Chenhall's System for Classifying Man-Made Objects , which is published by AltaMira Press in cooperation with the American Association for State and Local History.  Nomenclature  3.0 classifies artifacts based on their purpose or function."," Categories include: Built Environment Artifacts, Furnishings, Personal Artifacts, Tools and Equipment For Materials, Tools and Equipment for Science and Technology, Tools and Equipment For Communications, Distribution and Transportation Artifacts, Communication Artifacts, Recreational Artifacts, and Unclassifiable Artifacts."," This collection is currently being evaluated, described, and rehoused by staff.","Many of the artifacts inventoried in this collection came to the Special Collections Research Center as part of a collection of personal papers or organizational records. Those relationships are documented when known.","The Manuscripts Artifact Collection includes artifacts from a variety of personal papers and organizational records collections, as well as items acquired individually."," Images of a growing number of artifacts are available through the SCRC's Flickr account at","","Artifacts originally created to define space for human activities or to be used as components of space-defining artifacts.","Artifacts originally created as part of a building's fabric. Although building components are distinct objects, they function as parts of larger structures rather than as independent units. Building components can be separate, distinct, and generally interchangeable structural, functional, or decorative parts of buildings such as beams, sinks, or architectural ornaments. This classification also includes architectural samples integral to buildings, such as wall sections, staircases, or porches, as well as certain whole-structure building system components such as ventilators or furnaces. Excluded from this classification are parts of buildings that are not integral parts of the structure, such as furnishings or lighting devices, which are included in the Furnishings category","Structures and other artifacts originally created to serve as space-defining internal or external architectural building components","Artifacts originally created to block passage, prohibit movement, shield dangerous situations, protect or cover openings, or otherwise serve as barriers in or on structures","Artifacts originally created for use in the construction of structures. This sub-classification includes masonry units, such as bricks or stone, and ancillary materials such as plaster, flashing, or lath","Artifacts that are integral to structures and were originally created to transport humans, goods, or materials from one location in the structure to another. This sub-classification also includes equipment and accessories that serve as parts of building conveyance systems.","Artifacts originally created to serve as doors, windows(whether fixed or moveable), or components thereof, or to act as structural elements to complete openings.  They may serve as coverings, operating mechanism components, or accessories for doors or windows.  This sub-classification does not include finish hardware such as knockers, kick plates, sash lifts, or shutter dogs.","Artifacts originally created to modify the environment of structures through mechanical means, whether as individual units or as a part of systems. Environmental control components regulate heating, cooling, humidification, or ventilation. Portable equipment and equipment meant to heat or cool part of a structure are listed in Temperature Control Equipment.","Artifacts, usually made of metal, originally created to be visible, functional, and often decorative elements for the interior or exterior of buildings. This sub-classification includes doorway accessories such as doorknobs, widow accessories such as sash lifts or shutter dogs, and other artifacts such as brackets, strap hinges, or escutcheons.","Artifacts originally created to serve as built-in receptacles for waste, as vessel or spaces for containing or dispensing water for sanitary needs, or as a means of dispensing water for drinking. Plumbing and Drainage Elements also treat water, facilitate or regulate the movement of water and sewage withing structures, or transport unwanted water from one location to another, either through mechanical or gravitational means.","Artifacts originally created as rooftop structures or structural elements or as architectural ornamentation for roofs.","Artifacts originally created as structural or decorative components of staircases, whether rough and concealed or decorative and visible","Artifacts originally created to serve as structural elements for walls, ceilings, or floors. Some supporting elements may also serve as architectural ornamentation.","Artifacts originally created as finishing elements in buildings, whether indoor or outdoor. Surface elements serve as permanent wall, floor, ceiling, or roof coverings, or as decorative trim.","White ceramic tile owned by J. Palin Thorley depicting a face in relief. Tile measures .25 in. (height) x 3.125 in. (length) x 2.375 in. (width). Tile is in good condition with light brown spotting on the front and black and brown discoloration on the back. Gift of John Austin. Mss1996.62.A09","Artifacts originally created as distinct elements associated with sites, buildings, or parts of larger structures. Rather than functioning simply as parts of larger structures, site features are independent entities that complement other structures. This classification includes such artifacts as birdbaths, flagpoles, gates, and fences.","Artifacts originally created to provide or define a space for human activities. Structures may be permanent, portable, climate-controlled, or open-air, and can be used for a variety of purposes including ceremonial, agricultural, recreational, commercial, cultural, civic, industrial, and social. Architectural samples, integral to buildings such as wall sections, as well as separable, distinct, and interchangeable components, such as doorknobs or widow sashes, are included in Building Components.","Structures originally created for such agricultural purposes as housing animals, storing grains and farm implements, practicing animal husbandry, and processing plant and animal products. Structures used in the commercial processing of agricultural products are included in Industrial Structures. Agricultural Structures are not for public use or human habitation.","Structures originally created for ceremonial activities such as conducting religious services or preparing or housing the remains of the dead. Such structures may also provide space for devotional activities, such as those associated with holy objects, or offer shelter for transformative practices or traditional rituals such as tea ceremonies. This sub-classification does not include structures for human habitation or for ceremonial activities conducted by social organizations.","Structures originally created to be used by governmental entities or community organizations for such purposes as governance activities, mail distribution, public safety, or social activities. This sub-classification also includes structures used by trade, fraternal, professional, or special-interest groups or associations for such organizational purposes as conducting meetings or ceremonies or housing group-related artifacts such as regalia or records.","Structures originally created for the selling, exchanging, or housing of goods and services. This sub-classification includes service establishments, and mercantile buildings.","Structures originally created for cultural or recreational activities. Included in this sub-classification are structures that provide exhibition space for music, fine arts, dance, drama, or collections of objects, flora, or fauna displayed for public benefit. Also included are structures that provide space for sporting or entertainment activities, usually for groups and occasionally for individuals.","Structures originally created for such defensive purposes as storing armament and munitions, sheltering personnel, or providing fortified observational posts capable of facilitating or resisting attacks.","Residential structures originally created for long-term habitation rather than temporary housing. Dwellings are considered homes, places where domestic activities are conducted and personal effects are stored","Structures originally created to collect, convey, regulate, or contain water for distribution, flood control, or power generation.","Structures and complexes originally created for the extraction and processing of raw materials, the generation of power, the manufacture of goods, or the housing of industrial machinery.","Buildings originally created for such institutional purposes as health and welfare services, educational instruction, or corrections.","Buildings originally created for specific domestic activities such as baking or washing or for the storage of residential equipment and materials needed for domestic activities. Outbuildings are generally secondary structures adjacent to or nearby a dwelling or farm complex.","Structures and complexes originally created to facilitate the transportation of people and things. Such structures provide embarkation and debarkation points, allow passage from one point to another, house conveyance equipment, or serve as collection facilities for fares or tolls.","Structures that do not meet the definitions of this classification's other sub-classifications","Artifacts originally created to facilitate human activity and to provide for the physical needs of people, generally by offering comfort, convenience, or protection.  Clothing is excluded from this category as it addresses only the needs of a specific individual.  Furnishing are not artifacts used as active agents in other processes, such as artifacts used as tools or equipment; they passively enable human activity.","Artifacts, usually soft furnishings, originally created to provide support for sleeping or to accessorize a bed. This classification does not include beds and bed components, which are included in Furniture.","Artifacts originally created as portable or temporary coverings for indoor or outdoor floors. This classification includes rugs and carpeting but not permanently attached tile or linoleum, which are included in Building Components","Artifacts originally created to answer the physical requirements and comforts of people in their living and work spaces. This classification includes desks, tables, beds, chairs, and outdoor furniture, but it excludes appliances and tools such as washing machines and ladders.","Matched groupings of artifacts originally created to meet the basic furniture needs of a specific area such as a nursery or bedroom. Note: Other terms also may be used to represent specific set components from other Furniture sub-classifications, e.g., Seating Furniture, Supporting Furniture","Artifacts originally created to allow one or more persons to sit upon or support a portion of their body, as is the case of foot-stools. Seating furniture includes both indoor and outdoor furniture and may be stationary pieces such as slipper chairs or allow for some movement such as rocking chairs. This classification includes upright furniture that adjusts to a reclining position, but non-adjustable furniture that is designed for reclining is included in Sleeping and Reclining Furniture.","Artifacts originally created to allow one or more persons to lay down or recline. Component parts of beds such as headboards and footboards are also included in this sub-classification.","Artifacts originally created to store, protect, and sometimes display items by means of an encasement with such features as shelves, drawers, cubbyholes, and doors. This sub-classification does not include furniture created to store food, which is listed in Food Storage Equipment.","Artifacts originally created to support and sometimes store or display items without encasement, to function as steps, or to serve as horizontal surfaces for such activities as working or dining","Artifacts that do not meet the definitions of this classification's other sub-classifications. This sub-classification includes such artifacts as mirrors or screens","Artifacts originally created to be placed in or around a building for the convenience of people to enhance, complement, or facilitate the maintenance of their environment. This classification includes: small furnishings, such as card receivers; non-furniture artifacts used for storage and display, such as boxes; and objects that protect furniture such as antimacassars. This classification does not include furnishings intended primarily to communicate; they are classified as Art. Nor does this classification include devices used in productive housekeeping activity such as cooking or maintenance. Curtains are included in Window and Door Coverings.","Artifacts originally created to hold tobacco or smoking equipment or to serve as receptacles for tobacco-related waste such as ashes.

Mss1996.62.A10","This item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid.

The shield is surrounded by a ring which bears the full name of the NLWS. Perched atop the ring is an eagle with outstretched wings. A small decorative point hangs from the bottom of the ring. Two of the pins are backed with red, white, and blue ribbon that matches the ceremonial bars present on many military uniforms. The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort. Furthermore, the League provided women with the education necessary to keep traditionally male dominated services like telegraph and elevator operation running when the men went to war. Pins were owned by Sallie Munford Talbot, a Richmond woman who made the silk flag which flew over the Virginia Capitol until it was seized by Union Troops.

Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers. The group also contains many example of legal Connecticut coinage including the \"Hercules Head\" variety.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents. Also included in this group is a 1788 Cent whose reverse has been retooled to be a tree, a reverse which can be found on the replicas of the 1776 halfpenny included with this group.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name. The reverse of these coins feature a shield with 13 stripes surrounded by the familiar phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM. Two pieces of particular interest are F03, which is a normal New Jersey copper in about uncirculated condition. Another piece of interest is F21. This coin was a counterfeit copper that flooded the streets of New York in 1787; it is in about uncirculated condition.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil. This inconsistency is not found on any other coins of this period minted in Peru or Potosi during this period.

