Wales Antiques This blog will from time to time complement my Wales Antiques Web Site and its printed companion. The guide is a developing listing of general suppliers of antiques and collectables in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Powys and beyond; it now including auctions and in the future specialist heritage related attractions. Over 23 years it has become an essential resource for anyone with an interest in buying and selling antiques and collectables in West Wales and Beyond.

Here’s another of my current eBay auctions. If you thought that all that waste paper that slides out of your over-priced and over-fattened weekend papers was a relatively recent phenomena then think again.
This is an advertising insert, I think probably from something like the London Illustrated News. Beautifully printed in colour the true power of these corsets can is only hinted at. Produced by the Medical Battery Co. Ltd these corsets will AT LEAST aid the chest in its ‘healthy development’, ensure that the internal organs are ‘speedily strengthened’ and make the most ‘awkward figure’ graceful.
BARGAIN!
On sale here.
SOLD: £17.00

The Lads have mooted a trip to Holt in Norfolk to an outfitters we know. All for it we’ve already hit a stumbling block; what vehicle?
Rummaging through my files of old family photos I found this of Mr Leslie Harry Williams, my paternal grandfather.
A committed smoker and a forester to boot he doubtless needed to wear only the toughest and most hardwearing of clothes. Nothing synthetic in this ensemble.
The car though. How tantalising and I daresay just the thing for a trip ‘cross country.
