Bonhams auction - 10th December 2014

Can’t believe 2014 is nearly over - so to confirm its immenant demise Bonhams are holding their usual December Entertainment Memorabilia sale.

Must say I’m a little puzzled by this item in the catalogue.

If the photograph is to be gone by, it sold in last year’s December 2013 Bonhams sale for an eye-watering £6,250. Curious to see it’s back up for sale for a mere £2,000 to £3,000.


As usual I have separated the items by Doctor era, and you can see the rest of the items here:
Here are just the lots relating to the Second Doctor era
