<span style="font-size: large;">The Sea Cottage Addition was a 38 acre tract of land that bordered Pine St. in the original Town of Cape Charles and on the west by the Cheasapeake Bay. The land was thought to be useless because it was low and marshy. It was laid out in 146 lots and added Bay and Harbor Avenues to the existing town.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The value of this property was quickly realized by two individuals. On June 7, 1904, W. B. Wilson and R.D.L. Fletcher, at that time manager and assistant manager of the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hollywood Farm</span><span style="font-size: large;">, </span><span style="font-size: large;">purchased 4 lots in block #001. On Jan. 14, 1908, Fletcher purchased 6 lots, 079, 080, 083, 084, 087 and 088 in block #002. It was on this property that R.D.L. Fletcher built his home, which is now the <b><a href="https://thenorthampton.com/" target="_blank">Northampton Hotel</a></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The plat map for this tract was not recorded until April 10, 1911, with it was recorded the purchase of 10 lots by the Cape Charles Real Estate Corporation.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Fletcher is listed in "Colonial Families of The United States of America" through his Mother`s family, the Lees of Maryland. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">R.D.L. Fletcher is a descendant of Henry Fletcher who in 1779 was appointed by Gov. Patrick Henry of Virginia, High Sheriff for Accomack County to collect revenue for carrying on the war. Henry was born in England and died in 1799 in Accomack County.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Below are some other ventures Fletcher was invloved in according to local newspaper articles:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Accomac County Court Dec. 1883: Richard D. L. Fletcher qualified as assistant for Spencer D. Fletcher (his Father), commissioner of revenue for district No. 1.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Feb. 1887, RDL Fletcher was elected Vice President of Accomac and Northampton Agriculural Society.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">"The Cape Charles Ice and Lumber Company was organized about 1887 and is composed of W. B. Wilson, R. D. L. Fletcher and J. W. Waples. It is the largest dealer in lumber, building materials, ship chandlery, ice and coal, hardware, etc., in the country. It has the entire trade in its line in Cape Charles, besides supplying the lower end of the peninsula with its wares, including a portion of Accomac county." Every court day R.D. L. Fletcher would be in Accomac taking orders.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1901, Cape Charles Ice and Lumber Company was moved from its location on the south side of the harbor (Bloodfield) to lot numbers 063, 066 and 067 in block #001 near Pine St. on Mason Ave and renamed Cape Charles Sash and Lumber Co. until 1905 when W. B. Wilson dissolved the partnership with Flecther and Waples. Wilson renamed it Cape Charles Hardware Company and moved it to the 200 block of Mason Ave. Presently, this business operates under the name of Watson`s Hardware in the 200 block of Mason Ave.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">In December 1888, Fletcher married Elise Marie Evans of New Brunswick, New Jersey. Her Father & family members were Engineers & attorneys involved in building complex railroad projects in Chile and elsewhere.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mr. & Mrs. J. A. Mister, recent managers of Roosevelt Hotel, bought the R.D.L. Fletcher house from the estate in early 1938 and remodeled it adding a west wing and opened it as the <b>Northampton Hotel</b>. A Feb. 1938 newspaper article boasted the hotel had 30 bedrooms all with running water, 13 of which have private baths and a dining room that seats 22, but can accomodate 40 more. "With opening here of the Northampton Hotel by Mr. and Mrs. John A. Mister, owners and operators, Cape Charles will have as near an up to the minute transient hotel as will be found south of Salisbury if not Wilmington Del. Situated on the beachfront at the corner of Bay Avenue and Mason Ave, known as the R.D.L. Fletcher residenceand considered one of the finer homes of Cape Charles during its time, this building has been remodeled with an additional west wing and refurnished throughout. The entire building is heated by a well regulated hot water system."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The original R.D.L. Fletcher residence is on the right end of the hotel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 1940s, Cape Charles was a bustling town with a harbor accomodating three types of passenger and freight transportation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not much is known about the history of the hotel from the late 1950s through the 1980s. In May 1950, the Virginia Ferry Corporation moved its Eastern Shore terminal from the harbor at Cape Charles to the new ferry terminal at Kiptpeke, which hurt the town financially. On April 15, 1964, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel opened and changed transportation forever on the Eastern Shore.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>HISTORIC RENOVATION BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO NORTHAMPTON HOTEL</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Walker/Humphrey family of the Eastern Shore of Va, with the help of their brother`s architectural firm, The Patina Group of Richmond Va, put their hearts and souls into a three year historic renovation of Northampton Hotel. It opened in May 2018, restored beyond its former glory. The historical architecture is intact and the hotel offers modern ammenities that make for a one of a kind experience. There is also a restaurant and gift shop on the first floor. All rooms have a water view.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The Eastern Shore of Virginia is the most beautiful place in the state and Cape Charles is a charming Victorian town where you will find peace and serenity. I know I have. I can`t think of a better place to stay and take in local history, relax on the beach, visit local shops, and museums such as <a href="https://capecharlesmuseum.org/" target="_blank">Cape Charles Museum and Welcome Center</a> and <a href="http://www.barrierislandscenter.org/" target="_blank">Barrier Island Center</a> . You will not find a franchise establishment of any kind in the Town of Cape Charles.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>12 July 1913 there was a Motion-Pictures Exhibitors League of America Convention and International </b><b>Motion-Pictures Exhibition in the Grand Central Palace. There was some trouble there lead by Samuel S. Trigger President of the New York State branch and there was a split in the league. With Frank A. Tichenor, Samuel Trigger left the convention. Thomas A. Edison and his wife attended the </b></span><b style="font-size: x-large;">International </b><b style="font-size: x-large;">Motion-Pictures Exhibition. Edison told a reporter in reference to the future of the moving picture: "Perfect opera, all delusions will be perfect and probably the actual color will be produced." When asked will this be your work? "Unless someone gets ahead of me" When asked will the talking pictures displace the silent drama? "No, both the speaking and silent moving pictures will continue to exist. Both will be improved. Both as they stand are just samples. Now we will go on to perfection.

