The squadron was based at East Kirkby, Lincolnshire at that time and during the war flew 5151 operational sorties with the loss of 172 aircraft. Avro Lancaster III JB318 DX-L At 22.56hrs on Tuesday 18th July 1944, 20 Lancaster bombers from 57 squadron took off from East Kirkby. They joined a formation of 89 more aircraft, and their mission was to destroy the Aulnoye railway junction at Revigny-sur-Ornain in France. Included in the 57 squadron group was Lancaster III 'L for leather', serial number JB318, identification DX-L, and its crew of 7 flown by Flt Lt J.A. 'The Bull' Bulcraig DFM. Also aboard was flight engineer Flt Sgt N.L.E. 'Windy' Gale DFM, navigator F/O E.H. 'Rusty' Ruston, wireless operator/air gunner Sgt T. Loughlin, air bomber F/O E.C. 'Robbie' Robson, mid upper gunner Sgt L.E.S. Manning and rear gunner Sgt F.J.D. 'Bert' Taylor. Soon after crossing the French coast - a little after 1am - they were picked out by German searchlights. Bulcraig put the Lancaster into a steep dive, but during this evasive action they lost the protection of the bomber stream and made themselves vulnerable to attack from enemy aircraft. A German JU88 night fighter approached from below, out of view of Lancaster’s gunners, and shot the plane down, killing four of the crew. Ruston, Taylor and Manning all bailed out, and the plane crashed in flames and blew up in a field near Bassevelle, between Paris and Reims. Manning, helped by the local French Resistance, went into hiding in a small café in La Trétoire (despite it being frequented by the Germans) until he was liberated by advancing American forces. Taylor went into hiding on a farm in Bussières and evaded capture until he too was liberated by the Allies. Ruston was captured by the Germans at Nanteuil-Sur-Marne on Sunday 23rd July and was imprisoned in the West Compound at Stalag Luft 1 prisoner of war camp in northern Germany. He remained there as prisoner 4967 until the camp was liberated by the Russians on 30th April 1945. The raid was a success, but the cost in men and aircraft was heavy - 24 aircraft and 129 lives were lost. East Kirkby lost 5 Lancasters (including DX-L) and 19 airmen. Today there is a permanent stone memorial to the crew of DX-L in the field on the crash site, built by the local residents. "...A brass plate fastened to a tree On it seven names stare out at me I press my fingers to the plate Thinking back to that night of fate That night of flame and naked fear When a stricken bomber crashed right here..." (Photograph of 57 Squadron at East Kirby, 1944, reproduced with kind permission of the 57 & 630 Squadrons’ Association. Credit for images of the memorial site at Bassevelle and map: Jacques Bodécot / Pierre Pécastaingts at Aérostèles) The Caterpillar club, formed in 1922, is an exclusive international association for people who have successfully used a parachute to save their lives by bailing out of a disabled aircraft. It was known as ‘The Elite Club that no one wanted to join, and whose members joined by accident”. Those who intentionally jump from aircraft, such as skydivers, are not accepted, and there are very strict conditions that need to be met. Potential members are required to apply with evidence of their descent. Following authentication, production of satisfactory evidence and independent corroboration of the event, applicants receive a certificate and a distinctive lapel pin modelled as a silkworm (as silk was originally used in the manufacture of parachutes). Each pin is individually engraved with the recipient’s name before presentation. Pins are not available for purchase by friends, colleagues or collectors, and the only other opportunity to obtain a genuine pin is on the very rare occasion when a previously issued example appears for sale, as in this case. The early versions were gold and had ‘ruby red’ glass eyes with the recipient's name and rank engraved in one line on the reverse. The later versions were silver gilt and had red enamel eyes with the recipient's name engraved on the reverse underneath their rank. This lot includes one of each variety. The early versions are particularly rare and extremely collectable. Members of the club included such famous names as Charles Lindbergh, WW2 flying ace Sir Douglas Bader and astronaut John Glenn.

