5009. Carlyon-Britton, Major Philip William Poole (1863-1938): The Carlyon-Britton Collection of Coins: the collector’s unique record of the coins in the collection: two quarto index books, bound in three-quarter morocco and cloth boards, his bookplate to both; each volume with some hand-written notes and the coins individually and lovingly described on a moveable tab, 6 to a page, in red and black inks, showing purchases from c. 1910-1918; Vol. I, dated May 1913, ‘Hammered English Gold Coins 1257-1662’; Vol. II, Henry VII – Charles II (though ending with Elizabeth), a superb record recorded in immaculate detail (Manville, Biographical Dictionary, p.50; cf. also BNJ 1917, p. 242 & BNJ 2001, p.144), in excellent condition (2) £1500-2000 *ex John Drury list12/1988 [£850] and A.

Egbert de Hamel (1844-1925), was the owner of Middleton Hall, Middleton, in Staffordshire for whom the hoard would have had some ‘local’ interest. He is recorded as being a ‘keen amateur photographer’ but seems to have had no lasting interest in coins.

For a full and thorough description of these two catalogues, together with biographical details about Major Philip Carlyon-Britton, see A. H. Baldwin, fixed price list, January 2014, p. 180. Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge held three auctions of coins from the collection of Major Philip Carlyon-Britton, 1913-16.

THE CHRISTOPHER COMBER COLLECTION - BOOKS THE CHRISTOPHER COMBER COLLECTION - BOOKS B. A. Seaby Ltd. H. A. (Bert) Seaby (d. 1979), son of the artist, illustrator and print-maker, Allen William Seaby (1867-1953), joined the coin department at Spink & Son in 1919 and whilst there, in 1926, he published his fi rst catalogue,The Milled Silver Coinage of England. Later that same year he was able to establish his own business, B. A. Seaby Ltd., and right from the start he produced duplicated lists of stock for sale. The lots that follow are not a complete set and it is believed only one or two such sets survive, but it is an amazing record of the range of coins and medals for sale. Generally, the lists are in good order, but many have been folded and the old rusted staples have been replaced throughout. In 1929 he published the fi rst edition of A Catalogue of the Coins of Great Britain and Ireland and an excellent set follows. Please note that Lots 5034 to 5043 will be offered singly, year by year, as described and then as a single lot (lot 5044). Should the price for the single lot exceed the hammer total of the separate lots, then they will be sold to that bidder, if the price fails then the lots revert to the individual buyers. Seaby [B. A. Seaby, Ltd.]: Coins and Medals offered for sale; the early duplicated lists in roneoed typescript on foolscap, 1926 – 1938 and believed by Comber to be the most complete set extant; most re- stapled and generally in good order and very rare