The reverse features an image of a ship bound for the word AMERICA, which is framed by the words THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE. The second piece, the Pitt farthing, features the same design, only slightly smaller. These tokens were minted in celebration of the repeal of the British Stamp Act. William Pitt had been a strong opponent of the Act and went so far as to accompany Benjamin Franklin to London to speak against the act in Parliament. Upon returning home, Pitt was hailed as a friend of Commerce, as was the King responsible for suppressing the Act, George III.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face.

This Virginia Half-penny was minted in 1773 in London. Virginia was the only colony which had royal permission to mint coinage, which was issued in 1609. Until 1773, however, colonists had used tobacco as well as other imported coins and notes to make purchases. In 1773, the Virginia assembly voted to mint currency, which was delivered to Richmond but was not released because the assembly lacked a royal charter explicitly allowing them to do so. The charter was delivered a year later on the eve of the revolution, and the coins were promptly released.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp. Tags such as these were hand stamped which accounts for the uneven impression of the letter C compared to the rest of Lt. Hall's name.  These tags are in worn condition.

Mss1996.62.A10\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

The other looks like a lobster claw but actually opens and closes like hooked scissors. A 12in. section of the chain extends down to a four inch section separated from it by a triagular link.  A presumed purpose for the chain is for that of a monocle worn around the neck. The four inch section is where the monocle would be attached, giving some room for the wearer to place the monocle at their eye. The chain possibly dates to 1912. The chain is 16 in (length).

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid. Attached to the lid is what appears to be a promotional notice that says six five cent packages of Sweet Caporal Cigarettes are included free. The dropfront of the box warns consumers to beware imitations lacking their trademark and the signature of P. Whitlock. The bottom of the box was burnt with the stamp Factory No 85, 3d Dist.

The outer case is gold, indicated by the small 18 stamped on the nub that connects the watch to the ring. The case uses a design of intersecting circles to create a rippling and textured effect. At the center of the front door are two flowers. The reverse of the case has a slightly different floral design with what appears to be space to inscribe initials. The front of the watch opens with the hinge at 9 o'clock. The face of the watch is white with black roman numerals for the hours. The hour hand is metal, perhaps gold. The minute hand is black metal and appears slightly bent. There is a smaller chronograph inset at 6 o'clock which uses standard numerals to time seconds. The inside of the case is stamped with the letters \"C\u0026amp;E.T.\" along with what appears to be two stylized \"D\"s flanking a third unreadable letter. The case is also stamped with the number 7595. The rear door to the case opens off of a different hinge. The back of the watch has one hold for a winding key, but no inscriptions of any sort. The rear of the case is stamped with the same letters and numbers, as well as an additional tiny inscription which reads \"D 1640\" and appears to have been done by hand. The fob for this watch is gold metallic, although whether it is and if so what karat is undeterminable. The fob features a ring at the top connected to a small metal oval that encompasses a tiny shaft. In that tiny shaft a spring can be seen, although its purpose cannot be determined. The fob then extends down to a swiveling piece of translucent enamel or cut stone. The reverse of the stone has been etched with tiny letters which read [Quod Petis Hic Est] (What you seek is here, ie. you already have happiness- Horace) and perhaps initials of some sort above laurels. On one side of the frame of the stone piece has a tiny hole which matches with the spring, although it is unknown what the function was. Transferred from the William Short Papers, (Mss 39.2Sh9).

Whistles were issued to men in the treches during WWI in order to serve as a means of communication. Officers would be briefed on a large coordinated attack, and then at the appropriate time would blow their whistles to alert everyone within earshot to charge over the trench.

The term aide-mémoire was used to descirbe a small notepad or book which one carried in order to remember important dates, events, etc. The cases of the Memoires are composed of a silvery lustrous metal. On the front of the Memoire are three raised emblems. The central emblem is that of the U.S. Naval Academy. In the lower right hand corner is another naval symbol, with an eagle perched ona ships wheel with crossed sword behind. In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it. One of the most intriguing aspects of these pieces is the closing mechanism. A small metal pencil is attached to the right hand side of the memoire. While the pencil is inserted, the book stays closed, but when removed it is \"unlocked'. The Penicls are mechanical and will dispense more graphite if twisted clockwise. The top spine of the memoire features a loop which is attached to a blue and gold cord (extant on only one of the aide-mémoires). The front of the book proper contains a small page commemorating the farewell ball, which took place at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The second page features a small color picture of a girl dressed in a navy pea coat carrying a small holly tree. The following pages are filled with the different dances that were played that night, as well as the title of the song and the composer. The owner of one of the aide-mémoires wrote down multiple \"Xs\" beneath the titles of the song, it is unknown what this was indicating. Later, the owner also writes several names down beneath the dances, probably the names of her partners. After the dance pages is another picture of a pea coat clad girl, but this time she's looking out of an open porthole. The next page lists all of the members of the Farewell Ball Committee. The last page reveals that the owner of the aide-mémoire was Emily M. Hall, and also gives her address. Subsequent pages are blank. Of the two notepads, the aide-mémoire with the tassle and writing within was clearly handled more. It shows some patina as well as a general dulling of the metal. The second aide-mémoire shows little signs of aging save some patina near the hinge. Transferred from the Hall Family Papers (Mss. 90 H14). Located in Dec Obj S2 SS2, Box 3.

This particular leather includes a picture of the Rotunda and Lawn of the University of Virginia. The leather is orange and the image in silver with only minimal wear and tear. There is no indication on the front or back of the leather which Tobacco company produced it. It can be surmised that this leather was part of a series produced on colleges to entice students of those schools to buy a particular brand of tobacco. In addition to leather, flannel and silk were also used to target different demographics (Silk to women, leather to students, flannels would take on a fake Indian motif).

Silks become popular items to include, especially depicting baseball players or pleasant scenes. The silks increasingly targeted women in the 1920s, as they were rapidly becoming a large consumer base. Other materials like flannel and leather were also used as promotional tie ins. The workmanship on some of these freebies is astonishing. This particular piece is blue, white, and gold and was made to advertise the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. The bottom of the silk says Egyptienne Luxury, which reveals the brand that produced this silk. Egyptienne Luxury brand cigarettes produced several runs of collectible silks featuring themes like colleges, states, and even secret societies. The other end of the silk reveals that it was produced in New York. This item, along with an example of a tobacco leather can be found in the Manuscripts Artifacts Collection.

The noose measures approximately 16in (tag included) and is in fair condition. The noose itself has suffered from discoloration and the rope edges that tie the noose together are frayed. In addition, there are black stains on the first three spirals of the noose and the left side of the knot that holds the tag. The tag has creases in the middle and is torn from the top right corner to the middle. there is white discoloration and a small brown stain above the \"I\" in \"I Helped Hang Poverty\" and there is a large brown stain under the word \"Poverty.\" On the back of the tag there are large black spots along the top of the tag near the knot that holds the tag.

The first panel has a painted image of Eve and the tree of knowledge with a snake curled around it. The text reads \"1. Adam comes first upon the stage/ And Eve from out his side/ Who was given him in marriage,/ Turn up and see his bride.\" Under the first flap the following is written \"2. There Even in shape you may behold,/ One body she with two; / Once more do but the leaf downfold,/ And it is strange to view.\" And there is a top half of Eve with the tree of knowledge and a snake's head.

The third panel has a painted picture of a man with a cane walked outside among trees and the following text, \"7. Now I've escaped the Eagles claws, And am from dangers free,/ I'll set my heart to gather gold,/ Turn down the leaf and see. \"Once you turn down the leaf you read \"8. A Heart here is oppressed with cane/ what slave can sure the same? / Under the leaf you'll find a cure/ Lift up and see how plain.\" Once the top leaf is flipped the text reads, \"9.

The fourth and final panel has an image of the man standing in his bedroom with the following text, \"10. Now I've got gold and silver store,/ Bribes from the rich, pawns from the poor,/ What earthly cares, can trouble me,/ Turn down the lead, \u0026amp; then you'll see.\" The bottom leaf once flipped down reads, \"11. Sickness is come, \u0026amp; death, draws nigh, / Help gold and silver, e'er I die,/ It will not do, for its but dross;/ Turn up and see man's end at last.\" Once the top leaf is lifted up the following text is exposed, \" 12. \"O Man! Now see thou art but dust,/ Thy gold and silver is but rust./ Thy time is come, thy glass is spent,?

Perched atop the ring is an eagle with outstretched wings. A small decorative point hangs from the bottom of the ring. Two of the pins are backed with red, white, and blue ribbon that matches the ceremonial bars present on many military uniforms. The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort. Furthermore, the League provided women with the education necessary to keep traditionally male dominated services like telegraph and elevator operation running when the men went to war. Pins were owned by Sallie Munford Talbot, a Richmond woman who made the silk flag which flew over the Virginia Capitol until it was seized by Union Troops.

Field, an American businessman, and the Atlantic Telegraph Company led the effort to create an undersea telegraph connection between North America and Europe, which was ultimately completed on August 16, 1858 with Queen Victoria sending the first message to President James Buchanan. Unfortunately the cable was only operational for a few weeks before the insulation failed due to poor handling and design coupled with the use of higher voltages when transmission speed dropped. Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. bought the leftover portions of cable from Field and fashioned them into souvenir sections with brass plaques. Sections approximately 4\" in length. Gift of the Ruth T.

The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents. Also included in this group is a 1788 Cent whose reverse has been retooled to be a tree, a reverse which can be found on the replicas of the 1776 halfpenny included with this group.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name. The reverse of these coins feature a shield with 13 stripes surrounded by the familiar phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM. Two pieces of particular interest are F03, which is a normal New Jersey copper in about uncirculated condition. Another piece of interest is F21. This coin was a counterfeit copper that flooded the streets of New York in 1787; it is in about uncirculated condition.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil. This inconsistency is not found on any other coins of this period minted in Peru or Potosi during this period.

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of William Pitt, supposedly based on sketches by Paul Revere; as well as the words, NO STAMPS THE RESTORER OF COMMERCE 1766. The reverse features an image of a ship bound for the word AMERICA, which is framed by the words THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE. The second piece, the Pitt farthing, features the same design, only slightly smaller. These tokens were minted in celebration of the repeal of the British Stamp Act. William Pitt had been a strong opponent of the Act and went so far as to accompany Benjamin Franklin to London to speak against the act in Parliament. Upon returning home, Pitt was hailed as a friend of Commerce, as was the King responsible for suppressing the Act, George III.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face. A slide of this coin is also included. The second example is also free of most signs of aging, but is not as lustrous.The first specimen in the collection is in beautiful condition wth barely any patina or other signs of wear.

