......I
have some unanswered questions about Dr. James Bowen's
influence that prompted him to make a football bank. He
was from Philadelphia Pennsylvania; did he watch some University
of Pennsylvania football games? Penn was a major team in
American football around the turn of the 19th century.
J&E Stevens was in Cromwell Connecticut which is only
30 miles from New Haven, the home of the Yale Bulldogs,
among the biggest names in football when this bank was
made. Did Bowen get a flash of brilliance to make a
football bank while watching the Bulldogs? I speculate he
probably did go to some college games and would have at
least been influenced if by the wild popularity of the
game........ |

This
Calamity mechanical bank sold for $33,500.00 in Morphy's auction
December 2008. Calamity banks were made of cast iron by the J. & E.
Stevens Company of Cromwell, Connecticut, 1843-1950s. Dr. James H.
Bowen of Philadelphia 1877-1906 was the inventor and
designer of the Calamity. Three spring loaded football players,
a ball carrier flanked by two tacklers, make up the bank's
action. It is activated by first pulling back the tacklers and
cocking them in place. The ball carrier automatically slides on
a track to the rear as this is done. A coin is then placed in a
slot in front of the players. A small bowed lever at the front
right is then pushed, and the ball carrier quickly slides/snaps
about three inches forward while the tacklers swing/snap forward
and surround the ball carrier. Simultaneously the coin drops
down into a chamber. The Calamity is one of 43 cast iron mechanical
banks J&E Stevens produced, and is one of the rarest, with
the most action. It's kind of a bummer if you owned one,
you couldn't really play with it much, as the football players literally
collide and cause paint loss. Which of course devalues
them.
There
were almost
endless themes of mechanical banks produced around the turn  of
the 19th century but there were only two important sports
related banks of mention. The Calamity football, and the
Darktown Battery baseball. Both were designed by Bowen. I
have wanted a calamity for a long time but haven't nailed one
yet. Actually it's sort of a hole in my toy collection. But
they're just so expensive, I can buy a lot of $tuff for what it
would take to buy one.

I speculate he probably did go to some college games and would
have at least been influenced if by the wild popularity of the
game. I do know the ball carrier came in a choice of blue or red
sleeves. Blue would have represented Yale and red Harvard. I
doubt we'll ever know for sure but something had to turn the
gears of inspiration which resulted in this bank.

Aug. 9, 2009
Yesterday
I attended the Vintage Paper Fair San Francisco. The event is held in
the Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. The show opened at 10:00 AM
but I got there about an hour late, around 11:00 AM. It's usually a
pretty good show. Two other major sports collector/dealers were set up
there so naturally I knew they had been going thru it for a while. One
was Bart Johnson. Bart graciously walked me over to Barney Chapman's
booth and asked Barney to show me a football broadside he had that
announced a game between the "Yosemites" of San Francisco
and the "All Vallejos". Barney had a lot more than just the
broadside; but a ton of photos and newspaper clippings all out of two
huge albums. There was about thirty photos, and probably about that
many newspaper clippings all abut the Yosemites all from about
1910-15 . I had never heard of the "Yosemites" of San
Francisco, but the broadside was awesome. At first the Photos and
newspaper clippings didn't mean much to me, but after gathering my
thoughts, I saw them as an important package.
Barney
was asking $800.00 for everything, but the broadside was in four
pieces and needed restoration. I walked around the show a while and
pondered it. It took me by surprise; I wasn't expecting to find
anything like it....but that's why you go to these shows! I couldn't
make up my mind on it. I was tired and hungry. So I decided to go get
some lunch and think thru it. I headed over to Escape
from New York Pizza on Haight St; not far from the show. Escape
from New York Pizza is kind of an institution in the Haight I think. I
did a feature on it years ago you can see here.
Anyway
back to the broadside. I went and ate then went back and offered
$400.00. Barney reminded me of the photos, and I upped it to
$500.00. He called the owner of the broadside and he took my offer. I
haven't started researching it yet. As broadsides go, it's a classic.
The green printing really makes it. But boy is it fragile. I have to
get it restored and mounted on a linen backing and get it
framed.

photos
That
was my first pick at the show. Once I had that settled, I bought an
exceptional piece of sheet music. It was from 1838 and titled "Our
Boat Sets Lightly On The Wave". It was dedicated to the New York
Boat Clubs and had an illustration of an eight man crew team on the
cover. I haven't researched it yet but I believe it to be one of the
earliest American illustrations of competitive rowing, not to mention
one of the earliest American sports illustrations period. Moreover, it
was printed by Nathan Currier, who went on to be thee Currier of Currier
and Ives, the famous printing concern of the late 19th century.

EMAIL
CORRESPONDENCE WITH ROWING HISTORIAN/COLLECTOR EXTRAORDINAIRE,
TOM WEIL |
|
Tom,,
How are you? I got an interesting sheet music... scroll down on my home page to
"Carlton's Latest acquisitions"...have you seen this before? thanks -Carlton |
|
Carlton:
Thanks for getting in touch again.
Your sheet music piece is one of the older ones for rowing memorabilia and, as you suggest, it is also one of the earliest images of amateur rowing in the U.S. (actually, it's pretty early for anywhere).
I've got that piece in my collection - here's my list of the rowing sheet music in my collection through 1852, ending, appropriately, with Row, Row, Row Your Boat (there's a lot more after that, too, but this is the earlier stuff). The earliest rowing sheet music of which I am aware is a piece in the Falk/Stearns Collection at the National Rowing Foundation, which is “My Bark is My Courser”, dedicated to the New York Boat Club, and published by John B. Pendleton in New York in 1831. It has a lith of an unmanned gig on the cover.
You can see a bunch of these at the rowing history exhibition at the Rowing Hall of Fame at Mystic Seaport - come on up and I'll give you a tour.
I would like to continue this conversation.
Best, Tom
