It is the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each...

0:00:020:00:05

I love that.

0:00:050:00:07

..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:070:00:11

Yippee!

0:00:110:00:12

I want pieces that could fly.

0:00:120:00:14

The end? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it is no mean feat.

0:00:140:00:19

There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:190:00:22

Hello, ladies.

0:00:220:00:23

So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:230:00:27

-But there is nobody bidding.

-This is the Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:270:00:32

Yeah!

0:00:330:00:35

This week we're out on the road with antique aficionados Mark Stacey

0:00:370:00:42

and Paul Laidlaw.

0:00:420:00:43

That horrible word strategy comes up, but again I haven't

0:00:430:00:47

got one, actually, cos the one I used on the first occasion

0:00:470:00:51

didn't work, so I think I'll give up on them.

0:00:510:00:53

Antiques dealer Mark Stacey is a bit of a joker.

0:00:560:01:00

You know, I don't think Paul is very happy about being in this show.

0:01:000:01:03

No. I mean, he's furious.

0:01:030:01:06

And he is game for anything.

0:01:060:01:08

-Would you like to have a go?

-No, not really.

0:01:080:01:11

Auctioneer Paul Laidlaw simply fizzes with energy.

0:01:130:01:17

I want pieces that could fly, and that is a good feeling.

0:01:170:01:20

Loving it!

0:01:210:01:22

And he is a tough-talking Scotsman when it comes to naming his price.

0:01:240:01:27

I wish I hadn't asked you the price now cos I want to buy that

0:01:270:01:30

for a tenner, to be honest with you.

0:01:300:01:32

At the last auction, Mark's biggest profit was a measly £12.50.

0:01:330:01:38

Oh!

0:01:380:01:40

Paul, however, enjoyed small,

0:01:400:01:42

steady profits to make him the winner by a whisker.

0:01:420:01:46

Cheers, buddy.

0:01:460:01:47

From his original £200, Mark Stacey has a portly £186.46

0:01:490:01:55

rattling around in his back pocket.

0:01:550:01:58

And just ahead by a nose is Paul Laidlaw.

0:01:580:02:01

He managed to add just under a tenner to his £200 kitty,

0:02:010:02:07

giving him £209.92 to spend.

0:02:070:02:10

-The first day of our second leg, Paul.

-Yeah!

0:02:110:02:14

I've got you in my sights.

0:02:140:02:16

I've got that £24 lead in my sights.

0:02:160:02:21

The 1967 Sunbeam Alpine GT is the chaps' vehicle of choice,

0:02:230:02:28

and sometimes she ain't as smooth as she could be.

0:02:280:02:31

RATTLING

0:02:310:02:33

That doesn't sound good, does it?

0:02:330:02:36

Mark and Paul will, one way or another,

0:02:380:02:41

travel over 300 miles from Sabden, Lancaster,

0:02:410:02:45

to Bridgwater, in Somerset.

0:02:450:02:47

And on today's show, we begin our shopping

0:02:470:02:49

mission in the village of Holywell Green, West Yorkshire.

0:02:490:02:53

And we'll auction in Cobridge, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

0:02:530:02:57

The boys are sharing their first shop of the day

0:02:590:03:02

in Barnyard Antiques.

0:03:020:03:03

Come on, stop gassing, we need to get in there.

0:03:030:03:06

Time is ticking.

0:03:060:03:07

Here's a tip, boys,

0:03:080:03:09

you're selling at a general auction that specialises in ceramics.

0:03:090:03:13

So, first to have a go is the ever-youthful Mark Stacey.

0:03:130:03:17

I have found this model of a collie dog.

0:03:230:03:26

You know, it's pottery.

0:03:260:03:28

Capstone pottery, and I've never heard of them.

0:03:280:03:31

It's priced at £15.

0:03:310:03:33

So, if we can get it for five or something,

0:03:330:03:36

that might be a possibility.

0:03:360:03:38

Well, Paul is also thinking ceramics.

0:03:410:03:45

Appears to be late 19th century

0:03:450:03:50

Austrian, Viennese porcelain.

0:03:500:03:53

Of its period.

0:03:530:03:56

A classical form to the urn,

0:03:560:03:59

but the prominent feature is a scantily-clad maiden.

0:03:590:04:04

But we turn it upside down and, yes,

0:04:040:04:07

we see the triangular pad mark

0:04:070:04:11

associated with Royal Dux.

0:04:110:04:14

But...at auction...

0:04:150:04:17

Price...£60.

0:04:190:04:23

And dealer Richard arrives to talk money.

0:04:240:04:27

Well, I'm just going to beg you, cos I don't want to waste your time.

0:04:280:04:31

I'll make you an offer and you can say, "No, it'll never happen."

0:04:310:04:34

I need to buy them for 20 quid.

0:04:340:04:36

-It needs to be more than that. I'd go to 40 quid.

-Nah.

0:04:370:04:42

I'll keep looking. You think about 20 quid.

0:04:420:04:45

But I'll keep looking.

0:04:450:04:47

I can't go to 40, I just... Bah!

0:04:470:04:49

We'll both do a bit of thinking and we'll come back.

0:04:510:04:54

Excellent, thanks very much.

0:04:540:04:56

Keep looking.

0:04:560:04:58

And it's not long before something else takes his eye.

0:04:580:05:01

Two vintage fishing reels.

0:05:040:05:07

Technically, they are centre pinned Nottingham wheels.

0:05:070:05:11

They could have been made anywhere, but they're decorative.

0:05:110:05:15

They're priced at 18 for the two.

0:05:150:05:20

If I could get those for a single-digit sum...

0:05:210:05:26

It's a big ask, but not a horrendous one.

0:05:260:05:29

I'm going to give that a go.

0:05:290:05:30

You know I'm going to be cheeky.

0:05:310:05:33

I'll try to be accommodative for everyone.

0:05:330:05:36

-Are they ever going to be 20 quid?

-I'll take 30 for them.

0:05:360:05:39

If I give you the 30 quid for them...

0:05:390:05:42

..can they be a pittance?

