Elvis Presley 12 inch Acetate for "Suspicion". This WHBQ Radio station acetate from Memphis, Tennessee hails from the radio station where disc jockey Dewey Phillips played the first Elvis Presley recording Thats Alright Mama in 1954. This extremely rare acetate is on a metal disc and plays at 78 RPM. On the reverse of the acetate are the two holes with the second being for locking the disc whilst cutting the acetate proving this to be a genuine WHBQ radio station acetate. On this reverse side is a WHBQ radio station advertisement for the Ray Charles concert in Memphis on Sunday August 20th 1961. Variety magazine reported on August 23rd 1961 "History was made in Memphis Sunday 20th when for the first time an integrated audience attended the all-negro Ray Charles show...This was the first time, moreover that the FOR COLORED ONLY banner in front of the ladies restrooms was taboo during a performance at Ellis auditorium" "Suspicion" was a great favourite of Elvis Presley as it enabled him to showcase his wide vocal range. "Suspicion" was first released in the US on the LP "Pot Luck" in June 1962 with the recording session for "Suspicion" documented as taking place on March 19th 1962 together with the other Doc Pomus track "Shes not you" on the same date later to be released as a single in 1962. Suspicion for some reason was not chosen as a single for release at this time from the album. The date of the recording of "Suspicion" on this acetate is not known but one would think that it is the one from March 19th 1962 most probably. The only date we do know for sure from this acetate is the date August 20th 1961 which is recorded by the WHBQ disc jockey on the Ray Charles advert from WHBQ for the concert and ticket sales for the concert on that date. Interestingly we do not know for sure why the single Suspicion should be on this WHBQ radio station acetate. Whether the station were plugging the track we do not know. It raises interesting questions which we do not know the answers to - a fascinating piece of history. This lot is accompanied with a professionally recorded CD of the recording "Suspicion" from side 1 and also the recording of the advert for the Ray Charles concert with the Raelettes at Ellis Auditorium on Sunday August 20th 1961 from side 2. The condition of the acetate is poor to fair and there is an audio recording which you can listen to which does have audible scratches. This is an opportunity to acquire a one of a kind piece of history for Elvis Presley and his links with WHBQ Radio. We have not seen another WHBQ Elvis acetate and do not know anyone who has despite best efforts so we can not throw any more light on the subject save to say it is a rare find and a true piece of Elvis history DIGITAL VERSION OF THIS RECORDING AVAILABLE HERE

A HALF BLOCK BUILDER'S MODEL FOR S.S. MERANNIO (LATER PARITA) BUILT FOR Gledhill & Dishart BY GRAY OF HARTLEPOOL, 1881 the laminate hull carved with black painted topsides lacquered and lined decks and superstructure, plated fittings, including deck rails, winches, companionway etc, painted wooden ventilators, cutaway mast and funnel, the superstructure with open bridge with helm, fitted boats in davits, engine room light, covered hatches, and emergency steering gear, mounted in wooden display board -- 14 x 60in. (35.5 x 152.5cm.) An otherwise unremarkable tramp steamer, in 1939, she was Greek registered, re-named Parita and became part of the 'Aliyah Bet' campaign - illegal Jewish immigration to British Mandated Palatine. Chartered by a group of some 800 Jewish refugees and departing Marseilles in the middle of June, their original intention was to dock at Symrna, Turkey but they were turned away. So began a long meandering journey where the ship, looking for any port to take them, was rebuffed time and time again. After 11 weeks at sea, dehydrated, nearing starvation and losing patience, a group wrested control of the ship and, defying a tight British blockade, ran it up the beach at Tel Aviv in front of the Ritz Hotel on the 22nd August 1939. Although locals did what they could to help, the passengers were arrested and interned by the British. A few days later on 3rd September, War was declared.

