A Super Genie 16" folding bicycle:
A unique autographed photographic self-portrait of the actor Edward Petherbridge, entitled "Wimsey Through the Looking Glass", kindly donated to us by Edward himself. It was taken by him in the dressing room mirror at the Lyric, Hammersmith, when he was playing Lord Peter Wimsey in "Busman's Honeymoon":
A beautiful handmade double quilt with what can only be called "A History" ... It was a prop in the ill-fated West End 'musical' about the suicide of Ernest Hemingway entitled Too Close to the Sun, which ran for just two weeks in the summer of 2009 after one of the worst critical drubbings in theatre history. In a forlorn attempt to recoup SOME of the money it lost, the producers took the unprecedented step of putting the props up for sale on eBay while the production was still running ... which is how we ended up with the quilt. It comes with a Programme and a letter of provenance if required. But even without the track record, it's a gorgeous quilt ...
An autographed copy of Edward Enfield's latest book Old Age and How to Survive It:
A boxed 3-DVD set of the BBC's award-winning documentary series Seven Wonders of the Industrial World autographed by Jay Benedict, who played legendary engineer Frank Crowe in the Hoover Dam episode:
A signed copy of Ranulph Fienne's latest book Mad Dogs and Englishmen - An Expedition Round My Family.