While treasure hunting Saturday, I came across this curious 3 sided bottle embossed with Edwards` Banner Brand West Point Va. I purchased it without doing any research. The first thing I did was consult a friend who is a bottle expert to confirm the age and type of bottle.<br />
So knowing it was from 1900-1910 and a pickle bottle, I set out to research the company.<br />

I found absolutely nothing in any West Point Virginia history or West Point Historical Society site about Edwards Pickles. There was a huge fire there in 1903 that destroyed about 52 businesses. The only mention of a pickle factory was the later business by the name of Tidewater Pickle Company, but I knew it came about in the 1920`s and was not old enough.<br />
Finally, Monday morning, I found an article in the Baltimore Sun dated Sept. 19, 1900 titled "West Point Va, A Live Town Situated at The Headwaters of The York River". The article was clearly promoting West Point as a prime location for business, residence and for recreation. It was a time when many businesses were opening and established businesses were opening branches there.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>West Point, Va.,
Sept. 17</b>. This live town Is located in King William County, Va., Just at
the headwaters of the York river,' about 40 miles from the bay. The town being immediately
on salt water, with the finest drinking water from the celebrated artesian
wells, is very healthy. These wells can be had by any citizen for the sum of
$35, furnishing the best and purest drinking water. The town has about 2,000
Inhabitants and is constantly growing. Scarcely a vacant house can be found in
town at this time. There are several Important factories In operation and
building, while others are contemplating locating here on account of the many
natural advantages, such as line climate, cheap labor, deep water frontage,
fine rail and water facilities, good drinking water and free sites and other
good natural advantages. The oyster industry is very large and is constantly
growing. There are already five large packers and shippers here the Stansbury
Packing Company, the A. F. Smither Company. Dr. Geo. W. Richardson, Capt. J. Willie Marshall and Capt. J. L. Mulford.
These gentlemen work a large force and buy a quantity of oysters, besides what
they grow themselves. The York River Oyster is taking a stand with the best and
most celebrated of the country, and are shipped in large quantities South, West,
East and North. The Stansbury Company also handles in season a large quantity
of fresh fish, peas, peaches, berries and tomatoes. Their celebrated York River
brands of packed goods has taken a stand
at the top of tho market. The Ammonds Pickling Company, of Richmond, Va.,
opened a brining house here last season, where they handled many cucumbers.
This season they are handling many more, while the <b>B. W. Edwards Pickling Company </b>opened this season and have already
handled and brined over 2,000,000 cucumbers, and the season Is not yet over.<br />
<b>To
Utilize Cornstalks </b><br />
The Marsden Company, of Philadelphia, have located one of
their factories at this place and are spending about $150,000 in buildings and machinery.
They will begin operations about December 1, 1000, when they will buy all of
the waste cornstalks, usually thrown away or burned by the farmer to get off
his land. This company will manufacture many and various articles from the
inner portion of the stalk, making a very fine feed of the outer portion. They
will buy every cornstalk grown within five miles of our three rivers, giving the
farmers a good price for an article they are glad to have removed from their
lands. The Wheeler & Denmead Bros.' shipyard and marine railway Is located
here, where any vessel can be repaired, from the scraping and repainting of Its
bottom, to finishing the highest mast for the same. There are many stores of
each kind here, and any goods wanted clothing, furniture, groceries, hardware,
machinery, vehicles and farm Implements can be had as cheap as In the large
cities. There is yet room for many other factories, such as furniture, shoes, glass,
spokes, hubs, buggies, wagons, brooms, etc. The town and people will give free
sites, free of taxation, etc. <br />
<b>A Good
Farming Section </b><br />
The surrounding country is a good farming section. King
William County is noted for its fine wheat, grass, cattle, truck, fruit and
vegetable lands. The farmlands are yet cheap and can be bought on reasonable
terms. The town and country is reached daily by fine steamers from Baltimore,
Md., Norfolk. Va., and three trains a day from Richmond, Va. There is no
denying the fact that this region is an excellent one for sportsmen. The fields
and marshes are every season alive with the cries of plover, graybacks, golden-plover,
snipe, yellow-shanks, willet and doe birds, all fat and Juicy from feeding upon
the richest food, obtained both from land and water. Later the succulent
butterballs fall in hundreds beneath the aim of the marksmen. When cold weather
has set in red-head, mallard and black ducks, springtails, blackheads, and
gray-winged and blue-winged teal trail heron from the North In countless
myriads and make the waters of the York, the Pamunkey and the Mattaponi
their feeding-grounds for many weeks.<br />
<b>Ideal place for Fishermen </b><br />
For the fisherman who
comes hither the greatest delights are in store. In the waters of the three
rivers, which meet in front of the Terminal Hotel, are never failing schools of the rarest and gamest fish the snapper, with scales of burnished
red; sheepshead, crafty and vicious in content with angler; Jumping mullets,
shaped like trout, but with broader heads; low-finned trout, whose habitat is
salt water- shad, rivaling in flavor and firmness of flesh their far-famed
migratory fellows of the Delaware; pompano, excelling in sweetness their brethren of Mobile bay;
spots, second only in the list of panfish and deriving their name from a
brilliant disk behind their gills: chicken-halibut, placed in these waters some
15 years ago by the United States Fish Commissioner, and more popular than all,
the rock and the croaker. The business men of the town have recently organized
a business men's association and are making efforts to get other Industries
located in the town by offering special Inducements. Mr. Ned Bland is president
and E. Wilkinson, Jr., secretary. The schools of the town are good, a good -graded
free school, with three teachers, while Prof. J. T. Walker. A. B., has a very fine academy for boys and
young men, who are prepared for business or college. Mrs. W. R. Broadus has
made a line reputation for her seminary for young ladies and girls, who are
given the usual English branches, with the languages and music.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">B. W. Edwards in the 1900 Federal Census for the town of West Point Va listed as a merchant with a wife and eight children. Third man listed on line 6. In the 1880 Census, he was still living in Rivanna, Albemarle County Va. and listed as a Carpenter.</span><br />

