Thought the seller was a little ambitious here. $1160 GBP and reserve not met [:o]. Have only seen examples with perfect gold boarders breech the $1000 pound mark. Nice strong color with no defects but...
Was watching a number of items in a recently completed BBR event and saw a nice green gladiator (12 o’clock sword) go for around 1400 pounds. Appreciate this may not be considered by some as the harder of the three in this series but still a very rare and indeed desirable pot lid. Refer lot...

Our thoughts and best wishes are with David Metcalf after being struck down by some mystery condition last week that has affected his brain which in turn has shut down all his bodily functions. He is only given two weeks to live. This was quite a shock for local NZ and AU collecting community...
