Gearing up ready for the next BIG Elsecar w/e April 27 & 28, plus adding lots to our Sunday 26 May Antique Advertising & Breweriana.... very busy times @ BBR.....
April (& July) stall bookings in quickly will avoid the expected price rise to be implemented VERY VERY soon - aaaaargh!!!! Elsecar venue does not come cheaply, moreso with complex "hidden costs' but we remain stalwart in our extensive advertising to aim to keep the crowds thronging!!!!
The week started wonderfully with the Greenlees Doulton artware whisky jug... & ends almost as well - with delightful miniature tradesman's toilet sample, methinks the sink is a tad earlier, & is considerably a rarer beast?
Yesterday it was creams and inhalers - today I'm on the whisky jugs spread...
This scantily clad lady returns to BBR to find an appreciative new home... along with a few more figures....
This morning lotting in a variety of miniatures... great spread!
Posted on the Bottle Forums & FB - the real & the fake side by side. Will sell the REAL ONE on Sunday 28 April, & have the fake alongside for folks to handle & learn.
We've informed our database of stallholders about the much expected price increase here at Elsecar & offered the chance to book at last years rates. Thus the vast majority have already pre-booked their regular spots (wise/ astute/ tight, lol?). The show had a dark cloud hanging over it which has fortunately been lifted - so shaping up to another 'humdinger' of a w/e!
Not really advertising related - but these are quite pretty!!!
Just lotted in some entries from the late Dennis Northmore Collection....
Should upload the catalogue on easyliveauction.com tomorrow or Friday. NOTE: Saturday 27 April lots 1 to 400 (cannot rule out late entries for this one), Sunday 28 lots 500 onwards. BOTH sales LIVE @ Elsecar & LIVE online.....
Will post the direct link later today....
