The items are being sold only as a collection. The collection consists of an oil on canvas portrait of Oliver Bourne, his original desk, and a rare pair of leather fire buckets. The oil on canvas is c.1820-30. Bourne's original desk is in old blue paint from when he was the postmaster of Kennebunkport, Maine c.1820
The pair of leather fire buckets is in exceptional condition from the Kennebunkport original fire brigade dated 1825. These items have only been out of the family one time in the 1990's and have been in a prominent private collection until now.
