The model was produced in stainless steel, 14K gold and 18K gold, and was Rolex's first chronograph model to feature a tachometer scale on the bezel. To further enhance legibility on the dial, the subsidiary dials were printed in a different colour than the main dial. Early models featured only the designation 'Cosmograph' on the dial, with 'Daytona' being added to later series, after Rolex became associated with the NASCAR car races.The current lot is offered for sale by the original owner and was purchased in 1970 for £109 as a belated 21st birthday present. The vendor originally went in to purchase an Omega Speedmaster but upon finding that the store were out of stock was offered the choice of this Daytona instead. Up until circa 2000 the watch was regularly serviced by Rolex and has since been kept in a safe unused for the last 20 years. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

George Wright Oak C1870 Victorian Carousel 12 Clip. Unusual carousel Billiard cue stand in English oak to take 12 items by George Wright c1890. The circular raised base supported on three bracket feet, in original polish with a waxed patina. It revolves with ease as base is fitted with the rare ball-bearing track. Cues held in place with spring clips of brass & ivory & the whole assembly originally fitted with a lockable device to secure all cues & rests within the stand, now disabled to allow free access to all items. Size 52cm diameter x 152cm high. CUES NOT INCLUDED AND ARE FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY Condition Report: The overall condition is excellent for something of this age. It has not been stripped & polished - the original patina & finish has been revived and there is some minimal water staining to the top surfaces. The spring cue clips are definitely brass & ivory/bone but are flanked within the top timber surround. The original locking mechanism does not have the necessary components to make it workable so in our opinion could not be restored. See additional photos.

Boxing Broadside. The Great Fight Between Bendigo and Caunt for the Sum of £200 a-side and the Championship of England, on Tuesday, September 9th, 1845, printed by John Howe, Commercial Office, Blanket-Row, Hull, [1845], printed broadside on thin wove paper, depicting a wood engraving (by J. Howe) at head above title and letterpress text giving a first-hand account of the fight, some spotting and heavy brown stains, mostly circles and semi-circles along the vertical centrefold, a few small tears affecting several words of text but largely without loss of sense, a little creasing and marginal fraying, 38.5 x 27 cmQty: (1)Footnote: A rare bare-knuckle boxing broadside detailing one of the many fights between these two legendary giants of the sport. Ben Caunt (1815-1861) stood 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 18 stone, becoming the heavyweight boxing champion known as the 'Torkard Giant' and 'Big Ben'. His opponent was William "Bendigo" Thompson (1811-1880) from Nottingham, who won the heavyweight championship of England from James Burke in 1839. He is credited with introducing the southpaw stance and has been inducted into several boxing Halls of Fame. The two boxers fought three times with Thompson winning through the fights including this one which he won on a foul in 75 rounds. The account of the fight is brutal with both men trading heavy blows throughout, Bendigo eventually being declared the victor a little after 6 o'clock in the evening. No other copies of this broadside have been located; a rare survival.
* HMS Amethyst. A rare Telex of congratulations from King George VI, Admiralty, 31 July 1949, for the Commander in Chief, 'Please convey to the Commanding Officer and Ship's Company of HMS Amethyst my hearty congratulations on their daring exploit to rejoin the fleet, the courage, skill and determination shown by all onboard have my highest commendation. Splice the main brace', a little spotting and toning and a few contemporary paper adhesion remains to front and back, 14 x 18cm, matted in a presentation mount with a printed description mounted beneath, overall 44 x 32.5cmFootnote: The Amethyst Incident, or Yangtze Incident, involved the Royal Naval ships HMS Amethyst, HMS Consort, HMS London and HMS Black Swan during the Chinese Civil War in the summer of 1949. HMS Amethyst was ordered up the Yangtze River to act as a guard ship for the British Embassy in Nanjing when it came under fire from the Communist artillery batteries on the northern bank of the river and while attempting to evade the shelling it ran aground. During the incident 17 members of the crew were killed and 10 wounded, including the captain, Lieutenant Commander Bernard Skinner, who later died. Attempts were made by the other ships to re-float Amethyst but were all forced back by intense shellfire. The crew eventually managed to re-float the ship and establish a truce with the local Communist forces but conditions worsened for the crew with extreme heat and a shortage of rations. In early July, Amethyst slipped its anchor under cover of darkness and travelled downstream to Shanghai, negotiating treacherous sandbanks and some artillery fire. Nevertheless Amethyst reached Shanghai and rejoined the British Far East Fleet. The events of this three month ordeal were well covered by the world's press and this Telex is a rare, and possibly unique, survival.

This present evening, Thursday 9th July 1812, and every evening during the election, will be presented a new low comedy called The Banditti', some slight soiling and staining, laid on contemporary paper, 39 x 24 cmQty: (3)Footnote: Henry Hunt was a prosperous farmer who became drawn into radical politics during the Napoleonic wars. His talent for public speaking became noted in the electoral politics of Bristol, where he denounced the complacency of the Whigs and the Tories, and proclaimed himself a supporter of democratic radicalism. In 1819 Hunt was invited by the Patriotic Union Society to be one of the scheduled speakers at a rally in Manchester, which turned into the Peterloo massacre. Hunt was arrested for high treason and sentenced to thirty month's imprisonment. In 1830 he became a member of parliament for Preston and was the first MP to advocate for women's suffrage. All the broadsides are rare with no copies located on Library Hub Discover. University of Bristol Libraries have a manuscript purporting to be that of the theatrical hand-bill included in this lot.

The owner is liable for the costs of all war-like stores, changes of clothing, sea bedding as well as advance money and wages. The crew agree to comply with orders from the owner or his agent. The details include noting that the first man on board a captured vessel is awarded 5 guineas, the protection of a departing crew on a return prize vessel and how it affects their share of profit, discussions on mutiny and its effect on shares.

Records show that she was employed on the Channel Station between 1800-01 under Lt Berry and again between 1804-05 when she captured the Vrow Elizabeth. It was one of Blewett's larger vessels, was very successful under John Davey's command and, along with others, took at least 16 ships into Plymouth for appraisal and condemnation. Hannibal Blewett owned several private ships of war, the Betsy and Queenborough, others noted being Happy Return, Hero, John Bull and Caesar. His ships were put up for sale between 1807-09.

** Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson (1889-1946)MT (Motor Transport) (Black 43) The very rare woodcut printed in brown, 1918, an excellent impression, signed in pencil, from the edition of 12, on oriental laid paper, with margins, image 214 x 285mm (8 1/2 x 11 1/4in)This print was first exhibited at the Leicester Galleries in March 1918. Jonathan Black notes "The experience of being picked up by a lorry- known as 'lorry jumping' - either when returning from a rare ten days' leave (which a British soldier in the ranks might expect to be given every 14 to 18 months), or setting out for Calais or Boulogne to catch a leave ship home, was depicted in the early 1918 woodcut MT. From the glum expressions and the skilfully delineated dejected body language of the troops in the back of the lorry, one can imagine the former scenario is presented in MT. This was one of a handful of woodcuts Nevinson produced in 1918-19, no more than four or five in total."
