Harry Schaare (American, 1922 - 2008) "Mary's a Grand Old Name - Yankee Doodle" Signed lower right. Oil on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. Playwright, songwriter, stage director, actor, dancer, producer -- George M. Cohan was all of these. For more than twenty years he was the Man Who Owned Broadway, a musical genius who set the style for the swift-moving American musical comedy of today. In his early years, Cohan trouped with his parents and sister as part of the renowned vaudeville act, The Four Cohans. By sixteen, he was known as vaudeville's child prodigy, with many songs published and sketches produced. At the age of twenty he was managing The Four Cohans, and at twenty-three he was a successful playwright, a bright light on Broadway's Great White Way. Broadway knew Cohan as a brisk and bounding young man who was forever waving Old Glory. His many stage hits -- Little Johnny Jones, Forty-five Minutes from Broadway, George Washington, Jr., and The Little Millionaire, to name a few -- brought him riches and fame beyond his wildest dreams. And, when asked late in his life for a summary of his career, he said in typical Cohanesque style out the side of his mouth, "No complaints, kid." Cohan was born on July 3, 1878, in Providence, Rhode Island. Image Size: 17.5 x 14 in. Overall Size: 18 x 15 in. Unframed. (B05160)

Arthur Singer (1917 - 1990) "Mockingbird and Magnolia" Signed lower right. Watercolor 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 20c Mississippi: Mockingbird and Magnolia stamp issued on April 14, 1982. Mockingbird - Mockingbirds start tuning up in late January and reach their vocal peak in spring, singing almost any hour of the day or night. The light of the rising moon often provides the cue for this bird's most rapturous song. Quiet during the August molt, they return to singing form in the fall. At this time the females deliver a soft but beautiful song, usually from the seclusion of a bush. Mockingbirds were sold as cage birds in the South, a practice which has been stopped. Today, the Mocker is a familiar sight around Mississippi's parks. When perched, this bird displays his gray back and white underparts. Magnolia - The Magnolia of the South is the most spectacular flowering tree in this country. Always green, and shaped like a pyramid, it may grow to a height of one hundred feet, with a trunk four feet thick. The long oval leaves are leathery and glossy. At the end of almost every branch the leaves form a green background for the immense white flowers, which often expand to a width of ten or twelve inches. The fragrant blossoms have six to twelve waxen petals and three sepals which look like extra petals. Magnolia trees bloom in spring and early summer, although a tree will sometimes produce a few beautiful flowers in the autumn. Image Size: 11.75 x 13.75 in. Overall Size: 17.5 x 19.5 in. Unframed.

Howard Koslow (American, 1924 - 2016) "North Carolina's Cape Lookout Lighthouse" Signed lower right. Acrylic 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. 37? Cape Lookout Lighthouse stamp issued June 13, 2003. War and the forces of mother nature have often worked against the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, however it has endured, and is still used today. In 1804 Congress authorized the lighthouse, but it wasn't actually built until 1812, even though it was desperately needed to aid ships navigating the treacherous Lookout Shoals. Often sailors complained that the original tower was too short and not bright enough, making it difficult and dangerous to find. Passage into Lookout Bight Harbor wasn't enhanced until 1859, when a new lighthouse was approved, completed and lit. Erosion washed away 1,000 feet of land between the lighthouse and Core Sound from 1940 to 1970, and today the wind and sea continue to bring the water closer to the tower. The existing Cape Lookout Lighthouse became automated and unmanned in 1950. And with today's advanced navigation systems, ships no longer rely on the security of a single light, blinking at intervals. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 20 x 18 in. Unframed. (B17062)

