Lossing, in his “Home of Washington,” says: ‘Very few articles of the personal property of General George Washington, except the Library, remains at Mount Vernon. After Mrs. Washington’s death the per- sonal property was distributed according to the directions of his Will, and the remainder sold. The Purchasers were chiefly members of the family, the grandchildren of Mrs. Washington taking nearly all the plate and furniture. Many of these things have been described and delineated in these pages, and many others have been scattered over the Country and since lost.” Colonel Philip Marsteller was of old Pennsyl- vania Dutch Stock, and was elected Member of the Constitutional Convention of July, 1776, from Lebanon, Pennsylvania. He was appointed Lieut.- Colonel of the First Battalion of Lancaster County. He acted as Postmaster and Agent to super- intend the purchase of flour for the French Fleet in 1779. He was also Assistant Forage Master in 1780. For his services he received the thanks of General Washington. Shortly after the close of the Revolution Col. Marsteller removed with his family to Alexandria, 31 12 Virginia, where he engaged with his Son in the auction and commission business. At the death of General Washington, Col. Marsteller was one " of the six Colonels to act as honorary pall-bearers. - His Son and Grandson also attended the funeral, and they afterwards carried on the auction commis- sion business established by their predecessor, and it was through their forethought that the Washing- ton Relics were preseved in their family. Various heirs to the Washington Estate who needed money would send their Relics to the Marsteller Auction Rooms for Sale. If they did not fetch, in the judgment of the proprietor, sufficient price, he would buy them in for himself. At the time of the sale of these Relics they were not appreciated as they are today, so Mr. Marsteller was able to purchase the many interesting Relics which are enumerated below. It would be proper to say that Mr. Marsteller (and his Ledger shows it), was in the habit of making Joans to his neighbors. A certificate of authenticity from the Marsteller heirs will be given the purchaser of each of these Relics. WASHINGTON’S DRAFTING INSTRUMENTS. Set of Drafting Instruments, with the Ivory rules, com- plete, in small leather covered case, These are the original Drafting Instruments used by Genl. Geo. Washington in drawing his plans of various surveys made by him tn his early days. Ona strip of chamois skin, on the inside lining of the case, he has written his signature when a youth of 17 years. ‘‘ George Washington, 1749.” His executors found these instruments locked up in his Iron Safe. They are of course among the earliest authenticated relics of Washington, and were associated with his daily life for almost fifty years. His appraisers found the ‘Case of Instruments and Parallel Rules in Iron Safe, $175°.” At the private sale among the heirs, Lawrence Washington bought 32 13 them for $20.00. On Sept. 23, 1823, S. A. Marsteller bought them with books for $22.52. This ts about the only relic of Washington as a surveyor extant, as his surveying instruments were destroyed by fire in 1871 in the museum of the Wash- ington Masonic Lodge, at Alexandria, Va. A certificate as to thetr genuineness will be given. WASHINGTON’S DRESSING GLASS. Small Mahogany Chippendale Dressing Glass, with stand; drawer 1n base. Belonged to Genl. Geo. Washington. In the Appratser’s _ Inventory it will be found as ‘1 Dressing Glass $3.00.” This was purchased at a Public Auction, held at Manassas, Va.,in 1903, by Sheriff Leachman, acting under decree of the Circuit Court of Prince William County in the partition Le 34 suit of Marsteller vs. Marsteller.

A. Marsteller at one of his sales (with tts con- tents consisting of books), n 1826, which he sold for the account of one of the Washington heirs at Mount Vernon.

Jn Marsteller’s Ledger he notes the sale of 1 P.
