Space Compax coming up at auction

timjohn · Nov 2, 2014

Denhams in the UK has a Space Compax coming up for auction (lot 815), but they have estimated it at £3,500-4,000, which seems a little steep.

Any thoughts

I haven't looked at the example that is up for auction, but if it is in good condition and all authentic/correct, it is likely to go well over that estimate, IMO.

bad anglicization of "objects of vertu." "Virtue" is a literally correct translation, but not quite the same as "vertu" in this context.
