Here are some pictures of vintage comics and books at the auction house. They are not for sale at this auction, but expressions of interest will be taken. They are from a serious collector who has now been taken ill. There are many more still in boxes which have not been photographed.

This Saturday's auction is the last one in the building at 20 Chelmer Street. The next one is at our large and expanded premises next door at 21 Chelmer St., the old Blackhawk Saddlery building. The Past Times shop is also making a new comeback upstairs.

We have a HUGE amount of items for auction. Rimu furniture, vintage marbles, vintage comics, tools, chandeliers, paintings, pictures, vintage children's items, cameras, fi****ms safe, and much, much more.

The vintage comics are from a determined collector over the last 40 years. They will be available for viewing only at this stage, as they will be very valuable. Indications of interest will be taken.

There are about 1000 antiques and collectables at the new Past Times emporium, and we are almost overstocked for the next auction at the end of August.

Next Auction: 20 Chelmer Street on Saturday 15th at 10am. Viewing Friday 14th between 1-4pm.
