writes of the founders, Robert Gay was a

1776 and moved to England. He changed his
attitude after the Wars end and moved back
to Boston. Gay formed a partnership with
William C. Hunneman, a former apprentice
to Paul Revere and set up 19 Union Street in

points out that the blunt end handle on

For two similar examples in the Winterthur
collection, see Fennimore, Metalwork in
Early America, p. 70. Of this and other early
Newport posnets in his collection, Mr. Roth
writes Although bronze is described as
principally copper and...tin, these examples
are...approximately 78% copper with varying
percentages of...lead, tin and zinc and
very minor amounts of silver and antimony
probably incorporated into the casting by
being part of the impure copper as found but
not completely purged.

20 1/2 x 24 in., in original gilt-gesso frame,

Note: A small account book kept by John
Hohorst accompanies the painting. It notes
the purchase of the sloop yacht Defyer
on April 3, 1896 from H.J. Potter per A.P.
Seripture of New York City. It was formerly
named the Rob Roy. It was purchased by
John and his brother Louis (Louie) Hohorst,
of Brooklyn, New York, for $360.00. Part of
Louies share was in exchange for his watch,
which was valued at $33.00. The sloop was
later sold to the Tuxedo Boat Club in 1901 for
$250.00. Louie was given his watch back,
...and everything is squared out of his $88.19
investment. The account book lists in great
detail the expenditures these two men paid
to refurbish the vessel. It also has detailed
measurements of the craft. Also listed is an
account of Johns horseracing bets for the
years 1902-03.
Mary E. Yorke was the widow of artist William
G. Yorke, with whom she had collaborated.
She lived across the street from the Hohorsts,
who worked at Van Brunt Street in Brooklyn.
Mary painted two portraits of the Defyer for
the Hohorst brothers, of which this is one.

Scrimshaw Whales Tooth Showing the

banner reading The Frances on the Coast
of Peru, above the whaleship with crew
hoisting the blanket piece aboard and three
whaleboats at the bow, and motto Death to
the living, long life to the killers,/Success to
the sailors wives & greasy luck to whalers
below, the other side carved with banner
reading The Frances on her homeward
bound passage, with lighthouse off the port
bow, and inscription Ship Frances of New
Bedford below, the tip carved on one side
with crossed American ags, the other with
an anchor above the signature Eng. by Fredk
Myrick, and eagle clutching arrows and an
olive branch, below a vine and star border and
banner inscribed E Pluribus Unum, (small
chip to tip), ht. 6 1/2 in.
Provenance: Reportedly traded to the owners
grandfather in the late 19th century by a hobo
in a exchange for a meal. To the owners
mother in 1925. To the consignor about 1974.
Literature: This tooth, one of two known
showing the whaleship Frances, is illustrated
and discussed in Frederick Myrick of
Nantucket Scrimshaw Catalogue Raisonn,
compiled by Donald E. Ridley, P.E., and edited
by Stuart M. Frank, Ph.D. (Kendall Whaling
Museum, Sharon, Massachusetts, 2000), as
tooth #30 F-1, p. 31.
Note: In a biographical note that appears in
the catalogue raisonn, Stuart Frank writes
that Frederick Myrick is undoubtedly the
most famous scrimshaw artist...[and his] work
will likely always remain a cornerstone of any
scrimshaw collection.
Myricks work, according to Frank in Ingenious
Contrivances, Curiously Carved: Scrimshaw in
the New Bedford Whaling Museum (David R.
Godine, Boston, 2012) is collectively known
as Susans Teeth. Today, connoisseurs
regard Susans Teeth as the benchmarks
of any collection. (p. 22). Myrick is known
to have produced approximately thirty-ve
teeth, most of which do indeed show the
whaleship Susan, on which he spent three
years during a voyage to the Pacic. His teeth,
according to Frank, are each engraved on
both sides, each with two procient portraits
of the same ship, whether whaling, cutting in,
or homeward bound, and each with spread
eagles, anchors, ags, and mottos. They are
very much alike; and yet each one is unique,
with the same components used over and
over again, but differently deployed in each
case, in conformity with the the contour of
each of the individual teeth. (p. 22).

Conditions of Sale
1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below
which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of
Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or
raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.
2. All property is sold as is, and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property,
and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship,
attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall
be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer
shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have
sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the
accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate.
4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a
monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or item lot not paid for within thirty-five (35) days of the date of sale.
Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale. If any property has not been
removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage
charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three days, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. may place the merchandise in a subsequent
auction, without Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds
to the purchaser.
5. Skinner accepts cash or check for payment. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner, Inc. or if a bank authorization has
been received guaranteeing a personal check. Skinner, Inc. reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank.
The purchaser agrees to pay Skinner, Inc. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Please contact Accounting for additional payment
methods. Skinner does not accept payment by credit card for merchandise purchases.
6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all items for which it was
the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any
payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchasers breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the
purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of
sale.
7. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such purchaser for such item.
8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and
overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered
species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities
is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers
from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a
Massachusetts exemption number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston.

person, through a representative, by phone, by Internet, or other absentee bid.