ENGRAVER \u0026amp; DIE SINKER 1860. The reverse bares the address 200 so Fifth St; which is then surrounded by a wreath and the words Metallic Business Cards Philadelphia. The general design of this proof was preserved on the Confederate cent, with changes to the inscriptions. The other proof in the collection is identical save its composition of brass. The example of the actual Confederate cent still displays remarkable detail despite its having been cleaned previously, and having a minting date of 1861.

This Virginia Half-penny was minted in 1773 in London. Virginia was the only colony which had royal permission to mint coinage, which was issued in 1609. Until 1773, however, colonists had used tobacco as well as other imported coins and notes to make purchases. In 1773, the Virginia assembly voted to mint currency, which was delivered to Richmond but was not released because the assembly lacked a royal charter explicitly allowing them to do so. The charter was delivered a year later on the eve of the revolution, and the coins were promptly released. This first release of Virginia coins resulted in peolpe hoarding the coins due to the unsure outcome of the revolution. 24mm diameter. Very worn condition.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp. Tags such as these were hand stamped which accounts for the uneven impression of the letter C compared to the rest of Lt. Hall's name.  These tags are in worn condition.

The medals begin with a small pin at the top, which is engraved with the word VIRGINIA and framed by a pattern of circles. The pin is then attahed to a red ribbon, which then terminates in the medal proper. The medal's front is embossed with the initials of the organization \"A.P.V.A\" as well as the year the club was founded, 1888. The reverse of the medal reads \"Dei Gratia Virginia Condita\" (Founded by the Grace of God, Virginia). The reverse also includes images of three ships along with the year 1607. The ships and year are meant to commemorate the establishment of Jamestown. The APVA was a women's club, and one of their first actions as a club was to purchase 22.5 acres of historic Jamestown, pathing the way for the future establishment of the living history museum located there. Medals such as these were worn by members up through the early 20s. Medals belonged to Sallie Munford Talbott, a women well known for her involvement in Virginia history, including her manufacture of the flag that flew over the Virginia Capitol until it was seized by Union forces.

Mss1996.62.A10","This item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid. Attached to the lid is what appears to be a promotional notice that says six five cent packages of Sweet Caporal Cigarettes are included free.

This naptha-fueled lighter was carried by soldiers on all sides during WWI. The lighter is composed of three main sections. First we have the flint wheel, which is connected to the lighter and includes a knurled knob at one end with which a steel spring could be raised higher if the flint began to wear down. The second major component is the body of the lighter, a cylinder which would have ended in a small keyring (which is no longer present). The last major component is the wick, which is made of a yellow fiber and is connected to a chain which ends in a tiny metal ball. To extinguish the flames on these lighters the keyring on the bottom would be pulled, pulling the wick into the naptha, but closing off the air supply with the tiny metal ball. The lighter is heavily rusted, but the flint wheel can still be spun, a rarity in lighters of this age. This lighter was likely the personal possession of Channing M. Hall.

The term aide-mémoire was used to descirbe a small notepad or book which one carried in order to remember important dates, events, etc. The cases of the Memoires are composed of a silvery lustrous metal. On the front of the Memoire are three raised emblems. The central emblem is that of the U.S. Naval Academy. In the lower right hand corner is another naval symbol, with an eagle perched ona ships wheel with crossed sword behind. In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it. One of the most intriguing aspects of these pieces is the closing mechanism. A small metal pencil is attached to the right hand side of the memoire. While the pencil is inserted, the book stays closed, but when removed it is \"unlocked'. The Penicls are mechanical and will dispense more graphite if twisted clockwise. The top spine of the memoire features a loop which is attached to a blue and gold cord (extant on only one of the aide-mémoires). The front of the book proper contains a small page commemorating the farewell ball, which took place at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The second page features a small color picture of a girl dressed in a navy pea coat carrying a small holly tree. The following pages are filled with the different dances that were played that night, as well as the title of the song and the composer. The owner of one of the aide-mémoires wrote down multiple \"Xs\" beneath the titles of the song, it is unknown what this was indicating. Later, the owner also writes several names down beneath the dances, probably the names of her partners. After the dance pages is another picture of a pea coat clad girl, but this time she's looking out of an open porthole. The next page lists all of the members of the Farewell Ball Committee. The last page reveals that the owner of the aide-mémoire was Emily M. Hall, and also gives her address. Subsequent pages are blank. Of the two notepads, the aide-mémoire with the tassle and writing within was clearly handled more. It shows some patina as well as a general dulling of the metal. The second aide-mémoire shows little signs of aging save some patina near the hinge. Transferred from the Hall Family Papers (Mss. 90 H14). Located in Dec Obj S2 SS2, Box 3.

The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort.

The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away. The counterfeiting operation must have been somewhat successful because Machin's Mill lasted longer than even the official Mint of New York.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name. The reverse of these coins feature a shield with 13 stripes surrounded by the familiar phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp.

Chenhall's System for Classifying Man-Made Objects , which is published by AltaMira Press in cooperation with the American Association for State and Local History.  Nomenclature  3.0 classifies artifacts based on their purpose or function."," Categories include: Built Environment Artifacts, Furnishings, Personal Artifacts, Tools and Equipment For Materials, Tools and Equipment for Science and Technology, Tools and Equipment For Communications, Distribution and Transportation Artifacts, Communication Artifacts, Recreational Artifacts, and Unclassifiable Artifacts."," This collection is currently being evaluated, described, and rehoused by staff.","Many of the artifacts inventoried in this collection came to the Special Collections Research Center as part of a collection of personal papers or organizational records. Those relationships are documented when known.","The Manuscripts Artifact Collection includes artifacts from a variety of personal papers and organizational records collections, as well as items acquired individually."," Images of a growing number of artifacts are available through the SCRC's Flickr account at","","Artifacts originally created to define space for human activities or to be used as components of space-defining artifacts.","Artifacts originally created as part of a building's fabric. Although building components are distinct objects, they function as parts of larger structures rather than as independent units. Building components can be separate, distinct, and generally interchangeable structural, functional, or decorative parts of buildings such as beams, sinks, or architectural ornaments. This classification also includes architectural samples integral to buildings, such as wall sections, staircases, or porches, as well as certain whole-structure building system components such as ventilators or furnaces. Excluded from this classification are parts of buildings that are not integral parts of the structure, such as furnishings or lighting devices, which are included in the Furnishings category","Structures and other artifacts originally created to serve as space-defining internal or external architectural building components","Artifacts originally created to block passage, prohibit movement, shield dangerous situations, protect or cover openings, or otherwise serve as barriers in or on structures","Artifacts originally created for use in the construction of structures. This sub-classification includes masonry units, such as bricks or stone, and ancillary materials such as plaster, flashing, or lath","Artifacts that are integral to structures and were originally created to transport humans, goods, or materials from one location in the structure to another. This sub-classification also includes equipment and accessories that serve as parts of building conveyance systems.","Artifacts originally created to serve as doors, windows(whether fixed or moveable), or components thereof, or to act as structural elements to complete openings.  They may serve as coverings, operating mechanism components, or accessories for doors or windows.  This sub-classification does not include finish hardware such as knockers, kick plates, sash lifts, or shutter dogs.","Artifacts originally created to modify the environment of structures through mechanical means, whether as individual units or as a part of systems. Environmental control components regulate heating, cooling, humidification, or ventilation. Portable equipment and equipment meant to heat or cool part of a structure are listed in Temperature Control Equipment.","Artifacts, usually made of metal, originally created to be visible, functional, and often decorative elements for the interior or exterior of buildings. This sub-classification includes doorway accessories such as doorknobs, widow accessories such as sash lifts or shutter dogs, and other artifacts such as brackets, strap hinges, or escutcheons.","Artifacts originally created to serve as built-in receptacles for waste, as vessel or spaces for containing or dispensing water for sanitary needs, or as a means of dispensing water for drinking. Plumbing and Drainage Elements also treat water, facilitate or regulate the movement of water and sewage withing structures, or transport unwanted water from one location to another, either through mechanical or gravitational means.","Artifacts originally created as rooftop structures or structural elements or as architectural ornamentation for roofs.","Artifacts originally created as structural or decorative components of staircases, whether rough and concealed or decorative and visible","Artifacts originally created to serve as structural elements for walls, ceilings, or floors. Some supporting elements may also serve as architectural ornamentation.","Artifacts originally created as finishing elements in buildings, whether indoor or outdoor. Surface elements serve as permanent wall, floor, ceiling, or roof coverings, or as decorative trim.","White ceramic tile owned by J. Palin Thorley depicting a face in relief. Tile measures .25 in. (height) x 3.125 in. (length) x 2.375 in. (width). Tile is in good condition with light brown spotting on the front and black and brown discoloration on the back. Gift of John Austin. Mss1996.62.A09","Artifacts originally created as distinct elements associated with sites, buildings, or parts of larger structures. Rather than functioning simply as parts of larger structures, site features are independent entities that complement other structures. This classification includes such artifacts as birdbaths, flagpoles, gates, and fences.","Artifacts originally created to provide or define a space for human activities. Structures may be permanent, portable, climate-controlled, or open-air, and can be used for a variety of purposes including ceremonial, agricultural, recreational, commercial, cultural, civic, industrial, and social. Architectural samples, integral to buildings such as wall sections, as well as separable, distinct, and interchangeable components, such as doorknobs or widow sashes, are included in Building Components.","Structures originally created for such agricultural purposes as housing animals, storing grains and farm implements, practicing animal husbandry, and processing plant and animal products. Structures used in the commercial processing of agricultural products are included in Industrial Structures. Agricultural Structures are not for public use or human habitation.","Structures originally created for ceremonial activities such as conducting religious services or preparing or housing the remains of the dead. Such structures may also provide space for devotional activities, such as those associated with holy objects, or offer shelter for transformative practices or traditional rituals such as tea ceremonies. This sub-classification does not include structures for human habitation or for ceremonial activities conducted by social organizations.","Structures originally created to be used by governmental entities or community organizations for such purposes as governance activities, mail distribution, public safety, or social activities. This sub-classification also includes structures used by trade, fraternal, professional, or special-interest groups or associations for such organizational purposes as conducting meetings or ceremonies or housing group-related artifacts such as regalia or records.","Structures originally created for the selling, exchanging, or housing of goods and services. This sub-classification includes service establishments, and mercantile buildings.","Structures originally created for cultural or recreational activities. Included in this sub-classification are structures that provide exhibition space for music, fine arts, dance, drama, or collections of objects, flora, or fauna displayed for public benefit. Also included are structures that provide space for sporting or entertainment activities, usually for groups and occasionally for individuals.","Structures originally created for such defensive purposes as storing armament and munitions, sheltering personnel, or providing fortified observational posts capable of facilitating or resisting attacks.","Residential structures originally created for long-term habitation rather than temporary housing. Dwellings are considered homes, places where domestic activities are conducted and personal effects are stored","Structures originally created to collect, convey, regulate, or contain water for distribution, flood control, or power generation.","Structures and complexes originally created for the extraction and processing of raw materials, the generation of power, the manufacture of goods, or the housing of industrial machinery.","Buildings originally created for such institutional purposes as health and welfare services, educational instruction, or corrections.","Buildings originally created for specific domestic activities such as baking or washing or for the storage of residential equipment and materials needed for domestic activities. Outbuildings are generally secondary structures adjacent to or nearby a dwelling or farm complex.","Structures and complexes originally created to facilitate the transportation of people and things. Such structures provide embarkation and debarkation points, allow passage from one point to another, house conveyance equipment, or serve as collection facilities for fares or tolls.","Structures that do not meet the definitions of this classification's other sub-classifications","Artifacts originally created to facilitate human activity and to provide for the physical needs of people, generally by offering comfort, convenience, or protection.  Clothing is excluded from this category as it addresses only the needs of a specific individual.  Furnishing are not artifacts used as active agents in other processes, such as artifacts used as tools or equipment; they passively enable human activity.","Artifacts, usually soft furnishings, originally created to provide support for sleeping or to accessorize a bed. This classification does not include beds and bed components, which are included in Furniture.","Artifacts originally created as portable or temporary coverings for indoor or outdoor floors. This classification includes rugs and carpeting but not permanently attached tile or linoleum, which are included in Building Components","Artifacts originally created to answer the physical requirements and comforts of people in their living and work spaces. This classification includes desks, tables, beds, chairs, and outdoor furniture, but it excludes appliances and tools such as washing machines and ladders.","Matched groupings of artifacts originally created to meet the basic furniture needs of a specific area such as a nursery or bedroom. Note: Other terms also may be used to represent specific set components from other Furniture sub-classifications, e.g., Seating Furniture, Supporting Furniture","Artifacts originally created to allow one or more persons to sit upon or support a portion of their body, as is the case of foot-stools. Seating furniture includes both indoor and outdoor furniture and may be stationary pieces such as slipper chairs or allow for some movement such as rocking chairs. This classification includes upright furniture that adjusts to a reclining position, but non-adjustable furniture that is designed for reclining is included in Sleeping and Reclining Furniture.","Artifacts originally created to allow one or more persons to lay down or recline. Component parts of beds such as headboards and footboards are also included in this sub-classification.","Artifacts originally created to store, protect, and sometimes display items by means of an encasement with such features as shelves, drawers, cubbyholes, and doors. This sub-classification does not include furniture created to store food, which is listed in Food Storage Equipment.","Artifacts originally created to support and sometimes store or display items without encasement, to function as steps, or to serve as horizontal surfaces for such activities as working or dining","Artifacts that do not meet the definitions of this classification's other sub-classifications. This sub-classification includes such artifacts as mirrors or screens","Artifacts originally created to be placed in or around a building for the convenience of people to enhance, complement, or facilitate the maintenance of their environment. This classification includes: small furnishings, such as card receivers; non-furniture artifacts used for storage and display, such as boxes; and objects that protect furniture such as antimacassars. This classification does not include furnishings intended primarily to communicate; they are classified as Art. Nor does this classification include devices used in productive housekeeping activity such as cooking or maintenance. Curtains are included in Window and Door Coverings.","Artifacts originally created to hold tobacco or smoking equipment or to serve as receptacles for tobacco-related waste such as ashes.

