General Sir James Watson, K.C.B. was the son of Major John Watson, of the Royal Invalids. He was born at Chilton, Buckinghamshire, in 1772, entered the army as an ensign, 24th June 1783, and became lieutenant, 18th April 1792. He served with the 14th Regiment on the continent, under the Duke of York, in 1793 and 1794; became captain, 11th March 1795; and was engaged at the reduction of the Islands of St. Lucia and Trinidad, in 1796 and 1797. He became major, 3rd December 1802, and lieutenant-colonel, 15th May 1806. He commanded the 14th Regt.

He returned to England in 1827, and in 1830 proceeded again to the East Indies as a general officer on the staff; and, during the temporary absence of Lord William Bentinck, acted as commander-in-chief at Bengal, and returned to Europe in 1837, after a service of nearly 27 years in the East Indies. He became lieutenant-general 10th January 1837; colonel of the 14th Regiment, 24th May 1837, and general, 11th November 1851. He received a medal for Java, and was created a K.C.B. in 1839. The hilt and mounts incorporate a notable weight of gold which, along with their style and execution, suggest a place of manufacture in India or South East Asia.

˜[AP] A LANCER OFFICER~S SWORD BY PROSSER, CIRCA 1835-7 with curved blade double-edged towards the point, etched with elaborate scrolling foliage, the maker~s details ~Prosser maker to the King and Royal Family, London~, the owner~s crest, coat-of-arms and motto on one face, and with further foliage, including a lancer trophy-of-arms on the other, gilt-brass continental style hilt comprising scrolling bars, quillon and back-strap rising to the pommel and banded ivory grip (small chips) bound with plaited wire, with an early knot, in its steel scabbard with two rings for suspension 78.2 cm; 30 3/4 in blade The arms are those of Taylor of Bifrons, Kent. The absence of the Royal arms on the blade and the style of the hilt suggest that this may have been carried by an officer of the British Legion that fought in Spain during the first Carlist war (1835-7). The legion was a force of 10,000 men raised with royal permission to fight in support of Queen Christina and commanded by De Lacy Evans who was granted the rank of lieutenant-general in the Spanish army.

The Holy Grail for Gaelic Footballers G.A.A.:  Sam Maguire Cup: An exact full-size replica in silver plate of the Sam Maguire Cup, presented to the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1928 as a perpetual trophy for the All-Ireland senior football championship.  Height approx. 15 ins (38cms), diam. including handles approx. 25ins (64cms). An exact facsimile in all respects except the use of silver plate (the original is in solid silver).  A most impressive artefact, in very good condition. Sam Maguire [1877-1927] was born in Dunmanway, Co. Cork.  On leaving school he passed the UK Civil Service examination and was posted to London, where he joined other Corkmen including P.S. O?Hegarty and Michael Collins.  As a young man he was an outstanding footballer, and played in three All-Ireland finals, captaining the London (Hibernians) team in 1901 and 1903.  Later he was chairman of the London County Board and a trustee of Croke Park.  He was also prominent in the IRB and the Republican movement, and was one of those who brought Michael Collins into the IRB.  During the War of Independence he was the IRA?s Chief Intelligence Officer in Britain. In 1923 he returned to Ireland to work in the Irish Post Office, but was dismissed in December 1924, apparently for continuing IRB activities.  He suffered from TB in his later years, and died in February 1927. After his death, a group of his friends commissioned a trophy in his memory, to be presented annually to the winners of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.  It was crafted by silversmith Matthew Staunton of Hopkins and Hopkins of Dublin, on the model of the Ardagh Chalice.  It was recently listed as one of 100 artworks typifying modern Ireland.  The original is now in the GAA Museum; the trophy now presented to the All-Ireland winners is a recent facsimile. In 1928 Kildare was the first county to win the Sam Maguire Cup.  Sixteen counties have held the trophy since then; by 2019, Kerry has won it thirty times. Provenance: Commissioned by a Private Irish Collector in the 1980's. * The original Sam Maguire Cup commemorates the memory of Sam Maguire, an influential figure in the London GAA and a former footballer.  A group of his friends formed a committee in Dublin under the chairmanship of Dr Pat McCartan from Carrickmore, County Tyrone, to raise funds for a permanent commemoration of his name. They decided on a cup to be presented to the GAA. The Association were proud to accept the Cup. At the time it cost £300. The commission to make it was given to Hopkins and Hopkins, of O'Connell Bridge, Dublin. The silver cup was crafted, on behalf of Hopkins and Hopkins, by the silversmith Matthew J. Staunton of D'Olier Street, Dublin. Maitiú Standun, Staunton's son, confirmed in a letter printed in the Alive! newspaper in October 2003 that his father had indeed made the original Sam Maguire Cup back in 1928.

