Rarity4u is located in the land of the Vikings on the Oslo Fjord, in a small village called Son. Traders from the Netherlands gave the place its name when they brought salt to Norway and took wood back home with them. The original spelling by the Dutch is still in evidence today and the place name has several spellings - Zoen, Zoon, Soon and Son. The cultural heritage centre in Son helps to capture and maintain the special atmosphere and character of the place.
The harbour in Son has a special section for historical boats, and is in fact the home of Sally III, a 12.0 meter long 2.40 tonne mahogany sailing boat designed and built in Son by Jac M Iversen in 1921. Sally III is kept in sailing order and can be seen around Son during the summer months. Although ageing gracefully, Sally III can still show a clean pair of heels to some of the latest designs emerging from the plastic moulds. During the summer of 2003, Sally III was featured in a television programme about historical boats still sailing in this part of Norway. The ownership of Sally has now been transferred from private, to Follo Museum.At Rarity4u we operate a policy of due diligence to ensure the items we offer for sale are not wanted property. As apart of this policy we have links from this site to Interpol and police forces across UK to help the recovery of stolen items. As we find new links we will add them to the site.