He was also involved in local politics. I found several articles in the Richmond Dispatch. Jan. 26, 1898, Arrivals Baltimore 25 Jan. 1898, Schooner Charles Linthicum, Colsten from Bermuda Hundred, lumber to Edwards & Asendorf. (Asendorff was his partner for a while). Feb. 12, 1901 Mr. Edwards authorized B.W. Hefferson and J. L. Munford to erect a wharf, dock or pier on their lots situated in the Town of West Point. 7 May 1901, Arrival, Baltimore, 6 May, Schooner Maggie, Simmons, from Sander`s Va., Lumber to </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Edwards & Asendorf.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> May 11, 1901, Mr. Simon Lichty, and listed as German Yiddish and a merchant living in West Point in 1900, removed his family to Portsmouth, where in partnership with Mr. B.W. Edwards, he is successfully engaged in business. Lichty is listed as a Jeweler in 1910 with his own store in Portsmouth. April 18, 1902, Edwards was running for Mayor against A. W. Eastwood. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">May 24, 1902 he lost the election to A.W. Eastwood. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">January 24, 1903 he suspends publication of "The State Republican" which he has been publishing for the last six moths. The town is in darkness because the electric plant is in want of fuel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">He must have moved to Baltimore after the 1903 fire in West Point and concentrated on his lumber business. His sons joined him in the lumber business and his business at death was listed as B.W. Edwards & Sons. He died of a heart attack Sept. 6, 1908. He was originally from Albemarle County Virginia. </span><br />

Gallery Association: America Oh Yes at Hilton Head Island, SC and Washington, DC<br />
Work shown at other Venues: The Inn at Glen Echo, Glen Echo, Maryland; Washington Design Center, Art on Six, Washington, DC; Folkfest, Atlanta, Georgia<br />
The Bio below was used on the America Oh Yes Gallery website in the late 1990`s, where he had his first shows and enjoyed success as a Visionary Folk Artist. <br />
<br />
“Michael Cook's interest in art began more than twenty five years ago during high school. He has no formal training and previous efforts in art were restricted to pencil sketching. A few years after high school Michael's creative endeavors fell by the wayside and receded into the past, for the most part forgotten. During the intervening years he worked in a environmental/technical engineering field, including a stint as a facility manager for a public utility. In August of 1998 Michael was involved in a motorcycle accident. This became a crux for reflection and change. He walked out of a fourteen year career and started his own business. Finding some success but little satisfaction, he culled the business back and took a job to pay the bills, and began painting. These paintings seem to fill a deep need for primitive spiritual expression. Their source is Michael's remembrances as a child in Arkansas. He finds it very odd, but compelling to be involved in art after so many years. Michael spent much time and effort seeking what had always been right in front of him.”<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8571px;">"The next three months (November 1944 through January 1945) were frustrating, to say the least. Schools worked hard to train the lead crews, determined to improve bombing accuracy. Enormous efforts were made to upgrade maintenance. The depot had to start all over again, and in the meantime the air supply from Sacramento had to be improved. More missions were run against Japanese engine and aircraft factories. But the weather was a terrible opponent, and there was no intelligence of its movements. Japanese fighter opposition was desperate but not deadly, at least in comparison with German fighters. Air kamikaze-ramming tactics were tried with some success. Morale was a critical problem. The airplane engines were still unreliable. Aircraft disabled from combat or other causes were 1,500 miles from friendly territory. The crews had the choice of drowning or bailing out over Japan, to be executed by maddened Japanese. The U.S. Navy contributed tremendously to morale by stationing rescue submarines at intervals along the route. Their performance was superb. One submarine entered Tokyo Bay in daylight and picked up a B-29 crewright under the guns of the Japanese. From November 1944 to August 1945, 600 Twentieth Air Force flyers were saved in open-sea rescues. The system involved Navy flying boats, B-17s (Dumbos) carrying droppable lifeboats, B-29s (Superdumbos), and submarines, all under Navy control. The system was largely the achievement of my <b>Navy Liaison Officer, Comdr. George C. McGhee</b>."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Colonel & Aide de Camp</span><br />
<br />
Identified officer was Colonel & Aide de Camp to Governor E.L. Trinkle. See photo below of Register Officers Virginia Volunteers from State Archives at the Library of Virginia. Officer listed as "Colonel & Aide de Camp, staff of Governor & Commander & Chief" This officer, Irving Vallandigham Parham was a prominent citizen of Petersburg Virginia. He was one of several civic leaders who were instrumental in having Camp Lee built at the present Fort Lee site in WWI. He lost his right hand and possibly part of his arm around 1913. The shoulder cord is on the left shoulder as found. Not sure if this because of the missing limb or if it is historically correct. Parham served on the Chamber of Commerce, was Mayor of Petersburg, but resigned to become City Treasurer, where he remained for 30 years up until his death in 1961.<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here is the text taken directly from the Historical Marker at the old Johnson Manufacturing Company building in Urbana Ohio.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "arial" , sans-serif;">The Johnson Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1902 by brothers James B., J. Will, Isaac T., and Charles F. Johnson, all of Quaker heritage. The company manufactured tin and galvanized iron ware for railroad lines across the United States. The initial product was the No. 1 long-spouted locomotive oiler with the patented dripless spout. That was quickly followed by other types of oil cans, signaling equipment, engine buckets, tallow pots, torches, track inspection devices, tin cups, and caboose and cabin car lamps, all carrying the Diamond J trademark. The makers created the patterns and everything was cut, riveted, and soldered by hand. As production expanded, the original frame building at 605 Miami Street was replaced by a brick structure in 1910, the southernmost part of the present building. Subsequent additions expanded capacity and the Johnson Manufacturing Company became a national leader in the manufacture of railroad operating supplies. During the Great Depression, the Roll Rite cigarette roller, poultry waterers, and hygrometers were produced from patented Johnson designs. About 1939, the firm turned from railroads to the trucking industry, designing and manufacturing air and vacuum reservoirs for brake systems. In the 1970s, during the presidency of Charles F. Johnson III, the historic original building was restored, a product museum created, the 75th anniversary of the firm celebrated, and a permanent collection of original art, including work by Champaign County artists, hung in the firm's offices to honor the heritage of the company and the community." </span></span><br />

