You can buy anything on Trademe including a Hotere or two - but look at this.
Here is the picture because the link will disappear eventually.
From the auction: “This easel was owned by my Grandmother, Elizabeth (Betty) Curnow, who was a painter and printmaker for many years. She was also the subject of a well-known portrait study by Rita Angus - ‘Portrait of Betty Curnow’ - whom she knew as a friend throughout her life. So there may be some historical value there.”

I do believe it sold - back in March (I was NOT the seller). I hope it went to a good and appreciative home
