Programme (season issue No.20) for the postponed match at Old Trafford two days after the Munich disaster between Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers 8th February 1958the token is still intact. No open tears, two paper fractures to the bottom of front cover that may have been professionally restored. They are visible on the lot image.On Saturday 8th February 1958 Manchester United were scheduled to play Wolverhampton Wanderers in a First Division fixture. The match was postponed after the tragic events of the Munich Air Disaster on 6th February. The programme had gone into production and even carried a brief report of United’s 3-3 draw in Belgrade and the club’s progression to the semi-final of the European Cup. After the terrible news broke the printers C. Nicholls were ordered to cease production and destroy any programmes that had come off the presses. Perhaps inevitably a very small number of the postponed programme have survived – thought to be either printer’s proofs or souvenirs kept by printing staff. The scarcity factor and the deep significance of the occasion makes Issue No.20 one of the most sought after and valuable football programmes of the post-war era...

Newton Heath had progressed to the final with victories over West Manchester and Bury. Fitzsimmons scored four goals during the competition. 1892-93 was also Newton Heath's first season in the Football League Division One. They avoided relegation by beating Small Heath [Birmingham] in a play-off 'Test Match'. Fitzsimmons, having joined the club in November, scored 5 League goals during the campaign. Thomas Fitzsimmons was a Scot born at Annbank in south Ayrshire 21st October 1870. He was an outside-right and was one of several players on trial at Celtic who were seeking a replacement for Celtic's first ever goalscorer Neil McCallum. He was till a trialist when he made his League debut v Rangers at Ibrox on 24th September 1892. As such, this makes Fitzsimmons the only player in Celtic history to debut for the club in an 'Old Firm' fixture. This proved to be his only appearance for the Bhoys, although some records would suggest he played in a Glasgow Cup game before his League debut v Pollokshaws Athletic 17th September. A couple of months later he transferred to Newton Heath making his debut v Aston Villa 19th November at North Road, scoring in the 2-0 win. In all he made 30 competitive starts and scored 6 goals. In June 1894 Tommy Fitzsimmons returned to Scotland to play for his local team Annbank FC. Thomas's brother David also played for Newton Heath.

The oldest piece of art ever discovered in Shropshire. Megaliths and other stones that have been enigmatically decorated with pecked cup-and-ring and other marks are well known in the British Isles and in Ireland, as well as in some areas of mainland Europe. They appear where the local geology provides a source of material or where erratic boulders, left behind when the glaciers retreated at the ending of the last Ice Age, are found. Examples have been discovered in Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Cumbria in northern England but this appears to be the first example ever to have been found in the Shropshire area; others are known from Scotland and Ireland. The purpose or meaning of these markings remains uncertain but it has been suggested that they could have been placed on boundary markers, on stones used in chamber tombs or have been connected with sacred sites. The design of a central cup depression surrounded by four concentric pecked rings appears quite frequently, at sites spread across Britain and northern Europe; some are on pillars or standing stones, others on very large in-situ boulders; many show very considerable weathering from being exposed on the surface for millennia. The base of this piece appears to be less eroded and patinated than seen to the other surfaces so it has been suggested that this could be the apex of a standing stone monolith. It has been stated by Nash that the closest parallel to the Whixall Stone is seen with the Llwydiarth Esgob Stone, now sited away from its original context, in a private garden.

3rd-1st century BC. A clear glass skyphos with bulbous carinated body, integral ring handles formed between projecting plates, the upper with a forked terminal, the lower rounded, and shallow arched foot. Cf. The Hermitage Collection, Ancient Glass in the Hermitage Collection, 1997, no.37; cf. The British Museum, Masterpieces of Glass, 1968, no.37; cf. Christie's, New York, 6th December 2007, lot 92, for a similar example which sold for 97,000 USD; see The Metropolitan Museum, accession numbers 17.194.888 and 81.10.94, for similar examples. 242 grams, 18cm (7"). Property of a London gentleman; formerly with Sheppard & Cooper Ltd, London, UK, 1992. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10427-168745. This vessel was produced using casting techniques, it was then lathe-cut and polished. The skyphos was the most valuable vessel in the Greek and early Roman eras, attested by their representation on the first Jewish coins, the silver shekels minted during the First Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire in 68 AD. A limited number of these vessels can be found in museums world-wide. Although a number of fragmentary or restored examples can be found on the art market, complete examples such as the one offered here are comparatively rare. They were manufactured in the late Hellenistic period in Anatolia, or in the workshops of the Greek Bosporus kingdom. Fair condition, repaired.

From a central London collection; previously in a European collection formed 1979-1989. From the beginning of the 11th century, chatelaine chains were accessories to the belts of both women and men. These consisted of two or three rods with loops at the ends, and were sometimes wrapped in bronze wire. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
Lot 614
18th century AD. An oval-shaped gilt silver mount with a representation of nimbate Christ, embossed in repoussé technique, enthroned, the right hand raised in the blessing posture, the left hand holding a Gospel; at the side of his head the Greek letters 'IC' (Iesus) 'XC' (Christos), inside his halo the three letters representing the continuous divine self-existence of Christ as God (H ON = The Only One who always exists); the throne decorated with foliage ornamentation, four attachment holes to the sides. See identical throne in the Proskynitárion (Breviary) of Jerusalem, made at Vienna in 1787, in Popescu, G.A., Cristiani d'Oriente, spiritualità, arte e potere nell'Europa Post-Bizantina, Milano, 1999, cat.203. 33.3 grams, 10cm (4"). Property of a gentleman from Vienna; from his private collection formed since 1970. The mount was probably used as a cover for a reliquary, having the form of a pyxis. The employed iconography focuses on the usual representation of Christ King of Glory and Universal Judge, seated on the throne of Glory as the Lion of Judah, on the Judgement Day. At the same time the blessing hand, which unites the first three fingers in the sign of the Trinity, and lowers the last two fingers to represent the humanity of Christ, is the symbol of divine mercy.

