"The Republic Still Lives" Excessively Rare 1918 Proclamation "Poblacht na h'Eireann." The Provisional Government of the Irish Republic to the People of Ireland. Irishmen and Irishwomen ... . an early reprint of the 1916 Proclamation (probably the third printing) reset in similar style to the original, with an extra line in capitals at end after the signatures: "The Irish Republic Still Lives!" There is no printer or date mentioned, approx. 30" x 20", some creasing or minor dam. but generally in good condition. (See Bouch's study, "Bibliographical Society of Ireland." vol. 5, No. 3, bottom of page 51.] The first edition of the Proclamation was printed in Liberty Hall on the Sunday before the Easter Rising in 1916, in an edition of about 1000 copies, of which about 50 at most have survived. On the anniversary of the Rising, at Easter 1917, an almost exact type facsimile was printed and distributed in Dublin, which can be distinguished from the original mainly by the mis-spelling of Eamonn Ceannt's name. The second edition is known only from one or two? surviving copies. The present document is neither the 1916 or the 1917 edition. A similar copy is described by Bouch, who concludes that it probably was printed around the time of the General Election of December 1918 (at which Sinn Fein swept the country). this seems a reasonable conclusion, since if issued later than January 1919 one would expect the final line to include some reference to the First (or Second) Dail then sitting. It is in any case an excessively rare document. Apart from the copy examined by Bouch, we are aware of only one other copy of this printing, sold in Dublin some ten years ago and now believe to be in America. To our knowledge it is the last full-size edition of Proclamation published during the 1916-1921 period. (1)
The Very Rare 1939 Irish Proclamation Hayes (Stephen), Russell (Sean), & others. The Proclamation of the Irish Republic, On the Twenty-Third Day of April in the year 1916 in the City of Dublin, seven men who were representative in spirit and outlook and purpose of the Irish Nation that had never yielded to nor accepted the British conquest, set their humble and almost unknown names to the foregoing document that has passed into history, making the names of the seven signatories immortal. Three years later (on January 21st 1919), the Republic Proclaimed in Ester Week 1916 was ratified and formally established by the elected representatives of all Ireland and a solemn declaration of Independence sent out to the Nations of the World. To combat that declaration and to prevent the Proclamation of the Republic of Ireland from becoming effective, the armed forces of the English enemy made war upon the People of this Country. They were met by the Irish Republican Army, and challenged and resisted so stubbornly that after two years of bloody warfare the English were forced to ask for a truce with a view to settlement by negotiation. The Armed Forces of England still occupy six of our Counties. Ireland is still tied, as she has been for centuries past. But the Proclamation of Easter Week and the Declaration of Independence stand and must stand forever. There is no need to re-affirm the Declaration of Irish Independence, but the hour has come for the supreme effort to make both effective. We pledge ourselves to that task. We call upon England to withdraw her armed forces, her civilian officials and institutions, and representatives of all kinds from every part of Ireland, as an essential preliminary to arrangements for peace and friendship between the two countries; and we call upon the people of all Ireland, at home and in exile, to assist us in the effort we are about to make in God's name, to compel that evacuation and to enthrone the Republic of Ireland. Signed on behalf of The Republican Government and the Army Council of Oglaigh na hEireann (Irish Republican Army) Stephen Hayes, Patrick Fleming, Peadar O'Flaherty, George Plunkett, Lawrence Rogan, Sean Russell. Printed one side only on the right side, alongside of a copy of the 1916 Proclamation, with the general title over both the tops "The Proclamation of the Irish Republic," approx. 37.5cms x 48.5cms, both top corners with small piece torn away, and a few fold creases, otherwise in v. good condition. (1) Extremely Rare.
The Knocklong Fenian & Land League Banner Co. Limerick: A magnificent and extremely rare historical Banner on green cloth (possibly silk), approx. 7' x 4'6", mounted on a carrying pole with accompanying braided rope, with the gilt words 'GOD MADE OUR / LAND A NATION,' over a painted landscape, and below the words 'A NATION IT MUST BE,' reverse inscribed with 'KNOCKLONG.' The landscape panel very well painted, includes the usual Fenian symbols, round tower, ruined church, cross, harp and sunrise. A little wear but in very good condition considering its age and size. (1) Provenance: To the present vendor from his great-grandfather by inheritance. Reputed to have been used at the Kilmallock Rising and subsequent events.