0:05:450:05:48

I could have 40 quid, I'd have to leave it at that.

0:05:480:05:52

I think I'm giving it to you as I am.

0:05:520:05:54

-Deal?

-You're a good man, good man.

0:05:580:06:01

So, £30 for the pair of the vases and ten pounds

0:06:010:06:04

for the fishing reels. It's a great start to the day, Paul.

0:06:040:06:07

Reel 'em in!

0:06:070:06:08

Finally, Mark gets a chance to speak with Richard.

0:06:080:06:12

-It's this.

-Oh, Lassie!

-Yeah.

0:06:120:06:16

I mean, you haven't got much on it anyway, but I think the price

0:06:160:06:19

that you've got on it, it's going to make that in the auction.

0:06:190:06:22

I've got to pay you a fiver for it, Richard.

0:06:220:06:25

I've got to, that's all I can pay for it.

0:06:260:06:29

Make it eight quid.

0:06:290:06:31

I tell you what, just could we go to seven?

0:06:310:06:34

OK, I've been fair with you both, then.

0:06:340:06:36

Lovely. Are you sure?

0:06:360:06:38

Thankfully, Mark has managed to buy something.

0:06:390:06:43

Well, you could say it's...interesting?

0:06:430:06:46

Seems Paul wants to spend, spend, spend today

0:06:460:06:49

because he's found something else.

0:06:490:06:51

-Riding crop?

-Yeah.

-For sale?

0:06:510:06:55

For a reasonable offer, yeah.

0:06:550:06:57

Can I have a look. Did it just come in?

0:06:570:07:00

Well, just one of my stalls, really.

0:07:000:07:04

I was going to do a bit more research on them before...

0:07:040:07:08

Quite right. Two Swaine and Adeney.

0:07:080:07:11

Swaine and Adeney were established in 1750

0:07:110:07:14

and were an exclusive London-based company

0:07:140:07:17

specialising in equestrian and leather goods.

0:07:170:07:20

Because they're relatively modern, late 20th century,

0:07:200:07:23

they are...they're usable.

0:07:230:07:26

-Can I just make you an offer?

-Yeah.

-40 quid.

0:07:260:07:31

You need to come a little bit more.

0:07:310:07:33

-I'll give you 50 quid.

-I think I've done well with you before.

0:07:350:07:38

And I think I'll have to stick at 60 quid.

0:07:380:07:42

-Meet me in the middle, fiver, 55.

-All right.

-Good man.

0:07:420:07:46

The first shop of the day has proved a mixed bag.

0:07:470:07:50

While Paul has splashed £95, Mark has spent

0:07:500:07:53

just seven pounds.

0:07:530:07:54

They're back on the road

0:07:540:07:56

and Paul is dropping Mark off five miles away in Sowerby Bridge.

0:07:560:08:00

The market town lies in the district of Calderdale

0:08:030:08:06

and is overlooked by Wainhouse Tower,

0:08:060:08:09

the tallest folly in the world.

0:08:090:08:12

Mark's visiting Bridge Antiques.

0:08:120:08:14

He's only spent seven pounds,

0:08:140:08:16

so will he spend more of the folding stuff in here?

0:08:160:08:20

-Hi, Mark, I'm Stan.

-Nice to meet you, Stan.

0:08:220:08:25

This is very vintage. This is very 1970s.

0:08:260:08:30

So, punch bowl, ladle and glasses.

0:08:300:08:33

So you could make your fruit cocktail punch in there

0:08:340:08:38

and then you come over with your glass, lift it up.

0:08:380:08:42

And pour it, either side actually, there is a little lip on both sides.

0:08:420:08:46

And I'm not sure how popular they are these days.

0:08:460:08:50

They are extremely fragile

0:08:500:08:53

and it is very unusual to find a whole set, actually.

0:08:530:08:56

No price, we might ask about that.

0:08:560:09:00

So, over to Stan to talk business.

0:09:010:09:03

Stan is holding the fort for the owner today.

0:09:030:09:06

-Do you know how much the punch set is?

-The punch set is £40.

0:09:060:09:10

£40, mmm...

0:09:100:09:12

Quite a fun set.

0:09:130:09:14

I have no idea what it would make in the saleroom.

0:09:140:09:18

Stan phones the owner to get the best price.

0:09:180:09:21

OK, very well, bye-bye.

0:09:210:09:23

-Yeah, so we will do it for 20.

-My God!

0:09:250:09:28

What have I done? I need a cocktail.

0:09:280:09:31

-Are you sure?

-Absolutely.

0:09:310:09:33

-Stan, thank you very much indeed.

-It's not a problem.

0:09:330:09:35

£20, how good is that?

0:09:350:09:37

It must be worth a go at £20, mustn't it?

0:09:370:09:40

You could say he's as pleased as punch with that buy.

0:09:400:09:44

I'm happy!

0:09:450:09:47

Paul, meanwhile, is on his way to Huddersfield.

0:09:490:09:52

Look at what Laidlaw has gone and done,

0:09:520:09:54

I've blown half my budget again!

0:09:540:09:56

With two more shots to go.

0:09:560:10:00

He who dares, wins.

0:10:000:10:01

That's the spirit, Paul!

0:10:010:10:04

Paul is visiting the Tolson Museum,

0:10:040:10:08

which houses collections on the history of Huddersfield.

0:10:080:10:11

He is meeting with Joanne Catlow to talk about the social

0:10:110:10:14

uprising of the Luddite movement.

0:10:140:10:17

Huddersfield has a strong link with radicalism and the museum has

0:10:170:10:22

a large exhibition dedicated to civil unrest.

0:10:220:10:26

Today, we often use the term Luddite to describe someone

0:10:280:10:31

who is stubbornly opposed to new technology.

0:10:310:10:34

But at the start of the 19th century,

0:10:340:10:37

the Luddites were mainly textile artisans who were fiercely

0:10:370:10:41

opposed to the new machinery that was going to replace their jobs

0:10:410:10:45

and make them destitute.

