[QUOTE="Mavota, post: 9432509, member: 79877"]Hello all. I recently bought a lot at auction (in England) which consisted mainly of family trees and pedigrees (which I am interested in), but it also included a few other items, including one which rather took me by surprise (you’ll see what I mean). 1. Print of a naked man. I’ve covered over his genitals (it is very detailed). I think the signature says “Semenzato ‘75” … does anyone know who he is/was? 2. Portrait of a man with glasses. Pencil and purple paint on green paper. I think it says “Edward Samaan 11-6-1976 London” … is that the artist or the sitter? 3. Japanese 1979 calendar. This came in a cardboard tube stamped "Oversea Courier Service Co., Ltd", from "C. Itoh & Co." (a very big corporation) and addressed to Mr. M. Yano at "The Bank of Tokyo, Ltd., Northgate House, 20/24 Moorgate, London". 4. Poster of … mythical scenes? Three copies. It says copyright “Verkerke GMBH Printed in Holland”. 5. Poster of “Crests and Insignia of the Royal Navy”. It seems to be a recruitment poster “devised by the Directorate of Public Relations, Royal Navy”. 6. Poster copy of a portrait of Richard III from the National Portrait Gallery. Published by HM Stationary Office. 7. Poster maps of Surrey and Middlesex. I’m not interested in keeping any of these, so I’ll either take them to the charity shop, sell, or dump. Would any of this stuff be of interest to anyone, or is it all worthless?[/QUOTE]
