UNRESERVED Steam, Traction and Portable Engine Auction to finalise the Estate of Warrick Sell, Springwood N.S.W (NOW CLOSED)
Where do you find ’em! Here we have seven, yes seven highly collectable and desirable Steam, Traction and Portable engines with all seven of these engines to be offered by way of public auction on an UNRESERVED BASIS.
Rare opportunity, genuine sale, well loved!
AGENTS COMMENTS: This tightly held collection is being offered for sale on an unreserved basis to assist in the finalisation of the Estate of the late Warrick Sell, Springwood N.S.W. Lots 1 and 2 were subject to the bush fires of 2013 but as the family understands the inner workings of the engines weren’t compromised. Overall the engines present very well and were used on a regular basis by Warrick and family up until his passing. None of the engines come with any certificates or related information and we strongly encourage any interested parties use the available time to not only inspect the subject lots but to make their own investigations.
To be offered by way of Livestream Auction from the Burns & Co Auctions State-of-the-art Auction Rooms at 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, VIC, 3153.
Please note: All seven engines are located at our Newcastle Facility at 1/26 Craftsman Close, Beresfield, NSW, 2322.
