Miller’s Collectables Price Guide 2003/4
includes items from Oldnautibits
Miller’s Collectables Price Guide 2003/4
(ISBN 1-84000-835-0 Paperback ISBN 1-184000-695-1) is now published and
available for sale in good bookshops, via the net, and at major UK Antique
Fairs. The published price is £17.99 (Paperback £16.99), although
it is often available at a discount.
Miller’s Collectables Price Guide 2003/4 is,
for the first time, published in full colour and features over 6000 illustrations.
The publication includes guide prices for items that are likely to be
offered for sale on the UK market. The variety and age of content is absolutely
staggering – with items from 500 million years ago (a fossil) to collectables
of the future. Miller's covers everything from ephemera to erotica - and
most things in between!
 Oldnautibits
were very pleased to be asked this year, to loan Millers a diverse range
of articles from our Aeronautical and Nautical stock. We were delighted
to find that a good selection of these items have been included within
the substantial 450 page Guide. Miller's lists a brief description alongside
each illustration, together with dimensions, age, guide price and the
source of the object. Prices are quoted in pounds sterling with a conversion
to US dollars. Readers must be aware that the "prices" relate to dealers'
asking prices, which do not necessarily reflect actual selling prices,
so they should only be used as a "guide". Oldnautibits recommend Miller's,
for both trade and amateur collectors alike, as an aid to help identify
that mystery “whatnot” that has languished in the cupboard for years.
 A
word of caution - just because a dealer rates his binoculars at £100 ($160),
this does not necessarily mean that an identical pair would raise that
amount at auction. Auction prices depend on the current market value and
the interest that a particular lot attracts from other bidders on the
day. In addition, when selling an item, do not expect a dealer to match
the price that is quoted in Miller's - the dealer may rate the article
differently and, of course, has to make a margin on the resale!
With the above provisos, Oldnautibits thoroughly recommend Miller’s
Collectables Price Guide 2003/4.
Miller's listing clearly identifies Oldnautibits' stock with
the code ‘OLD’ below each illustration. Some of the items
included may well have been sold, however, similar stock is usually available;
visit www.oldnautibits.com to see current stock.