0:10:450:10:46

The museum has a model of the revolutionary shearing frame

0:10:470:10:52

that started the crisis.

0:10:520:10:53

A machine like this could do the work of five men.

0:10:530:10:57

Oh, my word, yeah.

0:10:570:10:58

An initial outlay for the mill owner,

0:10:580:11:00

but then you have got less workforce.

0:11:000:11:02

Yeah. Four men are going to be pretty upset...

0:11:020:11:06

-Absolutely.

-..at that prospect.

-Exactly.

0:11:060:11:09

-And so those four men were up in arms about this.

-Right.

0:11:090:11:13

-And wanted to get rid of this machinery...

-Yeah, sure.

0:11:130:11:16

..and so met in secret,

0:11:160:11:18

because it was illegal for groups of men to meet at that time.

0:11:180:11:21

-All right.

-Yeah, no trade unions.

0:11:210:11:24

They met in secret and planned their attacks on mills that had

0:11:240:11:28

-these type of shearing frames, to smash them.

-Right.

0:11:280:11:32

By 1812, the Industrial Revolution was gathering momentum

0:11:320:11:37

just as the attacks were increasing in and around Huddersfield.

0:11:370:11:42

Often they used these type of things.

0:11:420:11:44

It look like a hammer to me.

0:11:440:11:46

Your mill owners aren't going to take kindly to their new plant

0:11:460:11:50

-being smashed up.

-Not at all.

0:11:500:11:52

They did lots of things to defend themselves.

0:11:520:11:54

-Some people built barricades with cannons.

-Really?

0:11:540:11:58

And mill owners slept in their mills with the local militia.

0:11:580:12:02

In fact, they were so scared that they had 1,000 troops

0:12:020:12:06

-stationed in Huddersfield in 1812.

-Really?

0:12:060:12:10

The Luddites' fight for their livelihoods threatened social

0:12:100:12:14

harmony so much that the British government,

0:12:140:12:17

fearing revolution, committed more troops on the ground

0:12:170:12:20

in Yorkshire and Lancashire than they did in the field

0:12:200:12:23

against Napoleon.

0:12:230:12:24

The Luddites liked to use elements of surprise in their attacks.

0:12:240:12:30

That always worked.

0:12:300:12:31

A big, big attack on the mill

0:12:310:12:34

at Rawfolds near Cleckheaton,

0:12:340:12:37

where the mill owner was ready for them,

0:12:370:12:40

fired, two Luddites were killed

0:12:400:12:42

and that was the last big attack on their mill.

0:12:420:12:45

After that, they decided to attack the mill owners themselves.

0:12:450:12:49

Oh, my word.

0:12:490:12:50

And this sword was reputedly owned by William Horsfall,

0:12:500:12:55

-who was a local mill owner...

-Yeah.

0:12:550:12:57

..who had proudly stated that he would ride up

0:12:570:13:00

-to his saddle girth in Luddite blood.

-Bring it on.

0:13:000:13:04

Unfortunately for him, on his way home on 28th April, 1812,

0:13:040:13:09

he was ambushed and shot and killed.

0:13:090:13:12

And this was reputedly the sword he was carrying at the time.

0:13:120:13:15

It is down and dirty and really horrific, isn't it?

0:13:150:13:18

Because on either side, arguably,

0:13:180:13:19

there are parties fighting for their livelihood.

0:13:190:13:22

-That's right.

-The tensions are...

0:13:220:13:25

-It doesn't get any more important to you than that, does it?

-No.

0:13:250:13:28

Putting bread on the table.

0:13:280:13:30

So what is the upshot of this incident?

0:13:300:13:33

Well, after they had interrogated and rounded up a lot

0:13:330:13:36

of the suspected Luddites,

0:13:360:13:39

almost 70 of them that were put on trial at York Castle.

0:13:390:13:42

This is a pamphlet detailing the trial there.

0:13:420:13:46

Interestingly, the jury was all made of local landowners

0:13:460:13:51

and mill owners and magistrates.

0:13:510:13:54

-So really, they didn't really stand a chance.

-Good job.

0:13:540:13:57

In the end, three Luddites were convicted of the murder

0:13:570:14:03

of William Horsfall, the mill owner,

0:14:030:14:05

were sentenced to be hanged and dissected.

0:14:050:14:09

A few days later, 14 further Luddites were

0:14:090:14:13

sentenced to be hanged

0:14:130:14:15

for their party machine breaking and entering mills.

0:14:150:14:19

How big an incident is this within the scheme of the whole uprising?

0:14:190:14:23

The government wanted to quickly end this

0:14:230:14:26

because they were very scared of a revolution similar to France.

0:14:260:14:30

Oh, my word, of course.

0:14:300:14:32

That was a fascinating story, Joanne,

0:14:320:14:33

thanks very much for telling it to me.

0:14:330:14:35

-You are very welcome.

-Thank you.

0:14:350:14:37

While Paul has been having a lesson in social history,

0:14:400:14:42

Mark has travelled to the small town of Holmfirth, in West Yorkshire.

0:14:420:14:47

The town and the surrounding countryside is

0:14:490:14:51

the setting of the popular TV series Last Of The Summer Wine.

0:14:510:14:55

Hopefully, Mark won't bump into Nora Batty as he heads

0:14:570:15:01

for his last shop of the day.

0:15:010:15:02

-Hello.

-Hi, how are you? Rachel.

-Nice to meet you, Rachel.

0:15:050:15:08

-Nice to meet you.

-Right, tell me about this.

0:15:080:15:10

Well, we have got a bit of everything, really.

0:15:100:15:12

Just have a look around and see what you think.

0:15:120:15:14

I like a bit of everything. Darling, you and I are going to get on.

0:15:140:15:19

Nice wiggle, Mark, if you like that sort of thing.

0:15:190:15:22

Right, what have we got in here? Interesting.

0:15:330:15:35

Those are quite sweet, aren't they?

0:15:390:15:41

Little heart-shaped silver boxes for her lady to put her pills or

0:15:410:15:46

something like that in in her bag.

