SOUTH AFRICAN PRESTIGE STAFFS OR CANES & TWO CLUBS (7)The Late Neville Kingston Collection of Tribal ArtRogers Jones are delighted to offer the selected objects from the collection of the late Neville Kingston, formerly of London.Philip Keith who is a regional valuer with the Welsh auction house is one of the UK’s foremost authorities on ethnographic antiques and the co-author of ‘Tribal Art – The Essential World Guide’. This is the first tribal collection that has been entered for auction at Rogers Jones & Co since Philip joined the firm at the beginning of the year. The collection has been split into two auctions with the more important items featuring in the September Selections & Collections auction.The collection is huge in its variety of ethnographic objects from Africa, South Asia, South America and the Pacific attesting to Neville’s interest in the material culture from all regions of the non-western world.Items of note include two rare and beautiful bows from the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean together with two bundles of carved and coloured arrows from the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, as well as intricately bound, delicate Amazonian reed arrows contained in two lightweight quivers.The standout Polynesian lot is an intricately carved ritual paddle from the Austral Islands. These paddles were carved using steel tools traded with European sailors up until the 1840s and are classic expressions of early cross-cultural exchange.For the decorators market, there are two large New Guinea war shields carved with stylised curvilinear designs in bold colours, an enigmatic and beautifully weathered temple roof element from Cambodia and an amazing purple feathered headdress from the Bamileke people of Cameroon, traditionally worn with a beaded cloth elephant effigy costume.The standout African sculpture is a wonderfully stylised iagalagana figure from the Mumuye people of the Benue river region of Nigeria. These etiolated figures with their wrap around arms and of rounded form are the height of fashion amongst collectors and sure to raise international interest.The collection has been entered by his daughter who said:"Neville Kingston was a noted collector of Central Asian textiles and carpets. He combined this with his full time job as a veterinary surgeon, specialising in pigs, a skill which took him around the world from his East Yorkshire base. However, in 2008, his attention was caught by some central and west African ethnographica while he was waiting on the phone to bid for a textile in an auction in Salisbury.The auctioneer persuaded him to bid on the lots “just to start the bidding” and he ended up with his first group of African tribal art. From there began a fascination with this art, with Neville building up a library of books and subscriptions to journals and auction catalogues, in order to learn more about this art form which is under appreciated in the UK. He became a frequent visitor at Parcours in Paris where the enthusiasm was infectious. Although Neville’s first love was always carpets and textiles, he was fascinated by this other form of tribal art and started buying whatever he could, mainly at local auctions. As a newcomer to this world, he bought whatever he could as a means to studying and extending his knowledge."
One owner from new 1994 Triumph 885cc Daytona Super IIIRegistration no. M540 JTAFrame no. SMTTC310GMS017064Engine no. G017255Unveiled at the Cologne Show in the autumn of 1990, the born-again Triumph range consisted of three- and four-cylinder models named after iconic models of the past: Daytona, Trophy, and Trident. The most sporting of these were the Daytonas, which by 1993 had been rationalised as the three-cylinder 900 and four-cylinder 1200 models. Introduced in 1994, the limited-edition Super III was Triumph's attempt to elevate the Daytona's performance to a point where it could challenge the Japanese opposition. Cosworth were recruited to provide the required power increase, raising maximum output to 118bhp (up from 98). A liberal application of carbon fibre knocked a couple of pounds off the weight, while the Super III's six-piston 'brick wall' brakes received copious praise. Now, a quarter of a century later, these early Hinckley Triumphs are becoming increasingly collectible, and none more so than the limited-edition Super III. This example was purchased new by the vendor from Bridge Motorcycle World in Exeter. Regularly serviced and MoT'd, kept in a heated garage and only ridden in dry weather, the Daytona has covered only some 17,500 miles from new and comes with a complete file of history (inspection recommended) and its original tools, keys, and handbook. Presented in excellent original condition throughout, it represents a wonderful opportunity to own one of these rare limited-edition Super IIIsFootnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The ex-Dickie Dale 1954 NSU 247cc Sportmax Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 215515Engine no. 789 854R•Bought by Dickie Dale from Jack Forrest in 1958•Present ownership for 32 years•Restored in the 1980s•Running conditionFrom the start of the 1955 season, the NSU Sportmax was simply the fastest over-the-counter 250-class racer on the market. As well as providing