Toys, Model Engines & Pop Culture
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.
Consignments of toys and models, trading cards, video games and technology, Railwayana, automobilia, autographs and pop culture memorabilia are invited for our next auction on 13th October.
