REGISTERING TO BID
New clients must register online to bid (whether in person or in absentia). This can be done via our website www.noonans.co.uk
Registrations will be subject to due diligence and Noonans reserves the right to cancel registrations.
Once registered, any client bidding for the rst time online will need to enter their card details so that a security check can be performed to authorise you to bid (www.noonans.co.uk >Your Account > Account Authorisation). This check is secure, your card details are not seen by us and no funds will be deducted.
BIDDING PRIORITY
Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price. It is therefore entirely possible that a lot can sell at your top bid to another bidder. To avoid this happening we o er an optional ‘Plus 1’ bidding increment facility, whereby if the bidding is against you at your maximum bid the auctioneer will execute one further bid on your behalf. Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the rst bid received.
PLACING BIDS
LIVE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
You may bid in real time from your computer or mobile device. We provide an optional live video and audio feed of the auctioneer, allowing you to participate in much the same way as attending the auction. You may see your invoice and pay online directly after you’ve nished bidding. There is no additional charge for this facility.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
We strongly advise this method if you wish to leave bids in advance as it is the easiest, most accurate and exible way to leave your bids and gives you total control over them right up to the point that the lot is o ered for sale. Bids made online cannot be seen by others and only become live at the point the lot is being sold. Up until this time your bids can be easily altered or cancelled. An automated email is sent to con rm any changes made. There is no additional charge for online bidding.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA POST, EMAIL OR TELEPHONE
Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted to us using post, email or telephone, it should be noted that all bids left with us in these ways will be entered at our o ces using exactly the same bidding facility to which all our clients have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online.
If you are registered with Noonans you may bid by email to bids@noonans.co.uk or by telephone to 020 7016 1700. All bids placed by email or telephone must be received before 4 PM on the day preceding the sale.
A bidding form is included in the back of this catalogue. If you wish to use this please ll it in carefully, to include all relevant information. Please ensure that you post this form so that it arrives, at the latest, the day before the sale.
BIDDING IN THE AUCTION ROOM
You are very welcome to attend the auction and bid in person if you are registered with Noonans.
Please note that the auction room is situated on the third oor of a Georgian building which doesn’t have a lift. You may pay for and collect your lots during the auction.
SALEROOM NOTICES
Should the description of a lot need to be amended after the publication of this catalogue, the amendments will appear automatically on the Noonans website, www.noonans.co.uk. All such amendments are also incorporated in the List of Saleroom Notices pertaining to this auction which are posted separately on the website. The auctioneer will refer to any notices at the time any a ected lot is o ered for sale.
CATALOGUE ILLUSTRATIONS & THE INTERNET
Prospective bidders are reminded that the Noonans website features high-resolution colour illustrations of every lot in this auction. There may also be additional illustrations of any lot.
BUYERS’ PREMIUM
The rate for this sale is 24% of the Hammer Price (+ VAT where applicable).
IMPORTATION VAT
Lots marked ‘X’ are subject to importation VAT of 5% on the Hammer Price unless re-exported outside the UK, as per Noonans Terms & Conditions of Business.
From 1 January 2021 importation VAT may be levied by EU countries on lots sold by Noonans and subsequently imported into those countries. Although Noonans is unable to advise buyers on customs regulations in their country of domicile, there is further information regarding EU importation VAT rates for collectable items in the Terms and Conditions published on the Noonans website.
BULLION LOTS
Lots marked ‘G’ will have the VAT element shown on your invoice.
PRICES REALISED
The hammer prices of lots sold at Noonans auctions are posted at www.noonans.co.uk in real time and telephone enquiries are welcome from 9 AM on the day after the auction.
PAYMENT
You may access your invoice shortly after the hammer has fallen on your last lot. As we weigh lots at the time of cataloguing most shipping is already calculated, enabling you to settle your account and receive your lots in a timely fashion. Auction attendees may pay and collect during the course of the auction as soon as they have bid on their last lot.
Full Terms and Conditions of Business are available to read in the back of this catalogue and on our website.

This collection of 70 17th century tokens of Cornwall, formed over the past three decades, includes many pieces from the important Bell collection, dispersed almost exactly 14 years ago. Despite paperback county studies by John Williams (1971), and then a joint work by Williams and the former RAFVR Flying Officer John Mayne (1985), no proper illustrated catalogue of the Cornish series has yet been published. Mr McCarthy is aiming to compile such a work, and to this end has kindly made available to the cataloguer background notes on almost all the issuers, much of which is quoted here.

