Abraham Lincoln Personally Used Pen, Owned by Lincoln as President During the Civil War — With a COA From University Archives

Extraordinary collectible from the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln, a personally owned and used pen by Lincoln, given to him during his service as President. Steel-nib fountain pen, lightly worn from use, is evocative and notable for the gold-colored star pattern upon its barrel, calling forth the patriotic Union sentiment at the heart of the Civil War, clearly intended to inspire the President and reminding him of the War’s noble and patriotic purpose.

Pen has been identified as part of a set inherited by Mary Edwards Brown, Mary Todd Lincoln’s grandniece who famously served as Custodian of the Lincoln Homestead in Springfield, Illinois. The pen is listed as one of the items in a 2 May 1925 notarized affidavit signed by Brown as number ”15. Penholder set, property of Abraham Lincoln”, a copy of which accompanies the pen. This affidavit was created by Brown to accompany the sale of the pen to Richard Hagen of Friends of the Lincoln Shrines, whose 1958 notarized affidavit copy also accompanies the pen, created when it was sold to noted Lincoln dealer King Hostick; affidavit reads in part: ”the antique pen holder set…is the one and same pen holder set described in a notarized affadavit dated 2nd May, 1925, and signed by Mary Edwards Brown. I further certify that this pen holder, containing 2 pens, a letter opener, and a scraper, was purchased by me as agent of Friends of the Lincoln Shrines, from Mary Edwards Brown”. Finally the pen is accompanied by the original handwritten note by Mary Edwards Brown reading, ”Desk set of pen holders pencil scraper etc. given to Abraham Lincoln while President of U.S.” This note has been authenticated by University Archives as written by Brown and matching the writing on her 1925 affidavit; the 1925 affidavit was provided by Daniel Stowell, former director of the Papers of Abraham Lincoln Project. University Archives COA also accompanies the lot validating the authenticity of the pen as originally owned by Abraham Lincoln and as one of the pens in the set described in the three documents.

Pen (not including ink cartridge) measures 7.25” long. Light scratching to the nib from use, and some light rubbing to the barrel. Overall in near fine condition, an evocative piece from Abraham Lincoln, likely used for importance during the Civil War. Sold for $41,250.

Large 40-Star Flag From 1889, Signifying North and South Dakota as States — Flag Measures Nearly 10′ x 6′

Large 40-star United States flag, denoting entry of the Dakotas into the Union. As North and South Dakota were added on the same day of 2 November 1889, the U.S. flag immediately jumped from 38 to 40 stars. The 40 star flag, however, was only in effect for six days, as Montana was added on 8 November. Large sewn flag measures 9’7” x 5’10” with the stars measuring approximately 5” each. Body of flag is a coarse linen fabric, with the hoist made of canvas punctuated by four grommets. The canton at upper left is constructed of two 18” pieces of bunting sewn together. A few small holes throughout, and light soiling. Edge has been hemmed, likely from wind damage. Overall very good condition. A rare, sewn 19th century period flag from the Dakotas. Sold for $7,500.

13-Star U.S. Naval Flag for the Brig Rival, Likely an English Blockade Runner Captured During the Civil War

Large 13-Star U.S. naval flag for the Brig Rival, likely an English merchant ship captured during the Civil War by the U.S. Navy. In 1850 the U.S. Navy adopted the 13-star flag for use on their smaller boats, and then added a number system in 1863 to designate boat size; this flag doesn’t have an additional number, dating it to sometime between 1850-1863. Although U.S. naval records don’t show the existence of a ”Rival” ship, an English merchant ship named Rival was in operation in the mid-19th century transporting goods from the Americas to England. Many of these English merchant vessels ran goods to the South during the war, and it’s likely that Rival was one of the 350 plus blockade runners captured by the U.S. Navy, and subsequently put to use during the Civil War. Large mainmast-sized wool flag measures 5′ 1” x 11′ 6”, with the 13 linen stars hand sewn in a 4-5-4 horizontal pattern. Two holes are sewn at the top and bottom of hoist, upon which ”BRIG RIVAL” is written in ink. A 19th century metal tag reading ”3154.L” also appears. Flag shows considerable wear from use on the high seas, and likely from military action with part of the fly portion missing and numerous holes throughout. Originally owned by the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco. Sold for $10,000.
