1924 LaFayette Model 134 Coupe- Supplied new to the proprietor of a steam locomotive company in North Georgia and purchased from his son by the vendor- Extensively restored to as near original specification as possible at a cost of circa $200,000- A rival to the likes of the Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost and priced accordingly when new- 1 of just 441 Model 134 cars made during 1924 of all bodystyles- Designed by a group of ex-Cadillac engineers including the Scottish-born D. McCall White who masterminded its 5.7 litre V8 engineEstimate: £25,000 - £35,000 (Without Reserve)Founded during 1919 and based in Mars Hill, Indiana, the LaFayette Motors Company boasted the technical expertise of none other than D'Orsay McCall White. An expat Glaswegian, McCall White served as chief engineer to the Daimler Motor Car Company, D. Napier & Son (where he designed a Land Speed Record car) and Crossley Motors before emigrating to the USA. Personally responsible for devising Cadillac's first V8 engine, the Type 51, he later became the company's vice president and was one of three people entrusted with developing the V12 Liberty aircraft engine during World War One. Drawing upon his aeronautical experience, the 348ci (5.7 litre) V8 engine that McCall White created for the LaFayette Model 134 featured a hollow case crankshaft weighing just 30.5lbs, air-pressurised fuel delivery system (no need for an Autovac / vacuum tank), internally driven accessories using Morse type chains (hence the lack of external pulleys / belts), twin crankshaft-driven back-to-back water pumps, manifolding routed through the cylinder block and a dual exhaust system to the rear of the car which resulted in low back pressure. Fed by a multi-jet carburettor (another of his innovations), the sophisticated powerplant developed 100bhp @ 2,750rpm and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, worm and sector steering, fully floating back axle and rear wheel brakes, the Model 134 also incorporated thermostatically controlled radiator shutters (a distinct novelty at the time). Relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin when Charles Nash of Nash Motors acquired control in 1923, LaFayette nevertheless ceased production the following year. Available in Touring, Sedan, Coupe, Torpedo, Roadster and Limousine guises, a mere 2,267 Model 134 cars were produced. Competition amid luxury car makers during the 1920s was particularly fierce. For all its engineering excellence LaFayette struggled to poach customers from established giants such as Cadillac and Packard especially as the Model 134 was more expensive than the former's offerings and on a par price wise with the latter's; the Four-Door Coupe model costing a princely $4,300 in 1924. The survival rate for LaFayette Model 134 cars has been estimated at just one percent!Finished in Dark Green over Black with Red pinstriping and Grey cloth upholstery, this particular Milwaukee-built example - chassis 2978 - wears Four-Door Coupe coachwork by the Seaman Body Corporation (number 31178). One of a pair of Model 134 cars supplied new to North Georgian steam locomotive manufacturer James Bulan Glover (the other being a Torpedo), it remained in his family until entering the current ownership during 2001. Dry stored in a basement for the previous seventy years, the LaFayette was complete but in need of a full restoration. Displayed `as found' at the Nash Car Club of America's 2002 Grand Nashional meeting, it caused an understandable stir. The vendor estimates that acquiring and refurbishing the Model 134 has cost him some $200,000. Rewired, repainted, retrimmed and treated to a thorough mechanical overhaul, the work took NCCA member Ben Bliss over three years to complete. Undeniably handsome, the Four-Door Coupe body sports a distinctive, prism-like windscreen, LaFayette calormeter, integral luggage trunk, LaFayette Motors Corporation Milwaukee hubcaps and twin rear-mounted spare wheels. To the interior, the well-stocked dashboard is complimented by a wooden steering wheel, wooden window frames, nickel-silver door furniture and blinds to the rear windows. Sparingly used since its completion save for a few rally outings, chassis 2978 is quite possibly the finest Model 134 in existence. Offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise), UK V5C Registration Document, FIVA Identity Card, bill of sale from Mr Glover's son (a distant relative of Teddy Roosevelt) and sundry paperwork.
FANTE ASAFO FLAG: IT IS A FOOLISH LION WHO DARES CHALLENGE THE ELEPHANT GHANA, C.1940 Silk applique flag, a lion is shown biting an elephant's trunk, on a pink background with a red, white and blue checked border and Union Jack 186.5x135.5cm Please note; Framed by John Jones to museum quality, the flag is mounted on a cotton backing and presented in a wooden frame. Beginning in the 17th century, the Fante groups which inhabited the south-west coast of modern-day Ghana formed military and political units known as 'asafo' (deriving from sa, meaning war, and fo, meaning people). Each unit developed elaborate traditions of visual art, most striking of all the flags shown here. These comprised of bold naïve imagery appliqued onto a cotton background, they commonly depict indigenous proverbs which relate closely to the commissioning Asafo group. With the British conquest of the region in 1856 many Asafo groups incorporated versions of the Union Jack into the flag to enhance the power of the imagery. The present example is associated with the proverb "It is a foolish lion who dares challenge the elephant" - in this case "Elephant" company is taunting a rival "Lion" company.

