E14 - The Therapy Mustang & The Royal Doulton Figurines

This week Simon is head over heels in love, which for a married man shouldn’t come as a surprise. The surprise is that it’s with a rather lovely Ford Mustang. Also this week Harry gets his revenge by entering Simon into a charity boxing match, possibly against Conan The Barbarian. The pair also chat about having to be the deliverers of bad news, a Cypriot cab driver, and some rather expensive Royal Doulton figurines.

Om Podcasten

The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon. Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
