BIDDING PRIORITY

Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price.

Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the rst bid received.

FOREWORD JEROME J. PLATT, PH.D. AND ARLEEN KAY PLATT, R.N.

Dr. Platt has been an avid collector of British medals since the early 1970s when he rst purchased a Dunbar medal. Fascinated by the direct connection between medals and the historical events they re ected, he soon became drawn into the worlds from which they came.

He was interested both in English Civil War and earlier medals as well as the people of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries associated with making, selling, collecting and writing about them. A researcher by inclination and profession, he soon started collecting information about recipients where available, a di cult task at best for the early medals, but one he relished for the material he was able to unearth and the people he met and collections he was privileged to visit during his many trips to the UK. During his work,

he found his wife Kay looking over his shoulder with increasing frequency, and she soon joined him at the table, unable to resist her own fascination, not only with the medals themselves, but with the people behind the medals.

Over more than two decades, the Platts published their medal research in several articles and books. Their primary work on the English Civil War period was the two-volume work The English Civil Wars: Medals, Historical Commentary and Personalities (Spink, 2014), followed by a companion volume, British Historical Medals of the 17th Century: Medallists, Authors, Books, Collectors, Book-Sellers & Antiquaries (Spink, 2017). These works, like their other books, utilized commemorative and military medals as the entry points for biographical and bibliographical studies of historical events and the individuals who

participated in them. For these projects the Platts drew primarily upon the collection of the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum, but also examined the collections held by the Ashmolean, Fitzwilliam and Hunterian Museums, the Museum of London, the National Museum of Scotland and the American Numismatic Society.

Their rst work on medals, The Whitewash Brigade: The Hong Kong Plague of 1894 (Dix Noonan Webb, 1998), was written in collaboration with Maurice Jones, whom they had met while researching the Hong Kong Plague medal at the Shropshire Regimental Museum in Shrewsbury. The Platts also conducted research on the Campanella collection of medals associated with the life of Giuseppe Garibaldi held by the Rare Books and Special Collections Library at the University of South Carolina. The results of this appeared in book form as “Here We Make Italy or We Die:” The Medals of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Risorgimento, and Modern Italy (Spink, 2018).

Continuing a relationship with the British Museum, Dr. Platt, in a discussion with Philip Attwood, former Keeper of Coins and Medals, recognized the need for an annotated catalogue of the sixteenth century English historical medals in the Museum’s possession, undoubtedly the most comprehensive such collection in existence. He and Mrs Platt then embarked on compiling one, Medals of Tudor England and Scotland in the British Museum (Spink, 2021).

Another work, Glasgow and Strathclyde Bravery Medals: Police, Fire and Civilian Awards, 18711996 (OMRS, in the press) is anticipated to appear in December 2022. Dr. Platt’s current project, They Fought at Dien Bien Phu, is a study of the men who participated in the battle that resulted in the end of Western colonial rule in the Far East.

Before his retirement Dr Platt served as a professor of psychiatry, associate dean for research and institute director at medical schools in the Philadelphia area. During his career Dr. Platt chaired a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) research review panel as well as serving as a member or chair of many other federal contract, policy and advisory committees. He also served as a consultant and advisor to numerous organizations, including the New Jersey Department of Corrections, and was a member of the board of trustees of Hahnemann University School of Medicine. Among over a dozen books on drug addiction and its treatment which he authored or edited are Heroin Addiction: Theory, Research and Treatment (Wiley, 1976), Cocaine Addiction: Theory, Research and Treatment (Harvard, 2000) and Relapse and Recovery in Addictions (Yale, 2001). Before her retirement Mrs Platt was a hospital nursing supervisor and manager of a research clinic for adolescent drug abusers. Her passion is art history.

Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester (1602-70), was a Parliamentary general and statesman. He served under Essex at Edgehill, and later commanded at Marston Moor. He defeated the royalist army at the second battle of Newbury, but failed to take advantage of the victory and was relieved of his command. Although a leader of the Puritan faction, Manchester opposed the trial of King Charles and was in!uential in bringing about the Restoration of 1660; he was subsequently appointed Lord Chamberlain by Charles II.

The die is thought to have broken before any medals could be struck from it, a view supported by the absence of a reverse. It is believed to have been taken to Holland in 1720 where restrikes in gold, silver and copper were produced, normally on round !ans. Oval strikings are considered to have been made later (see M. Lessen, ‘The Cromwell Lord General Medal by Simon’, BNJ 1979, pp.87-98).