works-supported rider Hermann Müller with the 1955 250cc World Championship, the Sportmax was one of the most competitive lightweights of any kind available to the privateer, and in the right hands proved capable of a respectable showing in national events well into the 1960s. Other prominent stars Sportmax-mounted for '55 included John Surtees, Sammy Miller, Pierre Monneret and former NSU works rider Hans Baltisburger, while later in the decade an up-and-coming Mike Hailwood used the ex-Surtees example to spectacularly good effect. Some sources estimate the total number of Sportmaxes produced to be 34, with a number of others constructed from spare parts after the NSU race shop was closed and sold off in the late 1950s. Today genuine examples such as that offered here are keenly sought after by collectors. This Sportmax was purchased by its preceding owner, John Leatham, from the estate of the late Dickie Dale following his tragic death at the Nürburgring in 1961. Born in Lincolnshire, Dale was a regular Grand Prix competitor throughout the 1950s, the highlights of his career being second places in the 350cc World Championship behind his Moto Guzzi team-mate, Bill Lomas, in 1955 and '56. Dale acquired the NSU from Australian rider Jack Forrest soon after the 1958 Isle of Man TT and rode it for the first time at the Post-TT meeting at Mallory Park that season.Leatham took the NSU with him when he moved from his native Ireland to Canada in the early 1960s. He raced the Sportmax in Canada before taking it off the track and restoring it in the 1980s. Kept in John Leatham's living room following restoration, the machine was purchased directly from him by the current owner in the late 1980s.This particular machine, frame number '215515', falls in the sequence of other well-known examples, '215516' being the ex-Terry Hill machine and '215517' the ex-Surtees/Hailwood bike). In highly original condition, the Sportmax features Weinmann wheel rims, replacing the original Borranis which were included in updates made when 'loaned' bikes were returned to the factory for rebuilding at the end of the 1955 season. Restored in the 1980s, the machine was last started in 2018 and is presented in running condition. A substantial quantity of valuable mainly engine spares and tools are included in the sale (list available) together with a Sportmax instruction book.

1954 Mi-Val 125ccFrame no. 40467Engine no. 54387One of Italy's lesser known marques, Mi-Val (Metalmeccanica Italiana Valtrompio) started out as a manufacturer of machine tools and built motorcycles - mainly lightweights - from 1950 to circa 1967. Its first motorcycle was a copy of the immensely influential pre-war DKW RT125. The firm produced its own engines, both two-stroke and four-stroke types, some of the latter featuring twin overhead camshafts, and supplied power units to Norman for its Nippy III moped. It also built the Messerschmitt 'bubblecar' under license as the Mivalino. Looking very much like the lightweight MV Agusta two-strokes of the same period, this stylish 125cc model appears to be an example Mi-Val's RT125 clone. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an Italian registration document (1960). It should be noted that the engine has been changed. Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1953 Aermacchi 125NFrame no. 12517886Engine no. illegibleA household name among motorcyclists thanks to its heroic achievement of producing the most highly developed and successful overhead-valve racing single ever, Aermacchi was a relative latecomer to motorcycle manufacture, building its first in the late 1940s. Designed by Lino Tonti, previously with Benelli, the 125 was a scooter-like machine with open frame, which was powered by a 123cc two-stroke engine that was mounted horizontally and pivoted with the rear suspension. Unlike most scooters, the Aermacchi used 17' wheels, so handled more like a conventional motorcycle. Fuel was carried in a tank under the seat, the forward compartment being intended for tools or luggage. By 1953 there were three versions on offer: the base model U, deluxe N and M sports roadster, the latter boasting a fuel tank in the conventional motorcycle position. This rare early Aermacchi is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1957 Aermacchi Zeffiro (see text)Frame no. 552337Engine no. 552337Aermacchi was a relative latecomer to motorcycle manufacture, building its first in the late 1940s. Designed by Lino Tonti, previously with Benelli, the 125 was a scooter-like machine with open frame, which was powered by a 123cc two-stroke engine that was mounted horizontally and pivoted with the rear suspension. Unlike most scooters, the Aermacchi used 17' wheels, so handled more like a conventional motorcycle. Fuel was carried in a tank under the seat, the forward compartment being intended for tools or luggage. The ultimate development of these early open-frame scooter-like Aermacchis was the Zeffiro, which featured greatly improved styling and a telescopic front fork. The newcomer was also available as the Zeffiro 150, with 147.9cc engine. This rare early Aermacchi is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot. It is not known if the machine is a 125 or a 150.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
