I came across this vintage Bonhams catalogue dating from 1993.
In my research into sales of
Doctor Who costumes and memorabilia at historical Bonhams auctions, I don’t think I’ve seen quite so many Who-related items in a general sale before - 75 items in total, most of which are costume.
Catalogues in those days were sparsely written, often containing typing errors and misattributions. Hence you will see
Sontarin (not Sontaran) and
Androzanni (instead of Androzani).
Other instances cite the wrong episode titles; wrong seasons; and occasional wrong aliens!
I have therefore NOT attempted to correct any of these as it is not always possible to fathom the ambiguous nature of some of the listings.
Where possible I have used the (few) photos from the catalogue to illustrate the items, but most I have sourced images from either episodes cited, or later Bonhams auctions where it would appear these items resurfaced for sale.
As usual I have separated the items by Doctor era, and you can see the rest of the items here:
