A world record was broken last weekend at Elsecar Heritage Centre when an old glass bottle sold for more than £12,000.
The sale took place during BBR's annual summer national specialist collectors' weekend and the bottle involved a Schons Patent Codd bottle.
It was estimated to go for between £4,000 and £6,000 but on the day sold for more than twice - going for £12,390 and breaking the record for the price paid for that kind of bottle.
The bottle is valued highly because of its rarity but this one more so because it is the world's only surviving bottle with patented bent wire opener.
Other items sold high too, with one whisky bottle selling for £4,000, after being estimated to go for between £600 and £800.
The collectors' weekend has been running for 28 years and people come from all over the world to set up stalls and to check out the antiques, bottles and pottery.
Organiser Alan Blakeman said: "It was an absolutely fantastic weekend and the weather helped.
"The woman who sent in the box of bottles with the Codd bottle in didn't know how much they were worth, so she's in for a surprise."
Alan said there was a great overseas contingent and he himself is flying over to an auction in New Hampshire, USA, in the next few weeks to promote next year's event.
