The tool chest and tools of Ernest Staples, Pattern Maker (d.1979). Comprising Geo. Preston brass back saw, another, board with Short Bros label, Record 311 plane, Record 044 plane, Record 05 1/2 plane, chisels, gouges, augers, etc. Provenance; (David Staples, Bourne - Ernest's son). These tools belonged to Ernest Staples who was apprenticed as a pattern maker and worked in the Bradford area with the engines which pumped the mines and powered the mills. During the Depression the Labour Exchange sent him to the Admiralty Dockyard in Chatham (see plate on front of tool box). He was made redundant in 1927 and went to Short Brothers of Rochester (see transfer on inner lid of box). With some of these tools he helped to build the prototype of the Short Sunderland Flying Boat which played an important role in the Battle of the Atlantic. He then trained as a woodwork teacher. With some of these tools he handmade furniture to replace items lost when the family home in south east London was destroyed in the blitz. He retired in 1966 as a key member of staff in the Craft Design and Technology Dept of Catmose College in Oakham. He was a true craftsman who passed on his skills to many a youngster, including his son David.
[Austen, Jane]. Emma: A Novel, 3 volumes, 1st edition, printed for John Murray, 1816, half-titles present in volumes 2 and 3, that to volume 1 discarded, scattered spotting and some toning, with occasional finger-soiling, first volume with early manuscript ownership name at head (trimmed), K2 in volume 2 with short tear in blank fore-margin, marbled edges, 20th century maroon half morocco over contemporary marbled boards (rubbed), spines divided with gilt triple rules between blind scallop rolls, gilt lettered direct in second and fourth compartments, remainder with blind oval tool, large 12mo Gilson A8; Keynes 8. It has been suggested by Deirdre Le Faye, Vice-President of the Jane Austen Society, that the signature reads ‘G Grey 13 Hertford’ and might possibly be that of Sir George Grey, 1st baronet (1767-1828). He was a naval officer, became Commissioner of the Portsmouth Dockyard in 1806 and lived at the Commissioner’s Residence there until his death in 1828, and both he and his wife had religious/charitable interests. It is likely that he was well-known to Jane Austen’s brother, Captain (later Admiral) Francis Austen; they were both senior naval officers, of a similar age, lived in Portsmouth simultaneously, and both subscribed to the newly-formed Bible Societies. The signature does appear to be in a masculine hand, and presumably male ownership of a novel by an anonymous lady would have been limited to someone with some association to the author or her family. The address ’13 Hertford’ might possibly refer to Hertford Street in London, but this also is conjecture. (3)
