Welcome to the programme that takes treasure hunting out of the world of fiction and makes it a reality | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
as we hunt for gems in the homes of people that we can take to auction | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
and hopefully make a tidy sum for their owners, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
because you just never know what you're going to find | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
when you start to rummage on Cash In The Attic. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
Coming up on Cash In The Attic, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
we go large with a stunning piece of Carlton Ware. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
Flipping 'eck, Jack! | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
That's a bit big for your cornflakes in the morning, isn't it? | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
And we downsize with some Royal Doulton Toby jugs. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Unless my eyes deceive me, I have to say that what I'm looking at here | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
has to be the smallest Toby jug I've ever, ever seen! | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
I have to agree with you, he certainly is! | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
But will the bidders have a healthy appetite for our collectables come auction day? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
£420. 450, new man. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
-450! -500! | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Find out as the hammer falls. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Today I'm in the Yorkshire Dales at the village of Colburn | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
and I'm about to meet a man | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
who has a talent for building, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
a passion for his local football team, and a really big heart. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
80-year-old football fanatic Jack Elliott | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
began an apprenticeship in carpentry when he was just 14 | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
and over the years he added building, architecture and teaching to his list of qualifications. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
He met the love of his life, Joyce, when he was 17, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
they enjoyed the next 60 years together, and have four children. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
In 1984 Jack put all his handiwork skills to the test | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
when he single-handedly built their dream home in North Yorkshire. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
He even landscaped the garden himself. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Sadly, Joyce passed away three years ago | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
and Jack has decided that the time has come for a bit of a clear out. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
His daughters Ruth and Lynne are in to help, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
as is the Cash In The Attic team. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Jack and your two daughters, Lynne and Ruth, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
are you thinking of going fishing? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-We could do that here! -You made this pond, didn't you, Jack? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
-Yeah. -And behind you, the house that Jack built. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
It is indeed. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
You're something of a master craftsman, I'm told. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Some people think so. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Now, why did you call in Cash In The Attic, Jack? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Because I thought it was a good idea to put something back | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
into all the different groups that brought my wife and I happiness. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
-And how much do you think that's going to take? -About £800. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-So you're something of a collector then, Jack? -Well, I have been. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-Ah, yes, I think... -I would say so! -I would say so, yeah! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
A lot of dusting to do. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Well, it sounds as if you've got a house full of stuff in there, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
and I tell you who else is there at the moment, I didn't just come myself, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
I brought Jonty Hearnden with me, who knows a thing or two about collectables. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-So, shall we go into the house and find him and see what he's come across? -Definitely. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
Now, his daughters did say there are plenty of items in the house | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
that need dusting, and they're not wrong! | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
Every shelf is crammed full of them. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Now, this is good news for us and I know that our expert | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
is going to be delighted to see such a wealth of goodies. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-There you go. Hi, Jonty! -Hi. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Look at this. -Flipping 'eck, Jack! | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
That's a bit big for your cornflakes in the morning! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
It is. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-Whatever made you buy that? -Well, I thought my wife would like it | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
and I bought it specially for a special present for her. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
Did you? Why did you think she might like it? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
Because she's actually steeped in history and I'd already bought | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Toby jugs with King Henry and his six wives | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
and I thought this would match that quite nicely. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
You're absolutely right. It's absolutely stunning, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
but the great thing about this punchbowl, is the fact that it's | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
a limited edition bowl and if we look at the information on the underside, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
because all the information is here, | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
is that this bowl is one of 250, and this is number 18, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
but the great news is that this bowl was made by Carlton Ware, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
and Carlton Ware are highly desirable, very collectable, | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
so that's incredibly good news for us. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
The most important thing to really appreciate about this | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
is that all the decoration, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
all the coloured decoration on this bowl would all be hand done, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
so there's an awful lot of detail. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
I mean, just look at the great man himself. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
Look at all the detailing there. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
You bought this at auction, didn't you, Jack? How much did you pay? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
I paid £500 and I thought that it was worth every penny | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
because my wife would really adore it. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
It's such a lovely thing that you've said that, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
but at auction I would say something like £300 to £400. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Let's go and see what we can add to it to take to auction. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Come on, Jack. Follow me. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Ruth has started her search in the kitchen and she digs out a really pretty porcelain bowl | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
