A NATIONAL firm of antiques auctioneers is hosting a free valuation day at Langrish House Hotel.

Warwick and Warwick Auctioneers of Warwick say their experts can also make home visits to look at collectables while they are in East Hampshire.

Experts in valuing coins, banknotes, stamps, medals and militaria, postcards, cigarette cards, die cast toys and models, and model railways, will be on hand for the free entry valuation advisory day.

A spokesman said: “We have visited the Petersfield area before, and have been delighted with the response.

“Many people do not realise that they have possessions of value, especially post card collections.

“Black and white photographic views can fetch from £5 to tens of pounds, if there is a close up of an early omnibus, or traction engine.

“Coin collections are also fetching high prices at present, especially those made of gold, which has rocketed in value in recent months.”

The valuation day on Wednesday, April 6, will be from 10am to 2pm. For more details, or to discuss a home visit, call 01926 499031.
