1926 Humber 12/25 Tourer Reg. no. GD 1848 Chassis No.12033 Engine No.12024 The 12/25 featured a four-cylinder monoblock engine of i.o.e. configuration of 1795 cc with a four-speed gearbox in unit construction. It features four wheel brakes with the gate-change gear lever and handbrake situated on the right of the driver. It has a Vee-windscreen and rear luggage rack with the spare wheel mounted on the off-side running board. The car also benefits from an original Auster rear screen, which makes travelling in the rear with the hood down much more pleasurable! When purchased from an auction in Harrogate it was described as a one family owned vehi-cle, however it would appear that the car had two previous owners prior to entering the very long term ownership of George Anderson a builder near Kelso in 1934. It was eventually sold from his estate in 2006. Up until that time the car had remained in Scotland. What is certain is that one could not find a more original car than this one, and we are told that it has the quietest gearbox of any Humber 12/25! The car featured in the film `The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie` c.1975(?) (There is a period photo in the history file.) It is finished in traditional Humber Mole colour with black wings and the deep buttoned brown leather interior, is the original from new but is an absolute delight for those who like originality! Since purchase the car has undergone a total engine rebuild and a full re-trim of the hood, hood bag, and double tonneau in Wigan fabric. Every effort has been made to ex-actly replicate the original in every detail and the car is to the original specification in all re-spects with the exception of directional indicators for safer driving in modern traffic. Only 500 miles have been driven since the engine rebuild and it is due an oil change and re-setting of valve clearances etc. It has by no means been fully run-in, and careful use for the next few hundred miles will be rewarded in the long-term. The car has been known to The Humber Register for many years. There is a box containing various silver cups won by the car at vintage gatherings, a workshop service manual, the original handbook for the car, an old buff coloured logbook, many past MoT`s and tax discs going back over decades. The jack, jack handle, wheel brace and oil cans are stowed against the engine firewall, whilst the starting handle is permanently fixed at the front of the car. The petrol dip stick and other tools are stowed under the front seat. MOT`d until May 2012. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
A Victorian 16th Queens Lancers Sabretache, bearing the regimentÍs device in gilt, mounted for display, with brass plaque ï16th The Queens LancersÍ, framed and glazed, the reverse inscribed in paint ïCol Wyndham QuinÍ, 42cm x 39cm. The 16th Queens Lancers. The regiment was raised as the second of the new regiments of light dragoons in 1759, as the 16th Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, also known as BurgoyneÍs Light Horse. In 1766 they were renamed after Queen Charlotte as the 2nd (or The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, the number being an attempt to create a new numbering system for the light dragoon regiments. However, the old system was quickly reestablished, with the regiment returning as the 16th (The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons in 1769.They arrived in New York in September, 1776. They were involved in fighting at Brandywine, Paoli, and Monmouth Court House. They returned to Britain in December, 1778.They became lancers in 1816, as the 16th (The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Lancers). The title was simplified in 1861 to the 16th (The QueenÍs) Lancers. After service in the First World War, the regiment retitled as the 16th The QueenÍs Lancers in 1921, and was amalgamated with the 5th Royal Irish Lancers to form the 16th/5th Lancers (later the 16th/5th The QueenÍs Royal Lancers) the following year.

From 1890 until 1894 he served as an adjutant with the Royal Gloucester Hussars, and was promoted major in the 16th Lancers in 1893. During the South African War in 1900, he was mentioned in despatches, and was awarded the QueenÍs Medal with three clasps and the D.S.O. He became a Companion of the Bath in 1903 and served as lieutenant colonel in the Glamorganshire Imperial Yeomanry. Wyndham-Quin was elected M.P. (Con.) for South Glamorgan in 1895 when he defeated A.J. Williams, and he continued to represent this division in parliament until 1906 when he lost his seat to William Brace (see above). As a politician, he was extremely well-mannered and courteous. He served as High Sheriff for County Kilkenny in 1914 and commandant of the Lines of Communication in 1915. He was also one of the directors of the Great Western Railway Co. In June 1926 he succeeded his cousin Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin (see Supplement below) as Earl of Dunraven. He also became a well-liked and popular character in South Wales. He was a member of the Court of Governors of the National Museum, and was president of the 1940 Bridgend National Eisteddfod. Wyndham-Quin published a number of works including The Yeomanry Cavalry of Gloucester and Monmouth ( 1898 ), Sir Charles Tyler, G.C.B., Admiral of the White (1912), The Foxhound in County Limerick ( 1919 ) and A History of Dunraven Castle (1926 ).

A rare ebonised oak and pine `longcase` lantern clock case, Late 17th century. The hood with ogee moulded cornice above moulded rectangular door with external iron strap hinges, brass drop handle and moulded 9 by 7 inch aperture, the sides with simple rectangular doors with conforming hinges and handles, the trunk with ogee throat moulding above slender dual moulded panel inset door with three further external iron strap hinges (one replaced) and another brass drop handle, the structure continuing to from the base with brace applied below the trunk door and on later skirt, 193cm (76ins) high. Original `longcase` cases for lantern clocks are very rare, mainly due to the fact that lantern clocks were predominantly designed to hang from the wall. The construction of the current lot (often termed `pencil case`) with its slender trunk continuing to the floor reflects 17th century practice as early 18th century examples tended to resemble contemporary longcase clock cases more closely by incorporating a more developed hood and a wider section to form a plinth at the base. The mixed use of pine and oak in the current lot confirms that it was designed to take a painted finish (in this case ebonised). The simple hood side doors and external iron strap hinges are again perhaps 17th century features. Two related cases which are dated between 1660 and 1680 are illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 370-1.
