Dear Collector,

I am really hoping that everyone is OK and staying safe. Times have indeed changed, and having had a joint modern and new toy soldier online sale together with the toy department, our next solus Toy Soldier Sale has ended up online only as well, even though there are signs that we may be back to normal soon.

The sale, under the circumstances, is a good deal smaller than usual, but we still have representative selections of lots in all categories, as you will be able to see in the accompanying leaflet below.

The 281 lots of the June 17th Sale with the pictures are now online at www.the-saleroom.com. There is also a full, and less expensive online service on the C & T website at www.candtauctions.co.uk. There are 1,230 photographs, showing over 12,362 items.

Owing to our new website, following government guidance we need everyone to log in positively on the website to the list for receiving emails from C & T, so that we can remind you about forthcoming sales, or new ones inserted into the schedule.

Remember that you can bid online via the Saleroom.com (4.95% + VAT extra for this service), or you can place bids by telephone on +44 (0) 1233 510050 or e-mail.  But perhaps best of all, you can for this sale use C & T’s new online real time bidding service for no extra charge (buyers premium at 24% including VAT of course still applies).

PLEASE do not send bids to my email addresses on the day before or the day of the sale, as I will not be able to transfer them.  Send instead to enquiries@candtauctions.co.uk, and the bids will be entered. Any queries about the content can be answered at my normal email jamesopie@yahoo.co.uk, or on my ‘phone: +44 (0) 20 7794 7447 

All good wishes, 

James
