Jm Casino Patch Auction

[Blake H]

Did you bid on the Wigan Casino "End of an era" patch on JMs auction that finished last Wednesday? If you got out bid and would like one I have one that I would part with for a reasonable bid (the one in the auction which was unused went for £78!!

The difference with my patch is that it has actually been inside the casino and if buildings had the equivalent of DNA this patch would contain some! Now there's a frightening thought.

Its in good nick but has been attached to a holdall.

Drop me a pm if interested

Sold now folks, thanks for all the input

No thanks Tony, trying to sell the one I have, as someone took the bidding up to £78 someone else must have missed out. Just saw an opportunity to catch the losing bidder. Not a rare patch at all but if they are realising that sort of money why not?

Thanks anyway

Though fairly rare surely...I wonder how many were made...2,000 max?

You could probably write off a fair few hundred that were destroyed on bags, jackets and disguarded over the years?

Then the surviving ones are usually cherished as keepsakes by those (of us), who attended the actual night and would be reluctant to sell?

As for demand..no idea but.they make great items to display, look at, and smile...though I must admit all of mine are in a bag in a cupboard surrounded by records!

An old piece of cloth yes, but a nice bit of historic cloth never the less. Good luck with selling chaps

Framed all the ones I had left..they're hanging on the wall in my record room. Night Owl is a repro, think the rest are orig.
