Rembrandt vest update

Post by Ninth Delegate »

A few recent pics of the Rembrandt (plato) vest that was for sale at golden closet not so long ago.

I like a lot the display unit and how it gives the vest a floating effect. A lot better than just hanging the vest on a wall.

Prior to this sale, the vest's previous location was just a little further up from Turnbull gbr's turf; in Leeds UK. The vest remains in the UK and now resides on the south coast area.

That display unit would be great for displaying a replica vest, whoever made it could be missing a trick by not putting them up for general sale.

This was bought in a private sale a few months ago and is no longer for sale.

The display was designed and built afterwards by a third party. It's like a clear perspex half mannequin. I'm impressed by how it turned out. I'd be tempted to tinker with it a little more and die cut the logo in the base, fill it with red transparant perspex and fit a bulb inside the box. I think the display unit has added value to the vest.

It belongs to one of our newer members, whom I had some correspondence with. It's also featured on the Propbay site. It sold for 5 and half grand sterling, which I think is good value, especialy being as it belongs to the deceased cast member of the 9 warriors.

Are the patches on this vest the original ones?

I think the display mannequin makes it look so much better than being displayed flat.
