SOME of the world's finest memorabilia of the original Hollywood hellraiser has sold for about £20,000 at a Swindon auction.
A collection of more than 150 Errol Flynn-related items was sold at Dominic Winter Book Auctions in Maxwell Street yesterday.
It had been assembled over many years by dedicated Leamington Spa collector Rick Dodd and was thought to be one of the best collections of its kind.
More than 50 people crowded the saleroom to bid for posters, lobby cards, various photographs including 18 signed ones, and a letter written by the star. This was sold for £2,000, following an estimate of £300 to £500.
Those who bid in person were joined by telephone bidders from as far afield as New York.
Auction house valuer and cataloguer Chris Albury said: "Overall, the sale went very well."
