Welcome to Smalls Auction Number 3 which features some iconic pieces of great historical import. Items relating to the Napoleonic Wars are highly desirable and the rare 'Chest of Chatham' document on offer, which was signed and issued during the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), transports you to the pitch of battle. Collectors of modern social history will recognise the importance of the fully signed 'fan photograph of the Beatles' from their 1964 tour of Australia. Few pop phenomena stand the test of time but the endurance of the Beatles seems assured. The 'contemporary scrimshaw of Ned Kelly', Australia's most notorious bushranger, was said to be carved by his American step-father George King and captures the 'wild west' era of Australia's history. The legend of Ned Kelly occupies a place in the Australian psyche similar to America's 'Jesse James' and England's 'Robin Hood'. There is also a selection of items from Australia's colonial past including a rare 'Convict Love Token', a unique 'NSW 1813 Holey Dollar' struck on a scarce Mexico 1790 Charles IIII 8 Reales, a one year type, and two types of Dumps. Also on offer is a selection of Australian Pre-Decimal coins, some from the eponyomous 'Benchmark Collection' which are recognised as the finest known. The World coins includes some exciting mis-strikes and this is followed up by a wide selection of quality Australian and World banknotes. The sale concludes with a selection of vintage movie posters which will allow collectors to capture many happy cinema memories. Happy Bidding. Smalls Auctions
