Annual Rally Auction Results

The auction at the annual rally was a bit of a curate's egg this year. Some of the items attracted keen bidding while otherwise complete, decent and unusual mowers were struggling to get a maiden bid. The complete list of items sold is below. A couple of things to bear in mind. First, we add a small 5% commission to the hammer price which we donate to the museum (a similar amount is charged to the seller). Second, where an item is listed with £0 as the hammer price this means that it either did not reach its reserve or was unavailable for sale on the day.