The Holy Grail for Hurlers G.A.A.:  Liam Mc Carthy Cup:  An exact full-size replica in silver plate of the Liam McCarthy Cup, presented to the Gaelic Athletic Association in  1922 as a perpetual trophy for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.  Height approx. 13 ins (33cms), diam. approx. 9 ins (23cms), an exact facsimile in all respects except the use of silver plate (the original is in solid silver).  In very good condition. Liam McCarthy [1853-1928] was born in London to Irish parents ? his mother was from Limerick and his father from Cork. It is said that Irish was the first language of his home.  As a young man he was a keen sportsman and hurler, and often hurled on Clapham Common.  A successful businessman, he became treasurer and president of the GAA?s London County Board, and vice president of the Gaelic League.  In 1922 he offered to commission a trophy for presentation annually to the winners of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.  It was made by Edmund Johnson Jewellers of Grafton Street, Dublin, on the model of an ancient drinking cup or mether.  The original trophy is now in the GAA Museum. In 1991 it was replaced by a facsimile for annual presentation. The trophy was first won by Limerick in 1923.  Ten different counties have held the cup;  by 2019 Kilkenny had won it 29 times. Provenance: Commissioned by a Private Irish Collector in the 1980's. *Modelled on an ancient drinking vessel, known as a mether, the Liam MacCarthy Cup was wrought by Edmund Johnson Jewellers of Grafton Street, Dublin and cost £50. The original Liam MacCarthy Cup was first won by Limerick in 1923. This was actually for the 1921 championship, which was delayed due to unrest in Ireland.

Between 1960 and 1964 Alma studied under Robert Stewart at Glasgow School of Art. Alma has exhibited at many solo and mixed British and Scottish art exhibitions. In the process Alma's paintings have won many art awards including: Barclay Lennie Award Glasgow Society of Women Artists 1995; Millers Art Prize Paisley Art Institute 1995; Southern Art Club Trophy 1995 &1998; Alva Purchase Prize SAAC 1998; Save the Children Award 2000. Alma loves painting 'en plein air' in the Scottish country and seaside. She produces compelling paintings in both oil and watercolours. Wolfson's painterly approach is suited and used to great effect when painting Landscape or Seascapes. But she is equally at home producing beautiful Still Life paintings. For the last 30 years she spent time on the tiny island of Easdale on Scotland's west coast. Much of her landscape work has been inspired by this remote part of Argyll where Alma is a familiar sight on the island often seen as a tiny figure sitting wrapped up against the elements in front of a large canvas.

She was part of a new generation of racing yachts, the new 19m Class which was a descendant of the historic Big Class racing and a precursor of the J-Class which arrived in the 1930s. In the early 1990s Mariquita went through major restoration (by Fairlie Restorations) and once re-built she set sale again taking part in countless regattas including Monaco Classic Week, Regates Royales Cannes and Les Voiles de Saint Tropez. In 2014 she was victorious, taking home the Big Boat Panerai Trophy. Mariquita's timeless elegance and incredible pedigree has contributed to her being widely regarded as one of the most beautiful historic racing yachts afloat today.