Zhan Jianjun (Chinese, B. 1931) "Morning Clouds Above the Stone Forest" Oil on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.This painting is an original unsigned oil on canvas by Zhan Jianjun that was commissioned directly by Unicover. Helmuth Stone Gallery and Wind River Studios both guarantee the authenticity of this piece.This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the China 10fen Morning in the Stone Forest stamp issue of September 18, 1981.The sculptured summits of the Stone Forest, flushed with the rosy light of dawn, echo the simple philosophy with which the Chinese come to terms with life: to take life as it comes. Here in the sanctuary of the Stone Forest, the benediction of a quiet sunrise encourages this tranquil view of life. Surrounded by the green woods and lush mountain plateaus of Yunnan Province, the Stone Forest area reveals many colorful facets of Chinese life. The mainstay of the economy is agriculture, practiced by farmers in community farms. Those hardy men and women are experts in bringing forth crops from the soil, through their intimate closeness with nature and centuries of experience planting rice in terraced fields. Richly blessed rivers and lakes fill the fishermen's hold with the daily catch; thus fishing ranks as an important activity in Yunnan. One of the richest provinces in China, its natural resources are boundless. And yet, industry, too, has taken a prime role in its economic life. China treasures its youth, and children are seen in schools and playgrounds everywhere in Yunnan. The people have a predilection for dance and song; their diverse folk costumes are brightly adorned with ornaments and decorations of brass and shells. The infinite patience of the Chinese and their fine aesthetic sense is everywhere evident in the Yunnan Province, just as the morning glow of the Stone Forest, depicted in this artwork, reflects the timeless beauty of China's most unusual natural wonder.Sight Size: 27.5 x 23.5 in. Overall Size: 28.25 x 24 in. (B07308)

John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "African Fish Eagle" Signed lower right. Oil 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. 13? Official Mail stamp issued January 12, 1983. Myths, man's earliest answers to the mysteries of the unknown, are fraught with the image of the powerful and noble eagle. For example, the mythological Ai Toyon, creator of light, took the form of a huge, radiant two-headed eagle, perched at the very tip of the "world tree." In addition, people of ancient Siberia believed that the gods sent an eagle to teach heaven's secrets to mankind. Unfortunately, humans failed to understand the fierce bird's screams. Discouraged, but not dissuaded from his mission, the bird plummeted from the sky and picked up a woman in his talons. Later, from their union, was born the first human intermediary between earth and heaven, the first shaman. These are just two of many enchanting examples of eagles in mythology. It is a compelling legacy and one that lives on in the modern world as men and nations take the eagle as their noble emblem. The elegant African Fish Eagle appears in this artwork. This bird is a reminder of the beauty and grace of the world's eagles. Image Size: 18 x 15.5 in. Overall Size: 23.75 x 20 in. Unframed. (B07845)

Robert Seabeck (American, B. 1945) "1909 Model T Touring Car" Signed lower left. Mixed Media on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 60? 1909 Model T Touring Car stamp issued June 4, 1996. In 1908 Henry Ford produced the first Model T, a sputtering, backfiring contraption that would soon put America on wheels. The first Model T originally sold for $850, but once Ford got his assembly line working to perfection, adapting techniques employed by the meat packing industry, the price dropped dramatically. By 1913 Ford's Detroit plant was assembling 1,000 Model T's daily and by 1924, Americans could buy a new Ford for an amazing $290! "I am going to democratize the automobile," Ford said, "and when I'm through, everybody will be able to afford one." Affectionately dubbed the "Tin Lizzie," the Model T was light, durable, simply constructed and easy for any backyard mechanic to work on. Best of all, it had an exceptionally high clearance that enabled it to maneuver on or off America's country roads, which at that time were little more than rugged, rutted trails that turned to rivers of mud during a hard rain. Still, Ford's stubborn refusal to improve the Model T would eventually result in its demise, as he insisted there would be "no new models, no new motors, no new bodies, and no new colors." By the late 1920s, as Americans came to prefer style and comfort in their automobiles, the Model T's popularity diminished. But because of the extraordinary "Tin Lizzie," America would never be the same again. Image Size: 8 x 12.25 in. Overall Size: 15 x 22.5 in. Unframed. (B15413)

Magic Comic (1939) 1-5. With Magic comic promotional flyer for No 1 (an 8pg mini comic in its own right) and Little Squirty original artwork by Chick Gordon for Magic No 2. Introducing Koko the Pup by E.H. Banger and Peter Piper by Dudley Watkins. No 1 has a 1" x 2" top back cover piece missing and a 3" horizontal tear [vg], 2 [fn-], 3, 4 [vg], 5 [vfn-], Flyer [vfn]. All have cream/light tan pages (7) NB The third comic title to come out of the DC Thomson stable after Dandy and Beano, Magic only ran for 80 issues until 1941 before falling victim to wartime paper and dyestuff shortages. To our knowledge less than fourteen copies of No 1 exist and even fewer of Nos 2-5. In the auctioneer's opinion this is an unrivalled opportunity to acquire these first five issues in one fell swoop along with the scarce Magic No 1 promotional Flyer and a rare piece of original Chick Gordon artwork.
