Search, Soho, London, c.1780, the silvered vernier scale in arched window, beneath three acorn finials, further signed to the lower scale, 103 cm.The tube seems intact and shows a consistent column of mercury that responds either up or down with the reservoir adjustment screw, the spirit of the thermometer is evident and looks as if it responds to a finger placed on the tube (but very faintly)Generally good order, and seems to be functioning, this is no guarantee of accuracy or reliability as with any antique scientific instrument..

Grey by ‘M’ Section H.K.V.D.C.’ (Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps) dated 1937, his tunic, swagger stick, two portraits and dress swordProvenance: By direct family descent. Literature: There is a lack of documented information about Donald Grey, but by family repute, Donald, or Johnny as he was known, was walking down the street circa 1916/7 when a stranger gave him a white feather. Although he was only sixteen he looked older and this affront caused him to try to sign up, however the only service that would take on a sixteen year old was the Royal Marines.He joined up initially for hostilities only but fell in love with the Marines and received his commission and stayed on, with one of his postings being Hong Kong. At the outbreak of war, he was seconded to Vickers Armstrong and worked with R.J. Mitchell to conceive the Grey and Mitchell bombs, as well as working on desalination units for submarines.Sadly Johnny met with a premature end - whilst riding his motorbike to a demonstration of one of his new designs, he hit a rope across the road that was supposed to warn of an unexploded bomb up ahead, but the sign had fallen off. He was badly injured, sent to a plastic surgery hospital where he was given the wrong blood group and he died of pneumonia late in 1944.Johnny left behind his wife, two young children and an unborn baby.
