The Shovel

...which hasn't sold!;) But more seriously, you're right, 'original' main line firing shovels get sold for silly money compared to what you could buy a new one for. ...and pre-BR era ones even more so. To maximise profit you'd be far better advertising it on a steam train forum. I suspect most people on this forum would buy a shovel to use, if that means the handle gets broken or the blade scratched then so what - it's a shovel! In the railway marketplace you'll probably find more people who will buy a shovel to loveingly cherish, polish and stare at - thus prices and what people will pay starts to rise. |
