Lot 297: A Collection of VHS Video Tapes and Books Housed in a Wicker Basket
An assortment of home media and printed material contained within a woven wicker storage basket. The lot features a collection of VHS video cassettes in clear plastic library cases. Visible titles include the BBC Video release of Roy Clarke’s Last of the Summer Wine: The Very Best of, and the musical films Oliver! and Hello, Dolly!. The Hello, Dolly! case bears a circular green and white adhesive retail label printed with ASDA Price £9.99. Several books are included in the group, notably a large-format hardcover volume with a botanical-themed dust jacket featuring a spine printed with the partial name CHRISTINE. Also present is a smaller red-spined book and a paperback volume with the title More printed on the spine. The items are stored in a rectangular wicker basket constructed with a braided rim and a stationary woven handle. The basket shows a natural variegated brown finish.
Condition report:
The collection is in used condition consistent with domestic use. The VHS plastic library cases show light surface scratching and typical shelf wear (photo 1). The paper sleeve inserts appear generally well-preserved, though some minor sun-fading or edge wear may be present to the spines. The books show signs of handling, with minor creasing and light edge wear visible to the dust jackets (photo 1). The wicker basket is intact, showing age-related darkening to the natural fibres and some accumulated dust within the weave. All media items are sold as seen and are strictly untested for playback or completeness.
