The "Jimmy" items are towards the end of the sale.
I thought anyone with an interest in a) - melodeons, b) Scottish dance band music history - might like to know about it.
The estimates seem very low to me, considering Jimmy's place in Scottish music.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
