Never seen one of these before. Tucked inside the box was a very long aerial wire and another for interior use. Very few components inside: valves, resistors and capacitor. Looked great from the outside.
Did not make a reasonable reserve.
Vintage Black Dress
It was hung up in full view of the viewers. A lovely little black number which did not make a reasonable reserve.
Did not make an appropriate reserve.
Noddy, Big Ears and Mr Plod
High expectations for these characters which did sell but I thought they would go for more.
Corgi collection
These did generate a lot of bids. Some very good condition cars and freight vehicles not in their boxes.
Military chest full of horse tack and saddlery
This was the smelliest item on sale. No smell of horse just moth balls. It looked a bit like the costume box for War Horse. Indeed some items were from World War 1. The buyer was very pleased with his acquisition.
Sold for £60
London to Birmingham Railway commemorative book with prints
A lovely book full of plates of the railway being constructed and when finished which sold for less than a tenner. Another very pleased buyer.
Sold for £5
The Fishes of the British Isles
There were three books similar to this. There was good interest and this lot sold for the highest amount.
A starfish pendant mounted in silvered
The starfish was very well mounted in the silver pendant. A classy object in its time but probably not in line with today’s views about the use of animals in jewellery.
Sold for £10
Muffin the Mule tin
Another character from the childhood of several of those present at the auction.
Sold for £14
Pelham Puppets
Like so many markets that were a profitable niche for sellers a few years ago, Pelham Puppets are not commanding great prices. But if you do have one in mint condition, in its box, please bring it along.
Unsold
Silver Chain
A good looking and heavy silver chain.
Sold for £25
Bronze GR Bell
We had two similar bells this one with GR and another with ER. There were in the top ten of sales at this auction.
Sold for £75
Hornby Duplo train station platform
This one caught the bidder’s eyes. In good condition, lovely art deco colours, a winner.
