Palmetto Rifles Common
But Have Growing Value
The different kind of long
arms generally, weapons fired
from the shoulder made during
the 19th Century is nearly in
finite. Certainly no one t collec
tor knows them all not even
all those that were manufac
tured in the United States.
Some of them are extremely
valuable, worth into the thous
ands of dollars each. Others are
almost worthless. In between
the two extremes lies a series of
types that have a fairly low but
definitely growing value.
A good example of these is to
be found among those weapons
produced by the Palmetto Arm
ory of South Carolina.
Classed as Confederate wea
pons, the Palmetto Armory
products are still fairly common
despite their improving position
in the eyes of collectors.
SILVER TAX REVENUE STAMP
The paper given me was a me
morandum of transfer of 10,000
ounces of silver for $5,500, to
gether with a statement of the
amount of profit made by the
transfer in this case an even
$1,000.
The date of the transaction
was in August, 1935. Affixed to
the memorandum was a blue
revenue stamp, a long narrow
one of the kind known as a doc
umentary of 1917.
On the upper part of it, above
the portrait of Alexander Hamil
ton, were the words "United
States Internal Revenue' Below
was the word "Documentary."
The denomination was given
both top and botton. Overprint
ed across the face of the stamp,
WHITMAN TEMPERANCE NOVEL EARNS GOOD PRICE
Frank asked "Did you ever
hear that Walt Whitman wrote
a temperance novel? That he
was a tract writer?"
I said that I hadn't.
"I've just bought a book by
Walter Whitman, and I'm sure
it must be the poet. And if it's
a first edition, then it very def
initely ought to have consider
able value."
As Frank continued to talk
and I began to get used to the
idea of Whitman as a tract
writer, a crusader shoulder-to-shoulder
with Carrie Nation
against the Demon Rum, I could
feel a powerful surge of curi
osity. "The title's 'Franklin Evans;
or The Inebriate'," Frank said.
I checked and found that the
O'Brien Receives New
Fire Truck Thursday
Cave Junction O'Brien's new
fire truck, a 500-gallon per min
ute pumper, arrived in the Illi
nois valley Thursday, and was
given its regulation three-hour
demonstration test that after
noon and Friday morning.
The truck is being purchased
for S7,200 from Roney, Inc., of
Portland, makers of fire equip

under consideration for the
Selma area.

PER
An example of this was pro
vided recently by the swiftness
with which an acquaintance of
mine spotted and bought a Pal
metto Armory musket. He paid
the second hand store clerk $30
for it.
The musket was a rifled, per
cussion weapon of .58 calibre,
just a couple of inches under
five feet in over-all length.
On the lockplate was a pal
metto tree symbol stamped into
the metal. Around it in a circle
was the legend "Palmetto Arm
ory, S.C." There were other
marks elsewhere m the weapon,
but that wap the principle one.
Why my friend bought the
piece with such lttle hesitation
was that he knew the general
price level for Palmetto Arm
ory long arms, regardless of
calibre, ranged from $75 to $140.
WORTH 140 PAPER DOLLARS
one above the other, were the
words SILVER TAX.
The man who had brought the
memorandum in for appraisal
said that he had found it stuck
on the underside of a drawer in
a secondhand desk he had pur
chased the year before from an
office furniture supply house.
The firm which had made the
transaction was one that had
gone out of business in the lat
ter 1940s, not too long after
World War II.
The Scott's Catalogue Speci
alized showed it to have a value
in its used form of $175.
With that to go on, it took
only a short time to locate a
collector who was particularly
anxious to get such a stamp.
The amount finally realized was
$140.
poet had written such a work.
Whether or not it was the origi
nal temperance novel, I can't
say.
The work was first published
in pamphlet form, without cov
ers and giving the author's name
as Walter Whitman. It appeared
as a supplement to "The New
World," for November 1842. The
last page carries an advertise
ment for other works then in
production.
The copy Frank had picked
up for $20 was the first, the one
without covers. Another edition,
published that year, appeared in
reddish brown wrappers.
The price Frank finally got
for his copy was $275.

contractor does not carry proper
liability insurance, the chamber
added.

Shoes Save Man
In Seattle Tree
Dressed As Bear
Seattle IW A deputy sher
iff went out to kill a "bear"
which had climbed a tree in the
Bothell District of Seattle Sat
urday but put his gun away
when he noticed the "animal"
was wearing shoes.
Those shoes, actually boots and
spurs, saved the life of Vern
Strum, who had donned a bear
hide and climbed a 108-foot fir
tree to publicize a benefit va
riety show.
Deputy Sheriff Emery Kirk
patrick was sent out to investi
gate and "kill the bear if neces
sary" when a resident called and
reported seeing the "animal" in
the tree.
"I had him dead in my sights
when I noticed the shoes," Kirk
patrick said. "Believe me, he was
very much in danger of being
shot."
Kirkpatrick said he also had
to shoo a party of hunters away
from the tree. Hunting season
opens in. Washington today and
the hunters, apparently enroute
to the mountains, had stopped
in a cafe across the street for
coffee.
When they spotted the "bear"
and the deputy, they grabbed
their rifles and ran to aid in the
kill.
"I had to tell them to lay off,"
Kirkpatrick said. "I didn't know
for sure what was up that tree,
but you can't shoot a bear with
shoes on."
Strum spent four hours in the
tree before he finally came
down.
