Lot 1672
An oak dresser base, with two short drawers with brass swans neck handles and open section below, raised on turned legs. Height 76 cm, width 138 cm, depth 45.5 cm.The dresser base is structurally sound. The top is flat with no splits and no significant scuffs, marks or scratches. The drawer fronts are in good condition as is the cockbeading and crossbanding. The brass drop handles would appear to be original. The shaped apron is in good condition all round. The pot board shelf is a little scuffed and marked through use. All legs are in generally good condition with no significant scuffs, marks or damage. There are some traces of old very long gone woodworm to the drawer sides, none of which in our opinion is problematic. As regards the age of the piece it is certainly 19th century and possibly earlier, however as the piece has clearly been re-polished in more recent times it is a little difficult to tell. The boards in the drawers and inside certainly have age, but to be on the safe side we shall stick with 19th century.

Registration No: DOC 314C Frame No: C1S43257 MOT: ExemptAll matching engine and frame numbers machineRestored throughout 201912v conversion during the rebuildLarge file of paperwork and a current V5C on fileManufactured by BSA from September 1958 until 1967, the C15 was BSA's first four-stroke unit-construction bike. For most of that period, after the introduction of 'Learner Laws' in 1961, a 250cc was the largest capacity solo machine that a learner could ride unaccompanied when displaying L-plates in the United Kingdom. A road-going sports derivative was added in 1961 and off-road versions, for Trials and Scrambles, were also available in the range. This very smart 1965 BSA C15 was fully restored to a very high standard in 2019. There is a memory stick full of pictures of the restoration and work that has been carried out. The quality of work is a credit to the previous owner and still presents very well. The current vendor purchased the C15 for his collection and has not used it since his ownership began in 2021. With some general checks advised before putting it back on the road, the BSA comes with a folder full of paperwork, the old RF60 logbook, Haynes and a parts manual.

Nicholas Goodison in ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 notes that John Bennett worked up until 1768 and illustrates an undated trade card indicating that he was located at 'The Globe, Crown Court, between St. Ann's, Soho, and Golden Square'. Bennett was a fine maker who held warrants to three members of the Royal Family and most likely had a working relationship with the eminent scientific instrument maker Jonathan Sisson.

Balthazar Knie is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 and Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working in Cork, Ireland from 1773 before moving to Edinburgh in 1776 where he remained until his death in 1817. He was born in Germany and spent several years travelling around Europe demonstrating his skills as a glass blower and barometer maker before finally settling in Edinburgh. He gained a considerable local reputation as a maker and repairer of barometers (and sand glasses including for maritime use). Knie was a notably inventive maker who is perhaps best known for developing a form of angle tube barometer which, by introducing a second acute angle bend into the tube, resulted in a more compact design (see Goodison, page 171, Plate 107); a very similar instrument to the present is illustrated by Goodison on page 175 (plates 112-13).

The silvering is in fine condition with nice even colour and the Vernier slide is in working condition.

