A Herculaneum Pottery Robert Stephenson Commemorative Frog Mug, circa 1833-36, initialled RA and printed in black with Exchange Buildings & Nelson's Monument Liverpool and flanked by locomotives, titled THE NORTHUMBRIAN OF MESSRS R STEPHENSON and THE ROCKET OF MESSRS STEPHENSON & C, the interior with a bust portrait of Queen Adelaide and with two further prints titled CARRIAGES FOR PASSENGERS and THE NOVELTY OF MESSRS BRAITHWAITE & ERICSSON, a naturalistically modelled frog to the base, printed mark, 13cm high See Smith (Alan) The Illustrated Guide to Liverpool Herculaneum Pottery 1796-1840, pl.176 for a similar example. Stephenson's Rocket and Braithwaite & Ericsson's Novelty ran at the Rainhill Steam Trials on 6th October 1829. Of the five entrants, Stephenson's Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trial and was declared the winner. The Novelty was considerably faster than the other locomotives but a failed boiler pipe damaged the engine during the trial. Following the trial, the Northumbrian, built in 1830 and the last of Stephenson's Rocket-style locomotives, was then used at the opening of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.. The frog is missing his two front legs. The glaze is crazed all over with some light staining. There are four short hair cracks from the rim showing to the internal glaze only. 12.25cm high by 12.5cm diameter

Harry Schaare (New York, Arizona, 1922 - 2008) "Wiley Post in High Altitude Suit" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. Flying celebrated its golden age between the two World Wars. Hordes of enthusiastic amateurs entered government sponsored competitions, creating excitement for their barnstorming antics. During this period, Wiley Post, himself a young barnstormer, became determined to fly around the world. On June 23, 1931, Post and his navigator, Harold Gatty, left New York's Roosevelt Field in the Winnie Mae. This Lockheed Vega, powered by a 550 horsepower, supercharged Wasp engine, soared into the sky. The flight went smoothly through England, Germany and along the Trans-Siberian route to the USSR. Here, in the muddy airfield of Blagovyeschensk, the Winnie Mae bogged down. After wasting fourteen hours grappling with the plane, Post and Gatty were finally rescued by a detachment of American soldiers with a tractor. Dirty, but not damaged, the Winnie Mae once again soared through the sky. In Khabarovsk, USSR, the Winnie Mae was grounded for several hours while mechanics inspected the engine. Luckily, the Winnie Mae was in perfect running order, and the around-the-world flight continued. After eight days, fifteen hours and fifty-one minutes, Post landed his plane back at Roosevelt Field, establishing a new long-distance flying record that stimulated aeronautics throughout the world.

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "First Space Rendezvous" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media/Pencil painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the Mongolia 25th Anniversary of the Moon Landing stamps issued July 20, 1994. Piloted by Walter Schirra and Thomas P. Stafford, the Gemini 6 mission was intended to be the first-ever flight to make an actual rendezvous in space. The mission plan called for an Atlas-Agena rocket launched 101 minutes before Gemini 6 to act as a rendezvous target. On October 25, 1965, the two rockets, the Titan II carrying Gemini 6 and the Atlas bearing the Agena, were counted down simultaneously. The countdown went smoothly and the Atlas lifted off without a hitch. However, Mission Control soon lost contact with the Agena. NASA officials hoped that the Agena had simply suffered a transmitter failure. If that was the case, the Australian tracking station would pick it up via radar. But the message from Australia read "no joy, no joy" meaning nothing had been sighted. It was apparent the spacecraft's engine had failed and the small target vehicle had broken up. With nothing to rendezvous with, Gemini 6 was left sitting on the launch pad, its flight postponed indefinitely. Approximately five weeks later, however, Gemini 7 was launched and NASA decided that it would make the perfect rendezvous target for Gemini 6. Schirra and Stafford blasted off aboard Gemini 6 on the morning of December 15, and within seven hours were within 20 feet of Gemini 7. Photographs later revealed that the two spacecraft had come as close as two or three feet. The rendezvous was an amazing success. Image Size: 7 x 6 in. Overall Size: 11.5 x 9.25 in. Unframed.

John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "The Samson Locomotive" Signed lower right. Original oil painting on Illustration Board painting. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Canada 37c Samson stamp issued March 10. 1983. When the railways were first being built across the Canadian frontier, some people doubted the abilities of the great steam engines to climb the steep mountainsides, and to operate in the bitter Canadian winters. Most of these fears were unfounded. The steam locomotives brought all-weather travel with unprecedented speed and luxury. The trains hauled their bulky burdens to new markets, and increased Canadian commerce. One of the most memorable steam engines in Canadian history is the Samson -- the first locomotive in Canada. This great engine was built in 1836 by the Robert Stephanson Company in England. The Samson was acquired by the first railway in the Atlantic Provinces to haul coal between the Albion Mine and the docks at Pictou .. a distance of about six miles. She was capable of pulling thirty-two cars of coal up a steep hill ... and could haul up to four hundred tons of cargo on a level track! Samson was also the first coal burning engine in Canada, and the first to run over all iron rails. This historic locomotive hauled carloads of coal from the Albion Mine along the short six mile track for more than forty years. Exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, and at the Fair of the Iron Horse in Baltimore in 1927 as a remarkable machine ... the Samson is now preserved and on display at New Glasgow, in Nova Scotia, Canada.

