Auction at Badger Farm Community Centre Winchester 5 July 2014

Postcards are always popular with collectors and the series of World War 1 sweetheart songs were in fantastic condition and had no problem attracting buyers.

Amongst the 365 lots that went under the hammer this month were old pine trunks, toy trains, watercolours, jewellery and a 1940’s school wall clock.
