It is well-known that the market for Royal Doulton HN series figures is at something of a low ebb.
However, the exception to the general rule of bargain-basement prices comes for the small number of very rare figures that appeal to a core collecting base. Many end up in North America.
The figure offered at McTear’s (20% buyer’s premium) in Glasgow in August 24 brought a bid of £6900 – the highest for the HN series in recent memory.
