An Unusual Oriental Nut
Coin lover Tim Medhurst has found something special in his wheelhouse of expertise in the penultimate auction of this road trip.
Today鈥檚 trip is mostly about historic Hampshire and Wiltshire, not to mention the fabulous New Forest 鈥� ponies and all. Auctioneer and dealer Hettie Jago and dealer Tim Medhurst each have 拢200 and a fine replica Jaguar to ensure that their antiquing adventure goes smoothly. Also on the itinerary is a visit to the Salisbury pub that is as old as the famous cathedral spire.
As it鈥檚 the fourth leg of our best-of-five road trip, our experts are very much here for the antiques. They start out in Lyndhurst and stop shopping in Semley. Along the way, Hettie ventures out of her comfort zone, forgoing the small and delicate for the large and unusual, picking up a large handsaw and a bronze three-blade boat propeller. Tim buys an unusual oriental nut, with nautical interest, and a very special coin. Who will win the penultimate auction in Lichfield?
