I think that if we believe that the auctioneers have somehow split the lots, we're endowing the auctioneers with abilities, attributes, inclinations and limitless time that they don't possess.
What a tedious and irksome task it must have been.

Absolutely David, they just wouldn't have the time. I find this sort of mix up all the time at local auctions. There was a Linguaphone gramophone at one of the sales which was in the (expensive) room which is connected to the internet, while in the other room where the 'clutter' sale was going on at the same time, I bought a lot that happened to include the Linguaphone records in their proper matching case that should have been with the gramophone in the sale in the other room.
If it wasn't for me having a couple of property moves necessitating big clear outs over the years, then that 'hoard' could easily be similar to the collection that I might have had by now
