In an effort to satisfy the intellectual need of remote light keepers and their families, the Light-House Establishment in 1876 first introduced portable libraries and furnished to all light vessels and inaccessible offshore light stations a selection of reading materials. Later the U. S. Life Saving Service also began to furnish identical library boxes to all of their stations as well. These libraries were contained in a portable wooden case, each with a printed listing of the contents posted inside the door. Such library boxes measures about 2 feet high, 2 feet wide, and 8 inches deep. They were made of shellacked white pine strengthened with heavy brass trimmings. Inside were two shelves of different heights. The doors were secured with a bolt on one, and with a mortised lock on the other. On the sides were hinged handles. The cases were constructed so as to make a neat appearance when on a table yet be sturdy for transport. By the end of the century there would be over 700 library boxes in service at lighthouses, and scores more with the life-saving stations. We have been most fortunate to find a local craftsman who has duplicated these original library boxes in every detail. After acquiring an original, he carefully dismantled it and recorded every measurement and construction detail. Each beautiful reproduction is hand made of heavy pine with dovetail joints, cast brass hinges and handles, back bands, door lock and hand lettered "U.S.L.H. Est. Library No. [your choice]", or "U. S. Life Saving Service Library No. [your choice]" , as were the originals These boxes will deserve an honored place in your den or library, and would be the perfect place to store your original library books as you find them. For museums these make a perfect companion for your Lighthouse Service or Life Saving Service display.
Library boxes are in stock and are shipped directly from us via UPS insured. Cost of complete library $1295 plus shipping. The craftsmanship on these beautiful pieces is superb making them museum quality pieces. An original library box would sell in the $4-5000 range, making this an ideal alternative.
NEW! We also have complete lettered ready to stain and assemble kits for $1145, or hardware only sets to make your own kit for $875. Please inquire.

Lighthouse Service Tender Insignia and Railing Finial.
Half figured, brass insignia, similar in look somewhat to Minot’s Ledge Light, were used by the U. S. Lighthouse Service on the bow of lighthouse tenders and a smaller version was used on the Captain’s stateroom door. Also, a similar full figured insignia was used on lighthouse lantern railings atop each post as a finial. As was common to the Service, Lighthouse Service Superintendents could also be seen to used these insignia to decorate their office. Photos exist of Superintendent Putnam with such insignia on his shelf and desk, much like 18th LH District Superintendent Harry W. Rhodes who had one on his bookshelf as well [see Ralph Shanks’ book Guardians of the Golden Gate page 59.] These insignia were once sand cast of heavy brass at the Staten Island Lighthouse Depot in New York. We have been most fortunate to find an old foundry who had the original U. S. Lighthouse Service patterns used for these insignia and who has agreed to once again cast these for us as needed. Patterns used are the actual US Lighthouse Service wooden patterns, in use since early in the last century, which produce a beautiful, heavy solid brass insignia identical to the original. On the obverse are still the identification letters "USLHS". These insignia make wonderful decorations or presentation pieces to lighthouse enthusiasts, or original mounting studs remain on the back which could be drilled and tapped to allow mounting on or beside your front door to identify your home or business. Insignia are fine grained brass and remain as they came from the foundry. These items have not yet been polished but are most presentable as is. If you have a polishing wheel with polishing rouge, with a few hours of additional effort you can bring these up to a smooth, bright finish, or for an additional fee we can have these professionally polished for you before delivery. These would make a wonderful addition to your home or office, or as a gift to your favorite Keeper. 20416. Lighthouse Tender Captain’s Stateroom Insignia.

Pemaquid Point by Anita Price Water color, matted, please inquire. A resident of Mystic, CT, Anita has enjoyed doing artwork since she was very young. As a child, Anita's family vacationed in Colorado where she and a family friend, John Kirsch, would hike in the mountains in search of locations to sketch and paint. Kirsch had a successful gallery in Estes Park, Colorado. For many years all of Anita's paintings were of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. She also spent much of her spare time doing arts and crafts and taking courses at the Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she spent her childhood. Anita holds a fine arts degree from the University of Wisconsin. As an adult she has painted in oil and acrylic but now works exclusively in watercolor and obtains her inspiration from New England's beautiful homes and gardens as well as its unique shoreline. Anita's paintings have been described as: "paintings that make me feel happy" . . . "I feel very peaceful when I look at them" . . . "the way life ought to be" . . . "wonderfully soothing colors" . . . "they make me want to go there". Part of Anita's art business includes commissions of house portraits. Often the recipients of her portraits try to duplicate the landscaping created by a combination of Anita's imagination and paintbrush.
