Welcome to the programme that takes treasure hunting out of the world of fiction and makes it a reality

0:00:020:00:05

as we hunt for gems in the homes of people that we can take to auction

0:00:050:00:09

and hopefully make a tidy sum for their owners,

0:00:090:00:12

because you just never know what you're going to find

0:00:120:00:14

when you start to rummage on Cash In The Attic.

0:00:140:00:17

Coming up on Cash In The Attic,

0:00:380:00:40

we go large with a stunning piece of Carlton Ware.

0:00:400:00:44

Flipping 'eck, Jack!

0:00:440:00:46

That's a bit big for your cornflakes in the morning, isn't it?

0:00:460:00:49

And we downsize with some Royal Doulton Toby jugs.

0:00:490:00:51

Unless my eyes deceive me, I have to say that what I'm looking at here

0:00:510:00:55

has to be the smallest Toby jug I've ever, ever seen!

0:00:550:00:58

I have to agree with you, he certainly is!

0:00:580:01:00

But will the bidders have a healthy appetite for our collectables come auction day?

0:01:000:01:05

£420. 450, new man.

0:01:050:01:07

-450!

-500!

0:01:070:01:10

Find out as the hammer falls.

0:01:100:01:13

Today I'm in the Yorkshire Dales at the village of Colburn

0:01:150:01:18

and I'm about to meet a man

0:01:180:01:20

who has a talent for building,

0:01:200:01:22

a passion for his local football team, and a really big heart.

0:01:220:01:26

80-year-old football fanatic Jack Elliott

0:01:260:01:30

began an apprenticeship in carpentry when he was just 14

0:01:300:01:33

and over the years he added building, architecture and teaching to his list of qualifications.

0:01:330:01:38

He met the love of his life, Joyce, when he was 17,

0:01:380:01:43

they enjoyed the next 60 years together, and have four children.

0:01:430:01:47

In 1984 Jack put all his handiwork skills to the test

0:01:470:01:52

when he single-handedly built their dream home in North Yorkshire.

0:01:520:01:56

He even landscaped the garden himself.

0:01:560:01:58

Sadly, Joyce passed away three years ago

0:01:580:02:01

and Jack has decided that the time has come for a bit of a clear out.

0:02:010:02:04

His daughters Ruth and Lynne are in to help,

0:02:040:02:07

as is the Cash In The Attic team.

0:02:070:02:09

Jack and your two daughters, Lynne and Ruth,

0:02:100:02:13

are you thinking of going fishing?

0:02:130:02:16

-We could do that here!

-You made this pond, didn't you, Jack?

0:02:160:02:20

-Yeah.

-And behind you, the house that Jack built.

0:02:200:02:23

It is indeed.

0:02:230:02:24

You're something of a master craftsman, I'm told.

0:02:240:02:26

Some people think so.

0:02:260:02:29

Now, why did you call in Cash In The Attic, Jack?

0:02:290:02:31

Because I thought it was a good idea to put something back

0:02:310:02:34

into all the different groups that brought my wife and I happiness.

0:02:340:02:38

-And how much do you think that's going to take?

-About £800.

0:02:380:02:41

-So you're something of a collector then, Jack?

-Well, I have been.

0:02:410:02:45

-Ah, yes, I think...

-I would say so!

-I would say so, yeah!

0:02:450:02:48

A lot of dusting to do.

0:02:480:02:50

Well, it sounds as if you've got a house full of stuff in there,

0:02:500:02:52

and I tell you who else is there at the moment, I didn't just come myself,

0:02:520:02:56

I brought Jonty Hearnden with me, who knows a thing or two about collectables.

0:02:560:03:00

-So, shall we go into the house and find him and see what he's come across?

-Definitely.

0:03:000:03:05

Now, his daughters did say there are plenty of items in the house

0:03:050:03:08

that need dusting, and they're not wrong!

0:03:080:03:12

Every shelf is crammed full of them.

0:03:120:03:14

Now, this is good news for us and I know that our expert

0:03:140:03:17

is going to be delighted to see such a wealth of goodies.

0:03:170:03:20

-There you go. Hi, Jonty!

-Hi.

0:03:200:03:22

-Look at this.