As you can see after reading the company history above, they manufactured railroad operating supplies from 1902 until the late 1930`s. I found this to be a very good source of information.<br />

Recently, I sold one of these cups (I have 3) on eBay. The buyer said it was not old and wanted to return it and claimed it was not as described. Here is the buyer`s comment on the return form:<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: red;">" I ve communicated with the mayor of Urbana, a major RR collector, and a sheet metal company. Though they may be incorrect, the consensus is the cup isn t as old as listed. An identical cup with a paper label for March of Dimes dated 1949 recently went unsold on e-bay."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 20px;">I sent the buyer this history to prove my cup was from the early 1900`s and told them that their sources were wrong and that comparing a March of Dimes cup with a Railroad cup was like comparing apples to oranges. The 1949 March of Dimes cup was probably made from the retired railroad </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 20px;">cup </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 20px;">pattern that was no longer being used.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 20px;">I hope some may find this amusing, as I am trying to see the humor, instead of taking ownership of it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 20px;">The pitfalls of trading on eBay are quite tiresome. While I reap the benefits of the millions of people who view my items, the ones that abuse the system and the few actual crackpots I have encountered make it questionable.</span><br />

Jahnke Pocket Watch Survives in Richmond VA Several months ago, a friend, one of the most experienced Jewelers in Richmond, showed me a pocket watch that an elderly friend wanted to sell. My friend Amy Shady knew how much I liked pocket watches and history and thought I would appreciate seeing it. I was intrigued from the moment I saw it. It was a ladies pocket watch with a dial that was marked "Jahnke Richmond VA". I had to begin research right away. Jahnke Road was about a mile from my house. I always wondered where the name came from, but never looked in to it.<br />
<br />
My research took me to the Jahnke Family Page on Rootsweb.ancestry.com. I have provided the link here. <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bensonarchives/JahnkeFamilyArchives/jahnke_family_page.htm" target="_blank">http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bensonarchives/JahnkeFamilyArchives/jahnke_family_page.htm</a><br />
<br />
Albert F. Jahnke, Sr., was born 1826 in Prussia. According to several newspaper articles, he immigrated to New York in 1848, stayed there for two years, moved to Petersburg Virginia and two years later moved to Richmond. He was a partner in a jewelry business called Myers & Jahnke. The The 1881 Richmond City Directory lists the store at 1201 E. Main St. The Virginia Select Marriages 1785-1940 lists his marriage to Mary B. Chaulkley Sept. 3rd 1859 in Henrico County. 1893 Richmond City Directory lists Albert F. Jahnke, watchmaker at 912 E Main Street in downtown Richmond and home in Chesterfield. He brought jeweler and
watchmaking skills from Prussia.<br />
Below is page 145 from a book published in 1903 "Richmond Virginia: The City on the James: The Book of Its Chamber of Commerce" with a photo and small bio (upper right). This book was digitized by Google and can be found in Google Books. The bio reads A.F. Jahnke , Founder of the business of Jahnke Bros., now conducted by A.F. Jahnke, Jr. Watchmakers, Jewelers and Opticians, 912 East Main Street. Established 1852. Fine Watch Making and Optical work a specialty. Largest stock of watches in the city. Agents for Patek, Phillippe & Co.<br />
Albert F. Jahnke, Sr. ran the business until 1890. His two sons ran it under the name Jahnke Brothers until their deaths. His daughter Minnie was the first woman jeweler in the state of Virginia and finally closed the business in 1952, a 100 year run.<br />
In the 1915 Richmond City Directory his residence is listed as the Virginia Building, which was an apartment building. He died there on November 27th 1915. He was the oldest jeweler and mason in the state.<br />

<br />
The pocket watch was purchased new and given to a young lady when she was about 18 years old. It is a Swiss movement with a serial number 1232259. The dial and movement ordered from the Swiss maker and are marked Jahnke Richmond. Then the customer would choose a case to hold the movement. The owner gave it to her friend who is now in her 90`s.<br />
The case is gold filled, although marked 14K. Information below on the case was gathered from NAWCC:<br />
James Boss patented the "gold filled" watch case in 1859. A JBoss marked watch case it will be "gold filled" and not 14k solid
gold.<br />
The Keystone-Watch-Case Co. purchased the patent and trademark rights
for the JBoss case from the previous owners and used it with their own
trademark.<br />
<div>
After Jan. 1, 1924 a "guaranteed" marked case was prohibited by the U.S. Govt. They were only mark 10 or 14 "gold filled" after that date.<br />
<br />
The pocket watch was taken to a jeweler at some point in recent years to be appraised. The watch was butchered by the jeweler. The front and back case are bent. The crystal is missing, and the previous owner stated the jeweler stole the jewels out of the watch. There ought to be a law.<br />
<br />
I bought the watch from the second owner so I could do some research and more than likely have it on display in my Antique Booth at Hickory Creek Antiques in Ashland Virginia. I had a reputable jeweler/watchmaker there give an estimate of $1800.00 to restore it. They seemed to think it was from around 1880. I was thinking 1900. I`d really like to raise the money to have it restored.<br />
<br />
What a piece of Richmond History! Enjoy the photos.<br />

