Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 253. In this Sale we have included a fine selection of Silver Jewellery. ‘Silver is the new Gold’ for young people and because of its relatively affordable price it allows fashionistas to interchange pieces to suit their mood. But if you are really looking to turn heads then look no further the lavish Amethyst and Diamond Pendant in 18ct Yellow Gold. A massive Deep Purple Tear-drop Amethyst is surrounded by approximately four Carats of quality Diamonds. Once the property of an Arab Sheik it is certainly a statement piece that catches the eye. From the collection of Australiana specialist Trevor Kennedy, we have an 'Ells's Patent ‘Safechek’ Gold Changer' that once sat in a 19th Century Gentleman's Club. Trevor’s collection was mostly purchased by the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, but some items were put up for private auction including this rare item. While the Joe Hockey’s and Mattias Corman’s of their day sat in their padded chairs drawing on their cigars they could summon the waiter to insert one of their Gold Sovereigns or Half Sovereigns into this machine which would dispense the equivalent value in Silver coins. You don’t want to be giving the hired help too much of a tip. In the Sale also is a very rare Isle of Man ‘James Stanley’ 1709 Halfpenny PCGS XF45 from the Collection of Jerome Remmick. When it was sold in 2006 it was catalogued as being superior to the Hilary F. Guard coin which was itself described as ‘one of the best specimens extant’, and as such it is possibly the finest known. As usual there is also a good selection of Australian Pre-decimal and Decimal coins on offer. Smalls Auctions
