Come and join in the fun at the January meeting called "Cash in the Attic". An expert will provide a talk and will advise on an item you wish to have valued.
The usual venue of Talwrn Village Hall at 7:30pm - Why not bring a friend with you - they may like to become part of the community too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well what an interesting evening this turned out to be. The guest speaker for the night was Simon Bower, Auctioneer at Morgan Evans.
Simon provided information on the items we brought along to the meeting. He detailed the approximate age and value. Where the items were made and high-lighted little give-away marks that indicated the history of an item - some of which would normally go un-noticed by somebody like myself.
Simon gave an informal talk about the present state of the auction market and also asked us to guess the value of a decorative piece of jewellery. Now this could have been a cheap bit of costume jewellery, but it actually had a value of £20,000 - and no, we didn't mug him on his way out!
