How much is this stuff worth

[Burdekin]

Hi Folks, helping clear my neighbour’s sheds for her and wondering if anyone knows if any of this has any value, if so any idea how much. Looking to help her out and sell anything of value. One of the vices is quite large and the decorative thing is made from copper but we don’t know what it is.

looks like an ornamental fountain/squirter

Vice looks good, made in England, possibly a record. Also looks like a nippy drill vice, that will be worth a few quid if it isn't entirely butchered. Record stilsons too.

Id also be investigating the contents of the drawers, there could be treasure... Each of the bisley cabinets will go for around £40 empty.

Sell the draws as above, the Nippy should fetch £50+?
Have a good root through as may be some treasure, drill boxes could be interesting.
The odds and ends should go at a car boot if you can be bothered to go? Anything electrical take a video of it running.

The red vice looks like it's a Samsonia steel vice. T'other one, Parkinson or Record.

Any value?

From clearing my mum's house, I've learnt something.

The time and effort involved in trying to squeeze the last quid out of some item mostly isn't worth it.

Take to local auction house - if it's semi-decent, they'll flag anything of real value (as then they make more in commision and fees) and the rest will go for whatever the room/internet think it is worth at that moment - with no hassle to you. Money lands in bank account week or two later.

Some things go for way more than you expect, others disappointingly less, some will end up in the bin - such is life.

Any value?

They'll sell. What for is a variable. Best thing to do is look on Ebay for sold listings, to get a general guideline. They're both good vices.

Check the retaining pin for the nut hasn't disappeared, hence the nut is loose.

they have a better price than a normal vice but many dont want to pay for a better one so go with a cheaper model
