Page 40 - Advertising & Breweriana Auction Sunday 28 November
P. 40

This trio of whisky advertising statuettes came from the late Mick Pond Collection, a past regular at so very many early Elsecar Shows and Auctions, a much loved character in the village when he stayed with Frank & Leslie Burgin, ate at the Milton pub every lunch time & washed it all down with a pint or two in the Market! The Claymore example he actually prised from Alan Blakemans collection on one of his trips over -
 he was very persuasive, the other two are in fact much rarer.
Mick passed away a few years ago instructing his wife Kathy to ensure all of Micks collection came over to BBR for dispersal. Sadly, she passed away but had set the seed for BBR to send over three empty boxes to have them shipped back to the UK. For the Breweriana & Whisky buffs thus presenting quite a significant offering - unique to see all three side by side!