The ex-David Shale, Tony Lanfranchi, Arthur Carter1955 Austin-Healey 100S Sports-Racing Two-SeaterRegistration no. EVV 106Chassis no. AHS 3509•One of only four UK-supplied examples•Extensive in-period competition history•Extensively documented from new•Part of the Arthur Carter Collection for 42 years•Present ownership since 2014Footnotes:'The prime motive of all our competition motoring was to generate publicity that would increase sales of the production model, the '100'... We were under pressure from distributors, particularly in America, to build specially prepared cars to meet demands from customers.' – Geoffrey Healey, The Healey Story. Thus was born the fabled 100S, one of the rarest and most highly sought after of all Austin-Healey sports cars. Donald Healey's stylish Austin-Healey 100 had caused a sensation when it debuted at the 1952 London Motor Show. Intended as a low-cost, high-performance, limited production sports car and aimed at the US market, which took almost 100% of production initially, the Austin-Healey 100 sourced its major components from the Austin Atlantic saloon. In fact, the car first appeared at Earls Court badged as a 'Healey Hundred' and was re-badged 'Austin-Healey' while still on its stand after Austin boss Leonard Lord bought the rights to the design. It was just as well that he did, for Healey would take over 3,000 orders during the Show yet his company had never made more than 200 cars in a single year!Lord had been happy to agree to supply Austin Atlantic components as the model had not been selling well in its intended market - the USA - and was scheduled for deletion. Low-revving and torquey, the Atlantic's 2,660cc four-cylinder engine produced an unremarkable 90bhp but when installed in the lighter and more streamlined Healey the result was a genuine 100mph-plus car capable of reaching 60mph in under 11 seconds. A three-speed gearbox equipped with overdrive on the top two ratios was an unusual feature of the original BN1, which was superseded by the short-lived, conventional four-speed BN2 for 1956. In 1953 a team of drivers including Donald Healey and George Eyston set a host of international and AMA speed records at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats driving two Healey 100s. Highlights including a maximum speed of 143.626mph and 1,000 kilometres at an average of 127.00mph achieved by the tuned car and 24 hours at an average of 104.3mph set by the AMA-selected 'off-the-showroom-floor' example. A muscular sports car to delight the purist, the 100 was not bettered by its six-cylinder successors in terms of outright performance until the introduction of the Austin-Healey 3000 in 1959. The project that would culminate in the 100S model began in 1953 when the factory began preparing the Austin-Healey 100 for competition. Dunlop disc brakes were one of the first important upgrades, followed in 1954 by the adoption of a Weslake-designed, 'single-port', aluminium cylinder head. Instead of the three-speed overdrive gearbox of the standard production model, the 100S was fitted with the new C-series four-speed unit. Healey's body suppliers, Jensen, built the 100S bodies in aluminium, the slightly different frontal treatment with its smaller oval radiator intake having been arrived at during development. There was no weather equipment, merely a low Perspex windscreen, while another of the model's distinctive features was its seats with their vertically slotted backs. A 20-gallon fuel tank filled the boot. Weighing 2,960lb (891kg) and with a claimed 132bhp on tap from its tuned engine, the 100S was good for a top speed of around 130mph (210km/h). When a prototype driven by Lance Macklin and George Huntoon finished an excellent 3rd overall at the Sebring 12-Hour Race in March 1954, it seemed only logical that the competition version should be called the 100S. The new car was premiered at the London Motor Show in October 1954 with deliveries commencing in February '55. Austin-Healey's contemporary advertising made much of the recent successful speed record attempt at Bonneville, Utah where a prototype had run for 24 hours, averaging 132.2mph. Excluding prototypes and 'Special Test Cars' to 100S specification, only 55 production versions were made, all being completed during 1955 and all with right-hand drive, most of which were despatched new to the USA. At most only 38 are believed to survive today.During the 1950s the Austin-Healey 100S was most accessible, most appealing and in many cases the most successful club-racing car available to any aspiring racing driver. This particularly appealing, and highly successful in period, Austin-Healey 100S is a shining example of the type. It has an outstanding record as a club-racing contender over a seven-year period from 1955 to 1962. 'EVV 106' was distinguished almost from new by two distinctive features. Firstly – as required by first owner David Shale – the car was equipped with an Aston Martin gearbox during production. And within days of its delivery to David Shale in February 1955 he had its paintwork changed from the standard Old English White over Lobelia Blue to British Racing Green, a colour that it wears to this day. The car was first UK road registered on 2nd March 1955, and evidence of its early paint change survives in a photograph of the car taken at one of its maiden outings in Mr Shale's hands, at the British Empire Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in April 1955.From 1955 to the present day, 'EVV 106' has had only seven owners: David Shale (1955-57), Mike Kellett (1957-58), the future multiple British club-racing champion Tony Lanfranchi (1958-1960), and the last of its great club-racing owners Derek Buller-Sinfield (1961-62). The retired warhorse was then acquired by Norfolk farmer-cum-noted Austin-Healey collector Arthur Carter, in whose hands it was preserved and maintained for the following 42 years, before being acquired by the immediately preceding owner in 2004. Furthermore, 'EVV 106' is one of only four 100S models originally sold and raced in the UK home market, and has the distinction of being domiciled in the UK since new.David Shale drove the car in its club racing debut outing at Goodwood Motor Circuit on 26th March 1955, finishing 2nd, and on 30th May 1956 took a 3rd place at the short-lived Davidstow aerodrome circuit in Cornwall. After failing to finish in the higher-level British Empire Trophy race meeting in April, he recorded four fine race wins, the first at Aintree and subsequently three at Silverstone. Never averse to compiling many road miles on the way to (and from) club race meetings around the British mainland he also achieved 2nd-place finishes at Brands Hatch in Kent, Mallory Park in Leicestershire, Snetterton in Norfolk and Davidstow. He also added a 3rd place at Brands Hatch and two more at Silverstone to the car's growing list of club race laurels. David Shale finished the season as runner-up in the 1956 Autosport Championship.The car was then acquired by second owner Mike Kellett, in whose hands a 2nd place was achieved at Croft in September 1957 and a 3rd at Marston Moor, followed in 1958 by 2nd and 4th-place results at Full Sutton, the very fast Yorkshire aerodrome circuit. Overall, it was raced at least 18 times in his ownership and remained a competitive contender against newer opposition.Tony Lanfranchi, from Huddersfield, then acquired the car and learned much about his chosen sport in it before going on to become one of the most colourful characters of the British and international motor racing scene. In 'EVV 106' he won the 1959 Catterick hill-climb, and 3rd places in the Burton Sprint and at the Mallory Park circuit.

