David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Battle of the Bulge - Armor" Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 50c Battle of the Bulge 1944 - Armor stamp issued December 16, 1994. In the beginning, the Ardennes offensive went well for the German army. By December 17, General Hasso-Eccard von Manteuffel's forces had decimated the U.S. 110th infantry regiment outside Bastogne. U.S. General Troy H. Middleton responded by sending his reserve tanks to halt the Germans. Although they, too, were overwhelmed, their sacrifice prevented an early German breakthrough into Bastogne. On December 18, more reinforcements arrived. Tanks of the U.S. 3rd Army were joined by men of the 101st Airborne Division, commanded by Brigadier General Anthony C. McAuliffe. The beleaguered Americans formed a defensive arc around Bastogne. On December 26, General George Patton's tanks broke through the German lines and linked up with McAuliffe's men to turn the tide of battle. Image Size: 22 x 14.5 in. Overall Size: 27 x 23.75 in.

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Battle of Cape Esperance" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 50c Battle of Cape Esperance 1942 stamp issued October 11, 1992. The battle of Cape Esperance was one of several naval engagements between American and Japanese forces during their bitter struggle at Guadalcanal. The confrontation began when an American regiment, escorted by several warships, was sent to reinforce Allied positions on the island. The Japanese sent their own armada to counter the American move. Losses on both sides were light during the engagement, but the Japanese were able to reinforce their own positions on the island, raising the total number of troops there to 55,000 -- 22,000 Japanese against 23,000 Americans.

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Thomas Jefferson" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. In an historic explosion of genius, Thomas Jefferson gave birth to America's Declaration of Independence. In 1801, the gifted Jefferson became the young nation's third President. During his first term, he acquired the Louisiana Territory for America. Unfortunately, the accomplishments of his second term were overshadowed by his controversial Embargo Act of 1807 which curtailed trade with England and France. At age sixty-six, President Jefferson retired to concentrate his talents on building the University of Virginia, perhaps in his own mind his greatest accomplishment. On July 4, 1826 -- the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence -- Thomas Jefferson died. Image Size: 21.25 x 18.25 in. Overall Size: 27.25 x 24.25 in. Unframed. (B08207)
David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Major General William A. Anders, USAF" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood William A. Anders Commemorative Cover postmarked September 22, 1990. William Anders was born October 17, 1933, in Hong Kong, the son of a U.S. Navy officer. After attending school in San Diego County, California, he followed in his father's footsteps and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1955 with a degree in electrical engineering. From there, Anders entered pilot training in the U.S. Air Force, earned a Master's Degree in nuclear engineering and completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard University. NASA then selected Anders for the Apollo program in 1963. On December 21, 1968, astronauts Anders, Frank Borman and James Lovell became the first men to escape the Earth's gravity and orbit the moon aboard the Apollo 8 spacecraft. This mission brought to Earth its first close-up view of the lunar surface, the moon's far side and, perhaps most importantly, paved the way for man's first footsteps on the moon. Less than a year after this momentous mission, Anders served as back-up pilot for Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing. He later left NASA to serve in a number of prestigious positions in both the public and private sectors. Image Size: 18 x 21.25 in. Overall Size: 23.75 x 26.75 in. Unframed. (B12667)
David K Stone (Oregon, 1922 - 2001) "Japanese Land on New Guinea" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 29c Japanese Land on New Guinea 1942 stamps issued March 8, 1992. Seeking new territories to add to its East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Japan inched island by island toward its ultimate goal -- Australia. New Guinea, the second largest island in the world, loomed wide on Japan's covetous horizon as a possible launch site for its Australian campaign. On March 8, the invasion of New Guinea commenced. Amphibious landings on Huon Gulf's coastal airfields dispatched Japanese troops which moved toward Port Moresby, a southern outpost only 300 miles from Australia's northern coast. The Japanese met only token ground resistance but ultimately failed to achieve their goal. A bolstered Allied air and ground offensive ultimately ensured the reconquest of New Guinea and blocked Japan's territorial expansion in the South Pacific. Image Size: 15.5 x 24.75 in.

Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Moose" Signed lower left. Watercolor on Paper. 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. 13c Moose stamp issued June 10, 1978. Although drawings of the Moose were found in the cave drawings of the early Stone Age, the earliest known verbal description appears in Caesar's "Gallic War." Caesar reports that the Moose was hornless and that his legs had neither ankles nor joints. Therefore, they could not lay down. And once they fell, they could never get up again. To sleep, wrote Caesar, they simply leaned against a tree. Teutonic hunters would chip notches into these trees so that when the tired Moose tried to rest, both he and the tree would fall, thus becoming easy prey for the hunters. Whether this story is myth or not, nobody is sure. However, the tale is true to the extent that Moose do straddle long trunks, breaking them to obtain twigs, buds, and leaves from the soft parts of the tree. Later, the famous Roman naturalist, Plinius, stated that the Moose "had to graze backward because of his enlarged upper lip." This too, of course, is wrong. The Moose's upper lip is large, but this is an advantage, not a hindrance, for it allows him to strip leaves off branches. The short neck of the Moose makes it difficult for him to eat off the ground, but easy for him to feed from bushes or trees, where his favorite food is found. The Moose is best-known for its antlers -- among the most impressive in the entire animal kingdom -- which make him a prime game animal. Contrary to what many believe, Moose are not fierce animals, but are, in fact, quite shy. Image Size: 13.5 x 14.5 in. Overall Size: 20.25 x 23.25 in. Framed behind plexiglass. (B05052)
Mel Crawford (Canadian, B. 1925) "Australia" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media on Cold Press 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 U.N. 20c Australia Flags of the U.N. Series stamp issued September 21, 1984. A nursery song playfully describes the kookaburra of Australia: "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree ... merry merry king of the bush is he." And indeed, spying many of Australia's animal life, one would think that the creatures are out of a fairy tale. The kookaburra's "old gum tree" is probably the eucalyptus tree ... valued by the hardwood timber industry. The leaves of eucalypti provide oils useful both medically and industrially ... and form a major part of the diet of the koala. The koala, like most of the mammals of Australia, is a marsupial ... it bears live young, and then carries them in a pouch. Two exceptions to this rule are the echidna and platypus, egg-laying mammals known as monotremes ... and they are the world's only known monotremes. The creatures of Australia seem strange to the rest of the world, because the continent of Australia has been isolated from the rest of the world for over fifty million years. Another example of this difference is the Aborigines -- their name derived from the Latin ab origine, meaning from the beginning -- the first inhabitants of the continent. Currently, they are just a small minority of the nation, as this Stone Age people of simple nomadic hunters found it very hard to learn the ways of the modern Europeans who settled Australia just two hundred years ago. Today, the nation of Australia is quite remarkable, because it has grown from a primitive land into a modern, industrial country capable of competing well in international business.

Shannon Stirnweis (Arizona, New York, New Hampshire Oregon, B. 1931) "Ft. Chambly" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was oiginally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Canada 32c Fort Chambly stamp issued June 30, 1983. Canada's early history is in many ways the story of a small population struggling to carve a nation from a vast, unsettled wilderness. In those days, command of Canada's waterways often meant control of a territory. For this reason, nations vying for power over a territory would build forts along the rivers to protect their interests. Fort Chambly is one such fort. Built by the French along the left bank of the Richelieu River, Fort Chambly guarded French interests in the southern frontier. Construction on the fort began in 1665 by Jacques de Chambly, captain of a company in the Carignan Regiment, and the structure was first called Fort St. Louis. Originally the fort was a staked enclosure with a warehouse, barracks and a chapel. But, in 1709, after the Quebec military authorities ordered the fort's abandonment, the citizens of nearby Montreal protested and set out to rebuild the historic fort in stone. In 1711, the fort was finished and christened, Pontchartrain. But, despite the name change, people continued to call it Fort Chambly. In 1760, the fort was captured by the British, who manned the fort with a small garrison. Fifteen years later, in 1775, American forces easily overcame the British soldiers stationed at the fort. But the Americans abandoned the fortress only a year later. During the War of 1812, the fort served as an operational base on the Canadian side of Lake Champlain. In 1851, the fort was abandoned and ceded to Canada by the government of Great Britain. Image Size: 19.25 x 16.5 in. Overall Size: 23 x 20 in. Unframed. (B08160)
