A pair of silver mounted 'Dragon of Wantley' table lighters. Walker & Hall, Sheffield, 1932. Realistically modelled as dragons with twisted antelope horn bodies, each embossed to the chest with the words 'Ye Dragon of Wantley' and designed with wicks protruding from mouths and snuffers on chains, an arrow form lighting rod to the chest of one dragon, approx. 53.2cm long, 15cm high (2)Note: Please note that this lot is subject to CITES regulations (Appendix III). Please check your country's import regulations before bidding. It is the buyer's responsibility to obtain any relevant export licences. Footnotes: The Dragon of Wantley is a legend about a huge and terrible bat-winged dragon that was said to inhabit Wharncliffe Crags, near Sheffield in South Yorkshire. The legend was recounted in a comic ballad in 1685 and later made into an opera by Henry Carey in 1787. It tells the story of a dragon which terrorised villages, devouring trees, buildings and people before being slayed by a comic, inebriated knight in a bespoke suit of Sheffield armour. The knight, More of More Hall, kills the dragon by delivering a kick up its ‘arse gut’; the only vulnerable spot on its scaly body.Some consider the ballad to be nothing more than a flippant twist on the standard ‘George & the Dragon’ tale, intended to satirise medieval romance. However, the South Yorkshire historian, David Hey has argued that the ballad probably had its origins in the 1590s, in litigation between local people and their landlord Sir Richard Wortley. The litigation concerned tithes and enclosures –common sources of conflict in Elizabethan times – and he believed Sir Richard Wortley (d.1603) to be the prototype for the allegorical dragon. In real life, he argued, it was deer, rather than dragons, which ‘ate up men’.These table lighters are thought to have military associations (each dragon rests a front foot on a grenade) and may have been used in officers’ mess halls.Condition Report: The lighters are in good overall condition. Heavy tarnish to the silver mounts. Some general scratching and nicking commensurate with age. Hallmarks clear. One dragon is missing the arrow-shaped lighting rod to its chest. Antelope horns in good condition with only some small scratches, minor losses and marks noted. Rear legs to one dragon slightly wobbly - screws possibly a little loose. The other dragon is steady on feet. Some discolouration and solder noted to silver in places (difficult to assess due to heavy tarnish). Some small flecks of gilt paint noted to one dragon. Both heads unscrew to reveal cavities for wicks. Overall a very nice pair of table lighters. Further images available to download via this link: https://we.tl/t-ns33FYfZbm

Registration No: CL 8930 Frame No: 34-2023 MOT: ExemptReputed to have had one ‘doctor owner’ for many yearsThe sidecar appears structurally sound and in good repairAn ‘oily rag’ Vintage CombinationSidecar detached for ease of transport The 1920s saw the famous Model 'H' began to be updated and this gradually saw the introduction of the chain drive, a three-speed gearbox of Triumph design and a multi-plate clutch with a shock absorber mounted on an extension to the gearbox main shaft. This feature was called a spring drive and hence the name SD was adopted for the new 550cc model. Little is known of the history of the machine, however, it is reputed to have had one ‘doctor owner’ for many years and with the 'CL' prefix registration indicating an original registration in Norfolk, there is a potential ‘research opportunity’ for the new owner! An older restoration, that appears to be complete and unmolested, 'CL 8930' has had little use in recent years, although reported to have been started recently it will require a thorough check over before use. Of note, it is fitted with a rare and comparatively early electric lighting system complete with mag dyno. The sidecar appears structurally sound and in good repair and will be removed for transport to the sale and loosely attached at sale, enabling straightforward transport post sale. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an ‘oily rag’ Vintage Combination. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875
Registration No: BOT 779C Frame No: A50B7530 MOT: ExemptA genuine BSA Lighting ClubmanThere are large number of invoices for parts purchased etc.Offered with a current V5C,Dating Certificate from the BSA Owner's ClubThe BSA Lightning Clubman was a 650cc British motorcycle made by BSA at their factory in Birmingham between 1964 and 1965. Finished in Gold and Black, the Lightning Clubman is now a highly sought-after classic motorcycle, thanks to the very limited production run of just 200. Replicas are often created by enthusiasts from the BSA Lightning. This genuine 1965 BSA Lightning Clubman has had just three previous owners from new. Most of the history is known from new. Sold by W.M Snell, in Alton on the 11th May 1965 the BSA was kept by the first keeper until 1969 when it was sold to Mr Brady (higher purchase agreement on file), the BSA being kept and used by Mr Brady until it was sold to a Mr Rushton in 2014. He then set about carrying out a full restoration on the machine, so the Clubman was completely stripped and overhauled to a very high standard using some SRM components. It was completed in 2015 and went back to Snells in Alton where it was supplied originally, albeit now a Ducati dealership. The Clubman was sold again to the late vendor in 2023, due to Mr Ruston's passing. There is a wonderful folder full of paperwork including old pictures from back in the day. On file are lots of receipts for parts and work carried out and a current V5C. Being offered at 'no reserve', some recommissioning will be required before putting it back on the road.

Registration No: OG 3711 Frame No: A1304 MOT: ExemptEntered from a private collection of rare and unusual British motorcyclesAmong a small number of Matchless Silver Arrows known to have survivedSubject to an older restoration and previously used on various Vintage RunsIntroduced in 1929, the innovative Matchless Silver Arrow was designed by two-time Isle of Man TT winner Charlie Collier (whose family also owned the marque). Displacing 400cc, its sidevalve engine featured a narrow 18-degree ‘Vee’ between the two cylinders which permitted the use of a single piece head. The rear suspension utilised a cantilever arrangement that was not too dissimilar to the one employed by Vincent HRD, while its linked brakes aped Rudge Four practice. Available in Standard or De Luxe guises, the latter incurred a hefty £6 supplement but came with an instrument panel and electric lighting. More expensive than many similarly sized V-Twins, the Silver Arrow was also priced too closely to Matchless’s four-cylinder Silver Hawk. Reportedly well restored prior to joining the late vendor’s collection of rare and unusual British motorcycles, ‘OG 3711’ is further understood to have been (a) enjoyed on many Vintage Runs and (b) displayed at several Steam Fairs thereafter. Kept on static display in recent years, the Matchless will require recommissioning prior to use. The accompanying old-style V5 Registration Document should hopefully make things easier for a new owner should they wish to apply for a valid V5C.