-Flipping 'eck, Jack!

0:03:220:03:24

That's a bit big for your cornflakes in the morning!

0:03:240:03:27

It is.

0:03:270:03:29

-Whatever made you buy that?

-Well, I thought my wife would like it

0:03:290:03:33

and I bought it specially for a special present for her.

0:03:330:03:36

Did you? Why did you think she might like it?

0:03:360:03:39

Because she's actually steeped in history and I'd already bought

0:03:390:03:42

Toby jugs with King Henry and his six wives

0:03:420:03:44

and I thought this would match that quite nicely.

0:03:440:03:47

You're absolutely right. It's absolutely stunning,

0:03:470:03:50

but the great thing about this punchbowl, is the fact that it's

0:03:500:03:55

a limited edition bowl and if we look at the information on the underside,

0:03:550:03:59

because all the information is here,

0:03:590:04:01

is that this bowl is one of 250, and this is number 18,

0:04:010:04:05

but the great news is that this bowl was made by Carlton Ware,

0:04:050:04:09

and Carlton Ware are highly desirable, very collectable,

0:04:090:04:13

so that's incredibly good news for us.

0:04:130:04:15

The most important thing to really appreciate about this

0:04:150:04:19

is that all the decoration,

0:04:190:04:20

all the coloured decoration on this bowl would all be hand done,

0:04:200:04:24

so there's an awful lot of detail.

0:04:240:04:25

I mean, just look at the great man himself.

0:04:250:04:28

Look at all the detailing there.

0:04:280:04:29

You bought this at auction, didn't you, Jack? How much did you pay?

0:04:290:04:32

I paid £500 and I thought that it was worth every penny

0:04:320:04:37

because my wife would really adore it.

0:04:370:04:39

It's such a lovely thing that you've said that,

0:04:390:04:41

but at auction I would say something like £300 to £400.

0:04:410:04:44

Let's go and see what we can add to it to take to auction.

0:04:440:04:47

Come on, Jack. Follow me.

0:04:470:04:49

Ruth has started her search in the kitchen and she digs out a really pretty porcelain bowl

0:04:490:04:54

that she remembers once belonging to Jack's Aunt Nellie.

0:04:540:04:57

It was made in France by Sampson of Paris

0:04:570:05:00

and is in the Chinese famille rose style.

0:05:000:05:04

Jonty thinks the bidders will be happy to pay upwards of £60

0:05:040:05:08

for this quite charming piece.

0:05:080:05:10

-Ah, there you are, Lynne.

-Oh, hello.

0:05:100:05:12

An amazing collection we've got here.

0:05:120:05:14

-It is, yeah.

-So how was this collection accumulated?

0:05:140:05:18

My mum took a liking to Toby jugs quite a long, long time ago

0:05:180:05:23

and any time they saw a Toby jug my dad would buy it for her.

0:05:230:05:26

-Some people get diamond and jewels...

-My mum got Toby jugs, yeah!

0:05:260:05:29

But I think it's charming. It sounds like your dad all over.

0:05:290:05:33

-It does, yeah. Indeed.

-Now, Lynne, unless my eyes deceive me,

0:05:330:05:36

what I'm looking at here has to be

0:05:360:05:38

the smallest Toby jug I've ever, ever seen!

0:05:380:05:41

I think he certainly is!

0:05:410:05:42

To be truthful, my dad would probably like to keep hold of that

0:05:420:05:46

because it is pretty special.

0:05:460:05:48

So, as far as value is concerned

0:05:480:05:50

I think the star items have to be Henry VIII and his six wives.

0:05:500:05:53

-Oh, I think so, I think so.

-They...

0:05:530:05:55

You know, somebody will really want those,

0:05:550:05:58

so, be it a collector or a dealer, that's a definite.

0:05:580:06:01

Right.

0:06:010:06:02

But as a collection we're looking

0:06:020:06:04

roughly between £250 and £350.

0:06:040:06:07

-OK.

-And hopefully a lot more than that.

-That would be good.

0:06:070:06:10

But will the bidders be fighting over those Toby jugs at auction?

0:06:100:06:14

We've got a really determined bidder at the back of the room here, Jack.