Mss1996.62.A10","This item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare.

The top of the whistle bears the manufacturing mark of the Horstmann Company of Philadelphia, PA. The whistle is very heavy for its size, and is connected to the chain via a small decorative nub and keyring. The attached chain terminates in a sturdy bronze belt hook. Whistles were issued to men in the treches during WWI in order to serve as a means of communication. Officers would be briefed on a large coordinated attack, and then at the appropriate time would blow their whistles to alert everyone within earshot to charge over the trench.

The term aide-mémoire was used to descirbe a small notepad or book which one carried in order to remember important dates, events, etc. The cases of the Memoires are composed of a silvery lustrous metal. On the front of the Memoire are three raised emblems. The central emblem is that of the U.S. Naval Academy. In the lower right hand corner is another naval symbol, with an eagle perched ona ships wheel with crossed sword behind. In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it.

Two of the pins are backed with red, white, and blue ribbon that matches the ceremonial bars present on many military uniforms. The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort. Furthermore, the League provided women with the education necessary to keep traditionally male dominated services like telegraph and elevator operation running when the men went to war.

Field, an American businessman, and the Atlantic Telegraph Company led the effort to create an undersea telegraph connection between North America and Europe, which was ultimately completed on August 16, 1858 with Queen Victoria sending the first message to President James Buchanan. Unfortunately the cable was only operational for a few weeks before the insulation failed due to poor handling and design coupled with the use of higher voltages when transmission speed dropped.

The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away. The counterfeiting operation must have been somewhat successful because Machin's Mill lasted longer than even the official Mint of New York.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil. This inconsistency is not found on any other coins of this period minted in Peru or Potosi during this period.

The first is a Pitt half-penny dating to 1766. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of William Pitt, supposedly based on sketches by Paul Revere; as well as the words, NO STAMPS THE RESTORER OF COMMERCE 1766. The reverse features an image of a ship bound for the word AMERICA, which is framed by the words THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE. The second piece, the Pitt farthing, features the same design, only slightly smaller. These tokens were minted in celebration of the repeal of the British Stamp Act. William Pitt had been a strong opponent of the Act and went so far as to accompany Benjamin Franklin to London to speak against the act in Parliament. Upon returning home, Pitt was hailed as a friend of Commerce, as was the King responsible for suppressing the Act, George III.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face.

The King is wearing a laurel wreath on his head in emmulation of Roman Emperors. The face also features visible letters \"E\" and \"X\". The reverse reveals a barely visible coat of arms, with the separators between each quadrant easily visible. The bottom left of the coat of arms features a harp, the top left a standing lion, the top right three fleur d'lis, the bottom right is indistinugishable. This Virginia Half-penny was minted in 1773 in London. Virginia was the only colony which had royal permission to mint coinage, which was issued in 1609. Until 1773, however, colonists had used tobacco as well as other imported coins and notes to make purchases. In 1773, the Virginia assembly voted to mint currency, which was delivered to Richmond but was not released because the assembly lacked a royal charter explicitly allowing them to do so. The charter was delivered a year later on the eve of the revolution, and the coins were promptly released. This first release of Virginia coins resulted in peolpe hoarding the coins due to the unsure outcome of the revolution. 24mm diameter. Very worn condition.

Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt.

Mss1996.62.A10\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

The chain uses a pattern of two large oval links separated by five small circular links. The clasps on the chain are steel. On the longer section of the chain the clasp is a sort of sliding hoop, in which a section of the hoop is slid closed. The other looks like a lobster claw but actually opens and closes like hooked scissors. A 12in. section of the chain extends down to a four inch section separated from it by a triagular link.  A presumed purpose for the chain is for that of a monocle worn around the neck. The four inch section is where the monocle would be attached, giving some room for the wearer to place the monocle at their eye. The chain possibly dates to 1912. The chain is 16 in (length).

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid. Attached to the lid is what appears to be a promotional notice that says six five cent packages of Sweet Caporal Cigarettes are included free. The dropfront of the box warns consumers to beware imitations lacking their trademark and the signature of P. Whitlock. The bottom of the box was burnt with the stamp Factory No 85, 3d Dist. N.V. 250. This box can be seen alongside many other tobacco related items kept in the manuscripts artifacts collection. An image is available at https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrc/5766124998/.

The outer case is gold, indicated by the small 18 stamped on the nub that connects the watch to the ring. The case uses a design of intersecting circles to create a rippling and textured effect. At the center of the front door are two flowers. The reverse of the case has a slightly different floral design with what appears to be space to inscribe initials. The front of the watch opens with the hinge at 9 o'clock. The face of the watch is white with black roman numerals for the hours. The hour hand is metal, perhaps gold. The minute hand is black metal and appears slightly bent. There is a smaller chronograph inset at 6 o'clock which uses standard numerals to time seconds. The inside of the case is stamped with the letters \"C\u0026amp;E.T.\" along with what appears to be two stylized \"D\"s flanking a third unreadable letter. The case is also stamped with the number 7595. The rear door to the case opens off of a different hinge. The back of the watch has one hold for a winding key, but no inscriptions of any sort. The rear of the case is stamped with the same letters and numbers, as well as an additional tiny inscription which reads \"D 1640\" and appears to have been done by hand. The fob for this watch is gold metallic, although whether it is and if so what karat is undeterminable. The fob features a ring at the top connected to a small metal oval that encompasses a tiny shaft. In that tiny shaft a spring can be seen, although its purpose cannot be determined. The fob then extends down to a swiveling piece of translucent enamel or cut stone. The reverse of the stone has been etched with tiny letters which read [Quod Petis Hic Est] (What you seek is here, ie. you already have happiness- Horace) and perhaps initials of some sort above laurels. On one side of the frame of the stone piece has a tiny hole which matches with the spring, although it is unknown what the function was. Transferred from the William Short Papers, (Mss 39.2Sh9).

Whistles were issued to men in the treches during WWI in order to serve as a means of communication. Officers would be briefed on a large coordinated attack, and then at the appropriate time would blow their whistles to alert everyone within earshot to charge over the trench.

In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it. One of the most intriguing aspects of these pieces is the closing mechanism. A small metal pencil is attached to the right hand side of the memoire. While the pencil is inserted, the book stays closed, but when removed it is \"unlocked'. The Penicls are mechanical and will dispense more graphite if twisted clockwise. The top spine of the memoire features a loop which is attached to a blue and gold cord (extant on only one of the aide-mémoires). The front of the book proper contains a small page commemorating the farewell ball, which took place at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The second page features a small color picture of a girl dressed in a navy pea coat carrying a small holly tree. The following pages are filled with the different dances that were played that night, as well as the title of the song and the composer. The owner of one of the aide-mémoires wrote down multiple \"Xs\" beneath the titles of the song, it is unknown what this was indicating. Later, the owner also writes several names down beneath the dances, probably the names of her partners. After the dance pages is another picture of a pea coat clad girl, but this time she's looking out of an open porthole. The next page lists all of the members of the Farewell Ball Committee. The last page reveals that the owner of the aide-mémoire was Emily M. Hall, and also gives her address. Subsequent pages are blank. Of the two notepads, the aide-mémoire with the tassle and writing within was clearly handled more. It shows some patina as well as a general dulling of the metal. The second aide-mémoire shows little signs of aging save some patina near the hinge. Transferred from the Hall Family Papers (Mss. 90 H14). Located in Dec Obj S2 SS2, Box 3.

