GEORGIAN GOLD INSCRIPTION MOURNING RING 1809 J GIBSON

Here is a 12ct rose gold Georgian Mourning ring with inscription underneath and a date of 1809.





I can make out the name John Gibson and the number 27 and the date 1809.






The ring has unfortunately suffered some damage, te setting is no longer there, it looks like it may have been set with either black jet or black enamel.

There also appears to be part of the design missing from one shoulder.

This weighs roughly 2.1grams.

HUMMEL BOY CHIMNEY SWEEP 12 2/0 1960'S BEE MARK 4"

Here is a very nice Hummel figurine entitled Chimney Sweep.

This has the M.I. Hummel signature incised into the base and the Goebel Hummel Bee mark of 1960.

I would say that this is in good condition and that it has a little crazing to the underneath of the base and one small line of crazing in the base on the outside.


He stands four inches high and has no chips, cracks or restoration.

Hummel have been producing ceramic figurines since 1935, and, despite a brief hiatus in 2007, they have been produced ever since. The figurines wre based on illustrations by a German nun Maria Innocentia Hummel.

VINTAGE BLONDE SASHA DOLL CHECKED DRESS STRAW HAT

Here is a

good condition sasha doll

As far as I can see she is in very good condition.

She has her original clothes although these look like they need some attention.

Her Gingham shorts need some more elastic in as this has now given way.

Shoes are showing a few signs of ageing but this is not major, the poppers on the shoes are still in good clean shiny condition.

She comes with a straw hat but I am not sure if this is original, it fits her but could do with a ribbon or piece of elastic to hold it on her head.

She is in very good clean condition with one small light brown spot to her leg at the top.
She has no hair plugs missing as such but there is is evidence of one never having been there in the first place, there is a tiny blob of plastic in the hole where the hair should have been.
This does not really notice as it is towards the front where she seems to have ample fringe.

Her hair as can be seen is in lovely condition, still nice and soft, with no tangles.

Brown stringing to her legs and white stringing to her arms.

Pure Nickel Medana half hunter pocket watch.

Here is a.....

Pure Nickel Medana half hunter pocket watch.

Medana was a brand for the company Meyer and studeli which was founded in 1888, in Switzerland. The companies founder Fritz meyer stared with a very small work force in his home town of Solothium, making cylinders before switching to watches in 1904.

I am unsure of the date of this watch but it must be between 1904 and the mid 70's as Medana went bust at some point during then.

This watch feels like it is fully wound and will tick after you give it a kick start with the flywheel.




It will only tick though for about 30 seconds if you are lucky so I should imagine that this needs a good clean.

All hands are present with a sweeping second hand.

There is a hairline crack to the watch face that is not too noticeable and cannot been seen when the case is closed.

VINTAGE FRENCH PORCELAIN HANDPAINTED DUMAS MANTLE CLOCK 1889

Here is a.....

Fantastic, Hand Painted, Antique French Mantle clock signed Dumas, L Martie Et Cie, Medaille Dargent 1889

Here is the chance to own a hand Painted Antique French Mantle clock.

This is signed Dumas and is decorated with gilt feet and shoulders.

The movement is marked L Martie Et Cie, Medaille Dargent 1889.

The dial is decorated with a festoon of flowers, with very ornate hands.

The clock chimes and has its pendulum and its key.

The pendulum will swing for a few seconds but then stops, so this will need looking at.

The only damage if any that I can see is crazing to the glaze, and a tiny chip underneath to the base, also there are hairline cracks to the dial (shown on photograph).

There is a tiny amount of rubbing to the gilding, and where the clock has been moved there is slight wear to one side of the blue finish.

It is possible that something adorned the top as there is a small hole and the evidence of something resting lightly on either side (slight rubbing to the colour).

This comes with its original blue velvet and gilt wooden base.

It has a typically blue colouring for the time period to the sides and back that is finished off with beautifully hand painted gold stems of flowers, it is also signed on the back in gold Made In France.

Front glass is in nice condition and stays tightly shut.

VICTORIAN MICRO MOSAIC ROMA BROOCH

Here is a very pretty Victorian Micro Mosaic Brooch.

This has Roma on the front and is Gondala shaped, there is one tiny piece of mosaic missing at each end and this is possibly deliberate as it would be difficult to fit a piece in, and is not really noticable
Pin and hook are in good working order.

Please note i have various other similar items also in auction.

EIGHT RARE BOOKS THE THREEPENNY PICTURE GALLERY 1800'S

Here are

Eight rare books called The Threepenny Picture Gallery.

As far as I can make out I think these were published in the mid 1800's.

These wer continued weekly and have various plates of the Works of Hogarth.

The issue numbers are written in the top left hand corner in hand but on some have also been printed, there are a few that have the printed number crossed out and the proper number written in hand.

No's are 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17.

They are individual and are stitched through the front cover to the back and I would imagine this was done by hand.

No 7, 10, 11, 12, 16, and 17 are still stitched, has all pages, these are as to be expected with books this age, and are somewhat grubby , corners of the pages a little dogearred and the normal foxing.

Number 8 and number 9 are no longer stitched, they have their prints in and their descriptions of the prints but I cannot confirm that the book is complete.

To help me date these books is an advert on the back of a couple for the Giant Steamer "The Great Britain Steamship now moored off Blackwall".

The ship was launched in 1843 from Blackwall.
