American Indian ArtThe Luther R. &

Frances T. Zehner

CollectionLots 1-86


4 www.freemansauction.com

Dr. Luther R. Zehner was born in 1923, and he fell in love with

Native American lore when he was a young man growing up

in Reading, PA. Wild West stories like the Lone Ranger and

books by authors like Will James and Frank Linderman

sparked his imagination. He was inspired by tales of

adventurers and explorers who left the cities of the East and

learned the ways and language of Native Americans, and

that inspiration changed the course of his life.

Dr. Zehner graduated from Juniata College and earned his

medical degree from Hahnemann Medical College of

Philadelphia. Upon completing his residency in Surgery at

Harrisburg Hospital, Dr. Zehner married his college

sweetheart, Frances Townsend, in August of 1949. Together,

they headed for Standing Rock Reservation near Fort Yates,

ND, where Dr. Zehner had received a staff appointment as a

physician in the reservation hospital, and Mrs. Zehner had

been hired to teach in the reservation school.

Dr. and Mrs. Zehner fully embraced the culture of the Lakota

(Sioux) with whom they worked. Dr. Zehner learned to

speak the Sioux language, and forged deep friendships with

tribal elders Alex Sage, Patrick Rattling Hail and Judge

Francis B. Zahn. It was at Standing Rock that Dr. and Mrs.

Zehner also met and became close personal friends with

photographer Frank Bennett Fiske and he and his wife,

Angela.

Dr. Zehner sought out the oldest members of the tribe, and

recorded their oral histories, encouraging them to recount

legends and stories and to talk about life before the

reservation. He recorded their songs and drumming on audio

tape and with a film camera, and interviewed the survivors of

the Battle of Little Big Horn, who were by then in their 90s.

One of the most thrilling moments of his life was going out

to the Custer battlefield with an elderly Native American

battle survivor who gave him a first-hand

account of what it was like on that day

long ago.

Members of the tribe noted the passion

and respect Dr. and Mrs. Zehner had for

their culture. Dr. Zehner was also deeply

aware that the legacy of the elders seemed

to be slipping away in the busy post-war

period. He began to purchase artifacts,

documenting the history of the pieces in

his journals and with his camera. He was

particularly interested in pieces from the

late 1800s and the early part of the

Twentieth Century, and in items made

according to the old ways by

contemporary craftspeople.

In July of 1950, Luther and Frances ZehnerAlex Sage

L.R. Zehner with Bob Tail Tiger’s family.

were adopted into the Sioux tribe in a formal ceremony. Frank

Fiske took photos of them dressed in full authentic ceremonial

clothing. Custer battle survivor Spotted Bear “gave” Dr. Zehner

his tribal name so that Luther became “Spotted Bear.”

Frances Zehner’s new name translated as “Morning Star.”

Dr. and Mrs. Zehner were later transferred to serve at Fort

Defiance (AZ) before returning to Pennsylvania. Dr. Zehner

set up medical practice in Meadville, PA in 1956 and

practiced as a surgeon and general practitioner until his

retirement in 1997. Mrs. Zehner taught for many years in the

Meadville public schools and was very active with the

American Association of University Women.

Frances Townsend Zehner passed away in 2009 at age 89,

and Luther R. Zehner died at age 90 in 2013. He passed

away just three weeks after a Native American delegation

came to the nursing home where he resided to honor his

birthday with drumming and dancing. The Zehner Collection

has been out of sight for over sixty years, stored in their

home. This collection includes beadwork, ceremonial

costumes, pottery, bows and arrows and tools that the

Zehners collected during their time in the West.

