From beautifully carved Victorian cabinets to 1970s Zippo cigarette lighters, there is probably something to interest everyone at the annual Haywards Wanganui Antique and Collectables Auction.
Auctioneer Brian Hayward said tastes are always changing and people have become more interested in mid-century modern furnishings in recent years.
"Victorian-era antiques which used to fetch very big prices are less desirable now," Hayward said.
"People want the plainer, more portable items."
