On the forbidden warpath…
01 March 2005A WORK of art in itself, a piece of US history and redolent of the tragic past of the American Indian tribes in which so many collectors are now passionately interested. Could any artefact be more likely to guarantee a huge price than this Blackfoot war bonnet, right, dating from the early/mid 19th century but still in fine condition?
To my dear sweetheart, the best and latest killing machine…
18 January 2005Wallis & Wallis, Lewes. November 23.

Collectors keep Dinkys rolling as Britains’ toy soldiers go marching on

Toys reflect attitudes over 20th century – and sell well in 21st
07 July 2004TOYS from before the First World War up to the 1970s met with an enthusiastic reception at Wallis & Wallis' (15% buyer's premium) specialist sale on June 14, few more so than a c.1912 Lehmann tinplate toy which raised something of an ethical question.
