CLEAN : Gandhi's iconic glasses go on sale in the UK

The transcript narrates the discovery of an envelope containing spectacles and a note claiming they belonged to Ghandi. The story traces the spectacles' origin to the 1920s, given to the vendor's uncle by Ghandi in South Africa. Verifying their authenticity is challenging due to the lack of living witnesses. Despite this, the story aligns with historical facts, and the spectacles have been in the same family for over 100 years. Initially valued at 10,000 to 15,000 pounds, bids quickly exceeded 50,000 pounds as the auction approached.
