Hardwood Printing Block of irregular shape with scenes near Norwood, depicted in muted colors. Roughly divided into quarters: two scenes appear to be mountainscapes, one sideways, another appears to be a painting on canvas of a river, and the remaining 1 appears to have been crossed out. Written in pencil on back is "Lloyd Mifflin c. 1865".
Copper sculpting/modeling tool hand fashioned to create a flattened, spoon-like handle leading to a rounded shank ending in another flattened end bent at the tip to create a short 1/2" extension bent to nearly a right angle for working in clay or plaster. End is squared off. Crude but effective tool for sculpting bears marks of hammering, especially underside of flattened handle. Used by Lloyd Mifflin. Tool presumed to have been fashioned by Lloyd Mifflin himself from a length of copper. Provenance: Mifflin to the Minnich sisters to the groundskeeper at Norwood to donors.
Carte de visite. Unidentified Civil War soldier. Written on back: "From others in this series I would say this Jameson photographed before and during the Civil War. George A. Hyers occupied same studio after Jameson, but before 1870. Hyers was followed by W. F. Stein in same location. I have 2 photos printed on back 'Photographed by Geo. A. Hyers, front St. above Locust, Columbia, Pa.' They show the same curtain and decorations as this one, but are the later half of 1860s decade."