0:06:140:06:18

90. Five. 100.

0:06:180:06:20

Only time will tell.

0:06:200:06:22

Jack continues our rummage in the bedroom.

0:06:220:06:25

He pulls four framed landscapes

0:06:250:06:27

by the artist B Ward from the back of a wardrobe.

0:06:270:06:31

Jonty values them at £50 to £70.

0:06:310:06:35

We're off to a really good start here

0:06:370:06:39

in North Yorkshire in Jack's delightful home.

0:06:390:06:41

and there's lots of evidence around to show just how football mad he is.

0:06:410:06:48

Well, that's a nice thing to have, Jack,

0:06:500:06:52

"Colburn Town Football Club 2008-2009, Club Man, Jack Elliott."

0:06:520:06:58

-That's me!

-And another three to go with it.

-Certainly, yeah.

0:06:580:07:02

-So this is THE football team, is it?

-This is the football team, yes.

0:07:020:07:05

-You are passionate about football, aren't you?

-I certainly am.

0:07:050:07:09

-So how did that start?

-I've always had an interest in football

0:07:090:07:13

and I think now I've been watching or playing football for 69 years.

0:07:130:07:17

Good heavens above! You met your wife playing footie, didn't you?

0:07:170:07:21

I certainly did. When I was about 18 I was selected to play

0:07:210:07:25

for the Under-18s in the district.

0:07:250:07:27

The first game, and I was playing on the wing when this girl was on

0:07:270:07:32

the touchline, and at the end of the match she asked me

0:07:320:07:36

-if I wanted to go to the cinema.

-She dated you, then?

0:07:360:07:40

She certainly did. It carried on for about three years and then we

0:07:400:07:44

got married and we were married for 55 years before I lost her.

0:07:440:07:47

I'm sure Joyce will be with us on the day we go to auction, making sure we get really good prices

0:07:470:07:52

for everything that goes under the hammer.

0:07:520:07:55

-Shall we find Jonty and see what else he's found for us?

-Certainly.

0:07:550:07:58

Whilst we've been chatting, Jonty continued his search.

0:07:580:08:01

He spots a bookshelf

0:08:010:08:03

filled with a complete set of The Encyclopaedia Britannica.

0:08:030:08:06

They date from the 1880s

0:08:060:08:07

Jonty thinks that this set of 35 volumes, complete with original bookshelf,

0:08:070:08:12

deserves to make upwards of £40 to £60 at auction.

0:08:120:08:16

Jack has dug out an army belt which used to belong to his uncle who fought in the First World War.

0:08:200:08:25

It's not in great condition, but Jonty thinks it's real value

0:08:250:08:29

is in the cap badges that are attached and values them at £30-£40.

0:08:290:08:33

Ah, Ruth?

0:08:370:08:38

-Yeah?

-I think I've found some buried treasure.

-Oh, wow!

0:08:380:08:41

I remember that. My father bought it about 30 years or more ago.

0:08:410:08:46

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:08:460:08:47

It's a fob chain, although at the end of it,

0:08:470:08:49

rather than having a pocket watch...

0:08:490:08:51

-Yeah.

-..we have a beautiful little sovereign holder.

0:08:510:08:54

So, inside we have this lovely gold sovereign, Queen Victoria's head on it.

0:08:540:09:00

And we should have a date on there. 1889. There we go.

0:09:000:09:02

Oh, wow! I didn't realise it was that old.

0:09:020:09:04

But not only have we got a gold-plated sovereign holder,

0:09:040:09:09

-but this is a lovely, solid, nine carat gold fob chain.

-Oh, really?

0:09:090:09:14

And every single link is marked to prove that it's gold.

0:09:140:09:17

-Great. Fantastic.

-Now, as far as value is concerned I think if we aimed at a low figure

0:09:170:09:21

we're going to get everyone frothing at the mouth

0:09:210:09:24

wanting to buy the gold, so it's a question of pitching it right.

0:09:240:09:27

-I think if we go in as low as £120 to £150...

-OK.

0:09:270:09:31

..then we should maybe even get up to £200 quite easily.

0:09:310:09:35

-Oh, OK. That'd be good.

-You happy about that?