Lot 69
1st century BC-2nd century AD. A larger than life-size marble head of god Apollo, depicted in the style commonly known as Apollo Giustiniani type, the head slightly inclined towards the right and long hair gathered into a complex coiffure, tied into a topknot over the forehead with strands of hair falling symmetrically onto the forehead and temples, as well as on the neck, the locks dressed around the head leaving the earlobes uncovered, and pulled into a sumptuous chignon behind the neck; the face with fleshy, round cheeks with high cheekbones, almond-shaped eyes with thick half-closed lids, straight nose and slightly open mouth with plump lips; mounted on a custom-made display stand. See Brunn, H., Griechische Götterideale in Ihren Formen Erläutert, München, 1893, pp. 84-95; Furtwängler, A., Meisterwerke der griechischen Plastik: Kunstgeschichtliche Untersuchungen, Leipzig, 1893, pp.338-339; Simon, E.G., Bauschenß, LIMC II, 1984, no.75, pl.307, pp.388-89, s.v.Apollon/Apollo; Smith, A.

III, London, 1904, cat.1547, pp.15-16; Pollitt, J.J., Art in the Hellenistic Age, Cambridge, 1986, pp.47-58; Smith, R. R. R., Hellenistic Sculpture, London, pp.240-242. 48.1 kg, 46cm including stand (18 1/4"). From an important English collection; formerly in a private Belgian collection, since the 1990s; accompanied by an academic expertise by Diana Mroczek; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10736-177468. Right after the intense spoliation of Greece by the victorious Rome, the demand for copies of Hellenistic art was growing, especially for decorating newly constructed buildings across the Empire. The character of this sculpture suggests that it was created for a building of leisure character, such as theatre or baths, where the eponymous copy was discovered. The head of Apollo presents the type Giustiniani, best known from the sculpture displayed in the British Museum that is a nearly identical copy of this sculpture. It was suggested that the type has been created in the late 4th century BC, after Alexander the Great. The sculpture bears archaic features, most likely applied by the Roman copyist. They are visible in the sharp-edged features and general composition of the sculpture, one which Furtwängler associates with the sculptor Kresilas, active in the 5th century Athens. The sculpture bears resemble to the Lysyppian School, particularly its portraits of Alexander, or the head of Helios from Rhodes. This iconographic type takes its name from the Giustiniani family of Rome, who first owned the copy held in the British Museum. The type, frequently compared with Apollo Belvedere, shows a contrasting expression. Where Belvedere presents the god in the active pose of a noble warrior, the Giustiniani type is focused on the artistic, more ethereal aspect of the god of music and poetry. The sculpture is the copy of a lost bronze original made possibly as early as in the 5th century BC. [A video of this lot can be viewed on the Timeline Auctions website] Fine condition.
Lot 88
1st-2nd century AD. A bronze lead-filled statuette of a Roman Genius, personal tutelary or priest, dressed in a tunic and a large toga, the slightly turned head capite velato with detailed facial features; his right hand extended forwards and holding a patera, the left arm covered by the cloak and holding a part of a handle for an incense container or other cult object, wearing small boots, calcei; accompanied by a wooden stand and housed in a leatherette case. See similar statuette in Sautel, J., Vaison dans l’Antiquite’, I-III Avignon, 1926-1927, II, no.2878, pl.XXIII,1; Rolland, H., Bronzes Antiques De Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, items 178 & 460; for the discussion on Roman costume see Houston, M.G., Ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine Costume and Decoration, London, 1977. 452 grams total, 14cm including stand (5 1/2"). From the collection of a Kensington gentleman; ex Mansour Gallery, Davies Street, London, 2013; formerly in an old private Japanese collection; accompanied by an academic report by Dr. Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10759-177410. The statuette shows the fully developed toga of the Imperial period, comprising a single semicircular piece of cloth about eighteen and a half feet long by seven feet deep at its centre. This type is seen on the Emperor Titus (Houston, 1977, fig.99), and worn with the capite velato on the Ara Pacis, (Houston, 1977, fig.102"). The ancients believed that that the college of the Pontifices was instituted in Rome by Numa Pompilius, the second king, the legendary organiser of the Roman national cult according to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, II, 73: 'The last branch of the ordinances of Numa related to the sacred offices allotted to those who held the higher priesthoods and the greatest power among the Romans. These, from one of the duties they perform, namely, the repairing of the wooden bridge, are in their own language called pontifices; but they have jurisdiction over the most weighty matters'. Numa has been said to have been the first Pontifex Maximus, so this function was seen as befitting the gravitas of the emperor.
