An early 20th Century fancy marquetry inlaid and brass mounted mantle clock by Walker & Hall, bearing a brass plaque with presentation engraving "Dumfries Agricultural Society Horse Shoeing Competition 4th August 1926 Senior Class - First Prize Presented by the Scottish Iron & Steel Co Limited, Waverley Iron Works, Coatbridge, won by", 26 cm, (replacement quartz movement)
A WW2 RAF Pathfinder propeller boss clock, and other WW1/ WW2 items related to William Edward Meredith, and his identically named son. To include: an impressive clock fashioned from the propeller of a wartime plane, fitted on to a stepped base. White dial with smaller subsidiary dial, and the RAF Pathfinder badge mounted to the front. No apparent makers marks or dates to the propeller boss. Plus, a WW1 medal pair, named to 376020 Pte W.E.Meredith of the 8th London Regiment, and a Duke & Duchess of Portland white metal medallion, a George VI Imperial Service Medal with case of issue, named to William Edward Meredith (and complete with award scroll). Also, a WW2 era back painted glass RAF photograph. Notes: the WW1 medal pair are Pte Meredith’s full entitlement. He joined the conflict late in the war, entering service on April 14th 1918, through to November 11th 1918. His official records state that he was attached to the Royal Engineers Postal Section. It seems likely that the Imperial Service Medal was earned by W.E.Meredith Senior, possibly on account of long service in the postal industry. Condition: the laminated wood to the clock has fractures in places, but nevertheless remains solid. The clock was wound while in situ here, and has been working, but this is by no means a guarantee. The WW1 pair have toning and contact wear, and the suspension ring on the Victory medal is out of round. The Imperial Service Medal remains in good condition, as does the case. The back painted photograph frame also remains in good condition.
2 WW2 German Kriegsmarine flags, by repute taken from the German Cruiser Prinz Eugen in May 1945 in Copenhagen. The larger example is of standard Kriegsmarine pattern, screen printed cotton with hemmed edges and the hoisting loops still present. Marked ‘Kr Fl 150 x 205’ and ‘Textilindustrie G.Bukiet Litzmannstadt’. The smaller example is of the standard party style with a screen printed red field and white roundel to the centre. The flag also retains its hosting rope and loop. Marked ‘Gosch 50 x 85’ with the national eagle and letter M. It is also maker marked, but this is indistinct. Despite the printed size, the larger flag actually measures 230 x 135cm. The smaller flag does measure 50 x 80cm. Notes: acquired in May 1945 by George Pickering R.N, who was stationed in Copenhagen at the time the German cruiser Prinz Eugen was surrendered to the British Royal Navy. It’s believed that George was an intelligence officer, and a fluent German speaker, and this allowed him access to the ship during its surrender. For further details and history, please see the Prinz Eugen bulkhead clock lot, acquired by George at the same time. Condition: both flags have old moth damage from storage, with the smaller flag having more significant damage. The larger example is more instant, with the moth holes near the bottom end. The flags are in otherwise clean condition.
A WW2 German Kriegsmarine bulkhead clock, by repute taken from the Prinz Eugen after being surrendered to the British Royal Navy in May 1945. The clock is of standard Kriegsmarine pattern, made in heavy brass with a stepped casing. 3 bulkhead lugs still present for attached to the structure of the boat. The dial is accessed by means of key that opens the glass front, and the same key is used to wind the mechanism. The metal dial has the usual deeply engraved German eagle with the letter M, plus the number 15691 and letter N, which would indicate that this was a North Sea clock. The back panel is stamped with the number 16491, and there is a stamped number 91 stamped to the latch on the glass front, which indicates that all parts match and are original. Notes: the clock has been in the possession of its current owner for over 20 years. It was acquired from the deceased estate of a Mrs Eleanor Pickering, the widow of George Pickering (1911-1986). Prior to WW2, George and Eleanor had operated a pharmacy called Bradderings Chemists on Mill Street, Clowne, Chesterfield. The vendors mother was working for George and Eleanor, and when George joined the Royal Navy during WW2, she moved into the apartment above the pharmacy as company for Eleanor. At the end of WW2, George was stationed in Copenhagen when the Prinz Eugen was surrendered to the Royal Navy. He was a fluent German speaker, and it’s believed that he worked in Naval Intelligence, and hence he had access to the Prinz Eugen when it was surrendered to British forces. George apparently ‘liberated’ the clock from the bridge of the ship, and two Kriegsmarine flags (offered in a separate lot). In the post war era, the clock found its way back to the U.K, and for many years was positioned on the wall of the pharmacy opposite the counter. The vendor had befriended George and Eleanor from a very young age, and hence the clock found its way to its current owner after their passing. Size: approximately 20cm across including hinge and catch. Condition: generally good. Good age related colour and patina to the brass. The key lock to the glass front panel operates as it should, but it’s possible that this would have originally had a rubbed seal to the recess in the lid. The dial is in good condition, with clear stamps and numbers. The rim of the brass case at the back is slightly pushed in a couple of areas, but this is not noticeable when the clock is wall mounted. The clock mechanism is untested and may require attention. it appears to be fully wound, and the second hand can be encouraged to tick when gently pushed. It’s likely that its mechanism needs a clean and overhaul. The original key is included with the clock.

Marked Bradley & Hubbard M.F.G. to base. Small loose hook to top. Dimensions: 5.25"L xv 5.5"W x 13"HManufacturer: Bradley & HubbardCondition: Age related wear. Missing arms; crack to face.