0:09:350:09:37

Yeah. Might not put a smile on Queen Victoria's face, but it will on mine.

0:09:370:09:41

-Excellent. OK, let's carry on.

-Yeah, great.

0:09:410:09:43

Jack's cupboards are filled with items that he no longer uses,

0:09:430:09:48

like this old camera.

0:09:480:09:50

In fact, it's just one of many that he bought when he was planning to take up photography.

0:09:500:09:55

So they're off to auction with a £20 to £30 price tag.

0:09:550:09:58

Ruth has discovered

0:10:000:10:03

a very fine gold pocket watch that was made by Thomas Russell and son.

0:10:030:10:07

There are four more that Jack's collected over the years.

0:10:070:10:12

Jonty's very impressed

0:10:120:10:15

and thinks we'll easily reach his £250 to £350 estimate.

0:10:150:10:19

Jonty, are you busy for a minute? Can you take a look at this?

0:10:190:10:23

-Oh, look at that.

-Yeah.

0:10:230:10:25

Now, let's have a look. Can I have a look at this first of all?

0:10:250:10:27

Because this looks very interesting, here.

0:10:270:10:30

This is a German engine.

0:10:300:10:32

And Lima were known for making very unusual train sets.

0:10:320:10:37

If you think about it, how commercial is a German diesel engine in Britain?

0:10:370:10:42

-I don't think very commercial at all.

-I mean, we all know about Hornby.

0:10:420:10:46

-Yes.

-Because Hornby of course made famous train sets, didn't they?

0:10:460:10:50

Well, where market leaders go of course other people follow

0:10:500:10:54

and Lima was a follower.

0:10:540:10:55

They were in business for about 50 years.

0:10:550:10:57

They started in 1950, but they've now gone out of business.

0:10:570:11:00

So how much do you think we might get at auction?

0:11:000:11:03

We're looking at between £80 and £120, how about that?

0:11:030:11:06

Oh, I think that'll be fine.

0:11:060:11:08

We're on the right tracks, shall we see what else we can find?

0:11:080:11:10

-Let's go.

-Thank you.

0:11:100:11:12

We've found such a variety of items to take to auction, but with the day

0:11:140:11:17

drawing to a close there's just time for the one last sweep of the house.

0:11:170:11:22

In the hallway, Lynne spots two prints by the artis, David Bates,

0:11:230:11:27

who had a successful career as a porcelain painter for Royal Worcester.

0:11:270:11:31

Jonty values them at a modest £20-£30.

0:11:310:11:35

-Jonty?

-Yes?

-We've got these.

0:11:370:11:39

-This lovely little clock.

-Yes.

0:11:390:11:42

-And we've got also another couple.

-What do you know about the collection?

0:11:420:11:46

Not very much, except for my father bought them at a boot sale.

0:11:460:11:48

-And why did he buy them?

-Because of the name, because they're made by Elliott & Son.

-Ah!

0:11:480:11:53

So the family name and that's the connection.

0:11:530:11:55

-Is that a family member who made the clocks?

-Sadly not.

0:11:550:11:59

Well, what we're looking at here

0:11:590:12:01

is a little clock known as a carriage clock and all carriage clocks have a handle on the top.

0:12:010:12:05

And as the name suggests, carriage clocks were designed to be transported around.

0:12:050:12:10

It was your own personal timepiece.

0:12:100:12:12

They were very fashionable in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

0:12:120:12:17

-But these, I think they're a little later...

-Oh, OK.

0:12:170:12:19

Because most carriage clocks were a lot larger than this.

0:12:190:12:23

So, if you can see, we've got our three here,

0:12:230:12:25

you can see how similar they are in size,

0:12:250:12:27

but a regular carriage clock, a period carriage clock, would be almost twice the size.

0:12:270:12:32

-You're sure we can sell this collection?

-Definitely.

-Well, let's tell the others the good news.

0:12:320:12:37

Estimate at auction between £140 and £180.

0:12:370:12:40

I think we've had a pretty good day today.

0:12:400:12:43

-Wonderful.

-We've seen some lovely things and if we add that money

0:12:430:12:47

to everything else that Jonty's looked at

0:12:470:12:50

and we can conservatively take his lowest estimate on everything...

