Hi guys,
Ok I know its the 80s anymore so the majority of us don't have a bar in our front room like Del Boy did...
BUT I have about 10 different mirrored advertising signs, found in a box that hadnt been touched since 1996 in Nans house.
EDIT -
Signs have been on ebay and a couple sold - heres whats left - £20 posted each, covers extra bubble and wrap so they should arrive safely....
Cheers
Tom

Tom this sort of stuff is very collectible. I got hold of a load of pub gear a few years ago and made a fair bit of money from it on ebay!

I know it is, s'why I didn't just skip it all!
I've also got a load of miniatures but I don;t think they're worth anything, none of them are rare or fetching anything on ebay.

I haven't come across anything worth a fortune yet....no idea how they made a living back in the day as they were antique dealers lol! Also I think they were better at 'crafts'....garden ornaments and costume jewelry basically lol.
Unfortunately everything I come across is like a bad version of the expensive stuff - bloody silver plate instead of silver,nbranded reproduction copies of things, cracked/broken items of good makes lol. It's annoying really, just waiting for one really valuable item to pop up lol....nothing so far though!

look at the numbers underneath them and then try to find their value. there are some really rare ones. The trains i would have thought would be the rarest there! ALong with that blue flat one, the traction engine and the bulldozer.

Stop raising my hopes lol, they're worth a couple of quid each on ebay!
They need to be mint in boxes to get any decent money tbh.
