Original/Fully Serviced Early 20th Century Klaxon with London Trademark. 22441:35. - 22441:35 The English company Klaxon Signals Ltd. has been based in Oldham, England for the last 80 years, with premises also in Birmingham. Klaxons were first fitted to automobiles and bicycles in 1908. They were originally powered by six-volt dry cells, and from 1911 by rechargeable batteries. Later hand-powered versions were used as military evacuation alarms and factory sirens. They were also used as submarine dive and surface alarms beginning in the Second World War. In the first klaxons, the wheel was driven either by hand or by an electric motor. American inventor Miller Reese Hutchison (later chief engineer of Thomas Edison) patented the mechanism in 1908. This excellent example has been fully serviced and repainted in period black paint. The main body is of cast iron with an oak turning handle.

WWII Era Japanese Silk 'Yosegaki Hinomaru' House Banner to Wish Good Luck to Soldiers Departing for War. 21028. - 21028 This is an excellent original Japanese 'yosegaki hinomaru' or good luck banner/flag. The Good Luck Flag was a traditional gift for Japanese servicemen deployed during the military campaigns of the Empire of Japan, most notably during World War II. The flag was typically a national flag signed by friends and family, often with short messages wishing the soldier victory, safety and good luck. Today, hinomaru are used for occasions such as charity and sporting events. The name 'hinomaru' is taken from the name for the flag of Japan, also known as hinomaru, which translates literally as "circular sun". When yosegaki hinomaru were signed by friends and relatives, the text written on the flag was generally written in a vertical formation radiating out from the central red circle, resembling the sun's rays. This appearance is referenced in the term 'yosegaki' (lit., "collection of writing"), meaning that the term 'yosegaki hinomaru' can be interpreted as a "collection of writing around the red sun", describing the appearance of text radiating outwards from the circle in the centre of the flag. Measuring; 26” x 31”. The banner has stitched edges, and the bottom edge has original small tassels. The material has no mothing or other holes and just areas of light staining consistent with age. The price for this WWII Japanese good luck banner includes UK delivery. 21028. (Large flag box). £245.00

C1860 Victorian English Webley Bentley Wedge Frame Type Double Action .54 Bore Percussion 5 Shot Revolver. Sn 22465 - 22465 This is an original example of the English Webley Bentley Wedge Frame type double-action percussion revolver, as produced in the late-1850’s through about the mid-1860’s. These guns use a 2-piece frame and barrel design, similar to that of Colt revolvers, with the two parts held together via a “wedge”. Adams and Tranter revolvers utilized one-piece frame/barrel assemblies that were forged from a single piece of iron. The “wedge” frame design is attributed to Birmingham gun maker Philip Webley, although Webley himself seemed to have manufactured very few of the guns. The simplified double-action lock mechanism typically encountered in these revolvers is usually of the Joseph Bentley design, and these guns are often referred to as Webley-Bentley revolvers, even though they were produced by many Birmingham gun makers and are often unmarked. This Webley wedge frame is very well made and has a single & double-action mechanism. The gun is typical of larger bore English double-action revolvers in that it features a 5 shot cylinder. The revolver has a 6” long octagonal barrel. The bore has crisp rifling and just the staining to be expected with age and use. The barrel and cylinder have small English proof marks. The cylinder chambers are numbered 1 to 5. The pistols metal has even patina throughout and its chequered Walnut grips are undamaged. It has a captive loading lever, a small blade fore sight sight and notch block frame rear sight. The frame has no externally visible manufacturer markings. The frame is marked ‘Patent No. 4033’. The firing mechanism functions crisply in both single & double action. The price includes UK delivery. NB As an antique percussion revolver no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 22465
