TWAIN MARK: (1835-1910) Samuel Langhorne Clemens. American writer and humourist. A fine, long A.L.S., Samuel, eight pages, 8vo, 'Study' [Hartford, Connecticut], n.d. ('Tuesday. P.M.', October 1880), to his wife, Olivia. Twain commences his letter in German, stating that he arrived at 7.15pm and continuing to inform his wife of the preparations being made at their house, 'Georg hat alles gethan wie du hast es befordert. Die halle-Teppiche sind aufgehoben, die Thuren von das FrauenZimmer unde deine Schlaf-Zimmer sind geschlusselt, die Mobel sind.....weggenommen. O nein, Ich habe nicht die Warheit gesprochen: er hat nicht das Tuch vor das Sideboard fest genagelt. - Also - eferydings else ist all und ganz gut gemacht' (Translation: 'George did everything as you requested. The hall carpets are lifted, the doors of the women's room and your bedroom are locked, the furniture is……removed. Oh no, I wasn't telling the truth: he didn't nail the cloth in front of the sideboard - Also - eferydings else is all very well done'), completing the remainder of the letter in English, writing, in part, 'I found Mr. Beals hard at work in the rain, with his decorations. With a ladder he had strung flags around our bedroom balcony & thence around to the porte cochere, which was elaborately flagged - thence all the flags of all nations were suspended from a line which stretched past the green house to the limit of our ground. Against each of the two trees on the mound half-way down to our gate stands a knight in complete armour. Piles of still bundled flags clutter up the ombra (to be put up) also gaudy shields of various shapes (arms of this & other countries); also some huge glittering arches & things, done in gold & silver paper, containing mottoes in big letters. I broke Mr. Beal's heart by persistently & inflexibly annulling & forbidding the biggest & gorgeousest of the arches - it had on it, in all the fines of the rainbow, "The Home of Mark Twain" in letters as big as your head. O, we're going to be decorated sufficient, don't you worry about that, Madam. At least I infer so, from what I have seen of Mr. Beals's hand & what he holds in reserve. I don't know but he is really going to decorate us too much. However, I'm letting him go on…..But wasn't it lucky that I arrived in time to bust up that Mark Twain business? I'm in the study…..& I've got a cheerful wood fire & four gas burners going…..It would be perfect if you were here to help me enjoy it, sweetheart….I hope you are reading & not half as lonesome as you were expecting to be' and concluding by referring to an important principle in the play of the cards during Bridge, 'I've been puzzling over it, and - but you better ask Whitmore, because I want to be certain about it - is it always second hand low, even when you haven't got a high card? - & if you do, what do you infer from it? Or do you infer at all, in that case? It being your partners turn to infer, likely. I wish I had brought the book along; several of those things are not clear to me'. Twain signs off the letter in an affectionate manner, 'Acres of love to you, my best & dearest, & love also to the kids, including Jean', and in a postscript returns to the decoration of their home, 'P.S. I'm going to get Mr. Beals to change that to God Bless Our Home. He said he would have to have a new motto; so that will do first rate for a novelty. It is to go over the front gate'. A letter of excellent content providing a superb glimpse of Mark Twain in his intimacy. VGOlivia Langdon Clemens (1845-1904) Wife of Samuel Langhorne Clemens from 1870. Livy, as she was known, assisted her husband with the editing of his books, articles and lectures and Twain once wrote of her "I am as proud of her brain as her beauty". The couple had three daughters, including Jean who had been born in July 1880.The extensive decorations to their home which Twain makes reference to in the present letter were in preparation of the visit of former United States President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) to Hartford on 16th October 1880. Grant was seeking the Republican presidential nomination for a third term and upon his train arriving in Hartford he found that 'the city was thronged with visitors…..and the streets were lined with decorations, not only along the line of march of the procession, but elsewhere'. Twain gave a welcoming address to Grant in which the writer declared 'Your country loves you. Your country is proud of you. Your country is grateful to you. Her applauses which have been thundering in your ears all these weeks and months, will never cease while the flag you saved continues to wave. Your country stands ready from this day forth to testify her measureless love and pride and gratitude toward you in every conceivable inexpensive way. Welcome to Hartford, great soldier, honoured statesman, unselfish citizen'.

