“On Tuesday a polar-theme sale at Bonhams will offer a dog collar (estimated at $6,400 to $9,500) from a husky named Joe, who hauled Scott’s sledges for years. Joe was killed in 1903, after the dog food ran out. During an Australian team’s 1910s Antarctic journeys, sled dogs and explorers died from malnutrition or falls into crevasses; the Bonhams sale includes silver-plated asparagus tongs ($3,200 to $4,800) from those trips, bearing a penguin motif” (via).
