“Dear Mr. Stamp re:Leica 3A No.166641 Thank you for your letter regarding the above camera. The camera and the Summar f/2. lens to which you refer were given to me by Herr Rudolph Hess during the winter of 1936/37 when I was staying in Hindelang (the old province of Allgaii) for winter sports, during which time Herr Hess and his wife quite unexpectedly, so far as I was concerned, also came to stay at the same hotel. I met him on several occasions during which we talked about various matters, some political and some commercial, and for no reason that I am aware of he gave me the camera before I left. A few years ago I went to considerable trouble, including communication with the Leica Company to try and obtain proof of ownership of the camera by Herr Hess, assuming he bought it direct from them but which I have no proof of, It appears that any records relating to the transaction were either lost or destroyed during the War, and therefore since the camera was given to me without witness there is no proof that I can offer. During the early part of the 50s I gave the camera to my late brother Mr. Kenneth Horstmann who gave it back to me a few years later as he lost interest in photography. Yours sincerely, B. G. Horstmann.”

362. An Important John Cuff ‘First Form’, Solar Microscope, English, c.1743, unsigned but by Cuff, the square solid mahogany plate with a rotating centre mounted to the front with a brass flange into which screws the main body of the microscope constructed of brass with leather covering, a drawer tube has a mount at the front onto which fits the Wilson-type screw barrel microscope, at the rear of the microscope is a single condenser lens in a brass frame and the adjustable mirror in a brass-bound frame, with a sharkskin covered case lined with green silk velvet with 6 objectives, handle for the Wilson microscope, talc box, tweezers, mahogany plate 20cm x 20cm. Footnotes: According to Clay & Court, in their book, ‘The History of the microscope’ an identical instrument belonged to George the III[i] and formed part of the Frank Crisp Collection, which after Crisps death, was sold at Stevens Auctions in 1925. The microscope was bought at the sale by the Science Museum and is now in their collections [ii]. The Cuff microscope, now in the science museum collection, is described in great depth by Clay & Court on pages 215-217, of their book, and includes an image of an identical instrument that they refer to as ‘Cuff Solar, First Form’, Clay and Court go on to state “The Solar Microscope.-Cuff appears to have been the originator of this form of solar microscope in which the tube was fixed, and the motion of the sun in the Heavens was allowed for by adjusting the mirror. One of the original forms of solar microscopes of Cuff’s make is illustrated in fig 1.48. It is mounted on a mahogany plate which is about eight inches square….”.

Clay and Court also allude to an original document held in the British Museum, dated 1743, in which Cuff claims “ I added a mirror to an ingenious suggestion of a friend who had introduced me to Dr. Leiberkuhn, and with the assistance of several Gentlemen of the greatest understanding and ability, I had been able to alter and improve it from time to time”. John Cuff (c. 1708 – c. 1772) was an important English scientific instrument maker during the 18th Century. Although he made all types of instruments today he is best known for his contribution to microscope design. In particular with his Solar or Camera Obscura microscope and his double microscope that became known as the ‘Cuff-type’. Unfortunately, Cuff was apparently not much of a businessman. Despite his ability, expertise, and patronage of the naturalist Henry Baker in 1750 he had to declare himself bankrupt [iii], just a year after, the main competitor of his, Benjamin Martin, opened a shop next door.

