Registration No: OLC 477P Chassis No: R5ABE6L119780 MOT: ExemptOnly four owners from new with current ownership since 2016Displaying a credible mileage of c.54,000 miles (atoc)The beneficiary of much recent improvementAccompanied by a large history fileArriving in 1963, the Sceptre was to be Humber’s last hurrah. Traditionally well-appointed, the Sceptre was initially based on the Super Minx from Hillman and intended to be a replacement for the Sunbeam Rapier, explaining the more modern and sportier design. The Mk III of 1967 formed part of the Rootes ‘Arrow’ range of motor cars and was one of the finest of the four models offered, with brightwork on the rear panel and wheel arches, a wood veneer dashboard and vinyl roof. Just under 44000 Mk III’s were produced before Chrysler purchased the Rootes Group and rebadged certain Hillman models in 1976.This Mk.III Sceptre was manufactured in 1976 and was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of June 1976. Fitted with the 1725cc straight-four engine mated to the four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive on third and fourth, the Humber is finished in Gold metallic with Light Brown velour interior upholstery and wood trim. ‘OLC 477P’ displays approximately 54,000 miles, which is thought genuine and has had only four owners from new, entering current ownership in 2016.Benefitting from much recent improvement, the Humber has received a new vinyl roof; Spax adjustable shock absorbers and electronic ignition. Further provided with a reconditioned steering box by Holman Engineering in Surrey last year and re-lacquered door cappings and central console by PK Veneeering in Crewe. ‘OLC 477P’ is offered with a large history file that comprises the previous service history, a selection of invoices and a current V5C.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’ Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Average' Paintwork: ‘Average' Gearbox: 'Good' Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
A VICTORIAN MAHOGANY HOUR-STRIKING DOMESTIC LONGCASE REGULATORDavis, Shiffnal, circa 1840The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with Harrisons maintaining power and deadbeat escapement incorporating jewelled pallets regulated by brass and steel grid-iron compensated seconds pendulum incorporating stirrup rate adjustment above the large lenticular bob and with fine beat adjustment to crutch, the 12 inch square silvered brass dial with overlaid Roman numeral hour disc incorporating large diameter subsidiary seconds dial over signature Davis, SHIFINAL to centre and with Strike/Silent selection switch at twelve o'clock, with decorative blued steel arrow hands and applied with leafy scroll decorated panels to spandrel areas, in a case with triangular pediment over hinged glazed hood door applied with reeded mouldings to the glazed dial aperture and with rectangular side windows, the trunk with concave throat moulding and flame figured frieze over rectangular glazed door flanked by free-standing reeded columns with brass caps and bases to front angles, the base with stepped ogee top moulding over rectangular caddy moulded raised panel flanked by canted angles, on bracket feet.211cm (83ins) high, 51cm (20ins) wide, 23cm 99ins) deep. John Davis is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World as born in Shiffnal, Shropshire in 1799 and working as a clockmaker up until circa 1875. The current lot is noteworthy in that the maker gave the pendulum and escapement a great deal of attention with the latter having jewelled pallets and the former being finely constructed with gridiron compensation, very heavy bob attached by hooks and calibrated rate adjustment within a stirrup type frame above the bob.Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean working condition having been recently serviced and is free from visible alteration or significant replacements. The dial has some moderate rubbing/discolouration to the silvering otherwise is in fine original condition and is nicely detailed. The seatboard is original to the case however there is a more recently made wooden bridge-shaped support applied to the upper surface to raise the movement to allow correct positioning of the dial within the hood aperture. As the original corresponding holes for the lines and for securing the movement via bolts through the bottom movement pillars are present in the seatboard, the current 'bridge' support would appear to be an honest replacement of a block that was previously applied to the seatboard to raise the movement. When considering these details we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is in fine condition having been recently cosmetically restored; faults are hence very much limited to bumps, scuffs and other very slight age related blemishes.Clock is complete with pair of brass-cased weights, 'gridiron' pendulum, case keys and a winder.

A GEORGE V MAHOGANY TWO-DAY MARINE CHRONOMETERKelvin, Bottomley and Baird Limited, Glasgow, circa 1920The four pillar full-plate single chain fusee movement with spotted plates engraved with serial number 7259 beneath M.O.D. arrow device, Harrison's maintaining power, reversed fusee and Earnshaw type spring detent escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance with circular timing weights, Mercer type auxiliary compensation and helical palladium balance spring beneath a faceted diamond endstone, the 3.75 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with gold spade hands, subsidiary seconds incorporating M.O.D. arrow device over serial number 7259 and inscribed in red AUXILIARY COMPENSATION, opposing upper power reserve dial and inscribed KELVIN, BOTTOMLEY & BAIRD L.T.D., 16 & 18 Cambridge St., Glasgow to centre, set in a lacquered brass bowl with screw-down bezel mounted within pivoted gimbals with locking screw, in a mahogany two-tier case with glazed top, brass strap reinforced edges, and rectangular ivorine nameplate inscribed Kelvin, Bottomley, & Baird over brass escutcheon and roundel numbered 7258 to front. The box 21cm (8.25ins) wide including handles, 19cm (7.5ins) deep, 17cm (6.75ins) high. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The firm of Kelvin, Bottomley and Baird Limited has its roots with James White, an optical instrument maker, who with the support of William Thompson (later Lord Kelvin), Professor of natural philosophy at Glasgow University (held 1846-99), set up business (primarily to service the demands of the University) in 1850. The business had a fairly precarious existence until the 1860's when White became involved with Great Eastern who were encountering problems with laying transatlantic telegraph cables. With Lord Kelvin's assistance White was able to resolve many of the issues. During the mid 1870's Lord Kelvin turned his attention to the development of an accurate marine compass which resulted in a design which was subsequently supplied by James White. In 1884 White died leading Lord Kelvin to move the business to new premises on Cambridge Street which was subsequently managed by Matthew Edwards and David Reid on his behalf. In 1899 Kelvin (now Baron Kelvin of Largs) resigned from his chair at the university and became director of the newly incorporated limited company Kelvin and James White Limited. The business expanded to take-on demand for maritime instruments generated by the boom in ship building on the Clyde becoming Kelvin, White and Hutton Limited in 1904 and then Kelvin Bottomley and Baird Limited when Dr. James Thomson Bottomley F.R.S.E. (who had been working in the firm since 1900) became chairman in 1913. The Baird name represented Alfred Baird who had been employed as principal compass adjuster for the firm since 1884. In 1934 Kelvin Bottomley and Baird Limited built an instrument factory at Basingstoke which was later to become the Smiths Industries Aerospace site. Unfortunately during WWII the firms London offices were bombed which ultimately was a major contributing factor in their decision to merge with the rival firm of Henry Hughes and Sons Limited in 1942.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible alteration or obvious replacements. There are a few spots of discolouration to the brass hence a gentle clean and service may be advisable. The dial has overall light patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the silvering otherwise appears to be in fine condition. The brass bowl and gimbal assembly appears all-original and has old yellow lacquer showing moderate wear. The gimbal locking lever appears to be a replacement.The exterior of the case appears to be in good condition but has the appearance of being stripped and re-polished with the brass elements re-finished at some point hence now has a slightly waxy feel with uneven lacquer to the brass fittings. There is also some noticeable internal bruising/scratching to the right hand side of the cover as well as some slight bruising to the opposite side. Instrument is complete with tipsy key and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