A SET OF FIVE MARQUETRY PANELS FROM THE ROYAL YACHT ROYAL CHARLOTTE, EX-ROYAL CAROLINE, CIRCA 1750 walnut with ink lined satinwood inlay depicting scenes from Homer's Illiad, framed within feigned oak leaf ovals, one inscribed on the reverse Taken from the Royal Yacht of George 3rd. Presented to Mr. B. Tuckness of Deptford Dockyard during that Kings Reign with other similar inlaid pictures representing combats in the Trojan War -- one of [a] of a series of illustrations from Homers Illiad ' , another with applied manscript provenance, two now cut down -- 14 x 11in. (35.5 x 28cm.) and 8½ x 7in. (21.5 x 18cm.) mounted on gilt supports for wall hanging. (5) Provenance: Bartholomew Tuckness; Charlotte Tuckness (wife of Charles Tuckness) to Rev. J. Salwey, Broxbourne, April 1892; US Private Collection. Bartholomew Tuckness (1750-1822) was a joiner located in King Street, Deptford, who founded the firm of Tuckness & Huntley. It seems he was employed by the yard before founding his firm and retained strong connections, the Royal Charlotte being broken up at Deptford in 1820 having been laid up since 1804. Royal Caroline, principal yacht to King George II and named in honour of his wife Caroline (of Ansbach), was built at Deptford by Mr. J. Allin in 1749. Designed as a sixth-rate mounting 10-3pdrs. and 8-pdr. swivel guns, she was measured at 232 tons burden with a 90 foot gundeck and a 24 foot beam. The largest royal yacht to date and the only such vessel to exceed 200 tons until Royal Sovereign was launched in 1804, she was one of the most sumptuous and expensively decorated vessels ever constructed. Whilst the Admiralty had ordered her, they had not budgeted for her and the niggling correspondence that ensued throws interesting light onto the lavish decor - nearly £1200 for carvings with 120,000 sheets of gold leaf costing a further £1521; £200 for curtains and silks; £18 for the stern lantern and numerous other expenses. A note sent by a carpenter called John Bladwell, sent to George Jackson of the Navy Office from March 1750 may mention, in part at least, the lot offered here: Sir - I was favour'd with yours[.] the hanging for his Majesty's Room is gone Down and the other 21 Panels will all be finished Satterday [sic] Morning without fail. At that time a typical seaman received £12 per annum and her full ship rig required a crew of 70 men to handle. George II's frequent visits to Hanover meant that she was in constant use ferrying him to and from the continent and she remained a firm favourite with the King until his death in 1760. When the new King, George III, chose Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg to be his Queen, Royal Caroline was renamed Royal Charlotte in her honour and was the obvious vessel to convey the new bride to England. After the Princess Augusta was launched in 1771, Royal Charlotte lost her place as the most favoured royal yacht but continued in service. The Napoleonic Wars curtailed her use however and other than carrying the King on the occasional holiday trip to Weymouth between 1801-04, she was mostly laid up at Deptford and finally broken up there in 1820 where presumably a quantity of her fittings were sold off - it's no surprise an established supplier such as Mr Tuckness was able to acquire these very rare souvenirs which give a small hint of the quality alluded to in the Admiralty correspondence.

AN ATTRACTIVE UN-RIGGED MODEL OF THE FAMOUS RACING YACHT AMERICA (1851), PROBABLY LATE 19TH-CENTURY the 25½in. hull carved from the solid with bow decoration and stern eagle, painted deck with cut-away bow-sprit and masts, covered hatch, finely modelled capstan, deck light, companionway and circular cockpit, mounted to two turned columns on wooden base -- 11 x 31½in. (28 x 80cm.) Arguably the most celebrated racing yacht ever built, America was commissioned by a syndicate of New York businessmen who engaged George Steers to design them a schooner based upon the lines of the city's distinctive pilot boats. Launched on 3rd May, 1851, she measured 95ft in length and was constructed of five different woods, mostly white oak. She left American waters in June and, after a brief call at Le Havre, arrived at Cowes on 1st August where she caused an immediate sensation. The now famous race for which the Royal Yacht Squadron had put up a handsome new Hundred Guinea Cup took place amidst great excitement on 22nd August, 1851. Commencing at 10 o'clock, the 58 mile course was around the Isle of Wight and, after a disappointing start, America took the lead at 11.30. She crossed the finishing line at 8.37 that evening, eight minutes ahead of the nearest challenger and, in that instant, achieved the fame which was to remain hers long after her timbers had perished away.

