Ken's collecting was arguably the definitive collection to come on the market. It contains examples of almost all the knows lids, with the most comprehensive collections of Bears' subjects. In this Newsletter we look back at the rare examples that came on the market and the sale prices they realized.

FIG 1 Bears in a Ravine No:14 .......£1400	FIG 2 All But Trapped No:20 .......£1300
FIG 3 Bears Reading Newspaper No:7.......£380	FIG 4 Bears Grease Manufacturer No:3 .....£2900

Had you won the Lottery, you could have bought the entire Bears Lids on offer for £14,395, plus premium 15%, of course. With some very rare lids on offer, prices seemed reasonable but many were framed and condition varied, which perhaps reflected in the price.
