Mechi 30cm wide John Joseph Mechi (1802-1880), specialised in dressing cases and shaving apparatus from premises in Leadenhall Street. When revenues for his 'Magic Razor Strop' dropped, following the increasing fashion for facial hair, he pursued another successful business in lamps for use outside shop-windows. Simultaneously he developed a model farm at Tiptree Heath, Essex and published his popular 'How To Farm Profitably' in 1857. Elected an alderman of the city in 1858, "The failure of the Unity Joint Stock Bank in 1866, of which he was a governor, and an unfortunate connection with the Unity Fire and General Life Assurance Office, caused him such heavy losses that, instead of becoming lord mayor, he was in August 1866 obliged to resign his aldermanic gown. Many bad seasons followed at Tiptree farm, particularly that of 1879, and at last, worn out with diabetes and broken-hearted, his affairs were put in liquidation on 14 December 1880. He died at Tiptree Hall on 26 December 1880." (Dictionary of National Biography)

Rupert Annual 1963, published by The Daily Express, illustrations by Bestall, very fine condition with Magic Paintings untouched, complete spine and clean pages.

15th-16th century AD. A D-section silver hoop with raised projections to the shoulders, rectangular bezel with inscribed magic square 'SATOR/AREPO/TENET/OPERA/ROTAS'. 7.84 grams, 27mm overall, 19.86mm internal diameter (approximate size British T 1/2 USA 10 Europe 23.33 Japan 21) (1"). Very fine condition. A large wearable size.Property of a gentleman; acquired in the 1990s. The origins of this palindrome word square seem to be in the early Roman Empire with the earliest example being found at Pompeii; whilst other examples are known from Dura Europos, Rome, Cirencester and the Roman fort at Manchester, and other parts of the Roman Empire. The text may be read top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, left-to-right, or right-to-left; and it may be rotated 180 degrees and still be read in all those ways. The meaning of the words has been translated as 'The farmer Arepo turns the wheels'; there has been much speculation to the meaning of the words with the most popular theory being that it is early Christian. By re-positioning the letters around the central letter N, a Greek cross can be made that reads Pater Noster both vertically and horizontally. The remaining letters – two each of A and O – can be taken to represent the concept of Alpha and Omega, a reference in Christianity to the omnipresence of God. Thus the square might have been used as a covert symbol for early Christians to express their presence to each other. However, the earliest dated examples pre-date Christianity, and other theories are that it relates to the mystery cults, with the word Arepo being a form of the name of the Egyptian god Harpocrates. It is found in medieval contexts being used in folk magic for various purposes, including putting out fires (the spell is TO EXTINGUISH FIRE WITHOUT WATER in John George Hohman's Long Lost Friend), removing jinxes and fevers, to protect cattle from witchcraft, and against fatigue when traveling. It is sometimes claimed it must be written upon a certain material, or else with a certain type of ink to achieve its magical effect. 

Early 1st millennium BC.A banded lapis lazuli tapering column pierced for suspension; design of a pair of opposed human-headed winged bulls with scorpion tail to the back, on a baseline with crescent above. Cf. Collon, D. First Impressions. Cylinder Seals in the Ancient Near East, London, 2005 items 354 360 for type. 28 grams, 42mm (1 3/4"). Very fine condition. Rare.Property of a Connecticut, USA, collector; formerly in a New York, USA, collection; acquired from S. Khayat before 1970.These figures are known as Girtablullu, or 'scorpion-people' in Akkadian. The creature is first seen in the art of the Third Dynasty of Ur and of the Akkadian period, but was common only in Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian times. The type survived into the art of the Hellenistic period. As attendants of Shamash, the sun-god, the scorpion-men were also, by the Neo-Assyrian Period, powerful protectors against demons. Wooden figurines of them are prescribed, along with figurines of other beneficent demons and monsters, in Neo-Assyrian instructions for rituals of protective magic, and an actual example has been found in a storeroom at the seventh century BC Urartian city of Teishebaini. In the Babylonian Epic of Creation, the scorpion-man is counted as one of Tiamat's creatures, while in the Epic of Gilgamesh, a terrifying scorpion-man and scorpion-woman guard the gate of Mount Mashu, where the sun rises. 

19th century AD.A silver amulet in the form of a sprig of rue with three branches further subdividing to two stalks on each; at the end of each stalk is a symbol comprising: a hand making the mano fico sign, and hand holding a dagger, a snake and bird, the crescent moon with face, a heart, key, rose and cockerel; with three lobed suspension ring. Cf. Berry, V. Neapolitan Charms Against the Evil Eye, in Folklore, Vol. 79 no. 4 (Winter 1968), pp.250-56. 11 grams, 70mm (2 3/4"). Very fine condition.English private collection; acquired in the 1970s. The cimaruta is a very old charm rooted in the lore of the Old Religion of Italy. Like many of the lasting ancient symbols and beliefs the cimaruta design eventually took on symbolic elements of Catholicism. One example of a Christian addition to the design is the appearance of the sacred heart of Jesus. The word cimaruta literally means 'a sprig of rue', a herb that is highly featured in Italian magic and lore.The branch of the rue is divided into three stems symbolising the triformis goddess Diana. Rue is one of the sacred herbs of this goddess. Various charms appear on the rue design and each one bears its own meaning. The primary symbols are the moon, serpent, and key.These represent the goddess in her triple form as Hecate (the key), Diana (the moon) and Proserpina (the serpent"). This ancient grouping of the goddess appears in the ancient writings of such figures as Lucan. Ovid and Horace also feature the goddess Diana in their writings related to witchcraft. These amulets were mostly produced from the late 18th century up to the present day in Naples, South Italy, where belief in the Evil Eye has remained strong. [No Reserve]