0:15:460:15:48

But there is a little bit of a problem with them.

0:15:480:15:51

When there's...

0:15:530:15:54

When you polish silver like this, it's quite thin.

0:15:540:15:58

And if you are over-vigorous with the silver polish, you can actually

0:15:580:16:02

wear the pattern away, and there is a little bit of wear on these two.

0:16:020:16:07

But they are only priced at £40 for the pair,

0:16:070:16:09

which is good because they're a cute shape, aren't they?

0:16:090:16:11

What would be the lowest on those?

0:16:110:16:14

Um...I've got 40 on them, they could be £30.

0:16:140:16:17

30. We couldn't get down to 25?

0:16:170:16:21

-Go on, then, 25.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, that's it.

0:16:210:16:24

-I mean, that's what they're worth about.

-Thank you.

0:16:240:16:27

Well, after such a packed day of shopping, it's time for the boys

0:16:290:16:32

to put their feet up. Nighty-night.

0:16:320:16:35

The chaps are up and at it,

0:16:390:16:40

rejuvenated after a good night's rest.

0:16:400:16:43

You just don't know what you get, though, do you, Paul?

0:16:430:16:46

-Yeah, that's it.

-You just don't know.

0:16:460:16:49

No matter what plan you have, it goes out that window.

0:16:490:16:52

It goes out that window.

0:16:520:16:54

So far, that cautious cat Mark has spent £52 on three

0:16:560:16:59

auction lots - the Staffordshire collie dog,

0:16:590:17:02

the 1970s punch bowl set and a pair of hard-shaped pillboxes,

0:17:020:17:07

leaving 134.46 for the day ahead.

0:17:070:17:11

Meanwhile, Paul has gone hell for leather

0:17:150:17:17

and spent £95 in one shop, buying a pair of vases,

0:17:170:17:21

two fishing reels and a whip and riding crop.

0:17:210:17:24

This antiques booty has left him with £114.92 in his kitty.

0:17:240:17:30

Paul and Mark have left Holmfirth and are travelling to

0:17:340:17:37

the town of Oldham, in Greater Manchester.

0:17:370:17:40

During the Industrial Revolution, Oldham was the most

0:17:400:17:44

productive cotton-spinning mill town in the world.

0:17:440:17:47

-Cheers.

-See you later, Paul. Bye.

0:17:470:17:51

Mark is very kindly dropping Paul off at his next shop,

0:17:520:17:56

but it is no ordinary shop.

0:17:560:17:58

RJ O'Brien & Son is a huge warehouse selling to both trade

0:17:580:18:03

and the public.

0:18:030:18:04

-Whoa! Hello there, hi.

-Morning.

-Paul Laidlaw.

-Ronan O'Brien.

0:18:040:18:07

Ronan, you're the man with the name!

0:18:070:18:08

-You're right!

-Hi, how are you doing?

-I'm OK.

0:18:080:18:12

-And this is it?

-This is it.

-Expansive.

0:18:120:18:15

Goodness, what a shop, I hope.

0:18:170:18:19

Blimey, I think we might be here for some time.

0:18:200:18:23

Ah. Hummel.

0:18:380:18:40

Utterly distinctive modelling and decoration.

0:18:410:18:44

Now, is it Hummel or a looky-likey?

0:18:440:18:48

Hummel. That's the name, that's what they're looking for.

0:18:480:18:52

The Hummel figurines are based on the drawings

0:18:520:18:56

of German nun Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel.

0:18:560:19:00

The figurines became popular souvenirs with American GIs

0:19:000:19:03

stationed in Germany after World War II.

0:19:030:19:07

I hate it, that would give me nightmares.

0:19:080:19:11

But...

0:19:110:19:12

..that's a seller.

0:19:140:19:15

I'm going to put that down there.

0:19:150:19:17

There's a lot of stuff in there. Holy Moses!

0:19:190:19:23

How much time have we got?

0:19:230:19:24

Maybe there is just too much to look at, Paul.

0:19:240:19:27

I'll see you in a moment. Bric-a-brac overload.

0:19:270:19:30

But he's found something that has really grabbed his attention.

0:19:300:19:35

I think I love this.

0:19:400:19:43

I'm looking at a tea set.

0:19:430:19:44

I like the form, OK?

0:19:440:19:46

Let me show you the form first of all, OK?

0:19:460:19:48

I'm going to shock you folks. Because you're going to go, "What?"

0:19:480:19:52

What do you see there?

0:19:540:19:55

Are they swastikas?

0:19:550:19:57

You are thinking, "Oh, my word, it's German."

0:19:570:20:00

And that is arguably an offensive symbol.

0:20:000:20:04

Not so in this context.

0:20:040:20:06

We're not looking at a swastika, no, rule that out.

0:20:060:20:09

We're looking at a hooked cross.

0:20:090:20:13

Before the Third Reich claimed the swastika, it was an ancient

0:20:130:20:17

symbol of good luck in many cultures around the world.

0:20:170:20:20

It certainly has got wow on its side.

0:20:200:20:24

I really, really rate that.

0:20:240:20:26

And he's not finished yet.

0:20:260:20:29

I've never seen one of these.

0:20:290:20:32

What's inside?

0:20:320:20:33

What I would call a trio, which is a cup, saucer and tea plate.

0:20:340:20:40

In isolation, what's it worth?

0:20:400:20:41

Five to ten pounds would be a good result.

0:20:410:20:44

In its box, I think it is transformed.

0:20:440:20:47

Worth £20, £30.

0:20:470:20:49

£40 if you really like it.

0:20:490:20:52

Paul now has three things on his shopping list.

0:20:520:20:55

But will owner Ronan deliver?

0:20:550:20:57

Can I have, please, the Hummel lamp, the trio, the tea for not quite six?

0:20:570:21:04

-Yes.

-Tenner a pop and be cheeky and say...

0:21:040:21:07

-I spotted that wee punter on the way past.

-Yep.

-You throw him in?

0:21:070:21:11

-Yeah, of course we will.

