Bonham auction - 29th June 2016

After Bamfords nipped in earlier this month an stole Bonhams thunder, it’s now time for the summer Film and Entertainment auction at Bonhams in Knightsbridge.

There is a mix of new items; some items previously sold; and some items from previous sales that went unsold, now listed with lower estimates.

For the Second Doctor it all comes under the heading of unsold items, now with lower estimates.

As usual I have separated the items by Doctor era, and you can see the rest of the items here:
