Auction
An anonymous bidder bought a pair of sex toys from an auction at Brentwood, Essex. The 200 year old toy was auctioned for 3,600 pounds.

Staff at Brentwood Antiques Auction described the toys as “extraordinary and exceptionally rare" and said they were probably French. It is estimated to date back to the late 1700s.

“You might laugh, but it"s a good opportunity for investment," said auctioneer, Wendy Wood. “You won"t see another one in a long time," she added.

Auctioneers listed the lot under “Erotica" and a catalogue description read: Designed To Please.
