A collection of personal items, comprising:

v) Olive leather briefcase, left by Peter Sellers at Brookfield Cottage and subsequently given to Herring

vi) Linguaphone: Cours de François, set of LP vinyl records (14 of 16), in original carry-case, a gift from Peter Sellers ("...Peter knew that my girlfriend at this time was French, and told me to keep the records as I had a good reason for using them... the spoof French accent for Peter’s role as Inspector Clouseau might have been conceived by listening to these records!...", Alan Herring)
