This year Dorset antique bottle club in conjunction with BBR are holding a small auction.
It will be in the “BBR on the road” format with viewing, and cash + collection on the day. The usual BBR 15% commission applies.
Here are images of our 25 lots all items from the Charlie Hathaway collection. All of the money raised (hammer price) will go to Charlie’s family.
BBR are likely to add some of their own items to this so will be more than 25 lots.

We are back. Dorset club meet at Kinson Community Centre this coming Thursday 7th from 7pm.
The Dorset Club show is well underway planning wise and looks like plenty Of Stall holders and people plan to come and take part. Held in one of the prettiest venues in the country. Contact Via this re any questions
Just a quick post to let all know that we shall be holding our next club meeting at the Snug Christchurch upstairs room, first Thursday of the month. First meeting this coming Thursday 2nd Sept. Seb has kindly offered the meeting place as Kinson Community centre is still not open and the evenings are now starting to draw in making it not practical to meet at Ringwood carpark. There is parking at the Priory Carpark and some of the side streets. Hope to see you there 7pm onwards. Nice ales on tap and cosy venue to talk bottles.
In the light of recent Covid announcements BBR have moved their Auction and I understand are planning a ‘small’ stalled event. Best to look at BBR’S website for news and/or contact Alan direct.
