Stamp valuations

The famous Penny Black was the first adhesive postage stamp which was first issued on the 1st May 1840 but was not in fact valid for use until May 6th.

This pair comes from a vast collection of British and Commonwealth stamps that I have just taken in for sale and includes other penny blacks and a number of twopenny blues. Other highlights include two 1840 Mulready covers and a cover dated 1801 that features a rare apple shaped postal mark.

We are regularly asked to value stamp collections for probate, sale and insurance purposes, so if you would like our advice please contact us.

This was my favourite car at the London Concours at the Honourable Artillery Company. This is a Maserati 3500 GT from 1962 which resided for over 50 years in America before coming to this country in 2012.

I love these silver “Butterfield” type pocket sundials. I collected this very original example by the Paris maker Bion last week. It dates to the late 17th/early 18th century and is housed in its original fitted leather case.
As you can see it is beautifully engraved on the back and is in lovely condition overall.
I have guided it very realistically at £500-700 but hope it will do better.

Had a great afternoon at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent. The eccentric owner accumulated a wonderful and varied collection of antiques including Japanese works of art, Egyptian treasures and Jacobite pieces.
Well worth a visit.

I loved looking at the Austin J40 pedal cars at Goodwood Revival but realised how much work I have to do on mine. Swipe across to see what I’m talking about.

An original signed black and white studio photograph of Andy Warhol by Richard Avedon that sold for £2500.

Part of a collection of Avedon works that I got in for sale that came by direct descent from one of his New York studio assistants.