Anyone interested in seeing it should contact me through this blog or at SundayHistorical@gmail.com. I am hoping someone can identify the movement without me removing the hands and dial to look behind for a makers mark.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my fellow jeweler and friend Amy Shady for making it possible for me to share this watch.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">UPDATE MAY 26, 2016</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">I have connected with a non commercial watch repairman and the Jahnke pocket watch is being restored. I hope to have it back toward the end of the year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This blog is in celebration of two artists I have the pleasure of working with at the jewelry manufacturing facility here in our fair city, Richmond Virginia.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The first artist is the first person I met when I came to work at the precious metals company. He is extremely talented and has since gone out on his own to make his way in this life using his hands. Greg has sold his work to The Mariners Museum Gift Shop and The Virginia Aquarium Gift Shop in the Tidewater Virginia area this year. Pieces can be purchased at the gift shops. Greg`s next show is at The 10th Annual Ginter Park Arts & Crafts Show.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Greg is waiting to hear from the Natural Bridge about another contract for work for their gift shop. Greg`s most recent work can be seen on his website at </span><span style="font-family: Handwriting-Dakota; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://gregmontgomerydesigns.com/">GregMontgomeryDesigns.com</a></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Handwriting-Dakota;"><span style="font-size: large;">Born in Radford, Virginia, 1955, I began
drawing at a very early age; as I began to grow the drawings became collages;
as I matured the collages became objects. For the past 30 years, these objects
have become my voice. </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"> The pieces I make in wood and
precious metals, explore my interest in adaptation. The forms I work with stem
from plant and animal anatomy often combining different aspects from each.
During my process of making, I am often reflecting on people’s roles in the
living world. I think about how we evolved to the place we are currently, and
what other possible changes could happen in the future. I consider my sculpture
to be organisms on the beginning of their evolutionary path. Referencing what
we are and where we came from, the pieces are created in recognition of the
past, while alluding to the future. The process of making this work is as
seductive to me as an artist, as I hope the work is for the viewer or wearer.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

1856 to 1865, the business of Littlefield, Parson & Co. gave
employment to from 75 to 199 hands. Very great success attended the
business after the first two or three years, particularly the
manufacture of the union cases. The demand for these goods was so great
that during a considerable part of the time the factory was run to its
utmost capacity, night and day, producing daily 89 to 150 dozen cases.
Although this case was a beautiful article, and ranked high in market,
its great success was due quite as much to the extraordinary demand
which existed at that time for cases of some sort, and if this company
had manufactured any other variety its success would have been
inevitable.</span></span><br>

Rare R. S. Prussia bowl mold # 106. Antique Reinhold Schlegelmilch porcelain manufactured between 1905-1910, marked with red & green Prussia Wreath & Star.<br />
Mold #106 (Mary Frank Gaston Collectors Encyclopedia of R. S. Prussia) - "five recessed domes alternating with fleur-de-lys sections" bowl measures 10.5 inches wide and 3.25 inches tall.<br />
<br />
The center pattern is Rose transfer, one bloomed and one not yet bloomed pink rose and one yellow rose with green leaf trim. Gold paint on edges is in good shape for its age, there is some minor gold loss. Bowl has a hairline crack and repair near top edge as evident in the two photos.<br />
<br />
This bowl was part of a designers estate and was in storage for many years until now.<br />
<br />
The close up photo of the mark was taken on microscope mode, hence the white LED dots. There is some reflection in the photos that could not be avoided and still use natural sunlight.<br />

The auction ends tonight, Sunday April 21, 2013 at 9:27pm EST. There are two bids at this writing.</b><br />
<b><br />I have included
the history of the Norfolk & Western Railway`s Hotel </b><b>Roanoke </b><b>belo</b>w.<br />
<br />
The Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke Virginia, was built in 1882 by the Norfolk and Western Railway (now part of the Norfolk Southern),
which had recently constructed its administrative offices in the city,
bringing in over a thousand railroad workers. It officially opened on Christmas Day,
1882. <i>1882</i><br />
<br />
Roanoke was a little town named Big Lick when enterprising railroad
magnate Frederick J. Kimball chose it as the site of a railroad juncture
and a major city. After Kimball combined two of his railroads into the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, he built his vision of a comprehensive
community with the Hotel Roanoke as its grand centerpiece. Travelers
coming to the city or breaking a tiring rail journey made the Hotel
Roanoke their haven.<br />
In July, 1898, a fire started in the kitchen which shut down the
hotel for several months. The hotel was reopened in January, 1899,
restored with a few additions.<br />
The next major renovation took place in 1938, remodeling the hotel to
have a more Tudor look. Additional new wings were added in 1947 and
1955.<br />
In 1989, deeded the Hotel Roanoke to the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Polytechnic_Institute_and_State_University" title="Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University">Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University</a>
(Virginia Tech) for $65,000 (USD). After the flag lowering ceremony on
November 30, the hotel was closed. Sale of the contents began and
continued for 17 days.<br />
In 1992, the "Renew Roanoke" campaign was launched to raise enough
money to reopen the hotel. Virginia Tech had set a deadline of December
31, 1992 to have enough money. By late fall, the campaign was still
short $1,000,000. In an unprecedented Christmas-time fundraiser, the
campaign succeeded, raising $5,006,000. Norfolk Southern then donated an
additional $2,000,000; 30 times what it received for the hotel. The
Hotel Roanoke reopened in 1995 and still operates today.<br />
Roanoke's landmark former passenger rail station was built across the
street from the hotel. In 2004, it was converted in a museum devoted to
the photography of O. Winston Link as well as housing the Roanoke Valley Visitors and Convention Bureau.<br />
<br />
This Norfolk & Western water carafe frame is in remarkably good condition as evident in the following photos<br />