CARTER HOWARD: (1874-1939) English archaeologist and Egyptologist who discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923. A.L.S., with his initials HC, one page, 8vo, Prince's Gate Court, London, 4th July 1931, to the Secretary of the National Art Collections Fund. Carter writes, in part, 'Would you be so kind as to give to bearer, my chauffeur, the two pieces of Egyptian sculpture', and identifying both, one being the 'head of Ramesses the Great'. Rare. One very small, minor tear and rust stain to the upper edge, otherwise VG Carter acted as a part-time dealer in Egyptian antiquities for both collectors and museums and the source of a number of items in his personal collection is shrouded in controversy. Over a dozen pieces he owned were identified after Carter's death as having been taken by the Egyptologist from Tutankhamun's tomb without authorisation.

Previously in the Wertheimer Collection. Thomas Tompion has often been referred to as the 'father of English clock and watchmaking'. When considering the legacy of his work and influence on subsequent generations, such a compliment is justly deserved. Born in Ickwell, Suffolk in 1639 Thomas Tompion appears to have developed an affinity for metalworking from his father, also named Thomas, who worked as a blacksmith. By 1670 Tompion had moved to London and was working in the clock and watchmaking trade. Although there is no record of his apprenticeship or whether he received any formal training prior to moving to London, he quickly became established and obtained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in late 1671. His early clocks demonstrate a close working relationship with the Fromanteel, East and Knibb workshops. Around this time Tompion became friendly with eminent mathematicians and scientists such as Robert Hooke and Jonas Moore - perhaps the most progressive and inventive minds of the day. Such associations lead to Royal commissions, firstly from Charles II for whom Tompion is known to have made one of the earliest balance-spring watches in 1676 and later William III who ordered numerous clocks to furnish his various palaces throughout his reign. As well as being an extremely talented artisan Tompion was also commercially minded, cleverly introducing serial numbering for his watches and clocks from around 1681/2. This, as well as maintaining a high degree of refinement in both the design and construction of his clocks and watches, ensured the highest level of exclusivity for clients purchasing from him. In around 1701 Thomas Tompion took a former apprentice, Edward Banger, into partnership. Banger was originally apprenticed to Thomas Ashby in 1687 but was transferred over to Tompion and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1695. He was clearly a talented maker (when considering the few examples signed by Banger alone) however a serious problem between him and his former master caused the partnership to come to an abrupt end in 1707-8 for reasons unknown. On Banger's departure Tompion reverted to working alone until he found confidence in George Graham who had been engaged as a journeyman for Tompion since 1696. Graham's character had already been given the seal of approval by Tompion who allowed him to marry his niece, Elizabeth, in 1704; however it still would be a few years before Tompion would take Graham into partnership which he eventually did in 1711. Thomas Tompion died in November 1713 leaving the business to George Graham who maintained the same exacting standards and became famous in his own right with notable achievements including the development of the deadbeat escapement for pendulum clocks and the cylinder escapement for watches. Of Tompion's known surviving work as recorded by Jeremy Evans in Evans, Jeremy, Carter, Jonathan and Wright, Ben THOMAS TOMPION, 300 YEARS only twenty-one clock-watches are noted. Three of these are signed by Tompion in partnership with Edward Banger and of the remaining eighteen only around four retain their original dials and cases. An almost identical movement, The Bridgeman Tompion Clock-watch (numbered 73 and dating to 1696), is illustrated by Evans, Carter and Wright on page 58. Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean fully working condition having being recently conserved with following work done (as per the watchmaker's worksheet):Movement overhauled, cleaned, lubricated; case and dial cleaned.Replacement locking lever spring and screw made and fitted using existing crew and steady pin holes.New mainspring fitted.New strike spring fitted.Various screws renewed with hand-made replacements.Fusee pivot upper bushing re-bushed, wear in strike train addressed.Central bell-mounting boss repaired and fitted with new securing screw.Cracked blade to the locking gate renewed with a hand-made replacement.All the above work has been executed to the highest standard hence with any replaced screws matching the originals in shape and quality and repairs very sensitively executed. The dial enamel has a slight crescent-shaped crack to the edge above the X numeral otherwise is free from visible faults. The inner case is in fine original condition but with overall noticeable thinning to the gilding. The outer case is in good original condition with only minor scuffs to the leather covering and some rubbing to the gilding.Watch has a winding key included. