Flags of the 49 States, National Biscuit Co. Premiums
These individual metal tags that represent each state's flag came in boxes of cereal in 1959. Someone had taken the trouble to collect all 49 (at the time) states and apply them to this background of flag inserts. 20 1/4" wide by 16 3/4" high. All the states are present and in excellent condition. The tabs on the metal flags have not been bent but just inserted into the slots. The back of each flag gives a little state bio. The map board has been folded twice to quarter it for storage and was kept that way a long time but it's not ripped or torn, just creased in a few spots. Rare find in this condition. National Biscuit became Nabisco. Map is made by C. S. Hammond & Co. |

Measures 3/4 inch across, in good condition with light surface wear and a little rust spot on the front, has a bit of a dark spot on the inside back paper, likely some rust under the paper. Not your everyday find. |

Mitchel Wagman Original Art, Dreamscape, Oil Painting
Mitchel G. Wagman, Dreamscape, from 1965 as stated on the back. Oil on board. Signed on the front, lower left. Including the frame, the piece measures 25 1/2 inches by 11 1/2 inches. This was apparently a gallery piece at one time, my clue is the sticker on the back that was once on the front. Looks like it was originally offered at $200. This came from a Portland, Oregon local estate, the frame studio sticker on the back indicates Philadelphia. An unusual piece, very surreal.
The following piece from the Philadelphia Inquirer, August 22, 2002.
Mitchel G. Wagman | Artist, 79
Mitchel G. Wagman, 79, a noted abstract expressionist of the 1950s and '60s who owned several Rittenhouse Square art galleries, died Monday of a stroke at San Diego Hospice in San Diego.
He had been a resident of La Jolla, Calif.
Mr. Wagman, whose paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States, played an active role in the Center City art world for 25 years. In addition to creating art, he taught it and sold it, including at his Philadelphia Gallery on 18th Street. He was a founding member of Group 55, a coalition of visual and performing artists.
Mr. Wagman, who grew up in New York City, studied art in Paris after serving in the Army during World War II. He came to Philadelphia in the mid-1950s. He moved to California after retiring in 1982.
Mr. Wagman was an active supporter of Israel. His other interests included playing tennis and reading.
He is survived by daughters Michele Sokoloff and Andrea Wagman-Christian; a sister; and four grandchildren. His former wife, Laurie, from whom he had been divorced for many years, also survives.
Services will be held at 12:30 p.m. today at Goldsteins' Rosenberg's Raphael-Sacks, 310 Second Street Pike, Southampton. Burial will be in Roosevelt Memorial Park, Trevose.
We will need to charge a $25 handling fee on this piece for packaging in order to see that it gets where it is going. |

Early Mezzotint Print Signed E Stodart Stamped
An early Mezzotint that is signed on the lower right corner by E Stodart, I am unable to read the first name. The label on the back reads, Strawberries Scarlet Strawberries, for the title, after F. Wheatley R.A., pure mezzotint by E Stodart R.A. An interesting smaller piece measures about 6 inches by 8 inches including the frame. It looks like just a little browning on the edges of the print mat, it's stamped on the lower left with a JS. Depicts a maid selling strawberries. Nicely framed in an ebony and gold trim frame. Apparently around 1918. I have been doing a little more in-depth research on these mezzotints and I believe that the artist is Edward Jackson Stodart. His father, Edward William Stodart(England, 1841 - 1914), was a noted artist who did a good many fine stipple engravings. The date would correspond to the time of his son, Edward Jackson. I was able to locate an image on the net that was quite similar to these in style.
