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 />

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 />

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 />
