Six signatures shared one frame in the afternoon's best-performing lot. Star Trek Heroes of the Final Frontier, limited edition number 1171 of 2,500, was signed by Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, Walter Koenig, William Shatner, DeForest Kelley and Nichelle Nichols, and it achieved £750. A collection of Bronze Age and later DC horror and supernatural comics, with titles such as The Witching Hour and The House of Secrets, sold for £650. Two Master Replicas pieces followed: Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber at £460 and the Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader Helmet at £400.
A carved jade Maori Hei-tiki from New Zealand, standing 10cm high, was the highest price of the morning at £400. Elsewhere in the sale, a Danish viking ship on a wooden stand, marked Denmark to the bow, made £300, as did a pair of triangular daggers dated to the 13th to 6th century BC, the larger measuring 55cm. A cast iron box modelled as a crab realised £280.
Cameras drew the keenest bidding. The Fuji Panorama G617 Professional medium format camera, complete with its Fujinon SW 1:8/105 lens, original fitted carry case and cardboard box, went on to make £1,400. A Linhof Tecnika 70 medium format press camera, with Xenotar and Symmar lenses still coupled to the body, a set of seven numbered dark slides and a roll film holder among its accessories, achieved £460. A Canon EF 100-400mm Image Stabilising lens, boxed with its camouflage cover, made £500. Not every lot was photographic: a complete set of eight framed medical posters by the zoological and anatomical artist Robert R Holding, published by E J Arnold & Son Ltd, found a buyer at £350.
A Musser M55 Pro-Vibe vibraphone, with gold-finished aluminium bars, motorised resonators and a sustain pedal, reached £2,500, the highest price of the day. Stefan Sobell of Northumberland made the late 20th century cittern that followed, commissioned in 1977 and sold in its fitted hard case for £1,600. An Atkin Essential Dreadnought acoustic guitar, circa 2022 and signed to the interior label, made £1,500.
The sporting lot was a hardback copy of 'World Cup 1966 England', signed inside the front page by thirteen footballing figures, among them Bobby Moore, Pele, Bobby Charlton, Geoff Hurst and commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme. With a certificate of authenticity from Chaucer Auctions, it fetched £1,000.
From Arts & Crafts to Art Deco, this sale was about movements that dared to be different. Eight French Art Deco Blondel Holophane pendant lights, with glass acorn shades and pierced brass fittings, more than made their mark at £1,500. An early 20th century gilt and bevelled mirrored folding screen, with two mirrors on each of its four panels, sold for £1,400, and an Art Deco style burr walnut console table with chrome pull handles realised £1,300. An Arts and Crafts oak window bench, with two dished seats, brought the period back a generation at £950.
October kept returning to objects shaped by a particular person and kept by another. A soldier's medals were stored with a photograph of his troop. A cittern was commissioned in 1977 and has been looked after ever since. A book was signed by thirteen footballing names, and a set of anatomical posters was framed and preserved. Items like these are often sitting quietly in homes across Yorkshire, in attics, cupboards and spare rooms. If you have something similar and are thinking of selling, we would be glad to take a look.
