About 1500 people attended the two-day event, with the money raised going towards the Manilla Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) Rescue Squad. 

Punters lined up to get their family heirlooms valued by antiques dealer and television personality Gordon Brown.

Two of the most spectacular finds included an 1880s satsuma (Japanese pottery) saucer dish valued at $5000 to $6000, and a silver coffee pot from 1790 valued at $6000 to $7000.

Manilla VRA Rescue Squad president Jerod Sutherland said it had been an “excellent weekend” and the flow of people constant over the two days.

The money raised from the event will be used to replace the team’s high-pressure rescue airbags.

“They’re rubber bags about 18 inches by 18 inches and when they are inflated they act like a jack,” Mr Sutherland said.

“They can hold up to about 20 tonnes and fit into some really tight places, so they are extremely useful.”

Manilla VRA also hosted NSW VRA Deputy Commissioner Bruce Moon at a function on Saturday night, where he presented the organisation with a $20,000 grant for a state-of-the-art, battery-operated, mobile Jaws of Life.

Mr Moon also presented national medals to Mark Fermor and Dallas McIllrick for their 15 years of service to the organisation, and 25-year national medal clasps to Ronda and Robert Sutherland.
