (American, 1933 - 2008) "First U.S. Airship First Flight" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media Painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for the Man's Conquest of the Heavens series issued in 1983. In the late afternoon of September 4, 1923, fifteen thousand spectators gathered excitedly at Lakehurst Naval Air Station to witness the first flight of the first "Made in USA" rigid airship. The ZR-1 -- as the Navy designated her -- was 680 feet long, 78.7 feet in diameter and had a gas volume of 2,115,174 cubic feet in twenty gas cells. Interestingly, the lifting agent chosen was the non-inflammable gas, helium -- the first time in the history of aviation it had been used. On the appointed day, a handling crew of 450 sailors and marines walked the fantastic ZR-1 out of the hangar without a hitch -- remarkable in view of the fact that they had never moved an airship before. From there, a crew of about thirty men took over, each with specific duties for the flight. As the crowd watched in awe, the gigantic ship lifted off at 5:45 p.m. Moving rather sluggishly because of the heavier weight of helium as opposed to the more familiar hydrogen, the ZR-1 used only four engines at half power at a time. The flight was so quiet that even at 200 feet, the bells in the engine cars -- operated by the engine telegraphs -- could be heard from the ground. After covering a distance of about twenty miles, the ZR-1 headed back to the station arriving at 6:45. A few weeks later, she was christened the Shenandoah, an American Indian name popularly translated as "Daughter of the Stars." Image Size: 13 x 16.25 in. Overall Size: 17 x 20 in. Unframed. (B98620)
J. Craig Thorpe (American, B. 1948) "Alaska Locomotive" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which appeared on the Fleetwood Legendary Locomotives of the 50 States Alaska Commemorative Cover postmarked August 15, 1995. August 15, 1900, marks the completion of Alaska's first rail route -- the White Pass & Yukon Railway. Construction of the 110-mile circuit between Skagway, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, began on May 27, 1898. The following July, an excursion train ran for four miles out of Skagway, and a year later the line extended to Bennett, British Columbia. In August 1900, at a cost of about $10 million, the entire railway was finally completed. A river division was established in 1901, connecting mining towns to the line by steamship. An aviation division was added in 1937 to fly passengers north of its northernmost stop at Whitehorse. When America entered World War II, the White Pass & Yukon was pressed into service by the U.S. Army. Vital to the construction of the Alcan Highway and to the movement of military cargo, the line saw traffic rise to a level far beyond any seen during the mining booms. Eventually, additional locomotives were brought in from across the country to meet the demands of the increased service. On May 1, 1946, the White Pass & Yukon returned to civilian use. The completion of a highway parallel to the railway, and reduction in output of the Anvil Mine in the Yukon Territory, brought the line to a close on October 8, 1982, although a portion of it has been reactivated for tourist service. Shown here is White Pass & Yukon's No. 1, a 2-6-0 type built by the Brooks Locomotive Works in 1881. Today, this engine is on display in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 18 x 15 in. Unframed. (B15152)
J. Craig Thorpe (American, B. 1948) "Indiana Locomotive" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which appeared on the Fleetwood Legendary Locomotives of the 50 States Indiana Commemorative Cover postmarked March 31, 1995. "My first dream as a Hoosier boy was to ride away on the Monon toward the Heaven-piercing spires of Lafayette or Michigan City." Indiana humorist George Ade penned comments such as these to accompany the delightful cartoons of John T. McCutcheon that appeared on the elaborate menus used on the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville (CI&L or Monon) route. Its trains served Indiana as well as Kentucky and Illinois, yet its 618 miles of trackage were located entirely within the Hoosier State. Incorporated as the CI&L on March 31, 1897, "Indiana's own railroad" was a conglomeration of several lines. In 1911, the CI&L introduced the Hoosier Limited, which ran between Indianapolis and Chicago. The following year the Red Devil -- an all-sleeping-car train -- was created to carry passengers between the Windy City and the Indiana resort town of French Lick. Other special trains carried riders to the Kentucky Derby and the Indianapolis 500 Speedway races. Although ridership on the Monon remained strong for many decades, the predominance of the automobile and the advent of the interstate highway ultimately led to the demise of its passenger service in 1967. Shown here is CI&L's engine No. 301, pictured at Gosport, Indiana's unusual 1850-vintage station with its portal door for indoor freight-car unloading. This 4-4-2 type engine was built by the American Locomotive Company. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 18 x 15 in. Unframed. (B14999)
Basil Smith (British, B. 1925). "John Deere Tractor Model D 1929" Signed lower left. Original Water Color painting on Hot Press Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood Maximum Card for the U.S. 7.1c John Deere Tractor stamp issued May 26, 1989. Before 1870, almost all farm work was done by hand. With the advent of the "traction engine" during the 1870's, however, the farmer's burden began to ease. The "traction engine" was the first tractor -- a large awkward steam-driven machine was soon replaced by a smaller, more practical tractor with a kerosene-powered engine mounted on a four-wheeled frame. Then in the 1920's the all-purpose tractor was developed. The forerunner of today's tractor, this machines only shortcoming was that it was usually manufactured in only one model or size, with no frills and no extras. In comparison, tractors now come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, with a list of available options that would make any automobile owner envious. Options to enhance speed, power, and operational ease are only the beginning. Air conditioning, the best in stereo equipment -- even a television, telephones, or refrigerators are common features of the modern tractor. Though farming is still hard work, today's farmer has certainly come a long way from the toil of the past! Image Size: 6.5 x 9.25 in. Overall Size: 9.75 x 12.25 in. Unframed. (B12052)
Basil Smith (British, B. 1925). "1913 Mercedes Automobile" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Hot Press Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. A European car manufacturer world-renowned for the exquisite styling and performance of its products is the legendary Mercedes-Benz. The establishment which today enjoys the highest popularity and appeal with car owners began with two men tinkering with an engine which would never be practical. Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler were working independently on gas-powered engines ... until August Otto developed the four-stroke principle for gasoline engines which finally made them reasonable. Emil Jellinek, a wealthy admirer of Daimler automobiles and one of Daimler's directors, convinced the company to build a high-performance car. The new car was named after Jellinek's daughter, Mercedes, and it first appeared in the Nice Time Trials of 1901 ... and took everyone by surprise. The overwhelming success of the Mercedes encouraged Daimler to adopt the name for the company's private cars. Nine years later, in 1911, Mercedes received official registration for its famous three-pointed star as a trademark -- and has employed it ever since. Ferdinand Porche became chief designer for Mercedes in 1923 ... and in 1926, Karl Benz amalgamated his company with Daimler's, forming Mercedes-Benz. The first cars to be produced under the new name with the tutelage of three great automobile men -- were a great success. An early Mercedes model became the sports model K. From this model, a very successful range of cars were developed. Image Size: 6 x 7 in. Overall Size: 9 x 10 in. Unframed. (B07818)
