Acreman Street Antiques

Acreman Street Antiques in Sherborne has been busy getting ready for its specialist coin and banknote auction on 22 April (the catalogue is available to view on easyliveauction.com) as well as the general antiques, fine art and collectors sale on 29 April.

With the arrival of spring and some early warmth and sunshine, people are starting to think about tidying up their gardens. There’s a large selection of garden furniture, pots and figures in Acreman’s upcoming general sale. Of particular note is a large-scale antique Lister steam engine and pump, mounted on wheels and estimated at £200-300. There’s also a fabulous collection of around 100 vesta cases; a number of antique air-twist glasses, including rummers; a collection of antique framed horse racing prints; and the usual furniture, jewellery, silver and watches, including entries being sold on behalf of the Yeovil Hospital Charity Breast Cancer Unit Appeal.

Make sure to note 20 May in your diary, when Acreman holds its specialist textile, fashion and apparel auction. There’s also the regular general antiques auction at the end of the month.

Acreman Street Antiques is very happy to advise on any items you may be wishing to enter into auction. Its knowledgeable staff can also make home visits and arrange house clearances where required.

If you have any enquires, contact Gill Norman on 07908 333577/01935 508764, or email auction@ acremanstreetantiques.co.uk.

Green Goddess goes on sale

Duke’s is excited to announce it will be offering a private collection of the late Lance Corporal Dennis Jones within its militaria auction on 14 May, at the Tank Museum, Bovington, where Jones joined the Junior Leaders in 1963. He subsequently joined the Band of the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards and went on to serve in Aden, Benghazi, Cyprus, Malta, Ethiopia and the UK and then retired in Germany. His collection has been stored at his home in St Barthelemy in France, which played a pivotal role in the Battle of Mortain in July 1944. The land was a battlefield between the Americans and the Germans, with the British Typhoons giving aerial support, repelling the German tanks heading towards Avranches.

The collection will include a variety of helmets, uniforms, bayonets, headdress, a military Land Rover, a B31 motorbike and ‘The Green Goddess’ – a military fire engine in impeccable condition.

Find more information on the Duke’s website www. dukes-auctions.com. For a free and confidential valuation, please contact Julian Smith, Head of Sale, by telephone on 01305 265080 or email at julian.smith@dukes-auctions.com
