This is a very rare letter from St Georges FC telling A.Bostock that he is selected to play. Letter is from 1892 which was the last year before the club was disbanded. They were among the founding members of the Combination in 1888, finishing 10th out of 12, and provided the Combination with its president, Mr. H. Mitchell. The Combination disbanded after a season. They applied to become members of the Football League at the end of its first season but failed to gain membership; they received the most votes of the non-elected clubs, two behind Notts County (Sunderland were the winners who were elected membership). In 1889 they were founder members of the Football Alliance, also reaching the quarter finals of the FA Cup. The Alliance combined with the Football League in 1892 with Birmingham St. George's becoming the only member not to be accepted. Condition : Split accross folds & some marks

SEX PISTOLS - NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS - ORIGINAL UK 'SPOTS 001' LP - SEALED. The crème de la crème for any Pistols collector, a still sealed original UK green stickered 'SPOTS 001' pressing of the seminal 1977 album.

The shrink wrap is in absolutely stunning order with virtually no splits, there is an extremely small 'peel' to roughly 1cm of the shrink on the reverse.

JOY DIVISION - AN IDEAL FOR LIVING (PSS 139 UK ORIGINAL). An outragously clean original UK copy (Enigma PSS 139) of Joy Division's elusive debut release, An Ideal For Living.

The record is in sublime Ex+ condition with one or two extremely light, faint and extremely wispy markings noted under an intense light source on side 2. Very clean labels with a couple of rather light spindle markings - it is obvious that this copy has been played sparingly. The original four panel sleeve is in stunning Ex+ condition.

A final upgrade copy of the EP that 'wasn't a concept but an enigma'.

The fragile thin gatefold sleeve is in clean Ex condition with a litle 'shelfwear' where the 'spine' would usually be (the sleeve is of a home made looking design and effectively resembles a proof sleeve, so there isn't really a spine as such).

George III’s Recovery from Ill Health: a good and rare pearlware vase the baluster shaped body of acanthus leaf form on a waisted foot and rectangular base with re-entrant corners moulded with a half -length profile of the King and on the reverse a profile of King Lear depicted as Uranus with foliage in his hair, decorated in underglaze blue, brown, green and black, circa 1789, 219mm high Illustrated (commemorative commemorate) *On 15th March 1789 a service of thanksgiving was held at St Paul’s Cathedral for King’s recovery for which a number of commemoratives were produced. Most unusually this piece alludes to the King’s madness with the depiction of Shakespeare’s King Lear (who similarly went mad when disposing of his kingdom to two of his three daughters). Most likely and in the absence of any true likeness, Lear is depicted as the mythological Greek God Uranus (the planet having been discovered in 1781 by the astronomer William Hershell (for which he was appointed Court Astronomer by George III). David Garrick had played Lear (depicted with foliage on his head) in his 1756 production. Following the King’s first bout of madness there were no further meaningful productions of the play. Indeed between 1810 and 1820, when the King again lapsed into periods of insanity, the authorities banned any production of the play.
