In a few of weeks time there is another costume sale at Bonhams in Knightsbridge, this time selling off a vast number of items which have featured in the various exhibitions that have been held around the country.
Since I covered the previous auctions at Bonhams on the
16th June 2009 and
16th December 2009, I felt I should do the same for this, but because there are SO many items on offer, I have split them up by Doctor.
Here are just the lots relating to the Seventh Doctor era
Of particular interest is Lot 91, which includes both the red AND brown hat bandana hankies I have been producing replicas of.
I’m almost tempted to bid, or at the least hope the ultimate buyer is someone who is agreeable to allowing access for the purposes of scanning them . . .
Though in the auction itself, that may be out shone by the Ace jacket (Lot 81), which still bears its patches, some of which have yet to be properly identified.
Finally, its sad to see the state of the Tetrap (Lot 89), compared to the one at the 16th December auction.
