Strong bidding at Tennants

Two plaques came up at Tennants Auctioneers today.  The first titled 'The Gauntlet Clipper Ship' sold for £280, which with commission etc comes in at around £350. You can see another example of this transfer on the Less common ships page.

The second, a smaller plaque titled 'Richard Cobden MP', sold for £450, which with commission is over £550.  Proof that even in troubled times, fantastic items hold their value. You can see further examples of Cobden plaques on the Portraits page. Congratulations to their new owner, whoever he or she may be!
