Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 175. We all know that despite the smokescreen blown by the tobacco industry over the last fifty years smoking has now been proven to be lethal for your health. Perhaps it was the death of the ‘Marlboro Man’ that ‘belled the cat’ but that still did not stop the likes of US President Bill Clinton from enjoying a Cuban or for that matter Australian politicians Joe Hockey or Matthias Corman who were caught doing the same just a few years ago after delivering a Federal Budget. But I guess if you are going to go out then do it in style with cigars stored in your very own Royal Selangor Leaf Dominica Humidor. The one in our sale is in as new condition which indicates the owner swore off the coffin nails long before they did too much damage. Also in our Sale is a superb collection of British East Africa coins assembled over decades by the Australian collector Mark Freehill. There are coins he sourced directly from Spinks London as well as others from the famed R J Ford Collection. Mark was an inveterate traveller whose yearly pilgrimages to coin dealerships across the globe allowed him to assemble one of the great British Commonwealth collections. Two special highlights in our Sale are the proofs of the 1937 (L) Ten Cent and the 1942 (L) Ten Cent that he purchased from the Melbourne Mint Museum duplicates sale conducted by Spink Australia way back in the early 1980s. These are top-tier museum quality and worthy of a place in even the best collection. For collectors of Australian Gold coins and Florins there is a small selection of investment grade coins followed by some interesting Australian modern issues. We hope you find something to take your fancy. Smalls Auctions
