I've had an interesting box full of autos (dozens) come my way. Nothing especially old or valuable that I can see.
Anyway I was planning on sharing some pics here for interest but for the life of my the only image I can attached is the size of a postage stamp, anything larger and I get an 'error file too late', which it clearly isn't, to my frustration abounds...
Attached is the largest image (screen shot) this system will let me attach, so apologies in advance.
Cheerio,
Roy

Looks like a tasty variety, RoyS. If you don't want to use a photo hosting app, crop your pics down to below 1000kb and then you should be able to post them. Otherwise you'll have to upload to imgur or Photobucket or one of those hosting sites. I prefer to crop mine.
Are you another "cousin from across the pond", RoyS? I know at least one fellow from the UK on this forum. You're welcome, by the way. Hope it's helpful.
Looks like a 13" AGA Campolin batwing swing guard (stag handles, flat button). I would definitely say that one is valuable. Of course condition and function matters.
And one looks like a Frank Beltrame 11" swivel bolster with abalone handles. Those sell new for around $240. I see where last year a pre-owned one sold for $229 at AAPK. It's not a vintage, mint Latama, but $200+ ain't peanuts (not to me anyways ).
Those two swing guards at the lower left that appear to be of similar make in ivory and stag look very unusual and interesting. Then I see more standard swingers in stag, ivory, and dark horn. I like the swing guards if you haven't guessed lol. The Super Automatic OTF is a find,as well. Very nice trove! Lots of interesting blades!
There are some beautiful knives in it and I am with twobit with the 2 in the left corner ,are they maker marked ?Really like the look of them and many others in that box .
Why cant I open boxes like this at Christmas instead of the dreaded socks and underpants .