392. An Important 18th Century Cumming’s Pattern Cutting Engine or Microtome, Possibly French, c.1770, unsigned, the body of the instrument is made of brass tube finished on the outside with a black and mottled red fired enamel to simulate tortoiseshell, at the bottom is a lacquered brass end with a wheel engraved with a scale on a fine steel thread, as the wheel is turned the specimen is raised in front of the blade at the other end, the scale is marked against the brass stop next to the wheel, at the other end is the rotating elliptical blade, this is rotated by turning the polished lignum handle, two knurled wheel at the side are used to hold the blade in place and stop rotation, the other is used to hold the specimen push rod securely in the body of the instrument, the cutting engine comes in its original Fine red Moroccan leathercovered case lined to the inside with red chamois leather, in the case, there is the original shaped stone for sharpening the elliptical blade, a glass slide, a cut-glass bottle with a stopper and another similar but taller with a silver cap, the case 17.4cm wide Footnotes: The Cumming’s Cutting Engine - The instrument that changed microscopy. In 1770 a book was published by John Hill (b.1714 – d.1755) on the structure of wood as examined under the microscope. In this book ‘The Construction of Timber from its Early Growth, Explained by the Microscope’, Hill illustrated finely cut sections of wood which were only made possible due to the recent invention of cutting engine or microtome designed and built by Alexander Cumming (ca.1743 – d.1814). This instrument allowed thin sections to be cut so that light could pass through enabling, for the first time, microscopists to see the cell structure of plants. This simple step revolutionised the use of the microscope into a serious scientific instrument. It was George Adams,, then, maker of scientific instruments to King George III, who before this pivotal moment had lamented that the interest in the microscope had waned, famously stating of microscopy “either satisfied with the discoveries already made … or tired by its own exertions”, after Hill’s book was published Adams went on to say “So important a subject soon revived the ardor for microscopic pursuits, which seems to have been increasing ever since”. From Hill’s book, it was stated that Mr. Cummings had made two or three of his cutting engines, the design was then passed to Ramsden who made them commercially, one of which resides today in the collection of the Oxford Science Museum. The Cumming’s Pattern Cutting Engine proved difficult to use as keeping the curved blade sharp was a problem. It doesn’t appear to have been a great commercial success with only a few instruments surviving today. However, the value of these sections that could be produced for microscopy was now realised and new microtomes were designed and produced by a number of scientific instrument makers. These instruments were easier to use and produced better results consigning the Cumming’s Pattern Cutting Engine to history. The design of the instrument offered here is particularly interesting and worth considering. Unlike the existing English instrument by Ramsden this instrument appears to be French in construction: the box is very typically continental with the inside lined with red chamois leather; the instrument has some typically French features with the double knurling of the brass adjusting wheels; the way the lignum handle is turned suggests there may well be Dutch influence. As far as we are aware this is the first time a Cummings Cutting engine has ever been offered for sale at auction. £8000 - £12,000

Footnote: Dr Edmund Ronalds (1819-1889) was an academic and industrial chemist, he obtained his doctorate in Germany, Dr Ronalds became a lecturer at the Middlesex Hospital in London, then the inaugural professor of chemistry at Queens College (now the National University of Ireland) in Galway, Ronalds resigned to run the important Bonnington Chemical Works in Edinburgh. During his medical research, he published new findings on the constituents of human bile and urine that were of value in clinical tests, later a pioneer in incorporating advanced research into a manufacturing firm, including being the first to isolate ethane, butane and propane dissolved in crude oil. Arguably his most important publication was a series of books with Thomas Richardson in the period 18481855 entitled Chemical Technology, recognised as standard texts, these effectively brought the word “technology” into the English language and introduced university teaching of chemistry applications for industry, which evolved into the discipline of chemical engineering early in the 20th century.

463. An important Kelvin-Pattern Electrostatic Machine, the ‘Replenisher’, English, c.1875, signed to the lacquered brass top ‘Elliot Bros, London’, with brass top holding an insulated conductor, in the centre is a spindle holding the internal rotor, all supported in a hand blown glass vessel with a broken point to the base, dimensions 14cm tall. Footnote: The “Replenisher” electrostatic machine is considered the first symmetrical rotating electrostatic influence machine. The principle was first described in Giuseppe Belli’s book on electricity published in 1838, 42 years before James Wimshurst invented his famous influence machine, which by 1883, was widely known as the Wimshurst machine. However it was Lord Kelvin (William Thomsom), who in 1867, developed an electrostatic machine based on Belli’s original design for electrifying the ink in a telegraph printer, Kelvin called this small instrument a “Replenisher” (i) Elliot Brothers, who built this instrument, were a well-known maker of scientific instruments who specialised in electrical equipment and were early makers of telegraph equipment. In 1875 at the The Society of Telegraph Engineers (ii) exhibition Eliot brothers presented a number of instruments, one of which, exhibit no. 133. Was a “Replenisher. For use with quadrant electrometer””. Giuseppe Belli (1791-1860) was an Italian physicist (iii) , and Professor at the Universities of Milan, Padua and Pavia, where, between 1842 and 1860, he held the chair once occupied by Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), he conducted research in meteorology, thermology, and other fields, but his chief interest was electrical phenomena, he is known for inventing many scientific instruments, including a new type of hygrometer, a psychrometer, an electrical duplicator, and a magneto-electric motor, he is credited with being the first person to develop an induction plate electrostatic machine. We have been able to find only one other “Replenisher” electrostatic machine which is held in the collection of the London Science Museum £2000 - £2500

Jewellery Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating may have been used on other gem stones. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care or re-treatment over the years to retain their appearance. Estimates The estimate is printed underneath the lot. Estimates are only an expression of Flints Actions opinion made on behalf of the vendor of the lot is likely to fall, it is not an estimate of value.
