The Handel Lamp Company developed and perfected the art of reverse painted lamp
shades, well beyond those of other contemporaries for their exceptionally realistic
scenes and vibrant color. Manufactured in Meriden, CT from 1885-1936. This example
decorated with chipped ice texture on a hexagonal ridged shade features fish swimming
amongst aquatic plants against a mottled blue, cream and pink ground. The shade is
fitted on an original unsigned Handel bronzed base cast with a mermaid holding a giant
clamshell on her shoulder which supports the ribbed stem continuing to a three socket
cluster with a fleur-de-lis cap. Handel’s underwater scene lamps such as this have
always been one of the most desirable lamps and this one is truly an outstanding
example with great paint. The base is finished in a rich red-brown patina with subtle
green highlights. This shade diameter is: 15.5”, the lamp stands at 21.5” overall.
Very good to excellent condition

Lobster ova [ovum] were incubated in large glass jars known as Wilmot jars that were constantly replenished with cold salt water.
Lobster was one of the first fisheries to be regulated in the new Dominion of Canada after 1867. As early as 1870, catch size and weights were being monitored and by the late 19th century there was already a concern that lobster stocks were declining in the Northumberland Straight.
In 1891 following a survey undertaken by Samuel Wilmot, Superintendent of Fish Culture, the first lobster hatchery in Canada was established at the Little Entrance of Caribou Harbor, then known as Bayview. The hatchery relied on local canneries and fishers to supply lobster eggs to incubate. With several canneries nearby including the American firm of Burnham & Morrell, the location was central to the thriving fishery.
Lobster hatching and seeding was practiced in Europe by the late 1700’s and Canadian scientists were familiar with the methods established in Norway. A hatchery in Dildo Island, Newfoundland managed by Norwegian Adolf Neilson was the model for the Bayview Hatchery. Lobster ova were incubated in large glass jars known as Wilmot jars that were constantly replenished with cold salt water.
The hatchery was a simple shed lined with rows of shelves holding Wilmot jars fed by an overhead tap lining an upper shelf. The eggs grew into larvae, which, when sufficiently developed, were released into the waters of Northumberland Straight. Several million larvae were seeded into surrounding waters every year from the Bayview hatchery. By 1894, over 12 other hatcheries were established, 8 in Nova Scotia, 2 in New Brunswick and 2 in Quebec. The hatchery operations were very successful for a time but by 1917 there was no substantive evidence that seeding lobster larvae increased lobster stocks and the hatcheries were closed.

Blown goblet with attached foot and stem; cut and engraved decoration with gilt highlighting of a ship and the words "Nelson's Victory"; possibly decorated to commemorate Admiral Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805; trace of gilded monogram, possibly "JEC." The goblet is in excellent condition.
With the defeat of his fleet at Trafalgar in 1805, Napoleon's hope to break the British blockade and to invade England was dashed. For England the victory came dearly, for it cost the life of the nation's greatest captain, Horatio Viscount Nelson. English merchants and manufacturer's immediately upon learning of the great victory, and the loss of the popular navel commander, began producing a variety of commemorative items. This flint goblet is an example of the type of souvenir that was marketed to a grieving, adoring public. It is somewhat unusual in that it puns the name of Nelson's flagship HMS Victory and the positive result of the Battle of Trafalgar for England. Approximately 8-inches high; diameter: 5.5-inches.
This large and deep example with flaring sides has a broad hollow folded rim, high domed bottom, and a large rough pontil. (Height: 4.25 inches: diameter: 10.25 inches.)
A wafer joins each stick, the mold marks do not line up on one stick, hexagonal sticks such as these were produced in Sandwich. Excellent condition. Barlow Kaiser number 4026. (Approximately 9 �-inches high.)
