A "rare" opportunity to purchase personal items belonging to Che Guevara and Fidel Castro will arise next week. Bristol auctioneer Paul Fraser Collectibles will be auctioning off items including Che Guevara's fishing rod, water bottle and cigar lighter, which he reportedly bought at Shannon Airport duty free.
Among the items belonging to Fidel Castro are a cigar box he used to avoid being assassinated and a cigar box with secret doors, which he is said to have used to smuggle messages out of prison. A spokesperson for the auctioneer said: "You rarely see Castro's possessions for sale, and Guevara's never."
The auction takes place online and closes on June 23. It will feature a total of 40 lots of "never-before-seen Cuban history" listed below, with one in particular expecting to fetch six figures.