0:12:500:12:53

Now, £800 was the amount you wanted to raise for the three organisations within the village.

0:12:530:12:59

Well, I can tell you that we should be able to make £1,360!

0:12:590:13:06

Wow!

0:13:060:13:08

That would be brilliant.

0:13:080:13:10

That's not bad, is it?

0:13:100:13:12

-Not bad? Great!

-Great, well done.

0:13:120:13:15

We've had a delightful day in North Yorkshire.

0:13:150:13:19

What an array of items we've amassed for auction.

0:13:190:13:22

There's the magnificent gold and silver pocket watches.

0:13:220:13:26

If the right buyers are in the room

0:13:260:13:28

these could soar through their £250 to £350 estimate.

0:13:280:13:32

The vast collection of character and Toby jugs.

0:13:320:13:35

We're looking for upwards of £250.

0:13:350:13:39

And who could forget the limited edition Carlton Ware punchbowl?

0:13:400:13:44

The workmanship is truly stunning,

0:13:440:13:46

but Jack paid more than Jonty's £300 estimate.

0:13:460:13:50

Will he make his money back on sale day?

0:13:500:13:53

Still to come on Cash In The Attic,

0:13:540:13:57

there's delight as some of our items prove highly popular in the saleroom.

0:13:570:14:01

-That's what you call a belter of a result!

-Yeah!

0:14:010:14:05

And concern as to the desirability of others.

0:14:050:14:08

Did... Did you like them, girls?

0:14:080:14:10

I thought they were a bit, like, painting by numbers, personally.

0:14:100:14:13

But if they do well today I might like them more.

0:14:130:14:17

Will we make our target?

0:14:170:14:19

Be there when the hammer falls.

0:14:190:14:21

Well, it's been quite a while since we met Jack and his lovely daughters

0:14:270:14:31

in North Yorkshire and learnt of

0:14:310:14:33

the sad death of his beloved wife, but also of his plan to be able to

0:14:330:14:38

make a donation in her memory to some of the organisations with which she was involved.

0:14:380:14:43

So, we've brought all of his things here today

0:14:430:14:45

to Silverwoods in Clitheroe

0:14:450:14:47

and we should be able to make that £800 target of his - and some, perhaps.

0:14:470:14:52

This popular Lancashire auction house holds a sale of antiques,

0:14:540:14:58

collectables and furniture once a month and it's usually very well attended.

0:14:580:15:03

There seems to be an abundance of fine porcelain here today, which

0:15:030:15:07

means that our fabulous Carlton Ware punchbowl will be in good company.

0:15:070:15:10

I'd love Jack and his daughters to make as much money as they can.

0:15:100:15:14

Hi, Jack, Lynne and Ruth.

0:15:140:15:17

Well, you've just got minutes to go and that'll be the last time you'll see that.

0:15:170:15:21

I'll be sorry to lose it, actually.

0:15:210:15:22

But you have got some terrific things coming up today

0:15:220:15:25

and you don't want to have to take any of them home with you, do you?

0:15:250:15:29

-Not really, no.

-Definitely not.

-Especially the books!

-Absolutely.

0:15:290:15:32

Well, the saleroom is beginning to fill up, so shall we go and take our

0:15:320:15:36

places and keep fingers crossed for that £800 and some? Come on.

0:15:360:15:42

It looks like we've got a full house today, which is great news.

0:15:420:15:45

We take up our positions in time for our first lot.

0:15:450:15:48

It's the very elegant famille rose bowl made by Sampson Of Paris.

0:15:480:15:53

30, then? 20 quickly. £20.

0:15:530:15:55

£20 and two.

0:15:550:15:57

Oh, started at 20. Pretty low.

0:15:570:15:58

Anybody else then, now? At £20. And 22. Be quick then, now.

0:15:580:16:01

All quite sure this time at £20?

0:16:010:16:04

All done.

0:16:040:16:06

-That was a disappointment, wasn't it?

-Well, it's all right.

-You win some, you lose some.

0:16:060:16:10

Not the start we were hoping for,

0:16:100:16:12

but Jack and the girls don't seem too upset.

0:16:120:16:14

I think we'll just bank the money and move on.

