Top 20 Artefacts Survey Results for Week Ending August 21st 2010

These roller skates (1983.7.3) have firm leather boots with steel soles and wheels.

Our Top 20 survey has completed its fourth week and our list of artefacts continues to grow!  Patrons placed votes for over 20 artefacts this week of which only 9 were in our Top 20 from previous weeks.  The list was shaken up a little bit but only for the artefacts that are below #6 on the list.  With only a week and a half left to place votes, it will be very interesting to see what happens! 

Click here for last week’s Top 20 Results!

Stereoscopes were used to view cards taken with a stereo camera. The cards were placed in the slots and pulled towards the viewer. As the image came into focus it would appear three dimensional. This type of viewer was popular during the Victorian era.

The objects in the first 6 spots have not changed a lot.  The Coleman Frog, Harvey Studio camera and the Penny Farthing Bicycle continued to dominate the votes and the Horse Tricycle continued to hold a spot in the top 5.  The World War I Machine Gun was bumped down to #6 the 1914 Cash Register reclaimed the #5 spot that it held a few weeks ago!  

In 1858, George Wolhaupter married Harriett Carman. Their son, Benjamin, was born in 1859. When George died in 1860, his wife and son moved to Ontario. Benjamin possessed great mechanical ability, and ultimately became an engineer who specialized in railroad tracks. He took out 215 patents for inventions, and was a successful manufacturer and businessman. Benjamin built this steam engine.

There doesn’t appear to be any new objects in the Top 20 but I think that it’s interesting that four of the Top 20 artefacts are from World War I.  If you look at the overall votes since we started this survey, another 5 World War I objects received votes including the Trench Armour (#39) that we posted infromation about last week.  The First World War was such a horrifying yet interesting time in history.  People find the artefacts in our Trench exhibit fascinating and often have a difficult time narrowing a vote down to just one object.  

The Ackerman Tavern Beam is an unusual artefact that is steeped in history! Unfortunately, it has only 1 vote so far and will not make it to the Top 20!

Some of the objects receiving votes for the first time this week are the Lady’s Roller Skates, the Wolhaupter Steam Engine, the Ackerman Tavern Beam and the Stereoscope.  

The Ackerman Tavern Beam (1969.2204.1) inspired Fredericton Arts Alliance artist in residence, Katherine Moller, to write a song about it during her residency.  This beam had been in the Ackerman Tavern at the corner of the St. John and Queen Street, until it was demolished in 1961 to make way for the current Playhouse.  The tavern had been the first meeting place of the New Brunswick Legislature.  We posted a blog about the Ackerman Tavern Beam last Summer!

Grenade fire extinguishers (1987-25-2) were thrown at small fires, the chemicals inside smother the fire. These were commonly found in hotels with carpet flooring.

The Wolhaupter Steam Engine was made by Benjamin Wolhaupter (1800-1857) nephew.  Benjamin’s portrait hangs in the same gallery where you’ll find the steam engine.  Benjamin was a silversmith, clockmaker, High Sheriff of York County, President of Central Fire Insurance co., Director of the Bank of New Brunswick, a Commissioner for Government House (1840-2) and other public buildings in Fredericton (1843-8) and Captain and Quartermaster of the York Sunbury Regiment of Militia during the 1839 border dispute.  A devout Anglican, and a close friend of the Lord Bishop of Fredericton, the Rt. Rev. John Medley.  Medley purchased Benjamin’s home at 97 Church Street, Fredericton, upon his death in 1857.  

I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with the list over the last week and a half of votes!  If you have a favourite artefact that is not on the list or not as high on the list that you think it should be, then visit the York Sunbury Museum and place a vote!!  

 The top 20 list after four weeks:

1.  Coleman Frog

2.  Harvey Studio Camera

3.  Penny Farthing Bicycle

4.  Horse Tricycle

5.  Our 1914 Cash Register

Top 20 Artefact Survey Update!

The Horse Tricycle (1969-2125-1) was imported from New York during the mid-ninetheenth century.

Our Top 20 survey has completed its second week and we have an even longer list of favourite artefacts!  Patrons have selected just over 50 artefacts over the last two weeks and we have tallied the votes and have added them to the Top 20. Click here for last week’s Top 20 Results!

The St. Dunstan's Steeple Cross (1969.472.1) was removed from the church in Fredericton when it was torn down in 1967. The original Church was built in 1842.

The artefact receiving the most votes last week was similar to the first week.  The top artefact continues to be the Coleman Frog.  Not only did he have the most votes for week ending August 7^th but he also has the most overall votes.  The Harvey Studio camera gave the Coleman Frog a little bit of competition though … for a while I thought the camera was going to top the list for the week!  However, by the end of the week the Harvey Studio camera placed second replacing the penny farthing bicycle which is placed 5^th for last week and is now third on the overall list.

