A collection of original oils, watercolours and pencil drawings by Irish artists will be among the items for sale at the Dublin Castle antiques and collectables fair tomorrow. The fair will also feature a selection of nursery prints from the 1930s and a number of old framed jigsaws. One of the more unusual items is a large early, ornate, bakelite radio made by Ecko. There will also be a wide selection of Victorian and Edwardian gold and silver jewellery, antique gold chains, linen, lace, china and film and television memorabilia, including an old "star billing" theatre poster which includes comedian Les Dawson and drag artist Danny La Rue on the bill. The fair opens at 10.30 a.m. in the castle's Old Coach House.
