 STAFFORD AUCTION
SATURDAY 13th JANUARY 2007

 

Welcome to our second auction!  We believe that we have again put together a rather special auction, which features a number of items that are rare and some that have never before been available at auction. We normally conduct our railwayana business via private treaty sales (through Railway Nameplates UK Ltd), so that client confidentiality is maintained.  In response to client requests, we now also have this auction venture to give our clients the choice of sale arrangements. We aim to organise further auctions.  The next may be later this year.

Venue – Our chosen venue has a history connected with railways.  It is located in the north Midlands and has good road and rail links. There is ample free parking and it is approx. 15 minute walk from the railway station. Very importantly, all facilities are on ground level allowing access for wheelchairs.  A restaurant will be available serving hot & cold meals including a licensed bar.

 

Terms & Conditions for the Auction - these can be found overleaf. Please note that neither Buyer’s Premium nor VAT apply to any of the auction lots. 

Commission Bids - arrangements are available and are detailed near the end of this catalogue.  There is no commission bid administration charge applicable at this auction.  Please note that the latest time for the receipt of postal bids is mid-day on Thursday 11th January.  Telephone bids from known customers may be accepted up to 6 pm on Friday 12th January.

Viewing – commences at 8 am on the day of the sale. Certain items can only be viewed under the supervision of one of our stewards.  We reserve the right to ask potential buyers to leave bags and large coats outside the viewing area.  Security surveillance will be in operation.

7.       Commission bids

The Auctioneer will execute commission bids, free of charge. Postal bidders should use the form near the back of the catalogue.

10.      Catalogue descriptions

The Auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to see that catalogue descriptions, including rarity, origin and condition, are accurate and reliable, taking into account all the information available when the catalogue was prepared, but these are necessarily matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of fact. Subject to Condition 11 neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer is responsible for the correctness of any description. Any comments on the catalogue, lots or descriptions should be made to the Auctioneer before the date of the sale and not on the day of the sale, as this provides no opportunity to check any queries.

A Locomotive Nameplate “ THE GARTH” This special nameplate, with its original matching right-facing “BRASS FOX” was carried by the L.N.E.R.

In February 1949, the experimental, infinitely variable, Reidinger rotary cam poppet valve-gear originally fitted to No. 365 was re-assembled and fitted to this loco. Testing took place at Rugby Testing Station later that year and the engine worked satisfactorily from Neville Hill shed. The valve –gear was retained for the rest of the engine’s working life. It moved to Darlington where it was withdrawn on 10-1958.  Cut up at Darlington12-58.

 

“THE GARTH” hunt was founded by Thomas Garth on the 8th November 1852 and is considered to be one of the finest and oldest South Berkshire Hunts. In its heyday it could field as many as 200 hundred riders per meet. For many of the pre war years it would gather outside the “BULL AND BUTCHER” public house in Sandhurst.

 

The vendor first wrote to the Stores Superintendent, at Weller’s Court, King’s Cross, who was responsible for the disposal of locomotive nameplate on the 29th December 1958. He had a reply instructing him to forward a postal order for 40/-d. (forty shillings) to the Department concerned, which he did. His particular request was for any of “THE TYNEDALE”, “THE RUFFORD” or “THE SINNINGTON”. Unfortunately these plates had been sold, so he wrote back and requested any other complete” HUNT CLASS” nameplate. On 18th February, 1959 he received a letter confirming that “THE GARTH” No. 62764 had been allocated for him and the sale price would be £2.10s., plus carriage charge to Darlington, at an extra 10s. 0d.This he confirmed and on 27th February 1959 he became the proud owner of this magnificent plate. Remaining in his ownership for some 47 years, throughout all that time the fox has never been detached from the nameplate. All B.R. original paper work/ receipts of sale, accompany this nameplate.

NOTES.
LANDSCAPES
UNDER THE LUGGAGE RACK
Great Paintings of Britain
One of the great railway poster books

at only £19.50 plus p&p ... a superb idea for a gift

 

A tour around Britain during the middle years of the 20th century using beautiful landscape paintings by leading poster artists commissioned by the railway companies.

 

Reliving the days of steam when railways resembled travelling art galleries!

 

Using many of the prints from his personal collection, the author takes us on a nostalgic tour of Britain in the mid-20th century, before modern town planning and the motor car had exerted their baneful influence on the landscape. From the mid 1930s to the late 1960s, trains virtually became travelling art galleries and it is this period, which forms the centrepiece of this book.

 

2nd EDITION ONLY £19.50 (plus £3.00 UK postage & package)
