We have bought Alma's two sideboards, and dining table and chairs.
CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PHOTOS.
After receiving an email in November 2007 I followed up on the story and was able to get proof of provenance that these items were made for Alma in the late 50''s. After some negotiation on price, the items now belong to the members of the Alma fan Club.
I along with a friend Brian did see the sideboard and dining table in 1959. At the time they were really 'POSH' to Brian and I.
Who would have thought after nearly fifty years they would end up with the Alma fan's
I checked on the history of their whereabouts over the years, and found they had been in storage twice and had had three owners. The condition is excellent.
I am very proud that the Alma Fan Club are now the owners of such rare items of furniture. I am hoping to get a story printed in the national newspapers, sometime in the near future. If anybody would like to view them please email me at:- almacogan@gmail.com
What will we find next?

George Clooney is making a film about Alma Cogan. He has cast an unknown singing waitress he discovered at the Cannes Film Festival by the name of Victoria Hart.
He was planning to go to London to cast the part of Alma, but after seeing Miss harts stunning performance at Ocean thirteens party, he knew he had found the right person for the alma cogan part.
He knew an American actress certainly wouldn't work . Victoria will have to dye her hair black to recreate Alma's famous bubble cut, and beehive styles. Filming is to begin early next year (2008)
The Alma Cogan Official International Fan Club is hoping to be involved in the film, and is awaiting confirmation from Mr Clooney as we speak.
