    I agree, should come in useful when the bids heat up !

    I remember a similar item sold for £190 hammer (around £230 with commission) at the Wallis & Wallis Webley sale in 2006.

    Regards

    Now at £410 (4 bids) with a couple of days to go.

    I wouldn't have thought it would be a breeze to sell at this price, but somebody is obviously ready to blow that sort of money to win it.

    Regards

    £410, Brian? Unbelievable. I suppose it was revolutionary in its day.

    If Webley oil cans now have a value of £250+, then I would have thought a Webley fan which is far rarer, more substantial, beautifully made,still has a useful function etc must have a greater value still, so £500 + would not surprise me. And the fact that it is documented in THAT book; well, just gives it further kudos all round.....!
