This service has been specifically tailored to represent collectors and families whose passion or attachment to a very personal collection can best be represented by equally passionate specialists.

The Curious and Collectable auction has been curated and catalogued by consultant specialist Marc Allum. Marc explains the ethos behind this auction category “Collecting is part of the human condition and our propensity for accumulation is as old as time itself The sophisticated nature of that trait has changed through history and has absorbed some of the greatest minds because the very nature of collecting has also advanced all aspects of science and philosophy through the ages. It is our inherent obsession with mortality, art, literature, religion and psychology that has driven man to some of his greatest creations and the 'Curious and Collectable' auction caters for that aspect of our psyche Be it the mechanical, the musical, the cult of personality, ethnographic or even the macabre, there is something here to pique the curiosity of the collector in all of us ”

Marc has been an expert on the BBC Antiques Roadshow for 24 years His eclectic and broad knowledge stems from an inherent and exacting interest across a wide spectrum of the art and antiques business With over thirty years’ experience, his areas of expertise range from pre-history to modern design. His early career was forged as Director of Rosebery’s auctioneers in London but in latter years he has worked closely as a consultant with his Roadshow colleague Lee Young and is pleased to be on board helping to develop the Dore & Rees brand Marc has appeared on numerous other television and radio shows over the years, writes regularly for mainstream magazines and is an author with several books to his name. As an Arts Society registered lecturer, he also talks frequently to groups around the world. Marc is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and an ambassador for the Association of Heritage Engineers.

The Lord Lew Grade Collection

Lots 1-63 to be offered without reserve

Lew Grade, Baron Grade (1906 – 1998; born Lev Winogradsky) was one of Britain’s greatest media proprietors and impresarios. His family originated from what we now know as Ukraine where he was born in 1906. In 1912 his family escaped the pogroms via Odessa and Berlin to settle in Shoreditch in the East End of London

His early life was spent in the clothing trade but in 1926 he was declared Charleston Champion of the World where one of the judges was Fred Astaire. His career as a dancer, and later a talent agent led onto Grade's interest in television production, when in 1954, he successfully bid for franchises in the newly created ITV network, which led to the creation of Associated Television (ATV).

Having worked for a time in the United States, he became aware of the potential for the sale of British television programming to American networks The Incorporated Television Company (commonly known as ITC Entertainment) was formed with this objective Grade went on to have success with many cult series in association with the ABC network producing Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation classics such as Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet. Also British genre series like Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner and The Persuaders. Later Jim

Grade also invested in feature film production but several expensive box-office failures caused him to lose control of ITC, and ultimately resulted in the disestablishment of ATV after it lost the ITV franchise. However, classics like On Golden Pond remain critically acclaimed. Lew was typically characterised by his love of large Monte Christo cigars.

Henson's The Muppet Show became a major hit.

Pop Memorabilia, Autographs, Film, Entertainment, and Sport

Lots 122-194 including The Mike Weston Collection

Mike Weston

From an early age Mike was always interested in music

By the age of 16, he was the drummer in a band in the Birmingham area called The Cavalls. Although they never made the big time, they played on the circuit of clubs and dance halls in that area and supported acts who did go on to stardom In 1963 they won a competition and went to London to record their winning entry (their version of ‘Autumn Leaves’) but, sadly, nothing came of it

Between 1965-1980 Mike worked in sales and then marketing positions, for various record companies, namely Phillips (including their Vertigo label), Warner Bros (WEA), Jet Records, Peerless and Rediffusion. He worked closely with the labels’ artists – promoting and attending band signings, record launches, tours, concerts, and parties (including the notorious one given in 1974 by Led Zeppelin at Chislehurst Caves to launch Swan Song Records).

In 1980 he went to the MAM (Management, Agency & Music) Group, which went on to become part of the Chrysalis Group. Mike concluded his career in music and entertainment at SSVC, the Services Sound and Vision Corporation, responsible, amongst others, for the British Forces Broadcasting Serviceand the live events arm Combined Services Entertainment

AN EXCELLENTLY ENGINEERED 5’’ GAUGE MODEL OF A GWR

1500 CLASS PANNIER TANK STEAM LOCOMOTIVE despite being a Frederick Hawksworth design (the last chief mechanical engineer of GWR) all ten that were built (1500-1509) were completed just after nationalisation in 1949 under the new Western Region of British Railways.
