Excuse the dreadful pun (and apologies to David Hasselhof!) but i thought it might be worth bringing any items of possible interest on Ebay into one thread.
To kick off (and for those of you with older sound equipment) there is a rare bit of vinyl on Ebay at the moment:
RCA CAL 590. "INCIDENTAL MUSIC BY STANLEY BLACK, DIALOGUE FROM THE MOVIE SOUNDTRACK OF JACK THE RIPPER. COMPLETE STORY OF THE WORLD'S MOST WANTED CRIMINAL. NARRATION BY CEDRICK HARDWICKE"
THIS IS A RARE 1960 MONO RELEASE THAT FEATURES THE COMPLETE STORY OF JACK THE RIPPER NARRATED BY CEDRIC HARDWICKE WITH MUSIC AND DIALOGUE FROM THE FILM.
VINYL IS VG+, FRONT COVER IS VG+ BACK COVER IS VG WITH RING WEAR. THERE IS TAPE ON THE TOP SPINE.

I think this thread is a great idea. We all bemoan the disappearance of evidence and wish some would turn up. If it does, it could very easily make its way to ebay. |

"possibly a most controversial lot . 7 oils on hmp prison mattress covers painted by the notorious Yorkshire Ripper - Peter Sutcliffe and signed by him .These items were given to a cellmate now deceased .His relative owns these items and wishing to remain anonymous has asked me to sell them for him .I am on commission and will donate 25% of my fee to charity (details on request).There is abundant documentary proof of authenticity available and other lots of ephemera and memorabilia including correspondence from Charlie Richardson ,Reg Kray and others, will be available to interested parties.Questions welcome .Several bizarre "satanic" subjects and portraits of fellow prisoners included much fuller details available . No Nutters or Freaks please!!! various sizes from 46 x 69 to 74 x 48 cms mostly framed.On instruction from my client, I reserve the right to cancel this sale at any time and for any reason.The items are on sale elsewhere .my client is understandably "sensitive "about these items since they were the property of his late relative.Documents referring to these paintings and establishing their authenticity/provenance will be included in the lot"

Paintings painted by a nutter and a freak not available to other nutters and freaks?
Please... I need a bucket.
Actually I would pay a quid for the lot, just to throw them in the fire and then dance around it singing 'art my bloated buttocks!'
If Sickert murdered art, then this complete and utter nutter and freak has crucified it.
It will be his poetry next:
'I used screwdriver, hammer and nail
because I was a totally inadequate male,
failing erection
I did dissection
but upon further inspection
there was still no erection
so for a start
I took up art
and a bit of rhyme
just to pass the 'time'.

Very Scarce London Metropolitan Police Whistle

Item Specifics - Antiquarian/Collectible Books
Binding: Hardcover Special Attributes: 1st Edition
Category: Law & Government Printing Year: 1891
Sub-Category: --
From beginning to end the proceedings are captured herein, exciting detail from the records and transcripts of the trial. So notorious and so controversial was the Maybrick Case that this publication was hoped to sate the public's desire for disclosure. This book is very scarce. I have searched high and low and cannot find another 1891 copy. Of further interest the controversy continues to this day because of the Jack the Ripper connection. It is believed that the deceased Mr. James Maybrick was The Ripper. This book is in great shape being a good solid reading copy though there is one fault of note: the title page has lost the topinch in a strip right across the top. There is some dingage of substance to the tips and some board is showing. There are scuffs rubs too. The gilt on the spine treatment is there but perhaps faded by a factor of 20%. None of this detracts from the content and this is an excellent, scarce and collectible.

Let me take this moment to say "MINE!"
LOL, thanks, Chris, I liked the print a lot and it had a Buy It Now price the same as the opening bid it wanted, so I grabbed it. I'm sure it'll be useful to illustrate some article at some point or another. Plus I collect old prints and books, and I had some money in PayPal all ready to spend... which is why I normally like to move that out to my checking account as soon as it gets there so I don't spend it right away.

