Timed Sale of Royal Commemorative & Memorabilia Dating from Queen Victoria Through to King Charles III - Some Rare Lots
Remaining items form the estate of local royalist and photographer Colin Edwards.
Well known and on personal terms with many, if not all of, the royal family.
Colin attended many royal visits and moments in history. He is a published author of his personally taken photographs and has also had various exhibitions of his work. A couple of these were actually visited by royal members.
Well known both locally and nationally and was contacted by local news outlets for his opinions on many Royal related news stories.
All items were displayed throughout his flat and have been carefully cleaned. We have photographed and listed any chips, cracks and damage but are only human, so may have missed anything that doesn't stand out.
PLEASE NOTE THAT BREAKABLES ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT INSURED FOR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT, ONLY LOSS. WE DO PACKAGE AS WELL AS WE CAN, AND PACKAGES WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY BIGGER THAN THE WON ITEMS.
We will be donating 50% of the sale to our young carers trips and treats project. If you do win any items you will also notice a £1 donation, which will go to the same. By registering and bidding on items, you are agreeing to this.
Thank you for looking.
