Ephemera – travel diary the diary of Howard Beadle on his voyage around the world between September 19th 1896 and March 24th 1897 written in a neat hand in a hard backed folio book approx 81pp with a bundle of loosely inserted further pages some of which are photocopies. The diary is particularly notable for his observations in the USA – he witnesses the building work on the tomb of U S Grant for example. He then comments extensively on the celebrations on the election of President MacKinlay ‘...ladies and gentlemen all dressed out in evening dress & low necked dresses seemed to have crowed to the hall of this hotel armed with all the most objectionable sounding musical instruments to hear the result of the Presidential election... returns came in every few minutes from all over the states...about 11 o’clock there came the returns from one of the large cities. Never have I heard the like to the din after that was given out. The whole hall was raving for two or three minutes... this continued until 1 am when the gentleman who read out the results said ‘gentlemen I mean ladies & gentlemen I will keep you no longer MacKinlay is undoubtedly elected.’ The brought a blast & rattle that would far surpass the one that knocked down the wall of Jericho...’ President MacKinlay was one of the four US Presidents to be assassinated in office.

Ballater - a Scottish provincial Royal presentation plaid brooch by William Robb of Ballater, marked ROBB / BALLATER (in triangular punch), Edinburgh 1902 - 1903, of annular form with engraved panels of Celtic knot work and four Celtic bosses, inscribed to reverse `19 ERI 03` 8.7cm diameter, 3oz Notes: This plaid brooch is of the pattern worn by the Balmoral Highlanders. William Robb was commissioned on many occasions by King Edward and his mother Queen Victoria to make silver for the Royal family and also utilitarian wares for the dress uniforms of the Balmoral Highlanders. The Balmoral Highlanders were formed from the estate and household workers at Balmoral and performed ceremonial duties at the castle for state occasions and also at the local Highland gatherings etc. While the main order for uniforms from Robb was placed in 1904 earlier examples such as this do exist. The later engraved inscription to the reverse does seem to suggest that when the recipient left the estate employment he was presented with this piece. The main order placed to William Robb for Balmoral Highlanders uniform accessories in 1904 was for a complete set for twenty five men. The Highlanders had been in existence for sometime previous to this and had been in varying forms for over 30 years

A fine Victorian dress dirk mounts apparently unmarked, the handled formed as an eagles foot holding a round cut citrine in it talons, with naturalistically formed lower section about a scroll border, the steel blade inscribed for `MEYER & MORTIMER, EDINBURGH) and fine engraved to both sides, one with crest with scroll and thistle formed cartouche and scene of a gentleman in kilt fishing in a Highland landscape and to the opposing side with three gentleman on a stag hunt in landscape; the leather covered scabbard set en suite with bi knife and fork (the knife inscribed for a retailer or cutler John Sellar), the handles formed as eagles feet with citrine set within talons, the mounts and chape with highly embossed thistle designs blade 25.5cm long, overall length 38cm Heralrdry: the crest is that off DOUGLAS Notes: while etched and engraved blades for Victorian military dirks are not uncommon it is very unusual to find such engraved scenes to the blade of a civilian dirk. It is possible that the scenes denote part of the dirks history and suggest it is possible a ghillies dress dirk for a large Highland estate. It is recorded that ater Queen Victoria (and later monarchs) started the fashion to supply dress wear to estate staff some of the larger estates followed suit, this was often incarnated in official tweed and tartans for workers but in some cases went further to Highland Dress accessories.
