Hi
To sell the contents of the museum in my opinion in one lot is unlikely.
I think the problem now is lack of interest, our generation is slowly passing away and younger generations are far less interested in what we are. Look at the prewar car values, they have stagnated for some time with noticeable drops on run of the mill stuff like Austin 7's and Morris 8's yes the rarities will still attract money.
The interest these days is what people are brought up with , which to be fair is in fact understandable. You might like Ford Escorts and Morris Marina's (God forbid) but that's where the interest lies. Now it's hard to sell a 40s radio and prewar TVs have dropped in value.
Once upon a time I'd have loved a prewar TV but now I'd not take one even if it was FOC, I'm not the only one that thinks this way but others still have a great interest in them which is very good.
