Two shipbuilder's precision models will go under the hammer at next week's Spring Catalogue Sale at Tennants Auctioneers, in Leyburn.

The auction centre is holding a two-day sale, including glass, oriental art, jewellery, paintings, rugs and furniture.

The models of a steel screw steamer and an oil tanker were built by the Smith's Dock Company, of South Bank, near Middlesbrough. They are valued at between £3,000 and £5,000, and £2,000 and £3,000, respectively.

The 1,469 lots include items from Leathley Grange, in Leathley, West Yorkshire, a collection of more than 50 18th Century drinking glasses and a 19th Century marble pedestal bust.

Viewing takes place on Sunday from 11am to 4pm, and on the Monday, Tuesday and next Wednesday, from 9am to 4pm.

The sale will be held on Thursday and Friday next week, starting at 10am.
