* Cricket Bat. A reproduction of an early 1750s' cricket bat, probably English, (?)20th century, made from solid willow with no shoulders, blade has one curved edge and one straight with slight off-centre bevel to back of blade, indistinct name stamp stencilled to back with only beginning or end letters 'T' or 'LL' now visible, twine grooves etched on handle, 84cm (33ins) longQty: (1)NOTESThe earliest surviving cricket bats resemble a broad and curved hockey stick. Around 1750, with the advent of bowlers pitching the ball up, the straight blade was generally adopted, initially with one straight and one curved edge, as offered here. The first laws of cricket were written in 1774 and around this time the cricket bat took the shape that we recognise today, with two straight edges and shoulders below the handle.The bat offered here would appear to be a reproduction based on the early bat and possibly specially made for a mock tournament or exhibition. The clearest evidence that this is not an 18th-century bat is its short size. As the early bats were held at an angle to the body, much like a hockey stick, the early bats were approximately 109cm (43 inches) with even bats for junior players measuring approximately 96cm (38ins). The maker of this bat has, (perhaps mistakenly), made it to be held in the upright stance as the modern cricket bat, and its shorter size is indeed similar to the standard modern bat. An interesting and unusual item, nonetheless!

* Fan.

J. Duvelleroy Ltd., 121, New Bond Street, London, W.1.', and with name in contemporary manuscript 'The Honble Mrs Dunne'Qty: (1)NOTESThe Honourable Cecily Marion Violet Joan Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes (1900-1985) married aviation pioneer and philosopher John William Dunne (1875-1949) in 1928. Cecily was daughter to the 18th Baron Saye and Sele, and the couple were married in splendour from the family seat of Broughton Castle. As a wedding present H.G. Wells modestly gifted them a signed limited edition set of his own works to date. Wells was one of a number of writers subsequently influenced by Dunne's 1934 book An Experiment With Time which explored the notion that dreams foretell future experiences. Other writers who were interested in Dunne's theories were J.B. Priestley, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Graham Greene and Vladimir Nabakov.