This particular leather includes a picture of the Rotunda and Lawn of the University of Virginia. The leather is orange and the image in silver with only minimal wear and tear. There is no indication on the front or back of the leather which Tobacco company produced it. It can be surmised that this leather was part of a series produced on colleges to entice students of those schools to buy a particular brand of tobacco. In addition to leather, flannel and silk were also used to target different demographics (Silk to women, leather to students, flannels would take on a fake Indian motif).

Silks become popular items to include, especially depicting baseball players or pleasant scenes. The silks increasingly targeted women in the 1920s, as they were rapidly becoming a large consumer base. Other materials like flannel and leather were also used as promotional tie ins. The workmanship on some of these freebies is astonishing. This particular piece is blue, white, and gold and was made to advertise the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. The bottom of the silk says Egyptienne Luxury, which reveals the brand that produced this silk. Egyptienne Luxury brand cigarettes produced several runs of collectible silks featuring themes like colleges, states, and even secret societies. The other end of the silk reveals that it was produced in New York. This item, along with an example of a tobacco leather can be found in the Manuscripts Artifacts Collection.

The noose measures approximately 16in (tag included) and is in fair condition. The noose itself has suffered from discoloration and the rope edges that tie the noose together are frayed. In addition, there are black stains on the first three spirals of the noose and the left side of the knot that holds the tag.

The fourth and final panel has an image of the man standing in his bedroom with the following text, \"10. Now I've got gold and silver store,/ Bribes from the rich, pawns from the poor,/ What earthly cares, can trouble me,/ Turn down the lead, \u0026amp; then you'll see.\" The bottom leaf once flipped down reads, \"11. Sickness is come, \u0026amp; death, draws nigh, / Help gold and silver, e'er I die,/ It will not do, for its but dross;/ Turn up and see man's end at last.\" Once the top leaf is lifted up the following text is exposed, \" 12. \"O Man!

Perched atop the ring is an eagle with outstretched wings. A small decorative point hangs from the bottom of the ring. Two of the pins are backed with red, white, and blue ribbon that matches the ceremonial bars present on many military uniforms. The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort. Furthermore, the League provided women with the education necessary to keep traditionally male dominated services like telegraph and elevator operation running when the men went to war. Pins were owned by Sallie Munford Talbot, a Richmond woman who made the silk flag which flew over the Virginia Capitol until it was seized by Union Troops.

The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away. The counterfeiting operation must have been somewhat successful because Machin's Mill lasted longer than even the official Mint of New York.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers. The group also contains many example of legal Connecticut coinage including the \"Hercules Head\" variety.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents. Also included in this group is a 1788 Cent whose reverse has been retooled to be a tree, a reverse which can be found on the replicas of the 1776 halfpenny included with this group.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name. The reverse of these coins feature a shield with 13 stripes surrounded by the familiar phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM. Two pieces of particular interest are F03, which is a normal New Jersey copper in about uncirculated condition. Another piece of interest is F21.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil. This inconsistency is not found on any other coins of this period minted in Peru or Potosi during this period.

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of William Pitt, supposedly based on sketches by Paul Revere; as well as the words, NO STAMPS THE RESTORER OF COMMERCE 1766. The reverse features an image of a ship bound for the word AMERICA, which is framed by the words THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE. The second piece, the Pitt farthing, features the same design, only slightly smaller. These tokens were minted in celebration of the repeal of the British Stamp Act. William Pitt had been a strong opponent of the Act and went so far as to accompany Benjamin Franklin to London to speak against the act in Parliament. Upon returning home, Pitt was hailed as a friend of Commerce, as was the King responsible for suppressing the Act, George III.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face. A slide of this coin is also included. The second example is also free of most signs of aging, but is not as lustrous.The first specimen in the collection is in beautiful condition wth barely any patina or other signs of wear.

ENGRAVER \u0026amp; DIE SINKER 1860. The reverse bares the address 200 so Fifth St; which is then surrounded by a wreath and the words Metallic Business Cards Philadelphia. The general design of this proof was preserved on the Confederate cent, with changes to the inscriptions. The other proof in the collection is identical save its composition of brass. The example of the actual Confederate cent still displays remarkable detail despite its having been cleaned previously, and having a minting date of 1861.

The need for a 3 cent coin arose when postage rates were lowered from 5 to three cents, but when postage rates were again lowered to 2 cents, the need for the 3 cent piece was decreasing.

This Virginia Half-penny was minted in 1773 in London. Virginia was the only colony which had royal permission to mint coinage, which was issued in 1609. Until 1773, however, colonists had used tobacco as well as other imported coins and notes to make purchases. In 1773, the Virginia assembly voted to mint currency, which was delivered to Richmond but was not released because the assembly lacked a royal charter explicitly allowing them to do so. The charter was delivered a year later on the eve of the revolution, and the coins were promptly released. This first release of Virginia coins resulted in peolpe hoarding the coins due to the unsure outcome of the revolution. 24mm diameter. Very worn condition.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp. Tags such as these were hand stamped which accounts for the uneven impression of the letter C compared to the rest of Lt. Hall's name.  These tags are in worn condition.

Mss1996.62.A10","This item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

The chain uses a pattern of two large oval links separated by five small circular links. The clasps on the chain are steel. On the longer section of the chain the clasp is a sort of sliding hoop, in which a section of the hoop is slid closed. The other looks like a lobster claw but actually opens and closes like hooked scissors. A 12in. section of the chain extends down to a four inch section separated from it by a triagular link.  A presumed purpose for the chain is for that of a monocle worn around the neck.

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid. Attached to the lid is what appears to be a promotional notice that says six five cent packages of Sweet Caporal Cigarettes are included free. The dropfront of the box warns consumers to beware imitations lacking their trademark and the signature of P. Whitlock. The bottom of the box was burnt with the stamp Factory No 85, 3d Dist.

This naptha-fueled lighter was carried by soldiers on all sides during WWI. The lighter is composed of three main sections. First we have the flint wheel, which is connected to the lighter and includes a knurled knob at one end with which a steel spring could be raised higher if the flint began to wear down. The second major component is the body of the lighter, a cylinder which would have ended in a small keyring (which is no longer present). The last major component is the wick, which is made of a yellow fiber and is connected to a chain which ends in a tiny metal ball.

The term aide-mémoire was used to descirbe a small notepad or book which one carried in order to remember important dates, events, etc. The cases of the Memoires are composed of a silvery lustrous metal. On the front of the Memoire are three raised emblems. The central emblem is that of the U.S. Naval Academy. In the lower right hand corner is another naval symbol, with an eagle perched ona ships wheel with crossed sword behind. In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it. One of the most intriguing aspects of these pieces is the closing mechanism. A small metal pencil is attached to the right hand side of the memoire. While the pencil is inserted, the book stays closed, but when removed it is \"unlocked'. The Penicls are mechanical and will dispense more graphite if twisted clockwise. The top spine of the memoire features a loop which is attached to a blue and gold cord (extant on only one of the aide-mémoires). The front of the book proper contains a small page commemorating the farewell ball, which took place at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The second page features a small color picture of a girl dressed in a navy pea coat carrying a small holly tree. The following pages are filled with the different dances that were played that night, as well as the title of the song and the composer. The owner of one of the aide-mémoires wrote down multiple \"Xs\" beneath the titles of the song, it is unknown what this was indicating. Later, the owner also writes several names down beneath the dances, probably the names of her partners. After the dance pages is another picture of a pea coat clad girl, but this time she's looking out of an open porthole. The next page lists all of the members of the Farewell Ball Committee. The last page reveals that the owner of the aide-mémoire was Emily M. Hall, and also gives her address. Subsequent pages are blank. Of the two notepads, the aide-mémoire with the tassle and writing within was clearly handled more. It shows some patina as well as a general dulling of the metal. The second aide-mémoire shows little signs of aging save some patina near the hinge. Transferred from the Hall Family Papers (Mss. 90 H14). Located in Dec Obj S2 SS2, Box 3.

The first panel has a painted image of Eve and the tree of knowledge with a snake curled around it. The text reads \"1. Adam comes first upon the stage/ And Eve from out his side/ Who was given him in marriage,/ Turn up and see his bride.\" Under the first flap the following is written \"2. There Even in shape you may behold,/ One body she with two; / Once more do but the leaf downfold,/ And it is strange to view.\" And there is a top half of Eve with the tree of knowledge and a snake's head.

Eyes look not on the Mermaids face,/ And ears, hear not her song;/ Her features have an alluring grace/ More charming than her tongue.\" The second panel has a painted image of a lion and the following text, \"A lion rousing from his den,/ On purpose for to range,/ is soon turned into another shape? Lift up and see how strange.\" Once the top leaf is lifted it reads, \"5.

The third panel has a painted picture of a man with a cane walked outside among trees and the following text, \"7. Now I've escaped the Eagles claws, And am from dangers free,/ I'll set my heart to gather gold,/ Turn down the leaf and see. \"Once you turn down the leaf you read \"8. A Heart here is oppressed with cane/ what slave can sure the same? / Under the leaf you'll find a cure/ Lift up and see how plain.\" Once the top leaf is flipped the text reads, \"9. A purse with gold and silver store,/ Has cured my heart, I'm sick no more,/ And am from cares and danger free/ What is there now can trouble me.\" The image here shows the man at a table counting his gold coins and weighing them. The fourth and final panel has an image of the man standing in his bedroom with the following text, \"10. Now I've got gold and silver store,/ Bribes from the rich, pawns from the poor,/ What earthly cares, can trouble me,/ Turn down the lead, \u0026 then you'll see.\" The bottom leaf once flipped down reads, \"11. Sickness is come, \u0026 death, draws nigh, / Help gold and silver, e'er I die,/ It will not do, for its but dross;/ Turn up and see man's end at last.\" Once the top leaf is lifted up the following text is exposed, \" 12. \"O Man! Now see thou art but dust,/ Thy gold and silver is but rust./ Thy time is come, thy glass is spent,?

The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort.

This group also contains 12 slides of coin obverses and reverses. The group contains several notable pieces including an example of an extremely rare origninal George Clinton cent. The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away. The counterfeiting operation must have been somewhat successful because Machin's Mill lasted longer than even the official Mint of New York.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers. The group also contains many example of legal Connecticut coinage including the \"Hercules Head\" variety.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents. Also included in this group is a 1788 Cent whose reverse has been retooled to be a tree, a reverse which can be found on the replicas of the 1776 halfpenny included with this group.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name. The reverse of these coins feature a shield with 13 stripes surrounded by the familiar phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM. Two pieces of particular interest are F03, which is a normal New Jersey copper in about uncirculated condition. Another piece of interest is F21.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil. This inconsistency is not found on any other coins of this period minted in Peru or Potosi during this period.

