The second terrace will be occupied by two ranges of quarters for infantry, a hospital and a spacious parade ground. All items offered will be subject to the Auctioneers discretionary margin of 10% - 20% of the set reserve. Unreserved goods withdrawn prior to or awaiting sale will be valued by the Auctioneers at their absolute discretion as their estimate of auction value. They were intended as a temporary experiment; yet they have continued to be occupied till they have become almost ruinous. In 1902 Herbert Moses Burdall of 38 Commonside, Sheffield was a Drysalter for the firm of Henry Petrie & Co. of Gibraltar Street ('founded in Victoria's reign' was Burdall's later advertising logo), but by 1907 father and son 'Burdall and Burdall' had taken over the drysalting business themselves.

I. Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot, or lots, is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of descriptions. In the centre is the principle gateway, and over it an oriel window. On each side are embattled towers. Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneers' premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary and water damage (but not accidental damage or breakage). The value of goods so covered shall be the gross amount realised or in the case of unsold lots, the best bid made or the reserve price when the latter has been fixed. The solution is miniterialism: find something old, beautiful and unique that is relatively cheap. I’m wary of sharing, because I don’t want some sort of feeding frenzy ensuing, whereby newly enthusiastic TNE readers price me out of the market, but my new thing is tins. Yup – that’s right: small, vintage ones, that have contained either foodstuffs – Burdall’s Gravy Salt, with its slogan “The Tell Tale” – or medical ones: for Elastoplast Boil Dressings, and any number of pastilles and cachous; or tins for gramophone needles, glue tubes, and cocoa samples (I have a lovely little Bournville tin from the 1900s, complete with a striker for non-safety matches on its base). OLD FASHIONED GRAVY SALT is made from coarse sea salt and will have a sodium content of around 0.4g per gramIn these conditions, Acreman St. Antiques Auction Ltd. – who act as auctioneers and agents for the vendor – are called ‘The Auctioneers’ and the representative of Acreman St. Antiques Auction Ltd conducting the Auction is called ‘The Auctioneer’.

II. Acreman St. Antiques Auction Ltd do not accept any responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify and in such cases the auctioneers do so as agents for the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims The vendor shall indemnify the Auctioneers against any claims in connection with goods sold on the Vendor's instructions.There are, it seems, several factors that will ensure a light, airy scone that is scoffed at first sight. First of all, says Sue, it is vital to employ the lightest possible touch when rubbing in the butter, mixing in the milk and patting out the dough. Sue, in fact, never kneads her scone dough; instead simply patting it gently into submission. The accommodation will be for 18 cavalry, and 19 infantry officers, and an equal number of servants. III. All Statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out in b. above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Acreman St. Antiques Auction Ltd, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify, and in such cases Acreman St. Antiques Auction Ltd. do so as agents of the vendor and are themselves not responsible for such claims. II. The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he/she has absolute discretion to settle it or re-offer the lot. The auctioneer may at his/her sole discretion determine the advances or bidding or refuse a bid
