AMELIA EARHART INTEREST: LEICA 1 black paint finish, serial number 43793, dating to 1929-30; fitted with Leitz Elmar 1:3,5 f=50mm collapsible lens, with correct brass lens cap, along with range finder, numbered 41404, two reloadable film cassettes and film holder, and a small leather Leitz filter purse, all contained in a leather caseNote: This lot comes with an autographed card by Amelia Earhart (American 1897 - 1937) from her own personal stock. This camera was reputedly owned by Earhart's husband, George P. Putnam, and was gifted to her. Amelia Earhart found fame as the first female aviator to do a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Earhart disappeared during an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937. She vanished over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day.Note from the vendor on this lot: 'My grandfather Wullie MacDonald left Scotland for Canada in the 1920s. He worked in and around the Montreal and Toronto areas, although I have no recollection of what work he did to earn a living. According to my father he found it tough in Canada and eventually migrated south and entered into the United States where he lived and worked in New York for several years. One job he had I recall was with a New York Typewriter manufacturer, however, that company either relocated to a different state or it ceased its NY operations. At some point my grandfather either owned or worked for a cleaning company that collected laundry from hotels and private persons in New York. It was during this time that he met Amelia Earhart and her husband. My grandfather regularly collected laundry from Miss Earhart's and her husband's home in Rye NY and became friends with them and the two boys. It was on one occasion upon calling at the house to either collect laundry or possibly returning the freshly laundered linens that he spoke with Ms Earhart who had just recently in the last day or two returned from a trip from Chicago with her husband. I believe this was in 1933. It is my understanding that she did not fly herself. Miss Earhart was a keen photographer and may have studied photography either at school or at a college and she had this Leica camera which she had carried with her on her trip. Originally I believe it was her husband's camera. Ms Earhart did not like the Leica as she preferred a folding camera which she owned and used. My grandfather commented on the Leica and Ms Earhart showed it to him. She subsequently gifted it to him, and it is my understanding that Ms Earhart was a kind and generous person and this act of kindness was not out of character. Enclosed with the camera was a card signed by Ms Earhart which was autographed before my grandfather. There is a small leather purse with the camera but I believe that may have been purchased separately at a later date.'

From the Ambrose Collection; Ex Andre Constantine Dimitriadis Collection; Ex McLendon Collection, Christie’s New York, 12 June 1993, lot 191. Raised to the rank of Caesar in the West in AD 282 under his father Carus, who had been proclaimed emperor after the assassination of the emperor Probus, Carinus immediately set out on campaign against the Germanic Quadi tribes whom he met with some success. Returning to Rome in early 283, he celebrated a triumph and was proclaimed Augustus, and thus began his joint rule with his father. Meanwhile his brother Numerian, also Caesar, was on campaign with their father against the Sassanid Persians in the East. It was here that Carus died in July or August 283, but not before having made significant gains against the Sassanids under Bahram II: he had taken the capital Ctesiphon, crossed the River Tigris and was marching his troops further into Mesopotamia. Carus’ death is most likely attributable to natural causes (an unknown illness, though some sources claim it was a lightning strike), and Numerian succeeded him as Augustus unchallenged. The army however wished to return to the West, and Numerian was unable to do more than acquiesce. As the column proceeded slowly back toward Roman territory Numerian himself was taken ill and died under suspicious circumstances - the general Diocletian was proclaimed emperor by the troops and accepted the purple on a hill outside Nicomedia. Upon hearing the news, Carinus marched his army eastwards and the two met in Moesia at the Battle of the Margus River. Again, accounts differ as to the progress of the battle: some say that Carinus had the upper hand until he was assassinated by a tribune whose wife he had seduced, while others suggest that the battle was a complete victory for Diocletian and that Carinus’ army deserted him. Following the victory, both the eastern and western armies recognised Diocletian as sole emperor, and he marched unopposed on Rome. Struck in late 282 when Carinus still held the rank of Caesar, this aureus depicts him in military gear on the obverse, while the reverse type depicts the Victoriola, the cult statue of Victory standing on a globe. It symbolises the power and majesty conferred on an emperor by victory in battle, and is often shown on later reverse types being conferred on the emperor by Jupiter or another deity. Used in this context, it appears to attest to a recent military victory, perhaps Carinus’ own successes against the Germanic tribes. That this coin was struck shortly before Carinus was raised to the rank of Augustus might partly explain its relative rarity, however the Damnatio Memoriae which Diocletian wrought on Carinus after his death would also bear on the scarcity of gold coins in his name.

In outstanding condition for a plated solidus, being given away only by its low weight and an edge nick probably caused by a plough while buried. A superb example of an ancient counterfeit in gold. Such coins are extremely rare, at least in part due to the severe penalties that were imposed on those caught counterfeiting imperial gold - offenders might be condemned to the mines, crucified or given to wild beasts to be torn apart.

Kingdom of Macedon, Alexander III ‘the Great’ AR Tetradrachm. Tarsos, 327-323 BC. Lifetime issue, struck under Balakros. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin headdress / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left, holding sceptre; AΛEΞANΔPOY to right, plough in left field, Θ below throne, globe at upper right. Price 3032. 17.31g, 29mm, 12h. Near Mint State. Highly lustrous, lightly toned, well centred and struck on a very broad flan. A magnificent tetradrachm. Prior to Alexander's arrival at Tarsos there was already a well established Persian coinage produced from that city by the satrapal governors of Cilicia, whose silver staters displayed the figure of Baal, seated and holding his lotus-tipped sceptre. Indeed, the depiction of this deity is in some cases so similar to the Zeus of Alexander's imperial coinage that O. Zervos and F. de Callataÿ suggested that Alexander's tetradrachms could not have been issued until after his arrival at Tarsos – that the Baal of Tarsos was the model for his enthroned Zeus. Though shown to be an improbable notion by Price, what is certain is that the engravers working at Tarsos were immediately re-tasked to producing Alexandrine coinage without any great break in production. Balakros, son of Nikanor, was one of Alexander's somatophylakes (bodyguards) and was appointed satrap of Cilicia after the Battle of Issos in 333 BC. He enacted many new fiscal measures in Alexander's name, and served Alexander loyally until his death in circa 324 BC while leading an expedition against a revolt in Pisidia. In adulthood his three sons all served Antigonos Monophthalmos and his son Demetrios afterwards, and were honoured with dedications at the Sanctuary of Delos.
