Show Notes
Auctions in Devon, Cornwall, and the Channel Islands are booming with unique items, from royal treasures to quirky finds. Recent sales include Princess Dianas personal letters, Queen Elizabeth IIs childhood notes, and a slice of Queen Victorias wedding cake. Museums closing down have contributed to this trend, with items like a World War Two Jeep, a Concorde jet mock-up, and Titanic wreck coal selling for thousands. Buyers are drawn to the stories behind these items, and even stranger stuff, like a top-secret World War Two plan and a box of French glass eyes, are fetching high prices. Number plates, like the one one one that sold for £270,000, are also in demand. These sales highlight the enduring appeal of history and oddities, turning forgotten gems into big money and fresh tales for the next generation.
