The first specimen shown was lot 151 in Aureo y Calicó sale 232 (Barcelona, March 2011), where it sold for 4,900 euros (about US$8,085 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

This specimen was lot 1128 in Jean Elsen sale 111 (Brussels, December 2011), where it sold for 2,500 euro (about US$3,847 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,
