Rural and Domestic Bygones Again

 As usual I went for a look around the Rural and Domestic Bygones Sale at Campsea Ashe Auction Yard. They have 3 each year and last weeks was the first.

Although there were over 1,000 lots I didn't see anything that would warrant leaving a bid on.

I didn't hang about for long just  took some photos of some of the more interesting things they had ready for selling. I've not bothered to look to see what things sold for - they might be HERE but possibly not accurate

Someone was clearing out their collection of flat irons. I had a collection - of 2- and cleared mine to a charity shop before I moved!

Probably the same person had a collection of trivets for their irons

Some very old brass rubbings

Lots of old kitchenalia in the sale

Ice Cream cart - wonder if someone has just put this together as it looked shiny and new

A Very unusual sale entry was this garden sized model train with carriages that children can sit on, there's a heap of rails on the bottom photo. It looked as if it had once been at the Amusement Park in Felixstowe


 Nice globe

Cased model ships - quite unusual for this sale, there were some cased taxidermy too but not very good ones.

Tiny gauge model railway layout is it N gauge? rather than 00 I think

I liked this wall mounted mirror backed candle holder thing

I always take a photo of biscuit moulds if there is one. This has an odd creature on it

 

Old Victorian oil lamps? or are they reproductions stuck on older bases.

 

Now this is strange because it was in the last sale I looked at, and  I remember looking to see its sale price so either it didn't reach it's reserve, someone has put it back in the sale or someone is making/faking them!

Huge collection of Cornish ware

And then home for lunch!

Next sale like this is July although they have normal mixed sales every Monday.
