Auction of Thatcher possessions raises £3.3 mn

The sale of late British leader Margaret Thatcher's possessions has raised £3.3 million (4.5 million euros, $5 million), auction house Christie's said on Tuesday.

A model of an American bald eagle given to Thatcher by close ally and former US president Ronald Reagan fetched the highest price for an individual item at £266,500 after a flurry of bidding in person, online and by phone.

The model, with the message "with best wishes from Ronald Reagan", was sold to an online buyer and had been given a top estimated sale price of £8,000 at the London auction.

The former British prime minister's famous red ministerial box was the next most expensive item, selling for £242,500.
