A rare English ivory Teetotum gambling ball, mid 18th century, incised with numbers 1- 32 and a crown, approx. 1.9in. diameterA Teetotum or "Totum" meaning the whole is a many facetted spinning top with each side numbered. It acts in the same way as spinning dice, but if it is made true which is what the incised crown on this example denotes, there is an equal chance of any number turning up which is not the case with dice. This ivory Teetotum ball has 32 sides and the gambling game of Staking on a Teetotum is recorded in 1753 and has its origins in the early 18th century, when it was inscribed with letters and not numbers. A similar example was formerly in the John Farndon Collection.

Lot 280
A Rowland Ward Edwardian EPNS mounted trophy desk mirror, the oblong shaped bevelled mirror framed by a pair of wart hog tusks, on ball feet with easel back, inscribed Wart Hog B E Africa, 1911 P. F. H. This wart hog was shot by Patrick Francis (Frank) Hadow (1855 - 1946). Wimbledon Mens Lawn Tennis Champion and big game hunter. Hadow won the 1878 Wimbledon Championship to become the clubs 2nd champion while on holiday from his plantation in Ceylon. When asked if he would defend his title, Hadow is reported to have stated "No Sir. It's a sissy's game played with a soft ball". As he did not defend his title, he is therefore the only male champion to have never lost a set at Wimbledon. Hadow is also credited with inventing the technique of lobbing, a skill that helped him to defeat Spencer Gore in the 1878 Wimbledon Mens Final, 7-5, 6-1, 9-7. Reputedly the tusks from this trophy came from a wart hog that charged him, 31cm long. Provenance: Patrick Hadow and thence by descent.
