Lot 31 features the portrait of a Victorian man and a Penny Farthing bike, with a guide price set between £80 and £120.

Train enthusiasts may be interested in the Lot 11 R.E Thompson & Co railway block bell signalling instrument, or the LMS triple aspect railway-hand lantern at Lot 9, capable of illuminating the festive season with an affordable price tag between £40 to £60.

Sea lovers should lookout for Lot 2, a charming Art Deco Bakelite clock by Vitascope Industries Ltd, featuring an illuminated automaton sailing ship against an ocean backdrop for an estimated £300-£500.

A wide array of maritime images and prints are also up for grabs at prices ranging from £20 to £200.
