Recently purchased from a long time Cushman officiando/collector this is one stunning scooter.
Technically this is a model 54B with a two-speed trans. It has elements of both a 50 and 60 series for you Cushman experts out there. We bought it because it's cool.
One great looking scooter it also happens to be a multiple show winner. In 2015 it won Best in Show the Jim Lyne Memorial award in Greely Colorado. Add to that a Cushman Club of America Junior National First and the prestigious Antique Auto Club of America National First Prize winner and you know this is one special scoot.
With considerable diligence over the course of many years, I had traced well over two hundred pieces of marked Cushman pieces, including pots, jars, crocks, coolers, a chamber pot, and a milk pail. Many of these remain with our family; some are in the Albany Institute of History and Art (AIHA); some are in the hands of Warren Hartmann, a serious collector; others are in museums with early American pottery collections.
In 1806 Paul Cushman bought lots on the outskirts of the city and began to make stoneware. There is no data suggesting he had prior experiences in pottery, a demanding and difficult craft, although he might have learned the business on the job. His likely mentor was William Capron, a recognized Albany predecessor in stoneware, or one of his employees. At any rate, Paul settled into the combined home and pottery site, where he potted until 1833.
No physical trace of the pottery building survives, nor any of his tools, cog wheels, or stamps. There are no illustrations of his workshop or related piles of wood, clay, or detritus to show us exactly what the operations looked like. All that remains are his stoneware and a few related business documents such as tax records and orders.
Finished Cushman pieces generally retain the basic color of the original clay and range in appearance from homogeneous to streaked, blotchy, or even mottled. The surface glistens with the shiny, somewhat roughened exterior glaze. The interior is covered in the contrasting dark brown hue of an applied slip, usually referred to as Albany slip, the material for which would have been obtained from the nearby Hudson River. Firing it produced a handsome, relatively homogeneous dark chestnut color.
The cobalt oxide, which had to be purchased from a supplier, was used somewhat sparingly by Cushman. After firing, the applied cobalt turned a characteristic blue color, which contrasts nicely with the basic gray of the fired clay. Typically, cobalt was brushed (usually somewhat thinly) over marks or around the attachment of the handle bases to the main body, as a highlight (figs. 10-12). As with other stoneware makers, Cushman created incised and rouletted surface decorations using a combination of geometric and floral designs.
Several Cushman pieces have irregularities in their shapes and surfaces, presumed to be unintentional defects. Some pieces are asymmetrical, even misshapen. Others came out of the kiln with firing defects, such as an extrusion in a bit of the wall. Still others sagged during firing, leaving a distorted form.
Cushman created stoneware in a highly individualistic way. His most eccentric artistry showed in his painted cobalt embellishments, probably because he was not a particularly good or careful artist. At times the cobalt wash extends beyond the name and seems hastily painted; sometimes it dribbled down. In eighteen of the known surviving pieces, some sort of form resembling branching plants was painted in with cobalt but differs both in shape and in the thickness of the cobalt.
Occasionally, the Cushman pottery produced special objects decorated specifically as commemorative or presentation pieces. The Albany Institute of History & Art has a first-rate example of a cooler heavily ornamented with, among other designs, a heart, initials, a flag, and an 1818 date (fig. 18).
In the early 1800s settlers traveled north from New York City up the Hudson River and west along the Mohawk Valley, spreading out from the rivers. Most federal kitchens or farms happily used stoneware for everyday use, and Cushman found a ready market for his pieces, enhanced by his geographically fortunate pottery location: in Albany, on the Hudson, and near the sources of raw materials. He was optimally sited to supply stoneware to the residents in the Upper Hudson, Albany, and the Mohawk Valley west. There were some Albany stoneware competitors, among them Joshua Boynton, who in 1818 advertised his stoneware shop located across the street from the Cushman pottery. Cushman withstood the rivalry, however, and Boynton soon moved away.
Although Soda Rock Winery in Healdsburg in Sonoma County was destroyed and a few other wineries lost some buildings, the 2019 vintage in the region is relatively fine. More than 90 percent of the grapes were picked, and according to experts, vineyards are quite fire resistant.
With respect to 2017 and fire, the red wines from the year of the huge Napa and Sonoma fires are out on the market. During those fires, about eighty percent of the grapes had already been picked. Fears that smoke would taint the wines is driving prices down on the highest end, in part, because those buyers purchase to put wines in their cellars or are collectors and smoke taint only gets worse over time. But evidence of smoke in these wines has not materialized.
Here is a rare Cushman for consideration. This 1987 3-Wheel Truckster has been completely gone over with a recent rebuilt engine by Parkers and Sons. It is finished in Red and Black with a brand new bench seat. Everything works on this hog, including the reclining flat bed, manual throttle, lights, etc. This little Cushman can get up to 45mph with a 3-speed gearbox - it starts and runs exceptionally well. This Truckster is a cool collectors piece that would be perfect for bombing around the farm. Cushman's are hard to come by, especially of this nature. Shows 3562 hours (not miles) and remains in excellent shape. We couldn't find any others to compare it to so make it yours today.