The first is a Pitt half-penny dating to 1766. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of William Pitt, supposedly based on sketches by Paul Revere; as well as the words, NO STAMPS THE RESTORER OF COMMERCE 1766. The reverse features an image of a ship bound for the word AMERICA, which is framed by the words THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE. The second piece, the Pitt farthing, features the same design, only slightly smaller. These tokens were minted in celebration of the repeal of the British Stamp Act. William Pitt had been a strong opponent of the Act and went so far as to accompany Benjamin Franklin to London to speak against the act in Parliament. Upon returning home, Pitt was hailed as a friend of Commerce, as was the King responsible for suppressing the Act, George III.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp.

He originally planned to study chemistry but graduated with a Bachelor of Political Science instead. ","\nWright moved to Stamford, Connecticut, where he met and married Minister Deborah V. P. Wright (1953-2012). They had three children together: Aaron Person, Joslynn S. Hamlet, and Porchia M. W. Smith.","\nWright spent the bulk of his career working as a court officer in the social services Department of Child Support in Connecticut until his retirement in 2013. He then moved to Williamsburg, Virgina, where he lived until his passing in 2019.","\nHe was an active member of Faith Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in Stamford, Connecticut. He served as a member of the trustee board, and sang in the Male Chorus and Inspirational Choir. Upon relocating to Williamsburg, VA, he joined Colossian Baptist Church in Newport News, and once again served as a choir member. ","\nOutside of the church, Wright also served as the president of the Stamford Chapter of the NAACP, was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., and worked as a volunteer and mentor for a substance abuse rehabilitation program called Liberation House.","\nWhile living in Stamford, Wright began collecting Black comic books in 1986 because \"he wanted to have a hobby.\" His collection eventually grew beyond comics to include books, art works, photographs, and audio visual materials on the same topic. He saw the images that he collected over the years as a way to better tell the story of the depiction of Black Americans in visual media. In 2019, Wright donated his collection to William \u0026 Mary so that it might be \"a helpful resource to students\" in the future.","William \u0026 Mary Libraries' archival, digital and physical collections may contain content with harmful language or difficult subject matters.

As much as could be determined, all family correspondence has been separated and arranged by year.","Aubrey Ellis Strode, an American lawyer and Democratic politician, was born on October 2, 1873, at Amherst, Virginia, to Henry Aubrey Strode (1844-1898) and Mildred Powell Ellis Strode (1854-1898). Strode graduated from Kenmore High School at Amherst, and attended college at the University of Mississippi, Washington and Lee (1891-1892), and studied law at the University of Virginia, 1898-1899. Strode served as the principal of Ridgeway High School, Ridgeway, South Carolina, and Kenmore University High School, Amherst County, Virginia. The house \"Kenmore,\" was a colonial brick home built by Samuel Meredith Garland, whose granddaughter, Mildred Ellis, married Henry Aubrey Strode. Kenmore Farm became a preparatory high school operated by Henry Aubrey Strode between 1872 and 1889, and 1896-1899. Henry Aubrey Strode also served as the first president of Clemson University, 1890-1893. Aubrey Ellis Strode became principal and continued the school for a few years when his father fell ill. ","Upon the death of his parents and being the eldest of the remaining family, Strode decided to study law, passed the bar examination and began practicing law in Amherst County and Lynchburg. His first law partner was Stickley Tucker (1879-1912), the oldest son of Cornelius S. Tucker and Sallie Stickley Tucker.  Aubrey E. Strode and John William Stickley Tucker signed articles of agreement on December 31, 1902, becoming partners in the practice of law, pertaining to the counties of Amherst and Nelson, Virginia under the name of Strode and Tucker, beginning January 1, 1903, with the general office at Amherst Court House. This practice was distinct from the law practice of Aubrey Strode in Lynchburg, Virginia. Later a memorandum of partnership agreement between Aubrey E. Strode and J. Easley Edmunds, Jr. took effect on March 1, 1923 under the firm name of Strode and Edmunds, with Strode as the senior partner.","Strode represented Amherst County and Nelson County in the Virginia Senate, from 1906-1912, and 1916-1920 and was the elector at large in Virginia in 1928. He was an active member of the Democratic Party in Virginia and a popular public speaker supporting Democratic candidates during elections. During World War I, he joined the United States Army serving with the Judge Advocate General Department of the Officers' Reserve Corps. Strode was commissioned April 23, 1918 as Major Judge Advocate and then promoted to Lieutenant Colonel Judge Advocate May 15, 1919. While in service, he was on active duty at Washington, D.C. from May 15, 1918 until January 1919, and from February through August 1919, served with the American Expeditionary Forces at Chaumont and Paris, France. Strode was discharged on August 12, 1919.","Perhaps best known as the lawyer who wrote the statute known as the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924, Strode was also a long-time legal advisor to the Board of the State Colony for Epileptics and the Feeble-Minded. The Colony was located in Madison Heights near Lynchburg, Virginia, and authorized by a bill written in 1906 by Aubrey Strode in collaboration with Dr. Albert Priddy, who served as the first superintendent, and Joseph DeJarnette, superintendent at Western State Hospital in Staunton, Virginia.","He argued the case of Buck v. Bell before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1927. Carrie Buck was a young woman from Charlottesville who Dr. Priddy petitioned to have sterilized. Priddy died during the litigation and his successor as superintendent of the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and the Feeble Minded, Dr. John Bell, took up the cause. The Supreme Court upheld the statute instituting compulsory sterilization of the unfit \"for the protection and health of the state\" on May 2, 1927. The Supreme Court majority opinion was written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.","Strode was also a judge in the Corporation Court of Lynchburg (1933-1944). Strode died May 17, 1946 following his retirement from the bench due to poor health.","Biographical notes on Aubrey E. Strode siblings, wives and offspring is described in this subnote.","Aubrey E. Strode was the eldest child in his family and had seven siblings, six sisters and one brother. These include: Leslie Strode (1875- ?); Grace Strode (1877-1933); Ida Strode Berry (1878-1963) married Taylor Berry in 1898; Lucille Garland Strode (1882-1954) married William Ralph Smith in 1911; Edith Strode (1882-? ) married Dr. Howard Lilienthal; Mildred Strode Vandegrift (1886-1952); and Dr. Basil E. Strode (1888-1952), who served as a 1st Lt. in the Medical Corp in World War I.","Aubrey Ellis Strode married first Rebekah Davies Brown Strode (1874-1922) of Arlington, Virginia, on June 4, 1903, and second, Louisa Hubbard Strode Smith (1896-1989) of Forest, Virginia, in 1923.","Children of Aubrey E. Strode and Rebekah Brown Strode include: William Lewis Strode (1904-1906), Mildred Ellis Strode (1906-?) who married William Tucker Battle, Rebekah Elizabeth Strode (1913-1998) who married St. George Tucker Lee in 1936, Aubrey Ellis Strode, Jr. (1908-1970), and John Thompson Brown Strode (1910-1971). Hildreth Hubbard Strode (1926-2016) was the son of Aubrey E. Strode and Louis Hubbard Strode.","\"The Amherst Progress\" was described by Strode as a \"democratic, country, weekly newspaper\" with a circulation of between seven and eight hundred subscribers in 1914. The paper was established in 1904 by Stickley Tucker (1879-1912) the editor–in-chief and business manager, and was published until his ill health and death.","This folder has been created by the processor for the convenience of students and other researchers. It was not a file created by Aubrey Strode. It does not claim to be an exhaustive resource for the topic in this collection, but a starting point.","See also Frank R. Smith v. C.J. Campbell case.","Aubrey E. Strode (1861-1969,88 cubic feet) was a Virginia lawyer, state senator and eugenics advocate who drafted the Virginia sterilization law and brought Buck vs. Bell to the Supreme Court. This collection consists of his personal and professional papers concerning his family, law practice, army service, political and legislative activities as a member of the Virginia Senate, the Virginia Democratic Party and the Progressive movement, and as a co-owner of the newspaper, The Amherst Progress. The bulk of the papers consists of the files of the law firms of Strode and Tucker and Strode and Edwards, containing correspondence, court records, trial transcripts, exhibits, estate settlements, debt collections, and various legal documents. ","It also includes some speeches, bills, and correspondence with Edwin A. Alderman in the political and legislative papers in series four concerning the proposal to establish a coordinate Woman's College at the University of Virginia and the budgetary needs of the University of Virginia in the legislature. There are also letters in the family correspondence from his cousin, Dr. Rosalie Slaughter Morton (1876-1968), an American physician and surgeon, concerning her trips abroad and her autobiographical books. ","There are three files in this collection entirely concerned with Strode's role in eugenics and sterilization in Virginia and they are: Carrie Buck v. Dr. J.H. Bell, 1925 June 1 (Box 9); State Colony for Epileptics and the Feeble-Minded, 1908, 1920-1922 (Box 42); and Sterilization and Eugenics, 1924-1947 (Box 159). Much of the other material is scattered among his legal practice alphabetical correspondence files, under the last name of correspondents such as William F. Drewry, superintendent of Central State Hospital; Dr. Albert Priddy, first superintendent of the Virginia Colony for Epileptics and the Feebleminded; his successor, Dr. John H. Bell; and Dr. J.S. DeJarnette, superintendent of Western State Hospital or chronologically in the political and legislative series.","Other topics with significant material in these papers include: the American Legion; The Amherst Progress (for additional information about the newspaper and the partnership with Tucker, see Strode's incoming legal practice correspondence files under \"T\" containing letters from Stickly Tucker and Strode's outgoing legal practice correspondence files under \"S\"); Judge Advocate General material; Kenmore High School, Amherst County, Virginia; the Lynchburg Jail; Marshal Lodge Memorial Hospital, where Strode served on the Board of Directors; and political and legislative material.

