This Weeks Auction Find Happy Days

bought a box of filthy plated ware at the auction the other day for a fiver --this morning I set to work in the workshop cleaning it up and uncovered this 1863 Sheffield 925 sterling silver -- bit of research and it weighs at around 265 scrap or 300 retail

it was black silver usually go`s black and you can feel the difference in the quality and weight without revealing the hallmarks for everyone else to see--- once I spotted it I buried it at the bottom of the box I was going to pay upto quid for the lot so when I was the only bidder at a fiver I was more than happy

at a viewing one Friday I found a crown derby tea pot in a box of crap somehow the lid ended up in a biscuit tin that was at the bottom of the box who`d want to buy a crown derby tea pot with no lid ----unless there happened to be one in the biscuit tin

I`ve dropped a few clangers learning the job bought a grand father clock couldn't figure out why nobody else was on it --it had no guts in it just the case and the clock face --and I`ve got an art deco dressing table on the van that's done around 4`000 mile this year
