Description
Brelco Engine Order Telegraph From Known 19th Century Ship an early model, all brass construction, marked BRELCO / 55 VANDAM ST. / NEW YORK, placed upon a deck-mounted pedestal.
39.75 in.
From the bark ""Doon,"" built in 1870. This classic sailing ship plied the Atlantic until 1920 when she was dis-masted and converted into a lumber barge. Based in Mobile, the ""Doon"" spent her last days servicing Florida real estate developers on behalf of the Eastman-Gardinier Lumber Co. When she was finally scuttled, many of the ""Doon`s"" elements went into private nautical collections. The items presented here belonged to McWhorter Beers (1886-1969), a Laurel, Mississippi banker who was with Eastman-Gardinier Lumber as a young man. The consignor, whose father acquired these relics from the Beers Estate, aptly states that their present sale will ""mark the final disassembly of the `Doon.`""
Private Collection of a Lady, Chapel Hill, NC Wear consistent with use; mellow old brass patina throughout.