0:16:140:16:18

I can only assume that the porcelain buyers were saving their

0:16:180:16:22

money for our next item, and what an item it is!

0:16:220:16:26

Well, it's Henry VIII and his six wives.

0:16:260:16:28

Right, a bit of a rarity.

0:16:280:16:30

Who will start me at what for this one? £100 and straight in.

0:16:300:16:32

100, any of you?

0:16:320:16:34

-Straight in at 100, Jack.

-110. 110. 120. 130? 130. 140 now.

0:16:340:16:39

-Going quickly.

-130 in the room.

0:16:390:16:41

We're looking for 140. 150.

0:16:410:16:43

-At £150. 160. 170.

-In the middle of the room, new bidder.

0:16:430:16:47

170. We're looking at 180 now. All quite sure at £170?

0:16:470:16:51

-I'm disappointed by that.

-You thought it was going to make a lot more than that.

0:16:530:16:57

Yes, yes, absolutely.

0:16:570:16:58

It's fair to say that we had really high hopes for

0:16:580:17:01

the magnificent punchbowl, but sadly it wasn't to be.

0:17:010:17:05

Can our luck change with the massive collection of Toby and character jugs?

0:17:050:17:09

The auction house has split them into three separate lots

0:17:090:17:13

and we're looking for at least £250 in total.

0:17:130:17:16

There are 14 of these. Right, £30 for all the lot.

0:17:160:17:20

At £30. And 32 now for all the 14 together.

0:17:200:17:23

-At £30.

-£30 for the jugs.

0:17:230:17:25

32. 35. 38? All done at £38.

0:17:250:17:29

£38.

0:17:290:17:31

£50 here. 50 bid. 50 and five. 60.

0:17:310:17:36

Five. 65. 70 now. £70. 75.

0:17:360:17:39

-80? At 75 at the back.

-We've got a determined bidder at the back of the room.

0:17:390:17:44

-90. Five. 100.

-He's still nodding.

0:17:440:17:47

And ten. 120?

0:17:470:17:48

Now I've £110 at the back then.

0:17:480:17:50

All done at £110.

0:17:500:17:52

-Thank you.

-110, that's good.

0:17:520:17:55

110 for the second lot. The next lot coming up now.

0:17:550:17:57

Right, lot 43 and you have Henry VIII and six wives.

0:17:570:18:01

There you go, all of the Royal Doulton character jugs in lot 43.

0:18:010:18:04

-100 bid.

-100 we bid already.

0:18:040:18:06

At £100. 110. 120. 130. 140.

0:18:060:18:10

150. 160. 170? At 160 up here.

0:18:100:18:14

Yes!

0:18:140:18:16

We're looking for 170. At £160. Where is 170 this time then, now?

0:18:160:18:19

Are you all quite sure? All done at £160.

0:18:190:18:24

£308.

0:18:240:18:26

-Oh, fantastic.

-Good.

-Well done.

0:18:260:18:28

What a roller coaster that was,

0:18:280:18:31

but we hit the middle of Jonty's estimate in the end.

0:18:310:18:34

There are sighs of relief all round as we have our first above estimate sale of the day.

0:18:340:18:39

And the collection of cameras soon follows suit.

0:18:390:18:41

At 25. And 28 this time. 28. Quick as a flash, come on!

0:18:430:18:47

At 25, 28. Anybody else? 28.

0:18:470:18:49

-28.

-£30. And two. At 30 with me.

0:18:490:18:53

-On the internet, they're bidding.

-That's good.

-At £30. And 32 online.

0:18:530:18:57

32. 35 now. At £32 on the screen.

0:18:570:19:02

It's going, all done.

0:19:020:19:03

Selling for £2 over the top of the estimate.

0:19:030:19:07

It feels like we've hit our stride, but I'll be interested to see

0:19:070:19:11

how our next item fares because it's one of our more unusual lots.

0:19:110:19:15

The military belt is coming up now, Jack.

0:19:150:19:19

Just remind who this belonged to.

0:19:190:19:21

It was my great uncle's and he served in the First World War.

0:19:210:19:25

And it's decorated with all sorts of sort of army and RAF badges.

0:19:250:19:29

Did you never try and kid the daughters that they were yours?