<b>Thanks for checking out these Norfolk & Western Hotel Roanoke items from Sunday Historical</b>Sunday Historicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02823647325945330365noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753387618800456653.post-31320669917234908852013-02-26T15:28:00.000-08:002013-03-06T13:34:11.801-08:001950`s-60`s TV & Motion Picture Productions Exhibit at Virginia Production Alliance Meeting<span style="font-size: large;"> TV & Motion Picture Productions, Inc. owned by John C. Wood operated in the 1950`s and 1960`s in Richmond Virginia during the height of 16mm industrial films.</span><br />
<br />
Wood`s son <b>John C. Wood Jr</b>. and <b>John Payne</b> of (WWII Round Table of Virginia) were the presenters of an exhibition at the <a href="http://www.filmva.com/home.html" target="_blank">Virginia Production Alliance</a> Presentation and Meeting Monday night February 25th, 2013 at <a href="http://www.artworksrichmond.com/" target="_blank">Artworks</a>, featuring John C. Wood Jr.`s father`s company TV & Motion Picture Productions. The presentation was at 6:30 pm followed by a business meeting at 7:30. "<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.390625px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Virginia Production Alliance (VPA), headquartered in Richmond, was formed to promote production in the Commonwealth. We unite the Virginia creative community — professionals involved in film, video, audio and new media — and provide valuable e</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20.390625px;">ducational, social, and networking opportunities that help grow the industry."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20.390625px;"><br /></span>
The exhibit consisted of photos from John C. Wood`s life, including his days as a photographer for the <b style="font-style: italic;">Richmond Times-Dispatch </b>and his WWII service. The highlight of the exhibit was the continuous showing of a 16 mm film by TV & Motion Picture Productions made for the Appalachian Power Company (American Electric Power Company) in 1962 called <i style="font-weight: bold;">Sky Hook For A High Line</i>, which I secured from Creative Services at AEP Communications<i style="font-weight: bold;">. </i>J.C<i style="font-weight: bold;">.</i>Wood Jr. shared with the attendees his experiences accompanying his father on movie making adventures. He told of flying in helicopters and planes while his father shot footage while flying the crafts.<br />
<br />
Appalachian Power had a project to build power lines from Roanoke across the mountains to West Virginia. The mountainous terrain and limited access caused Appalachian Power to come with the idea of using helicopters to airlift aluminum transmission towers to remote locations. John C. Wood loved to fly and took some fantastic footage of the mountains of Virginia. In pages 3-12 of the book <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=ADj03_z7Zk0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=hollywood+homestyle&hl=en&sa=X&ei=QzgtUbL8BYix0AGT-IH4Dw&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA" target="_blank">Hollywood Homestyle: Making Motion Pictures During the Brief Heyday of 16mm Industrial Films</a>, Fred Frechette, author and one time partner of Wood, describes his experiences during his partnership with Wood and the filming of <i style="font-weight: bold;">Sky Hook For A High Line. </i>Frechette was present at the screening for the company`s top brass at AEP headquarters in New York .<br />
<br />
John C. Wood made a number of films for companies such as Reynolds Metal, Philip Morris, A.H. Robins Pharmaceuticals, Seaboard Airline Railroad, Thalhimers, American Machinery & Foundry, Westinghouse, General Electric, Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia Electric Power Company, and American Oil, before his death in 1967. TV & Motion Picture Productions had their office at 207 East Main Street as well as Dawn Street in Richmond Virginia. Wood was also a correspondent for CBS. John C. Wood <b>Jr.</b> has a vast collection of his fathers negatives which I hope to digitize over the next couple of years. It will be a huge undertaking, but there is a chunk of 1940`s -1960`s Richmond history waiting to be rediscovered when I turn those negatives in to photo images. John C. Wood Jr and I are discussing making some of the photographs available for sale as well.<br />
<br />
The manager of Creative Services at AEP has requested me to send photos made during the filming of <i style="font-weight: bold;">Sky Hook For A High Line</i> and the Smith Mountain Lake project to him to add to AEP`s historical archive.<br />
J.C. Wood Jr. worked with me at R.T. Sunday Company until it went out of business in 2004. We have remained friends ever since. I look forward to working with him on digitizing his fathers negative collection.<br />

Two images I made from Woods negatives were on display at the VPA presentation and I have included them in this post. Please contact Laura Smith at SundayHistorical@gmail.com regarding this post.<br />

<br />
I found this and could not pass it up. It predates the ultra sonic for cleaning jewelry and watch parts.<br />
<br />
The Master model L & R Precision Cleaning Machine manufactured by L&R Mfg. Arlington, N.J. Their technology sure has changed since they began business 80 years ago.<br />
<br />
This machine is so cool. It operates by lowering the motorized basket into one of 3 glass tanks, then lower it over the dryer (where it is pictured). It works and looks really cool. Just had to share this. Look for it soon on my website & online store <a href="http://www.sundayhistorical.com/">www.sundayhistorical.com</a><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>The Super Jet blow torch has instructions and 3 fuel tablets in the original tube.<br />
Manufactured by Birk MFG. Co. Niantic Conn. USA.<br />
The Super Jet Blow torch is model #113FT and the fuel tablets are #113F.<br />
The blow torch was intended for soft and silver soldering.<br />
Good for small parts as it has a slim design.<br />
The blow torch is listed as uncommon in the Vintage Torch Guide, which means it is not commonly found everywhere.<br />
The instructions are visible from the bottom of the plastic storage box.<br />
The manufacturing information is on each piece-torch, fuel and box.<br />
<br />
I probably will not use it so I have offered it for sale at my online store <a href="http://www.shop.sundayhistorical.com/Vintage-Jewelers-Watchmakers-Blow-Torch-Super-Jet-in-Original-Bo-2013033.htm" target="_blank">SundayHistorical.com</a> <br />