that she remembers once belonging to Jack's Aunt Nellie. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
It was made in France by Sampson of Paris | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
and is in the Chinese famille rose style. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
Jonty thinks the bidders will be happy to pay upwards of £60 | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
for this quite charming piece. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-Ah, there you are, Lynne. -Oh, hello. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
An amazing collection we've got here. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
-It is, yeah. -So how was this collection accumulated? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
My mum took a liking to Toby jugs quite a long, long time ago | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
and any time they saw a Toby jug my dad would buy it for her. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-Some people get diamond and jewels... -My mum got Toby jugs, yeah! | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
But I think it's charming. It sounds like your dad all over. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-It does, yeah. Indeed. -Now, Lynne, unless my eyes deceive me, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
what I'm looking at here has to be | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
the smallest Toby jug I've ever, ever seen! | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
I think he certainly is! | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
To be truthful, my dad would probably like to keep hold of that | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
because it is pretty special. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
So, as far as value is concerned | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
I think the star items have to be Henry VIII and his six wives. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-Oh, I think so, I think so. -They... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
You know, somebody will really want those, | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
so, be it a collector or a dealer, that's a definite. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
Right. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
But as a collection we're looking | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
roughly between £250 and £350. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-OK. -And hopefully a lot more than that. -That would be good. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
But will the bidders be fighting over those Toby jugs at auction? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
We've got a really determined bidder at the back of the room here, Jack. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
90. Five. 100. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Only time will tell. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
Jack continues our rummage in the bedroom. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
He pulls four framed landscapes | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
by the artist B Ward from the back of a wardrobe. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
Jonty values them at £50 to £70. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
We're off to a really good start here | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
in North Yorkshire in Jack's delightful home. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
and there's lots of evidence around to show just how football mad he is. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:48 | |
Well, that's a nice thing to have, Jack, | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
"Colburn Town Football Club 2008-2009, Club Man, Jack Elliott." | 0:06:52 | 0:06:58 | |
-That's me! -And another three to go with it. -Certainly, yeah. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
-So this is THE football team, is it? -This is the football team, yes. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-You are passionate about football, aren't you? -I certainly am. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
-So how did that start? -I've always had an interest in football | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
and I think now I've been watching or playing football for 69 years. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
Good heavens above! You met your wife playing footie, didn't you? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
I certainly did. When I was about 18 I was selected to play | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
for the Under-18s in the district. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
The first game, and I was playing on the wing when this girl was on | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
the touchline, and at the end of the match she asked me | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-if I wanted to go to the cinema. -She dated you, then? | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
She certainly did. It carried on for about three years and then we | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
got married and we were married for 55 years before I lost her. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
I'm sure Joyce will be with us on the day we go to auction, making sure we get really good prices | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
for everything that goes under the hammer. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-Shall we find Jonty and see what else he's found for us? -Certainly. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Whilst we've been chatting, Jonty continued his search. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
He spots a bookshelf | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
filled with a complete set of The Encyclopaedia Britannica. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
They date from the 1880s | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
Jonty thinks that this set of 35 volumes, complete with original bookshelf, | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
deserves to make upwards of £40 to £60 at auction. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
Jack has dug out an army belt which used to belong to his uncle who fought in the First World War. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
It's not in great condition, but Jonty thinks it's real value | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
is in the cap badges that are attached and values them at £30-£40. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
Ah, Ruth? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
-Yeah? -I think I've found some buried treasure. -Oh, wow! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
I remember that. My father bought it about 30 years or more ago. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:46 | |
-Really? -Yeah. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
It's a fob chain, although at the end of it, | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
rather than having a pocket watch... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-Yeah. -..we have a beautiful little sovereign holder. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
So, inside we have this lovely gold sovereign, Queen Victoria's head on it. | 0:08:54 | 0:09:00 | |
And we should have a date on there. 1889. There we go. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Oh, wow! I didn't realise it was that old. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
But not only have we got a gold-plated sovereign holder, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
-but this is a lovely, solid, nine carat gold fob chain. -Oh, really? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
And every single link is marked to prove that it's gold. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
-Great. Fantastic. -Now, as far as value is concerned I think if we aimed at a low figure | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
we're going to get everyone frothing at the mouth | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
wanting to buy the gold, so it's a question of pitching it right. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-I think if we go in as low as £120 to £150... -OK. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
..then we should maybe even get up to £200 quite easily. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
-Oh, OK. That'd be good. -You happy about that? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Yeah. Might not put a smile on Queen Victoria's face, but it will on mine. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
-Excellent. OK, let's carry on. -Yeah, great. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Jack's cupboards are filled with items that he no longer uses, | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