Registration No: FWL 307 Frame No: MVH 228 MOT: ExemptHas been carefully maintained, supported by the paperwork fileOxford registered in December 1937Desirable 500cc specificationThe Excelsior company could trace its history back to 1874 as a manufacturer of ordinary bicycles and were one of Britain's pioneer motorcycle manufacturers building their first motorcycle in 1896. Historically they had always been involved in motorcycle competition securing numerous successes at Brooklands and winning the 1929 Lightweight TT. For 1933 the company introduced a new machine for competition use featuring a twin high cam single-cylinder engine with a radial four-valve head and twin carburettors built specially for the company by Blackburne. Dubbed the Mechanical Marvel it won the 1933 TT but quickly gained a reputation for being hard to keep in tune and was dropped at the end of the 1934 season to be replaced by a machine that secured Excelsior's reputation. The new model, named the Manxman, was initially available in 246cc and 346cc guises sharing a common stroke with a 496cc version being added to the range for the 1936 season. The Manxman's single overhead cam, single-cylinder engine employed dry sump lubrication and was mechanically straightforward and robust. For the first season's production both the 250cc and 350cc models were offered with full road equipment. However, by the time that the 500cc class version joined the range, dedicated racing versions were being offered alongside the road legal variants. The 1937 season 250cc and 350cc versions benefited from Excelsior's competition activities, adopting new short-stroke engine dimensions as used by the works machines in addition to an improved lubrication system. The 500cc version was joined by a "super sports" variant fitted with a bronze head, close-ratio gears and a competition mag-dyno plus quickly detachable lighting system. Little changed for 1938 but for 1939 the range adopted hairpin valve springs and in the case of the racing variants the gearbox was mounted directly to the crankcase with power being taken from the crankshaft sprocket to the gearbox by a duplex primary drive.Oxford registered 'FWL 307' first saw the road in December 1937 and is a comparatively rare ‘500’ model in full road-going trim, complete with lighting set. The Manxman was well known as a serious racing machine as well as a sporting road-going mount and well capable of giving the Nortons and Velos of the day a good run. In restored condition and reported to be in good running order the vendor advises that 'FWL' performs well and has been carefully maintained, a fact supported by the paperwork file with various restoration receipts, a purchase invoice, as well as service and parts books, various Excelsior publications in addition to the current V5C Registration Document and buff logbook dating back to 1952. This presents as an excellent opportunity to acquire a good looking pre-war sporting motorcycle with all important racing credentials, 'FWL' is presented in very good order throughout and made additionally attractive by its 500cc specification.

Cartier: A Magnificent Very Light Pink 8.62 Carat Diamond Necklace the modified marquise mixed cut diamond in a simple white six claw setting, detachable from a pendant mount potentially allowing varied use, both signed Cartier and numbered to the reverse, pendant mount to a trace link chain necklace length 42.8cm Provenance: From a private collection, gifted approximately 25 years ago. The necklace is accompanied by a Colored (sic) Diamond Report from the Gemological Institute of America, GIA, report number 2235473592, dated January 28, 2025, stating the natural diamond weighs 8.62 carat, clarity VVS1, color (sic) very light pink. Pink diamonds are exceptionally rare. Historically, they have largely been discovered in India, South Africa, Tanzania, and Borneo, amongst other places. Some estimates suggest that as few as 1 in 10,000 gem quality diamonds produced worldwide show any noticeable colour. Of that small number, a similar percentage (approximately 0.01%) have a pink tone. In more recent times (the latter part of the 20th century into the early 21st century) the most prolific producer of pink diamonds in the world was the Argyle mine in Australia. Only 1 in 90,000 diamonds mined there tended to be of gem quality pink colour. Furthermore, Argyle diamonds tend to be in the lower clarity range, unlike this example. How coloured diamonds are formed varies depending upon the colour. Some diamonds obtain their colour from plastic deformation. This is caused by dislocations in the diamond structure, which happens when the diamond is deep within the Earth, under great pressure, and subject to very high temperatures, when atoms are more mobile. The word plastic indicates that this deformation is permanent. This structural anomaly allows free bonds to react with light, and cause absorption in the blue end of the light spectrum, which can create a brown colour. In pink and red diamonds, the phenomenon is not yet fully understood, and it is possible that the aforementioned plastic deformation occurs in combination with another impurity, or defect, to create these incredibly rare colours. Please note viewing for this lot is strictly by appointment. Please contact Jewellery Specialist Jessica Fall to make an appointment on 01969 623780. The necklace is in good condition. It fastens with a bolt ring catch. The diamond is detachable from the reverse of the mount potentially allowing for varied use. By repute, there was originally a sapphire, diamond and pearl drop which formed part of the piece, which has previously been sold. The reverse bears the Cartier signature, stamped '750' and numbered '750624Z'. Once the diamond is detached from the chain the reverse of the mount is also signed Cartier, stamped '750' and numbered '750624'. The pink hue varies under different lighting conditions making it more visible at certain angles, possibly due to the strong orange fluorescence. Gross weight 7.6 grams. CR made 07.02.25.
