CARDHU 1973 27 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1973Bottled: October 2000Bottle Number: 421860.02% ABV / 70cl Cardhu was the first distillery acquired by John Walker & Son in 1893 and has been linked to the brand ever since. Although it had appeared as a single malt as early as 1888, it wasn’t until nearly 100 years later that it was properly marketed as such. This proved especially popular in Spain and France, to the point where the distillery couldn’t meet the demand without eating into its blending stock. Their novel approach was to supplement it with whisky from other distilleries, calling it a “Pure Malt” instead. This sneaky tactic caused no end of consternation from the wider whisky industry, ultimately resulting in a tightening of Scotch Whisky regulations and the introduction of the “Blended malt” category.
Waterloo 1815 (John Edwards, Gunner, Royal Horse Artillery) fitted with original steel clip and later silver straight bar suspension, edge bruising, nearly very fine £1,200-£1,600 --- Provenance: Sold with a hand-written note that reads: ‘Jordan 1900. It is with all sincerity that I offer my father’s Waterloo Medal which I hope will be accepted by Mrs. Naylor of Leighton Hall for her past and present kindness to me. [Signed] John Edwards.’ Two men with the name John Edwards served as Gunners in the Royal Horse Artillery during the Waterloo Campaign. This medal is believed to be that awarded to the Gunner John Edwards who served in Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Hew Ross’s “A” (‘Chestnut’) Troop at Waterloo, on the basis that he came from Newtown, Montgomeryshire, barely five miles from the Leighton Hall referred to the letter of provenance referred to above. A letter from this man addressed to his brother, dated Saint Deinanens [sic - St. Dennis], France, on 14 July 1815, was published in The Waterloo Archive, edited by Lieutenant-Colonel M. E. S. Laws: ‘Brother, I reseved your Kind Letter and I am Happy to Hear from you and with Plesur. I take up my pen to informe you That I am in Good Helth at present and I hope you and your wife and family are the same. After wee marched from Birmingham to Warley wee remained theire but a short time, the rout came for us. We marched to Woolwich and were fitted out for pursuing searvice and messing. Happy I was we were reddy in 14 Dayes then wee embarked at Ramsgate and after a plesunt passage of 24 oures at sea were landed at hostend in Flanderes. Flanderes is a very fine cunterey and very fine Groves and Riveres and one of the finest Knells in the woorld, wee marched through Brussels and Gent and other fine townes. It was at Brussels where Louis the 18th was. I seed him there 2 or 3 times. Wee Remained ther 12 Dayes. The Rout came at 11 o'Clock on that Evning of the 15 June. wee marched all that night and it rained verrey hard all that night the action of the 16th begun before we could get up. wee were soon a nuff to see the King's Life Guards and 7th and 1st Germany and Scotch Greys charge the french and they lost about 400 smothered in a Bogg. The 16th and 17th it rained verrey hard and we were at camp with our Horses in our hands and nothen in our aversacks. At 8 o'clock on the 18th Jun the general action begun on our right flank. Our troop was posted in the senter right and left of the main road. 3 guns one side and 8 on the other. Wee been at the tread they put us whare they thought there would be more danger. At about 9 o'clock the french brought 28 gunnes opposite our gunnes and then the game began, harmies and troops (illegible). Every man that never seed a bullet would a thought that the world was at a end. about half-past 10 o'clock the French Emperial Guardes dressed in steel armour back and brest plates, they way about 32 pounds, charged up the maine road till they came within 600 yardes they extended rite and left of the road. Wee fired case shot at them and swep them of like a swathe of grass before a syth. The ground was cuvered with men and horses in 5 minutes. Wee limbered up but before wee could move one yard the french was all round us. Me and four more of our Gunners left the gun and formed up with the 1st German Horse and charged the french cavallery, wee swept through the four times. With a good horse and a sharpe sord I caused 5 of them to fall to the ground. My horse reseved 4 cuts as I could not guard my horse and my self at one time. I have the onner of waren a blue and red ribbon as a marke of that day. Wee soon got either gun in action againe, only 4 men to man her and up to our knees in mud. Colonel Ross lost 5 horses shot under him. My gun was struck several times with the french shots. The prussians came up at 6 o'clock and then the charge was sounded from Right to Left. The french left behind them 2 hundred and ten guns and 7 hundred waggons, and the ground covered with men and horses four or five miles. Louies the 18 marched over the ground that day after and I seed him pass through the town to Parris on the 7th of this month. John Edwards P.S. My account may not be quite so great as you have it in England - so my papper is dun and I must give over. Pleased to give my best respects to your wife and Little John and Margaret.

Seven Japanese paintings on silk, depicting various scenes to include Samurai, musicians etc. 35 x 45 cm. CONDITION REPORT: These are painted on silk. The frames are simple cream and gilt frames from Gray & Son, Scotch Street, Carlisle. The frames probably date from the 50's or 60's and the prints are probably from around that time or possibly a little earlier. They are all in generally good condition and could be hung in their present state without the need for any re-framing or mounting. The frames have minor nibbles but no serious condition issues. There are no significant problems with any of the images either. Five of the mounts are blue foliate and two of the five are faded in the mount area. These frames are all the same. The two remaining pictures have green and beige mounts respectively which are both in good order.