In the 1664 Hearth Tax returns Andrew Rider was taxed on “9 the house pulled down & is now new built & has but four.” The Market House in Penryn, which incorporated the market bell, was let out each year to the highest bidder and the so-called ‘Farmer’ of the Market House was sometimes allowed expenses for repair during the year. In 1666 a new House was erected at the side of it. Andrew Rider was the !rst lessee and was granted 6 shillings for a lock, key and staple; he paid rent of £2 14 shillings per quarter, and the bell on his token signi!es his association with the building. Rider, who served a prison sentence as a Quaker, was buried at St Gluvias on 13 September 1689

Penryn, Ursula Spurr, Farthing, 1668, 0.77g/12h (N –; BW. 60). Very ne and extremely rare
Provenance: Bt N.A. Clark.
There is evidence in the 1658 Will of Vincent Smaley, father of Ursula Spurr, that she was married to an unsatisfactory husband. Smaley left his daughter £8 per year during her husband’s life, but if he died, she was then to have £100 per year – presumably he felt the husband was not competent to handle such a large amount of money. Her father also left her one silver sugar box “which was Lady Killigrews”. One wonders if the possession of this box, and its association with the notorious Killigrew family into which Jane Fermor (1584-1648) married and, as Lady Killigrew, later escaped to Penryn in 1633, had any in"uence on her, but Ursula also appeared very ready to cheat the authorities. In 1653 it was reported from Pendennis Castle that some bags containing 2,709 louis and 718 pieces of eight, taken from a prize ship, had been embezzled by one Capt William Wheatley and conveyed by him to the house of Richard Lobb. Benjamin Sergeant had also embezzled four bags of louis which he conveyed to the house of Christopher Lee in Smithicke, and he exchanged 1,000 of them at 4 shillings a piece with Ursula Spurr. Her husband, Henry, described as a Gentleman, was buried at St Gluvias, north of Penryn, on 15 June 1663. The 1664 Hearth Tax returns read “Henry Spurr (Mr) 7 ret 2 too many b.m. & now Mrs Ursula Spurr New tax payer”. Ursula Spurr, described as a widow, was buried at St Gluvias on 16 May 1678

Thomas Worth married Mrs Elizabeth Herle, widow, on 29 December 1657 at St Gluvias. The 1664 Hearth Tax returns show that he was taxed on 5 hearths “ret 1 too many by mistake”.
The 17th century contemporary accounts of the Enys family show very clearly the complexities of business transactions, and mention Thomas Worth, son of another by the same name, who had come from Barnstaple earlier in the century. It would seem that Worth had a shop or warehouse, for he was owed by Enys for 9 lb of sugar for which his wife had paid 9 shillings and 4 pence, and 801 yards of canvas to make sacks at 8 shillings and 8 and a half pence a yard. This amount was balanced against the debts of Worth to Enys. Merchants used each other as bankers; Samuel Enys’ daughter is known to have obtained £10 from Worth when she was in London

There were two Thomas Trewollas (probably father and son) in the parish registers between 1640 and 1695. The earlier Thomas’ wife was named Ann, and they had a son and four daughters between 1640 and 1646; this Thomas was Mayor of Truro in 1649, and at the time tried to obtain repayment of money he had lent to the government for the siege of Pendennis Castle. He was assessed at 13 hearths in the 1664 Hearth Tax returns. The later Thomas married Azias Osgood, née Oates, sometime after 1673 when her !rst husband died. She was a wealthy widow, having been left goods to the value of £561 4 shillings by her deceased husband. This Thomas was innholder at The Bull in the 1680s and by his Will, dated 15 February 1695 and proved on 8 September 1697, left family properties to the west of Penzance to his kinsman Robert Wells. It is likely that this token was issued by Thomas Trewolla senior, and the next by Thomas Trewolla junior

