The Hans Schifferle Collection 1947 Indian 1,200cc Big ChiefRegistration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. 3479452Engine no. CDG 9452 B (see text)Nowadays the original Indian company is remembered mainly for its powerful, large-capacity v-twins, which first appeared in the 1900s and lasted in production right up to Indian's demise half-a-century later. In 1920 a smaller model, the 600cc Scout, joined the 1,000cc Powerplus and then two years later the range was extended to encompass a new, Scout-based 1,000cc model: the Chief, first of a noble line that would endure until 1953. Constantly developed, the Chief had gained a new frame and forks, dry-sump lubrication and coil ignition by 1940, that year's models being notable as the first to have plunger rear suspension and the deeply skirted fenders of the quintessential Chief. With war looming, Indian increasingly turned to the production of military models. Indian's first significant post-war development was a change to girder forks for the 74ci (1,200cc) Big Chief, by then Indian's only model. In 1950 the Chief's engine was stretched to 80ci (1,320cc) and a telescopic front fork, left-foot gear shift and right-hand throttle twist-grip adopted, the latter for the first time on a production Indian. Changes made to the last-of-the-line 1952/53 Chiefs were relatively minor, the most obvious being a smaller front fender and the adoption of a bench-type seat. This Big Chief was purchased from a Turin-based collector in June 2002. Helmut Lichtenberg advises that both fuel tank halves were rebuilt due to weeping, and the carburettor refurbished, while the engine was found to be good, only requiring new pistons and valves. We are advised that the generator is a little weak (poor charge) and ideally needs rewinding. The machine was exercised annually until approximately eight months ago, while the engine is said to have started 'first kick' when last run. The Indian was previously registered in the UK as 'GSK 765', and the VRN appears on the HPI database, albeit exported. Nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding. Re-registering the machine is the responsibility of the buyer. It should also be noted that HPI report lists engine number 'CDF410', which may indicate a change of engine. The machine is offered with German Fahrzeugschein; old ASI Certificato di Identita and correspondence; expired MoTs (2000/2001): purchase receipt; expired TüV (MOT) certificates; and assorted correspondence.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

MANCHESTER VERSUS CANCER MEMORABILIA. From a number of the excellent concerts held between 2006 and 2010. Includes a signed drumskin, poster from 2007, passes, DVD, VHS, letters, badges, programmes, 2 t-shirts (Bench 2007 & 2008), dressing room sign and more. These gigs were such noble efforts by Andy Rourke and Monaco’s ex-manager Nova Rehman to honour his late sister Nina. Wild affairs these... they brought out equally the best and worst in a lot of people. Very hard work and nearly finished me and Nova off, to be sure. All the concerts raised a lot of money so were well worth the efforts.

NEW ORDER SIGNED FINE TIME US 12" SINGLE. Signed by all four of the original band to include Peter Hook, Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert.Sticks out like a sore thumb to me on Technique, but has great impact. The Barry White bit was Barney’s idea to fun it up. The original chorus featured a great lyric about a tramp drinking wine on a park bench... Rob Gretton loved it, but Barney wiped it saying, “It’s too New-Orderee!”.

