A Collection of Automotive Memorabilia

It is with humble pride that we present an assembly of old tat rare and sought after automobilia belonging to the Rt. Hon. Edgar A. Jessop VC, MBE, DSO and (mainly) Bar^*. The items have been carefully selected^** from a collection spanning over 100 years of aviation and automotive history, and will be of great interest to collectors whose spouses are sufficiently understanding to allow this stuff in the house.

* with grateful acknowledgements to Edgar's creator, the sadly missed Ian Norris
** i.e. the rest was either in poor repair, of unknown function, actively dangerous or illegal. None of the above is mutually exclusive

WW1 Pilot's Goggles

Yellow tinted lenses, with case

These first world war aviator's goggles have yellow tinted lenses and leather face pads. The elastic headband has stretched somewhat but the adjusters work perfectly so it's possible to get a secure fit. The leather face pads would benefit from a dab of leather moisturiser, but are in excellent condition otherwise.

£100.00

 

WW2 RAF Flying Jacket

Unusually good condition with no cracking

We don't often see an RAF aircrew jacket as good as this one. It probably dates from around 1942 and is in fine, wearable condition. The leather is supple and free of cracks and the zips work smoothly. The lining is exceptionally good. There's some minor wear to the sheepskin near the waist buckle.
