The sale of late British leader Margaret Thatcher’s possessions has raised £3.3 million (4.5 million euros, $5 million), auction house Christie’s said on Tuesday.
Former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s famous red ministerial box fetched 242,500 pounds ($364,600, 334,000 euros) at a sale of her possessions held Tuesday in London by auction house Christie’s.
The blue velvet wedding dress she wore in 1951 sold for £25,000.
They are among 150 items belonging to the late PM being auctioned at Christie’s, with bids from as far away as the US, Australia and South Korea.
Handbags, speech notes, gifts from world leaders and the raincoat she famously wore to drive a tank in 1986 are also being sold.
