Lot 5095
Adolf Hitler - lange schwarze Hose Feine schwarze Gabardine, vorne zwei eingeschnittene Taschen, die linke ohne Taschensack, die rechte mit einem großen, hellbraunen, ledernen Taschensack, rückseitig zwei Gesäßtaschen mit Klappen, von denen die rechte ebenfalls im gleichen Leder ausgeführt ist, Bundweitenversteller, die dunklen Knöpfe am Bund bis auf einen bezeichnet "Herm. Scherrer München", der Bundhaken mit Hersteller "Kronen Haken", im Tuch Monogramm des Stoffherstellers "G R G", der Bund mit hellem cremefarbenen, seidenartigem Tuch gefüttert. Bundweite in der vorgefundenen Bundweiteneinstellung 96 cm, Gesamtlänge 115 cm, Länge der Hosenbeine bis zum Schritt 80 cm. In der rechten ledernen Hosentasche soll Hitler seine Walther PPK getragen haben, die linke, jetzt fehlende, sollte durch Hitlers Kammerdiener Heinz Linge vergrößert werden, was aber infolge der Wirren des Kriegsendes unterblieb. Hermann Scherrer war ein in München seit 1886 alteingesessenes Modehaus, das sehr beliebt bei der wohlhabenderen Münchner Bevölkerung war und sich 1907 ein aufwendiges Werbeplakat vom bekannten Künstler Ludwig Hohlwein gestalten ließ: "Hermann Scherrer Breechesmaker - Sporting-Tailor - Neuhauser Str. 32". Dazu Herkunftsbestätigung Heinz Linge 1971 masch.geschr. und händisch signiert. Die ursprünglich vorhandenen Bestätigungsschreiben sind nicht mehr vorhanden: handschriftlich, dito 1972 mit zusätzlicher Bestätigung durch Martha Bornholdt, dem ehemaligen Zimmermädchen Hitlers, dito in Englisch 1972, Bestätigung William R. McClure an Ben E. Swearingen 1982, vier Polaroid-Fotos der Hose mit Unterschriften von Heinz Linge oder Martha Bornholdt, großes Hoffmann-Foto von Hitler und Linge mit rs. Bestätigung Linges in Englisch "...and I confirm that the black pair of trousers which are in your possession are those which the Fuehrer has been wearing. Heinz Linge.", schließlich ein Farbfoto der Hose mit Stempel "William McClure, Pontiac, Michigan, USA" und handschriftlicher Bemerkung "Adolf Hitler trousers purchased from Heinz Linge. Certif. by Linge." Abgebildet und beschrieben in John K. Lattimer, Hitler and the Nazi Leaders - A Unique Insight into Evil, S. 47, Fig. 29, 30. Sehr interessantes geschichtliches Objekt. Hitler trug insbesondere in den Kriegsjahren nahezu ausschließlich diesen Hosentyp zum feldgrauen Uniformrock. Interessant die lederne rechte Hosentasche für Hitlers PPK 7,65 mm, in der Gesäßtasche trug er angeblich die kleinere PPK 6,35 mm. Hitler soll ein trainierter und in jeder Position sicherer Pistolenschütze gewesen sein, sein Begleitkommando nannte ihn einen "Zwölfer-Schützen", auf dessen kaltblütige Reaktion im Attentatsfall jederzeit Verlass sei. Henry Picker, Hitlers Tischgespräche im Führerhauptquartier, 23.3.1942.Provenienz: Dr. W.A. Luz, Antiquitätenhändler, Berlin.Robert Abels, New York. Colonel Edward A. Schaefer, Arlington, Virginia. Ted Lenkel, New Jersey. Ben E. Swearingen, Lewisville, Texas.Sammlung John K. Lattimer.Hermann Historica Auktion "Sammlung John K. Lattimer" am 18.06.2016, Los 9059. Adolf Hitler - a pair of long black trousers Adolf Hitler - a pair of long black trousersFine black gabardine, in front two cut-in pockets, the left without pocket sack, the right with a large, light brown leather pocket sack, two back pockets with flaps, of which the rightmost is likewise furbished in leather, waist size adjuster, with one exception the dark waist buttons marked "Herm. Scherrer München", the waist clasp with maker "Kronen Haken", the cloth with maker "G R G", the waist lined with light cream-coloured silklike cloth, waist width adjustment 96 cm, length 115 cm, length of trousers legs to instep 80 cm. In the right leather pocket Hitler was said to carry his Walther PPK, the left, now absent, was supposed to be enlarged by Hitler's valet Heinz Linge, but this did not happen due to the turmoil at the end of the war. Hermann Scherrer was a long-established Munich fashion house from 1886, very popular with the wealthier citizens, and in 1907 had a lavish advertising poster made by the famous artist Ludwig Hohlwein: "Hermann Scherrer Breechesmaker - Sporting-Tailor - Neuhauser Str. 32". Included is a typed and handwritten certificate of origin from Heinz Linge in 1971. The following original confirmation are no longer available: a corresponding 1972 statement from Martha Bornholdt, Hitler's former chambermaid, also in English from 1972, and a 1982 statement from William R. McClure to Ben E. Swearingen as well as four Polaroid photos of the trousers with signatures of Heinz Linge or Martha Bornholdt, a large Hoffmann photo of Hitler and Linge with a reverse statement of Linge in English "...and I confirm that the black pair of trousers which are in your possession are those which the Fuehrer has been wearing. Heinz Linge.", lastly a colour photo of the pair of trousers with stamping "William McClure, Pontiac, Michigan, USA" and a handwritten note "Adolf Hitler trousers purchased from Heinz Linge. Certif. by Linge." Pictured and described in John K. Lattimer, Hitler and the Nazi Leaders - A Unique Insight into Evil, p. 47, Fig. 29, 30. A very interesting historical object. Especially in wartime, Hitler wore this type of trousers almost exclusively with the field grey uniform coat. Also of interest is the right leather pocket sack for Hitler's PPK 7.65 mm, and reportedly he carried the smaller PPK 6.35 mm in the back pocket. Hitler was a trained and sure marksman in any stance. His personal guard nicknamed him "Zwölfer-Schütze", whose coldblooded reaction could be relied on in case of an assassination attempt (Henry Picker, Hitler's Table Talk in the Führer Headquarter, 23 March 1942).Provenance: Dr. W.A. Luz, antique dealer, Berlin.Robert Abels, New York. Colonel Edward A. Schaefer, Arlington, Virginia. Ted Lenkel, New Jersey. Ben E. Swearingen, Lewisville, Texas.Collection John K. Lattimer.

