Rarely does such an impressive grouping of early Royal Doulton figures come onto the market, but Adam Partridge Auctioneers have certainly pulled it out the bag this week!

Here is the super rare HN 445 Guy Fawkes not previously illustrated. He is model 226 originally introduced in 1918 as HN 98 in the typical red cloak, this slightly later version from 1921 features a lustrous green cloak and fabulous all round painting!

Famed as we Brits know is famed for his plot to blow up Parliament on Nov 5th 1605.

This large size Harry Tittensor model was produced in three colourways; this being the last introduced in 1921 and available to order until the 1930s, although no other examples in green have turned up. He was later produced in miniature HN 3271 remodelled by Peter Gee in 1989.