The headquarters,roundhouse, carshops and machine shopswere inside the stockade at Alexandria, VAand under the charge of Colonel D.C.MacCallum. I was assistant M.C.B. at thattime, was in the shops constantly while thecar was being built....It was really magnificentand every available convenience wasused....When the car made its first realjourney, that from Washington to Springfieldbearing the dead body of the President to itsfinal resting place, it was elaborately draped inblack cloth with silver bullion fringe, silverspangled stars and large silver tassels aboutnine inches long and three in diameter. Therewere also many black tassels used about thebiers on which rested the two coffins (thepresident’s and that of his son Tad). Thesefuneral trappings were removed on the returnof the car to Alexandria and divided up asrelics. I got one of the large silver tassels andsome of each of the other decorations and putthem in a case made of the same materials asthe car...It is to be hoped the plan forpreserving the car may be carried out for it isa genuine relic of war time even if it did not goto the front and it seems to me the resoluteself-denial of the President in not using itduring his lifetime, and his one journey in it,when his wearied body was past the need forearthly luxury are stiking incidents in evensuch a notable career as that of Lincoln.”$10,000-15,000

The Coasting BankLot 285


Quarterly, Volume X, No. 4, Winter1884 (see previous page and insideback cover). According to Griffith,“this bank is not known to be in anycollection and the catalog offers usour first information about it.” Although there is no patentinformation available for theCoasting Bank, certain strikinglyconspicuous features warrant anattribution to the illustrious bankdesigner Charles A. Bailey. Baileyworked for J. & E. Stevens Companyfrom the 1880s to about 1915 whenhe established himself as anindependent designer andmanufacturer. He is responsible formany great mechanical banks,including the rare Bismark Pig Bankand the Germania Exchange Bank,both featured alongside theCoasting Bank in theaforementioned advertisement.Bailey had a known penchant forutilizing lead or white metal; theCoasting Bank’s cast lead figure,therefore, serves to reaffirm theattribution. Given their similarities ingeneral action and overall design—especially with regards to the castfloral scroll work present on bothtriangular coin receptacles—, thisbank might have served as thepredecessor to the “Shoot theChute” mechanical bank designedby Charles A. Bailey for J. & E.Stevens Co. in 1906.$30,000-50,000

L: 9 1/2 in. W: 2 1/2 in.provenance:Found in Peebles, Scotland.Descended in the family to thepresent owner.note:The “Black Tulip” of mechanical banks,the Coasting Bank had heretoforeexisted only in an 1884 illustratedcatalogue. To the extent of ourknowledge, this is the only knownexample of the Coasting Bank andconsequently, is the first of its kind tobe offered at auction.

630 122226/11 piece.Holograph Manuscript. [Hopkinson, Francis, strongly attributedto.] [Allegorical Poem] “Astronomy.” [Ca 1785-1790.] 4 leaves (inclms title leaf), quire of watermarked (likely French) paper with periodstaples; some creasing along gutters & edges, the bottom 2/3 of the3rd leaf has been excised with no loss to the ms verse. Also titled“Astronomy” at head of 2nd leaf recto above beginning of the poem,constituting 118 lines in heroic couplets + 2 lines that have beencrossed out & several corrections. A few small areas of paper loss -just touching a few words of the ms. The conceit of this allegorical and sometimes satirical unpublishedpoem compares the break of the colonies from England to acosmological theory advanced by the Comte de Buffon that theplanets of our solar system were formed when a comet collidedwith the sun. The poet extends this conceit to George Washington,

referring to him as “our sun,” and to the “federalist race” as sprungfrom him.A close analysis of the hand responsible for the above manuscriptreveals telling similarities to the slant & formation of letterscharacteristic of known examples of Francis Hopkinson’s hand,although, as a literary manuscript, executed in a somewhat morestudied hand than his correspondence. No obvious signs of forgerycan be detected here.See America’s Memory of the Thomas Jefferson Papers, Series 1, FrancisHopkinson to Thomas Jefferson, Jan 4, 1784 for a record ofdiscussions between Hopkinson & Jefferson on Buffon’s theories.Buffon’s subsequent unfavorable view of American flora & faunaalienated Jefferson, whose anger may have led Hopkinson toabandon publication of this poem.$3,000-5,000