0:19:290:19:31

Sometimes. I'd do anything for a laugh!

0:19:310:19:34

-35. 38.

-Going up.

-At 38.

-Lots of bidders.

0:19:340:19:37

At 50. 55. £60. At £55 here.

0:19:370:19:40

Looking for £60.

0:19:400:19:42

£60. 65. £70? At 65.

0:19:420:19:47

Where's 70 now for this little lot?

0:19:470:19:49

All done at £65, make no mistake.

0:19:490:19:51

£65.

0:19:510:19:53

-Jack!

-Oh, wow!

0:19:530:19:55

-That's what you call a belter of a result!

-Yeah.

0:19:550:19:58

How about that? Twice the lower estimate.

0:19:580:20:02

Let's hope that the upward trend continues with our next lot,

0:20:020:20:05

the trio of carriage clocks

0:20:050:20:07

valued at £140 to £180.

0:20:070:20:11

220. 250. 280.

0:20:110:20:13

-Oh, wow!

-280. 300. And 20. 320. 350.

0:20:130:20:19

380. 400, sir. 400. And 20. 450.

0:20:190:20:25

No, at 420 away in the corner.

0:20:250:20:28

At £420. 450, new man. 480. 500.

0:20:280:20:32

-500!

-And 50. At £500.

0:20:320:20:34

Have another 50, your dad would.

0:20:340:20:36

At £500.

0:20:360:20:38

At 550 now. All done at £500.

0:20:380:20:39

550. 550.

0:20:390:20:44

600. At £550, are you all done?

0:20:440:20:47

-At 550.

-Wow!

-They paid for the name!

0:20:470:20:52

An astonishing result!

0:20:520:20:55

Three times Jonty's top estimate!

0:20:550:20:57

If that doesn't make up for our earlier disappointments, then I don't know what will.

0:20:570:21:03

So far you've made £1,145.

0:21:040:21:10

-Thank you very much.

-Oh, good!

0:21:100:21:14

-Is that like scoring a hat trick?

-Lovely.

0:21:140:21:18

If you've been inspired by Jack's progress and you're thinking of heading to auction.

0:21:180:21:23

then do remember that fees like commission

0:21:230:21:25

may be added to your bill, so please do check the details with your local auction house

0:21:250:21:29

first, to avoid any unwelcome surprises.

0:21:290:21:32

Our next lot is the model trains and track

0:21:320:21:36

which Jonty valued at £80 to £120.

0:21:360:21:40

At 95. Where's 100 for this little lot?

0:21:400:21:42

-Online, 100.

-At 120 if you want.

0:21:420:21:44

120. 130, now?

0:21:440:21:46

At 120 back of the room.

0:21:460:21:49

At £120. And 130 this time.

0:21:490:21:50

-All done. 130. 140.

-Still going up!

-140. 150 now?

0:21:500:21:55

At £140. We're looking for 150 this time.

0:21:550:21:57

-All done at 140.

-Very good.

0:21:570:22:02

-Yeah.

-That's lovely.

0:22:020:22:03

That was full steam ahead on that, wasn't it?

0:22:030:22:06

Well done. That is such a great start to the second half.

0:22:060:22:10

We know that Jack's already exceeded his target,

0:22:100:22:13

but each sale will be adding more money to his great causes.

0:22:130:22:17

So, how will this next lot do?

0:22:170:22:19

It's the set of Victorian Encyclopaedia Britannicas with their original bookshelf.

0:22:190:22:23

It'll do you good. 150.

0:22:230:22:25

160. At 150 up here.

0:22:250:22:27

At £150. All done at 150 this time.

0:22:270:22:31

Well, we had 40 to 60 on it so we've made more than double that, Jonty.

0:22:310:22:36

I'm really pleased about that.

0:22:360:22:37

I think Jack is, too.

0:22:370:22:39

His lots are certainly popular here at the moment.

0:22:390:22:42

Next we've got the quartet of landscapes by the artist B Ward.

0:22:420:22:45

Did you like them, girls?

0:22:450:22:47

I thought they were a bit like painting by numbers, personally.

0:22:470:22:50

But if they do well today, I might like them more.

0:22:500:22:54

Go on, I'll take 20.

