An American Big Dipper Ear Trumpet, c.1870-1880, in black painted tin plate, unsigned, 56 cm long assembled. Note: this model is known from contemporary advertisments 'The dipper is the most powerful instrument, best adapted to hear public lectures or sermons and will be found efficient where the smaller-sized ear trumpets have failed. They differ from the ordinary ear trumpet in shape and construction. The mouthpiece is closed by a perforated metal plate. The neck is at a rightangles to it and reaches clear inside, in a curved line, nearly striking the bottom. Air waves passing through the little apertures of the mouth-piece will touch the bottom which, being a form of parabola, reflects them toward a common centre. This common centre is the neck of the instrument. All of the waves being forced into this channel and conducted to the ear, will operate with increased power'

A Complete Set of Sprung Dentures in Gold & Porcelain, English false teeth, c.1850, complete upper and lower plates, upper plate, springs and fittings in 18 carat gold (acid tested 18ct+), teeth in porcelain, the lower plate of gutta-percha or possibly vulcanite, the upper plate in gold with gutta percha (or vulcanite) mounting for the teeth, in oriinal velvet lined wooden case covered in red Morocco leather, case 10.7cm across, gross weight of dentures 57.4 grams. Note: Gutta-percha is recorded as being used for dentures in the UK in 1847; vulcanite, developed in the early 1840's, was also adopted for dentures around this time. The design and structure of these dentures is much the same as the Duke of Wellington's sprung false teeth in gold and ivory, on display at Apsley House, but here using porcelain rather than human teeth, and gutta-percha providing greater comfort than carved ivory.The porcelain teeth are very realistically modelled and in very good condition. The gutta percha has been repaired around the top left incisors and canine, this appears to be an old repair when the teeth were in use. There is a further later repair here where a small crack has been repaired with a white filler (see online images, this could of course be coloured in). There is variation in the colour of the gutta percha, similar to the other examples I have seen. The gold is in good condition, including the springs, which have no kinks and still function as they would have originally. The case shows signs of wear at corners and edges, with minor losses to the leather.

CHARLES NEATE (b. October 1821 - d. 29th May, 1911 in his ninetieth year) was one of the oldest members of The Institution of civil engineers, having been connected with it for 64 years. He studied at King's College School and King's College, London, and in Europe, obtaining his practical training with Messrs. Rendel and Beardmore.After serving for several years as assistant Resident Engineer on the Great Grimsby Dockworks, he went out to Brazil in 1852 as a Civil Engineer under the Imperial Brazilian Government. In that capacity, he designed and constructed quay walls and other works at Rio de Janeiro, and reported upon the harbours of Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul and on the works of the Dom Pedro II Railway.On returning to England in 1867, he set up a consulting practice in Westminster, the microscope objectives carry this date so presumably it was bought with the money he made while abroad.He was probably best known for the varied and extensive engineering work which he carried out or advised upon in South America, chiefly in Brazil. These projects included the Great Western of Brazil Railway, the Conde d’Eu line, the Donna Thereza Christina Railway and the Southern Brazilian Rio Grande do Sui Railway, Rio de Janeiro Flour-mills and Granaries, Nictheroy Gasworks, and Stockton Bridge, in which last work he was associated with the late Mr. Harrison Hayter, Past-President. He also prepared designs, reports and estimates for a number of schemes in Brazil, Cuba, Demerara, South Africa, Naples, Portugal, Spain and Ireland.Mr. Neate was elected an Associate of The Institution of civil engineers on the 2nd March, 1847, and was transferred to the class of Members on the 8th March, 1859 (ii)for a very similar microscope by Wheeler and engraved with the owners name and sold by Flints in September 2017 see:https://www.flintsauctions.com/auction/lot/lot-155---a-fine--massive-edmund-wheeler-stand-a-compound-binocular-microscope/?lot=157&so=4&st=wheeler&sto=0&au=&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=1&pp=50&pn=1&g=-1 (i) - https://microscopist.net/WheelerE.html(ii) - 1912 Institution of Civil Engineers: Obituaries
