This is an excellent chance for female auction goers to purchase the English, American or Parisian handbag or accessory of their dreams when E.J. Ainger’s starts its next weekly sale from 9.30am Tuesday July 28 at 433 Bridge Road, Richmond.
Brought from a Brighton estate, the bags and accessories are by manufacturers Pierre Cardin, Chanel, Oroton, Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo.

26 Jul
Mossgreen
While Mossgreen’s second Sunday Art Emporium auction for the year is geared to encourage collectors entering the art market for the first time – with plenty of paintings carrying estimates of only a few hundred dollars – it also is notable for several significant Sidney Nolan works (lots 42-46) held tightly by the family and never before seen publicly.
Two of these – Angels over Ely 1951 and Bush Sketches 1951 – are ink on glass works, a medium that is rarely seen at auction.

A John Deere 755 front end loader tractor with mid-deck mower and other implements will be a great pick up for some lucky purchaser at auctioneer Steve Graham’s forthcoming sale from 10am on Sunday July 26 at 485 Daylesford Malmsbury Road, Wheatsheaf.
The on site auction offers a comprehensive selection of farm items, collectables, quality household pieces, antique dolls, garden furniture and ornaments.

Mossgreen
Mossgreen’s 2015 annual sale of Australian Indigenous and Oceanic Art features many early artefacts including an important private collection of rare Australian indigenous shields, many of which date to the early 19th century.
Among the more important is an Albury broad shield (lot 56), collected in the 1870s by Albury-based John Mitchell, and the Dja Dja Wurrung broad shield (lot 57) picked up by George Kidman between 1852 and 1864.
English-born Kidman came to Australia during the 1850s gold rush and established a mining claim.

Steve Graham Auctioneer
Geelong collector Danny Stevens is selling part of his antiques and vintage collection (with more to go in coming months) to buy a pink Cadillac – a dream purchase he has long cherished.
The auction, from 10am Sunday July 19 at 64 Urquhart Street Woodend, will be held by auctioneer Steve Graham.
Over the years, Stevens has bought much of his collection through Graham and is more than happy to use the auctioneer to help sell it.
18 Jul
Glenelg Auctions
Graeme Murrell was well known in the auction trade of western Victoria and south-eastern South Australia as an avid buyer of anything that took his fancy.
He focused particularly on vaseline, ruby and carnival glass – along with Victorian lamps and Royal Doulton ware – and in his later years was happy to help out where he could at Glenelg Auction Centre sales in Portland Victoria.
Murrell died recently and his collection of 624 items is being auctioned from 11am Saturday July 18 and Sunday July 19 at 109 Learmonth Street, Portland.
