A pair of spectacles belonging to Mahatma Gandhi sold for £260,000 at auction yesterday twenty six times the guide price.

The gold-coloured glasses were expected to fetch £10,000 but were sold to a collector in America.

Gandhi was known to give away his personal possessions to those who helped him.

The glasses were given to the current owner's uncle by the famous leader during a trip to South Africa in the 1920s.

The rare item was then passed down through generations before ending up in the letterbox of an auction house in Bristol.

These glasses have been lying in a drawer for over 50 years.

A sale price was set between £10,000 and £15,000 for the spectacles but fetched over 26 times higher.




Gandhi named as 'Man of the Year' by the magazine Time in 1930 was a lawyer, political activist and ambassador for peace.

He led the campaign for Indian independence from the rule of Britain in the 20th century by using non-violent resistance.

He developed a distinctive look in later life which many may recognise him by - which included the iconic glasses.

can he use it to see what is happening in heaven, we d vanity crew says; all is vanity upon vanity

I'm patiently waiting to know when Abba kyari's Redcap would be up for sale......and how much it may likely cost...

Some other people have their reservations about iconing and revering Gandhi who they claim has some obviously hidden bad sides to his life and times.

I'm not sure Ghandi would have permitted his property to be sold at such a ridiculous amount.

Indians like to fold their legs too much

Lmfao.
Will I see the second coming of Christ if i wear the glass

Can tha glasses enable me to see the future?

xom

The one naa normal glasses when ALINKO de wear for PAPA AJASCO naa


I stand with ALINKO’s glasses instead

He used his own law practice/knowledge to change the world, inspire and instigate the emancipation of his country.

But today many use theirs to twist the law by lying to make themselves more money
