Spartancrest Posted March 22, 2022 Report Posted March 22, 2022 This auction - https://www.jauce.com/auction/g1043772704 "Stimulated the little grey cells" as Hercule Poirot would say - I had seen this guard in a little 1945 Japanese book only just recently. Has anyone seen it published after that date? [1/4/1945] Does the mere fact that it has been published, increase its value or is it more a case of providing provenance that adds to the value? I wonder where it has been all these years? 2 Quote
Spartancrest Posted April 7, 2022 Author Report Posted April 7, 2022 A 1938 version of the book - https://www.jauce.com/auction/n1037343636 small 18.5 cm x 12.5 cm Why they don't show any of the contents when they try to sell a book is baffling.
