Norfolk, UK - Upcoming Xmas auction sales do not come much better than Gaze's November bygones sale. Amongst the 1,068 lots of farm bygones, hand tools, enamel signs, shepherdalia and a lot of other stuff beside.

The perfect gift for a rhubarb or kale grower? Gaze's has it - Lot 7012 Rhubarb forcer with lid for £100-£150. Is it a kale forcer? Does it matter?

Or for the avid flagger what better than an old but perfect all wood beadle, or is it, as Gaze says, a 'beetle' - lot 8001 at £10-£15? Does that matter either?

Or one for the those long winter evenings - lot 8418, a table top butter churn by J. J. Blow of Chesterfield c1940, as featured in Susan Ogilvy's seminal 1986 book 'Making Cheese at Home', a snip at £25-£40.

Lastly but not leastly, the ultimate xmas gift - lot 7253, a bright blue wooden sleigh complete with horse shafts and carriage lamps last used in 1947 estimated at £350-£525.
