Rare half-frame box design with original 35mm cartridges.The Agfa-Ansco Memo was a unique piece of early photographic design based more on 35mm cinema camera than most still cameras. Designed when 35mm film wasn't considered practical for still photography, in the same decade Leica made their own bid to change consumers' minds on the format, the Memo has a clever linear advance similar to how cinema cameras feed their film. An auto-cocking shutter, 5 shutter speeds and 4 aperture settings, top mounted viewfinder, frame counter, and tote handle complete the look. Such cameras were highly praised by American Boy Scouts at the time who, like European Leica users, saw the brilliant benefits of a lightweight 35mm camera for backpacking and mountaineering- a movement which would soon relegate large format cameras to portrait studios and fashion shows. Comes with a suede leather case. Issued: 1920s Dimensions: 2.25"L x 2.75"D x 5"H Manufacturer: AGFA Ansco Country of Origin: United States Condition: Age and use related wear, as-is
Rich wood and leather camera; film holders, case, box of filters.The Conley Model 15 is a well-made mahogany and leather, traditional field and hand camera fitted with substantial features for the day- vertical and horizontal shift, a long focus with locking bellows, a capable shutter with 8 speeds, wood and chrome viewfinder with folding cover and a fully revolving rear end, allowing landscape or portrait format shots without having to reposition the camera. Included in the original leather case is two wood and metal sheet film holders, one sheetpack adapter, and quite uncommonly, an entire case of original specialized lens filters for a variety of unique lens effects. While all the cameras sold by Whitley's Auctioneers are general sold as-is and untested unless otherwise noted, this Conley is in particularly good condition- bellows appear strong and supple; all shutter speed settings fire when cocked, and aperture ring moves smoothly. Pop-out focus rack works correctly, all latches close tight, and even the mirrored view finder is still usable. Overall, a very functional camera, although all speeds, light seals, and advanced functions will likely require some level of tuning. Issued: 1909 Dimensions: 12.5"L x 4.25"D x 7"H Manufacturer: Conley Country of Origin: United States Condition: Age and use related wear, as-is
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Inca, ca. 1200 to 1500 CE. A silver kero or drinking vessel hammered into a beaker shape with a flat base and a flaring spout, skillfully decorated with an abstract visage created in repousse on one side and an anthropomorphic figure flanked by a pair of simian creatures on the other side of the vessel body. The portrait face presents bold features such as striking almond-shaped eyes, arched brows, an aquiline nose, and a slight smile. Given how he is elaborately decorated with ear ornaments and a beaded necklace, he most likely represented an elite individual. An impressive royal drinking vessel that was clearly used for more than ordinary domestic purposes. Rather, vessels like this one were used during life by royalty and after life at funerary ceremonies that incorporated intricate religious libations and imbibing rites. Size: 4.375" in diameter x 7.75" H (11.1 cm x 19.7 cm)To create this piece, the ancient metalsmith hammered a silver piece into a very thin sheet, approximately the size of the finished work. Then the artisan used fine-grained stone anvils and hammer stones made of hematite or green porphyry, sometimes with animal hide attached, and a wooden core template to create the form and its repousse ornamentation, as the metalsmith hammered the silver sheet upon the wooden template. An elegant royal Inca silver kero, comprised of pure silver that would have belonged to a king or noble and/or would have been used at sacred funerary rites. Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Ron Messick collection, New Mexico, USA Condition: Expected age wear with some denting as shown, but overall form and detail are excellently preserved. Small fissures to periphery of base. Nicks to rim. Nice patina from age and handling.

A rare Imperial Chinese eight dragon roundel robe, long pao, Daoguang, with eight five clawed dragons, four are full faced and four side facing, embroidered with gold thread surrounded by five coloured clouds and bats holding auspicious symbols, with a band of running dragons inset half way along the sleeve and the horseshoe shaped cuff and neck edgings embroidered with writhing dragon’s, lively bats and clouds, the borders are edged with a rich brocade, the robe is lined with a blue silk damask, approximately 175cm cuff to cuff x 135cm high Provenance: From a private English Family collection, acquired before 1950 when found in the trunk of a military gentleman. 清道光 绛色八团金龙纹女龙袍 拍品来源：英国私人家族收藏，上世纪五十年代前发现于英国一位军官的卡车车厢内 This robe would have been worn by an Imperial Consort or a Princess, wife to a first or second rank Prince. Compare with a similarly constructed robe at the Palace Museum, Beijing, reference ID 故00049820 The 1759 regulations depict three main patterns worn by the female Royal Courtiers during the Qing dynasty 1644-1911. A full dragon robe jifu, a full dragon waistcoat chaogua and the eight-roundel robe long pao. The long pao had a pattern variation seen with or without the lishui design along the hemline. The Imperial Empress, Consort, Princess and wives of Manchu noble men were allowed to wear the third style long pao, an eight-roundel coat. Different coloured grounds distinguished the wearers from each other. Yellow was held for the Empress and Imperial first rank consorts. The second-degree Imperial consorts wore a shade of brown, incense or golden yellow. These other colours are all one of the five Imperial 'yellows' worn at court. The Castiglioni painting 1688-1766, in the Cleveland Museum (John L Severance Fund 1969-31) depicts the Emperor Qianlong with his wife and consorts, one wearing a ‘brown-incense’ eight roundel robe painted in 1736. Wives of the first and second rank Princes also wore a shade of brown. The Huangchao liqi tushi, 1759 regulations illustrate all the ranks; an illustrated plate of the Imperial yellow long pao example is housed in the British library archives. The elegant design shows these eight roundel robes are highlighted by the symmetry and balance of eight perfectly formed celestial worlds. In this example, eight five-clawed dragons (four full faced and four side facing) are embroidered with gold thread surrounded by five coloured clouds and bats holding auspicious symbols, bestowing ‘ten thousand fold’ of good fortune upon the wearer. The side facing dragons clasp the pearl of wisdom indicating Imperial power. A band of running dragons is inset half way along the sleeve and the horseshoe shaped cuff and neck edgings are embroidered with writhing dragon’s, lively bats and clouds on a deep blue silk ground. The borders are edged with a rich brocade often seen on Imperial garments. The robe is lined with a blue silk damask woven with peonies, a symbol of feminine beauty. Most Imperial women courtiers lived their life in the northern section or inner court of the Forbidden city, once raised to the rank of consort they never left the court, it was a life-long position. They had servants and riches and access to the Imperial embroidery workshops where they would commission their wardrobe. Garments were made of the highest quality and most exquisite silk cloth. The transition of colours between the 18th and 19th century changed with the introduction of new dyes available. The colour of 'brown-incense' became more a shade of aubergine. Occasionally green dyes were used. The tailoring and dye colours clearly place this robe into the first half of 19th century, before 1840. It is originally tailored still showing the classical shape used during the 18th century. The clasping of the pearl by the side facing dragons would place this robe in the order of high royalty an Imperial consort. See the full Castiglioni painting for colour guidance. See, Book Imperial Wardrobe by Gary Dickinson and Linda Wrigglesworth, Ten Speed Press ISBN number 1-870076-07-9. and Splendours of Chinas Forbidden City, Merrell ISBN 1 858942-03-9 which show a full images of Castiglioni portrait of Qianlong and his consorts, page 165.
