A day at the Races, 1885 style. UPDATE: THIS MADE 170 AT HAMMER
Dunville’s Whiskey, Capstan cigarettes, Fry’s Chocolate, Guinness toucans and Mick McQuaid plug tobacco advertisements are among the nostalgia generating lots on offer at Victor Mee’s Collector’s Collection sale online sale on January 28 and 29 at 6 pm on each day. More than 1,400 lots from an Ireland that is all but gone but still intensely familiar will come under the hammer. Sales of memorabilia, even those from beyond living memory like an 1885 Great Northern Railway advertisement for a special train to Baldoyle Races, remain enduringly popular. UPDATE: DATE CHANGED TO FEBRUARY 4 AND 5.
