It is keeping good time. Clearly we do have the weights and pendulum. We have the winding and door key. The door lock is a later lock. The hood is in generally good condition. The block beneath the eagle and ball finial is not original and the finial probably later also. It looks as if there will originally have been perhaps a wheatsheaf here which is missing. The cornice has minor losses and nibbles. The hood door is not warped. The mask around the dial fits. The clock is not a marriage. The trunk door is not warped. The quarter columns and sides of the trunk are in good condition. The base front panel has a full height left hand stress fracture, all feet are present.

Both doors are not warped and close as they should. We have the locks and both keys.

CONDITION REPORT: The widest point is 48.5 cm. We have the weight and pendulum. The clock appears to be ticking away as it should. It is not however striking when advanced. The moon phase and date appear to operate when the hands are manually advanced. The case is in generally good condition. The hood is in good order with the exception of the cracked glass. The dial is a little worn in places. The moon phase is well painted with no significant flaking. The trunk door is not warped. There are no splits to the sides. The base is in generally good condition all round. The feet are later additions. The bottom base moulding may also be later we are not sure about this.

CONDITION REPORT: The green trunk is structurally sound. All of the corner brackets, hasps and metalwork are rusty. There is also rust appearing where the paintwork is scratched. The right hand leather carrying handle is broken. The front handle is perished and beginning to break. The larger trunk also has surface rust to all exposed metal sections. The carrying handles are beginning to perish but are serviceable. There are numerous small scratches, marks and scuffs etc due to the nature of the items.

A George III oak and mahogany banded longcase clock with painted dial and eight day striking movement, with swans neck pediment above the arched painted dial and short trunk door with conforming base raised on block feet. Height 216 cm. CONDITION REPORT: We have not had the clock running. However if weight is applied to both the going and strike train the movement does seem to operate. We have both weights and the pendulum. We also have the winding key. The hood is in generally good order with only very minor veneer losses. The glass is not cracked. The dial has paint crazing as one would expect but no significant losses. The trunk door is not warped. It is however currently locked and we do not have the key. The main trunk is in generally good condition with no significant issues. The base has a small piece of moulding on the left hand side but again this is minor. The backboards are original. The feet are in good order but are probably later.

An oak grandmother clock, with moulded cornice above a blind fretwork frieze in turn above a three quarter length trunk door and with brass dial with two train striking movement. Height 169 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The case is in very good order with no issues. The face and movement are both dirty and dusty. We do not have the pendulum and cannot tell if the movement runs or not.

A George III walnut longcase clock with eight day striking movement by Joseph Smith Bristol, dated 1769, with moon phase subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture, flanked by fluted columns with long well figured trunk door and all raised on bracket feet. Height 224 cm, width 46 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away and keeping good time. The case is in generally good order. The hood door is not warped. The veneers to the hood front are in good condition. There are some stress fractures to the frieze on the left hand side of the hood. The trunk door is not warped. The veneer colour is generally good. There are some minor old stress fractures and veneer repairs but none of any significance. The base has stress fractures and cracks to both the front and sides but is structurally sound. The plinth and bracket feet are clearly later replacements. The base front panel line inlay does not quite match that of the trunk door. It is likely that the whole of the base is a later replacement.

Dial width 30 cm, case height excluding finials 219 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away. It strikes when advanced. The movement fits well around the mask. The cheeks do not appear to have been altered. The seat board appears old but does have holes in either side that do not match up with anything on the top of the cheeks. We have the brass cupboard weight and what appears to be the original pendulum with a very large brass cupboard bob. The face itself requires some minor work. The fretwork pediment has been detached and has a break and glue marks. The hood door is not warped and closes as it should. We have the lock and key. The trunk door is not warped and we have the lock and key. The sides of the trunk are in generally good condition. The bottom right hand return moulding at the narrow part of the case is missing.

