Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection c.1933 Vincent-HRD 499cc Model PRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. D705Engine no. 9005•Rare Rudge Python-engined Vincent-HRD•Initially assembled from parts circa 1973•Cosmetically restored by Ian Savage and the National Motorcycle Museum•Non-runner for display purposes onlyThe Vincent-HRD marque originated in 1928 when Philip C Vincent acquired the name, jigs, tools and patterns of the recently liquidated HRD Company. ('HRD' stood for Howard Raymond Davies, the Isle of Man TT winner who had founded the firm in 1924). Like Davies before him, Vincent relied on proprietary engines until increasing dissatisfaction with suppliers led to the creation of Vincent's own in 1934. One of the firm's suppliers was Rudge, whose proprietary engines were sold under the 'Python' brand name. According to document on file, written by the VOC's Ian Savage, its restorer, this Python-engined Vincent-HRD was built from parts by the late George Maple of Douglas, Isle of Man circa 1973 using a Vincent-HRD rear frame and swinging arm bearing bracket set from a Model P with frame number 'D705', dating from 1933. The other major components are a Series-A frame with no visible number; Series-B Brampton forks; and a Burman gearbox from a JAP-engined Vincent Model J of similar period. The engine, number '9005', appears to be a mixture of Rudge parts from the Ulster and Special models dating from 1933/34. The period 1933-1934 marked a transition in the specification of Vincent-HRD machines. From single brakes to twin brakes; to rod operated rear brakes; Terry to Dunlop saddles, etc. As the rear frame is of the earlier (cable-operated) pattern, the machine has been built to this period. The rest of the cycle parts are a mixture of pre-and post-war Vincent 'A' or 'B' items. Since acquisition the machine has benefited from further restoration by the NMM, as commemorated by the attached silver plaque.It should be noted that this motorcycle has been prepared for display purposes only and no attempt should be made to start it, as many of the engine's internal components are badly worn. The engine has been greased and oiled during assembly but not filled with oil, while the gearbox and cycle parts are greased as necessary. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. The machine is offered with correspondence; the aforementioned document (perusal recommended); and an old (1972) Isle of Man logbook.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection1936 Brough Superior 982cc SS100Registration no. VD 6582Frame no. M1/1661Engine no. BS/X 1001•Delivered new to Edinburgh•Matching frame and engine•Earliest numbered engine in a production modelLegendary superbike of motorcycling's between-the-wars 'Golden Age,' Brough Superior - 'The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles' - was synonymous with high performance, engineering excellence and quality of finish. That such a formidable reputation was forged by a motorcycle constructed almost entirely from bought-in components says much for the publicity skills of George Brough. But if ever a machine was more than the sum of its parts, it was the Brough Superior. W E Brough's machines had been innovative and well engineered, and his son's continued the family tradition but with an added ingredient - style. The very first Brough Superior MkI of 1919 featured a saddle tank - an innovation not adopted by the rest of the British industry until 1928 - and the latter's broad-nosed, wedge-profiled outline would be a hallmark of the Nottingham-built machines from then on. Always the perfectionist, Brough bought only the best available components for his bikes, reasoning that if the product was right, a lofty price tag would be no handicap. And in the 'Roaring Twenties' there were sufficient wealthy connoisseurs around to prove him right. Introduced in 1922, the JAP-powered SS80 achieved instant fame when a racing version ridden by George became the first sidevalve-engined machine to lap Brooklands at over 100mph. With the new SS80's performance threatening to put the overhead-valve MkI in the shade, it was decided to completely redesign the latter. The result was the legendary SS100. First shown to the public in 1924, the SS100 employed an entirely new 980cc JAP v-twin engine. A frame of duplex cradle type was devised for the newcomer, which soon after its launch became available with the distinctive, Harley-Davidson-influenced, Castle front fork patented by George Brough and Harold 'Oily' Karslake. And just in case prospective customers had any doubts about the SS100's performance, each machine came with a written guarantee that it had been timed at over 100mph for a quarter of a mile - a staggering achievement at a time when very few road vehicles of any sort were capable of reaching three-figure speeds. With this level of performance available in road trim, it was only to be expected that the SS100 would make an impact on the race track, particularly the ultra-fast Brooklands oval, and the exploits of Brough Superior riders - among them Le Vack, Temple, Baragwanath, Fernihough, and Pope - did much to burnish the marque's image. When Brooklands closed forever at the outbreak of WW2, Noel Pope's Brough Superior held both the sidecar and solo lap records, the latter at an average speed of 124.51mph.Brough entered the 1930s with an entirely JAP-powered range and then, after a brief absence, the SS80 reappeared in 1935 as the SS80 Special, this time with an engine built by Associated Motor Cycles. The following year the SS100 adopted an overhead-valve version of the AMC power unit, and the two models continued to use the Plumstead-made engines until production ceased in 1939. Brough Superior Club records show that this particular SS100, frame number '1042', left the factory with the following special features:Foot gear controlSeparate oil tank c/w filter and C&S capBattery on engine pin bracketDetachable carrier – not fittedSmall type curved top pannier bagsNon-valanced rear split guard – WasdellWasdell front guard – with flapAlum oil bath front chain caseTop & bottom rear chain coversAmal handlebar fittings – R & LH internal twist gripsLHS brake pedalPillion footrestsPropstandDual silencer & fishtailsAll of which serves to emphasise the essentially bespoke nature of the Brough Superior. Records show that this particular SS100, frame number 'M1/1661', was despatched to Rossleigh Ltd in Edinburgh, who were Brough Superior agents for much of Scotland. It has the lowest engine number ('1001') of all the AMC-powered production SS100s (the prototype's engine was '1000') but is actually the seventh of this model despatched from the Nottingham factory. Rossleigh's sales manager Jimmy Watson later recalled selling the Brough to first owner James Shaw of Blantyre, Lanarkshire.Issued in 1960, an old-style logbook on file records the owner at that time as Hubert Don of Newport, West Calder, followed by Jimmy Watson's firm Watson Bros (Aidrie) Ltd in 1963. There is a (copy) photograph on file depicting Jimmy Watson with the Brough. 'VD 6582' was next owner (from 1964) by William Proctor of Accrington, Lancashire followed by John Proctor at the same address. In 1974 the machine passed to L Potter of Newbury and since 1979 has belonged to the National Motorcycle Museum, where it was restored to 'show' specification. Following its lengthy period of museum display, re-commissioning and the usual safety checks are advised before returning the Brough to the road. The machine is offered with a copy of its Works Record Card and a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 570
1927 Humber 350ccRegistration no. VF 1571Frame no. 10492Engine no. 10488A firm with its roots in the Victorian bicycle industry, Humber began experimenting with powered transport in the closing years of the 19th Century, introducing its first successful motorcycle - a built-under-license P&M - in 1902 and the first all-Humber design in 1908.The vendor first saw this Humber motorcycle advertised in an auction at Shepton Mallet, Somerset in 2006. His first Vintage motorcycle, 'VF 1571' had been originally supplied by A G Sparrow of East Dereham, Norfolk, whose original transfer may be found underneath the 'flapper bracket' on the rear mudguard, and whose brass nameplate is on the front mudguard. A few black and white photographs came with the Humber, one of which depicts the original owner sitting astride the machine with his son on the pillion seat. There is another photograph taken later of the son, looking older and taller, astride the Humber.It is believed that this motorcycle has had only four owners from new. In the accompanying history file is a copy of the catalogue description when the original owner sold the Humber at a Phillips auction in March 1990. He had last taxed the Humber in 1930; it was said to have only covered 700 miles from new. During the vendor's ownership, both he and his wife have used the Humber, including two rallies in Northern Ireland (in the Mountains of Morne); a rally in the hills around Blairgowrie in Scotland; and several local runs around Norfolk. We are advised by the owner that it is a very nice motorcycle to ride and will climb 1-in-4 hills, two up, with no problem - not bad for a 1920s motorcycle. The vendor has attempted to keep the machine original and un-restored, and in usable condition. The reading on the odometer is now 1,201 miles, so it appears that the Humber has covered only 500 miles since the auction in 1990. The machine comes with a history file containing SORN paperwork; old/current V5C Registration Certificates; a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired October 2012); photocopied literature; the aforementioned period photographs; and the original Humber 3.49hp Motor Cycles Instruction Book.

