A woman has decided to send her whopping collection of 2,000 bars of soap to auction
Stephanie Weaver, 78, has built up the collection, largely from hotel bathrooms across the world, for over the last 50 years.
“Whenever I went into a hotel the first thing I would do is go into the bathroom to see if there was any soap. If there was I saved it as a memento. I used to take spare soap with me to use. I just liked to collect different soaps as a memory of my stay. Top news stories today “One soap gift set spells out ‘Grandma’. My grandchildren bought that. I suppose the most important bar, historically, is one a friend gave me dating back to circa 1900. It displays the heads of various monarchs. I also have a soap crown on a cushion made to mark the 1953 Coronation.
Charles Hanson, owner of Hansons Auctioneers, said: “It’s an unusual find which could get bidders in a lather on the slippery slope to auction day. Let’s hope bids lather up. Stephanie’s collection is totally unique. It’s not of a particularly high monetary value. I would expect it to fetch around £200.
