Wilesco Overtype answers please

Went to a local auction house last week, as they had a "steam engine" as descibed on the website- no pic sorry.  also 5 stone jars included in the lot, think one was an old marmalade pot.

It was a Wilesco overtype, but didnt look like the new one on websites, though had the usual chrome top and typical base. Was missing the chimney as well. Didnt look at the jars closely, but they seemed plain enough, and about the same size as the Wilesco- about say 6 to 8 inches high.

Well I put in a speculative bid of £28, estimate of 20-30.

Sold for £280        

Did I miss a good un, or were the stone jars the valuable things?

If it just was a wilesco locomobile then the stone jars were the more valuable goods

Perhaps you should be asking  'Did I miss a good urn?'