Lot 360

An early 19th century Old Sheffield Plate swing handled fruit basket, of rectangular form, the gadrooned rim with turned edge and scroll and foliate quadrants, the concave field with an oval foliate plaque, the central cartouche engraved with a crest, simple reeded edged swing handle, raised on four ball feet, 29 x 20cmFootnote: Old Sheffield Plate, sometimes referred to as ‘fused plate’ or 'OSP' was the accidental invention of Thomas Bolsover, a Sheffield silversmith, in 1743. While trying to repair the handle of a customer's knife, he overheated it and the silver started to melt. When he examined the damage, he saw that the silver had fused with the copper fittings. He found that the two metals behaved as one when he tried to repair it again, even though he could clearly see the two different layers. By 1770 he was able to produce sheets of copper with silver fused to both sides, which behaved in the same way as solid silver sheet when making items, but for a fraction of the cost. With the advent of electroplating in the 1840s Old Sheffield Plate went out of production and today these items with their distinctive ‘turned edges’ (to hide the copper inner) are now much sought after by collectors.

An early 20th century Austrian metalwares silver three-piece tea set and tray, mark of Alexander Sturm, Vienna, 800/1000 standard silver, the teapot of simple oval form with reed and tie borders, part marked side hinged flush fitting cover with button finial and simple handle with cream-coloured insulators, stamped to the underside '90801', the two handled sucrier with gilded interior and friction fitting removable cover, stamped to the underside '94804' and high sided milk jug, stamped to the underside '94796' to match, along with the tray, of oval form, measuring 40 x 32cm, stamped to the underside '04879', 70.1ozt gross (4)Footnote: Alexander Sturm (1851-1915) was an ambitious silverworker who married the daughter of Vincenz Carl Dub, an already established Viennese silversmith and opened his own shop in 1883, trading as ‘Alexander Sturm, Dub's Eidam’ (Dub's son-in-law). His clients were of the high nobility and from the so-called ‘Vienna's second society’ (the rising bourgeoisie, industrialists, bankers, civil servants and high-ranking army officers). His business attracted the interest of artists of the Vienna Secession movement and of the Wiener Werkstätte. They commissioned artisans on a freelance basis and Sturm received many commissions from them which were marked with the trademark of the Wiener Werkstätte, the monogram of the designer and Sturm's initials - ‘A.St’ - instead of his usual ‘clover’ stamp as featured on these examples. Wiener Werkstätte closed its doors in 1932 and Sturm's firm closed in 1988, but it was relaunched by George Stradiot in 2008 under the name ‘Wiener Silber Manufactur’. Today their shop is based in the centre of Vienna, and they specialise in reproducing objects designed during the Viennese Jugendstil and Art deco periods and the 1930s, drawing on their archive of over 11,000 designs dating back to Sturm's original drawings of the late 1800s

He was apprenticed to his father and became a certified silversmith in 1844. Because of Carl's superb craftsmanship, the firm quickly flourished. It became particularly famous for their objets de vertu, which attracted the attention of the Royal family and the Imperial Court and in 1837 the firm became the official Imperial Court silversmiths. In 1851 Josef took over the running of his father’s business and further improved the style and quality of their creations. Their customers were now drawn from the upper middle classes and the elite nobility of Europe. In 1855 he was awarded the Imperial Warrant to the Court of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria and in 1869 he became the Purveyor to the Imperial Household. Josef was knighted in 1879 and in 1884 he retired, passing the company on to his sons, Arthur and Isidor. During his retirement he built up an extensive private art collection with his fortune, which was auctioned off after his death in 1889. In 1918 the firm was sold to Arthur Krupp, who renamed it 'J.C.Klinkosch AG'. The company closed in 1972. Today, Klinkosch items are much sought after by collectors.

He exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889 where he was awarded a gold medal for his outstanding designs and fine quality silverware, much of which was influenced by Rococo style. Têtard’s pieces were highly sought after by a discerning clientele, and he became a favourite of the French aristocracy. After Tétard’s death the firm passed to his three sons Henri, Jacques and Georges. It was renamed Tétard Frères and the brothers retired their father’s maker’s mark and registered their own in February 1903. The firm went on to become one of the leading European silversmiths of the early 20th century.