RICHARD DINWIDDY (1944–2023)
Richard grew up in Bicknoller, on the edge of the Quantocks, surrounded by his maternal Jennings family. Throughout his life, whether walking his dogs as a child, or walks with his family as an adult, the Quantocks would be the spiritual home for a man who was very much Somerset through and through.
He spent his formative years at Taunton School, as a boarder in Fairwater house. Perhaps more of a sportsman than an academic, he developed his love for cricket at an early age and was a fearsome fast bowler in his youth, representing Somerset CCC 2nd XI on many occasions, while as a clubman, Richard was very proud to reach his 60 years of service on and o the pitch in every capacity at Taunton Cricket Club.
Despite his height and strength, his rugby career was brief. Peaking as a goal-kicking second row for the third fteen, his eyesight was so poor that he had to guess where the posts were, but he did claim to have been drafted to play for Wasps against the school when they were short.
In a time when University was a less common route into work than today, Taunton School was followed
by a career as a valuer and chartered surveyor, including 25 years at the Bristol and West Building Society. Richard’s rst job was at Hunts where his academic record was glossed over, in part, he later admitted, thanks to his Father’s freemasonry connections.
His career ended prematurely in 1996 when, after a short but very serious illness, he received a lifesaving heart transplant. I don’t think anyone expected that it would provide him with an amazing, additional 27 years of life.
An unassuming and straightforward man, apart from cricket, Richard enjoyed the simple pleasures of watching Taunton Rugby Club, playing skittles, coin collecting, gardening, his cats (12 in total over the years) and classical music.

PETER JOHN LEE (1938–2022)
Peter Lee was born in Edgware, Middlesex, the eldest of four siblings. His family moved to Scotland in 1940 when his father, a Lieutenant in the army, was posted there. After the war ended, the family remained in Edinburgh for a further ten years.
Peter was educated at George Heriot’s School, Edinburgh, where he excelled, particularly in English, Geography and Economics. When the rest of the family moved back to London, Peter stayed in Edinburgh, living with his aunt while he nished his education.
In the late 1950s he rejoined his family in London and began his training to be a chartered accountant. At that time his parents ran the Hope & Anchor pub in east London. While living at the pub, Peter started playing the drums and formed a band with friends. After the death of his father, the family moved to Tooting, where his mother ran a shop. They later moved to Herne Bay; from there Peter commuted daily to London and worked in the City. He continued to play the drums, and joined a band called The Sect, who built up quite a following in and around the Whitstable area.
Later in the 1960s he met and married his wife Maureen, and after the birth of their second daughter they moved from Hornchurch to Tonbridge in Kent. They later moved to Langley, near Maidstone, and nally to the village of Hollingbourne, where he lived for the remainder of his life.
Peter was always interested in history and nature, and loved walking in the countryside. He was passionate about protecting the green belt areas around Hollingbourne and enjoyed metal detecting in the local elds, at times nding interesting objects. He was an avid collector, starting with stamps as a child in Edinburgh, and enjoyed visiting auctions and antique fairs to add to his various collections. Moving to the Kent countryside in the 1970s triggered an interest in the history of the county, and he built up large collections of related items, including old postcards and hop tokens.
Peter sadly died at the age of 83 in 2022 and is greatly missed by his family.

JOHN WHITMORE (1931–2016)
John Whitmore, born on Christmas Eve 1931, developed an interest in collecting at an early age. Like most young boys of his era, stamps, cigarette cards, football and cricket programmes were all deemed collectable, but even then John had an eye for something di erent. At six years old his passion was bus tickets, insisting on diving under hedges to retrieve discarded ones just in case they were di erent to those he had. That’s how it was for John, everything was collectable, and with an eye for something a bit di erent collecting grew into a lifelong enthusiasm.
Not long after John and Stella were married coins came to his notice. He had read an article in a Birmingham newspaper about pre-1947 silver, and
the rarity of certain dates. From then on, all his loose change was checked, and scarce dates were removed. This collection grew to be quite sizeable and, keen to learn more, he joined the Birmingham Numismatic Society. This made him aware that other collectors would be interested in his duplicates, so he prepared a list of those he wanted to sell and advertised the list in the coin magazines of the day. The response was so successful that he began to invest in better specimens and widened his scope and thus, with Stella helping by typing up the lists, ‘Lickey Coins’ came into being in 1969. Older collectors may remember the amusing adverts that appeared in the magazines, alerting them to the imminent arrival of the latest list. In those days it was posted, no online purchasing then!
This early success enabled him, after some years, to leave his job as a senior tax inspector in the civil service and turn his hobby into a business. In 1983 the family moved from near the Lickey Hills to the Malvern Hills, so Lickey Coins became ‘Whitmore’ and with a reputation for knowing what his customers wanted, he gained a loyal and much-loved customer base. Becoming aware of tokens and, speci cally, those of inns, played into his passion for social history and eventually these became his main area of collection. One particular highlight was the discovery of an octagonal Whitmore token issued by his greatgrandfather, also named John, who, in the 1870s, ran the Village Inn at Beoley, on the border with Warwickshire just north of Redditch.
A vibrant and active member of the coin trade in his day, he was an early member of the British Numismatic Trade Association (BNTA). His civil service background enabled him to lead discussions with the Treasury on behalf of the BNTA regarding the implementation of VAT. He was in uential in the development of the Association, serving on its council and many of its committees, and was its honorary treasurer for many years. In 1999 he was granted honorary life membership, one of only four people to be so honoured in the history of the organisation.
As John’s collection grew, he wanted to ensure that the wider numismatic world would bene t from his years of research, so he wrote and self-published several books based on his collection. Most notable are the uno cial farthing series and his magnum opus, The Token Collectors Companion.
Away from coins his interests were varied and included classical music, cricket, sci- , ornithology – and woe betide anyone who rang him when The Archers programme was on the radio in the evening. He and Stella also enjoyed visiting places to see interesting fauna and ora, both in Britain and abroad.
His family are extremely proud of what John achieved throughout his life, imparting his knowledge via his books, continuing his business producing Whitmore catalogues and continuing to collect until he died on 7 August 2016, aged 84. But they know it would have been his wish to share his private collection. This is why they are now making it available at auction so those who share his passion can enjoy it as much as he did. As Paul Withers has written elsewhere, the numismatic world is richer because of John’s contribution to it and we are all poorer for his passing, but those who knew him will remember him with pleasure.

