The  well worn copy of the 1916 Proclamation (above) was the stellar attraction at the “Irish Political, Literary & Military History” Sale conducted by James Adam & Sons at their Dublin salesrooms yesterday, selling for €100,000 – a good €20,000 above its upper pre-sale estimate –  with other items relating to 1916 also seeing keen interest. Surprisingly the superb RIC uniforms failed to sell but no doubt they will find their way into various collections in due course.
