I wonder what this 1846 dated Bigaglia will sell for!

A fantastic weight, Bigaglia's don't come knocking every day, or year for that matter.
And this one's a gem with several signature/date canes, silhouettes etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if it goes well into five digits.

$7905 / £5240 .... I thought the mix of canes might have taken it to even more than that.

A bargain I think. It's a worldwide recession, I suspect there will be plenty more bargains in the year ahead.
I wish I'd had the money tho, but I'm young so I can still dream of a PB coming my way  :)