Strode graduated from Kenmore High School at Amherst, and attended college at the University of Mississippi, Washington and Lee (1891-1892), and studied law at the University of Virginia, 1898-1899. Strode served as the principal of Ridgeway High School, Ridgeway, South Carolina, and Kenmore University High School, Amherst County, Virginia. The house \"Kenmore,\" was a colonial brick home built by Samuel Meredith Garland, whose granddaughter, Mildred Ellis, married Henry Aubrey Strode. Kenmore Farm became a preparatory high school operated by Henry Aubrey Strode between 1872 and 1889, and 1896-1899. Henry Aubrey Strode also served as the first president of Clemson University, 1890-1893. Aubrey Ellis Strode became principal and continued the school for a few years when his father fell ill. ","Upon the death of his parents and being the eldest of the remaining family, Strode decided to study law, passed the bar examination and began practicing law in Amherst County and Lynchburg. His first law partner was Stickley Tucker (1879-1912), the oldest son of Cornelius S. Tucker and Sallie Stickley Tucker.  Aubrey E. Strode and John William Stickley Tucker signed articles of agreement on December 31, 1902, becoming partners in the practice of law, pertaining to the counties of Amherst and Nelson, Virginia under the name of Strode and Tucker, beginning January 1, 1903, with the general office at Amherst Court House. This practice was distinct from the law practice of Aubrey Strode in Lynchburg, Virginia. Later a memorandum of partnership agreement between Aubrey E. Strode and J. Easley Edmunds, Jr. took effect on March 1, 1923 under the firm name of Strode and Edmunds, with Strode as the senior partner.","Strode represented Amherst County and Nelson County in the Virginia Senate, from 1906-1912, and 1916-1920 and was the elector at large in Virginia in 1928. He was an active member of the Democratic Party in Virginia and a popular public speaker supporting Democratic candidates during elections. During World War I, he joined the United States Army serving with the Judge Advocate General Department of the Officers' Reserve Corps. Strode was commissioned April 23, 1918 as Major Judge Advocate and then promoted to Lieutenant Colonel Judge Advocate May 15, 1919. While in service, he was on active duty at Washington, D.C. from May 15, 1918 until January 1919, and from February through August 1919, served with the American Expeditionary Forces at Chaumont and Paris, France. Strode was discharged on August 12, 1919.","Perhaps best known as the lawyer who wrote the statute known as the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924, Strode was also a long-time legal advisor to the Board of the State Colony for Epileptics and the Feeble-Minded. The Colony was located in Madison Heights near Lynchburg, Virginia, and authorized by a bill written in 1906 by Aubrey Strode in collaboration with Dr. Albert Priddy, who served as the first superintendent, and Joseph DeJarnette, superintendent at Western State Hospital in Staunton, Virginia.","He argued the case of Buck v. Bell before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1927. Carrie Buck was a young woman from Charlottesville who Dr. Priddy petitioned to have sterilized. Priddy died during the litigation and his successor as superintendent of the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and the Feeble Minded, Dr. John Bell, took up the cause. The Supreme Court upheld the statute instituting compulsory sterilization of the unfit \"for the protection and health of the state\" on May 2, 1927. The Supreme Court majority opinion was written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.","Strode was also a judge in the Corporation Court of Lynchburg (1933-1944). Strode died May 17, 1946 following his retirement from the bench due to poor health.","Biographical notes on Aubrey E. Strode siblings, wives and offspring is described in this subnote.","Aubrey E.

Du Pont Nemours papers consist of those            Du Pont manuscripts which were maintained at Nemours, the            family estate in Wilmington, Delaware. At some point they            were shipped to the offices of the Jessie Ball Du Pont            Religious, Charitable and Educational Fund in Jacksonville,            Florida. As designated by Jessie Ball duPont in her will,            the Nemours papers were donated to Washington and Lee            University, along with the duPont family papers located in            Jacksonville. Because of their distinct provenance it was            decided to process the papers from Nemours as a separate            series rather than integrating them into the Alfred I.            Du Pont Jacksonville papers or into the Jessie Ball Du Pont            Papers.","The original finding aid was funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in partnership with the History Associates Incorporated in 2001. Edits to this description for injest into ArchivesSpace were made by Graham McKemy and Mattie Clear in 2023.","This series is related to the duPont genealogy in France and the United States, family relics, and tributes to Alfred I. duPont. It also includes correspondence and notes and galley sheets by Marquis James in preparation for publication of his biography, \"Alfred I. duPont: The Family Rebel.\"","Items selected by Jesse Ball duPont, 1874-1940.","This series contains correspondence and legal documents relating to Alfred's relationship with his three wives and his children. His detailed correspondence with his adopted daughter Alicia through her childhood and early married years in Europe present an especially detailed picture of the lifestyle and spending habits of an extremely wealthy family. Alfred also carried on a lifelong correspondence with his daughter Madeleine who settled in Munich, Germany. Letters exchanged with his brother Maurice document the rise and fall of the powder business, other business activities, and numerous social events. Alfred's especially candid letters with his older sister Marguerite, whom it is said, was the only person he feared, reveal his most intimate thoughts and activities.","This series is made up of Alfred's extensive correspondence with cousins, nieces, and nephews, many of whom received his financial support. These included members of his third wife Jessie's family whom he adopted as his own. In his letters to his children he was especially warm and lighthearted, showing a side of his character which was not always evident in adult relations.","This series consists of correspondence between Alfred and his closest friends throughout his lifetime. Principal correspondents include James Hackett, a noted, flamboyant actor; Jimmy L. Dashiell, musician, entrepreneur, and one-time business manager of the duPont Company; and Dr. Charles Hanby, friend, family physician, and collaborator in many charitable enterprises.","Records contain correspondence regarding the operation of the Wilmington Morning News and other newspapers and their duPont influenced editorial policy. Other records related to E. M. Davis and T. W. Jakes, political informants on the duPont payroll, and Alfred's views on women's suffrage, World War I, welfare reform, and a host of other topics.","Business records document the early days of the duPont Powder Company at the turn of the century to its breakup in 1915. Included is correspondence between Alfred, his cousin,Frank Cazenove Jones, and his brother, Maurice duPont. The details of the duPont family lawsuit are covered, including the reports of lawyers and private detectives. Banking ventures, the Nemours Trading Co., a variety of business and real estate ventures, and Alfred's 1912 activities in Paris are included.","Intimate details of the duPont family are documented. Subjects include: deafness, storage of furs, jewels, purchase of antiques, intimate articles, home furnishings, clubs, personal views, poetry, and musical compositions by Alfred.","This series deals with Alfred's vast interest and knowledge of automobiles, pumps, machinery, and gadgets. It documents his lifelong preoccupation with the design and construction of yachts, particularly the Nenemoosha.","Alfred's Delaware estate, Nemours, was another lifelong project. These records document earliest plans and stages of construction. Correspondence with contractors describes details of decorations, placement of monuments, water systems, supervision of staff, purchase of antiques, decorating, landscaping, supplies, and operation of the \"Blue Ball\" farm as part of the estate.","The wide variety of duPont charities is documented. The record begins with Alfred's earliest doling out of small payments to the needy in his community to the establishment of hospitals and the reform of the welfare system for the state of Delaware. Alfred's increased interest in charities during the Great Depression is documented.","Florida records include correspondence with Edward Ball, Alfred's brother-in-law and business manager. Included are banking reports and records related to construction and upkeep of Epping Forest as well as Nemours.","The Nemours Papers are part of the Du Pont Family Collection         and consist of 15 linear feet of records dating from 1831 to         1947.

Born in Richmond, Virginia, he was the son of Charles Armistead Blanton and Elizabeth Brown Wallace Blanton. During his youth Blanton was exposed to both medicine and history, for his father and grandfather were physicians and both his parents' families included Virginians who had been famous during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He received his early education at the Glebe School in Richmond, earned a B.A. at Hampden-Sydney College in 1910, and received an M.A. at the University of Virginia two years later.","World War I\nBlanton studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in New York, but he also studied in Europe and was in Berlin when World War I began. In 1915 he volunteered to serve in the American Ambulance Corps at the hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. He then returned to New York, received an M.D. in 1916, and began his medical internship at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. After the United States entered World War I, Blanton was commissioned a captain in the Army Medical Corps and served until 1919 without being sent abroad. He then completed his internship at Bellevue Hospital in the same year. On 1 January 1918 Blanton married Natalie Friend McFaden, who became a civic and political activist and a poet. They had three sons and one daughter.","Medical College of Virginia\nAfter completing his internship, Blanton returned to Richmond and joined the private medical practice of his brother, Howson Wallace Blanton, and their father. He also began a long association with the Medical College of Virginia as chief of laboratory service at the college's hospital. Blanton became an associate in medicine in 1920, assistant professor in 1925, associate professor by the end of the decade, and professor of clinical medicine in 1939. In 1936 he founded the outpatient department's immunology clinic, which had become one of the largest units of the medical school by the time he retired in 1954. Blanton was active in more than a dozen professional and learned organizations. He served as president of the Richmond Academy of Medicine and the Richmond Society of Internal Medicine and as vice president of the Southern Medical Association and the American Academy of Allergy.","Medical Writing\nBlanton entered medicine during one of its most exciting periods, as scientific thinking was newly emphasized, hospitals and laboratories were established or reorganized, and X rays and aseptic surgery were employed. During and immediately following World War I he published five articles on bacteria and on such epidemic diseases as polio, acute respiratory infections, streptococcal diseases, and diphtheria in such nationally known medical journals as the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Journal of Medical Research. During the ensuing decades Blanton's research led to articles in the medical literature on chemical therapeutic drugs; on other infectious diseases including tuberculosis, anthrax, herpes zoster, and infectious jaundice; on such physiological disorders as cardiac standstill, hemochromatosis, and orthostatic albuminuria; on changes in blood-cell counts and types; on fevers, sudden death, and hypertension; and on ways of learning what was occurring within the body without exploratory surgery. Altogether, Blanton published thirty-six articles in fourteen medical journals between 1917 and 1957 as well as two textbooks, A Manual of Normal Physical Signs (1926; 2d ed., 1930) and A Handbook of Allergy for Students and Practitioners (1942).","Blanton was also a pioneer in the field of medical history. In 1927 he published a historical article in the Virginia Medical Monthly and became the first chairman of the historical committee of the Medical Society of Virginia, which hoped to sponsor the publication of a history of medicine in Virginia. The other committee members achieved this goal by deferring to Blanton, who conducted his own research, employed research assistants, and wrote three large volumes entitled Medicine in Virginia in the Seventeenth Century (1930), Medicine in Virginia in the Eighteenth Century (1931), and Medicine in Virginia in the Nineteenth Century (1933). Organized in a coherent and useful fashion and written in a readable and interesting style, the three volumes of Medicine in Virginia stood out among other state medical histories published during the same decade. They were milestones in the evolution of American medical scholarship and have stood the test of time. Blanton supplemented his books with about two dozen articles on various aspects of medical history and the history of medical education that appeared in at least ten journals, newspapers, magazines, and reference works between 1927 and 1957.","In 1933 the board of the Medical Society of Virginia elected Blanton editor of its Virginia Medical Monthly, a position he filled with distinction until 1942. Following his retirement from that post he remained on the monthly's editorial board as editor emeritus for eighteen more years. From 1939 to 1942 Blanton served on the editorial board of the Annals of Medical History. He was a consulting editor of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences from its founding in 1946 until his death, and he sat on the editorial board of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine from 1953 to 1960. In 1958 the Medical College of Virginia named him professor emeritus of clinical medicine and the history of medicine.","Historical Writing\nBlanton did not confine his interests to medicine and medical history. He was one of a group of Richmond men who in the 1930s began to compile a volume of biographies of some of Virginia's leading citizens. The one volume to appear was published in Richmond in 1936 as the start of a projected second series of Men of Mark in Virginia, continuing a five-volume work of that name edited by Lyon Gardiner Tyler between 1906 and 1909. The new volume featured a large number of physicians and Richmond residents, suggesting that Blanton exercised a strong influence over its production. He also wrote a centennial history of his church, The Making of a Downtown Church: The History of the Second Presbyterian Church, Richmond, Virginia, 1845–1945 (1945), prepared a number of short articles and papers on various aspects of Virginia's history, belonged to several historical and patriotic societies, and was a founder of the Historic Richmond Foundation. During service on the board of the Virginia Historical Society from 1945 until his death, he chaired the board's publications committee, supported the publication of additional primary source materials and scholarly articles of a higher quality in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, and helped make the society's collections more useful and accessible to scholarly researchers. Blanton was serving his second year as president of the Virginia Historical Society at the time of his death.","Blanton sat on the board of trustees of Mary Baldwin College from 1932 to 1940. He was a member of the board of Richmond's Union Theological Seminary from 1941 to 1958 and chairman from 1958 until his death. Wyndham Bolling Blanton died of a heart attack at his home in Richmond on 6 January 1960 and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery in that city.","\nSources Consulted:\nMen of Mark in Virginia, 2d ser.