H.M.S. Zinnia was a Flower-class corvette that was launched in November 1940 and commissioned on 30 March 1941. She protected convoys in the North Atlantic during the Second World War as part of the Battle of the Atlantic. On 23 August 1941, while escorting Convoy OG 71, she was hit by a torpedo from U-564, commanded by Reinhard Suhren, exploded and sank west of Portugal. The Second World War anti-U-boat operations D.S.C. group of eight awarded to Commander C. G. Cuthbertson, Royal Naval Reserve, commanding H.M.S. Zinnia, whose meeting with Nicholas Monsarrat immediately following the disastrous Gibraltar convoy OG. 71 inspired the latter to write his best selling novel, “The Cruel Sea”: Cuthbertson was one of only 15 survivors from his torpedoed ship, and was fortunate to be picked up by a dinghy from H.M.S. Campion after clinging to the trunk of a body to stay afloat - ‘with blood and oil fuel coming out of me both ends’ Distinguished Service Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1940’ and privately engraved, ‘C. G. Cuthbertson, Lieut. Commr., R.N.R.’; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; Burma Star, clasp, Pacific; War Medal 1939-45, with M.I.D. oak leaf; Royal Naval Reserve Decoration, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1941’, mounted court-style as worn, together with U.S.S.R. 40th Anniversary 1945-85 Commemorative Medal, very fine and better (8) £6,000-£8,000 --- Provenance: Sotheby’s, July 1995; Ron Penhall Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, September 2006. D.S.C. London Gazette 1 January 1941. M.I.D. London Gazette 25 August 1941 and 1 January 1946. Charles George Cuthbertson was born in Gillingham, Kent in September 1906, the son of an Engineer Captain, R.N. Destined to follow in his father’s footsteps from an early age, he attended the training ship Worcester, lying at Greenhithe on the Thames, and was appointed a Midshipman in the Royal Naval Reserve in the new year of 1923. But as a result of the cutbacks being imposed on the strength of the Royal Navy, he opted instead to join the Merchant Navy, in which he was accepted as a Cadet-Apprentice by the Union Castle Mail Steamship Co. at the end of 1923. A diligent and competent student, he passed the relevant examinations without difficulty and obtained his full Master’s Certificate in 1930 at the unusually early age of 24. Thereafter he served in various capacities aboard a number of Union Castle vessels around the globe, all the while attending his annual naval training with the Royal Naval Reserve. Early Wartime Career and a D.S.C. The outbreak of hostilities in 1939, in which year Cuthbertson had attained advancement to Lieutenant-Commander, R.N.R., found him serving as 2nd Officer of the Union Castle Line’s prestigious Cape Town mail route ship, Carnarvon Castle, shortly thereafter destined to be converted into an Armed Merchant Cruiser. But the Admiralty already had plans for such qualified and experienced officers as Cuthbertson, and for his own part he was immediately attached to the Royal Navy for service as O.C. of an ad hoc flotilla of 70 anti-submarine trawlers, their task to patrol the east coast of Scotland, particularly in the Fleet’s main anchorage at Scapa Flow, in addition to the vital dockyard at Rosyth. But in the course of this appointment, that lasted until October 1940, Cuthbertson also volunteered to participate in a number of daring missions for “Gubbins’ Flotilla” in the Norwegian campaign, the latter comprising an irregular force of small ships and fishing vessels - including some of the renowned Scottish “puffers” - that carried out clandestine operations in and out of Norway’s fjords supplying Gubbins (later of S.O.E. fame) and his men behind-the-lines with vital equipment, personnel and ammunition. Supporting these ‘independent’ troop companies - out of which soon emerged the formidable Royal Marine Commandos - was a hazardous business, and Cuthbertson twice had ships sunk under him by enemy air attack. On 10 October 1940, he was appointed to his first command, H.M.S. Hibiscus, a Flower-class corvette which had been specifically built for convoy escort duties, but, which, nonetheless, lacked speed and armament. Notwithstanding these shortcomings, he commanded her with distinction over the coming months, not least on the night of 19-20 October, just a few days into his appointment, when, as part of Atlantic convoy HX. 79, the Hibiscus made an unsupported and daring attack on a U-boat - that same night 12 of the convoys merchantmen were sunk. Cuthbertson, who was gazetted for the D.S.C. on New Year’s Day 1941, was next appointed to the command of another Flower-class corvette, the Zinnia, which ship he joined that February. It was a busy month, for on the 22nd he also had to attend an investiture at Buckingham Palace to receive his D.S.C. Zinnia, Convoy OG. 71 and the Monsarrat Connection The terrible fate of convoy OG. 71 - vividly described in Nightmare Convoy by Paul Lund and Harry Ludlam - was to prove the inspiration for Nicholas Monsarrat’s famous title The Cruel Sea, for, as a young R.N.V.R. officer, he witnessed the unfolding massacre of the convoy’s merchantmen from the escort H.M.S. Campanula. Moreover, it was his meeting with Cuthbertson after he had been rescued that eventually led to the birth of Monsarrat’s fictitious character, “Commander Ericson”, a role so ably portrayed by Jack Hawkins in the film that followed in the wake of The Cruel Sea’s success in print. In mid-August 1941 Cuthbertson was ordered in the Flower Class corvette Zinnia to join the escort for OG. 71, outward bound for Gibraltar. First spotted by enemy aircraft on the 17th, the convoy came under repeated U-boat attack once clear of Land’s End, and lost several ships, amongst them the cargo liner S.S. Aguila, which was torpedoed on the 19th with heavy loss of life, including an entire detachment of Wrens. In fact the U-boats continued to harass the convoy all through the Bay of Biscay until, in the early hours of the 23rd, Zinnia herself was torpedoed off the coast of Portugal, near Oporto. Lund and Ludlam’s Nightmare Convoy takes up the story: ‘Zinnia, captained by Lieutenant-Commander Charles Cuthbertson, R.N.R., kept close station in her new position, carrying out a broad irregular zig-zag at fourteen knots. Both the captain and his No. 1, Lieutenant Harold Chesterman, R.N.R., were on the bridge. After the grim fate of the Bath with her exploding depth-charges, Lieutenant-Commander Cuthbertson had ordered all Zinnia’s depth-charges to be set to safe, and the corvette was keenly on the alert with extra bridge lookouts ordered to keep watch for torpedo tracks. Lieutenant Chesterman was on the starboard side of the bridge peering through the darkness trying to see the convoy and judge when the Zinnia was about 2,000 yards off to make a turn to the outward leg. The order “Port ten” had just been given and the corvette was turning to port and heeling to starboard when a torpedo from U-564 struck her portside abreast of the main bulkhead between the engine-room, bridge and foc’sle. There was a blinding flash and violent explosion followed by angrily hissing clouds of escaping steam. The captain had just stepped out of the bridge asdic house. In a split second it collapsed behind him and parts of the ship were thrown into the air - Zinnia instantly heeled over on to her starboard side beam ends and in five seconds had capsized through 120 degrees, hurling the captain from the compass platform into the water. So close had he been to the explosion that a mass of flame had s...
