LONDON AUCTION HOUSE Bonham’s have just held one of their most unusual annual auctions. The Gentleman’s Library Sale traditionally features collectables and furniture which one could imagine sitting comfortably in one’s private library/smoking room/19th century private gentleman’s club.
But who on earth buys Winston Churchill’s upper denture plate (it sold for stg£19,200)? Or a collection of 1920s glass eyes?
The first six pics in the following slideshow show some of the items which went under the hammer at Bonham’s on Wednesday this week. The rest are items which sold in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Gentleman’s Library auction at Bonham’s. This, apparently, is what counts as hot stuff for the discerning (most likely, British) gentleman collector:
