Lot 49
Brotherly Love Bank, for the Three Grand Principles, a Masonic note promising to pay Brother Secrecy the sum of 1 Shilling, Newcastle, 7 April 1806, serial number A48, manuscript signature of Faithful Hope, with Masonic symbols engraved at left, with a small but beautifully executed hand coloured element, minor mounting remnants on reverse low left corner slightly damaged, overall very fine and rare Outing unlisted £240-£300 --- Given the issue location, it seems likely that the serial number is A48 because the oldest Masonic lodge in the ‘Province of Durham’ is in Gateshead and is lodge number 48. There are other such Masonic notes known, with several different ‘branches’ and payees known to have been printed. The purpose or use of the notes is unclear.

Lot 54
Manchester & Gibralter Bank, for the Governor of the Gibralter Hotel, Pall Mall, a note promising to pay the bearer 2 Pence for winnings at Bagatelle, Manchester, 17 January 1810, serial number 1639, signed by William Murray, with a very nicely printed and ornate vignette of a contemporary steam train in a crowned frame at top left, partially stuck on card, very good, extremely rare and a wonderful item Outing unlisted £240-£300 --- Bagatelle was a very popular 19th century precursor to Bar Billiards, and this note may actually be serious in promising to pay the bearer two pence for winning at it. The reasons for the naming of the note, and the subject matter of the vignette are unclear, but there was once a Gibralter Street in Manchester, and it was right next to the new Victoria Railway station in 1840. There may have been a Hotel on or near the street. Alternatively, it is possible that the Gibralter Hotel may have been on Pall Mall in London, and the ‘winner’ of the note might have had to catch the train to Manchester to cash in his almighty prize of 2 pence. Alternatively, and most likely, the note is simply nonsense, or was some kind of in-joke that we now lack the context to understand.

He first appears in the Nottingham Directory as a hairdresser in 1825. He sold his premises on Warser Gate in 1844 and died in 1849. Hairdressers and Barbers of this era often operated as informal agents for servants and employers, hence the text on this note ‘Register Office for Servants’.