THE 1916 PROCLAMATION: THE GPO COPY POBLACHT NA H EIREANN. The Provisional Government of the IRISH REPUBLIC to the PEOPLE OF IRELAND. Irishmen and Irishwomen .. An original copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, believed to be the copy which hung in the General Post Office in Dublin during the 1916 Rising, with guaranteed provenance to Dr. James Ryan, Medical Officer to the GPO Garrison, later a Fianna Fail Minister. (1) Dimensions: 30 ins x 20 ¼ ins, length of line 18 3/8 ins, as required, with the various typographical peculiarities identified by Bouch, evidently printed in two portions, the lower portion slightly at an angle. On the usual greyish paper, with two central oval holes in the paper, 2 ins x 1 in and 1 ½ in x 1 in approx, a third smaller hole upper left, missing segments of type supplied in manuscript. These holes appear consistent with the document being fixed to a wall or surface and pulled away. Frayed at top with minor loss to the first line of type, vertical and horizontal folds with some fraying and partial loss to a few letters, otherwise generally a good copy of this rare and fragile document. Provenance: Given by Dr. James Ryan to his brothers' family home, in Wexford, and understood by family tradition to be a copy which Dr. Ryan removed from the GPO during or immediately before its evacuation in 1916; later sold privately by Michael Ryan (nephew of Dr. James Ryan) to the present vendor in a transaction facilitated and administered by Fonsie Mealy, Auctioneer. We are thus in a position to guarantee this provenance, for which there is documentary evidence in our possession (which we can discuss with intending purchasers on a confidential basis if desired). As is now well known, the Proclamation was printed in Liberty Hall on Sunday 23 April 1916 by printers appointed by James Connolly, under an armed guard of the Irish Citizen Army. Because of a shortage of type, it was necessary to compose the document in two portions and to print it in two passes, with each sheet passing through the machine twice. The gap between the two sections (after 'among the nations') varies slightly from one copy to another. The print order was 2,500 copies, but the vast majority of these appear to have perished in the fires and bombardments of Easter Week. Our best estimate is that up to 50 original copies now survive, mostly in institutional collections from which they are unlikely to emerge. A very few copies are personally linked to participants in the Rising - one signed by Sean T. O'Kelly, now in Leinster House, and one or two more - but this may be the only copy which can be identified with reasonable probability as being in the GPO itself throughout the week of the Rising. James Ryan (1891 - 1970), from Taghmon in Co. Wexford, was a final year medical student in 1916 and a member of the Irish Volunteers. He was appointed medical officer to the GPO garrison, and in that capacity he assisted in carrying the wounded James Connolly from the burning building. Before doing so it appears that he removed the present document from its place in the GPO, folded it quickly and stuffed it in a pocket or in his shirt. After the Rising he was arrested and interned in England and Wales, but was released in time to sit his final medical examinations in 1917. In the 1918 United Kingdom general election he was elected Sinn Fein MP for Wexford South, sat in the First Dail, and later became Dail TD for Wexford, holding his seat for 47 years. A close colleague of Eamon De Valera, he opposed the Treaty, joined Fianna Fail on its foundation, and held senior Ministerial posts including Agriculture (1932-47) and Finance (1957-65). He died in 1970. His papers are mostly in UCD and the National Library. A very desirable copy of this rare document.

Attractive Historical Picture Book O'Neill (Harry) A New Irish Historical Alphabet, A Picture Book of Ireland. Something Unique in Irish Literature. Lg. 4to D. (Clontarf, Harry O'Neill's Press) n.d. With stapled stencilled pages each with coloured linocut illustrations laid down, "Art Mc Murrogh to Zeuss," apparently lacking the letters C, S, T, X, (possibly cut out by a previous owner).

