Charterhouse in Sherborne have been instructed to auction a group of maritime items salvaged off the Dorset coast in the late 1960’s in their three day 28th-30th May sales.

“The owner originally trained as a mechanic but changed career and went into diving due to a love of the sea.” Commented Richard Bromell.

A house move a couple of years ago resulted in his salvaged treasure being relegated to the garage and workshop. Having decided to have a sort out, he contacted Charterhouse and took advantage of their home visit valuation service where he was please to hear his two salvaged ships telegraphs and brace of steam whistles are collectively estimated to sell for over £2,000.

Further entries of collector’s items, coins, medals, militaria, stamps, Beswick, Doulton, Moorcroft, wine, port, whisky and other items are now being invited for this huge three-day auction on the 28th, 29th & 30th May at Charterhouse.