Elizabeth Claypole (1629-58) was the second and favourite daughter of Oliver Cromwell. She married John Claypole in January 1646 and they had four children, the youngest of whom died an infant. Elizabeth herself became very ill and her premature death at Hampton Court undoubtedly hastened that of her father, who succumbed less than a month later.

George Monck (1608-70) was governor of Dublin under Charles I and represented the Royalist cause in Ireland but was captured in 1644 and imprisoned. After his release in 1646 he joined the Parliamentarians and became military commander in Ireland and Scotland, being present at Dunbar with Cromwell. Following the fall of Richard Cromwell, Monck broke with the new military government established in 1659 and led his troops south from the Scottish border early in 1660 to restore a free Parliament and to negotiate the return of Charles II from France. For these services Monck was awarded the title Duke of Albemarle and was made a Knight of the Garter. Although unsigned, this medal is de!nitely by Simon (others with the TS signature read differently).

rev.

Provenance:

This piece is unsigned but of the same group as other dies, some of which are signed ‘R’ for Rawlins. Rawlins died in 1670 but had been nominal chief engraver since 1660. This is a highly professional and !nished medal, probably made in 1661 and for the Coronation, as opposed to commemorating it later. However, it was not the ‘official’ medal approved for general circulation as was Simon’s. What is also surprising is the lettered edge made with a collar; there is a vertical witness line, and the letter bases are #at. Presses were still available, and of course Simon had access to them, as would Rawlins. However, the appearance of collars are unexpected. The thick Ramage coins of 1651 used them, so the knowledge existed, very possibly having originated with Briot. David Ramage was still at the Mint until his death before August 1662 and could have been involved with the mechanics

in 1651. However, the ‘R’ signature could not be his, for he is not known to have any portraiture

of course

On 3 June 1665, a British !eet under the Duke of York, Prince Rupert and the Earl of Sandwich defeated the Dutch off Lowestoft. Nineteen of the Dutch ships were either destroyed or captured. This medal was struck as a Naval Reward, in both gold and silver, and presented to officers of the rank of Captain or above who had ‘signalized themselves in the engagement’. MI states that ‘these medals are purposely without date, or any peculiarity of design, that they might be equally applicable on any occasion ‘for any such enterprises’ [pro talibus ausis].

Please note that we will not accept cash payments in excess of £5,000 ( ve thousand pounds) in settlement for purchases made at any one auction.

7 Noonans may, at its absolute discretion, agree credit terms with the buyer before an auction under which the buyer will be entitled to take possession of lots purchased up to an agreed amount in value in advance of payment by a determined future date of the ‘total amount due’.

8 Any payments by a buyer to Noonans may be applied by Noonans towards any sums owing from that buyer to Noonans on any account whatever, without regard to any directions of the buyer, his or her agent, whether expressed or implied.

9 Collection of purchases

The ownership of the lot(s) purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he or she has made payment in full to Noonans of the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling.

10 (a) The buyer shall at his or her own expense take away the lot(s) purchased not later than 5 working days after the day of the auction but (unless credit terms have been agreed in accordance with Condition 7) not before payment to Noonans of the ‘total amount due’.

(b) The buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges on any lot not taken away within 5 working days after the day of the auction.

(c) The packing and handling of purchased lots by Noonans sta is undertaken solely as a courtesy to clients and, in the case of fragile articles, will be undertaken only at Noonans’ discretion. In no event will Noonans be liable for damage to glass or frames, regardless of the cause. Bulky lots or sharp implements, etc., may not be suitable for in-house shipping.

11 Buyers’ responsibilities for lots purchased The buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots purchased from the time of collection or the expiry of 5 working days after the day of the auction, whichever is the sooner. Neither Noonans nor its servants or agents shall thereafter be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in its custody or under its control.

Loss and damage warranty cover at the rate of 1.5% will be applied to any lots despatched by Noonans to destinations outside the UK, unless speci cally instructed otherwise by the consignee.

12 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchase

If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Conditions 6 and 10, or if there is any other breach of either of those Conditions, Noonans as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies:

(a) to proceed against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.

(b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the defaulting buyer at the same or any other auction.

(c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting buyer shall pay to Noonans any resulting de ciency in the ‘total amount due’ (after deduction of any part payment and addition of re-sale costs) and any surplus shall belong to the seller.

(d) to remove, store and insure the lot at the expense of the defaulting buyer and, in the case of storage, either at Noonans’ premises or elsewhere.

(e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2 percent per month on the ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 5 working days after the day of the auction.