Original Minutes Signed by Maud Gonne Irish National Aid: The Minute Book of the National Committee of the Irish National Aid Association, (For the Relief of Irish Political Prisoners and their Dependant's), 1935 - 1940, containing detailed manuscript minutes in various hands about 66 meetings of the Committee, mostly signed by the chairperson Maud Gonne MacBride, with a few signed by Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, Mrs. Brugha, Nora Connolly O'Brien and others. In a small quarto notebook. The Minutes include detailed reports of committee membership, the Committee's business, donations, including treasurer's reports, details of grants,letters received, investigation of medical claims, etc.; also on October 27th 1933, 'Secretary reported that she had been asked by the Chief of Staff to request the Committee to approve a loan of about £100 from INAA Finances. Committee decided to grant the loan when necessary. Presumably the reference is to the Chief of Staff of the IRA (Then Moss Twomey) Laid in is a reduced facsimile of the Proclamation of 1916, also a small photo of a boy inscribed to rear, 'George Jr. age 16 when taken' and some other items. At rear is a list of journalists' names. As superb historical source, apparently unpublished. After the execution of her husband Sean MacBride in 1916, Maud Gonne devoted much of her time to organising assistance and relief for political prisoners. Her signature on a document of this nature is extremely rare; there are at least 35 examples in this book. As a m/ss, w.a.f. (1)
Cumann na mBan Irish Civil War: Cumann na mBan, North Dublin Union, A detailed 4 pp manuscript Report by the Prisoners' Council, pencil and ink on two scraps of rough notepaper, dated 3rd October 1923, complaining about the condition of the North Dublin Union when the prisoners were first moved there, of the "terrorism and ill treatment" of prisoners following the escape attempt of 6th May "The Army came in to effect the count, the prisoners refused, and many of them were pulled, kicked and beaten down a stone stairs by the soldiers and police," also complaints about a search of the prisoners' cells on August 26th and the Catholic Church's refusal to grant absolution to the majority of the prisoners on "political grounds" and giving a general account of the prison regime. Some creasing, otherwise good condition, rare and interesting. (1) * The search of prisoners' cells on 26th August followed a raid on the Suffolk Street headquarters of Sinn Fein, during which uncensored correspondence smuggled out of the North Dublin Union had been discovered. The Catholic Church did not refuse to grant absolution to the female prisoners on political grounds, but because they were engaged in huger strikes that could have resulted in self inflicted death (a mortal sin) This document was smuggled out of the North Dublin Union to the Intelligence Section of the anti treaty forces for use as anti government propaganda in "Poblach na hEireann Irish War News". As a m/ss. Ex. Rare.
Cumann na mBan Irish Civil War: Cumann na mBan North Dublin Union, a typed 1 page Letter to Miss Coyle, Prisoners' Commandant, signed by the Prison Governor, T. O'Neill, on official Irish Army embossed notepaper with "Governor's Office. Oglaig na hEireann 21st August 1923" hand stamp in purple in top left corner, re stopping of prisoners' mail for 21 days as a punishment for an attempt to "escape by means of tunnelling" Some creasing otherwise good condition and rare. Eithne Coyle, a prominent Cumann na mBan activist, was from Kilternan, Co. Roscommon. At her Field General Court Martial, in Kilmainham Courthouse, she replied to the charges against her in Gaelic and nonchalantly read a newspaper while evidence was being given against her. She was Commandant of one of the dormitory wings of the North Dublin Union during her internment. Ex. Rare.
Specially bound Association Copy [Irish Trades Union Congress] Connolly (James) Labour in Ireland. Labour in Irish History, The Re-Conquest of Ireland, Into. by Robert Lynd, 8vo D. (Manusel & Roberts) 1922. Orig. full mor. (1) * Presentation copy, specially bound in full polished mor. gilt (probably Three Candles binding), inscribed on free prelim, 'Presented by the Irish Trades Union Congress to Bro. J. Sullivan, Fraternal Delegate from The Scottish Trade Union Congress,' and signed by, Sam Kyle (President), William O'Brien (Vice-President), Sean Campbell (Hon. Treasurer) and Eamon Lynch (Secretary), July 1940. A rare and attractive item, with the Scottish connection.
Superb Association Copy Connolly (James) "Labour in Irish History" 8vo D. (Maunsel) 1910 First Edn., inscribed on f.e.p. 'To / Miss Winifred Carney / from the author / James Connolly', with the date 1914 added. Spine a little worn and discoloured, f.e.p. lightly foxed, otherwise a very good copy. (1) * Winifred Carney, from Bangor, Co. Down, became secretary to the Irish Textile Workers Union in Belfast in 1912. The following year she met Connolly while raising funds for the workers locked out in Dublin. She became his personal secretary, and was thereafter (apart from his wife) his closest and most trusted comrade. A telegram from Connolly summoned her to Dublin on 14 April 1916, and she served with him in the GPO throughout the Rising. She was one of only three women there when the GPO was evacuated. After the Rising she was arrested and held in various jails until Christmas 1916. She continued with her Labour and Socialist activities, and later was an active member of the Northern Ireland Labour Party. She died in 1943. 'Labour in Irish History' is itself a remarkable book. By a writer who left school at 11, with no academic background whatever, it is the first substantial work on the subject, still worth reading today. The first edition is very scarce in good condition, and presentation copies are extremely rare. * James Connolly signed the 1916 Proclamation, commanded the Irish Citizen Army in the GPO, was seriously wounded by a sniper, and was executed tied to a chair on 12 May 1916. A Superb Association copy.
