One owner auctions are a special event and The Shipley Cycle Collection did not disappoint at The Bourne Auction Rooms.
The 413 lot auction consisted of one man’s personal collection of bicycles, penny farthings, recumbent cycles, vintage frames and parts plus an impressive collection of bicycle lamps and advertising memorabilia.
The collection had been stored and displayed in the loft and garden shed of the semi-detached property in Scunthorpe from where it was removed to the auction rooms for cataloguing and selling.
The auction took a little over four and three quarter hours to sell with every lot finding a buyer, a white glove sale, and totalled over £70,000.
Top price of the day was £3,000 for a 19th-century penny farthing, with a late 19th-century Dursley Pedersen bicycle selling for £1,400.
A Joseph Lucas No.257 bicycle lamp lit up the saleroom as the hammer fell at £550. Off like a gun was a Royal Enfield Cycles advertising sign which found a final bid of £650.
Finally, a W&R Baines International bicycle crossed the finishing line at the end of the auction despite lacking pedals, when it sold for £800, quite the tour de force.