-Gentleman.

-No problem.

-Thanks.

0:21:110:21:15

The Hummel figurine is a cheeky freebie, that's

0:21:150:21:17

another big Laidlaw swoop as he scoops four items for £30.

0:21:170:21:23

Mark, meanwhile has travelled north to Ramsbottom,

0:21:230:21:26

in the Borough of Bury, 16 miles away.

0:21:260:21:29

And he is ready for a rummage in Memory's Antiques.

0:21:310:21:34

Oh, no!

0:21:380:21:40

Where am I going to start?

0:21:420:21:45

Cabinets, cabinets, cabinets, cabinets...

0:21:450:21:48

This might be some time. Hello, ladies.

0:21:480:21:51

-ALL: Hello.

-How are we all?

0:21:510:21:54

We are all very well, thank you, and you?

0:21:540:21:56

-I am very well.

-Good.

-I think.

0:21:560:21:58

-I'm Mavis.

-Hello, Mavis, Mark.

-Hello.

0:21:580:22:03

-We can be M and M.

-We could, couldn't we?

0:22:030:22:05

Somebody might eat us.

0:22:050:22:07

Be rather nice, wouldn't it?

0:22:070:22:10

It's going to be one of those days, you know, I can feel it.

0:22:100:22:14

I know what you mean.

0:22:150:22:18

Now, this is rather nice.

0:22:180:22:20

This little box looks like tortoiseshell

0:22:250:22:27

but it is actually plastic, otherwise known as faux.

0:22:270:22:31

It is a little ladies' dressing table set.

0:22:310:22:36

These are silver gilt.

0:22:360:22:37

So, a little powder pot, a little pill jar there,

0:22:370:22:40

little nail file and cuticle thing.

0:22:400:22:43

And I love little boxes, I love little outiles.

0:22:430:22:47

This one is Edwardian, I think.

0:22:470:22:49

It is probably going to be looking at the mark, early 1900s.

0:22:490:22:53

1905, 1908, so an antique item.

0:22:530:22:56

Paul will be impressed, won't he?

0:22:580:23:00

An antique, from me!

0:23:000:23:02

LID SQUEAKS

0:23:020:23:06

That is saying, "Buy me, buy me, buy me."

0:23:080:23:11

Oh, that's rather interesting.

0:23:150:23:17

This is antique.

0:23:190:23:21

This is a jug, maybe from a set of three.

0:23:210:23:24

I love this sort of octagonal shape. It is copper lustre.

0:23:240:23:29

And then they have applied these little panels on so they

0:23:290:23:34

cut the panels out and then apply them on and fire them.

0:23:340:23:37

Now, date. This is a genuine antique, I mean, a real antique.

0:23:370:23:41

Cos the date on this would be something like 1850, 1860.

0:23:410:23:47

So, we're looking at something that is 160 years old.

0:23:470:23:50

But completely out of fashion.

0:23:510:23:53

And today this is priced up at...

0:23:530:23:56

..eight pounds. I think that is an amazing value.

0:23:570:24:00

But it is not amazing enough, not for me to try to get in lower.

0:24:000:24:04

Time to talk money with Mavis.

0:24:060:24:08

The jug is priced at a modest eight pounds,

0:24:080:24:11

but I would love to get it if possible, for five pounds.

0:24:110:24:16

-I think that would be fine.

-Is that all right?

-Yes, that's fine.

0:24:210:24:25

Let's count that as sold.

0:24:250:24:27

I'm going to have that one.

0:24:270:24:28

This little box is charming.

0:24:280:24:32

The manicure box belongs to another dealer,

0:24:320:24:36

so Mavis had a word with them about the price.

0:24:360:24:40

She thinks she would let it go at 60.

0:24:400:24:42

-60.

-Is that any use to you?

0:24:420:24:46

Is there any chance we could get nearer 50?

0:24:460:24:49

-If that was at all possible.

-I think she will be happy with 50.

0:24:490:24:53

-Are you sure?

-Yes, I'm sure she would.

0:24:530:24:55

Because, honestly, I don't know what it's going to do.

0:24:550:24:58

-She'd be happy with 50.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

0:24:580:24:59

Then, Mavis, you have done a wonderful job for me.

0:24:590:25:02

-Thank you so much.

-You're welcome.

0:25:020:25:03

With his shopping done, Mark heads ten miles south to Rochdale.

0:25:030:25:08

Oh, wow.

0:25:110:25:12

Mark is visiting Greater Manchester Fire Service Museum.

0:25:120:25:16

Housed in a former fire engine workshop,

0:25:160:25:18

the museum was opened in 1983 to the public.

0:25:180:25:22

The collection tells the story of the proud achievements

0:25:220:25:24

and development of the Greater Manchester Fire Brigades.

0:25:240:25:28

Mark is meeting with Bob Bonner, retired fireman

0:25:280:25:31

and volunteer at the museum.

0:25:310:25:33

-Hello, I'm Mark.

-Hello. Welcome to the Fire Service Museum, I'm Bob.

0:25:340:25:38

The early 1800s hailed the beginning of the municipal fire service.

0:25:390:25:43

Prior to this,

0:25:430:25:45

fire services were only available to those who could afford insurance.

0:25:450:25:50

In the 1860s, Alfred Tozer arrived from London

0:25:500:25:54

to organise the fire service in Manchester

0:25:540:25:56

and developed one of the finest in the country.

0:25:560:26:00

As a result, thousands of lives have been saved.

0:26:000:26:04

Tozer began a dynasty of fire chiefs that continues to this day.

0:26:050:26:10

In the early days, firemen had to work

0:26:100:26:12

with some pretty primitive equipment.

0:26:120:26:14

We are going to have a look now

0:26:140:26:16

at what the earliest kind of fire engines looked like,

0:26:160:26:18

which were known as manual fire pumps. The clue is in the name.

0:26:180:26:21

They were manually operated by firefighters

0:26:210:26:24

and willing volunteers who would help them.

0:26:240:26:26

This is very typical of a small manual fire engine.

