Gandhi`s round glasses win auction at a British auction for 36 million yen
今回出品されたガンジーの眼鏡は先月、イギリスのオークションハウスに突然郵送で届きました
The Gandhi glasses exhibited this time suddenly arrived by mail at an auction house in the UK last month.
The envelope contained a letter saying This is from Gandhi and gold-rimmed round glasses
It seems that the owner`s uncle was given by Gandhi in South Africa in the 1920s
Gandhi is known for giving old and unnecessary glasses to his supporters, and it seems that these glasses were also given as a token of some gratitude.
It was expected in advance that the price would be 15,000 pounds = Japanese yen, and it would be sold for about 2 million yen.
In the auction held on the 21st, it was sold for about 36 million yen at a much higher price of 260,000 yen = Japanese yen.
