WW1 US Army BAR Magazine Belt, Long 1918
Web belt has 6 pouches for BAR magazines which I believe is the 2nd assistant gunner belt. One side is marked Long 7-18 and the other is Long 8-18. Shows use and has an oil stain on the back of one side but still displays well. Couldprobably be washed out if you wanted but I always leave things alone. Overall a nice example. $95.00WW1 US Naval Gun Factory Optical Shop Binoculars and Case

An very interesting and unique piece that I found at a local estate sale many years ago. This 7" x 13" wooden cutout Uncle Sam was a give away premium from a furniture and carpet store in Stillwater, MN and dates from at least WW1 and possibly as early as the Spanish American War. It has a small match holder and looks to also have had cords to suspend a calendar from. It came with an original period matchbox. I was surprised to find a locket of hair, ribbon and dried flowers inside. This was usually a keepsake from a deceased loved one which was common in the early days. Because of the period of the box it's possible this was a victim of the influence (just an theory). I'm sure we'll ever know for sure, but I kept the items together as I found them and the estate had no additional information on them. Only one of these I've ever seen. $195.00WW1 US Army Shaving Mirror in Khaki Pouch
Nice personal item for your doughboy display. $35.00WW1 Colonel John Quekemeyer Signed Letter and Archive, General Pershing's Aide De Camp
Very unique archive with correspondence and photos between Gen. Pershing's Aide De Camp, Col. John Quekemeyer and artist Douglas Volk. Volk was commissioned to paint Pershing's portrait for the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Includes signed letter on Quekemeyer's AEF letterhead to Volk, Original US Signal Corps photograph of General Pershing on horseback with Quekemeyer on horseback behind him. Quekemeyer is the middle officer with moustache. Also in the group are 2 carbon copies of letters sent to Quekemeyer by Volk requesting the loan of one of Pershing's uniforms and trying to arrange sittings with the General, also several very interesting photos of Volk at work on Pershing's portrait and 3 candid photos of Pershing posing for his portrait. Col. Quekemeyer was a brilliant officer and cavalry horseman who sadly died of pneumonia in 1926. Makes you wonder what role he would have played in WW2 had his life not been cut short. No doubt he would have seen high command. Seldom seen material. $195.00
