Following the sale, Charles Miller said: “We were very pleased with the overall result, which saw strong bidding from private buyers –
both in the UK and overseas. In addition to the strong results for objects such as William IV’s Telescope, we were delighted with the price
paid for the 1:16 scale working demonstration of the tunnelling shield used to excavate the Rotherhithe Tunnel, which sold for £3,360 to
London’s Science Museum. I look forward to the next sale on October 26.”
