Lot 149
A rare set of early 20th century Avery jockey scales with weights. History/Provenance: the scale was one of two at Newmarket and was sold after the war and used on Southend Pier as a fairground scale. In 1967 it was sent to Avery to be chrome plated on the brass and restamped with EIIR (19) 67 Stamp. The scale comprises a very early leather mahogany chair in need of restoration but the scale weighs accurately to 2oz and there is a full set of weights and original 1950s fairground board. Prior to auction, the scale was on loan at The Avery Historical Museum which closed in August 2014. This lot is accompanied by numerous photographs and clippings including a photograph of "Teddy" Edwin Watt who died in 2011 in Torbay. He had, up until 2000, used the scales on Paignton seafront until health and safety banned him. He purchased them through his showman background Southend in the early 1970s.

Eocene Period, 30-40 million years BP. A fossil shark’s tooth, possibly Otodus, in limestone matrix with remnants of fish scales, with old Gregory, Bottley and Lloyd label reading; ‘Lower Cretaceous, Sharks tooth, Faringdon, Berkshire’, in old white card tray, from the Gregory, Bottley, and Lloyd collection. James Reynolds Gregory (1832-1899) was one of the principle London mineral and fossil dealers during the second half of the 19th century. The company he founded was one of the longest surviving geological suppliers in the world, second only to Kranz of Germany. In 1858 James Gregory established his business selling polished stones, minerals and fossils from premises in King William Street. A few years later he moved to premises in Golden Square, Soho. He won prize medals at exhibitions in Paris (1867), Sydney (1879) and London (1862 and 1883). He also formed a superb collection of meteorites, which was later sold by his sons to the Natural History Museum, London. On the death of his father in 1899 Albert Gregory took over the business, dealing from premises in Kensington, then 30 Old Church Street in Chelsea. He eventually sold the company in 1932 to Percy Bottley, and after his death in 1982 the premises were sold. The company was then acquired by Brian Lloyd who had started the Natural History sales at Sotheby's before dealing from his own premises in Pall Mall. Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd, as it became known, traded from Ricket Street and later Seagrave Road in Fulham. In 2008 the business and all of the stock and Victorian cabinets were moved out of London to Walmer in Kent. On the eventual retirement of Brian and Mary Lloyd in 2014, with none of their family interested in taking over the business, the stock was sold and is now dispersed. 411 grams, 11cm (4 1/4"). From a historic ‘Victorian Museum’ collection; from the stock of Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd (1981-2014); formerly with Gregory, Bottley & Co. (1932-1981) and previously with J. R. Gregory & Co.
