Description
This collection comprises a diverse range of antique and vintage items. A notable inclusion is a gilt metal medallion for the City of London, commemorating the 1962-1963 mayoralty of Sir Ralph Perring at the Mansion House, presented in a red leatherette box inscribed for Mr E. G. Wheater. The lot features a large cream-glazed stoneware foot warmer with a threaded stopper, bearing an impressed maker mark from Loughborough. Decorative metalware consists of a rectangular cast metal casket with scrolling relief work set with polished hardstone cabochons including banded agate, a black-finished box with intricate wirework and shell inlay, and a cast metal figurine of a caparisoned horse. The horological interest includes five miniature clocks in various styles, such as an owl-form clock, a carriage clock, and a longcase clock. Also present is a Hohner The Echo harmonica, made in the Republic of Ireland, in its original cardboard box. The assortment is completed by a miniature brass miner’s safety lamp, a bone-veneered box, a wooden folding rule, an enamel Pegasus belt buckle, a camera lens in a leather case, and a small quantity of gold-coloured coins.
