New Blackmore Vale, July 23, 2021 Antiques & Collectibles
It’s a busy 2-day auction weekend at Wincanton Auctions this Friday 30th and Saturday 31st July...
On the Friday is a specialist Cigarette and Collectors Card sale of which the majority of lots under the hammer are from a single enthusiast with a catalogue value in excess of £250,000. The collection, to be sold in 2 parts, was built up over 50 years and grew to such a size that it was eventually housed in a purpose-built room. Cigarette cards have been around since the late 1800’s and were originally just blank card with the purpose of stiffening what were back then otherwise 昀imsy cartons. The idea of creating collectors’ cards to promote brand loyalty was born and the cards became immensely popular. Dubbed ‘The Working Man’s Encyclopaedia’ as most working-class families could not afford books, and newspapers featured very few pictures, they brought famous faces, historical and geographical images and facts to the masses. There are over 250 lots in the Card Sale mostly being multiple set Albums with rare sets in the auction including a Fry’s Cocoa ‘Days of Nelson’ 25 card set issued in 1906 with guide prices being 10-20% of Catalogue Values. On day 2 the General Sale commences with Gold Coins, a Ladies Gold & Diamond Rolex Datejust watch, a 2ct Natural Columbian Emerald and Diamond Ring and other jewellery and leads on to a fantastic collection of remote-control Model Submarines and Boats. Imagine your own 5ft diving U-Boat for Bath time or even a Sharks Fin to terrorise bathers. For horologists there are some lovely clocks including an impressive Howard Miller Millennium Longcase Clock. For the musical and entertainers there is a Technics sx-7000 Keyboard and other Audio equipment and for art lovers a large Surrealist Painting entitled ‘Uptown Girl and Friend’ by Glasgow Artist Ally Thomson. For handy people there are lots of tools ranging from industrial lathes to vintage planes and if you are looking to shed some post lockdown pounds, we have punchbags, weights and exercise machines. If you are looking to enjoy the sunshine, we have lots of garden furniture, planters and ornaments including Lion statues and even a Gorilla!
We will be welcoming customers back into the Saleroom for the fun and excitement of live bidding as well as being able to watch, listen and bid live online using smartphones, tablets or PC’s. Viewing 10am-5pm Thursday 29th and Friday 30th . The Sale starts 10am.

The Charterhouse auction of classic and vintage motorcycles at Haynes International Motor Museum was a huge success totalling £365,000. George Beale said: “There was a great line-up of motorcycles from the 1920s to modern superbikes. They were also in all shapes, sizes and conditions!” Top lot was a recently built Manx Norvin. A Norvin is a hybrid bike with a Vincent engine and a Norton frame. Having been built for display the owner had never ridden it. One of the first things the new owner did was to take it for a short ride. A 1947 Vincent HRD Rapide with a Watsonian sidecar, in the same ownership since 1965, sold for £29,750, a 1974 Ducati Sports sold for £28,000, and a 1962 BSA Rocket Gold Star sold to an
