THE HENLEY PAIR-OAR RACE CUP

Image

This trophy is presented by Mr. Tom Nickalls. It is a handsome solid silver tankard of ancient Norwegian pattern. The body is decorated in relief with models of swans, bullrushes, and water-iris. The thumb-piece is a finely modelled lion rampant holding a shield bearing the Henley arms. “ Father Thames” is represented at the head of the handle and “ Isis” at the bottom. The lid is chased in bold relief with aquatic plants, the crest of the donor being in the centre. The tankard stands upon a massive ebonised pedestal, bearing silver plates engraved with the names of winners of the race since 1845. It bears this inscription: ‘‘ The race for pair-oars was instituted in the year 1815, the prizes being models in silver of racing-wherries. Since the year 1849 the prizes have been silver goblets. In the year 1895 Tom Nickalls, in commemoration of his sons having won this race, either with others or together, for five consecutive years, presented this challenge cup to Henley Royal Regatta.’’ The cup is the handiwork of the Goldsmiths’ and Silversmiths’ Company, 112, Regent Street, London, W.

A London Jeweler’s Ad

Here is how a London jeweler, Gordon Nathan, 26 Hatton Garden, advertised by post card. The caption reads, “She wants Gordon Nathan, 26-27 Hatton Garden. Old jewelery to sell, I suppose.” On the obverse of the card is this inscription : “Safety first— I bid highest prices for out-of-date broken or unwanted jewelry, and send cash by return for all postal consignments. Goods registered back immediately where offer is not accepted. Whether you have old jewelry to sell or wish to ask advice on any matter concerning jewels or precious stones, you are safe in coming to me.”
