Massive Framed Paul Jones & Co. Four Roses
Whiskey “After the Hunt” Tin Lithograph by
Arthur W. Woelfle - This massive tin lithographed
sign is a work by Arthur W. Woelfle (1873-1936), whose
signature is in the bottom right corner. The piece
portrays the inside of a hunting cabin after a successful hunt. At the bottom center of the piece
is an open whiskey bottle with detailed labeling for the Paul Jones & Co. “Four Roses” whiskey.
Also on the table near the whiskey are some playing cards, a pipe, some cartridges and shotgun
shells, a pair of boots, and a whitetail buck’s head. A coat and hat hang on the wall along with
a red fox, various upland game birds, and some ducks including a mallard. Leaning against the
wall is a side by side shotgun that may be an L.C. Smith, and a Winchester semi-deluxe Model
1894 rifle is hanging on the wall at the top of the sign. The visible portion of the sign measures
approximately 45 x 30 7/8 inches. It is mounted in the original large picture box frame with
a black outer layer and ornate gold painted molded interior. The frame as a whole measures
approximately 57 1/8 x 43 1/4 inches. These pre-probation era advertising lithographs were
produced in very limited numbers, and are rarely offered on the collector market.
CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, the tin lithograph itself showing vibrant colors and very minimal
fading or handling evidence. The frame is fine with some mild wear, handling/storage evidence,
and a few scattered minor cracks in the molding, along with a small missing portion along the
top and sides. A very attractive piece that would fit perfectly in your gun room,
bar, office or study!
Estimate: 2,750 - 4,250 31
CONDITION: Excellent, retaining 97% plus of the
original blue finish on all components apart from the
buttplate, which retains 95% plus of the original blue
and some very light flaking, with a few scattered
very light handling marks overall. The wood is also
excellent with a few scattered light handling marks.
Mechanically excellent. This is an incredible example
of a Winchester Model 1894 saddle ring carbine that
would be difficult to improve upon!
Estimate: 7,500 - 12,000
