Clearly either there are many more than one born per minute or they were all in one place at the same time!

What really shocked me was:

41 Twelve Napkins and Rings, (25) £2,000
65 A Passenger Rug, (2) £1,200
66 Six Sets of Salt and Pepper Mills, £700
67 A Set of Five Cross Pens, (5) £1,500
78 A Smythson’s Stationery Set, (4) £700
128 A Commemorative 1:100 Scale Model of Concorde, £17,000

Some people paid way through the nose for those items!

How do you contract Bonham's? I have a few items I'd be willing to part with at these prices...

I have a Concorde Wedgewood photo frame, opening bid starts at €5000

I'll also be selling a Smythson 2002 leather diary for €10000 and my Smythson writing kits for €1500.

I think we could probably have a pretty profitable "Flyertalk Concorde Auction".

I've got loads of flight documentation like High Altitude Jeppessens, the briefing documents and all the computer printouts of fuel calculations and stuff. I've had it nearly 8years and still can't decipher half of it!