Provenance:The Dr. Castle Collection of barometers and other weather instruments. Purchased at Dickens Fine Art Auctioneers, Middle Claydon, sale of the THE RICHARD COOKSON COLLECTION 20th April 2008 (lot 78) for £440 hammer. Thomas William Watson is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as an optical, philosophical and mathematical instrument maker working from 4 Pall Mall, London 1878-84. The origins of this type of Storm Glass are unknown with Admiral Fitzroy in his 1863 publication The Weather Book noting that 'the inventor is now uncertain; but they were sold on old London Bridge, at the sign of the Goat and Compasses'. He studied them as curiosities and suggested that they served to indicate what he termed 'electrical tension' in the wind, hence were potentially useful as meteorological instruments. Edwin Banfield in BAROMETERS, Stick or Cistern Tube adds that such instruments are really an irregular form of thermometric barometer, and goes on to list the recipe for the contents of the tube which contains water, alcohol, ammonium chloride, potassium nitrate and camphor. The solution, once prepared, would then exhibit changes in the form of cloudiness, crystal formation etc. signifying atmospheric conditions as per the indications listed on the panel. Condition Report: Tube is filled with fluid. The glass panel has an edge chip at the centre of the lower margin otherwise is in fine condition with overall light wear to the annotations only. The case is in fine original condition with faults limited to slight shrinkage and other age-related blemishes; the rear panel has replacement securing screws. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE EARLY VICTORIAN SCOTTISH MAHOGANY BOWFRONTED MERCURY STICK BAROMETERADIE AND SON, EDINBURGH, CIRCA 1835With domed gadroon carved domed caddy surmount over concave cornice and glazed rectangular silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches to right hand side opposing the usual observations to the left beneath signature Adie & Son, Edinburgh to upper margin, with straight bowfronted trunk beneath terminating in an conforming inverted reeded caddy cistern cover with stepped ogee top mouldings and leafy bud pendant incorporating a level adjustment disc to underside.107cm (42ins) high, 10cm (4ins) wide. Alexander Adie is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as born 1774 and apprenticed to his uncle, the eminent Scottish instrument maker John Miller, in 1789. In 1804 his uncle took him into partnership under the name of Miller and Adie which continued until after Miller's death in 1815. Adie was particularly interested in meteorological instruments and is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Sympiesometer in 1818. In recognition of his work he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He was appointed optician to William IV and later Queen Victoria and took one of his sons, John, into partnership in 1835. Two of his other sons set up businesses; Robert in Liverpool and Patrick in London. Unfortunately John Adie was prone to 'fits of despondency' which resulted in him shooting himself in 1857, Alexander Adie died the following year - no doubt expediated by the stress of his son's demise. Condition Report: Instrument is generally in very fine condition. The tube is filled with no apparent airlocks however the mercury column will almost reach the top of the tube when the instrument is reclined slightly suggesting the presence of a very small amount of air. The scale is in fine condition with nice slightly mellowed colour to the silvering; the Vernier slide is in working order. The case is in very fine condition with the only notable fault being some edge wear to the small section of cavetto moulding applied to the left-hand upper edge of the cistern assembly. The finial is probably a replacement; faults are otherwise very much limited to very light age related wear and blemishes. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FINE GEORGE III EBONY BANDED MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETER WITH HYGROMETERCARY, LONDON, CIRCA 1800The case with swan neck pediment over circular silvered hygrometer annotated DAMP/DRY set behind convex glazed brass bezel, over rectangular brass-framed glazed door enclosing silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches to right hand side opposing the usual observations to the left beneath signature Cary, London to upper margin, the ebony-banded caddy moulded trunk applied with arch glazed silvered Fahrenheit and Reaumur scale mercury thermometer over circular convex cistern cover to the rounded base incorporating level adjustment screw to underside.108cm (42.5ins) high, 14cm (5.5ins) wide. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London in 1782 moving to a new address at 'Corner of Arundel Square', Strand the following year. He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts and globes who moved again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 86 St. James in 1820. The following year he was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when the business was acquired by Henry Gould. Condition Report: Instrument is in good original condition having been cosmetically restored at some time in the fairly recent past. The tube is filled with mercury however the column stops a little short of the top of the tube when the instrument is tilted slightly suggesting the presence of some air. The register plate has good clean even silvering and. the brass door is in sound condition however we do not have a key for the lock. The thermometer is in fine working condition. The case is generally very good. The pediment appears original but with evidence that some of the ebonised mouldings may have come loose and been re-stuck at some point. Both sides of the case at the cistern level have some slight bruising otherwise faults to the case are limited to minor bumps, scuffs shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE GEORGE III SCOTTISH CHEVRON-EDGED MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETERJOHN RUSSELL, FALKIRK, CIRCA 1790The chevron banded case with swan neck pediment above arch-glazed door enclosing fine engraved silvered brass scale with arched banner titled BAROMETER over Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches to the right and opposing the usual weather observations to the left, the lower margin signed Rufsell, Falkirk, the trunk applied with full-height half column enclosing the tube flanked by forty-five degree angle-grain veneers and chevron angles, over a slightly domed oval cistern cover.98cm (38.5ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide. Provenance:The Dr. Castle Collection of barometers and other weather instruments. Purchased at Bonhams, London sale of FINE CLOCKS Wednesday 7th July 2016 (lot 2) for £1,690. John Russell is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as settling in Falkirk in 1770 where he set up shop opposite the top of Kirk Wynd. He proved to be a very talented watchmaker who was subsequently appointed maker to the Prince of Wales in 1811. In addition to making watches and barometers he advertised as being able to supply musical clocks, organs, microscopes and thermometers. Of his barometers his best known models are a type similar to the present lot, but also fitted with a hygrometer and thermometer (following the specification of Benjamin Martin's 'weather glasses'), and his landmark 'royal' barometers - which are essentially an early design of wheel barometer with subsidiary dials allowing changes in pressure to be obtained down to increments of 0.001 of an inch. John Russell died in 1817 and was succeeded by William Dobbie who was known to have produced a few barometers to Russell's designs. Condition Report: Instrument is filled with mercury but has a very small amount of air as the column will stop around 5mm short of the top of the tube when the instrument is inclined slightly. The scale is in good condition with fairly bright and relatively even colouring to the silvering. The case presents very well however the pediment has been restored and there is a small veneer patch repair to glazed aperture surround. Visible faults are otherwise visible faults are otherwise limited to a small stain to the lower part of the right hand-side and a few very minor age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear.Condition Report Disclaimer
