Lyndsey loves those copper measuring jugs - so they're not for sale. Got loads of other copper stuff though, and some of that will be sold on. Will post pics soon.

I don't blame her - they're great looking. All pic appreciated - I enjoy looking through stuff like this. Miss Tonji's picture detective threads - had some real fun with them. |

Some really good stuff there. Still not persuaded the original is a voodoo doll though.

I only found out the other day that you can still get laudanum on prescription - but from the sounds of it other forms of opiate are definitely preferable |

Yeah Kin, get some more of these up. The ceramic jars go for £15-20. For the Keiller and Sons jars. Would help to put up some items with any dates/markings. It's great searching the net to find relevant info. The old medicine bottles and pharmacy tins etc, there are many small museums around the country that will happily purchase stuff like that. Some of the old coloured bottles can fetch a decent price, especially with the more hazardous labels. I'm hooked on all the antique programmes on TV and love trying to guess the values. As Rod suggest, makings of an immense thread "Kinboshi's Antiques Marathon" anyone? Geo |

Lots of ceramic jars - will post up some pics when we can wade through the boxes of stuff. Doubt there's anything too valuable in them, but probably the odd thing here or there that'll sell for £20-30 and help us get some of the money back as a bonus.

Lyndsey's selling some of the tins from the boxes full she got in the auction tonight via Facebook. http://www.sorbetdesign.co.uk/2012/12/vintage-props-for-sale/ Nothing valuable, just some old tins. Doubt anyone's interested, but thought I'd post it up nevertheless. |

A mile from my house and just off the A1 is the antique doll museum at Cromwell. Someone in there might help you ID the ugly little troll... Once she says "its Jason Herbert" show her your doll too

You can never have too many old tins.

Are there any left inside? I've been suffering from a touch of impure blood recently. |
