Chamberlain (1828 - 1914), his wife, Fanny and their two children lived in one of Brunswick's most unusual structures.   Seven rooms have been restored to document each period of Chamberlain's long and varied career:   as Civil War hero at Little Round Top in the Battle of Gettysburg, as Governor of Maine, and as both professor and president of Bowdoin College.
$24.95 each 

  Chamberlain Ornament by Kunstler

Cup and Ball Toy
   Toys of the cup & ball family had already been favorite childhood amusements for many centuries by the time of settlements in the North American colonies, and they have remained popular throughout American history. In simple cup & ball toys, the ball is tossed and caught in a cup on the end of a stick.
$7.59 each

 

Jacobs Ladder
   The mysterious movement of this puzzling toy has fascinated generations of American children. Described in Scientific American (1889) as a “simple toy – very illusive in action”, the Jacobs Ladder still confounds us with its seemingly inexplicable motion.
    It is constructed of 6 solid wood segments attached with colorful grosgrain ribbon, and is packaged in a poly bag with a history and instruction insert.
$10.25 each

 

Signal Whistle
   The American Army first organized companies of Light Infantry in 1775. These highly mobile units were initially made up of riflemen known for their speed and marksmanship whose primary role was as skirmishers. Small shrill whistles made of wood, antler, or other common materials played a role in signaling commands to these Light Infantry companies, who could not rely on the beating of the company drum to relay field communications.
    The stained wooden whistle is patterned on a period example. It is 4 1/4” long with a short rawhide lanyard, packaged in a poly bag with an insert giving its history and some common marksman’s signals.
$6.75 each

Bosun's Whistle
   The Boatswain's Pipe (pronounced "bosun's") is one of the oldest and most distinctive pieces of nautical equipment. The boatswain's pipe, whistle, or flute, was used in Greece and Rome to keep the stroke of galley slaves. During the Crusades it was utilized to call English cross bowmen to the deck for attack. Because its shrill tune could be heard above most of the activity on board, it later was used to signal various happenings such as knock-off and the boarding of officials. This signaling device was so essential to the well-being of the ship that it became a badge of office and honor in the British and American Navy.
   This beautifully detailed solid brass and copper Navy Boatswain's Pipe comes with a quality 39 inch solid brass chain lanyard. The pipe has a traditional anchor design inlaid in copper on both sides. The boatswain's pipe measures 5 inches long, and the pipe and chain weigh 1.6 ounces. The boatswain's pipe comes with a beautiful solid hardwood storage and display case. A solid brass Navy anchor design is inlaid into the lid of the case.
$14.95 each

Compass
   This highly polished solid brass compass with a hinged lid is excellent for camping and outdoor use, and makes a perfect compass for a Cub Scout or a Boy Scout. The compass is the size of a standard pocket watch, measuring slightly over 1 3/4 inches in diameter, 5/8 inch thick, and weighs 1.68 ounces. The case is stamped from thick solid brass. The compass needle is accurate, quick and responsive.
$7.95 each

 

Civil War Cannon
   12-Pounder Light Gun Civil War Cannon (“the Napoleon”) Prior to the 1850's field artillery batteries were equipped with a mixture of smoothbore field guns and howitzers. In 1853 the French Army introduced a 12-pounder field gun, named after Napoleon III, which revolutionized field artillery. The Napoleon was light enough to be moved rapidly on the battlefield by horses, heavy enough to destroy field fortifications almost a mile away, and versatile enough to fire solid shot, shell, spherical case, and canister. This is an entirely metal miniaturization of the Napoleon Cannon, measuring 4.5 inches long and 2 inches wide. All parts of the model move—the barrel can be moved up and down and the wheels roll. This is perfect for the history buff who builds replicas of battle scenes or for any person interested in historical artillery.
$6.95 each

  Rifle Pen
   This 8” tall ball-point pen with black ink is shaped like a rifle—a perfect item for those who truly believe that the pen is mightier than the sword.
$5.50 each

Restrike of the Confederate Cent
   This 1861 Confederate penny is a little larger than a nickel and almost the size a quarter from the original Confederate dies made by Robert Lovett, Philadelphia, Penn., for the Confederate States of America.
   Mr. Lovett said he received the order to make these cents for the Confederacy from a well known jewelry firm in Philadelphia. He became afraid that the United States government might arrest him for giving assistance to the enemy so he buried them in his cellar until after the war was over.
    Upon attempting to strike more of these cents, the die broke on the fifty-ninth piece. These dies are now in the Smithsonian.
$1.99 each
