An early 20th century tinned metal jelly or mousse mould.<br />
<br />
Jelly on a slate... an enormous collection of over 400 jelly moulds has emerged from the estate of a fanatical collector. <br />
<br />
Eccentric Andrew Cottrell dedicated his life to amassing an incredible 430 moulds, which he crammed into a specially dedicated room in his house. <br />
<br />
Accumulated throughout his life until his death at the age of 60 in 2015, the selection spans 100 years from the mid 19th century. <br />
<br />
Mr Cottrell's collection, worth an estimated £30,000, will be sold by his four sons through Hampshire-based auctioneer Bellmans on July 12.
