9th-10th century A.D. or earlier. Formed as a gold cap with rounded claws, set with polished glass gem; integral suspension loop with a later jump ring. 0.64 grams, 21 mm (3/4 in.).From a late Japanese specialist collector, 1970-2000s.This amulet was believed to offer protection against 'Elfshot'. The attack of elves was believed responsible for mysterious suffering in men and livestock. 'Elfshot' described sudden shooting pains localised to a particular area of the body, such as in rheumatism, arthritis or muscle stitches or cramps. Elves were thought to shoot darts or arrows where such pains had no obvious external cause. Belief in elfshot persisted into the 20th century in rural areas, and as proof country folk would sometimes find small arrowheads (the remains of Neolithic or Mesolithic flints, or naturally-occurring spear-shaped stones) that were believed to be the magical weapons that caused the afflictions. Belief in elfshot began in the Pagan Germanic period.

1961 Daimler SP250 'Ex-Metropolitan Police' Transmission: automaticMileage:93283In the late 1950s, the Metropolitan police had a major problem with café racer motorcyclists. Groups of youths on motorbikes would gather together at a local café, put a record on the jukebox and then race their bikes along a set course getting back to the café before the record had stopped playing. Accidents occurred and in an attempt to put a stop to the practice, the Met's proposal was to have a fast car that could actually catch the bikers. The existing fleet of Wolseley saloons was not up to the task so they looked instead at sports cars. The Daimler SP250 (Dart) was the answer! This had a 2.5 litre lightweight V8 engine and was capable of 125mph and 0-60 in 10 seconds, which for 1959 was remarkable. The Met bought 26 Darts between 1961 and 1964 and soon got them into service to be used as high-speed pursuit cars based at separate Traffic Garages situated over the London area. The results were impressive with many speeding bikers being caught and the number of fatal road accidents dropped. Unlike today, the idea then was that you see a police car and thereby slow down...no stealth tactics for these boys.Borg-Warner Model 8 three-speed automatic cars destined for police use, like the one offered here, were modified by Daimler with the fitting of a handle in the centre of the dashboard which, when pulled, locks the gearbox into second gear allowing a speed range from 0-85mph in a single gear. The gearbox normally runs in two gears only, with a 'low' ratio for manual selection if required and the slightly higher gearing resulted in an increased top speed compared to manual gearbox cars. The Metropolitan police found this to be better for town work and high-speed chases, and it was also found to be more economical, avoiding the clutch wear that a manual car would develop with usage between 18 and 24 hours a day.Traffic police in Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester, Southend and Surrey also used the SP250 for speed enforcement, as did police forces in Australia and New Zealand. After the opening of the first section of the M1 in 1959, the Bedfordshire police used the SP250 for motorway patrol prior to the arrival of the 70mph limit in 1965.This example was registered with the Metropolitan police and was fitted with the optional Borg-Warner DG automatic gearbox, Bell and Pye radio equipment, and has more recently been fitted with wire wheels and upgraded servo brakes. Supplied with the car is its original buff logbook confirming the first owner to be the Metropolitan police, records of previous ownership, press cuttings, old MoT records, sundry bills, and a current MoT valid until January 2024. Previously this Daimler has been reviewed in several articles including Police Car UK and Classic and Sports Car magazine. This Daimler is a must for any collector and offered without reserve this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.Guide price £40,000 - £60,000.
A rare collection flowerpot from the A.M. Miklashevsky Porcelain Factory, is a rectangular vase with an extension upwards, resting on four stucco legs, decorated with gold layering. The front and back surfaces of the pot are decorated with two medallions with a finely painted pastoral scene in the Western European style, as well as an image of an exotic bird sitting on a branch in the Chinoiserie style. Medallions with painting have a quadrangular shape with rounded top corners. On the side surfaces of the flowerpot are fixed stucco relief handles with rock curls and gilded layering on the surface. At the corners, the planter is decorated with embossed vertical columns imitating weaving. The upper convex edge of the pot is made in the form of a monogram of two merged letters A and M and a dot on the right. The mark is underglaze, hand-drawn, red. Russian Empire, Chernigov province, Glukhovsky district, Volokitino village. Factory A.M. Miklashevsky. 1840s. Porcelain, molding, molding, gilding, underglaze polychrome painting. Dimensions - 19.5 cm (at the top, including handles), width - 13.2 cm (at the top), height - 12.4 cm. Historical reference: The factory of porcelain products was founded in the village of Volokitno by the rich and well-born landowner A.M. Miklashevsky (1801-1895) in 1839. The owner of the factory was an admirer of Western European porcelain and invited the famous French ceramists Dart brothers to organize and manage the new enterprise. Francois Dart was a porcelain decorator - porcelain painter and model designer. At the time of the work of this master (until the middle of the 19th century), the heyday of the production of artistic porcelain at the factory falls. Porcelain from the A.M. Miklashevsky factory is distinguished, during this period, by the European level of execution of decor and forms of objects made of porcelain mass of excellent quality, and objects abounded in imitation of plant forms, an abundance of figured compositions, the use of European motifs for painting objects - pastoral and gallant-sentimental scenes , architectural landscapes, flower bouquets and birds, executed in the style of chinoiserie. During this period, the plants products successfully competed with the products of well-known European manufactories and often even with the products of the IPM. In general, the French style and the excellent quality of painting and stucco were the distinguishing features of Francois Darts products, to which the presented planter belongs. Items made at the factory of A.M. Miklashevsky adorn the collections of the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, Kuskovo, museum collections in Ukraine. They are rarely found on the antique market and have a high collectible value. Small chip on the handle. Width: 19.5cm, Height: 12.4cm, Depth: 13.2cm, Weight: 0.886kg, Condition: Good, Material: Porcelain, Hand Painted, Gilding

