estimate £5-6000 expect a hammer price nearer £7000.

The Noble 24th :-

Enlisted at Liverpool Lancashire 15/6/1875 age 19years. effects claimed by his mother and sister.

Hammer 5500 - around £6600 after fees a realtive bargain - looks like having an auction on Thanksgiving isnt the best of ideas. I suspect this will be viewed as a rea bargain by whoever bought it!!

happy thanksgiving to our American members!!

The time of year is significant with Xmas spending coming up. A very good time of year to buy used cars too, particularly convertibles!
But that was a nice medal for that price.
Well bought whoever you are. (£6820 after commission and vat).

Hi Tasker / Sergio.
