Sold ... pair of wooden sex toys
THESE two sex toys are thought to be more than 200 YEARS OLD.
The wooden phalluses — one measuring ten inches and the other a whopping 11 inches — were bought by an anonymous bidder for £3,600 at an auction in Brentwood, Essex, today.
Lot to handle ... auctioneer Wendy Wood with sex toy
Staff at Brentwood Antiques Auction described the sex toys as "extraordinary and exceptionally rare" and said they were probably French and dated back to the late 1700s.
Auctioneer Wendy Wood told bidders: "You might laugh but it's a good opportunity for investment.
"You won't see another one in a long time."
Auctioneers listed the lot under "Erotica" and a catalogue description read: "Designed to please Lot 340 - An extraordinary and exceptionally rare 'Travel Godermiche'.
"A pair of wooden phallus contained within a fitted kid leather covered Treen case with strap fleurs-de-lys decoration, one phallus ten inches and with testicles and the other 11 inches and without testicles.
"The case, although having a re-lined interior appears to have age commensurate with those of the phallus and both are thought to date from the late 18th century and are probably French."