0:22:540:22:55

20, any of you?

0:22:550:22:58

£20, come on. What can you buy for £20?

0:22:580:23:02

-Our luck's running out, Jack.

-Yes.

0:23:020:23:03

Any of you? ten I'm bid. ten and 12 if you like.

0:23:030:23:06

At £10 bid. And 12 for these.

0:23:060:23:08

At £12 bid. And £12 anybody else then, now? All quite sure? And a maiden bid of a tenner.

0:23:080:23:12

That was a bit disappointing,

0:23:120:23:14

but luckily our next set of prints prove more popular...

0:23:140:23:19

At £25. And 28 now.

0:23:190:23:21

At 25. And 28 be quick.

0:23:210:23:24

All done at 25.

0:23:240:23:25

..making bang in the middle of Jonty's estimate.

0:23:250:23:28

To complete our day we have three lots in quick succession consisting of our gold and silver items.

0:23:280:23:35

Now the auction house has decided to divide up our pocket watches into two separate lots, so we've got one

0:23:350:23:41

for the silver watches, a second for the gold watches, plus our gold sovereign in case,

0:23:410:23:47

and to finish off we have that magnificent nine carat gold chain now as a standalone piece.

0:23:470:23:54

So, what's going to happen this time again is that it's going to be fast and furious,

0:23:540:23:57

but hopefully what we're going to get is, what,

0:23:570:24:00

something in the region of £350 in total for them?

0:24:000:24:03

-We should do, we should do.

-Nice little package is this.

0:24:030:24:06

-100. 110.

-Sounds good.

0:24:060:24:08

-120. 130. At 130. 140. 150.

-Online! 150.

0:24:080:24:14

170 now. At £160 on the side.

0:24:140:24:17

We're looking for 170, quickly. All done at 160.

0:24:170:24:20

£160, wow!

0:24:200:24:24

Here we go, here comes the next one.

0:24:240:24:26

130 with me. 130. 140 now.

0:24:260:24:29

160 at the back of the room. 170.

0:24:290:24:31

180 on the screen. 190.

0:24:310:24:33

200 again. At £190. We're looking for 200 quickly.

0:24:330:24:37

All done at 190. 200. 220.

0:24:370:24:40

-It's heart in the mouth stuff, isn't it?

-It certainly is!

0:24:400:24:46

250 it'll have to be. All done at £220.

0:24:460:24:50

Terrific!

0:24:500:24:53

-The Albert chain now coming up.

-And I'll start this straightaway at £100.

-He's in at 100.

0:24:530:24:57

110. 120? 120. 130. 140. And 50.

0:24:570:25:03

It's like being on a seesaw, isn't it?

0:25:030:25:05

-250? 250. 280. 300.

-I'll need security to take me home!

0:25:050:25:11

350? 350. 380 now.

0:25:110:25:14

At £350 now. All done at 350.

0:25:140:25:18

That made you £730!

0:25:190:25:22

Goodness me!

0:25:220:25:23

What a terrific way to finish off!

0:25:230:25:25

I think we're all very keen to know what the final figure is.

0:25:250:25:29

You wanted to raise £800 in total.

0:25:320:25:34

You've made £2,200, Jack!

0:25:340:25:36

-Well done! You'll definitely get Supporter Of The Year this year!

-Lovely.

-You always do!

0:25:360:25:42

I think you've done so well that you can definitely sign Wayne Rooney

0:25:420:25:46

and possibly build a new stadium, as well.

0:25:460:25:48

Three weeks after that terrific day Ruth is accompanying Jack to the

0:25:520:25:57

home ground of his beloved Colburn Town Football Club.

0:25:570:26:00

Jack is delighted to be handing over three separate cheques

0:26:000:26:03

to huge three hugely grateful beneficiaries, his local church... Right, Ken and Doreen,

0:26:030:26:08

I'm very pleased to be able to present you with this cheque.

0:26:080:26:12

-The village drama group...

-There you are, all the best.

0:26:120:26:15

And, of course, Jack's team, Colburn Town Football Club.

0:26:150:26:20

I've always been told by my mother that it's better to give than to receive.

0:26:200:26:25

HE CHEERS