0:26:260:26:29

What age is this?

0:26:290:26:30

This is a typical mid-19th century one,

0:26:300:26:33

which was built by Tilley of London in 1847.

0:26:330:26:36

-Wow, it's that old?

-Yes.

0:26:360:26:37

I mean, looking at it as a layman,

0:26:370:26:40

how on earth can a cart help you fight a fire?

0:26:400:26:43

Well, inside the cart, is a fire pump, an iron fire pump.

0:26:430:26:46

The whole thing is just a wooden cart, as you say,

0:26:460:26:49

and the bottom part of it is known as a cistern, so that holds water.

0:26:490:26:52

It must be filled first before the fire engine will do anything.

0:26:520:26:56

So, water's poured into there from buckets

0:26:560:26:58

and sat inside the bottom of the fire engine is this fire pump...

0:26:580:27:02

-Oh, right.

-..which is then worked by the mechanism.

-You grab that end.

0:27:020:27:06

-So the firemen and the helpers would be pumping furiously like this.

-Yep.

0:27:060:27:11

And then something will be plugged onto this.

0:27:110:27:13

The hose pipe would be connected to the outwards and as we pump,

0:27:130:27:16

the water goes up the hose, back to the firefighter at the end.

0:27:160:27:19

As you are doing all of this,

0:27:190:27:21

you have then got a team of other helpers

0:27:210:27:24

who are filling that water all the time.

0:27:240:27:26

Yes, you continually need to keep it filled

0:27:260:27:29

unless it's set into a river or something.

0:27:290:27:31

But normally, you need a bucket changer to work very quickly

0:27:310:27:34

-to keep it supplied.

-Yeah, because... Yeah.

0:27:340:27:36

Because even doing this, you can feel it's really working.

0:27:360:27:39

-You would empty it very quickly.

-Yeah, you would. You can see that.

0:27:390:27:42

It's very efficient.

0:27:420:27:44

Lovely, that's my exercise for the day.

0:27:440:27:48

Who needs a gym? You just buy a fire pump.

0:27:480:27:51

Mark has spotted a pretty intriguing piece of wood.

0:27:530:27:56

What on earth is a mahogany door doing in the middle of this?

0:27:560:27:59

Isn't that a beautiful door? Very, very fond of that.

0:27:590:28:01

There is a very good reason why a door would be that shape.

0:28:010:28:04

Because behind that door is a hole in the floor.

0:28:040:28:08

Passing through the hole in the floor is the sliding pole.

0:28:080:28:12

So this is the way the firemen got from upstairs to downstairs

0:28:120:28:15

when there was a fire call.

0:28:150:28:17

So this is... This would've been completely open?

0:28:170:28:19

Completely open, you'd be looking down now onto the roof

0:28:190:28:22

of a fire engine.

0:28:220:28:23

You heard the bell and you just went instinctively.

0:28:230:28:25

-You don't jump, you grip it and slide.

-Grip it and slide.

0:28:250:28:29

This looks like I'm pole dancing.

0:28:290:28:32

And down you go.

0:28:330:28:34

And down you go. But how tall would this...?

0:28:340:28:37

This particular pole was in this building,

0:28:370:28:39

which was four storeys high.

0:28:390:28:41

-Oh.

-Most of them go down from one floor to the next floor.

-Wow.

0:28:410:28:45

The thing to remember with the firemen's pole is that

0:28:450:28:47

when you land at the bottom,

0:28:470:28:48

to run away quickly, else you'll have five more firemen on your head.

0:28:480:28:51

Yes. Well, I think that is amazing. I just love the door.

0:28:510:28:55

-Gorgeous door, isn't it?

-That...

0:28:550:28:58

I thought it was a library, a secret door.

0:28:580:29:00

That's wonderful, isn't it?

0:29:000:29:02

-Thank you very much for coming.

-You have been very entertaining.

0:29:040:29:07

-Lovely. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to have met you.

0:29:070:29:09

Good luck with the fund-raising.

0:29:090:29:11

-Yes, fingers crossed. Thank you.

-Bye-bye.

-Bye now.

0:29:110:29:14

It is now time for the boys to meet up with one another

0:29:140:29:17

and have a gander at their antiques booty.

0:29:170:29:19

-I don't believe it!

-Yeah.

0:29:210:29:25

There's certainly one thing - I would have never put Paul Laidlaw

0:29:250:29:28

and Hummel figures together in my life.

0:29:280:29:31

I am sorry, Paul, I'm going to have to...

0:29:310:29:34

Because I really don't believe this. I really don't believe this.

0:29:340:29:38

Oh, yes, it's marked West Germany.

0:29:380:29:41

-But it's a great find!

-It's everything there.

0:29:410:29:45

You simply can't go wrong, honestly.

0:29:450:29:47

Ten.

0:29:470:29:48

-For the two? Oh, that's cheap.

-Should be fine, shouldn't it?

0:29:480:29:51

-There's so much the falls in that category.

-Yes.

0:29:510:29:55

-Reproduction Royal Dux.

-But they are a pair and they're decorative.

0:29:550:30:01

You are being so kind.

0:30:010:30:04

There are large and they are a pair.

0:30:040:30:08

Well, listen, I don't...

0:30:100:30:12

I really don't know, this one.

0:30:120:30:14

I mean, I'm going to go, obviously,

0:30:140:30:16

for the - shall I say? - quality item.

0:30:160:30:19

-Whip and the crop.

-Nicely silver mounted there.

-Yep.

0:30:190:30:23

The most prestigious of retailers' makers.

0:30:230:30:27

-Swaine and Adeney, by appointment to HM.

-Oh.

0:30:270:30:33

-It depends what you paid for them.

-55.

-For the pair?

-Yeah.

0:30:330:30:36

That's cheap! Well, I congratulate you, Paul.

0:30:360:30:39

-I mean, you've shocked me here.

-I shocked myself,

0:30:390:30:41

believe me. Show me what you've bought.

0:30:410:30:44

I'm not sure you're ready for this.