Chronicles of Jails and Prisoners, with Signatures Figgis (Darrell) A Chronicle of Jail, (bound with) A Second Chronicle of Jails, Dublin, Talbot, 1917 & 1919, bound together in cloth, orig. wrappers bound in.

A remarkable collection of signatures, many of them evidently collected during the East Clare Election campaign of July 1917, when De Valera was the successful Republican candidate. De Valera's signature is dated on the day after polling day. Peadar Clancy's signature is very rare; he was shot dead with Commdt. Dick McKee on the evening of "Bloody Sunday," 1920, while allegedly trying to escape from a British Army guardroom in Dublin. (1)

His first term as President ran from 1945 to 1952, and he was re-elected without opposition for a second term.

Bloody Sunday First Anniversary Tournament Excessively Rare Gold Medal G.A.A. Football: A magnificent and excessively rare 9ct gold circular medal, the obverse finely engraved with an Irish sportsman, togged out and standing in front of a goalpost 'holding a rifle in his hands, two hurley sticks, a sliotar and a football lying in foreground, and decorated with shamrocks overhead, the reverse inscribed "Presented by The Irish Natl. Assurance Co., 1921 Anniversary T'ment. Won by Tipp. J. Kickham." The loop suspension flanked either side with engraved shamrock. In immaculate condition. (1) * This medal was awarded to Jack Kickham (C.J. Kickhams Club of Mullinahone) who played full forward for Tipperary on that faithful day. Jack was born at Ballydavid, Mullinahone into a farming family and community where he remained up to his death. He was a member of the Mullinahone Team that brought the first ever Senior County Football Title to the Village in 1912. He progressed to become a full member of the Tipperary County Team along with his club mate Ned Egan. They were narrowly defeated by Kerry in the Munster semi-final of 1919, a match that took place on May 25th, less than a fortnight after the Knocklong Rescue of Sean Hogan by Sean Treacy, Dan Breen and others, in which two policemen were killed. After this incident, South Tipperary became an armed camp and all G.A.A. and other Sporting Activities ceased. Jack was a quiet man and reputed to be one who avoided the limelight at all costs, but one who would have surely won more honours from his sporting prowess except for the turbulent times that existed when he was in his prime. Nevertheless, he will forever be remembered with pride in his native village. An extremely rare memento of this extraordinary day in Irish & G.A.A. History.

A Limited Edition Ford Escort Eclipse Motor Car G343 DDP, first registered on the 26th May 1990, M.O.T. until 17th September 2016. An extremely well cared for example of this increasingly rare car, indicating only 61,446 miles, which appears fully corroborated by the DVLA M.O.T. test history which includes test dates and mileages as follows: 18/09/2006 - 57,799, 14/09/2007 - 58,116, 08/09/2008 - 58,376, 17/09/2009 - 58,777, 16/09/2010 - 59,151, 16/09/2011 - 59,548, 17/09/2012 - 60,060, 16/09/2013 - 60,444, 17/09/2014 - 60,732 & 09/09/2015 - 61, 335. This 5 door 1297cc hatchback in eye-catching metallic Bahama blue paint-work had a list price of £8,595, about £3,000 less than the popular Escort XR3, which it closely resembles, it was publicised as having a rear spoiler, low profile tyres, protective wide body mouldings, tinted glass, tilt/slide glass sun-roof with louvred blind, full instrument cluster with rev counter, power front windows, central locking, AM/FM stereo radio/cassette and 60/40 split rear seat back. The car was driven the 12 miles from Abergavenny to the sale-rooms and started easily and performed very well on the journey, the engine running sweetly and with unusually quiet valve gear for this well-proven push-rod engine. This car provides prospective owners with a rare opportunity to purchase a truly economical 5 speed gearbox, usable classic motor car in uncommonly good condition. It will surely attract much envy if attending any one of the increasing number of classic car events being organised. The former late owner's steering and gearstick/handbrake locks are included with the car.
