Buying piecemeal




I was hoping to write something clever about "saving up for the other part" when I bid for this Rolls Royce mascot, (hood ornament), the Spirit of Ecstasy, but sadly it achieved far more than I was prepared to pay. It is c1930s and the lot included three photographs of cars from that period. From the photograph of the mascot it looks as though it would have to be remounted, but I had all that planned.

Ah well, clearly not meant to be, and I think it's always best to be disciplined
in these endeavours, and not get carried away by the moment, which is the great advantage of internet bidding.
