i was wondering why the latest freemans london sale hasnt put the sale results up online for the graham turner collection , i would love to have gone and got a few for my collection but the high prices put me off. im dying to know what the main lots made and the lots i was interested in too.. i believe he got 24k for the ustonson...

Yes I'd also like to see the results - I was shocked by some of the estimates for William Brown phantom minnows - would like to know what they realised.

I thought it hadn't hit reserve...............so not sure.(??)

I heard that the Wyers Freres display (#167) made within estimate

A couple of the items have already appeared on ebay.Thought most of the estimates were really high so would love to find prices realised

The selling prices are on the website now.

The Ustonson didn't sell. It will be interesting to hear the reviews of those who managed to get a close look at it. The letters page pof the next issue of Classic Angling will be hot!

And the Wyers Freres display made 23 grand. I wonder how much the buyer told his wife he'd paid.

regards,

Doc

Just been comparing prices realised with catalogue.Seems high estimates ploy backfired.Regret not going now.Wonder how many stayed away because of this

Yes I have to say I was fishing on the day - had I known how the prices were going to be I might have made the effort to attend - there were certainly some things that slipped through at reasonable prices.. As I said I was shocked by some of the estimates!