CAPTAIN HANS LANGSDORFF'S NAVAL DRESS SWORD Kaisermarine pattern, the 29½in. pipe-backed blade stamped with maker's mark for F.W. Höller, Solingen, regulation half-basket hilt inscribed on the hinged thumb-piece Kpt. Z. See Langsdorff , contained in leather scabbard of issue -- 35½in. (90cm.) overall Provenance: Phillips Glendinings, London, Arms & Armour Sale, 26th March, 1998, lot 1064: Acquired by vendor in lieu of a debt, from a German engineer in Buenos Aires in 1957. Captain Hans Langsdorff, born at Bergen on the Baltic island of Rügen in 1894, spent much of his youth in Düsseldorf before joining the Imperial German Navy in 1912. After active service during WWI, he remained in the navy and ultimately became a torpedo specialist before accepting a senior administrative appointment with the Reichsmarine. Proving equally capable behind a desk, he was an obvious choice to command the new cruiser Admiral Graf Spee when she completed in 1936, a commission which eventually ended with him being accorded that remarkable reputation for chivalry in war which not only made him a household name at the time, but which has now endured for over 50 years. When WWII broke out on 3rd September, 1939, the 'pocket battleship' Graf Spee was already in the South Atlantic although, despite Germany's invasion of Poland on 1st September, Hitler was initially convinced that Great Britain and France would negotiate for an early peace. To this end, he kept German warships away from the commercial shipping lanes as he awaited developments and Graf Spee stood off the South American coast in company with her supply ship Altmark for almost three weeks before finally receiving orders to assume the offensive. On 20th September Langsdorff sank his first victim, the Booth Line's steamer Clement, 60 miles off Pernambuco, and in just over two months, he sank a further nine British merchantmen. His dislike of unnecessary bloodshed however, coupled with the extraordinarily humane treatment of his prisoners whom he put aboard Altmark, earned him the grudging respect of even those captains whose ships he had sunk beneath them although it was not until Altmark herself was captured off Norway the following February that the full story emerged. The Admiralty meanwhile, realising that Langsdorff had to be stopped as much to allay public concern at home as to prevent further shipping losses, mounted an urgent operation to hunt and destroy Graf Spee as rapidly as possible. Commodore Henry Harwood, Senior Royal Navy officer in the area, was given command and his flotilla - designated Force 'G' - consisted of the heavy cruiser H.M.S. Exeter and two light cruisers, Ajax and Achilles, the latter seconded from the Royal New Zealand Navy. In theory at least Force 'G' was easily capable of dealing with a single enemy heavy cruiser; in practice however, the considerable strengths of the so-called 'pocket battleship' were such that Harwood knew he faced a formidable task even allowing for the fact that he would first have to locate Graf Spee and corner her somewhere in the vastness of the South Atlantic. Intuition suggested the wide estuary of the River Plate, a vital crossroads for many South American trade routes, and Harwood's fitness for command soon proved itself when Force 'G' sighted the smoke of an unknown vessel on the horizon early on the morning of 13th December. Exeter approached to investigate and instantaneously with Harwood's confirmation that the stranger was indeed Graf Spee, Langsdorff had spotted his pursuers, rung up 'battle stations' and was steaming into action at full speed. Harwood wisely divided his force so as to minimise the effects of the enemy's main armament but not before all three of his ships had become targets. Langsdorff opened fire at approximately 6.20am. and concentrated his port salvoes on Exeter whilst his starboard guns dealt with Ajax and Achilles. Exeter bore the brunt of accurate German gunnery and by 7 o'clock she had received between 40 and 50 hits and lost two turrets. Half an hour later, her last turret was silenced and she was forced to withdraw from the action, severely damaged and with heavy casualties including 53 dead. The light cruisers fought on obstinately, despite the overwhelming odds, and even though they too were damaged - especially Ajax - their dogged tenacity probably saved Exeter and decided the outcome of the battle. Unknown to them, Langsdorff had become concerned that he was vulnerable to a combined torpedo attack and that fear, coupled with the realisation that Graf Spee had actually been hit 20 times by British shells, provoked a surprising reaction and he broke off the engagement to run for shelter in the Plate