Mantiques to go under hammer

It's a man's world at an auctioneers this weekend as a range of gadgets and 'mantiques' go under the hammer.

From cars to armoury and from arcade machines to rare music players, bargain hunters and collectors are able to choose from a range of historic boys' toys.

The sale, dubbed Mantiques and Boys Toys, is one of the first auctions of its kind held by Fieldings Auctioneers in Stourbridge.

Many of the 626 lots on offer would have normally been sectioned off into other regular sales.

But bosses at the Mill Race Lane saleroom said they felt the quality and quantity of the goods deserved a sale to itself.

Viewings take place today and before 10am tomorrow when the sale starts.
