More than 50 vintage prams collected over five decades are set to go to auction.
The collection, amassed over 50 years by Brian and Shirley Bromwich, from Coventry, includes one model which dates back to 1878 and a 1930s art deco pram from France.
The full collection is set to go under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers in Staffordshire on 28 September and could fetch up to £10,000.
Mrs Bromwich, 87, purchased her first pram, a navy blue Silver Cross, for her son Martin in 1960, costing £36.
“I don’t know what it was about them but if a relative or anyone in the village had one I was just fascinated,” she said.
“It cost £36, and I remember my mother telling me it would be bad luck to buy it too early, but I just couldn’t wait to push it up and down the hall.”
The couple, who have six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren are downsizing the collection, which they have kept in a large garden shed.
“We have taken part in pram pushes around the UK but now it’s time to sell the collection,” Mr Bromwich, 87, added.
“It is a sad decision, but we have only ever been the prams’ caretakers and it’s time to pass them on to new owners.”
The collection also includes a Millson Prince, which a Hansons spokesperson said was similar to models used by generations of royal children, including King Charles III and Princess Charlotte.