(f) to retain that or any other lot sold to the same buyer at the sale or any other auction and release it only after payment of the ‘total amount due’.

(g) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions or obtaining a deposit before accepting any bids in future.

(h) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the defaulting buyer towards settlement of the ‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting buyer which is in Noonans’ possession for any purpose.

13 Liability of Noonans and sellers (a) Goods auctioned are usually of some age. All goods are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. Illustrations in catalogues are for identi cation only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Subject to the obligations accepted by Noonans under this Condition, none of the seller, Noonans, its servants or agents is responsible for errors of descriptions or for the genuineness or authenticity of any lot. No warranty whatever is given by Noonans, its servants or agents, or any seller to any buyer in respect of any lot and any express or implied conditions or warranties are hereby excluded.

(b) Any lot which proves to be a ‘deliberate forgery’ may be returned by the buyer to Noonans within 15 days of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction, accompanied by a statement of defects, the number of the lot, and the date of the auction at which it was purchased. If Noonans is satis ed that the item is a ‘deliberate forgery’ and that the buyer has and is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot free from any third party claims, the sale will be set aside and any amount paid in respect of the lot will be refunded, provided that the buyer shall have no rights under this Condition if:

(i) the description in the catalogue at the date of the sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a con ict of such opinion; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of

publication of the catalogue that the lot was a ‘deliberate forgery’ was by means of scienti c processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical.

(c) A buyer’s claim under this Condition shall be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and shall not extend to any loss or damage su ered or expense incurred by him or her.

(d) The bene t of the Condition shall not be assignable and shall rest solely and exclusively in the buyer who, for the purpose of this condition, shall be and only be the person to whom the original invoice is made out by Noonans in respect of the lot sold.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS

14 Warranty of title and availability

The seller warrants to Noonans and to the buyer that he or she is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. The seller will indemnify Noonans, its servants and agents and the buyer against any loss or damage su ered by either in consequence of any breach on the part of the seller.

15 Reserves

The seller shall be entitled to place, prior to the rst day of the auction, a reserve at or below the low estimate on any lot provided that the low estimate is more than £100. Such reserve being the minimum ‘hammer price’ at which that lot may be treated as sold. A reserve once placed by the seller shall not be changed without the consent of Noonans. Noonans may at their option sell at a ‘hammer price’ below the reserve but in any such cases the sale proceeds to which the seller is entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve. Where a reserve has been placed, only the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the seller.

16 Authority to deduct commission and expenses

The seller authorises Noonans to deduct commission at the ‘stated rate’ and ‘expenses’ from the ‘hammer price’ and acknowledges Noonans’ right to retain the premium payable by the buyer.

17 Rescission of sale

If before Noonans remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the buyer makes a claim to rescind the sale that is appropriate and Noonans is of the opinion that the claim is justi ed, Noonans is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to Noonans in respect of the lot.

18 Payment of sale proceeds

Noonans shall remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller 35 days after the auction, but if by that date Noonans has not received the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer then Noonans will remit the sale proceeds within ve working days after the date on which the ‘total amount due’ is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been agreed between Noonans and the buyer, Noonans shall remit to the seller the sale proceeds 35 days after the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller.

19 If the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 3 weeks after the auction, Noonans will endeavour to notify the seller and

take the seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action and, so far as in Noonans’ opinion is practicable, will assist the seller to recover the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer. If circumstances do not permit Noonans to take instructions from the seller, the seller authorises Noonans at the seller’s expense to agree special terms for payment of the ‘total amount due’, to remove, store and insure the lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on such terms as Noonans shall in its absolute discretion think t, to take such steps as are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer if appropriate.

20 If, notwithstanding that, the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within three weeks after the auction and Noonans remits the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the ownership of the lot shall pass to Noonans.

21 Charges for withdrawn lots

Where a seller cancels instructions for sale, Noonans reserve the right to charge a fee of 15% of Noonans’ then latest middle estimate of the auction price of the property withdrawn, together with Value Added Tax thereon if the seller is resident in the UK, and ‘expenses’ incurred in relation to the property.

22 Rights to photographs and illustrations

The seller gives Noonans full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any lot placed in its hands for sale and to use such photographs and illustrations and any photographs and illustrations provided by the seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the auction).

23 Unsold lots

Where any lot fails to sell, Noonans shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-o er the lot for sale or to collect the lot.

24 Noonans reserve the right to charge commission up to one-half of the ‘stated rates’ calculated on the ‘bought-in price’ and in addition ‘expenses’ in respect of any unsold lots.
