From vintage bikes to aeroplane seats – there’s a host of transport and maritime items up for grabs in Mitchells’ latest sale.
The online-only auction from the Cockermouth saleroom next month also features road signs, car registration plates, railway lamps and maritime art.
It starts on November 10 and runs for 10 days.
If you like to get on your bike but need a folding one, then Lot 65 will be right up your street – a rare World War Two BSA British Paratrooper folding bike, often called a Parabike, dating from 1942-1945 which has an estimate of £150 to £250.
Cyclists might also fancy Lot 31, a portrait of a Victorian man and a Penny Farthing bike with an estimate of £80 to £120.
However, if you prefer to let the train take the strain, there’s always Lot 11, an RE Thompson & Co railway pattern block bell signalling instrument with a likely cost of £80-£120 or maybe Lot 9, an LMS triple aspect railway hand lantern which could brighten your Christmas for £40 to £60.
And for those who like travelling by sea, you’ll love Lot 2, an Art Deco Bakelite clock by Vitascope Industries Ltd of the Isle of Man, with its illuminated automaton sailing ship rocking on an ocean backdrop and a price tag of £300 to £500.
Tick off some of your Christmas list too with a whole range of maritime pictures and prints with estimates ranging from £20 to £200.
But if you love travelling by air, you can take off and land wherever you want from the comfort of your own living room if you buy a whole row of Boeing 737 aeroplane seats for just £100 to £200.
