Trio of groggs caricature figures depicting the front row of the Pontypool rugby team from the 1970s, estimate £900-1200 at Rogers Jones.
A timed online sale at Rogers Jones in Cardiff includes this trio of caricature figures – known as groggs – depicting the legendary front row of the Pontypool rugby team from the 1970s.
Comprising loose head prop Anthony ‘Charlie’ Faulkner, hooker Bobby Windsor and tight head prop Graham Price, the Pontypool threesome also represented Wales and the British Lions, becoming the first club front row to achieve both feats.
The manufacturer of the figures, World of Groggs, is a ceramics business founded by John Hughes in 1965 which continues its output today from Treforest in south Wales.
Faulkner died earlier this year which may partly explain the heightened interest in this lot. Bidding, which ends on May 21, has already gone past the estimate of £900-1200.
