<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 74388, member: 25&quot;]Latest update, I had my friend the auctioneer round here today and he was reasonably excited by the hoard, we listed many lots to go to auction, including the Columbian exposition mug and the US eagle fronted CDV album, and the auction or more likely auctions will be on the internet if any US bidders are interested.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I am in no hurry the plan is to place the items in the most appropriate sale (high quality, run of the mill or specialist) over possibly the next six months.</p><p><br /></p><p>The chap has been involved in a few TV antiques programs so looking at the stuff was interspersed with some background gossip about the TV world and a certain amount of personal catching up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Early next week we ship a car load of antiquarian books down to the Cotswolds to a specialist book auction, where despite the poor condition of many, they should more than cover all our costs and expenses for the whole hoard by themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>More waiting, of course, but it does give something to look forward to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