LONDON CITY SUBURBS
AS THEY ARE TO-DAY
BY
PERCY FITZGERALD
ILLUSTRATED BY W.LUKER, JR,
FROM ORIGINAL DRAWINGS
THE LEADENHALL PRESS, LONDON 1893 FIRST EDITION
Original cloth gilt on bevelled boards,top edge gilt, some wear to extremities, half an inch white mark on margin of rear cover ( remains of old damp mark), occasional light spotting. Overall a very good copy-tight and square-no loose pages. Tissue guard frontis
Over 300 illustrations specially printed in Paris by William Luker (1862-1934), many full page. 350 pages.
A richly illustrated tour of Victorian London's suburbs- the inner suburbs of Westminster, the northern suburbs of Marylebone, the northern heights of Hampstead, Highgate and Muswell Hill, the outer northern and eastern suburbs of Barnet, Epping Forest, Whitechapel and Willesden, the southern suburbs of Clapham, Putney and Wimbledon, the river suburbs of Chelsea, Chiswick, Richmond andTwickenham.
To the contemporary eye, what impresses is the rural character of the suburbs in 1893-but their identity as "suburbs" is already marked.
Dedicated to "Her Majesty- the Queen-Empress"

A used, but nice tight and clean paged books. The pages are starting to brown. The covers do have some very slight edgewear. A very good copy.

A nice true-crime collectors book..

These rare volumes,if you can find them, command high prices. Not surprising when it's hard do justice to this wonderful compendium of middle-class Victorian Life. Bound 26 copies of The Graphic magazine. Literally thousands of illustrations and stories on Victorian life, travel, art, sport. Lillie Langtry advertising soap, life in the far flung colonies, a magnificent folded panorama of Brighton; prints of Chatsworth House, Cardinal Manning's funeral. a terrible illustration of a women's shelter in Whitechapel etc etc. Astonishing and valuable volume. Weeks of engrossing reading for the Victorian enthusiast. January to June 1892. Huge 12 x 16 ins. Internally very clean and tight. Binding is if a high quality but there are tears to the leather. Like I have, I'm sure you've bought books only to find that their descriptions were, shall we say, inaccurate. I do not describe books as being, for example, in 'good condition' unless they are, bindings in particular. I hope you can trust my descriptions. See my feedback. I am a private seller. From UK I can only accept cheques, postal orders etc. For overseas buyers I can accept Paypal (or other means whereby I obtain full funds net of bank charges). POSTAGE UK £ 8.96. INTL despatch not recommended due to huge weight.

For the Cutbush enthusiasts!!
Kent Clocks and Clockmakers by Michael Pearson
Kent has a long history of clockmaking, with a clock being installed in Canterbury Cathedral as early as 1292. This book details Kent's early turret clocks, and the history of the county's most influential clockmakers. By the end of the seventeenth century Kent had a rapidly growing number of clockmakers, and by the eighteenth century a growing number of London-trained apprentices moved into the county. Though many Kent clocks have a style similar to those from London, a distinctive Kentish style developed, both for simple 'country' clocks and more particularly high-quality cases made in the east of the county with a distinctive Kentish cresting. There is a comprehensive list of over 1,200 clockmakers from the earliest times up to the nineteenth century, while an appendix gives extracts from local eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century newspapers relating to clocks and watches.
The author, Michael Pearson, is a dealer in early oak furniture and clocks in Canterbury, and has researched the history of the clockmakers of his native county for over twenty years.

SCOTLAND YARD POLICE CODE BOOK 1924
by Sir Howard Vincent, Commissioner for the Metropolis
This near-antique book is a Police Code book for the City of London and General Manual of the Criminal Law.
It begins with an inspirational quote for the officer from Field Marshal Earl Kitchener of Khartoum: " There is a great civilising power in the Policeman."
This copy belonged to a police officer, James R. Jones in the city of Westmount in the 1920s and 30s. He has signed the book, and folded into the book there is a letter to him from the Westmount city council in regard to his retirement pension in 1939, signed by a Mr. Bell of the council. (This will be included with the book.)

FYI, one of the other auctions listed above is a print by www.iln-prints.com (the company I just got the fish porters print from). You can go check out their web site to see the long list of prints they have. There are others in there I'm sure some people here might want too. There's a large full page portrait of Charles Warren on the cover of an 1886 Illustrated London News, for example. It might be worth looking through if you think you might be interested.

Thanks Chris... and Robert, regarding the Kent Clockmakers book up for grabs on E-bay.
But as sod's law would have it, I already bought the volume new for about forty quid... now I could probably get it for a quid!
And what's more it had no useful information in it anyway! |

This is the rarest of all the books on Jack The Ripper.... William Stewart's 1939 title, "Jack The Ripper: A New Theory"... THIS IS A PHOTOCOPIED A4 SPIRAL BOUND VERSION!!!!! The original of this is valued at £500+, and is extremely scarce, so much so most Ripperologists have never even seen a copy. I can assure you this is the ONLY copy in my posession. I will NOT be listing it again, after this has sold, as I do not have copying facilities, but if you have ..... this book is out of copyright !!! All serious Ripperologists should be going for this item!!!