The buyers’ premium is subject to the current rate of Value Added Tax if the lot is delivered to or collected by the purchaser within the UK.

Buyers who wish to hand carry their lots to export them from the UK will be charged VAT at the prevailing rate and importation VAT(where applicable) and will not be able to claim a VAT refund.
Buyers will only be able to secure a VAT free invoice and/or VAT refund if the goods are exported by Noonans or a pre-approved commercial shipper.

Refunds are subject to a £50 administrative fee.

When a lot is sold the buyer shall:
(a) con rm to Noonans his or her name and address and, if so requested, give proof of identity; and
(b) pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling within ve working days of the end of the sale (unless credit terms have been agreed with Noonans before the auction). Please note that we will not accept cash payments in excess of £5,000 ( ve thousand pounds) in settlement for purchases made at any one auction.
7 Noonans may, at its absolute discretion, agree credit terms with the buyer before an auction under which the buyer will be entitled to take possession of lots purchased up to an agreed amount in value in advance of payment by a determined future date of the ‘total amount due’.
8 Any payments by a buyer to Noonans may be applied by Noonans towards any sums owing from that buyer to Noonans on any account whatever, without regard to any directions of the buyer, his or her agent, whether expressed or implied.
9 Collection of purchases
The ownership of the lot(s) purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he or she has made payment in full to Noonans of the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling.
10 (a) The buyer shall at his or her own expense take away the lot(s) purchased not later than 5 working days after the day of the auction but (unless credit terms have been agreed in accordance with Condition 7) not before payment to Noonans of the ‘total amount due’.
(b) The buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges on any lot not taken away within 5 working days after the day of the auction.
(c) The packing and handling of purchased lots by Noonans sta is undertaken solely as a courtesy to clients and, in the case of fragile articles, will be undertaken only at Noonans’ discretion. In no event will Noonans be liable for damage to glass or frames, regardless of the cause. Bulky lots or sharp implements, etc., may not be suitable for in-house shipping.
11 Buyers’ responsibilities for lots purchased
The buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots purchased from the time of collection or the expiry of 5 working days after the day of the auction, whichever is the sooner. Neither Noonans nor its servants or agents shall thereafter be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in its custody or under its control.
Loss and damage warranty cover at the rate of 1.5% will be applied to any lots despatched by Noonans to destinations outside the UK, unless speci cally instructed otherwise by the consignee.
12 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchase
If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Conditions 6 and 10, or if there is any other breach of either of those Conditions, Noonans as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or
more of the following rights and remedies:
(a) to proceed against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.
(b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the defaulting buyer at the same or any other auction.
(c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting buyer shall pay to Noonans any resulting de ciency in the ‘total amount due’ (after deduction of any part payment and addition of re-sale costs) and any surplus shall belong to the seller.
(d) to remove, store and insure the lot at the expense of the defaulting buyer and, in the case of storage, either at Noonans’ premises or elsewhere. (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2 percent per month on the ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 5 working days after the day of the auction.
(f) to retain that or any other lot sold to the same buyer at the sale or any other auction and release it only after payment of the ‘total amount due’.
(g) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions or obtaining a deposit before accepting any bids in future.
(h) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the defaulting buyer towards settlement of the ‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting buyer which is in Noonans’ possession for any purpose.
13 Liability of Noonans and sellers (a) Goods auctioned are usually of some age. All goods are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. Illustrations in catalogues are for identi cation only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Subject to the obligations accepted by Noonans under this Condition, none of the seller, Noonans, its servants or agents is responsible for errors of descriptions or for the genuineness or authenticity of any lot. No warranty whatever is given by Noonans, its servants or agents, or any seller to any buyer in respect of any lot and any express or implied conditions or warranties are hereby excluded.
