A pair of glasses, worn by Mahatma Gandhi have sold in Britain for $520,000 NZD.
The glasses were found hanging in the letterbox of a Bristol auction house. The glasses had been left there by a gentleman whose uncle had been given them by Gandhi himself.
Apparently, Gandhi gave the gold-plated glasses to vendor’s uncle who worked for BP in South Africa in 1920s
The sale price smashed the original estimate of about $35,000.