A Victorian walnut twin weight regulator wall clock, with two-train striking movement. Height 134 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The pediment has a stress fracture below the top turned finial. There is a scuff to one of the half round mouldings. The trunk door is in generally good order and not warped. The sides of the case are in good condition. The base is complete with the bottom moulding which is missing its tip. There is a small veneer loss to the front bottom edge of the case. We have the pendulum, key and both weights. We do not have the second hand. The movement winds on both trains. We have not had the clock running.
A George III oak longcase clock, by William Abbott Sarson, with two-train striking movement and date aperture, dial width 28 cm, the case with caddy top above a glazed door and long trunk door. Height 203 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The hood is in very good condition. There is a small loss to the bottom left hand corner of the left hand column. The trunk door is in good condition and is not warped. The sides of the trunk are in good condition. The base is structurally sound. The lower plinth is likely to be an old but later replacement. The mask around the dial appears to fit and we do not think that the clock is a marriage. The movement winds on both trains, strikes when advanced and is currently ticking away. We do not have the second hand. The date appears to advance as it should.
A George III oak longcase clock, William Glover, Worcester, with eight day striking movement, dial width 30.5 cm, the case with moulded cornice, blind fretwork frieze, long trunk door and raised on bracket feet. Height 216 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The dial and movement are very clean. The movement winds on both trains and is ticking away and striking as it should. The date seems to operate when the movement is advanced manually. The case is in generally good condition with no significant issues. The hood is in generally good order. The left hand panel has an old vertical stress fracture. The door has a slight warp at the bottom left hand corner but in our opinion this is not problematic. The plinth panel has vertical stress fractures. The backboards are original.
An Edwardian inlaid mahogany longcase clock, with three-train spring driven movement striking on five gongs. Height including finial 216 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The case is in extremely good condition with no significant issues. The hood is in good order. The top door is not warped. The glass is original. The fretwork panels to each side have very minor losses but nothing significant. The trunk door is in good order and not warped. The base has some minor scuffs around the legs and bottom moulding as one would expect but again no significant problems. The dial is very clean. The movement strikes correctly when advanced. The movement winds on all three trains it also ticks when the escapement is moved. Unfortunately we do not have the short pendulum that should be with this clock. The movement is Gustav Becker. There is no evidence of any worm to the case. On the left hand side of the case there are two dowelled repairs these look to correspond with knots in the side timber.
A George III mahogany longcase clock by John Wyke of Liverpool, with mahogany and marquetry case, with brass finial above the swans neck pediment in turn above the arched glazed door enclosing the 13" arched dial with moon phase and two-train striking movement flanked by fluted columns in turn above a foliate carved frieze and long trunk door with marquetry depicting The Passage of Time, commerce and other images, flanked by fluted quarter column corners, the base with urn and cover foliate marquetry and all raised on four angled carved lions paw feet. Height including brass finial 252 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock case is in extremely good order. The hood should have four turned wooden finials, the rear two are missing. Other than this and minor veneer stress fractures the hood is in first class condition. The door has some nibbles around the lock escutcheon. The mask that should be around the dial is completely missing. The dial does however seem to fit the glazed aperture. The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away and keeping good time. The second hand is detached but we have it. The trunk door is not warped and closes as it should. The inlay is in generally very good condition to all parts of the case. There are some old faint stress fractures to the base panel. The feet are all in good order. The backboards are original. Clearly the inlay to the case may well be later, it is however a very impressive clock. We have a door key and winder.

A Georgian walnut longcase clock by Godfrie Poy of London, with two-train striking movement and silvered brass arched dial, the case with caddy top, with long trunk door and stepped base. Height 270 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The case hood is in generally reasonably good condition. There are some minor nibbles to the veneers and stress fractures to the caddy top. The top cornice has a small loss to the front left hand corner. The door is not warped. The glazed side panels are in good condition. The beaded moulding beneath the brass capitals has a significant loss to the left hand return and a smaller loss to the right. The sides of the trunk are in good condition. The door has a very slight warp around the top left hand corner but in our opinion this is not particularly problematic. The base is in generally good condition with only minor nibbles to the veneers, old stress fractures and small losses. There are the usual scuffs to the base moulding. Whilst the mask around the dial fits reasonably, in our opinion the case and movement are likely to be a marriage. There is packing to either side of the seatboard. We do not have a pendulum with this clock and have not had the movement running. When weight is applied to the going train the movement appears to operate it is should however it is extremely dirty. The strike mechanism runs when the movement is advanced however it is not striking correctly and requires some attention.The case hood is in generally reasonably good condition.