Lot 630
A George II mahogany serpentine dressing chest of drawers, circa 1755, the shaped top with moulded edge, above four long graduated drawers interspersed by leaf and ball moulding, the top drawer fitted with a baize inset slide above an arrangement of compartments and lidded compartments around a hinged rectangular mirror, flanked by foliate bellflower carved canted angles, on blind fretwork shaped bracket feet, 79cm high, 100cm wide, 59cm deep Many parallels between works by the highly skilled mid-18th century cabinet maker William Gomm and this chest can be drawn. Based in Clerkenwell Close, London, Gomm's designs were heavily inspired by Thomas Chippendale's Director with combinations of gothic, rococo, and chinoiserie elements included in single items of furniture. This can be seen in the contrast between the trailing floral carved angles and the blind fretwork feet. For a desk possibly by Gomm also featuring this variety of stylistic elements see, Christie's, New York, American Collecting in the English Tradition: Property of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 27th October 2015, Lot 92 (£341,000). This format of chest demonstrates one of Gomm's most prolific designs with at least six 'Exceeding fine Serpentine Commode Dressing Tables' supplied to Lord Leigh by William Gomm & Son for Stoneleigh Park in 1763. For a record of this commission see C. Gilbert, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, p. 350. Definite similarities can also be seen in the quality of the floral foliage carving featured on this chest and an altar table by Gomm owned by the V&A museum in London but on display at Stoneleigh Abbey, Warwickshire (W.7-1990). For a related example of chest see, Sotheby's, New York, Gallison Hall: The James F. Scott Collection, 15th October 2018, Lot 273 ($10,625).Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips, splits and small losses.

Mirror plate appears original and has the expected depletion and grey spots. The small handle to the mirror is lacking leaving a small plugged hole. One of the dividers to the fitted interior has split in two.Some additional abrasion to feet. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.

'The Clockmakers of Bristol 1650-1900 as working in Bath at 2 Broad Street 1766-1812. He is also recorded by Ian White as working firstly from Broad Street then High Street from 1791/2 and Bond Street 1795-99. He also served as juror at Bath Quarter Sessions on fifteen occasions between 1786-95. Condition Report: Movement is in sound original albeit dirty condition with replacements limited to the escapewheel and pallets which appear to be 19th century (probably 'service' replacements due to wear). Dial is also dirty, discoloured and tarnished. The plate is a little bent (bows backwards at the top) and there are some light casting cracks to the surface. The seconds hand is missing and the minute hand has been repaired. The movement and dial sits on an old replacement seatboard but at the correct level in the case. The case is a perfect match for the movement and dial hence we are inclined to think that the movement, dial and case are most likely original to each other. The case is in sound original condition. The trunk door in missing its lock and there are some minor bumps, scuffs, veneer chips, light shrinkage and other faults commensurate with age. The surface is 'flat'/neglected in appearance but the colour is fairly good hence the appearance will no doubt with a good polish.Clock has pendulum, two weights and a winder but no case key.
