Sporting, Ephemera, & Historical Americana - February 21st
Merrill’s Auctioneers and Appraisers proudly presents an array of Historical Americana, including a remarkable 1758 French & Indian War powder horn signed by William Holden for John Trowbridge, commemorating the Siege of Louisbourg. This intricately carved artifact features King George’s head, deer, and an owl, reflecting its owners' military service. Also showcased is an exceptionally rare 1852 half-plate daguerreotype of four '49er gold miners—Daniel, David, and Adam Branthaver, and John Smith—captured at Grizzly Flats, California, with tools and a note documenting their impressive $100 daily earnings.
