Stop Press - 14th November 2018

We took a two week break for the first time in 3 years so we're a bit behind with the site. We've brought in some rare badges and cigarette cards and some rare photographs including the final explosion of the Hood. Some excellent die cast cars and liners and we have a large collection of maritime books - see Specialist Collectors Page.

We await the balance of the Jonathan Marsh Collection to get the Chinese coins to Hong Kong. There's some excellent new furniture and seating and we'll get photos this week. There are strange finds in the antiques business.

Precious Metals.

Gold & Silver are down! Not the best time to sell. Wait till the dollar weakens.

Prices continue to fluctuate so we have to fix any purchases to the applicable price on the day of the transaction. Market prices are posted at 2.00 pm daily. We pay cash for all precious metals and gems and if you're a new customer, you wiil be asked for ID). Home appointments by arrangement. Please consult our Terms & Conditions.
