[stew2u2]

this is the actual weight i new i had a pic of it somewhere

BARGAIN stew2u2, proves there are still some out there.
Ive had an email from a private clichy dealer/collector who has asked me not to name them but has agreed i can share the additional information they have given me on this weight.
They think the value is should reach £1000 plus, due to the rare purple central flower cane and the turquoise ground which is a very desirable colour, they also said the colours have been set well against each other making it a nice example.

Now im still a little dazzled to be honest and im trying to ignore figures as everybody has there own ideas and valuations, im just taking the lowest value which would be fabulous and anything over that would be a huge bonus
Many many thanks, and i will keep you all informed as to any information or progress with regards to the weight

sorry stew2u2 i meant to put a gap after the first line, the email i had was about my weight, so dont worry its not your one lol, sounds like it went well anyway especially for what you paid for it.

[jonchellycain]

My experience of selling suggests that you need 25 - 30 watchers for each 'meaningful' bidder, who tend to enter the fray at the last minute.  However, if your reserve is anything like the figures discussed earlier, then I doubt it will sell, given the size and condition. But good luck!
