ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir interesting portfolio of sale<br />
items include cigarette & trade cards,<br />
postcards, toys, sporting memorabilia,<br />

internet and bidders are attracted from all<br />
over the world. A part set of Ice Hockey<br />
Players issued by the Canadian Company<br />
Maple Crispette Co soared away at<br />

ever-popular beer label section and the<br />
highlight of the sale was a single label<br />
issued by the Richmond Brewery Co<br />
for Oatmeal Stout which sold for £900.<br />
Prices can vary greatly but as can be<br />
seen high figures can be achieved for<br />
scarce single items.<br />

it coincided with the latest Bond film<br />
release & first editions of <strong>The</strong> Spy Who<br />
Loved Me & Goldfinger sold for £1000 &<br />
£1500 respectively.<br />
<strong>The</strong> regular postcard section didn’t fail to<br />
disappoint as many single cards attracted<br />
competitive bidding. A collection of Art<br />
Nouveau cards by the artist Raphael<br />
Kirchner reached prices ranging from<br />
£50 to £85 each. Suffragette images are<br />
always popular and a single card showing<br />
the Suffragette Office in Reading made<br />
an impressive £420. Advertising cards,<br />
usually with colourful artist drawn images,<br />
are a well collected area and in this sale<br />
cards advertising Cycle Companies,<br />

achieved good prices.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Company’s next auction will be held<br />
in <strong>Dec</strong>ember when another interesting<br />
range of lots will be on offer.<br />
