This example came in to the possession of Capt. J. H. B. Jewitt, MBE, during his service in France in the Second World War. Thence by descent. Joseph Henry Brown Jewitt (1903 - 1987) joined the British Army at an early age, the majority of his career served in India. In 1938 he retired with the rank of Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant and joined the Army Reserve. Upon the outbreak of War in 1939, Jewitt was recalled to the British Army and commissioned as a Lieutenant in the 52nd Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery. Initially posted with the British Expeditionary Force in France, he was evacuated at Dunkirk with his regiment, who, in recognition of his services at Dunkirk, presented him with an inscribed cigarette box. After regrouping, Jewitt was posted to the Middle East, where the regiment served in Persia and North Africa, then moving on to Italy. Jewitt was Mentioned in Dispatches twice, and awarded the MBE for his work in re-equipping the regiment whilst in Italy, in a very short space of time. His final rank upon leaving the British Army in 1945 was as Captain Quartermaster. On his return to civilian life, Jewitt wore this wristwatch extensively, using a local watch repairer for its servicing and maintenance. Upon his death in 1987 the wristwatch was retired from use, and has not been worn since.

Buckskin Hunting Shirt or Frock with Quillwork, ca. 1840s-1850s Early American, frontier hunting shirt or frock of buckskin leather, embellished with polychrome, quillwork decorative motifs. Quillwork style suggests a northern Plains origin, possibly Minnesota Sioux. The cut, style and trimming of the coat would suggest that it was made in the 1840s or 1850s. Although likely native American-made, the cut would suggest a traditional white man's form of hunting frock in use during this time period. The breast is made to button closed with flat brass buttons of, each back is marked. "Coin" buttons of this sort were commonly produced both in England and later America during the period 1810-1840 and can be found on numerous archaeological sites of this period. The buttons are attached and "stayed" to the breast by running the shanks through a lace, which it whipstiched to the inside of the coat body and covered over with an innerfacing or partial lining down the breast front of a plaid, woolen material. This material was a type commonly procured by the United States Army in the 1840s and 1850s for various uses, including lining soldiers' uniform jackets (there are extant examples of uniforms produced at Schuykill Arsenal using this lining material and it is also listed in supply inventories). The Army was also responsible for overseeing the Indian Agencies during this period and this material was also procured for use at the Indian "factories" or trading posts. The hunting frock show considerable usage during the period, with wear and staining as to be expected, including fading and abrasion to the polychrome quillwork. Rare. Provenance: private Western collection until c. 1998; purchased by the city of Harrisburg, PA for a proposed Wild West Museum; deaccessioned and sold in 2013; private collection to present.
