Interlinked Rings, N•HAMP•S / MASSASCHS / CONNECT•T / R•ISLAND / N•YORK / N•JERSEY / PENNSILV / DELAWARE / MARYLAND / VIRGINIA / N•CAROLIN / S•CAROLIN / GEORGIA. A Central Ring, AMERICAN CONGRESS• / WE ARE ONE. This 1776 Continental Dollar piece offers a rare and significant opportunity for collectors to acquire one of the few examples in American numismatics that prominently features the pivotal year of 1776, marking the birth of the United States. The initials 'EG' in 'EG FECIT' ('EG made this') are attributed by Eric P. Newman to Elisha Gallaudet, c.1730-1805. While the intended purpose and specific origin of these pewter pieces remain uncertain and whether indeed originally intended as a coin or medal, they are traditionally and widely regarded as the first series of American Dollar coins. This example is understood to be totally fresh to the market, having been recently discovered in a local property, unearthed from an old toffee tin containing a collection of jewellery, object d’art and curiosities, believed to have been sealed and essentially forgotten about for decades.

Amongst Rowley's apprentices was Thomas Wright (in 1707) who then went on to become his successor and one of the most important makers of scientific instrument makers of the eighteenth century. Another apprentice was John Coggs who went on to become particularly well known for his sundials, most notably his universal ring dials. This design of portable pocket sundial was devised by Michael Butterfield, an English Instrument maker who settled in Paris around 1685. Although this type of dial became popular with other French makers (most notably those who worked nearby to Butterfield's workshop on 'Le Quay de L'Horloge') very few appear to have been made by English makers in London; hence the present lot is a particularly rare example.  Condition Report: The instrument appears to be in fine original condition with the only notable fault being a small shallow chip to the inside edge of the compass glass. The case is intact and in sound original condition. The right-hand eye for the securing latch is missing and there is a small loss to the wooden structure to the interior of the lid at this point. There is also a small section of the delicate raised lip (for locating/closing against the inner edge of the lid) to the lower section missing. The lid has a slight warp/distortion, and the velvet lining has overall fading/wear. The underside has some later pins towards one edge no doubt to secure lifting skin covering at some point. Otherwise, faults are limited to minor age-related wear. Condition Report Disclaimer