Here is an extremely nice
PAIR (2) of antique covered vegetable or serving dishes by the Edwin M.
Knowles China Company with a history. This pair of dishes was part of
the dinnerware service used at the Hallett`s Guest House in Historic
Cheriton Virginia on the Eastern Shore which operated from 1943-1968.
The house was purchased from the Upshur family in 1943. The dishes have
been untouched, wrapped & packed and stored since 1970. They were
just rediscovered in November 2012 and now put up for auction. I have
not cleaned them so my photos show some dust on the handles. Please see
photos for condition details.These two covered dishes were manufactured
between 1901-1909 according to the makers mark and are marked semi
vitreous. They are in very good condition with minor gold loss, no chips
or cracks. The finials and handles are intact and very ornate. I have
included in the photos, a copy of a postcard from the Hallett`s Guest
House and a photo of the sign that hung beside the front door when it
was in operation and will include them with the purchase. The Hallett
Guest House was listed by Duncan Hines as seen on the sign below. This is a chance to own a
piece of vanishing history. Please ask questions before bidding. There
is a little history on the Edwin Knowles China Company provided by
Robbins Nest below. Thanks for viewing.</div>
<div class="section-content ">
<a href="http://sundayhistorical.com/">SundayHistorical.com</a><br />
<br />
History: "Edwin M.
Knowles ( 1869-1943) was the son of Isaac Watt Knowles (1819-1902), a
founder and partner of the firm Knowles, Taylor, and Knowles Co., which
by the turn of the century had become the largest pottery in the world.
Edwin Knowles' father had helped pioneer many inventions that
revolutionized American dinnerware manufacture.<br />
<br />
Edwin M. Knowles
entered the pottery business after receiving his education at Allegheny
College and Harvard University. He took control of the Potters Supply
Company of East Liverpool, Ohio in 1890. By 1900, he became founder
and president of the Knowles China Company, which soon changed its name
to the Edwin M. Knowles China Co.<br />
<br />
The Knowles facility, located
in Chester, West Virginia, was described as a "model plant of the
highest order." Edwin Knowles determined that his firm would
manufacture only the finest semi-vitreous ware. One year later,
product from the plant was lauded by the Crockery and Glass Journal as
the highest grade ware: "weight is light, its finish the finest, its
shapes graceful, its decorations artistic, and its body and quality most
durable." Knowles' reputation for creating quality product became
known throughout the industry. Demand for Knowles product grew. It
wasn't long thereafter that plant No. 2 was erected, just two miles
south of plant No. 1 along the Ohio River in Chester, West Virginia in
Newell, West Virginia." </div>

<br />
James Netherwood was born in Yorkshire England in 1834. In "The City On The James" The Chamber of Commerce Book published by George W. Engelhardt in Richmond Va in 1893 James Netherwood is listed as a "contractor for stone work of all kinds, on a large scale, maintains yards of two acres area, lying on the water front of the city, at the foot of Virginia Street, between the river and the canal, and upon the line of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, which affords him transportation facilities direct". The article states that he was established in Richmond for more than thirty years and had used more more stone than all the other contractors for stone masonry here together. Netherwood did work in the South, but mainly in Virginia, the Carolina`s and Florida. Netherwood`s home was at 2612 E. Grace Street.<br />
<br />
He put up the Lee monument, The Soldiers` and Sailors` monument, and the Howitzers` monument. He executed contracts for stone work on the "new" Planters National Bank, "new" City Hall, Masonic Temple and the "new" Chamber of Commerce building.<br />

James Netherwood`s quarries on the south side of the river were at present day West 42nd & Riverside Drive and near the Granite Station north of Forest Hill Avenue (known then as the Granite Road) at the Richmond Danville Railroad Line. Stone from surrounding quarries was shipped as far north as New York. The largest shipments went to Washington where the State, War and Navy Building was constructed entirely from stone from the Forest Hill area quarries.<br />

Here, I will include a passage from the book "Chesterfield-An Old Virginia County" by Francis E. Lutz 1954, which gives details about an <b>18th century</b> house owned by Netherwood`s stone cutter and was owned by <b>William Byrd III `s associate James Patteson</b>.<br />
<br />
<b> "Before James Netherwood`s death he had a life-sized figure of himself carved out of granite from his quarry by Edward I. Schutte, a master stone cutter and owner of extensive tracts between the James River and Midlothian Turnpike west of the Belt Line Railroad and whose residense was the former Patterson manor house with huge hand hewn girders and fastened with wooden pegs, which still stands near the Granite Road. After Mr. Schutte had completed the figure, it was found that a hat had been omitted and Mr. Netherwood declared that no one would recognize him without it. Mr. Schutte thereupon carved alone a hat which was fitted realistically on the head. After Mr. Netherwood`s death in 1899 the figure, having as its pedestal a part of one of the massive granite columns from the old Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, which had been made of Netherwood granite, was erected over his grave in Oakwood Cemetery."</b><br />
<br />
Mr. Netherwood did not believe in wasting material. The foundations of the homes at 308, 312 and 314 North 25th Street were built from scrap tombstones. There is street named for him in the neighborhood south of Forest Hill Ave bounded by Powhite Parkway and Stratford Hills.<br />