Born in Richmond, Virginia, he was the son of Charles Armistead Blanton and Elizabeth Brown Wallace Blanton. During his youth Blanton was exposed to both medicine and history, for his father and grandfather were physicians and both his parents' families included Virginians who had been famous during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He received his early education at the Glebe School in Richmond, earned a B.A. at Hampden-Sydney College in 1910, and received an M.A. at the University of Virginia two years later.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWorld War I\nBlanton studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in New York, but he also studied in Europe and was in Berlin when World War I began. In 1915 he volunteered to serve in the American Ambulance Corps at the hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. He then returned to New York, received an M.D. in 1916, and began his medical internship at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. After the United States entered World War I, Blanton was commissioned a captain in the Army Medical Corps and served until 1919 without being sent abroad. He then completed his internship at Bellevue Hospital in the same year. On 1 January 1918 Blanton married Natalie Friend McFaden, who became a civic and political activist and a poet. They had three sons and one daughter.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eMedical College of Virginia\nAfter completing his internship, Blanton returned to Richmond and joined the private medical practice of his brother, Howson Wallace Blanton, and their father. He also began a long association with the Medical College of Virginia as chief of laboratory service at the college's hospital. Blanton became an associate in medicine in 1920, assistant professor in 1925, associate professor by the end of the decade, and professor of clinical medicine in 1939. In 1936 he founded the outpatient department's immunology clinic, which had become one of the largest units of the medical school by the time he retired in 1954. Blanton was active in more than a dozen professional and learned organizations. He served as president of the Richmond Academy of Medicine and the Richmond Society of Internal Medicine and as vice president of the Southern Medical Association and the American Academy of Allergy.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eMedical Writing\nBlanton entered medicine during one of its most exciting periods, as scientific thinking was newly emphasized, hospitals and laboratories were established or reorganized, and X rays and aseptic surgery were employed. During and immediately following World War I he published five articles on bacteria and on such epidemic diseases as polio, acute respiratory infections, streptococcal diseases, and diphtheria in such nationally known medical journals as the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Journal of Medical Research. During the ensuing decades Blanton's research led to articles in the medical literature on chemical therapeutic drugs; on other infectious diseases including tuberculosis, anthrax, herpes zoster, and infectious jaundice; on such physiological disorders as cardiac standstill, hemochromatosis, and orthostatic albuminuria; on changes in blood-cell counts and types; on fevers, sudden death, and hypertension; and on ways of learning what was occurring within the body without exploratory surgery. Altogether, Blanton published thirty-six articles in fourteen medical journals between 1917 and 1957 as well as two textbooks, A Manual of Normal Physical Signs (1926; 2d ed., 1930) and A Handbook of Allergy for Students and Practitioners (1942).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBlanton was also a pioneer in the field of medical history. In 1927 he published a historical article in the Virginia Medical Monthly and became the first chairman of the historical committee of the Medical Society of Virginia, which hoped to sponsor the publication of a history of medicine in Virginia. The other committee members achieved this goal by deferring to Blanton, who conducted his own research, employed research assistants, and wrote three large volumes entitled Medicine in Virginia in the Seventeenth Century (1930), Medicine in Virginia in the Eighteenth Century (1931), and Medicine in Virginia in the Nineteenth Century (1933). Organized in a coherent and useful fashion and written in a readable and interesting style, the three volumes of Medicine in Virginia stood out among other state medical histories published during the same decade. They were milestones in the evolution of American medical scholarship and have stood the test of time. Blanton supplemented his books with about two dozen articles on various aspects of medical history and the history of medical education that appeared in at least ten journals, newspapers, magazines, and reference works between 1927 and 1957.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn 1933 the board of the Medical Society of Virginia elected Blanton editor of its Virginia Medical Monthly, a position he filled with distinction until 1942.

From 1939 to 1942 Blanton served on the editorial board of the Annals of Medical History. He was a consulting editor of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences from its founding in 1946 until his death, and he sat on the editorial board of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine from 1953 to 1960.

The one volume to appear was published in Richmond in 1936 as the start of a projected second series of Men of Mark in Virginia, continuing a five-volume work of that name edited by Lyon Gardiner Tyler between 1906 and 1909. The new volume featured a large number of physicians and Richmond residents, suggesting that Blanton exercised a strong influence over its production.

Born in Richmond, Virginia, he was the son of Charles Armistead Blanton and Elizabeth Brown Wallace Blanton. During his youth Blanton was exposed to both medicine and history, for his father and grandfather were physicians and both his parents' families included Virginians who had been famous during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He received his early education at the Glebe School in Richmond, earned a B.A. at Hampden-Sydney College in 1910, and received an M.A. at the University of Virginia two years later.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWorld War I\nBlanton studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in New York, but he also studied in Europe and was in Berlin when World War I began. In 1915 he volunteered to serve in the American Ambulance Corps at the hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. He then returned to New York, received an M.D. in 1916, and began his medical internship at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. After the United States entered World War I, Blanton was commissioned a captain in the Army Medical Corps and served until 1919 without being sent abroad. He then completed his internship at Bellevue Hospital in the same year. On 1 January 1918 Blanton married Natalie Friend McFaden, who became a civic and political activist and a poet. They had three sons and one daughter.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eMedical College of Virginia\nAfter completing his internship, Blanton returned to Richmond and joined the private medical practice of his brother, Howson Wallace Blanton, and their father. He also began a long association with the Medical College of Virginia as chief of laboratory service at the college's hospital. Blanton became an associate in medicine in 1920, assistant professor in 1925, associate professor by the end of the decade, and professor of clinical medicine in 1939. In 1936 he founded the outpatient department's immunology clinic, which had become one of the largest units of the medical school by the time he retired in 1954. Blanton was active in more than a dozen professional and learned organizations. He served as president of the Richmond Academy of Medicine and the Richmond Society of Internal Medicine and as vice president of the Southern Medical Association and the American Academy of Allergy.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eMedical Writing\nBlanton entered medicine during one of its most exciting periods, as scientific thinking was newly emphasized, hospitals and laboratories were established or reorganized, and X rays and aseptic surgery were employed. During and immediately following World War I he published five articles on bacteria and on such epidemic diseases as polio, acute respiratory infections, streptococcal diseases, and diphtheria in such nationally known medical journals as the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Journal of Medical Research. During the ensuing decades Blanton's research led to articles in the medical literature on chemical therapeutic drugs; on other infectious diseases including tuberculosis, anthrax, herpes zoster, and infectious jaundice; on such physiological disorders as cardiac standstill, hemochromatosis, and orthostatic albuminuria; on changes in blood-cell counts and types; on fevers, sudden death, and hypertension; and on ways of learning what was occurring within the body without exploratory surgery. Altogether, Blanton published thirty-six articles in fourteen medical journals between 1917 and 1957 as well as two textbooks, A Manual of Normal Physical Signs (1926; 2d ed., 1930) and A Handbook of Allergy for Students and Practitioners (1942).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBlanton was also a pioneer in the field of medical history. In 1927 he published a historical article in the Virginia Medical Monthly and became the first chairman of the historical committee of the Medical Society of Virginia, which hoped to sponsor the publication of a history of medicine in Virginia. The other committee members achieved this goal by deferring to Blanton, who conducted his own research, employed research assistants, and wrote three large volumes entitled Medicine in Virginia in the Seventeenth Century (1930), Medicine in Virginia in the Eighteenth Century (1931), and Medicine in Virginia in the Nineteenth Century (1933). Organized in a coherent and useful fashion and written in a readable and interesting style, the three volumes of Medicine in Virginia stood out among other state medical histories published during the same decade. They were milestones in the evolution of American medical scholarship and have stood the test of time. Blanton supplemented his books with about two dozen articles on various aspects of medical history and the history of medical education that appeared in at least ten journals, newspapers, magazines, and reference works between 1927 and 1957.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn 1933 the board of the Medical Society of Virginia elected Blanton editor of its Virginia Medical Monthly, a position he filled with distinction until 1942. Following his retirement from that post he remained on the monthly's editorial board as editor emeritus for eighteen more years. From 1939 to 1942 Blanton served on the editorial board of the Annals of Medical History. He was a consulting editor of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences from its founding in 1946 until his death, and he sat on the editorial board of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine from 1953 to 1960.

The one volume to appear was published in Richmond in 1936 as the start of a projected second series of Men of Mark in Virginia, continuing a five-volume work of that name edited by Lyon Gardiner Tyler between 1906 and 1909. The new volume featured a large number of physicians and Richmond residents, suggesting that Blanton exercised a strong influence over its production. He also wrote a centennial history of his church, The Making of a Downtown Church: The History of the Second Presbyterian Church, Richmond, Virginia, 1845–1945 (1945), prepared a number of short articles and papers on various aspects of Virginia's history, belonged to several historical and patriotic societies, and was a founder of the Historic Richmond Foundation. During service on the board of the Virginia Historical Society from 1945 until his death, he chaired the board's publications committee, supported the publication of additional primary source materials and scholarly articles of a higher quality in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, and helped make the society's collections more useful and accessible to scholarly researchers.
