Letter from 50’s air crash to be auctioned
A letter addressed to local silk manufacturers, Cartright & Sheldon, salvaged from an air crash in Singapore in 1954, is due to come up for sale shortly.
Cartwright & Sheldon was based in Paradise Mill, on Old Park Lane, now occupied by Macclesfield Silk Museum. The small family firm halted its hand weaving production in 1982.
The letter, from R G Watson & Co in Melbourne, Australia, will be offered by TV antique expert Charles Hanson at Hansons Auctions https://hansonsauctioneers.co.uk or https://twitter.com/HansonsAuctions
