Not a very exciting bunch to me which is fine as no cash to spend anyway Makes the 2004 Chartres sale look all the more amazing. I'd planned to be at that auction and was in Paris the day before with a bunch of money in my pocket to spend, but for various reasons ended up back in the UK on auction day instead. Turned out to be the right decision as a family member died that day and impacted the rest of the trip. And after the fact there was actually only one machine I'd have gone crazy to own and bid well past what it sold for.

Can anyone post the results for machine part of the auction? Thanks

The only machine I would have been interested in was the Rolatop, which has original paint and sold for £1800 incl commission, so cheap.....

You can see prices below and the original link to the auction house showing pictures.....

..... and the sandwich au bacon?

No bids. I blame the WHO for saying eating bacon is as bad as smoking. They should stick to rock music in my opinion.

I never believed a word they said after Keith Moon died. The voice of common sense had left.