Estuary 300 miles to the west. Racing past and ignoring a homeward-bound British merchantman the Shakespeare, Graf Spee made the neutral port of Montevideo after a 12 hour dash pursued by Ajax and Achilles. Britain immediately requested the Uruguayan authorities to expel Graf Spee within 24 hours or intern her under the provisions of International Law, thereby initiating a frenzied burst of diplomatic activity worthy of the most popular fiction. Despite the best efforts of both Langsdorff and the German Ambassador, the permitted stay was only extended to 72 hours and Langsdorff, surrounded by rumours of approaching British reinforcements, was faced with a bitter choice. As the 8.00pm. deadline neared on 17th December, Langsdorff took his second fateful decision and having released the few British prisoners still aboard his ship, and bidding farewell to those who had given him sanctuary in Montevideo, ordered Graf Spee to make ready to sail. Clearing her moorings at 6.15pm., she made for the open sea followed by the German steamer Tacoma. With her battle ensigns flying, she stopped engines at the three mile limit and there, in full view of Ajax and Achilles, she suddenly and unexpectedly blew up and destroyed herself with pre-set explosives. Her crew were taken aboard Tacoma which proceeded to Buenos Aires where, on 20th December, Captain Langsdorff took his own life rather than face the ignominy of surrender and internment. It was a tragic end for a man who, by then, had earned the admiration of those who were hunting him down as well a those who had suffered loss at his hands. To many he epitomised the chivalry of an earlier age and even though he had sunk over 50,000 tons of British merchant shipping, not a single allied life had been lost aboard any of those vessels. In fact, his conduct throughout the Graf Spee's final commission was such that he was, and still is, universally regarded as one of the last gentleman raiders in the history of war at sea. Admiral Graf Spee, the third of the 'Deutschland' class cruisers [the so-called 'pocket battleships'] was laid down in 1932, launched in 1934 and completed in January 1936. Displacing 11,700 tons, she measured 610 feet in length with a 71 foot beam, and could make 28 knots under full power. Her design, as a fast heavily-armed though lightly-armoured long-range merchant raider, proved a triumph and had all eight of the class been built instead of three which were completed, the Royal Navy would probably have faced an impossible task given that it had only three capital ships capable of matching their speed.

ANTHONY BRANDRETT (BRITISH, 20th-CENTURY) The Boston Tea Party -- first light 17th December, 1773 (The Morning After) oil on canvas signed 'Anthony Brandrett' (lower left) 28 x 46in. (71 x 117cm.) This interesting picture represents the culmination of several years' research, and a further two years on the easel before the artist was satisfied it represented an accurate account of this seminal event in American history. Typically the only images seen are the same few period engravings, often themselves done several years later, and often copying each other (together with their attendant inaccuracies) suggesting few, if any quality depictions survive. What is not generally recalled by artists is the inconvenient fact that the actual "Tea Party" - where the Sons of Liberty, some dressed as native Indians, ditched the cargoes of tea into the sea - took place at night making it much harder for artists to represent the scene. Using maps and period references, the waterfront, or more specifically the long-lost Griffins Wharf, has been re-constructed as accurately as possible; as has the disposition of the three East India Company ships at the centre of the action - the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver. The men who met on the evening of the 16th December initially did so in the Faneuil Hall (the white building on the left in the painting). That however proved too small and so they transferred to the Old South Meeting House (seen here with a steeple on the right). News of the infamous Tea Act (and the implied right for the UK government to tax the Colonies) had reached them whilst the ships were in transit and so allowed time to consider a response. Numbering up to 130, the chairman (Samuel Adams) lost control of the meeting and the men, intent on taking direct action, spent three hours tipping some 342 cases of tea over the sides of the ships. This picture shows jubilant crowds assembling early in the morning with some pushing floating tea chests under the water. The British repercussions were swift and draconian and lead directly to the War of Independence in 1776.