Lot 75
Registration No: TSY 101Chassis No: 206E/274704MOT: ExemptThe subject of a photographically documented restoration some ten years agoJust emerged from a glass out respray and looking very smartDesirable 'Low Line' model and one of just 92 surviving Zephyr/Zodiac MKIIs currently known to the DVLAAcquired by its last registered keeper in 2011, ‘TSY 101’ was treated to an extensive, photographically documented restoration thereafter. Finished in Black over White with White upholstery, the Ford has recently had its paintwork refreshed and so presents very nicely. The brightwork is in good order too. Mechanically standard, the 2.6-litre straight-six engine is allied to three-speed manual transmission with a column gearshift. Surviving Zodiac MKII Saloons are few and far between these days which is a shame given what stylish yet practical classics they are. Imbued with a large dose of transatlantic glamour, ‘TSY 101’ is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and the aforementioned restoration images.The Zodiac name was first seen on a Ford at the 1953 Earls Court Motor Show. From day one it denoted the top of the range model – above its siblings, the Consul and Zephyr. The trio were completely restyled in 1956, and the much bigger glass area, tail fins and optional two-tone paint schemes had a heavy American influence. The newcomers were quite a bit larger than their predecessors, with the wheelbase increased by 3 inches to 107 inches and the overall width stretched to 69 inches. With bench seats front and rear, these Fords would comfortably seat up to six adults and had boots to match. The six cylinder in-line engines of the Zephyr and Zodiac were increased in capacity to 2553cc to give an output of 86bhp. This was sufficient to allow a 0-60mph time of 17.9 seconds and a top speed of almost 90mph – lively performance for a largish family car of the period. The engine was either paired with a three-speed, column-change manual gearbox (for which overdrive was an option) or a Borg Warner automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front with MacPherson struts and coil springs and a live axle at the rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. Braking was initially by drums all round, but front discs became optional in 1960 and standard the following year. The Mark II reigned for six years, during which time 294,506 Zephyrs and Zodiacs were produced.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: JC 4435Chassis No: A/EB263186MOT: ExemptCurrent registered keeper since 19661 of only c.800 made and a rare survivorThe subject of much past restoration work and comes with a bench seat for three-up motoring! PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this lot as it appears on the accompanying continuation logbook is A/EB263186 (with the ‘AEB’ prefix identifying it as a ‘Nippy’ model). However, the chassis number which is listed on its V5C Registration Document has been transposed to AEB963186. The engine currently fitted is a three-bearing crank unit and not original to the chassisThe stampings on the accompanying continuation logbook are a little indistinct but it appears that the current registered keeper acquired this delightful Nippy in 1966. A true Seven enthusiast, he fitted a bench seat for three-up motoring but the past fifty-five years have only seen 10,000 miles or so added to the odometer! First registered in Caernarvonshire on 12th March 1937 (or so its ‘JC 4435’ number plate would imply), the Austin had migrated to Yorkshire by the 1960s. Fitted with a replacement engine that same decade, it is nicely detailed throughout with a badge bar, wooden dashboard, carpeted boot and rear-mounted spare wheel. The snug hood is complimented by sidescreens and wind deflectors. A rare survivor coming from long-term ownership, this wonderful Nippy is described by the vendor as being in ‘good overall’ condition with regards to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale with continuation logbook, V5C Registration Document and bucket seats.Brainchild of Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge, the Austin Seven looked almost impossibly small when launched in 1922. Occupying the same 'footprint' as a motorcycle and sidecar combination, it nevertheless boasted all the advantages of a 'full-size' motor car. Responsible for helping motorise Britain while simultaneously sounding the cyclecar industry's death knell, the baby Austin was brilliantly yet simply engineered. Based around an 'A-frame' chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a spiral bevel back axle, it was powered by a sewing machine-esque 747cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed (later four-speed) manual transmission. An evolution of the Type EB ‘65’ which itself had been inspired by the legendary Type EA Sports ‘Ulster’, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ arrived during 1934. Visually near identical to its immediate predecessor with the same low-slung stance and distinctive rounded tail, the newcomer was predominantly bodied in steel over an ash frame (though, early cars utilised the same aluminium panelling as the Type EB ‘65’). Powered by a tuned engine allied to four-speed manual transmission and benefiting from a lowered centre of gravity, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ proved an amusingly brisk and chuckable sports car. Phased out in 1937, total ‘Nippy’ production is thought to have amounted to just c.800 cars.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this lot as it appears on the accompanying continuation logbook is A/EB263186 (with the ‘AEB’ prefix identifying it as a ‘Nippy’ model).

Lot 81
A RARE PORTRAIT OR MEDALLION REDUCTION LATHEUnsigned, mid 19th centuryThe substantial triangular bed applied with two sliding perpendicular faceplate assembles, one larger than the other and with worm gear drive to rear sharing the same long horizontal driving screw terminating with stepped wooden pulleys to right hand side, the front applied with complex pin-pivot assemblies for the mounting and operation of the tracing and cutting bar with the right hand also automatically adjusted in the vertical plane by an arrangement of worm gears connected to the that driving the faceplates, the whole raised on open rectangular end uprights with out-swept hipped feet onto a rectangular platform base cut with slots for bench mounting, (incomplete). 72cm (28.5ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep, 36cm (14.25ins) high. The current lot is designed to create a smaller copy of a relief decorated medallion using a system of fine gearing, pivots, detents and a beam to geometrically project a tracing of the pattern mounted on the larger faceplate plate onto the smaller secondary plate at a smaller scale. This form of lathe, which uses principles similar to that of a pantograph, were developed in France during the late 18th century. The current lot however appears to be an English model very much in the style of Henry Maudslay (1771-1831), a British engineer who developed a series of finely engineered lathes for screw-cutting and other purposes during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Condition Report: The lathe is incomplete as there is a block to the centre of the beam which has vacant pivot holes as well a yoke also with vacant pivot holes to unattached end. The smaller wheel appears to be a replacement. At the large wheel end is a vertical slide controlled by a fine screw fitted with a pivoted double-yoke assembly which also has vacant pivot holes to the second yoke again indicating that an additional part of the mechanism would be attached at this point. Otherwise all threads are operational and the tool is essentially in sound original condition but with bumps, scuffs and discolouration/staining to finishes commensurate with age and workshop use.

