Lot 75

The Cyclecar. Volumes 1 & 2. Two quarto hardbound half-leather volumes (covers worn, rubbed and marked, spines mis-numbered and spine edges cracked), holding the first 54 issues of the now rarely-found weekly "new motoring" magazine, from Vol. I, No.1, 27th November, 1912 to Vol. II, No.54, 1st December,1913. The very well-illustrated and informative issues are nearly all bound with their covers, lacking only those for numbers 4, 20, 24 and 34 and, although the pages are browned though age, the contents generally appear to be very clean and sound.

“Congratulations on what looked like a very successful sale ! You never mentioned that you did the auctioneering as well ... talk about doing the whole job ... see it into the building, find out what it is, decide if it’s for the Fine Art sale or the General Sale, lot it and describe it accordingly, and then sell it ... that really does count as seeing the job through from start to finish! Whilst the job isn’t over yet, it really is a case of so far, so good ... some items have sold for sums that exceeded our expectations, with one item in particular fetching a truly remarkable sum, so we’re very happy indeed... we’ve noted how accurate the guide prices are ... and how gratifying it is when the bidding goes sailing past the guide ! I found the whole week to be both gripping entertainment and pleasingly rewarding financially. Please accept my sincerest congratulations for a job well done, and we’ll look forward to the October and November Sales with bated breath ...”