PB 3544•Originally a saloon by Harrison•Present ownership since 1987•Carefully stored for the last 25 years•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:W O Bentley proudly displayed the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. In only mildly developed form, this was the model which was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery has become the archetypal vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model). However, by the middle of the decade the 3-Litre's competitiveness was on the wane and this, together with the fact that too many customers had been tempted to fit unsuitably heavy coachwork to the excellent 3-Litre chassis rather than accept the expense and complexity of Bentley's 6½-Litre 'Silent Six', led to the introduction of the '4½'. The new 4½-Litre model effectively employed the chassis, transmission and brakes of the 3-Litre, combined with an engine that was in essence two-thirds of the six-cylinder 6½-litre unit. Thus the new four-cylinder motor retained the six's 100x140mm bore/stroke and Bentley's familiar four-valves-per-cylinder fixed-'head architecture, but reverted to the front-end vertical camshaft drive of the 3-Litre. Bentley Motors lost no time in race-proving its new car. It is believed that the first prototype engine went into the 3-Litre chassis of the 1927 Le Mans practice car. Subsequently this same engine was fitted to the first production 4½-Litre chassis for that year's Grand Prix d'Endurance at the Sarthe circuit. The original 4½-Litre car, nicknamed by the team 'Old Mother Gun' and driven by Frank Clement and Leslie Callingham, promptly set the fastest race lap of 73.41mph before being eliminated in the infamous 'White House Crash' multiple pile-up. The 4½-Litre was produced for four years, all but ten of the 667 cars being built on the 3-Litre's 'Long Standard', 10' 10'-wheelbase chassis. Purchasers of the 4½-Litre model were, in common with those of all Vintage-period Bentleys, free to specify their preferences from a very considerable range of mechanical and electrical equipment, in addition to whatever body style and coachbuilder might be required. This 4½-Litre Bentley is one of the 657 built on the long (10' 10') chassis and originally carried saloon coachwork by R Harrison & Son of Stanhope Street, London NW1, a relative stone's throw from Bentley's factory in Cricklewood. Its first owner was one E B Graham and the Bentley retains its original registration, 'GC 7379'. At an unknown date, the original body was removed and a Vanden Plas-style tourer body fitted.'GC 7379' was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband in 1987 (carbon-copy purchase invoice on file). The history file's contents show that various works were undertaken thereafter, including replacing the wheel hubs, rebuilding the wheels, and other mechanical refurbishment as detailed in sundry invoices. Its late owner used the Bentley to attend shows and rallies, and drove the car as often as he could; indeed, he attempted to use all his cars at least once a month. The vendor's husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused thereafter. This car, together with others from the same vendor, has been standing for up to 25 years and like the others, was running and usable when laid-up. They were all stored in a purpose-built, heated and dehumidified building, which the deceased gentleman had commissioned solely for the purpose of housing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. Presently on SORN, the Bentley is equipped with a full hood, hood cover, and tonneau cover. Accompanying documentation includes a current V5C; a copy old V5; a quantity of expired MoT certificates; some photographs; an original Bentley 4½-Litre sales brochure; miscellaneous papers; and the aforementioned assorted invoices, etc. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1928 Bentley 6½-Litre TourerRegistration no. PF 6205Chassis no. TW2702•Competed in the first BDC race at Brooklands in 1936•Modified and tuned by L C 'Mac' McKenzie•Present ownership since 1990•Carefully stored for the last 25 yearsFootnotes:With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motor sport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory. W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four-valves per cylinder, and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. However, by the middle of the decade the 3-Litre's competitiveness was on the wane and this, together with the fact that too many customers had been tempted to fit unsuitably heavy coachwork to the excellent 3-Litre chassis, led to the introduction