(b) Any lot which proves to be a ‘deliberate forgery’ may be returned by the buyer to Noonans within 15 days of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction, accompanied by a statement of defects, the number of the lot, and the date of the auction at which it was purchased. If Noonans is satis ed that the item is a ‘deliberate forgery’ and that the buyer has and is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot free from any third party claims, the sale will be set aside and any amount paid in respect of the lot will be refunded, provided that the buyer shall have no rights under this Condition if:
(i) the description in the catalogue at the date of the sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a con ict of such opinion; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of publication of the catalogue that the lot was a
‘deliberate forgery’ was by means of scienti c processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical.
(c) A buyer’s claim under this Condition shall be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and shall not extend to any loss or damage su ered or expense incurred by him or her.
(d) The bene t of the Condition shall not be assignable and shall rest solely and exclusively in the buyer who, for the purpose of this condition, shall be and only be the person to whom the original invoice is made out by Noonans in respect of the lot sold.
CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS
14 Warranty of title and availability
The seller warrants to Noonans and to the buyer that he or she is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. The seller will indemnify Noonans, its servants and agents and the buyer against any loss or damage su ered by either in consequence of any breach on the part of the seller.
15 Reserves
The seller shall be entitled to place, prior to the rst day of the auction, a reserve at or below the low estimate on any lot provided that the low estimate is more than £100. Such reserve being the minimum ‘hammer price’ at which that lot may be treated as sold. A reserve once placed by the seller shall not be changed without the consent of Noonans. Noonans may at their option sell at a ‘hammer price’ below the reserve but in any such cases the sale proceeds to which the seller is entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve. Where a reserve has been placed, only the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the seller.
16 Authority to deduct commission and expenses
The seller authorises Noonans to deduct commission at the ‘stated rate’ and ‘expenses’ from the ‘hammer price’ and acknowledges Noonans’ right to retain the premium payable by the buyer. 17 Rescission of sale
If before Noonans remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the buyer makes a claim to rescind the sale that is appropriate and Noonans is of the opinion that the claim is justi ed, Noonans is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to Noonans in respect of the lot.
18 Payment of sale proceeds
Noonans shall remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller 35 days after the auction, but if by that date Noonans has not received the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer then Noonans will remit the sale proceeds within ve working days after the date on which the ‘total amount due’ is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been agreed between Noonans and the buyer, Noonans shall remit to the seller the sale proceeds 35 days after the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller.
19 If the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction, Noonans will endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action and, so far as in Noonans’ opinion is practicable, will assist the seller to recover the
‘total amount due’ from the buyer. If circumstances do not permit Noonans to take instructions from the seller, the seller authorises Noonans at the seller’s expense to agree special terms for payment of the ‘total amount due’, to remove, store and insure the lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on such terms as Noonans shall in its absolute discretion think t, to take such steps as are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer if appropriate.
20 If, notwithstanding that, the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction and Noonans remits the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the ownership of the lot shall pass to Noonans.
21 Charges for withdrawn lots
Where a seller cancels instructions for sale, Noonans reserve the right to charge a fee of 15% of Noonans’ then latest middle estimate of the auction price of the property withdrawn, together with Value Added Tax thereon if the seller is resident in the UK, and ‘expenses’ incurred in relation to the property.
22 Rights to photographs and illustrations
The seller gives Noonans full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any lot placed in its hands for sale and to use such photographs and illustrations and any photographs and illustrations provided by the seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the auction).
23 Unsold lots
Where any lot fails to sell, Noonans shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-o er the lot for sale or to collect the lot.
24 Noonans reserve the right to charge commission up to one-half of the ‘stated rates’ calculated on the ‘bought-in price’ and in addition ‘expenses’ in respect of any unsold lots.
