Smith, Robert C; D G Pollard Rhodesia. A postal history - its stamps, posts and telegraphs (with 1970 supplement and 1980 Rhodesia Stamp Catalogue) 250 x 190; 245 x 180; 220 x 150 Despite chipping and rubbing, there is only minor loss to the dustjacket of the main item in this lot. The scarlet simulated leather boards, gilt to the spine, are very good. There is some paper loss to the front paste-down and the other endpapers are sunned at the edges. The 453 pp of illustrated text and appendixes are printed on coated paper and are very good. The v + 62 pp illustrated supplement is on even better paper and is unmarked and undiscoloured. The 2-col card wraps are rubbed along the spine, back and front. The wrappers of the 141 pp sewn-section flat-back catalogue are also rubbed but the main image panels are clear. In colour throughout, this is a generally excellent compilation and production, but the printer and repro house apologise on a sticker at the front for the poor reproduction of colour and perforation definition and four of the pages, and enclose a correction sheet thata makes the perforations clear - what service! This attractive small collection does justice to this short-lived country`s brightly designed and well-printed postal material.

A fine French engraved gilt brass centre seconds carriage clock with spring detent `chronometer` escapement and push-button repeat Bollviller, Paris, circa 1845 The gilt eight-day two train bell striking movement with underslung spring detent escapement and vertical rim monometallic balance with blued steel timing screws and helical balance spring mounted via a bridge with column turned uprights onto a large linear engine-turned platform, the backplate stamped with oval BOLLVILLER, A PARIS trademark to lower margin, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with centre seconds, blued steel Breguet style moon hands and repeat signature BOLLVILLER A PARIS in a curve below, the gilt one-piece caddy moulded foliate scroll engraved bevel-glazed case with hinged carrying handle and repeat button fitted towards the front edge of the top glass, the rear door with shuttered winding holes within a rococo-scroll engraved gilt field, on cavetto moulded skirt base with recessed rounded angles, the inner base plate stamped L. LANGE 84 to underside, 14cm (5.5ins) high excluding handle. Bolviller is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as working from various addresses in Paris from circa 1830-70; Rue Saint-Avoye 1830, Rue Charlot 1840, Rue Vendome 1850-60 and Rue Beranger 1870. L. Lange is also recorded by Allix as a specialist carriage clock case maker whose stamp appears mainly on one-piece cases housing movements by Auguste, Jules and Japy amongst others. The current lot is unusual and rare in that it is fitted with a spring detent `chronometer` escapement and has centre seconds. The design of the bridge for the balance, as well as the engine turned detail to the platform, can be directly compared to an underslung pointed-tooth platform lever escapement fitted to a very similar but non centre seconds carriage clock signed by Jules, Paris, illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development pages 74-5 (figs II/50 and II/51). Indeed these similarities add weight to the suggestion made by Allix that these clocks originated from the same manufacturing process/workshop.
