THE SEX PISTOLS & THE BUZZCOCKS POSTER. A rare, original poster for the infamous and hugely influential second Sex Pistols concert in Manchester, on Tuesday 20th July, 1976. Measures 20 x 30". Has been affixed to board, shows tape residue where tickets (previous lots) were affixed to the poster. “This was the event that changed my life. I went really to see the local band Slaughter and the Dogs but my curiosity was piqued by pictures of the Pistols in the music magazine ‘Sounds’. So I went along and they blew my mind! S&TD were actually the support band but they produced the poster and their manager put them at the top of the bill! The other support was actually The Buzzcocks playing their first ever gig. I saw them and went out and bought ‘Spiral Scratch’ afterwards as I thought they were great. (see Lot 141). This was the second Manchester gig by the Pistols in a matter of a few weeks, the first only had about 40 people but this one had a couple of hundred. There were a lot of people there that went onto become Manchester music celebrities but I didn't know any of them back then. I think there was also loads more people at that second gig because S&TD drew a lot of gangs from Wythenshawe. Of my friends that I went with, a couple of them left before The Pistols came on ‘cos there was a massive fight with glass beer bottles flying around... it was pretty gnarly. They were amazing and I remember everything about the gig like it was yesterday; what they wore, the guitars, Steve Jones with a white Les Paul and Johnny Rotten with a mohair jumper stubbing a cigarette out on his forearm! I managed to get hold of this poster and kept it along with my ticket (and a mate’s one) getting it framed later.”

1953 TOUR DE FRANCE - A RARE 1953 TOUR DE FRANCE TECHNICAL 'TECHNIQUE ETAPES' SUPPORT CAR NO. 278 IDENTIFICATION PLAQUE of painted shaped steel construction. 1953 represented the Tour's 50th anniversary. To commemorate this fact, the Tour initiated the Points competition whose wearer would get a green jersey, the 4,479 km was raced at an average speed of 34.596 km/hr, with 119 starters and 76 classified finishers. Louison Bobet (Team Stella) won the Tour in his 6th attempt. He took the lead after a carefully planned set-piece in stage 18 which saw Bobet soar over the Izoard and ride into Briançon more than 5 minutes ahead of his nearest chaser. Louison Bobet (March 12, 1925 - March 13, 1983) was the first rider to win the Tour de France three years in succession. Not only did he win many stage races, but his list of single-day victories is also impressive. The pursuit of his dream to win a tour began in 1947, but it was generally thought that he maybe lacked the resilience needed by any Grand Tour winner. In 1953 Bobet told his team he could win the Tour if they would unite behind him and agreed to split the prizes with them should he win. In the 18th stage, with a commanding ascent of the Izoard, he fulfilled his promise and became the Yellow Jersey, a lead he held all the way to Paris. His third Tour victory in 1955 was earned while his body was covered with sores including a horribly painful saddle boil. He later said that winning the 1955 Tour shortened his career. Bobet won the 1954 World Road Championship on a difficult course in terrible weather. He flatted shortly before the end, but chased, caught and dropped Fritz Schaer to win the Rainbow Jersey. In 1954 he was unquestionably the best road racer in the world. ( 55cm Long x 27cm High)

Laura Ingalls aviatrix pioneer signed 1930 US Air Mail cover for the dedication of Muskogee Municipal Airport with local CDS postmark. Rare autograph Laura Ingalls was a highly successful female pilot of the 1930s with several unusual records to her credit. Daughter of a wealthy New York City family, Ingalls learned to fly in 1928. In 1930, she performed 344 consecutive loops, setting a women's record, and she shortly broke her own record with 930. She also did 714 barrel rolls breaking both women's and men's records. Ingalls held more U.S. transcontinental air records during the 1930s than any other woman, including a transcontinental record of 30 hours east to west and 25 hours west to east (round trip New York and Los Angeles), both in 1930. In 1935, she became the first women to fly nonstop from the east coast to the west coast and then immediately broke Amelia Earhart's nonstop transcontinental west-to-east record with a flight from Los Angeles to New York in 13 hours, 34 minutes. Her most well-known flights were made in 1934 and earned her a Harmon Trophy as the most outstanding female aviator of the year. Ingalls flew in a Lockheed Orion from Mexico to Chile, over the Andes Mountains to Rio, to Cuba and then to New York, marking the first flight over the Andes by an American woman, the first solo flight around South America in a landplane, the first flight by a woman from North America to South America, and setting a woman's distance record of 27,358 kilometres (17,000 miles). In 1936, she placed second behind Louise Thaden in the prestigious Bendix Trophy Race. Ingalls' flying career ended with questions about spying for the Germans in World War II, charges she denied. Good Condition. All autographs are genuine hand signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £4.99, EU from £6.99, Rest of World from £8.99.