John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "Ely's No. 10" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 29c Ely's No. 10 stamp issued July 28, 1994. "I do verily believe that carriages propelled by steam will come into general use, and travel at the rate of 300 miles a day." These words were spoken by Oliver Evans, creator of the Oruktor Amphibolus, a steam dredge he designed for the Philadelphia Board of Health in 1801. Evans was scoffed at when he proposed this innovative means of transportation, and further ridiculed when he suggested the possibility of a steam-powered railroad between Philadelphia and New York. Unfortunately, Evans died before seeing his dream fulfilled. However other inventors, such as English engineer George Stephenson, continued to pursue the notion of creating a steam locomotive. In 1814, he designed the Blucher, a "traveling engine" named after the Duke of Wellington's Prussian comrade-in-arms during the Battle of Waterloo. This invention was eventually followed by more advanced engines. And on September 27, 1825, Stephenson's expertise and ambition brought about the opening of the Stockton & Darlington, the world's first public railroad. Just four years later, across the Atlantic, America's very first steam locomotives were taking shape. By 1881, the railroad industry had become a major mode of transportation in the United States. This coalburning locomotive was considered to be the fastest and most-admired of its time. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 20 x 17.5 in. Unframed. (B14717)
Dean Ellis (American, 1920 - 2009) "Henry Ford" Signed middle right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for The Shapers of America series issued in 1987. Born on a farm in the midst of the Civil War, Henry Ford did not find his true profession until he began working with the internal combustion machine, chiefly "to lift farm drudgery off flesh and blood and lay it on steel and motors." He quickly discovered, however, that "people were more interested in something that would travel on roads, than in something that would do work on the farm." His first motor car was a two-seater buggy powered by a four horsepower gasoline engine, and was on the road in the Depression year of 1893. Depression or not, it caught the public fancy; soon thousands, then tens of thousands, were on the dirt roads, and soon the popularity of the new motor car led to a nationwide demand for paved highways. In the meantime, Ford tried his skills at building racing cars: these proved effective, but not profitable, and he returned to making a car so cheap that everyone could afford to own one. In 1908, he devised his most ingenious idea ... the ever-famous Model T which, by devising an assembly line technique, he was able to sell for less than four hundred dollars! The Model T was, or seemed, almost indestructible. The most typical American of all cars, the Model T was the first mass-produced assembly line car: the first car that everyone could afford. In its appearance and its character, it represented the symbol of American equality. Image Size: 18 x 21 in. Overall Size: 24 x 27 in. Unframed. (B10995)
John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "Steamboat Phoenix (1809)" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 25c Steamboat Phoenix stamp issued March 3, 1989. In the beginning of the steamboat era, two gentlemen by the names of Fulton and Livingston had a monopoly on steamboat operation in the New York area. John Stevens, Jr., a wealthy New Jersey inventor who had also been involved in steamboat development for many years, launched his own steamboat, the Phoenix, in defiance of the Fulton-Livingston monopoly of the area. Stevens worked his steamboat on the Hudson and in New Jersey waters for close to a year, and then decided to move her to the Delaware, far from Fulton-Livingston territory. It was a weighty decision, for it meant that the craft would have to steam through over 150 miles of open water. Nevertheless, the Phoenix put to sea, with Captain Moses Rogers as her master. Thirteen days later, after several delays due to bad weather and engine trouble, the Phoenix reached Philadelphia. The successful completion of her treacherous journey earned the little sidewheeler her place in American history. She was the first ocean-going steamboat in the world! Image Size: 8.75 x 12 in. Overall Size: 15 x 18 in. Unframed. (B11869)

A rare Battle of Britain Combat Report written in pencil by Flying Officer (Pilot) E.J. Willcox of 72 Squadron Royal Air Force and dated 15.8.40, the Report reads: On receipt of order to attack I selected an HE111 bomber & observed the rear gunner firing at me. As I was at a range of about 600 yds I put my bead a little above the rear gunner of the Heinkel. After a short burst I observed no more enemy fire from this machine. I closed to point blank range & fired at the port engine until a black smoke poured from it & the u/c dropped. I then transferred my attention to the starboard engine and fired until black smoke appeared & the E/A glided down toward the water. My windscreen was splashed with oil from the engines of the Heinkel. As I had expended all my ammunition I returned to base. signed EJ Wilcox F/O.
