Old Sports Auctions Ltd is the Company which has evolved as the primary internet auction site for handling the sale and purchase of sporting memorabilia especially golf memorabilia. The success of internet trading has created the demand for a high quality, knowledgeable supplier to satisfy the needs of the discerning collector, and the Company created by Graham Rowley is perfectly designed to satisfy that need.
Graham Rowley is a member of the Golf Collectors Society in both Britain and America, and is a regular attendee at meetings and fairs designed to promote the collecting of sporting artefacts and literature. So successful has this been that he is now acknowledged as one of the few who has expertise extending to virtually all areas of golf collecting, a skill that has extended into the general sports arena. His reputation for helping and encouraging new collectors is well founded, matching the desires of new devotees with advice on how to acquire the best from their individual collections, at the most advantageous cost, and without wasting time on futile expeditions with little reward.
His knowledge of the auction scene throughout Great Britain and the USA has enabled him to unearth some unique items of memorabilia for release to the collecting world. In addition he has acted on commission to acquire single items and collections for the most serious collectors around the world. He has dealt with collectors from over thirty five countries, enjoying their confidence because of the extensive knowledge and contacts that he has developed within the collecting fraternity, where trust is a vital element in the dealing.
Old Sports Auctions Ltd will continue to offer this very individual and rewarding facet of the business, and will be happy to receive enquiries from individuals seeking to enhance their collections in a selective manner. In an environment where the value of individual items can vary from a few pounds to hundreds of thousands for the rarest pieces, particularly where there is provenance available to endorse them, expert knowledge is critical in assessing true value, a skill and an art that has been exhibited by Graham Rowley on numerous occasions. Graham's thirty five years in the collecting arena have given him a unique knowledge and awareness of the marketplace, a knowledge that will benefit all the clients using either the web auctions or the personal acquisition commissioning. He has created the ideal supply and demand vehicle in a very selective environment, one that will serve clients on each and every transaction.

Lot 2 Very Rare Stone Glaze Pottery Sand Holder c1910. (In 40 years involved in golf memorabilia I have never seen one) Made by W T Knowles, it has their factory marks impressed. Perfect to display! Before the wooden tees (1920) Golfers teed the ball from a mound of sand, this is the container of that held the sand. A heavy vessel that has a series of holes in its base, this allowed excess water to drain away.