In 1754, possibly in an attempt to escape the pressure (and scandal) of London theatrical life Garrick employed John and Robert Adam to remodel Hampton House, Richmond, at the time known as Garrick’s Villa, for which this plate, part of a large garniture, was probably made A plate, from the same service was sold Sotheby’s, R.

J. C. Wall Collection, circa 1935 and thence by decent until sold Christie’s 8 July 1998, Lot 904 Exhibited: Formerly on loan to Aston Hall, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, following Mr Wall’s death in 1955 Literature: See The Connoisseur, June 1935, pp.329-333, for an article by Capt. A Sutherland-Graeme, entitled ‘Pewter Rose-Water Dishes’ A comparable rosewater bowl, again with enamel boss of the arms of James I, sold Christie’s, The Little Collection', 1 May 2007, Lot 63 (£16,800). The maker was incorrectly attributed to John Rebate, Edinburgh, instead of James Riddoch, (PS8155) The authenticity of some enamelled boss dishes has been questioned. Doubts over originality have principally applied to ’stepped’ booge examples, but concerns have rarely been conclusive. See Journal of the Pewter Society, Autumn 2014, Vol. 40. As to be expected, the enamelled bosses were made as independent medallions and soldered on to dishes. It is therefore relatively easy to conjecture whether this was done at the time of the dishes manufacture or at a later date.

Lot 22
An impressively large Charles II pewter multiple reeded and hammered all-over charger, circa 1680 Having indistinct hallmarks to rim, opposed by ownership triad ‘R’ over ‘R E’, and worn hallmarks to rear of rim, diameter 60.5cm The first three hallmarks, in order, appear to be a lion passant, a crowned lion face and a fly. The touchmarks also have traces of palm leaves. Therefore, William Fly (fl.1676-1694), (PS53) may be a possible maker, although the last hallmark may not read ‘W F’

Barkin, ‘Wriggle Work Decoration on British & European Pewter 1600-1880’ (2002), p. 76. See also ‘ The Worshipful Company of Pewterers of London Supplementary Catalogue of Pewterware, 1979’, items S3/310 & S3/311. S3/310, illustrated p. 48, is particularly similar to this Lot. In an article written by R. F. Michaelis, for ’The Antique Collector’ entitled ‘Wrigglework Decoration on Pewter’, October 1963, pp.198-199, item S3/310 is referred to as having the maker’s mark ‘CR’ in a lozenge, (PS8167). It is also noted the wine cup was excavated from Strutton Ground, Westminster, in 1925, the former site of Stourton House, an early 17th century women and children's' hospital, built by Lady Anne Dacre, sister of Thomas Sackville, 1st Baron Buckhurst
Lot 506
A set of 19th century bronze, iron, timber and leather dray or team bells, English With four bells, each cast with the makers initials ‘RW’, mounted on a timber belfry, covered in hide and secured by brass studs, supported above the withers of a horse by two tall iron rods which slotted into a pair of staples mounted in the hames, the bells of different size and therefore different ring tones, height 56cm The initials ‘R W’ may refer to Robert Wells II, Aldbourne, Wiltshire. The foundry ceased production in 1825 Dray or team bells were used by working horses, often in groups (teams) to let other road users know of their approach. For a comparable example see the British Museum Collection, London, acc. no. OA.11126 Literature: P. Bears, ‘Horse Brasses’ (1982), pp. 105-110
Lot 82
An exceptionally rare Charles I pewter and enamel 'rosewater bowl', or alms bowl, English or Scottish, but probably London, circa 1640 Having a plain rim and deep booge, centred by a raised circular moulding into which is set a brass boss, enamelled in black, blue, red and white with the Royal Arms of Charles I of England, with the cypher ‘C’ ‘R’ and the Garter, unidentified touchmark to rear of rim, diameter 32cm Provenance: Former A. J. C .Wall Collection, circa 1935 and thence by decent until sold Christie’s 8 July 1998, Lot 905 Exhibited: Formerly on loan to Aston Hall, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery following Mr Wall’s death in 1955 Literature: See Journal of the pewter Society, Autumn 1982, Vol. 3, No. 4; spring 2008, Vol. 28, pp. 25-28; Spring 2015, p. 18-19. For three further examples, all from the reign of Charles I, see the Victoria & Albert Museum Collection, London, acc. nos. M. 32-1923; M.31-1945 & M.32-1945. A dish similar to M.32-1945 was exhibited at Clifford’s Inn, London, 1908 and described as a being from a set of six supplied to Charles I whilst at York during the English Civil War. The authenticity of some enamelled boss dishes has been questioned. Doubts over originality have principally applied to ’stepped’ booge examples, but concerns have rarely been conclusive. See Journal of the Pewter Society, Autumn 2014, Vol. 40. As to be expected the enamelled bosses were made as independent medallions and soldered on to dishes. It is therefore relatively easy to conjecture whether this was done at the time of the dishes manufacture or at a later date. See previous Lot
