Al Kowsky Posted November 16, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 16, 2023 The menu & watch were recently sold by the UK auction house Henry Aldridge & Son, & both photos were taken by them. The lavish menu featured food fit for royalty 🤩, & was dated April 11, 1912. Hopefully every member on that ill-fated ship got to enjoy that dinner. The menu sold for $102,000 😲! The unusual pocket watch was the original property of Sinai Kantor, it sold for $120,440. 7 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
