An excellent private collection of model engines headlined the latest edition of Scotland’s only dedicated auction.

A good French agricultural model by Merlin & Cie. led the way at an impressive £2,600 and was immediately followed with a stationary mill engine by Vision Engineering Ltd realising £1,200.

Chess has rocketed in popularity thanks to its pandemic-safe nature as well as the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit and playing sets of quality are rabidly pursued.  We were delighted to offer a particularly fine ‘Staunton’ pattern set by the best maker of them all, Jacques, which made the equally fine price of £1,500.

A superbly restored Austin J40 pedal car turned heads at £4,000 while private collections of Britains, haulage and The Lord of the Rings models proved popular with collectors.

The inaugural Toys, Models & Pop Culture auction here at McTear’s certainly lived up to the billing.

A private collection of die-cast models made well over £4,000 with offerings of Matchbox keenly contested among collectors.

A Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire signed by J. K. Rowling and accompanied by the Golden Ticket from the signing was always going to attract interest and it duly exceeded expectations selling for an impressive £1,200 while a desirable set of Deluxe First Editions went to a new home for £650.

Comics proved particularly popular with both the older and newer generations: an early complete run of Silver Surfer went for £1,400 while a Deadpool first appearance in The New Mutants #98 made £280.

Finally a rare Space Conqueror Man of Tomorrow figure by Japanese firm Daiya provided a fitting finale going for £600 after online competition.
