Here's an interesting scout round the biggest sales in 2019 of rare books, papers and collectables from prestigious auction houses. They included Sir Isaac Newton's autograph, a dodo skeleton, an RUR, original NASA moon landing filmstock and Darth Vader's original helmet!

What would you have bid on?
Sir Isaac Newton's handwritten pages! What a Christmas gift that would make!
What a wealth of wonderful items! According to the page scroll thingy at right I haven't even reached a fifth of it yet, but so far the Victorian pencil sharpener stood out. Brilliant thing and useful too. :)
ReplyDeleteMagnificent moon map for Wotan there as well.
