York, a long pair of George III English provincial silver and steel scissors, one arm engraved with a crest, Prince and Cattles [incuse mark], York, 1805, length 22.3cm approxNote: the scissors are struck also with 'E' in a rectangular punch, perhaps a workman's mark [this mark noted by Martin Gubbins, 'York Assay Office & Silversmiths 1776-1858', p. 32, in the years 1800-06].

Greif in 1916: The Medal of the Order of the British Empire for Meritorious Service (British Empire Medal), George VI, GRI cypher (C.P.O. WR. WILLIAM C.

R.N.), good very fine, [4]; together with a collection of associated items including the recipient's journal with notes on the sinking of S.M.S. Greif by the Alcantara, press cuttings, correspondence, an ALCANTARA cap tally, a portrait photograph of the recipient, two of the recipient's warrants, a silver presentation tankard to the recipient from the officers of H.M.S. Europa (C.J. Vander Ltd., London 1945) and other items. B.E.M. London Gazette 11/07/1940 D.S.M. London Gazette 20/06/1916William Charles Bond was born in Portsmouth on the 7th of September 1896 and he joined the Royal Navy in November 1914. In 1916 he was serving as Third Class Writer in H.M.S. Alcantara, an armed merchant cruiser employed in the naval blockade of Germany. On the 28th of February, Admiral Jellicoe was made aware that a German commerce raider had entered the North Sea accompanied by a U-Boat and he deployed vessels to intercept her. In the previous month Britain had lost the battleship H.M.S. King Edward VII to mines laid by a similar enemy ship, S.M.S. Möwe, which had gone on to sink several allied merchant vessels, and preventing the new threat - S.M.S. Greif - from escaping into open seas was of great importance. On the 29th of February the Alcantara encountered Greif, disguised as a Norwegian merchantman, northeast of the Shetland Islands, and made preparations for boarding her. A surprise attack from Grief initiated a ferocious gun battle in which both ships were sunk. The battered Alcantara developed a heavy list prior to sinking and William Bond observed a badly wounded marine on the lee side. In spite of having a hernia he slid down the deck to assist and, being unable to drag the man up the sloping deck to the raised side, he helped him off the lower side before following him into the frigid water to take care of him. Leaving a capsizing and sinking ship in this manner is extremely dangerous and Bond's courageous and selfless act was observed by the Alacantara's commander Captain Thomas Wardle, who recommended him for the D.C.M. Bond had already performed a valuable service of another kind by securing the ship's ledger in its special watertight container and for some time afterwards he was uncertain which deed had resulted in the award.Although he had originally enlisted "for [the] period of hostilities" William Bond went on to have a naval career that spanned both World Wars, and in 1940 he was awarded the B.E.M. "in recognition of services during the war". In addition to the medals offered here he was awarded the British War Medal 1914-20 and the R.N. L.S.G.C. medal.

Two account ledgers with entries dating between October 1818 - December 1825, the accounts are for mainly British settlers in Trinidad (then under British rule), most entries are of a legal nature with court fees, consultations, fees for suits etc., lots of the names mentioned are associated with plantations or 'estates', which mainly produced sugar, owners recorded include: Robert Neilson, Casimere Dumolard, Joseph Crabtree, Charles Hugon, Victor le Barrie, John Audain, Hamilton Veitch, Robert Orr (of Park & Orr), John Burnley Littlepage, and Henry Gloster (apparently Guardian of the Slaves); Plantations mentioned include: Union Estate, Milton Estate, and Concord Estate; mention is also made of legal proceedings against captains, brigs, and schooners; the cases probably relate to land and business, but also many are likely to be about slavery; the heinous trade in human beings was in the process of being abolished but met with resistance in the West Indies, trading in enslaved people was supposedly prohibited but illegal trading continued and the use of slave labour was still permitted, the slave owners also claimed compensation for any slaves they manumitted; further research and documentation of these manuscript records seem incredibly important; each ledger measures 38 x 27cm, the first book has some damp staining at the bottom and two pages have been torn out, some toning at edges, the calf bindings have wear but are intact (2)

A WW1 medal trio, plus Silver War Badge awarded to S4-094788 Pte Thomas G Tuthill of the Army Service Corps, and later the Royal Irish Fusiliers (using service number 41791). To include: the 1915 Star, British War Medal, Victory Medal, Silver War Badge (numbered B243082), and a 1911 dated farthing ‘good luck’ token with the head of King George V cut out. Notes: Thomas Tuthill enlisted for service on May 15th 1915, serving first ib in France. He was discharged on May 30th 1919, with the reason being noted as ‘sickness’, hence the award of his badge. The trio and badge are confirmed as his full entitlement, with the BWM and Victory medal being issued by the Royal Irish Fusilier, but named to his original regiment, the Army Service Corps. There was a Thomas George Tuthill born in Newbridge, Ireland in 1895, which may explain him serving in an Irish regiment, but we cannot confirm this. His pension ledger index card is ink stamped ‘Dead’ with a date of July 15th 1925, but this cannot be verified. Condition: normal age and service wear. Age related toning to the BWM, plus some minor contact marks and signs of polishing to the high points. The Silver War Badge is good, with a working pin and clasp. The ribbons to the BWM and Victory are silk originals, but the 1915 Star ribbon is absent.

A MANUSCRIPT VALUATIONS LEDGER FOR THE LONDON SHIP BROKER C.H. RUGG & CO. 1917-18with entries dated from 20 March 1917 to 26 July 1918, including valuations for several World War I losses, original vellum boards, hand written titles to front cover and spine -- 13 x 8½in. (33 x 21.5cm.)During the First World War C. H. Rugg & Co was the exclusive broker for the UK shipbuilding industry and acted as honorary broker to the Admiralty. In the War, the merchant service suffered heavy losses from German U-boat attacks. A policy of unrestricted warfare meant that merchant seafarers were at great risk. The tonnage lost to U-boats was around 7,759,090 tons, and 14,661 merchant seamen were killed. The ledger has over 200 handwritten entries of ships lost while on war service. The entries record details of ships lost with details of valuations and the settlement paid to the owners. Entry No. 41 was for S.S. Rio Colorado, on 22 March 1917 the ship detonated a mine laid by the submarine SM UC-50. The steamer had just reached the Tyne having crossed the Atlantic, on passage from Montevideo for Newcastle and had been approaching the mouth of the Tyne with her cargo of wheat, when she struck the mine amidships, blasting a hole in the side of the hull. Sea conditions were extremely rough at the time and she foundered in just 40 minutes. The chief officer, boatswain and two seamen drowned, whilst three firemen and the second engineer were lost and also presumed drowned. The unfortunate captain drowned while attempting to swim to safety. The ship was valued by Rugg & Co at £78,00 and eventually a settlement of £82,500 was paid to the owners Wm Petersen and Co. of London. The offices of C.H. Rugg & Co in the Baltic Exchange were completely destroyed along with files going back 100 years by an IRA bomb on 10 April 1992. Given the loss of the company's records, this must be a rare survival.
