jhb171achill Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Most of it is very overpriced. i would be very interested in “seven boxes of” all sorts of paperwork and historical records of the Dublin & Blessington Tramway, but not €400 and upwards for boxes of mildewed and dirty old papers. I have an 1877 boardroom minute book from the BCDR and it’s pristine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaYSidE Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 if any one won lot in auction...today at purcells could i get to see this item, for historical research GS & WR - Eight Hand Drawn Deerpark Colliery, Castlecomer Diagrams (various), largest 67 x 17.5in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 For info on the Castlecomer branch, and photos, the best resource is Barry Carse’s excellent article in a recent IRRS journal. Wayside - very many thanks for your kind offer to bid for the D & B stuff. I did, however, submit to the auctioneer a bid much lower than that asked. If they don’t get what they’re asking they’ll get back to me. I think that if you visit the auctioneer you can view lots in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DERAILED Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Results here: https://www.purcellauctioneers.ie/catalogue/8F94772A0A3BA77D096E6240F0A8640E/81B29AB6FA187A02A829C1899B734425/specialist-auction-of-irish-interest-books-with-dedicated-se/ Lots of bargains it seems with many pre-sale estimates over the top. The Dublin & Blessington Lots went for a decent price: Lot 53 Vast and Extensive File Relating to the Dublin and Blessington Steam Tramway c.1930's, Dividend Warrants, Correspondence, Invoices etc. etc. - 7boxes Hammer: €680 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minister_for_hardship Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 A number of the lots still have estimate and not hammer prices, suggesting they're unsold. Not that many physically turned up on the day, most everything done by internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been interested but the budget this year has to be kept for "A" class diesels from IRM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
