This lot comprises a diverse collection of vintage and contemporary items. The nautical category includes a decorative wooden ship’s steering wheel with six spokes and a central brass-toned boss, alongside a wooden-handled knife housed in a brown leather sheath with carved foliate decoration. Timepieces feature a Westclox wall clock with a blue dial and white Arabic numerals, marked Made by Westclox Ltd Scotland at the base, and an ornate metal-framed mantel clock with a Roman numeral dial and a black scrollwork centre.
Further items include a resin bust of a grinning male character resembling Jack Nicholson, a set of vintage glass Christmas ornaments in a divided cardboard box, and a round fabric-covered canteen with a striped pattern in red, blue, and white, fitted with a white plastic cap and a textile shoulder strap. The collection is rounded out by a small leather pouch with a pressed Boy Scouts emblem, a wooden bucket containing several miniature liquor bottles with labels for Bell’s and Lamb’s Navy Rum, a pair of TOPLUS swimming goggles in a plastic case, and a selection of trading cards including football and Konami examples.
Condition report:
The items in this lot exhibit varying degrees of wear consistent with age and use. The metal elements, particularly on the mantel clock and the canteen, show signs of surface oxidation and tarnishing. Wooden components on the ship’s wheel and knife handle display minor scuffing and finish loss. The leather sheath and Boy Scouts pouch show creasing and surface rubbing. The cardboard packaging for the Christmas ornaments is heavily worn with tears and discolouration. The Westclox clock face appears in good order, though the external casing has minor marks. Miniature bottles are unopened but are offered as collectibles only.
