He was also known for his local paper advertisements which claimed: "If it's broken or damaged, don't worry, I will have bought worse". "The backroom was devoted to the objects he had collected since his youth, and over the years he travelled in search of the old and unusual - sticking to his mantra that if it is broken or damaged, no matter.
The 250 lots included a 17th Century basket-hilted sword, known as a mortuary sword due to links with the death of Charles I, which sold for £4,800 against an estimate of £400-600.