A FINE FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKAttributed Henri Jacot, Paris for retail by J. Klaftenberger, London, circa 1865The eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of bells and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with regulation by gilt platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller bell, the inside of the frontplate stamped 670 and the backplate stamped with further number 765 to lower left and engraved J. KLAFTENBERGER, 157 REGENT STREET to bottom margin, the dial with fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing circular white enamel Roman numeral circular insert inscribed J. KLAFTENBERGER, 157 REGENT STREET to centre and with blued steel moon hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the engraved gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass within repeating swag border over foliate panel engraved panel bands to top mouldings and channel-moulded uprights, the ogee-outline base further engraved with panels of fruiting foliate and swags, the underside with CLOCK/SILENT/QUARTERS strike selection lever.14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep. Details such as the straight uprights of the handle, rectangular top glass set into an engraved surround, panel decoration to the upper and lower rails, and the design of engraving to the dial mask can be directly compared to an example by Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other TRAVELLING CLOCKS an page 148 (Figure 9-18). The escapement platform can also be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Jacot (number 825) which is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14). Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920.The highly regarded retailer of clocks, watches silverware and objet d'art, Charles Ignaz Klaftenberger, was born in 1802 and entered into partnership with D.F. Aubert in 1835. The firm were appointed watchmakers to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and traded from retail premises at 157 Regent Street, London. They exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the partnership appears to have lasted until 1863 after which it would appear that Klaftenberger worked alone until 1881. Klaftenberger only sold the finest carriage clocks supplied by the best makers such as Drocourt and Jacot, with the current lot being a fine example almost certainly supplied by the latter.Condition Report: The movement is in clean fully working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements (including the strike selection switch to the underside which works correctly). Indeed the only (very minor) fault is that the alarm hand does not release the mechanism at the correct time (releases when set around three-hours ahead of the time on the dial). The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults to the enamel of the principal dial; the subsidiary alarm dial has a hairline crack through the centre. The mask is in good condition with only slight overall 'mellowing' to the gilding. The case is also in fine condition with no visible chips to any of the glasses and only slight mellowing/discolouration to the gilding in places.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GILT BRASS CARIATIDES CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK Probably by Henri Jacot, Paris, late 19th centuryIn part dismantled condition, the eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with regulation by platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the inside of the frontplate stamped 439, J.. and the backplate stamped with repeat serial number 439, the engine-turned gilt brass dial with fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised rosette centre and blued steel moon hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt break-arch cariatides case with hinged reeded carrying handle over thick curved top glass to pediment inset with a cast laurel wreath to tympanum incorporating repeat button, The cornice with reeded band over, Classical female term applied canted angles, on conforming reeded band decorated ogee moulded base with stepped skirt and squat pad feet, the underside with Grande Sonnerie/Silence/Petite Sonnerie selection lever, (part disassembled with under-dial work, escapement and all other components normally fitted to the exterior of the plates presently off the movement and bagged).18cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle; 11.5cm (4,5ins) wide; 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a horologist. The current lot can be directly compared to an example attributed to Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 107 (Fig. 6-44) whilst another, also by Jacot and in a case of identical form, is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 172 (Plate VII/24) as well as on the rear of the dust jacket. Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henri Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920.Condition Report: As catalogued the current clock is being offered in part-disassembled condition hence will require the attention of a suitably experienced clockmaker/horologist to re-assemble and make the necessary adjustments before the clock can be appreciated in working condition. We understand that the clock was being re-assembled after being dismantled for a clean/service when the previous owner (a skilled horologist) passed away and has been stored for a few years in this condition. Although we can offer no assurances it would appear that the trains are in good condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements and the escapement appears to be in sound condition and most likely original to the clock. All the under-dial work has been part categorised and bagged-up and cursory checking through would suggest that all significant components are present and in serviceable condition however as we are not trained horologists we cannot offer any assurances that this is the situation. The dial is in fine condition with only very minimal build-up of light surface dirt/grime. The case appears complete and intact with gilding exhibition only light wear/discolouration to high spots; all glasses appear free from visible damage with the exception of the left hand side panel which has slight chipping to one corner.There is no winding key present with the current lot.