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GERMAN RENAISSANCE LARGE VERGE FUSEE HOUR STRIKING PRE-HAIRSPRING CLOCK-WATCH OR 'COACH WATCH'INITIALLED M.Z. POSSIBLY FOR MARTIN ZOLLER, SOUTH GERMANY, SECOND QUARTER OF THE 17th CENTURYThe full plate movement with four baluster column pillars pinned through the backplate, the fusee going train with plain stop-iron block and verge escapement regulated by two-arm steel balance now sprung and with regulation slide adjustment to the backplate, the locking plate controlled strike train with standing barrel, foliate engraved and pierced gilt brass detent gate and sounding via a hammer positioned beneath the spring barrel on a bell fitted to the interior of the case, the backplate with asymmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock decorated with tulip and other blooms issuing from a sculpted trefoil-shaped foot, set beside a countwheel with rosette engraved centre and numbered divisions, mainspring set-up ratchet and engraved initials M. Z., now with a later simple 4 inch slightly convex brass Arabic numeral dial with stylised cruciform hour markers and simple steel hand, the case hinged at the edge of the dial and secured by a hinged clasp, the interior fitted with a bell and the rear extensively pierced and engraved with scrolling flowering foliage around a central chrysanthemum bloom, the integral walls with twin conforming pierced bands divided by panels decorated with further flowerheads.The pillar plate 9.8cm (3.875ins) diameter; the case 10.8cm (4.25ins) diameter, 5cm (2ins) deep. Martin Zoller is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Augsburg 1590-1633. The design and layout of the movement of the current lot is typical of central European examples made during the first half of the 17th century by which time the basic design had become relatively standardised and remained essentially unchanged for the next 100 years or so; the inherent portability of such timepieces no doubt contributed to timepieces of essentially the same format and exhibiting similar decoration being made right across Europe including London. Indeed, a slightly earlier clockwatch by Jacques Bulke, London, (which shares the same basic layout of the present lot) was sold at Sotheby's, London THE GEORGE DANIELS HOROLOGICAL COLLECTION 6th November 2012 (lot 38) for £21,000. This example was the usual smaller size and, being slightly earlier, was contained in a 'tambour' type case with the pierced side walls being vertical and made separately from the convex rear panel. The form of one-piece slightly rounded case, as used for the current lot, was introduced around 1620 and became standard for verge watches throughout their production. The distinctive engraved and pierced scrolling foliate backcock of the current lot can be very closely compared to that used on a vertical table clock movement by Hanns Buschmann, Augsburg, (circa 1620) which was sold at Patrizzi and Company, Milan, sale of PRE-PENDULUM EUROPEAN RENAISSANCE CLOCKS, SINGLE OWNER COLLECTION 24th May 2009 (lot 65). The strong similarity between these two balance cocks would suggest that they were made/finished in the same workshop, most likely a specialist 'finisher' to whom the work was outsourced. The sculpted trefoil-shaped foot to the cock is unusual and harks back to earlier examples with simpler sculpted steel balance cocks.The relatively large size of the current timepiece places it amongst a rare group of travelling timepiece which have been traditionally called 'coach watches'. Being too large to carry about the person such timepieces would have most likely been 'placed' either within lodgings whilst travelling or even onboard a ship. Although the original dial has been lost the rest of the present lot appears to have survived intact and free from significant alteration. Condition Report: The movement is essentially complete and survives in its original configuration albeit it with 'service' replacements to the trains and will run/beat when wound. The going train retains original flanged barrel, fusee and chain; the second, contrate and escape wheels have been re-pinioned and the escape wheel is a replacement. The contrate appears to have hand-cut teeth so are probably original. The escape wheel pivot potance has been repaired (contrate end). The strike train is also operational however will require adjustment/setting-up/synchronising. All wheels above the second wheel have been re-pinioned and the locking wheel is probably a replacement; the fly is definitely non-original. The countwheel detent has been repaired, the countwheel itself appears original. The backplate exhibits some pivot-closing marks and re-bushing to the fusee pivot as well as other re-bushing to pivots further down the train. The flat rim balance has significant age so could be original; the balance spring is a later addition and a regulation arm has been fitted annotated by 'dot' engraving 'L' and 'R' to the backplate. The balance cock is original but is now fitted