E15 - The Blacksmith & The Apology

This week Harry and Simon have some clips from their latest Lyme Bay auction to share with you as well as the usual anecdotes and hilarious back and forth. Simon also has an apology to make, Harry is getting a t-shirt made that says the podcast is ‘better than sex’, find out about a £5 note smuggler, and what happened when someone tried to sell the pair some tigers teeth. If you’re a fan of the auction stories then you’ll get to hear about World War One medals, metal detector finds full of Roman antiquities, and a whole blacksmith’s workshop. How did those lots and Simon's beloved Mustang sell at auction? Listen in to find out.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. Music from Lemonmusicstudio Production by David Burd
