“Unveiling Childhood Secrets: British Man Stumbles Upon Hidden Treasure of Original ‘Winnie-The-Pooh’ Artifacts in Father’s Attic”
The Smith family’s discovery was divided into 34 lots and sold for $118,000 to both American and British buyers at an auction held by Fieldings Auctioneers. Given the rarity and historical significance of the items, the auction house was not surprised by the strong interest and impressive final sale price.
“These are incredibly unique,” auctioneer Will Farmer told the BBC. “Within everything that everybody all around the world knows about Milne… these are to my mind probably one of the last little pieces of the puzzle that will complete the whole story.”