0:30:440:30:46

I don't feel dirty.

0:30:460:30:48

But I am going to be very careful here, Paul,

0:30:490:30:52

because there is quite a bit.

0:30:520:30:54

-Explain.

-Well, that was my first purchase.

0:30:540:30:58

Look, I'm not going to pretend it's anything special, Paul,

0:30:580:31:00

but it was seven pounds.

0:31:000:31:01

-In the market we're going to...

-I know why you did it.

0:31:010:31:05

15 quid, 20 if you are lucky.

0:31:050:31:07

-Yeah.

-The jug, I wanted to get something antique.

0:31:070:31:11

It is a copper lustre jug.

0:31:110:31:13

I love the little spout, it's like a lion's had.

0:31:130:31:17

-OK, yeah, but it's damaged.

-There is a crack.

0:31:170:31:19

There is a crack in it.

0:31:190:31:21

-That was single-digit.

-Five quid.

-OK, fair enough.

-This I love.

0:31:220:31:27

-Yeah.

-I love it.

-OK.

-It was only 20 quid.

0:31:270:31:31

-For the lot. This was my really big purchase.

-OK.

0:31:310:31:36

-Silver guilt.

-Hallmarked on the hinges.

-Yeah, I see that.

0:31:380:31:43

-And I've actually cataloged it as faux tortoiseshell.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:31:430:31:48

-What did you pay for it?

-50.

0:31:480:31:50

-Seems all right.

-This is too close to call.

0:31:500:31:53

-I'm liking your work. This is going to be good, isn't it?

-I think so.

0:31:530:31:57

-Roll on the auction.

-Yeah.

-Well done.

-Roll on the drinkies.

0:31:570:32:00

-I'm off, are you coming?

-Yeah, come on, let's do that.

0:32:000:32:04

But what do they really think?

0:32:040:32:06

Who is going to win? Please, make it be me.

0:32:060:32:09

The jug, that's landfill, isn't it?

0:32:090:32:13

It is got a whopping big crack in it!

0:32:130:32:15

Please let it be me!

0:32:150:32:17

It has been an exciting second day, travelling from Holywell Green

0:32:200:32:25

by Sowerby Bridge, Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Oldham, Ramsbottom,

0:32:250:32:30

Rochdale to Cobridge, in Stoke-on-Trent,

0:32:300:32:33

the venue of today's auction.

0:32:330:32:37

Are you ready? Is this a crash and burn or...fortunes made?

0:32:370:32:42

This is it, come on, let's get in, shall we?

0:32:420:32:45

ASH Auctions has been established

0:32:450:32:49

since 1994 and hold weekly general sales.

0:32:490:32:53

Lee Sherratt is proprietor and auctioneer for today's proceedings

0:32:530:32:58

and he has a few thoughts on the chaps' wares.

0:32:580:33:01

My favourite item is the tortoiseshell and manicure set.

0:33:010:33:05

I'm sure it will sell well.

0:33:050:33:07

Is there anything I really don't like?

0:33:070:33:09

Um, the punch bowl.

0:33:090:33:12

They don't seem to realise a good price, really.

0:33:120:33:15

Mark Stacey started today's show with £186.43

0:33:170:33:22

and spent £107 on five lots.

0:33:220:33:24

Paul Laidlaw began with £209.92

0:33:280:33:31

and spent £125 also on five lots.

0:33:310:33:34

Oh, where are they?

0:33:370:33:39

Oh, yes, there they are, look.

0:33:390:33:41

First up, it's Mark's retro-style punch bowl set.

0:33:420:33:47

Big enough to drown your sorrows in, that.

0:33:470:33:49

Yeah, it is, I might need to.

0:33:490:33:51

Bid me on that little lot there, shall we say 25?

0:33:530:33:56

25, the punch set there?

0:33:560:33:57

25? 20? Get me somebody. Start me off. £15 for it.

0:33:570:34:01

-£15.

0:34:340:34:38

0:34:380:34:39

-£34.

-Good result.

-That is a £14 profit.

0:34:400:34:46

Get in!

0:34:460:34:48

Well, who would've thought it? A nice profit from the get go, Mark.

0:34:480:34:52

MARK SIGHS

0:34:520:34:55

It's going well.

0:34:550:34:57

Don't relax too soon,

0:35:000:35:02

Mark, it is your 19th-century jug with the hairline crack next.

0:35:020:35:07

Nice jug there, 15 for it. Ten for it quickly, let's get it going.

0:35:160:35:20

Sell it for ten, first maiden bed.

0:35:200:35:22

I've doubled my money, I can't really argue with that.

0:35:220:35:27

So far, so good, Mark.

0:35:270:35:29

You are on a roll, Stinky!

0:35:290:35:31

It is Paul's two Victorian fishing reels next.

0:35:310:35:35

Can he reel in a corker of a profit?

0:35:350:35:38

Shall we say £20 for two fishing reels there?

0:35:380:35:42

Who's going to bid me? Come on, only ten. Ten on bid.

0:35:420:35:44

At £50.

0:36:090:36:10

I can't believe it, Paul.

0:36:100:36:12

I'll do that all day long. Relief!

0:36:120:36:14

Well, he certainly did. Great start, Paul.

0:36:140:36:18

I'm just going to go home.

0:36:180:36:20

Oh, come on, Mark, it's early days.

0:36:200:36:22

It's Paul again with the Hummel lamp and figurine.

0:36:220:36:27

0:36:480:36:50

Is it 40 on the phone? 40 I'm bid.

0:36:500:36:52

0:36:520:36:54

Are you saying no? At £44.

0:36:540:36:56

-Anybody else?

-Selling on the phone at £44.

0:36:560:37:00

Another hefty profit for Paul. Good steady work, Mr Laidlaw.

0:37:010:37:06

Paul is on again with these Royal Dux-style vases.

0:37:060:37:11

Come on, where are we going to start? Give me £30.

0:37:110:37:13

0:37:240:37:27

£70, on the right-hand side at £70.

0:37:270:37:29

At £70, sells, then, at 70 for the pair.

