SIR WALTER SCOTT: A LEITH BANKING COMPANY CHEQUE SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR For the sum of £50, dated Abbotsford 2nd May 1825, the recipient's name, Peter Matheson, inscribed verso, care of George Craig Esq. of Galashiels, housed in a modern gilt frame measuring approx. 30cm x 17cm externally. Peter Matheson (1771-1854) - Sir Walter Scott's coachman and trusted companion for just shy of three decades. Scott referred to Matheson as Automedon, the name of Achilles' charioteer in Greek mythology. He was also brother-in-law to Tom Purdie, Scott's forester and great friend. It would be fair to assume that this cheque is for Matheson's wages, likely paid annually, as £50 was a rather large sum of money in 1825. For context, in 1829, Purdie received a quarterly wage of £11. George Craig (1784 - 1843) - Baron Baillie of Galashiels and factor to John Scott, eighth Laird of Gala. Craig served as legal and financial agent for clients including Sir Walter Scott and fellow author James Hogg. Sir Walter Scott, a Scottish novelist, poet and historian whose works had an immense impact throughout Europe and America, was the worlds first international best selling author. It is significant that this cheque was written in 1825, the year of the UK Financial crash. As partner in the collapsing Bannatyne publishing company, Scott was liable to debts of £130,000. Rather than declare himself bankrupt and avoid his debtors he sought to write himself out of debt and his novels became global blockbusters. Note: second and third images show the reverse of the cheque, removed from frame. Our thanks to Claudia Bolling of the Abbotsford Trust for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.

JOCK "TIGER" SHAW OF RANGERS F.C. - A 9ct GOLD GLASGOW JUNIOR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION CHARITY CUP WINNER'S MEDAL Likely by J. McMenamin Ltd., Birmingham, 1931, weighing 16.72g inclusive of suspension ring, engraved verso "Benburb F.C., Won by J. Shaw, 1931-32". Born in Annathill, North Lanarkshire on 29th November 1912, John Shaw began his football career with Govan-based Benburb F.C., winning the medal here offered. After a five-year spell with Airdrieonians, he transferred to Rangers, whom he would later captain. Retiring in 1953, Shaw, who'd earned the moniker "Tiger" through his tough playing style, also held the distinction of captaining the first Scottish club team to lift "the Treble" of League, League Cup and Scottish Cup. This was not the only first accomplished by Shaw over the course of his playing career. Representing Scotland against Switzerland in 1946, Shaw played alongside his brother Davie: the first time in the history of the national side that siblings had been on the field at the same time. It was not until 2005 that this would recur. Condition Report:Available upon request
