A rare 19th century blacksmith - made iron slave collar.  Found in Tennessee.  With authenticity.

A silk 39 star American flag.  There never was an "official" 39 star U.S. flag. However, flag manufacturers betting on early sales misjudged in 1889 by believing the two Dakotas would be admitted as one state and the others would be delayed until after the 4th of July. Both Dakotas, Montana and Washington were made into states in November, 1889 and Idaho was admitted July 3, 1890! So any 39 star flags in existence were probably made in the fall of 1889.  

An original Adams Family illustration signed by illustrator and artist Charles Addams.  Ink wash on illustration board.
