General Henry W. Halleck<br />

M.O. HALLOCK<br />

FAMILY<br />

COLLECTION, PLUS ADDITIONS<br />

THE M.O. H<br />

FRIDAY, , SEPTEMBERS<br />

EPTEMBER 2, 2011 BEGINNING AT 2:00 P.M.<br />

I<br />

t is appropriate that Macy O. Hallock collected Civil War firearms, as he was a<br />

relative of Civil War General Henry W. Halleck (the family name has been spelled<br />

different ways over the generations). Of course, Hallock collected more than<br />

just guns—a 1940 newspaper article written about him describes some of his<br />

“25 collections,” including American Indian relics (his primary passion), as well<br />

as smoking pipes, fossils, buttons, coins, and much more.<br />

A dealer as well as a collector, Hallock and his wife, Clara, exhibited at many<br />

antique shows in the Midwest in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, often in period costume<br />

portraying Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. It wasn’t long before Macy’s son,<br />

also named Macy, joined the game, helping his father drive to and from shows,<br />

setting up their booths, and of course, selling all manner of antiques. Today, the<br />

tradition continues as the children and grandchildren of the younger Macy travel<br />

with their father and grandfather to shows. These days, however, the family’s<br />

focus is principally on Civil War firearms, edged weapons, and accoutrements.<br />

Although you will still likely see them at shows and auctions (one never really<br />

retires in this business), the Hallock family has decided to begin dispersing their<br />

