Property/Auction Collectors keep their balance over toys

AN ECLECTIC range of entries aided by internet marketing ensured a good turnout at John Goodwins latest collective auction sale at the Three Counties Showground. There was a great deal of pre-sale interest, mostly from specialist collectors, in a collection of early Star Wars figures and Lego space series sets dating from the 1970s. Commission bidders, telephone bidders and a number of enthusiasts who attended the sale helped to achieve a total hammer price for the small collection of almost 2,000. Top price for the Lego sets was 155 and the Star Wars figures 170. Other toys created a significant amount of pre-sale interest including some early Action Man figures selling at 70. One of the more modest entries in the toy section was a quantity of Weebles items which led to an impromptu verse of Weebles wobble but they dont fall down bringing a smile to the faces of those attending of a certain age! Furniture once again produced a mixture of results with some items achieving disappointing prices. However, there were one or two very pleasant surprises including a Regency rosewood sofa table in need of restoration which sold at 1,400 and a diminutive walnut drop leaf table, also requiring attention, at 400. A similar hammer price was achieved for a rosewood cupboard with gallery and a mahogany lowboy sold at 420. There was interest in oriental items including a Chinese lacquered screen sold at 300. Books performed extremely well with an early French novel having a lovely leather binding selling at 300 and a Book of Common Prayer printed in Oxford in 1675, 120. A Grant of Arms scroll in its original Victorian box also sold to a specialist collector on the telephone at 240. Once again it was the more unusual items that produced the most surprising results. A short malacca cane concealing a measuring rod and identified as a hunt terrier measuring stick was estimated at 100-200. As a result of considerable pre-sale interest, two telephone bidders contested the measuring stick to a final hammer price of 480.
