Scottish Greats: Football, Golf, Fishing and more
Football memorabilia struck a chord with collectors in this banner Sporting auction.
A rare SFA Scottish Cup Winner’s Medal of 1933-34 awarded to Willie Nicholson of Rangers F.C. sparked competition among ‘Gers collectors with the fact that Nicholson scored a brace in the final only adding to the selling for an impressive £3,200.
The very next lot saw an even more protracted bidding battle between two phone lines for an important Internazionale jersey from the 1966-67 season, believed to be that of Italian legend Mauro Bicicli – after five-plus minutes of back and forth the hammer finally fell at a spectacular £9,000.
Golf and fishing were both well represented with a private collection including a signed Tiger Woods photograph chiming well with bidders fresh from the Open at St. Andrews before reels by famed maker Hardy Bros. of Alnwick amongst others keenly contested.
Entries are invited for the next Sporting auction on 14th October. For a complimentary, no-obligation valuation, make an appointment to visit our Glasgow Galleries or contact our specialists by clicking this link and completing the short form.