multi-generational collection. Garth’s is honored to have been enlisted to<br />

help in this process, starting with approximately 200 lots in our Annual<br />

Labor Day Weekend Auction in this, the 150th year after the start of<br />

the American Civil War.<br />

146A<br />

CIVIL WAR ALS FROM MAJOR GENERAL<br />

HENRY W. HALLECK.<br />

Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, dated April 22,<br />

1862, to Major General John Pope. 1 page,<br />

front and back. Imperfections.<br />

A West Point graduate, Halleck (1815-1872)<br />

was an astute military scholar and<br />

administrative officer, but was somewhat<br />

lackluster as a field officer. He spent the<br />

early part of the war in the western theater,<br />

during which time he oversaw the actions of<br />

his future commander, General Ulysses S.<br />

Grant. Following the bloodbath at Shiloh in<br />

April of 1862, Halleck took over operations,<br />

culminating in the Siege of Corinth,<br />

Mississippi. The present letter represents<br />

Halleck’s orders for General Pope as the<br />

Armies of the Tennessee, the Ohio, and the<br />

Mississippi maneuvered against Confederate<br />

forces at Corinth. While Halleck was<br />

effective at capturing the important railroad<br />

town, his campaign was considered tedious<br />

and ineffective, especially given the talented<br />

Union officers present. Shortly thereafter,<br />

Lincoln called Halleck to Washington to<br />

assume the position of General-in-Chief of<br />

the Union armies, a post which he held until<br />

Grant took command in 1864.<br />

THE<br />

MEDICAL<br />

COLLECTION<br />

OF<br />

DR. & MRS. ROBERT MEGNA<br />

PLUSLUS ADDITIONS


THEHE MEDICAL<br />

COLLECTION<br />

OF<br />

DR. & MRS. ROBERT MEGNA<br />

Energetic, bright, engaged and direct, Bridget & Bob Megna's<br />

spirited approach to everything they do is at once refreshing and<br />

a little intimidating – but, not for long. Their warm and friendly<br />

demeanor instantly puts one at ease, and the dedication and<br />

enthusiasm for their collections is contagious. When I asked what<br />

shaped their buying decisions, Bridget said (with a chuckle), “I'm<br />

not sure we had any criteria – we just loved the stuff. Really, we<br />

loved the stuff.” Taking stock of the medical collection, displayed<br />

in their historic home outside Dallas, Texas, one could quickly<br />

conclude that at least two forces were guiding their buying: form<br />

and history. Bridget admits to being attracted by the whimsical<br />

and unusal; the good doctor was all about research and history.<br />

It was a great combination that began on the streets of New<br />

Orleans during a medical convention twenty years ago, when the<br />

young married couple bought their first antique stethoscope.<br />

The journey and hunt that ensued took<br />

them to auctions and shops all over the<br />

world. Trips weren't always planned<br />

around shopping for their collection –<br />

but, on every trip, they found<br />

themselves looking. From the streets<br />

of London to rural roadsides in Texas,<br />

they methodically built a collection<br />

that is at once fascinating and<br />

simple in its focus. We are so<br />

pleased for the opportunity to<br />

know the Megnas, and feel<br />

honored to have been selected<br />

to represent their collection.<br />

VIRGINIA BARE<br />

February 18, 1925 – June 11, 2011<br />

It's no wonder Virginia Bare considered red<br />

her signature color. After all, red is the color of love,<br />

and Virginia loved deeply: her family, her friends, her<br />

antiques, and her houses. Over 50 years, Virginia<br />

traveled throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and New<br />

England, often with her dear friend, Sam Forsythe<br />

or beloved daughter, Julie, seeking old and beautiful<br />

objects to sell in her shop or enjoy in her home.<br />

She read voraciously and became a trusted and<br />

knowledgeable resource on everything from redware<br />

to glass to furniture. Passionate and tireless in her<br />

dedication to the things she loved, Virginia always<br />

had time for one more joke, one more great find,<br />

and one more old house that needed to be restored.<br />

She is remembered as the epitome of class and<br />

integrity and her easy laugh and warm smile will<br />

be missed by those who loved and admired her.<br />

WILLIAM R. DENNISON, JR.<br />

January 31, 1918 – February 4, 2011<br />

Bill Dennison bought his first antique in the<br />

early 1950's when he saw through a white<br />

painted surface to the beautiful form of a<br />

cherry one-drawer stand. The thrill of that find<br />

would drive a passion for form and craftsmanship<br />

that spanned more than 60 years. With his wife,<br />

Catherine, Bill scoured shows, shops and auctions<br />

throughout western Pennsylvania and Ohio – keeping<br />

company with some of the best known dealers<br />

and collectors in the 1970's. His military and law<br />

backgrounds instilled an appreciation and drive for<br />

scholarship; and he educated himself by reading<br />

hundreds of books on antiques and art. But the true<br />

drive behind his buying decisions was the old adage,<br />

“buy what makes you smile.”<br />

Virginia Bare and Bill Dennison attended many auctions in the barn at <strong>Garth's</strong><br />

over the past 50 years. Some of the items they purchased in this saleroom are<br />

coming back across the block now....like old friends, we are happy to see them<br />

again. We appreciate our shared history, and their family's trust in <strong>Garth's</strong>. <strong>Garth's</strong><br />

team is privileged to represent their collections in this auction.<br />

GARTH’S POLICY<br />

GUARANTEE:<br />

Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. continues to be committed to providing thorough descriptions that reflect our belief in service through honesty, integrity and<br />

attention to detail. Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. guarantees the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalogue description, with the<br />

exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. “Origin” is defined as the creator, period, culture,<br />

or source, as set forth in the first bold line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions – Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, Garth’s<br />

<strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Garth’s does not guarantee the<br />

authenticity of any item created before 1500. Regarding all jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. Regarding colored<br />

stones: purchasers are reminded that colored stones and diamonds may be enhanced by using one or more techniques, including but not limited to:<br />

clarity enhancements, resins, and heat treatment. Garth’s makes no warranty express or implied to the buyer as to whether a natural stone has been<br />

enhanced. Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is<br />

to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points<br />

regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of<br />

authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold “as is”.<br />

BUYING FOR OUR ACCOUNT:<br />

The owners and employees of Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. never have, nor ever will buy any item at our auction for ourselves.<br />

LIABILITY:<br />

Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. guarantees the authenticity of origin of a lot for a period of twenty-one days from the date of the auction and only to the original<br />

purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>.’s satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded<br />

provided the lot is returned to Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>.’s<br />

policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser’s expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually<br />

acceptable to Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. and the purchaser, before Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee.<br />

The purchaser’s sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase<br />

price and premium paid by the purchaser. Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen.<br />

WITHDRAWN LOTS:<br />

Garth’s Auction, <strong>Inc</strong>. reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of the property.<br />

SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS:<br />

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the<br />

auctioneer’s gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.<br />

DISPUTED AND REJECTED BIDS:<br />

The auctioneer reserves the right to re-open the bidding on the disputed lot. The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw<br />

from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item’s worth. We make every attempt, for the benefit of both seller and buyer, to create<br />

lots that reflect the quality of our cataloged merchandise. Therefore, any lot not receiving an opening bid of at least $50.00 will be passed.<br />

ESTIMATES & RESERVES:<br />

Presale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of actual gavel price. Some of the items in this auction are subject to a reserve. The<br />

reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate.<br />

DEFINITIONS OF STATEMENTS:<br />

a) “Attributed to” – work is of the period of the named artist and may be the work of that artist, but not definitely so. b) “Circle of” – work of the period<br />

closely associated with the artist or from his studio. c) “School of” – work by a pupil or follower of the artist, in his style. d) “After” – in our opinion, a<br />

copy of the work of the artist. e) “Signed” – has a signature that in our opinion is the signature of the artist. f) “Bears signature” – has signature that in our<br />

opinion might be the signature of the artist.<br />
