The folks over at the Heritage Centre have just put a pair Fred’s Blacksmiths Tongs (pictured right)up for auction, bidding starting from 99p.
In the usual caps lock style we are told:
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS SALE IS FOR ONE REASON ONLY AND THAT IS TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE RESTORATION OF FREDS PLACE.
ONLY LISTED FOR AUCTION AS WE HAVE A SURPLUS, AND MAKE NO MISTAKE THESE TONGUES ARE ORIGINAL AND COME COMPLETE WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY FROM THE FRED DIBNAH HERITAGE CENTRE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUERIES PLEASE CONTACT US BY EMAIL
THEY ARE QUITE HEAVY SO I AM ONLY GUESSING AT POSTAGE COSTS UNLESS YOU WISH TO PICK UP, YOU COULD EVEN COMBINE PICKING THEM UP WITH A TOUR OF THE CENTRE MAYBE AND GET A DISCOUNT ON THE TOUR.
PLEASE EMAIL US AT FREDDIBNAHTOURS@LIVE.COM FOR DETAILS AND REASSURANCE OF AUTHENTICITY.

12hrs to go on the auction and still just 99p (+£9.99 P&P).
Looks like you could pick up a bargain if you are quick.
Not sure if these tongs have been sold. If they havn’t I would like to make an offer of £5 and as I am visiting the centre this bank holiday Monday I would be able to collect them while I am there, look forward to your reply
Kind regards
Steve Lloyd
