The James and Sons sale on Saturday exceeded all expectations. After a slow start, with postal history not attracting a great amount of attention there were notable highlights involving rare stamps, militaria, coins & banknotes, postcards and cigarette cards. For a full account you will have to wait until I have sent out the official press release(s). A China Campaign medal estimated at £40-50 made £160, while the undoubted highlight of the whole auction saw a valubale collection of rare early cigarette cards housed in an old London Cigarette Card album valued at £500-800 reach the dizzy heights of £1,550. Until I have done the press release(s) tomorrow I have no images from the auction to upload, so offer an image I created of the lot I bought for myself, a set of cigarette cards depicting cricketers of 1934.
King’s Lynn Asperger Support Society (KLASS) will have its regular monthly meeting a week today from 6PM to 8PM at the Lattice House (a change in the hours they are open to the public means that the Community Hub is no longer a suitable venue, so we are looking for a replacement).
