Yankee gun-makers went to plenty of trouble to sell weap ons to Confederate soldiers after the Civil War, even re sorting to trickery to do it. A case in point lies in the history of a derringer a friend bought on a recent visit to Rio de Janeiro. The weapon, which he found in one of the Brazilian capital's curio shops, was a .41 calibre, single-shot piece with a two-and-a-half inch oc tagonal barrel. It had a side swing action for loading the rim-fire cartridge. The trigger was of the sheath type found on many of these tiny pocket guns. The grips were of eb ony with a'small silver inlay. The name of the maker and place of manufacture were missing, , but the stubby bar rel was 'conspicuously stamp ed with the one word "South erner." and that was the rea son why my friend! was hap py to give the1 equivalent of 19 for. it. Me knew that several hun &ed Confederate officers, at the close of the Civl War, en tered the armed forces of the Brazilian Emperor, and he might learn the original own er through the silver mono gram. Meanwhile, he has already learned the probable maker of the piece. The Merrimack Arms and Mfg. Co., of New buryport, Mass., made derrin gers of that size and calibre, most of them were stamped with the maker's name and address and patent dates, but a substantial number were marked with only -the one word "Southerner." The Yankee reasoning was obvious. Salemen would' meet much less sales resistance from the Brazilian Emperor's arms buyers if they could of fer weapons that would not offend the delicate sensibili ties of ex-confederate officers. As to the value of the lit tle gun even if its former ownership can never be trac ed, it is still worth $50 to $75 on the arms collectors' market. Two More Grabbed In Drug Crackdown 4AST U. . COMMEMORATIVE GOLD COIN WORTH $25 Tfee sign on the coin deal er's window was in type so feig it seemed to scream the message "Last Gold Com memorative Coin of the Unit ad States Only $35." The coin was a 1926 quar ter eagle, the $2.50 gold piece minted to commemorate the sesquicentennial of our inde pendence. , The proprietor thrust a magnifying glass into the hand of the other half of the audience and bade him ex amine the art work on the piece. To study with care with which the artist had protrayed Independence Hall, the cradle of American liberty. "Think of it," he said, "the last gold commemorative our country issued before it de cided to dishonor itself by go ing off the gold standard. On ly 46,019 of these precious coins were struck, and you have the golden opportunity of getting one for a mere $35 in inflated paper . money." Only by an act of sheer will did I make myself realize that the proprietor had inflat ed the value of the coin by about $10 more than what some of his less eloquent com petitors were charging. CAT DESIGN ON ORNAMENTAL BUTTONS SCARCE Cows, horses, dogs even elephants' are fairly com mon on the designs of some ornamental buttons that were especially popular during the 1800s, but for some reason or other cats are fairly scarce. Why that should be, I don't know, but as a result, cat but tons seem to have a slight edge on the other types among the growing number of button collectors. In any event, one brass but ton that I saw recently brought the finder a nice prof it. The button was of concave shape, about half-dollar size. On its face were three sabots, typical wooden shoes of the kind worn in northeastern France and the Low Count ries. They were done in pol ished steel. Immediately above each shoe was a tiny kitten, front paws raised as if ready to pounce, and tail erect and fluffed. The kittens, done in excellent detail, were in high relief. i- The button had been found by a person going through an enormous carton of buttons in a rag processing plant. He found four or five others that were worth about 50 cents to $1 each as collector's items. But the brass cat button was the real find. One like it featuring four shoes and kittens is known and has sold for around $20. Another is known with only two wooden shoes and kittens, the value being about the same. Armed with this knowl edge, the finder pointed out to two prospective buyers that there may have been a series of these buttons. Wheth er as a result of that suggest ion or not, the price he got for the button was $32.50. (Released by McClure News paper Syndicate) .
