American Renaissance "Medallion" Pattern Sterling Silver Coffee and Tea Service, c. 1860, John R. Wendt for Ball, Black & Co., New York, wc. 1851-1876, marked "BALL, BLACK & CO/ NEW YORK/ 216/ ENGLISH STERLING"; incl. coffee pot, teapot, sugar, creamer and waste bowl, each cover with Spartan helmet finial, pyriform body with oval medallion framed by Neo-Grec chasing, handsome period monogram on reverse, beaded handle surmounted by Renaissance bust, coffee pot h. 10 3/8 in., total wt. 97.25 troy ozs. Provenance: Descended in the Family of William Galt Bullock (1815-1896) of Lynchburg, VA and Jackson, MS. Note: John R. Wendt, who produced some of the finest silver of his day, had a special relationship with Ball, Black & Co., much like that of John Chandler Moore with Tiffany & Co. Wendt did not use a maker's mark. Wendt is thought to be the originator of die-stamped "Medallion" flatware: the 1862 U.S. design patent 1580 was issued in his name. The Wendt flatware features variations in the medallion portraits, as also seen on this coffee and tea service. Ref.: Soeffing, D. Albert. Silver Medallion Flatware. pgs. 12-13, 76-78 and 98-99.

1934 Aston Martin 1.5 Litre 12/50 Long Chassis Tourer- Recently repainted in dark blue and retrimmed with burgundy leather- Delivered new as a saloon, it is understood to have worn touring coachwork since the 1960s- Competed in the 1938 Scottish Rally, detailed history fileOne of very few examples produced on the long-wheelbase Standard chassis, 'G3/297/L' was originally bodied as a saloon and finished in black / maroon with black leather. The accompanying chassis card shows the first owner as one E C Peacock Esq of Castleford. Two further owners are listed, the most recent being W G Paddon (1946), while the AMOC Register records the car as participating in the 1938 International Scottish Rally driven by Christopher Angell. Angell modified the car with 'helmet' front wings and twin outside exhaust pipes, and repainted it white.An old-style continuation logbook lists Roy French as owner in 1968, followed by Richard Loveys, from 1971. By then it had been re-bodied as a tourer, as evidenced by reference to a 1967 advertisement in accompanying correspondence. Some restoration work had been done by Roy French, including the interior; nevertheless, it was decided to strip the car down to the chassis and rebuild it. Various specialists, principally Morntane Engineering, carried out the works, which were completed in 1979. The car was now painted white with green interior, re-trimmed later in tan leather.Richard and Sandra Loveys used the car extensively over the next 35 years, as recorded in its lengthy entry in the AMOC Register. As well as AMOC events, the Aston took part in the two-day Norwich Union Classic Run on numerous occasions, and in 2005 formed part of the St George's Day parade at Windsor in front of HM The Queen. The Loveys' last entry is for the year 2013 when the car attended no fewer than seven events.In 2016 the car was repainted in dark blue and trimmed with burgundy leather. A new hood, tonneau and sidescreens were also fitted. Offered with detailed history file and Swansea V5C.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

The Bulova accutron evokes an important stage of watch making history. Developed in the 1960's as an alternative to the lever movement, Bulova pioneered the Accutron with its tuning fork movement. This used the tuning fork instead of a balance for the timekeeping element. This was the forerunner of the quartz movement we all know today. This Bulova is a very rare sports model with Helmet style case and inner rotating bezel. The dial is a very attractive blue colour and features a day and date window. The bracelet is original Bulova with singular large links that taper to the clasp. A very important part in the watchmaking story that can be enjoyed and worn daily.
