Our trip to Gloucestership happened to coincide with a general auction at Phillip Serrell Acution rooms so we took a trip north to Great Malvern for a viewing on the first day, calling in at Gloucester on the way, and on our second day, spent the morning at the auction and then travelled back to Tortworth through Wales and across the Severn Bridge (not the crossing that is the M4).
We just went along to view but couldn't resist some bidding and came home with some wonderful items.
It was a great morning and seeing Phillip in action was great. I must say that he doesn't have a TV persona and is the same person on and off screen, behind and infront of the rostrum.We had two dramas during the sale, the first when somebody fell off their stool and another when a young girl collapsed. The man himself was on hold to help the girl to a chair and call and ambulance so I hope she is OK although she was very very pale.
The best buys of the day we some Sylvac dogs, a box of crested china, a signed Worcester 2010 cricket team bat, and my favourites - two old metal advertising signs. They are shown here together but not to scale as the Wall's sign is much bigger than the NGK. I think they might be up on the wall in the office when we refit it.
