- RARE RMS "TITANIC" POSTAL EPHEMERA,
RARE RMS "TITANIC" POSTAL EPHEMERA, APRIL 10, 1912 Original Part-Printed Facing Slip from the ship's on-board Post Office, with a good clear strike of the "Titanic" postmark of April 10, 1912 (five days before the ship sank): The British and American postal clerks aboard ship had the duty of sorting the mail during the passage. They used these slips in the process, with printed headings for common destinations - in this case, Brooklyn, NY - with pencilled number "2" indicating two items received aboard ship; also with handstamp of Oscar S. Woody, the responsible postal clerk. On the night of the wreck, Woody celebrated his 44th birthday with the four other clerks, the party cut short by the collision. They immediately began to haul the mail to the main deck to get it aboard the lifeboats. In the end, none of the mail was saved, and all of the clerks perished. Woody's body was recovered several days later, with a number of these facing slips in his pockets.

- NATIVE AMERICAN SENECA FALSE FACE MASK
NATIVE AMERICAN SENECA FALSE FACE MASK Circa 1900. Carved and painted wood, brass. Plate 13. The Iroquois reverently address the wooden Face used in their Midwinter and curing ceremonies as Grandfathers. Its twisted nose and mouth identify this Seneca brasswood and horsehair mask as the Grandfathers of all Grandfathers. It represents the Rim-Dweller, the great spirit at the edge of the world, whose face was permanently twisted in a collision of a moving mountain. Rim-Dweller is the patron of the curing faces worn to this day in traditional Iroquois rituals. The small image on the forehead is a miniature guardian mask.