An original ex-Metropolitan Police Daimler Dart, a rare survivor and restored to a Concours standard. An unusual departure for a firm more noted for its stately limousines, the SP250 sports car was Daimler's final fling before its acquisition by Jaguar. Aimed at the North American market and launched in 1959, the SP250 (originally entitled Dart) employed a separate ladder-type chassis on which sat controversially-styled fibreglass coachwork manufactured by Daimler themselves. Four-wheel disc brakes were an unusual feature at the time but unquestionably the car's biggest virtue was its magnificent 2.5-litre V8 engine. An outstandingly flexible unit, the smaller of Daimler's two Edward Turner designed V8s produced 140bhp, an output good enough to propel the SP250 to a top speed of 125mph. In keeping with the demands of its intended market, automatic transmission was available as an option.In the late 1950s, the Metropolitan Police had a major problem with what were called, 'Café Racers'. Groups of youths on motorbikes would gather together at a local café, put a record on the jukebox and then race their bikes along a set course, getting back to the café before the record had stopped playing. Accidents occurred and, in an attempt to put a stop to the practice, the Met’s proposal was to have a fast car that could actually catch the bikers.

It bears Engine No. 96223, Chassis No.102820 and was fitted with the optional Borg-Warner DG. Automatic gearbox, an AT Head Calibrated Speedometer and Pye Radio equipment.The Met disposed of 550 CLU on 30th August 1967, having been driven 97,325 miles in less than five years, and it was sold on to a Mr Killamsy of 2 Winter Street, London SW11 (copy record in file). It was subsequently purchased by Claude Kearley, President of the Daimler SP250 Owners Club (2007-2009) who commenced a photo-documented restoration including engine, gearbox and drive train to Concours standards. It became our vendor's property in 2016 and has been much enjoyed ever since, taking part in all sorts of events and is a multi-award winner including second place in the 2017 East Coast Run and first Place, Sledmere 2017. It’s been an NEC exhibit three years running and was to be an entrant in Zoute Concours d’Elegance prior to the COVID lockdown.When 'Oxford Diecast' chose to model a Police SP250 for their 1/43 scale range, 550 CLU was the chosen car.Supplied with the car are its V5C and previous ownership docs, a copy of the Met Historic Fleet Disposal Records, period copy photographs of actual use when in service, press cuttings, photos of surviving drivers (at 2013), MOTs, Owners’ Manual, accessories manual and more.Offered from a significant private Collection of British motor cars, this Daimler is a must for any collector/investor and needs to be viewed to fully appreciate the finish and detail that has gone into its fastidious restoration.Obviously this immaculate Dart can be enjoyed in much the same way that we all enjoy our classic cars but, in addition, it’s regularly in demand for meets and shows and would be welcome at events run by the Daimler and Lanchester Owners Club, the Daimler Dart Owners Club, the Police Vehicle Club and naturally local County Shows and Village Fetes. If that’s what you have in mind, this rare 1960s classic could keep you busy for the rest of your days.Specification Make: DAIMLER Model: SP250 Year: 1961 Chassis Number: 102820 Registration Number: 550 CLU Transmission: Auto Engine Number: 96223 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