0:37:290:37:32

What a lovely pair, as they say,

0:37:330:37:35

and even better, it is yet another sizable profit for Paul.

0:37:350:37:39

-£70 is quite a lot for those.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:37:390:37:43

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:37:440:37:45

Now, Mark, can your pottery doggie help you claim some lovely profit?

0:37:450:37:50

-Fingers crossed.

-Three, five, ten pound.

0:37:500:37:53

Somebody quickly at ten. On the phone, at ten.

0:37:530:37:55

12 all over the place. 12 on bid against you. 14 if you want it.

0:37:550:37:58

-That's all right.

-Decent, yeah.

0:38:150:38:19

Are we all finished?

0:38:190:38:20

Well, Lassie really did come home with a profit.

0:38:220:38:25

It's definitely game on between these two chaps.

0:38:250:38:28

Get in, well done!

0:38:280:38:30

We are back with Paul.

0:38:300:38:31

He has combined the 1920s tea set

0:38:310:38:34

and the King Edward VIII coronation collection into one china lot.

0:38:340:38:39

Unusual decoration on this, ladies and gentlemen.

0:38:390:38:41

Unusual decoration, that's where it is.

0:38:410:38:44

Come on, let's start the bidding. Ten pounds the lot.

0:38:440:38:46

Unusual lot here. Ten I'm bid. 12 I'm bid.

0:38:520:38:54

At £20.

0:38:540:38:56

-You were right.

-Sorry.

0:38:560:39:00

Oh, dear, not the figure you were hoping for, Paul.

0:39:000:39:04

It's Mark's pretty faux tortoiseshell manicure box next.

0:39:040:39:09

Come on, it needs to be sold. £20 to get on.

0:39:090:39:11

£20, we're off. 20 bid now. 25. 25 on the right.

0:39:110:39:14

Decent bid increments as well.

0:39:140:39:17

0:39:170:39:21

40 bid now. At 45.

0:39:210:39:22

In the room it goes, no mistake. At £40.

0:39:220:39:26

Mark's not wearing a happy face for that result.

0:39:270:39:31

-I mean, that was a steal for 40.

-Yeah.

0:39:310:39:34

It's Paul's last lot of the day, the exclusive riding crop and whip.

0:39:340:39:40

£20 I'm bid. Where's five?

0:39:400:39:43

0:39:470:39:50

55. 60. 65 there. Bethany's bidding. 70.

0:39:500:39:54

Oh, and we have a very keen young lady bidding here.

0:39:540:39:57

I bet she's got a horse.

0:39:570:39:59

100 on Glenn's phone. 105.

0:39:590:40:01

She's still there at 105.

0:40:010:40:03

110. With you at 110.

0:40:030:40:05

115. 120, is it, yes or no?

0:40:050:40:08

120, is it, yes or no? 120, yes.

0:40:080:40:11

125 in the room.

0:40:110:40:12

125 is bid. 130?

0:40:120:40:15

125, is it 130, yes or no?

0:40:150:40:17

30. At 130. It's on Glenn at five.

0:40:170:40:20

At 135. At 135, it is with Bethany's bid at 140.

0:40:200:40:24

At 140 bid. At 145.

0:40:240:40:27

At 145. Can I see 150? 145. It's in the room at 145.

0:40:270:40:32

Once. 50. At 150.

0:40:320:40:35

150. She's still there. At 155.

0:40:350:40:38

At 155 against Glenn's phone. 160.

0:40:380:40:41

160. 165. 165.

0:40:410:40:44

165. 170. 165. 170.

0:40:440:40:48

The phone is now out. At 165, it is with you, Bethany, at 165.

0:40:480:40:52

At 165 once.

0:40:520:40:54

165 twice.

0:40:540:40:56

A third and final time at £165.

0:40:560:41:00

£165. 482.

0:41:000:41:04

Put your hands together, ladies and gents, to the little bidder.

0:41:040:41:08

My goodness, Paul, the biggest profit of the day

0:41:080:41:11

so far, thanks to the determined young lady.

0:41:110:41:14

Giddy-up!

0:41:140:41:15

I'll buy you a drink, you'll be better tomorrow morning.

0:41:150:41:18

Yeah, as well.

0:41:180:41:19

I might need a bottle.

0:41:190:41:21

Don't lose heart, Mark, you have one last item left.

0:41:240:41:27

It is the pair of pillboxes.

0:41:270:41:30

I hope that I might not need to take a pill after this sells.

0:41:300:41:34

What shall we say for the two of those?

0:41:340:41:36

-35.

-On commission, straight off at £35.

0:41:360:41:40

Oh, it was £50 profit.

0:41:400:41:42

-At £35. Can I see 40? £40 bid. 45.

-I'm out.

0:41:420:41:46

£40 sitting in the front row, at £40. Can I see five for the two?

0:41:460:41:50

At £40, I'm going to sell then.

0:41:500:41:51

-At £40.

-Oh, well.

-That went over all right.

0:41:510:41:55

It's not the biggie profit he needed,

0:41:550:41:58

but it is better than nothing.

0:41:580:42:00

-Jolly well done.

-Thanks. Let's have a wee drinky on me.

0:42:000:42:04

Come on. Let's have a wee drink on you.

0:42:040:42:08

Let's find out who today's winner is.

0:42:080:42:10

Mark started this leg with £186.46

0:42:130:42:17

and after paying auction costs,

0:42:170:42:19

made a small profit of £24.20,

0:42:190:42:22

leaving him with a respectable £210.66 to carry forward.

0:42:220:42:28

But there is no stopping Paul.

0:42:310:42:33

He began with £209.92 and after costs,

0:42:330:42:36

made a bumper £161.18 profit.

0:42:360:42:40

So that leaves him with a delightful £371.10 to spend next time.

0:42:400:42:46

And makes him today's winner. Well done.

0:42:460:42:49

Cheers, buddy. Can I say it? Ye of little faith, but it delivered.

0:42:510:42:55

For you.

0:42:550:42:56

Oh, dear.
