OCT 2022

Our October meeting was well attended. We had an auction evening with 24 lots from the late Richard Roberts collection. They were all local minerals, beers etc. We raised £96 which we have donated to Richards favourite charity VSO, Voluntary Services Overseas.
First up on the finds table was Mick's black glass GB, THE MAGNUM BREWED GINGER BEER. Unusual as it has 3 embossed ridges down back.
Jordan brought along the green CHERTSEY skittle.
The first assorted collection was Grahams. He picked this lot up while down in Devon in antique and charity shops.
The collection of lids were bought up by Eric from someones collection.
The CARDIFF and ROCHESTER ginger beers were Daves car boot finds.

The 2 ointment type pots are German and belonged to Eric.
John brought along the £1 car boot Codd CHAPEL WORKS, CASTLETON.

The codd was was Georges NEWMAN, BASING ROAD, BASINGSTOKE. Bit on the sick side but not very common.
Erics GB E&W GUPPY, GUERNSEY. Although I didn't photograph the potter mark, Eric said quite rare as the potters mark number is upside down.
