ET. MON. DROIT on scroll below, 79mm., wt. 109.19gms. (Adams type 7.1; Jamieson Fig. 14; John J. Ford Collection, part XVI, Stack’s, 17 October, 2006 (lot 59 - $14,000); Eimer 736a; cf.Betts 600), with original decorated and shaped loose suspension loop, even light grey tone, single slight edge bruise, extremely fine and very rare *ex Baldwin’s vault and with stock ticket for £25 The Adams ‘Modern Census’ lists 86 medals of this type, however only 24 of this variety and of these 11 are shells (ie the medal is hollow). This medal does not feature on the census. The price of £50 matches item 11 on a Baldwin list of 1943/4, ‘Prices Quoted to Montagu - Alterations for Ferguson’ and it is probably one and the same piece. The Ferguson mentioned would be J. Douglas Ferguson (1901-1981), who for over 50 years was known as the ‘Dean of Canadian Numismatics’. In 1971 he established the J. Douglas Ferguson Historical Research Foundation. The cataloguers speculate that Montagu could be George Charles Montagu, 9th Earl of Sandwich (1874–1962). Montagu compiled British and Foreign Medals Relating to Naval and Maritime Affairs, Greenwich 1937 (for the then newly-opened National Maritime Museum).

Lee, no.550 of 1,000 printed. (2) John Knibb was born c.1650 and was apprenticed to Joseph Knibb his older brother in St Clements in c.1664. After a year the business moved to the south side of Holywell Street. When Joseph moved to London in 1670, John took over the Oxford business gaining the Freedom of the city in 1673. John became a very important figure in Oxford twice becoming Mayor in 1698-99 and 1710-11. He continued in business until 1722. The signature plaque on this lot compares very closely to a dial featured in Ronald Lee, The Knibb Family Clockmakers, p.111, pl.114. Certain elements of the movement with its fine plates and butterfly nut regulation on the top of the suspension spring are typical features of John Knibb.