in 1926 of a larger car: the 6½-Litre. Known as the 'Silent Six', the latter perpetuated the 3-Litre's mechanical theme but with greatly increased refinement. Although the 6½-Litre had been conceived as a touring car to compete with Rolls-Royce's New Phantom, in Speed Six form it proved admirably suited to competition: in 1929 Barnato/Birkin's Speed Six won the Le Mans 24 Hour Race ahead of a trio of 4½-Litre Bentleys, while Barnato/Kidston repeated the feat in the following year's Grand Prix d'Endurance at the Sarthe circuit ahead of similarly-mounted Clement/Watney. Small wonder then, that the fast yet refined 6½-Litre Speed Six was W O Bentley's favourite car. The 6½-Litre was produced for four years, during which time 544 chassis were completed, the Standard/Speed Six split being 362/182. This particular 6½-Litre, registration number 'PF 6205', is one of only 21 erected on the short standard ST1 (11') chassis. First owned by H B Pope of Woking, the car is illustrated in Dr Clare Hay's Bentley: The Vintage Years (illustration 122 in the 1997 edition). The notes to the illustration state: 'A drop-head coupé by Freestone & Webb, here fitted to a 11' 0' chassis photographed February 1927. By elimination this would appear to be Chassis no. TW2702, originally registered PF 6205. The body is described as a Weymann pattern leather covered sports, the very compact appearance disguising the size well. PF 6205 was rebuilt by McKenzie for Noel Sissons, with raised compression and triple carbs, and took part in the first all-Bentley race at Brooklands in 1936. The chassis was later reregistered as PPH 222 with a two-seater body, which has since been restored as a four-seater and re-reregistered PF 6205.' An earlier (1985) edition of Hay notes the owner at that time as one R T E Creswell Esq.Another document on file states that the original Freestone & Webb body was replaced in the mid-1930s with a lighter sports body for competition work. The engine was said to have been modified and tuned by the ace Bentley tuner L C 'Mac' McKenzie to produce more power that the 'Works' Speed Six cars. 'PF 6205' was not only said to have competed in the first BDC race at Brooklands in 1936 and but also at the Lewes Speed Trials. The aforementioned Richard Timothy E Cresswell is recorded as previous keeper on an old V5 in the history file, which also contains two old log books, an RF60 dating from 17th February 1954, and a VE60 dating from 6th April 1976, both relating to the registration 'PPH 222', chassis number 'BR1234', and engine number 'WK2675'. An auction listing included in the history file suggests that the car was 're-registered as PPH 222, presumably (as was done in many cases) to take advantage of the £10.00 tax concession, but the present owner restored the registration in 1984'. Given the different chassis number recorded in these logbooks, it would seem that the car was not reregistered, but simply run carrying the plates belonging to 'PPH 222'!The history file contains a photocopy of a Bentley ledger recording the car's history up to 1937 and includes a reference to an accident in 1932, which may be when it was first re-bodied. Another type of body appears to have been fitted when it was masquerading as 'PPH 222', while another photocopied photograph in the history file has been inscribed 'Lewes Speed Trials 1937 Autocar' and shows the 'PF 6205' registration. In the 23rd November 1988 issue of Autocar & Motor, 'PF 6205' was road-tested alongside the then current Bentley Turbo R (copy on file).'PF 6205' was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband in February 1990 (purchase invoice on file). Its late owner used the Bentley to attend shows and rallies, and drove the car as often as he could; indeed, he attempted to use all his cars at least once a month.This car, together with others from the same vendor, has been standing for up to 25 years and like the others, was running and usable when laid-up. The vendor's husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused thereafter. They were all stored in a purpose-built, heated and dehumidified building, which the deceased gentleman had commissioned solely for the purpose of housing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. Presently on SORN, the Bentley is equipped with a full hood, hood cover, and tonneau cover, and is fitted with triple SU carburettors. Accompanying documentation includes a current V5C; an old V5; a quantity of expired MoT certificates; some photographs; miscellaneous papers; and the aforementioned invoice and copy items.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
