LeeRoebuck Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yesterday with a slight tinge of food poisoning and an umbrella i headed down the Cheffins sale. With an eye to purchasing some of the very rare and very early David Brown photographs which had all come from a private collection which at one point had belonged to Mr H P R Scott, General Manager of the factory. Link to lots: http://www.cheffins....tage-sale-226-0 The auction commenced and what was witnessed couldn't have been predicted. Lot 1. £500 Lot 2. £260 Lot 3. £460 Lot 4. £460 Lot 5. £480 Lot 6. £2600! All lots went to the same buyer with the addition of 10% buyers comission and vat. Lots 7 & 8 made £200 and £160 repspectively. The lots themselves were a unique collection but many of the photographs, as with the image above had been seen and duplicated in DB publications and books. There were lots of duplicated images too with 20 or so copies of the industrial Ferguson Brown included in a single lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brown Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Blimey a few quid did change hands probably out of my price range but I would of liked to have looked through that lot. Was the photos from early DB or was it a mix of old and new DB? Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeRoebuck Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 They were all early photographs from 1939 to 1940. The ferguson brown lots had some very interesting photographs including a high clearance ferry brown with what looked like a pro driven sprayer.
