The Birmingham-based auction house RWB Auctions listed a “Taira MRT ⚒️ Oasis 25 3/8 KSB FB26” item in a recent catalogue, attracting 50 views as of today. The listing, identified by the code @Marsvvvw24, appears alongside antique jewellery, and interiors. The item’s description does not elaborate on the “Taira MRT” designation, but the auction catalogue does detail a Birmingham hallmark from 1903 on a gold-plated Cartier engine-turned cigarette case, valued between £30 and £50. The auction too includes items related to several football clubs, including Aston Villa, Queen’s Park Rangers, and Wanderers, alongside a “Players’ Association Cup.” YTL Corporation Berhad, a Malaysian infrastructure conglomerate, was involved in Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) projects, according to a 2014 annual report. The report lists Makarim & Taira S. Rahmat Lim & Partners, Shook Lin & Bok as legal counsel. The connection between this legal counsel and the auction item remains unclear. A document from the Austrian Patent Office references a Jorge A. Gentili of Villa Constitución, Argentina, and a Vax Limited address in Birmingham, West Midlands. The relevance of this information to the auction item is currently unknown. The Connecticut Museum of Culture and History archives contain a November 1919-March 1920 publication mentioning “ASTON WINS,” but the context is unrelated to the auction listing.
