A Huntley & Palmers biscuit from the stores of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1908-1909, Cape Royds, lat. 77°33'S, long. 166°07'E
Estimate: £1,000-1,500
Sold for: Well... A gentleman called up on the day of the sale to find out how much the biscuit had sold for because he worked for Huntley & Palmers and would be writing an article on how a "biscuit for god's sakes!" could sell at Chritie's! He even promised to send us a tin full so we could all rejoice together at the sale of one silly biscuit at Christie's!! So when I told him that it didn't sell- "what?? did not sell?" he was expectantly disappointed... and we never did get that tin full of biscuits.
