Antique salesman samples and Studebaker wagon memorabilia featured at Chupp April 12-13

Monitor Mfg. Co. windmill sample with original case, estimated at $100-$200 at Chupp.

SHIPSHEWANA, Ind. — A trove of highly coveted salesman samples and a collection of vintage Studebaker wagon memorabilia are featured items at Chupp Auctions as part of its two-day Antique Auction Sale on Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13. The catalogs are now available for review and bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Salesman samples were highly accurate and often fully functional miniatures of products too large to transport to a client’s location. The salesman could convincingly demonstrate a product’s functionality and build quality using the scale model, making them a highly effective sales tool. Today they are prized for their rarity and ingenuity.

Chupp’s consignor clearly had an affection for agrarian salesman samples. Located in Auburn, Indiana, this Monitor Mfg. Co. windmill with original transportation case is all original and looks virtually new. It is estimated at only $100-$200, but at the time of writing has reached $5,500 in bids.

Lima Mfg. Co. of Lima, Indiana, created this 19in-tall windmill sample for its salesmen on the road. Described as near mint, it has already been bid to $600 against a $100-$200 estimate and will certainly go higher.

This Adriance Platt & Co. (Poughkeepsie, New York) horse-drawn sickle sample comes with its original case that has a metal plate identifying it as model no. 213. Fully detailed and functional, bidding has already reached $2,000.

The Studebaker collection is equally impressive. Studebaker is best remembered for its automobiles and trucks, particularly the later Raymond Loewy-styled line of the 1950s and early 1960s with vehicles such as the Avanti, the Golden Hawk, and the Lark. But the South Bend, Indiana-based manufacturer dates to the late 1800s, when it was a pioneer in mass-manufacturing wagons for commercial, industrial, and agricultural use.

The review begins with a full-size Studebaker wooden box wagon made for J. W. Skinner of Goshen, Indiana. It was discovered buried under old hay in a barn, which served to protect it from dry rot and vermin damage. Outfitted with a Studebaker seat, the wagon has already reached $1,000 in bids.

Goats can pull wagons, and Studebaker made a model just for this purpose. All original, with only one spoke missing on one wheel, this Studebaker Junior goat wagon comes complete with seat, shafts, and a pull handle. It currently rests at $550 in bids.

Final highlights include three examples of Studebaker wagon advertising signs. The Sun Always Shines On the Studebaker is a framed lithograph, currently at $700. The Studebaker Is Sold Here is a circular 14in diameter tin-lithographed two-sided sign with one rough presentation side. It has made it to $400 in bids so far. And the 20th Century Studebaker Wagons sign is made from embossed lithographed tin, and currently bid to $800.

THOMASTON, Maine – ‘Correct in detail, material and quality of construction, down to brass hardware, stencilled cloth and monogrammed leather trim’, a miniature Louis Vuitton trunk hammered for $7,500 and sold for $9,375 at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries. Only a handful of these diminutive luggage pieces are known, made at the time either as salesman samples or as playthings for the children of wealthy Louis Vuitton customers. Following every detail of the full-size version, this suitcase measuring 11in (27cm) across was in good condition, save the interior, which had been relined in a marbled paper. Beneath it may be a label for Louis Vuitton’s offices at 149 New Bond Street and the Paris Champs Elysees. The miniature trunk sold well above its estimate of $800-$1,000, topping the first day of the February 23-25 Winter Enchantment auction.

Sharing its estimate and winning second place on Day One was a Meiji-period bronze model of a lobster. Described in the lot notes as ‘hyper realistic, fully jointed and moveable’, it was one of the remarkable models produced by Japanese metalworkers in the post-Samurai era. Despite lacking one of its antennae, it hammered for $6,000 ($7,500 with buyer’s premium).

Day Two was dominated by two portraits of George Washington by or after Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828). Estimated at $3,000-$5,000 but sold at $27,000 ($33,750 with buyer’s premium) was a circa-1805 version of the classic George Washington bust portrait – the so-called Athenaeum type, painted from life in Philadelphia in 1796. Stuart referred to these portraits as his “$100 bills” as, whenever he needed the money, he would retire to his Boston studio and paint another. He sold more than 70 of them in his lifetime, and there are many others that were painted by followers after he died. This unsigned portrait in its original frame was attributed to Stuart.

Stuart created the original full-length portrait of George Washington at Dorchester Heights for the City of Boston in 1806. It shows the general in his battle pomp posing next to the backside of a horse. The original hangs in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts with versions in Faneuil Hall in Boston and Mechanic’s Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts, but the version offered at Thomaston Place was one of many impressive if somewhat pedestrian copies. A stencil on the verso for Goupil & Co., New York dates it to the 1850s. Housed in a heavy gold molded cove frame standing 6ft high, it hammered for $26,000 ($32,500 with buyer’s premium) against an estimate of $5,000-$7,000.
