Lot 1
A set of Great Western Railway Brass Letters ex Taunton Station. These were displayed outside the main building, above the entrance and similar were utilised at Leamington Spa. Very much Art Deco and extremely rare. The historical importance is immense. The actual font design was by Edward Johnston. Johnston abandoned his medical studies in Edinburgh and set off for London to "go in for art". He was put in charge of 'illuminating' classes at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and he is considered the 'father' of the 20th century revival of formal lettering. His most well-known design is the block lettering for London Underground, which is based on Classical Roman proportions.

The Jerusalem Coffee House was situated in the heart of the 'city',in Cowper's Court, Cornhill. It was a subscription house for merchants and others trading to the East Indies, China and Australia and was therefore an obvious venue for Mr Young's famous chronometers.

One-family owned since 1956, 1938 Daimler EL24 Four-Door Drophead Coachwork by the Carlton Carriage Company Registration Number: EUU 296. Chassis Number: 45634. Engine Number: 85304. Daimler's Standard Twenty had by 1936 been uprated to 23.8hp and given the new designation of 'LQ3/24'. Along with the 2.6 litre 'Light Twenty' it sported a six cylinder poppet valve engine. By late 1936 improvements to the chassis led to a further rename, this time to EL24, more simply referred to as the 'Twenty-Four'. First registered on the 9th February 1930, research leads us to believe that EUU 296 was built as a standard Daimler EL24 Saloon. A surviving buff log book supplied with the car and dating from 1949 shows the body type to be listed as Cabriolet, indicating that at some time in the car's first ten years, the coachwork was upgraded to open specification. On opening EUU's doors, Carlton Carriage Company Ltd name plates confirm the origins of this coachwork. The bodywork is skilfully executed to an exceptional standard and almost imperceptible from a factory designed and built body. The secret of this is almost certainly in the use of the majority of factory panels, whilst keeping and excellent line for the hood and clever design of the door tops and windscreen top rail to reduce 'clumsiness' of line. In its current family ownership since 1956, the car was supplied to them by FW Mays and Co of Dorking and paperwork includes the 1956 bill of sale, interestingly referring to the car as a 'saloon', which is contradicted by the earlier 1949 logbook. Rather amusingly the bill of sale is accompanied by another receipt dated just 28 days later which quotes: 'To: Sending driver with car to Cheshunt, bringing owner back to Dorking and providing driving instruction..' It would seem that even in 1956 command of the pre-selector gearbox was not to be taken for granted. Dry stored locally since the 1960s the car is in exceptionally sound 'barn-find' condition, although it is in non-running order. The panels and underside are sound and whilst the rear section of the hood is in tatters, the dark blue leather seats are in good order. An exceptionally well-appointed and quality car when new, notable features include rear occasional seats, centre arm rests, wood cappings, a central self-jacking system, Notek centre spotlight, rear-mounted spare wheel and an 'Owl Eye' rear lamp. Paperwork includes a quantity of (costly) bills following purchase in the 1950s, papers relating to the fitment of a Radiomobile radio in 1947 and an MOT from 1962. Importantly the car is registered with the DVLA and has a current V5C registration document. Tools include the all-important hub spanner, hammer, starting handle and a period greaser. Four-door dropheads are rare in any form and this is a wonderful find with quality echoing that of Rolls-Royce cars of the period and with a 50-year local history.
