Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 247. We are a little bit late with this Sale having just arrived back in the office on January 3rd but we begin the year with a selection of affordable collectables to let recover from your Christmas spend. A highlight of the Sale historically is the selection of Prison Camp notes from WWI and WWII. Of course, we know from history that many of the German Prisoner of War Camps from WWII were actually transit camps used by the Germans to transport targeted groups of people such as Jews, Gypsies and Communists to their deaths in the notorious death camps in Poland. Westerbrook in the Netherlands was one such camp while Buchenwald Concentration Camp was itself a bleak destination being responsible for the deaths of over 50,000 internees from overwork, lack of food and targeted executions. In all conflicts, when one side has the upper hand over the other then the so-called ‘Rules of War’ count for naught. Also in the Sale is a very rare Australian 1931 ‘Indian die - Dropped 1‘ Penny. This coin variety is a classic rarity of the Australian Penny series with an estimated mintage of about 500 coins of which less than 50 are known to have survived. For those collectors spending high hundreds of dollars to own a ‘rare’ 2012 ‘Red Poppy’ $2 coin with a 10,000-fold mintage of 503,000, this coin could provide a real alternative. The Sale as usual has a wide variety of Watches, Jewellery, Australian and World Coins and other Collectables in the 450 lots on offer. We hope you find something to satisfy your collector interests. The staff of Smalls Auctions wishes all our valued customers a happy and prosperous New Year, and we look forward to continuing to offer you interesting sales in the coming months. Smalls Auctions
