Hartlepool Special Constabulary medal 1914-1918, obverse: arms of the Borough, reverse: legends ‘Borough of Hartlepool’, ‘Special Constabulary’, ‘Bombardment 1914’, ‘Air Raids 1915-18’, ‘Zeppelin Destroyed 1916’. Un-named as issued, swivel suspender. GVF and rare. Note: On 16 December 1914 the First World War cast its shadow over N. E. England, with raids on Scarborough, Whitby and Hartlepool. German battle cruisers opened fire on the town of Hartlepool at 8.03am causing much damage, (a gasometer blew up, the local Evening Gazette reported ‘shells were bursting everywhere, wrecking homes and dealing death and destruction’). The casualty toll was 102 killed including children and 467 wounded. Zeppelin raids followed later in the war causing further destruction. On 27 November 1916 2nd Lieutenant I. Pyott single handedly shot down Zeppelin L-34 over Hartlepool and was awarded the D.S.O for his action. Approximately 116 Hartlepool Special Constabulary medals were awarded, illustrated on Plate 20.

2 rare WW1 period glazed and wood framed games of skill. ‘Sky Pirates’. ‘A Duel In The Air’. A game of ‘British Manufacture’, using a small ball bearing (representing the aeroplane) running in a grooved track made of card. The track has 11 holes (shells) for the ball bearing to negotiate. The picture on the card is of a British Bi-Plane (bottom left) and a Zeppelin (top right) within the beam of a searchlight. The idea is to complete the game and to destroy the Zeppelin. Plus another similar game by the same maker- ‘Trench Football’. Basically the same idea with a ball used to miss the holes in the trenches. The theme this time is to beat the German defenders who are notable characters including Count von Zeppelin and to score a goal by dropping the ball into the Kaiser’s mouth. Size for both 16cm wide, X 24.5 high. GC for age, some fading to cards.

1937 DKW F7 Meisterklasse Cabriolet Reg. No.: DOX 468 Chassis no. 5064535 Engine No.: 762816 DKW is a historic German car and motorcycle marque whose name derives from ‘Dampf-Kraft-Wagen’, the German for steam driven car. Indeed it was a steam driven car that was attempted in 1916 by a Danish Engineer who had founded a factory in Saxony to produce steam fittings that same year. Although unsuccessful he made a two stroke toy engine in 1919 and put a modified version of this engine into a motorcycle. This was the real beginning of the DKW brand. By the 1930’s DKW was the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. In 1932 DKW merged with Audi, Horch and Wanderer to form the ‘Auto Union’. DKW cars were made from 1928 until 1966, always using two stroke engines and from 1931 the company was a pioneer in front wheel drive and transverse mounting. The ‘F’ prefix series signified front wheel drive and these cars were powered by 600 or 700cc engines. The F7 model, of which we have an example here, was made between 1937 and 1938. This motorcar was made late in 1937 and registered early in 1938. It has been owned by the same family since 1962 and is believed to have been rebuilt in 1955 by a previous owner. At this time a number of modifications were carried out such as the addition of trafficators, side lights and a temperature gauge. Lucas headlamp lenses were also fitted to the original shells. This car has been a regular attendant at owners club meets from the 1960’s-1980’s and has always been garaged. Currently MOT’d it is in running but unrestored condition. It would benefit from some improvement, and we are advised that it could do with a re-wire. A rare opportunity to acquire a seldom seen motorcar. Please note there are a number of DKW spares from the same vendor, in the sale on Day 1. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