like this old camera. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
In fact, it's just one of many that he bought when he was planning to take up photography. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
So they're off to auction with a £20 to £30 price tag. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
Ruth has discovered | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
a very fine gold pocket watch that was made by Thomas Russell and son. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
There are four more that Jack's collected over the years. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
Jonty's very impressed | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
and thinks we'll easily reach his £250 to £350 estimate. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
Jonty, are you busy for a minute? Can you take a look at this? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
-Oh, look at that. -Yeah. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Now, let's have a look. Can I have a look at this first of all? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Because this looks very interesting, here. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
This is a German engine. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
And Lima were known for making very unusual train sets. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
If you think about it, how commercial is a German diesel engine in Britain? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-I don't think very commercial at all. -I mean, we all know about Hornby. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-Yes. -Because Hornby of course made famous train sets, didn't they? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
Well, where market leaders go of course other people follow | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
and Lima was a follower. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
They were in business for about 50 years. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
They started in 1950, but they've now gone out of business. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
So how much do you think we might get at auction? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
We're looking at between £80 and £120, how about that? | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
Oh, I think that'll be fine. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
We're on the right tracks, shall we see what else we can find? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
-Let's go. -Thank you. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
We've found such a variety of items to take to auction, but with the day | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
drawing to a close there's just time for the one last sweep of the house. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
In the hallway, Lynne spots two prints by the artis, David Bates, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
who had a successful career as a porcelain painter for Royal Worcester. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
Jonty values them at a modest £20-£30. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
-Jonty? -Yes? -We've got these. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
-This lovely little clock. -Yes. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-And we've got also another couple. -What do you know about the collection? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
Not very much, except for my father bought them at a boot sale. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
-And why did he buy them? -Because of the name, because they're made by Elliott & Son. -Ah! | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
So the family name and that's the connection. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
-Is that a family member who made the clocks? -Sadly not. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
Well, what we're looking at here | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
is a little clock known as a carriage clock and all carriage clocks have a handle on the top. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
And as the name suggests, carriage clocks were designed to be transported around. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
It was your own personal timepiece. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
They were very fashionable in the late 19th century and early 20th century. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
-But these, I think they're a little later... -Oh, OK. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Because most carriage clocks were a lot larger than this. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
So, if you can see, we've got our three here, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
you can see how similar they are in size, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
but a regular carriage clock, a period carriage clock, would be almost twice the size. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
-You're sure we can sell this collection? -Definitely. -Well, let's tell the others the good news. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
Estimate at auction between £140 and £180. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
I think we've had a pretty good day today. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-Wonderful. -We've seen some lovely things and if we add that money | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
to everything else that Jonty's looked at | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
and we can conservatively take his lowest estimate on everything... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Now, £800 was the amount you wanted to raise for the three organisations within the village. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:59 | |
Well, I can tell you that we should be able to make £1,360! | 0:12:59 | 0:13:06 | |
Wow! | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
That would be brilliant. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
That's not bad, is it? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-Not bad? Great! -Great, well done. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
We've had a delightful day in North Yorkshire. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
What an array of items we've amassed for auction. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
There's the magnificent gold and silver pocket watches. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
If the right buyers are in the room | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
these could soar through their £250 to £350 estimate. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
The vast collection of character and Toby jugs. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
We're looking for upwards of £250. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
And who could forget the limited edition Carlton Ware punchbowl? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
The workmanship is truly stunning, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
but Jack paid more than Jonty's £300 estimate. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
Will he make his money back on sale day? | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
Still to come on Cash In The Attic, | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
there's delight as some of our items prove highly popular in the saleroom. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
-That's what you call a belter of a result! -Yeah! | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
And concern as to the desirability of others. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
Did... Did you like them, girls? | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
I thought they were a bit, like, painting by numbers, personally. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
But if they do well today I might like them more. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
Will we make our target? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
Be there when the hammer falls. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Well, it's been quite a while since we met Jack and his lovely daughters | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
in North Yorkshire and learnt of | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
the sad death of his beloved wife, but also of his plan to be able to | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
make a donation in her memory to some of the organisations with which she was involved. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
So, we've brought all of his things here today | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
to Silverwoods in Clitheroe | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
and we should be able to make that £800 target of his - and some, perhaps. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
