PMs for sale
Spitting Image puppets net thousands
Spitting Image puppets of Margaret Thatcher and Gordon Brown have sold for almost £10,000.The latex puppets were auctioned off at a memorabilia sale at London auction house Bonham’s yesterday.
The former Tory leader was bought for the Imperial War Museum for £5,040; while the Prime-Minister-in-waiting fetched £4,800 from a private buyer.
Brown’s puppet fetched roughly what was expected, but Thatcher’s puppet had a guide price of only around £3,000.
