WAY back in my youth it was fairly common that children had an hobby collecting stamps, coins or cards. Collecting can become more of an expensive hobby especially in this instance where coins from many common- wealth countries have been collected over a long period celebrating such as First Concord Flight 1976. Most of these boxed sets are silver and therefore overall value in excess of £2000 is expected. The original 4 Action Men with clothing and accessories are now more scarce and col- lectors will be out in force to secure this Lot.


From 2 separate es- tates old Firemen’s helmets have arrived particularly one be-


longing to the French Fire Service.


Several Lots of silver are included in the auction. From one property various pairs of Victorian and Geor- gian serving spoons were found as well as boxed condiment set, coffee spoons, tea- spoons and baby push and shove cutlery set. The quality and crafts- manship seen in Victo- rian mahogany furni- ture leads me to believe that the dip in recent sales will slowly return. A mahogany kneehole desk with nests of drawers either wide would adapt to make an ideal com- puter table in the mod- ern world with drawers still sliding as if made yesterday. A very early coffer has been sent for sale and if weight