This popular Lancashire auction house holds a sale of antiques, | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
collectables and furniture once a month and it's usually very well attended. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
There seems to be an abundance of fine porcelain here today, which | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
means that our fabulous Carlton Ware punchbowl will be in good company. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
I'd love Jack and his daughters to make as much money as they can. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
Hi, Jack, Lynne and Ruth. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
Well, you've just got minutes to go and that'll be the last time you'll see that. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
I'll be sorry to lose it, actually. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
But you have got some terrific things coming up today | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
and you don't want to have to take any of them home with you, do you? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
-Not really, no. -Definitely not. -Especially the books! -Absolutely. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Well, the saleroom is beginning to fill up, so shall we go and take our | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
places and keep fingers crossed for that £800 and some? Come on. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:42 | |
It looks like we've got a full house today, which is great news. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
We take up our positions in time for our first lot. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
It's the very elegant famille rose bowl made by Sampson Of Paris. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
30, then? 20 quickly. £20. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
£20 and two. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Oh, started at 20. Pretty low. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
Anybody else then, now? At £20. And 22. Be quick then, now. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
All quite sure this time at £20? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
All done. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
-That was a disappointment, wasn't it? -Well, it's all right. -You win some, you lose some. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
Not the start we were hoping for, | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
but Jack and the girls don't seem too upset. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
I think we'll just bank the money and move on. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
I can only assume that the porcelain buyers were saving their | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
money for our next item, and what an item it is! | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
Well, it's Henry VIII and his six wives. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Right, a bit of a rarity. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
Who will start me at what for this one? £100 and straight in. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
100, any of you? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
-Straight in at 100, Jack. -110. 110. 120. 130? 130. 140 now. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
-Going quickly. -130 in the room. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
We're looking for 140. 150. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-At £150. 160. 170. -In the middle of the room, new bidder. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
170. We're looking at 180 now. All quite sure at £170? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
-I'm disappointed by that. -You thought it was going to make a lot more than that. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
Yes, yes, absolutely. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:58 | |
It's fair to say that we had really high hopes for | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
the magnificent punchbowl, but sadly it wasn't to be. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
Can our luck change with the massive collection of Toby and character jugs? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
The auction house has split them into three separate lots | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
and we're looking for at least £250 in total. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
There are 14 of these. Right, £30 for all the lot. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
At £30. And 32 now for all the 14 together. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-At £30. -£30 for the jugs. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
32. 35. 38? All done at £38. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
£38. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
£50 here. 50 bid. 50 and five. 60. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
Five. 65. 70 now. £70. 75. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-80? At 75 at the back. -We've got a determined bidder at the back of the room. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
-90. Five. 100. -He's still nodding. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
And ten. 120? | 0:17:47 | 0:17:48 | |
Now I've £110 at the back then. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
All done at £110. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-Thank you. -110, that's good. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
110 for the second lot. The next lot coming up now. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
Right, lot 43 and you have Henry VIII and six wives. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
There you go, all of the Royal Doulton character jugs in lot 43. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-100 bid. -100 we bid already. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
At £100. 110. 120. 130. 140. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
150. 160. 170? At 160 up here. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
Yes! | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
We're looking for 170. At £160. Where is 170 this time then, now? | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
Are you all quite sure? All done at £160. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
£308. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
-Oh, fantastic. -Good. -Well done. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
What a roller coaster that was, | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
but we hit the middle of Jonty's estimate in the end. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
There are sighs of relief all round as we have our first above estimate sale of the day. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
And the collection of cameras soon follows suit. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
At 25. And 28 this time. 28. Quick as a flash, come on! | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
At 25, 28. Anybody else? 28. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
-28. -£30. And two. At 30 with me. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
-On the internet, they're bidding. -That's good. -At £30. And 32 online. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
32. 35 now. At £32 on the screen. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
It's going, all done. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
Selling for £2 over the top of the estimate. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
It feels like we've hit our stride, but I'll be interested to see | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
how our next item fares because it's one of our more unusual lots. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
The military belt is coming up now, Jack. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
Just remind who this belonged to. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
It was my great uncle's and he served in the First World War. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
And it's decorated with all sorts of sort of army and RAF badges. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Did you never try and kid the daughters that they were yours? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Sometimes. I'd do anything for a laugh! | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
-35. 38. -Going up. -At 38. -Lots of bidders. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
At 50. 55. £60. At £55 here. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Looking for £60. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
£60. 65. £70? At 65. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
Where's 70 now for this little lot? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
All done at £65, make no mistake. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