with a pin to anchor the hairspring near the tip. The fusee spring set-up ratchet and pawl are probably replacements; the original sculpted steel locking spring is present but appears incomplete. Adjacent to the strike train winding square are two holes most likely from stopwork which is no longer present. Overall the mechanism is dirty/tarnished by does retain traces of original gilding. As catalogued the dial has been replaced. The hand is also later. The our wheel is hand-cut and has age so may be original. We believe the case and dial plate/ring to be original and are both in good original condition with no losses. The dial plate has three additional holes drilled for fitting a dial and the case has some slight shallow denting, the finish has been polished in the past hence gilding has been rubbed-off and the surface is now a tarnished/discoloured. The bell applied to the interior of the case appears original, is free from cracks and rings well. There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A superb Great War ‘Western Front’ posthumous D.C.M. group of four awarded to Private C. Ponder, 2nd Battalion, Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, for his gallantry in rescuing a wounded officer at St. Eloi on 15 February 1915. Killed in action later on the same day, Ponder’s D.C.M. was the Battalion’s first gallantry award of the Great War: reputedly the original recommendation, made by Lieutenant E. H. Carkeet-James, the wounded officer in question, was for the Victoria Cross Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R. (8959 Pte. C. Ponder. 2/D.C.L.I.); 1914-15 Star (8959 Pte. C. Ponder. D. of Corn: L.I.); British War and Victory Medals (8959 Pte. C. Ponder. D. of Corn. L.I.) extremely fine (4) £1,800-£2,200 --- D.C.M. London Gazette 1 April 1915: ‘For conspicuous gallantry near St Eloi on 15th February 1915, when he rushed forward at great risk under heavy fire and dragged back to his trench a seriously wounded Officer.’ Charles Ponder was born in Stoke in 1889 and attested for the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry at Warwick on 20 April 1908. Posted to the 2nd Battalion, he served with them during the Great War on the Western Front from 21 December 1914, and by February 1915 the Battalion were in the trenches near St Eloi. This was a period of extremely cold weather and the troops spent only two days in the line with one in support and two in reserve. Mud and water caused many problems and the enemy was active with rifle grenades and shell fire. There was also the ever present threat of snipers. On 14 February 1915, during a period out of line, the 2nd Battalion D.C.L.I. was ordered forward to counter attack after the Germans had launched a strong assault on the trenches occupied by the Leinsters. The assault was to take place at 4:00 a.m. the following morning, on 15 February 1915. The attack went forward after a short Artillery bombardment, and was a qualified success, although heavy casualties were sustained, amongst them Lieutenant E. H. Carkeet-James, who was leading ‘C’ Company, and was seriously wounded. Realising that he was hit, Carkeet-James turned and attempted to return to the trench. Seeing that his officer was hit, Ponder leapt from the trench and rushed forward under heavy fire, being heard to shout ‘Come on Jimmy Sir, you can’t stay there’. The officer’s reply was ‘Go back, or you’ll get hit’, to which Ponder replied ‘I’m not going back without you Sir’, and he managed to drag his wounded officer to safety. Despite the severity of his wound (the lower bone in his left arm was shattered and the artery severed, and amputation was ultimately necessary), Carkeet-James then remained in the trench, being the only surviving officer, and refused to be moved even when four bearers and a stretcher came. It was only after he had been evacuated to hospital that he recommend Ponder for, if contemporary accounts are correct, the ‘Victoria Cross.’ However, tragically, events were to overtake the recommendation. For the rest of 15 February 1915, the 2nd Battalion, D.C.L.I. came under repeated enemy sniper fire, and further casualties were sustained. Amongst these were Private Ponder, who was killed in action. He was 26 years old. He has no known grave, and is commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Belgium. Posthumously awarded the D.C.M. for rescuing the wounded Lieutenant Carkeet-James, in what was the Battalion’s first attack upon enemy trenches, his was the first gallantry award the Battalion received during the Great War. For his conduct that day Carkeet-James was awarded the Military Cross, and later commanded the 2nd Battalion D.C.L.I. during the 1930s. Sold with copied research, including a photographic image of the recipient, and copies of the Battalion War Diary for the action. Note: Under the statutes in force at the time, the Distinguished Conduct Medal could not be awarded posthumously, although in cases of exceptional gallantry which just fell short of the requirement for the Victoria Cross this was often overlooked, especially if it could be claimed (as in this case) that the act of gallantry had finished prior to the recipient’s death.
