- A Brewmaster's Porcelain Occupational
A Brewmaster's Porcelain Occupational Shaving Mug
Circa 1917-1920
bearing the name H. H. Gilson in gilt lettering and depicting a man holding a glass of beer and and brewer's trade emblem.
underside marked T & V / Limoges / France.
Height 3 1/2 inches.
The crest is identified to the International Union of United Brewery Workmen of America, founded in 1886 as the National Union of United Brewery Workers.
Through the early twentieth century, membership was comprised primarily of German immigrants and, for many years, the union's publications were issued exclusively in German. The name was changed in 1917 and was changed again just three years later to the International Union of United Brewery, Flour, Cereal and Soft Drink Workers of America, likely in the wake of Prohibition, as it operated until 1973 when the union merged with the Teamsters.

Height 3 5/8 inches.
Amos Alonzo Stagg (1862-1965) was perhaps the most influential figure in the history of collegiate athletics. Having coached and contributed to the development of multiple sports, his legacy remains primarily with football and basketball. The legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne once said that "all football comes from Stagg." He is enshrined in two Halls of Fame, and the NCAA Division III football championship is known as the Stagg Bowl.
Stagg's football career began at Yale University, where he was selected to the first Football All-American team as a player in 1889. The following year, he began his football coaching career at Springfield College (1890-1891), where James Naismith, later famous as the inventor of basketball, played under him.
Stagg's most significant contributions to football occurred during his forty-one-year tenure as head coach of the University of Chicago (1892-1932). Under his guidance, Chicago became known as a football powerhouse during the first quarter of the twentieth century, winning seven Big Ten championships (1899, 1905, 1907, 1908, 1913, 1922, and 1924). In addition to his football duties, he also coached track, baseball, and basketball and is credited with helping to organize the Big Ten Conference. In 1912, the year identified on this mug, the Maroons finished second in the Western Conference with a 6-1 record and outscored all their opponents.

Sculpted bronze cabinet, Paul Evans Studio
1972
Wood, epoxy overlay, applied bronze composition
77 1/2" x 24" x 24"
Signed "PE 72" to the underside. The two-door cabinet contains hidden handles on front and opens to reveal a mirrored bar with three glass shelves above a lower sliding two-door compartment. The interior is lighted from the top.
The cabinet was reviewed and authenticated by Dorsey Reading, Evans' primary studio collaborator, who stated that Paul Evans Studio produced only approximately 25 cabinets of this type. The signed letter of authentication will be included with the cabinet.
To our knowledge, only four examples have been offered at auction in the last 50 years and each one was unique in it's detailing.

Condition
The sculpted exterior is in good condition, noting a horizontal hairline around the base and a 1/2" flake along the bottom of the cabinet on the left side. The interior mirrors show some signs of aging. There is a translucent plastic light diffuser at the top of the interior which is warped due to heat proximity. The lighting is tested and working, noting one area of the wiring reinforced with electrical tape.