£65. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-Jack! -Oh, wow! | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
-That's what you call a belter of a result! -Yeah. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
How about that? Twice the lower estimate. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
Let's hope that the upward trend continues with our next lot, | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
the trio of carriage clocks | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
valued at £140 to £180. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
220. 250. 280. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
-Oh, wow! -280. 300. And 20. 320. 350. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:19 | |
380. 400, sir. 400. And 20. 450. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:25 | |
No, at 420 away in the corner. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
At £420. 450, new man. 480. 500. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
-500! -And 50. At £500. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Have another 50, your dad would. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
At £500. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
At 550 now. All done at £500. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
550. 550. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
600. At £550, are you all done? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-At 550. -Wow! -They paid for the name! | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
An astonishing result! | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
Three times Jonty's top estimate! | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
If that doesn't make up for our earlier disappointments, then I don't know what will. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:03 | |
So far you've made £1,145. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:10 | |
-Thank you very much. -Oh, good! | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
-Is that like scoring a hat trick? -Lovely. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
If you've been inspired by Jack's progress and you're thinking of heading to auction. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
then do remember that fees like commission | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
may be added to your bill, so please do check the details with your local auction house | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
first, to avoid any unwelcome surprises. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Our next lot is the model trains and track | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
which Jonty valued at £80 to £120. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
At 95. Where's 100 for this little lot? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
-Online, 100. -At 120 if you want. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
120. 130, now? | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
At 120 back of the room. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
At £120. And 130 this time. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:50 | |
-All done. 130. 140. -Still going up! -140. 150 now? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
At £140. We're looking for 150 this time. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
-All done at 140. -Very good. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
-Yeah. -That's lovely. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:03 | |
That was full steam ahead on that, wasn't it? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
Well done. That is such a great start to the second half. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
We know that Jack's already exceeded his target, | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
but each sale will be adding more money to his great causes. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
So, how will this next lot do? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
It's the set of Victorian Encyclopaedia Britannicas with their original bookshelf. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
It'll do you good. 150. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
160. At 150 up here. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
At £150. All done at 150 this time. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
Well, we had 40 to 60 on it so we've made more than double that, Jonty. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
I'm really pleased about that. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:37 | |
I think Jack is, too. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
His lots are certainly popular here at the moment. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Next we've got the quartet of landscapes by the artist B Ward. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Did you like them, girls? | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
I thought they were a bit like painting by numbers, personally. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
But if they do well today, I might like them more. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Go on, I'll take 20. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
20, any of you? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
£20, come on. What can you buy for £20? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
-Our luck's running out, Jack. -Yes. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
Any of you? ten I'm bid. ten and 12 if you like. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
At £10 bid. And 12 for these. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
At £12 bid. And £12 anybody else then, now? All quite sure? And a maiden bid of a tenner. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
That was a bit disappointing, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
but luckily our next set of prints prove more popular... | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
At £25. And 28 now. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
At 25. And 28 be quick. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
All done at 25. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
..making bang in the middle of Jonty's estimate. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
To complete our day we have three lots in quick succession consisting of our gold and silver items. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:35 | |
Now the auction house has decided to divide up our pocket watches into two separate lots, so we've got one | 0:23:35 | 0:23:41 | |
for the silver watches, a second for the gold watches, plus our gold sovereign in case, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:47 | |
and to finish off we have that magnificent nine carat gold chain now as a standalone piece. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:54 | |
So, what's going to happen this time again is that it's going to be fast and furious, | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
but hopefully what we're going to get is, what, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
something in the region of £350 in total for them? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
-We should do, we should do. -Nice little package is this. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
-100. 110. -Sounds good. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
-120. 130. At 130. 140. 150. -Online! 150. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:14 | |
170 now. At £160 on the side. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
We're looking for 170, quickly. All done at 160. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
£160, wow! | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
Here we go, here comes the next one. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
130 with me. 130. 140 now. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
160 at the back of the room. 170. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
180 on the screen. 190. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
200 again. At £190. We're looking for 200 quickly. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
All done at 190. 200. 220. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
-It's heart in the mouth stuff, isn't it? -It certainly is! | 0:24:40 | 0:24:46 | |
250 it'll have to be. All done at £220. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
Terrific! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
-The Albert chain now coming up. -And I'll start this straightaway at £100. -He's in at 100. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
110. 120? 120. 130. 140. And 50. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:03 | |
It's like being on a seesaw, isn't it? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
-250? 250. 280. 300. -I'll need security to take me home! | 0:25:05 | 0:25:11 | |

and possibly build a new stadium, as well. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
