A GWR 5” Diameter brass cased Smiths dial clock from GWR Saloon 9001. This carriage was one of only two Special Saloons built by the GWR between 1938 and 1940 to Diagram G.62, Lot No. 1626. Both saloons had the Pantry equipped with Attendant’s Seat and a (GWR) clock. The Vendor bought the actual coach direct from BR in August 1968 and later sold it in the 1970’s, however he kept the clock. The sister coach, number 9002 now resides at Didcot and this retains a similar clock. No doubt a rare clock as only the two are known to have been fitted, one in each coach. A letter of provenance accompanies which also confirms that it has recently been overhauled.

A rare and unusual 19th century Australian football trophy, in the form of a Victorian silver two-handled trophy cup and cover by Frederick Ellington, Birmingham 1885, of tapering shape, with pierced handles and floral cartouches, inscribed to one side THE STEWART FOOTBALL TROPHY, the other side inscribed PRESENTED BY JAMES STEWART & CO. ROCKHAMPTON, WON BY SCOTTISH RIFLES FOOTBALL CLUB 1887, MOUNT MORGAN 1888, MOUNT MORGAN 1889, the cover with similar decoration, the finial modelled as a footballer, height 53.5cm., 21in.; together with an engraved plaque presumably removed from the trophy plinth, inscribed WON BY MOUNT MORGAN, 1899, PRESENTED TO J.WESLEY HALL, ESQ., PRESIDENT (2). James Stewart who provided this trophy was a prominent businessman from Rockhampton in central Queensland, Australia, who ran a wholesaling and retailing business which he grew from a one room operation into a national brand with several branches of his stores. At the John Oxley Library, the State Library of Queensland, there is a team-group photograph in their archive titled Mount Morgan Football Club, Winners of the Stewart Trophy, 1888-89 season. The other winners engraved on the trophy are presumably the [Queensland] Scottish Rifles regiment. From the separate engraved plaque it is evident that Mount Morgan FC won the Stewart Trophy for a third time in succession in 1890. In the tradition of challenge trophies, it would appear that Mr James Stewart then presented the cup for the club to keep.

Lot 510
A very rare press/VIP issue international programme for Brazil v England played at the Maracana Rio de Janeiro 30th May 1964.

Lot 573
A rare and historic match programme from Liverpool FC’s very first season of 1892-93: a reserves fixture v Bootle Athletic played at Anfield 26th November 1892. As well as being an historic survival from Liverpool FC’s first season, the opposition is poignant as well. For Livepool directly replaced Bootle in the Second Division of the Football League the following season, with the Bootle club seemingly disappearing after just one season as a Football League club.
Lot 592

This makeshift programme was only distributed to journalists covering the day.

Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, often referred to simply as Wisden or colloquially as ‘the bible of Cricket’ is by far the best known reference book concerned with the sport of cricket and is one of the most famous and long running sports reference books published in the UK. It was founded in 1864 by the English cricketer John Wisden (1826-1884) as a competitor to Lillywhite’s Guide to Cricketers (see lot 811). Its annual publication has continued uninterrupted to the present day, including through the First and Second World War periods. The sixth edition was the first published under its current title; the first five were published as The Cricketer’s Almanack, with the apostrophe before the ‘s’. It has had only 15 editors in over 140 years, including Sydney Pardon for 35 editions (1891 to 1925) and Norman Preston for 29 editions (1952 to 1980). Matthew Engel is the current editor although Scyld Berry edited 2008 while Engel takes a sabbatical. Wisden has always been a small-paged but increasingly a very thick book (over 1500 pages in modern editions). The distinctive bright yellow cover has been carried since the 75th edition in 1938. In previous years, covers varied between yellow, buff and salmon pink. The 75th edition was the first to display the famous woodcut of two Victorian cricketers by Eric Ravilious on its cover. In 2003 the woodcut gave way to photographic portraits of a contemporary cricketer. In 2006 and 2007, a larger format edition has been published on an experimental basis. Wisden was acquired and published by Robert Maxwell’s publishing conglomerate, Macdonald, in the 1970s. Sir Paul Getty bought the company, John Wisden & Co, in 1993. They are now highly desirable collectors’ items. In May 2007 Graham Budd Auctions set a world record auction price by selling a collection from first year of issue for £120000. This lot represents another rare opportunity to instantly acquire a collection in its entirety.

Ken Willingham’s dark blue England v Wales international cap season 1938-39, inscribed ENGLAND V WALES, 1938-39; sold together with a Wills’s Cigarettes card portraying Ken Willingham (2). Sheffield Wednesday’s Ken Willingham was awarded this cap for his appearance against Wales in the match played at Cardiff on 22nd October 1938. Wales won this match 4-2. A programme for this match is being offered elsewhere in the auction as lot 528. This style of England cap was introduced in the 1938-39 season and was only used for this season, because when international football resumed after the war a new style of cap appeared. It therefore represents a rare collector’s piece.
