Automobilia

Where do you first turn when you pick up an auction catalogue?

 

For Team Bentley Spotting members its the cars.

 

 

 

And of course the Rolls-Royce & Bentley cars in particular.

 

But others turn to the Automobilia. 

 

Perhaps searching for an original catalogue for their pride and joy...

 

That hard to find item needed to complete a collection.

 

Or perhaps a rare part, an an out of print book, something decorative for the garage...

 

May be even something decorative for the house....just don't tell the wife!

 

Here are some automobilia found among a much bigger collection of photos.

 

A nice selection of mascots:

 

 

A 1929 Rolls-Royce deskpiece clock with solid silver case:

 

 

It was being offered at GBP 4,500...but when we're not sure!

 

 

And perhaps a little expensive compared to the GBP 3,750 just acheived for a similar item: http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20929/lot/179/

 

Finally, some mascots/badges from the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club and Brooklands Aero Club...

 

 

Some tempting items.
