AN ICO TRADERS WILLOWBY SIDE TABLE
Looking for an opening bid of $80
The Webbs sale seems pretty loaded with stuff left over from last year this week, but I don’t remember seeing this cool little side table before - the colours are great and all those parallel legs are so nice to look at!
A LARGE VINTAGE PINK PANTHER
Looking for an opening bid of $80
I feel like this particular large Pink Panther soft toy was everywhere for a little while, and this one seems to be in particularly good condition.
'DEAN BUCHANAN IN WEHRMACHT UNIFORM', PETER PERYER
Current bid $100
Cordy’s is still working through Ron Browson’s stuff and there’s 60-odd of his prints from his photography collection in this week’s auction. This one, Peter Peryer’s 1978 portrait of Dean Buchanan, serves as a good reminder to not let artist friends put you in problematic costume in their work as it’s just going to keep coming back to haunt you.
1920 BOOK 'VITALOGY ILLUSTRATED'
Current bid $20
Easily the highlight of the week. I had no idea the Pearl Jam record was based on anything at all, but it’s exactly the same cover on this 1920s wellness book and it would be an amazing gift for any fan. If that’s not enough to sway you, the book promises to offer long life and success.
MIDGE MARSDEN’S COPY OF THE WHITE ALBUM
Current bid $55
Imagine having people around for dinner and then asking them if they want to listen to Midge Marsden’s copy of the White Album! (No. 20094) but also comes with a poster. Also available: a bunch of his BLUES LPS.
1960s - 1980s FILM POSTERS
Current bid $30
This old film poster format, predating the tyranny of the Ax sizings, is so nice to look at and there’s a bunch of them here — and also HERE.
MEN IN WHITE - THE HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL CRICKET 1894-1985
Current bid $10
Not only is this an amazing document of the history of NZ cricket in the many, many years leading up to us being any good, but also: a very nice page grid, a numbered edition, and looks to be in good order. Plus, copies of this are selling for $600 online.
CARVED BONE REPLICA DART GUN
Current bid $10
A good reminder that if you are faring badly in this time of low employment, there’s still always work for novelty assassins.
MID CENTURY WALL UNIT
Current bid $10
If this stays anywhere close to the current bid it will be an insane price to get one of these wonderful modular units for, despite the obvious terror involved in trying to hang it off your wall.
VESPA BATTERY RIDE ON
Current bid $40
An amazing first Vepsa for any 8-year-old aspiring to be a muse for a late-middle aged French film director.
DEHUMIDIFIER
Current bid $10
I don’t know if these do anything or if they are more of a chiropractor sort of thing, but it is so fucking humid right now, maybe just having something humming away in the background, filling up a tank of water would make you feel better about the situation.
