David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Neil Armstrong" 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 Neil Armstrong Commemorative Cover. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong's immortal words were heard by approximately one fourth of the Earth's population as people worldwide tuned in on radios and televisions to experience this historic event firsthand. As the TV camera on the lunar module recorded Armstrong's movements against the Moon's dark shadows and blinding sunlight, his ghostly image was broadcast some 240,000 miles back to Earth. It was a also estimated that 850 foreign journalists, representing 55 countries, reported the story in 33 languages from Cape Kennedy and the control center in Houston. Some of the worldwide interest in the Moon landing was undoubtedly linked to the fact that many regarded it as the winning of a tightly-contested competition. Vying against the Soviet Union, America was viewed as the victor in the space race. Image Size: 18 x 21.5 in. Overall Size: 22.25 x 25.25 in. Unframed. (B05370)

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Mail Order Bride" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared in the Fleetwood Trails West Collection of Fine Art Prints as "Mail Order Bride" published in 1983. On March 8, 1899, a small Colorado District came of age as the State Legislature voted to create Teller County. The famous gold town of Cripple Creek, Colorado was designated as county seat. Not too many years earlier, Cripple Creek ... like so many other small settlements throughout the country ... was a quiet, almost sleepy, town. But when gold was discovered on a lower slope of neighboring Pike's Peak, the small town grew at a phenomenal rate as literally hundreds of prospectors and fortune seekers poured into the area. As is the case in most gold "boom towns," the vast majority of the Cripple Creek gold seekers were men. Consequently, one of the most scarce and desirable commodities throughout the entire area was eligible young women. This great female shortage brought out some of the most creative matrimonial exploits the West has ever seen. One young entrepreneur even went so far as to travel to the East Coast and recruit young women to relocate in the West ... promising them the natural beauties of the land and unlimited employment opportunities as school teachers and seamstresses. In reality, he was providing a Mail Order Bride service to the many men back home. Overall Size: 18 x 21 in. Unframed. (B07916)

Tom Lydon (American, B. 1944) "Timberline Lodge" Signed lower left. Original Chalk paper on Construction Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This piece was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Postal Card of the U.S. 14c Timberline Lodge issued September 28, 1987. Nestled 6,000 feet above the sea into the side of Mt. Hood, Oregon, is the historic Timberline Lodge. For 50 years, the Lodge has withstood 100-mile-an-hour winds, 30-foot snow drifts, and the tests of time, proclaiming itself a tribute to the pride of a people. During the Great Depression, many hard-working Americans suffered unemployment. In 1935, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was created to involve them in various construction projects to provide work and benefit the country. In Oregon, the idea of the Timberline Lodge was conceived. Laborers were paid 90? an hour and were provided a heated tent and three meals a day. Crews were rotated every two weeks. Meanwhile, artists and craftsmen toiled over handcrafted woodwork, ornaments, rugs, curtains, furniture fabric and spun copper ashtrays. Masons built the stone facade, and ironworkers crafted gates of lavish design. The result was so extraordinary that The Timberline Lodge was named a National Historic Landmark. Designed for recreation, some thirty million people have passed through her doors since 1937. On September 28, 1987, Timberline Lodge celebrated 50 years of pride, service and the ties which bind mountains and men. Image Size: 20 x 17.25 in. Overall Size: 23 x 19.75 in. Unframed. (B11218)

Ron Sloan (American, B. 1950) "U.S. Flag and Statue of Freedom" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 22c Flag Over Capitol coil stamp issued March 29, 1985. As it has for nearly two hundred years, the American Flag flies high above the stone and marble building of the United States Capitol. Countless hearts have been filled with pride at the site of this revered structure, for no other building -- not even the White House -- is more closely linked to the great strength and glory of the United States of America. It stands at the heart of America's democratic government ... and is the focal point of the resounding deeds, ideals, and aspirations of the American people. High atop the majestic Dome, the Capitol is crowned with a great bronze goddess known as the "Statue of Freedom." The work of American sculptor Thomas Crawford, the Statue is shaped as a classically robed woman holding a wreath resting on a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. Crawford had originally designed her as "Armed Liberty" with the soft feathered cap worn by freed Roman slaves, but changed her headdress to a helmet of eagle feathers after objections by Jefferson Davis. Molded in Crawford's Rome studio and later cast in bronze in a Washington foundry, Freedom was finally raised on to the Capitol Dome on December 2, 1863. The United States Flag, bearing thirty-five stars representing all the states of the Union -- both North and South -- fluttered overhead as spectators cheered. Today, the majestic Statue of Freedom still ennobles the Capitol's Dome. Image Size: 17.5 x 15.25 in. Overall Size: 25.25 x 19.75 in. Unframed. (B09456)

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 50c Liberation of Paris 1944 stamp issued August 25, 1994. The Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day was merely a prelude to the events that would follow. In the weeks to come, villages and cities across France were liberated from their German conquerors. But Allied planners at first intended to bypass Paris, instead proposing to continue pursuit of the German Army across France. Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower changed his mind, however, when informed that Hitler had ordered his forces in Paris to destroy the city. Fortunately, the German commander in Paris, Lieutenant General Dietrich von Choltitz, had no desire to ruin what he considered one of the world's most beautiful cities. Disobeying his orders, he arranged first for a truce with the French Resistance and later surrendered to Allied forces. Image Size: 15.5 x 25.5 in. Overall Size: 23.75 x 27 in. Unframed. (B14780)
