A FINE AND WELL-PRESENTED 1:48 SCALE STATIC DISPLAY MODEL OF THE WORLD’S FIRST TURBINE-POWERED CRAFT TURBINIA DESIGNED BY SIR CHARLES PARSONS IN 1894, modelled by John R. Haynes with bespoke pre-formed hull, painted deck with superstructure and fittings as appropriate and including anchor, winch, glazed wheel house with steering wires to aft rudder shoe, deck rails with named life buoys, raked buff-coloured funnel, engine room companionway and observation post, fitted dinghy with gratings, oars etc, the two-tone hull fitted with three propeller shafts each supported three brass propellers, mounted on brass columns within wooden glazed case with maker’s plate. Cased measurements -- 9¾ x 31 x 6in. (25 x 79 x 15cm.) Turbinia was designed by Sir Charles Parsons, inventor and builder of Parsons turbines. She was built by him in 1894 to test Parsons turbines in service and to demonstrate the advantages of turbine vs reciprocating engine propulsion. Naturally, the fastest type of craft should be used for such demonstrations. It was a sad blow when, powered by one radial flow turbine, Turbinia made less than 20 knots due to cavitation at the high turbine speeds of 1800-2000 RPM. Parsons made many studies of cavitation. The single turbine was removed and replaced by three Parsons parallel-flow turbines, each driving a shaft with three propellers on each shaft as clearly seen in this model., The Royal Naval Review for Queen Victoria’s Jubilee took place at the Spithead in 1897. With all the ships of the Navy, guest vessels, and huge crowds looking on, the tiny (comparatively) Turbinia ripped through the rows of cumbersome naval vessels at an astonishing 35 knots. This bravado display effectively demonstrated beyond question the superiority of steam turbines, and in a very short time successful turbine installations had been made and put in service on coastal steamers. The Cunard Line experimented with turbines in the 20,000 ton Carmania, and then entrusted turbines to their Mauretania and Lusitania. Both ships became world famous, the former holding the transatlantic speed record from 1910 to 1929., Turbinia was solely a demonstration vessel to show, as she certainly did, the advantages of turbine drive. Her weight of 44½ tons divided by her horsepower gave a very low 49 pounds per horsepower, only to be surpassed five years later by the American Arrow which, even with reciprocating engines, achieved a figure of 36 pounds per horsepower., Shortly after being photographed alongside the Mauretania, the first large, fast, turbine powered ocean liner, she was laid up on the Tyne. Her after part was retired to exhibition in 1927 in the Imperial Science Museum in London. In 1961 both halves were re-joined in Newcastle on Tyne where she can now be seen.

A BELL FROM H.M. SUBMARINE SARACEN, 1942, of typical form, the front inscribed in black-filled lettering P.247 1942, the reverse with the broad arrow mark, complete with clapper and sally, the bell -- 11 x 11in. (28 x 28cm.), HMS Saracen was built at Cammell Laird and launched on 16th February 1942. Her original designation was to have been P213 but there was resistance against having an unlucky ‘13’ in the number, so she became P247 - which still added up to 13. She was named Saracen in January 1943 and issued with a named bell (this lot, which has many strike marks, becoming redundant). Her short career started auspiciously when she sank U335 in the North Sea on 3rd August 1942 - one of the two survivors died when he refused to be rescued. Latterly she sank the Italian submarine Granito, the sub-chaser Maria Angelette and several axis merchantmen and convoys. Her end came on 14th August 1943 when, cruising off Bastia, Italy, she was spotted by the Italian corvettes Minerva and Euterpe who promptly depth-charged her. Forced to the surface, her crew evacuated and scuttled her to prevent capture. More recently in September 2008 the families of crewmen from Saracen were invited to Corsica to witness the unveiling of a memorial to British secret agents who helped establish the Corsican Resistance, and to the submarine that landed them, Saracen. A plaque commemorating her already existed in the fortress at Bastia, where the crew were taken after her sinking.

Bronze Age English Socketted Arrow or Javelin PointLate Bronze Age, 1,200-900 BC A cast bronze socketted projectile point with symmetrical tapering convex cutting edges and a neatly formed securing rivet hole to each side of the socket. See Evans, Sir J.The Ancient Bronze Implements, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain, 1881, p.326 for a similar item of looped and socketted form. 18 grams, 49 mm. (2"). Found by Ian Price in the side of a river bank, to the south of Eye, Suffolk, just off the road to Occold, 7th July 2012. This is a most unusual item, apparently without direct parallel. It is obviously too small to be considered a spearhead and the internal diameter of the socket suggests a shaft diamater of some 13 mm, which seems large for an arrow shaft. It is possible that it is the point for a javelin or light throwing spear, possibly with feathered flights and perhaps thrown with the aid of an atlatl or similar. A looped and socketted example from Ireland, with a more defined blade, is known. Although a complete item in its own right, it is perhaps possible that this item has been contemporaneously formed for the purpose by adapting a small spearhead tip.Extremely fine condition. Excessively rare, possibly unique.Starting Price: £5
