About the Item
Magnificent 1903 Framed Photograph – Graduating Doctors, Medical Department, Western University of Pennsylvania
This extraordinary and historically significant 1903 graduating class photograph captures the esteemed Medical Department of the Western University of Pennsylvania (now part of the University of Pittsburgh). A true late Victorian era treasure, the piece features dozens of meticulously arranged individual portraits of medical school graduates alongside their distinguished professors.
Each portrait is presented in an elegant oval vignette, forming a symmetrical and beautifully balanced design. The students are visually separated from faculty by a central photograph of coiled rope, creating a unique and artistic composition that reflects the attention to detail of early 20th-century commemorative photography.
The photograph is in very good antique condition, with crisp detail and minimal fading. It remains housed in its original wood frame, which shows expected wear consistent with age, including some surface scuffs, paint loss, and a loose backing — making this an excellent candidate for archival reframing if desired.
A rare and meaningful artifact, this piece would make a thoughtful gift for a physician, historian, or collector of medical or university memorabilia. It would also be a distinguished addition to an office, study, or academic institution, especially one affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh.

Extremely Tactile Rare Original 19th Century Billy Club, Excellent gift!
Located in Red Lion, PA
19th Century Turned Wooden Billy Club, Perfectly Weighted with Rich Dark Patina
A beautifully crafted 19th-century wooden billy club, lathe-turned from a single solid piece of hardwood, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and functional design of the period. Perfectly weighted for balance and control, this antique club was made for durability and ease of handling.
The surface has developed a gorgeous deep brown patina, highlighting the smooth grain and character of the wood. Its gently tapered form and rounded end make it both visually striking and tactilely satisfying, a testament to the skill of its original maker. The piece remains strong and structurally sound, with just the right heft, ideal for display, collection, or personal / theatrical use.
A small section of the rim near the handle has been intentionally flattened, likely to allow the club to rest securely on a flat surface without rolling.
