 This site http://www.blackcountryauctions.co.uk/ has on it itswebsite the following at the moment

Lot 501: A WW2 Roll Of Honour for The Steel Nut & Joseph Hampton Ltd. steel firm of Wednesbury, West Midlands. (Estimate £80-120)

Or another option is contacting them and asking to be informed if the sort of stuff we are interested in. Maybe we could set up a contact link to Rootschat and have a board where they could post this sort of stuff. Would have to see what the moderators think

That is absolutely astonishing!!!  I do hope the winning bidder is someone genuinely interested in the contents of the box and that we won't see all this stuff back on ebay as individual lots.

Succesful bidder been dealing on ebay since July, mainly in magic lantern slides.

How about contacting him/her and trying to find out what he intends to do with the personal information?