<b>Margaret Smith, great-granddaughter of Edward I. Schutte (German Master Stone Cutter) died. Her son Michael K. Smith age 56, fell from a ladder while working on the beloved family home and died on June 15, 2004 as a result of his injuries.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Here are photos of the Patteson-Schutte House that I took along with Jim Mullins & Trip Tender in July 2005 before anything was done to the house or property. The house was covered in aluminum siding. Trip Tender practiced music at the house </b><b>with Michael Smith </b><b>on many occasions. There is a cemetery near the house, but we could not locate it that day.</b><br />

The granite stone industry quietly died with the age of concrete and steel.<br />
The Historic Richmond Foundation bought the house to clean up and sell as residential property with restrictions. The subdivision was built on the surrounding 5 acres of the property.<br />

R.T. Sunday Company 1912-2004<br />
<br />
This post is dedicated to the history of the R.T. Sunday Company. I had started out in the blueprint industry in 1980 and worked with a young man in 1990 who would eventually take over R.T. Sunday Co. I had the privilege of working for the R.T. Sunday Company for 9 years beginning in the mid 1990`s. The new owner told me to think of it as if it were my own company and that is what I did. Coming in there and finding all the treasures, some of which I have posted here, awakened an interest in history. First it was the history of R.T. Sunday, then Richmond Virginia and later onto the Eastern Shore of Virginia and my own roots in Southwest Virginia. I got to work with the former owners before they turned the company over to the young man who bought them out. These fine gentlemen were Wade Curtis and Roy Brill. Mr Brill died of cancer in 1997. Mr. Curtis is still living and I talk to him occasionally.<br />
<br />
The blue in blueprint pretty well died out during the digital revolution in the industry in the early to mid 1990`s. When I came to work at R.T. Sunday, there were 2 worn out 1960`s blueline machines that used anhydrous ammonia to develop the prints. It was a painfully slow process, having to change the speed for each and every drawing run through the machine.<br />

<br />
The company was named for its owner Roy T. Sunday. Mr. Sunday was working for W.A Childrey Draughting and Pattern making Company at 919 1/2 E. Main Street as early as 1908 according to the book <i>Richmond Virginia 1917. </i> I have included an invoice dated August 1, 1910 in <i><b>photo#1</b></i>. By December 1, 1910 the company was called Childrey-Sunday Company Draughtsmen & Blueprinters- see invoice in <i><b>photo#2</b></i>. These precious invoices were given to me by Tom Cook who worked for Drytac, a vendor of R.T. Sunday Company. They are all made out to the American Heating & Ventilation Company and were purchased at the estate sale of the former owner of American Heating & Ventilation Company on Grace Street.<br />

Alice Jellie was the daughter of Nannie Bell Jellie and Alexander Jellie (b. 1845), who were married 4 March 1867 in Raleigh NC. Alice was born in the superintendents house in Glendale Cemetery, 8301 Willis Church Road in Henrico County, Va., approximately 13 miles southeast of Richmond. Her father, a native of Ireland, was superintendent of the cemetery. He died in 1888, when she was about four years old and she went to live with her older sister, Lovie Jellie Whitlock at Curles Neck Farm. Alexander Jellie was a Private in the U.S. Cavalry and is buried at Section G Site 688 in the cemetery. He has a 15 yr. old son buried in Site 690.<br />
Glendale National Cemetery was established May 7, 1866, on land
purchased from a local resident, Lucy C. Nelson. The cemetery name is
taken from the farm located on this property, which served as a Union
headquarters during the Civil War. Original interments were the remains
of Union soldiers recovered from Malvern Hill, Frayer’s Farm, Harrison’s
Landing and other areas in the vicinity.<br />
<br />
Alice Sunday was the book keeper for Mr. Aubrey Childrey and Roy Sunday. She married Mr. Sunday on October 26th, 1911 and I have included a photograph taken on their honeymoon in Niagara Falls. <i><b>Photo #3</b></i><br />

<b><br /></b> Roy Sunday died suddenly of a heart attack on November 14, 1921. Wade Curtis said that it was believed that Mr. Sunday`s heart attack was brought on by an abscessed tooth.<br />
Alice Sunday ran the business until somewhere between 1964-1966. She sold it to the two young men who were working for her, Mr. Roy Brill and Mr. Wade Curtis on the condition that they never change the name of the business. Alice Sunday died February 28, 1971. Both R.T. and Alice L. Sunday are buried in Oakwood Cemetery in the east end of Richmond VA.<br />
<br />
The Virginia AIA Richmond Chapter has an award named for Alice Sunday: <b><i>Alice Lehman Sunday Prize</i></b><br />
Awarded to intern architects with fewer than 10 years’
professional experience for excellence in technical, sketch, and
presentation drawings.<br />
<br />
Mr. Wade Curtis told that Alice Sunday extended credit to the architects in town for long periods. Several of them were still in operation and using R.T. Sunday when I came to work there. She did not use a delivery vehicle, but had the delivery man use the city bus system to make his deliveries.<br />
<br />
Some of the older firms I had the pleasure of serving were <b>Boynton Rothschild Rowland</b>, <b>Carneal and Johnston</b>, <b>Lee King Poole & White</b> and <b>Freeman and Morgan</b>, some having been with R.T. Sunday Co. since the 1920`s.<br />

The company would move one more time. This time to 1915 N. Hamilton Street in 2001. It was a costly move for the company. By late 2003 the owner could not maintain the success of the company and it went out of business in early 2004. R.T. Sunday Company will always be dear to my heart and I miss it very much.<br />
