Itchen Abbas Auction in progress
Itchen Abbas Auction in progress
The last auction of the year is at Itchen Abbas Village Hall. The three previous auctions this autumn have all been well attended with over 400 lots at each. So we are looking forward to a Grand finale. There is a good collection of vintage books including some first editions for sale on Saturday. These be seen shown below along with a Royal Doulton Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. We hope to show you a collection of farthings, 19th and 20th Century stamps shortly. I wonder what else there will be?

Another auction full of buyers and lots at Badger Farm. There were 420 lots covering a wide range of items from silver to toy trains, costume jewellery to a wedding dress, dolls to vintage sewing machines.

A couple, at least, of eagle eyed buyers spotted something valuable in a box of mixed china. It had commemorative bird plates on top but something more interesting underneath and sold for £100. One of a pair of stamp album collections sold for £70. You can see the top ten lots below.

Our next auction is at Itchen Abbas Village Hall on the 2nd December. We look forward to seeing you there.
