Mysterious mannequin raises eyebrows at farm machinery sale
Auctioneers at Brown & Co have been demonstrating the breadth of their ability at sales recently. While his counterparts in Norfolk sold 3.5 million of residential property, Ben Wills – from the firms office in Melton Mowbray – sold a female Indian mannequin amongst farm equipment at an auction near Stamford.
More than 1000 people from all parts of the UK and Ireland attended the sale. The highlights for the modern farm machinery included a Massey Ferguson 4WD Dynashift Tractor making 9,200 and a JCB Loadall Farm Special 526S reaching 13,000. Also exceeding expectations were vintage items such as a Ferguson sugar beet plough for 1800 and a Ferguson spring tine drag for 1100.
This was the first machinery auction held by our recently opened Melton Mowbray Office, said Ben Wills of Brown & Co. The lady made a nice diversion from a traditional farm equipment sale. It was an excellent day with some exceptional prices and we are anticipating another successful sale at Edmondthorpe on 6th May.