This World War I Field message book was used by Lieutenant A. C. Kelly when he was in the trenches. A bullet had pierced this message book and probably saved his life.

Our third most popular artefact last week was the horse tricycle!  This tricycle is absolutely amazing!  It placed 7^th last week and is now 6^th on the list when we combine the votes for the last two weeks.  The tricycle was imported from New York in the mid-nineteenth century and is a complex design.  The frame has iron pedals that move the horse and the mane is genuine horse hair.  The seat is made of leather.  It is definitely a favourite amongst the York Sunbury Museum staff!!

Again, I won’t describe every artefact on the list but here is what we have so far for the two weeks combined:

1.  Coleman Frog

2.  Harvey Studio Camera

3.  Penny farthing Bicycle

4.  World War I Machine Gun

5.  Our 1914 Cash Register

6.  Horse Tricycle

7.  Fire Extinguisher Grenades

8.  St. Dunstan’s Church Steeple Cross

9.  Native Picnic Basket

10.  Maliseet Paddle

11.  Portrait of Sarah Peters

12.  Elevator Shoes

13.  Colt Revolver

14.  African Porcupine Quill Box

15.  Native Fish Trap

16.  Valcartier Camp Panoramic Photograph

17.  Ashburnham Wedding Shoes

18.  WWI Messenger Book

19.  St. Dunstan’s Church Stained Glass Window

20.  Ralph Sketch Bronze Statue

Some of the Other Artefacts that Recieved Votes Last Week

World War I Shrapnel Shell (1969.1050.1)

The Odell’s use to own this garden statue (1969.2574.1), dating from the 1860s. The Odell’s were a prominent Loyalist family and the site of their house and estate now serves as Fredericton’s Odell Park.

Fashionable from 1908 to about 1933, the cloche hat (1973.1.11 ) was one the iconic hat of the 1920's. To wear the hat correctly it had to be all but pulled over the eyes, making the wearer have to lift up the head.

Have you placed your vote?  If not, we will be taking votes until the end of August so visit the York Sunbury Museum soon!! 

Our First Top 20 Artefacts!

According to our survey, the Penny Farthing Bicycle (1969.2103.1a-c) is our 2nd most popular artefact so far!

Our Top 20 survey has completed its first week and we have a long list of favourite artefacts!  Patrons have selected just over 40 artefacts and we have tallied the votes and have created the start of our Top 20.

The artefact receiving the most votes was not a surprise for any of the Museum employees … it was the Coleman Frog.  The Coleman Frog has been on exhibit at the York Sunbury Museum since 1959 and is a very important artefact for the Museum.  He is a favourite with patrons of all ages!

The survey places the Harvey Studio Camera (1992.8.16) as our third most popular artefact!

Second on the Top 20 is the penny farthing bicycle.  Bicycling use to be a favourite past-time for Frederictonians and there use to be a beautiful little building on the Green, just past the Robert Burns statue, that housed the bicycle club.  Rumour has it that the building was moved to the Northside of the city.  The penny farthing is always a hit when we give school tours.  

The cash register from 1914 in our front entrance is probably one of our most photgraphed artefacts.

Our third most popular artefact so far is the Harvey Studio camera on the second floor.  Patron love looking in the lens because it reflects the image upside down.  The camera is very large and heavy.  It’s fun to ask tour groups to compare the size of a modern camera with the Harvey Studio Camera!

I won’t describe every artefact on the list but here is what we have so far:

1.  Coleman Frog

2.  Penny Farthing Bicycle

3.  Harvey Studio Camera

4.  Our 1914 Cash Register

5.  World War I Machine Gun

6.  Fire Extinguisher Grenades

7.  Horse Tricycle

8.  African Porcupine Quill Box

9.  Native Fish Trap

10.  Valcartier Camp Panoramic Photograph

11.  Ashburnham Wedding Shoes

12.  WWI Messenger Book

13.  Portrait of Sarah Peters

14.  1911 Coronation Cake

15.  Elevator Shoes

16.  Mechanical Fan

17.  St. Dunstan’s Church Steeple Cross

18.  Colt Revolver

19.  Wigwam replica

20.  The number 20 spot is tied with several artefacts …. Stay tuned as we try to break the tie this week!

Some of the Other Artefacts that Recieved Votes Last Week

The Mechanical Fan (1969.2004.1) received 2 votes last week.

The elevator shoes (1969.210.5) received a few votes ... they are located in the Loyalist exhibit.

The wigwam replica (1969.3487.1) is in the Native exhibit underneath the Native fish trap (1969.432.1) that is also on out list!

… as well as the Cement Book, the Black 8th Hussars Tunic and the Tappan Adney Canoe Model.
