0:00:02 > 0:00:07Welcome to the program that takes treasure hunting out of the world of fiction and makes it a reality
0:00:07 > 0:00:10as we hunt for gems in the homes of people that we can take to auction
0:00:10 > 0:00:13and hopefully make a tidy sum for their owners,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16because you just never know what you're going to find
0:00:16 > 0:00:18when you start to rummage on Cash In The Attic.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Coming up on Cash In The Attic,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43we go large with a stunning piece of Carlton Ware.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Flipping 'eck, Jack!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48That's a bit big for your cornflakes in the morning, isn't it?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51And we downsize with some Royal Doulton Toby jugs.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Unless my eyes deceive me, I have to say that what I'm looking at here
0:00:55 > 0:00:58has to be the smallest Toby jug I've ever, ever seen!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I have to agree with you, he certainly is!
0:01:00 > 0:01:05But will the bidders have a healthy appetite for our collectables come auction day?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07£420. 450, new man.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- 450!- 500!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Find out as the hammer falls.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Today I'm in the Yorkshire Dales at the village of Colburn
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and I'm about to meet a man
0:01:20 > 0:01:22who has a talent for building,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26a passion for his local football team, and a really big heart.
0:01:26 > 0:01:3080-year-old football fanatic Jack Elliott
0:01:30 > 0:01:33began an apprenticeship in carpentry when he was just 14
0:01:33 > 0:01:38and over the years he added building, architecture and teaching to his list of qualifications.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43He met the love of his life, Joyce, when he was 17,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47they enjoyed the next 60 years together, and have four children.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52In 1984 Jack put all his handiwork skills to the test
0:01:52 > 0:01:56when he single-handedly built their dream home in North Yorkshire.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58He even landscaped the garden himself.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Sadly, Joyce passed away three years ago
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and Jack has decided that the time has come for a bit of a clear out.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07His daughters Ruth and Lynne are in to help,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09as is the Cash In The Attic team.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Jack and your two daughters, Lynne and Ruth,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16are you thinking of going fishing?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- We could do that here!- You made this pond, didn't you, Jack?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Yeah.- And behind you, the house that Jack built.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It is indeed.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'll talk to you about that later,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30because you're something of a master craftsman, I'm told.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Some people think so.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Now, why did you call in Cash In The Attic, Jack?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Because I thought it was a good idea to put something back
0:02:38 > 0:02:41into all the different groups that brought my wife and I happiness.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- And how much do you think that's going to take?- About £800.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- So you're something of a collector then, Jack?- Well, I have been.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Ah, yes, I think...- I would say so! - I would say so, yeah!
0:02:52 > 0:02:53A lot of dusting to do.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well, it sounds as if you've got a house full of stuff in there,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00and I tell you who else is there at the moment, I didn't just come myself,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I brought Jonty Hearnden with me, who knows a thing or two about collectables.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- So, shall we go into the house and find him and see what he's come across?- Definitely.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I'm really looking forward to hearing
0:03:11 > 0:03:14more about the different groups that Jack is hoping to raise money for.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I know his beloved football team is going to be one of them.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Now, his daughters did say there are plenty of items in the house
0:03:20 > 0:03:25that need dusting, and they're not wrong!
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Every shelf is crammed full of them.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now, this is good news for us and I know that our expert
0:03:29 > 0:03:33is going to be delighted to see such a wealth of goodies.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And it hasn't taken long for something to catch his eye.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Well, you could hardly miss it!
0:03:38 > 0:03:39- There you go. Hi, Jonty!- Hi.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Look at this.- Flipping 'eck, Jack!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45That's a bit big for your cornflakes in the morning!
0:03:45 > 0:03:46It is.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Whatever made you buy that?- Well, I thought my wife would like it
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and I bought it specially for a special present for her.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Did you? - Why did you think she might like it?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Because she's actually steeped in history and I'd already bought
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Toby jugs with King Henry and his six wives
0:04:02 > 0:04:06and I thought this would match that quite nicely.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You're absolutely right. It's absolutely stunning,
0:04:09 > 0:04:14but the great thing about this punchbowl, is the fact that it's
0:04:14 > 0:04:18a limited edition bowl and if we look at the information on the underside,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20because all the information is here,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24is that this bowl is one of 250, and this is number 18,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28but the great news is that this bowl was made by Carlton Ware,
0:04:28 > 0:04:33and Carlton Ware are highly desirable, very collectable,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36so that's incredibly good news for us.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40The most important thing to really appreciate about this
0:04:40 > 0:04:41is that all the decoration,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45all the coloured decoration on this bowl would all be hand done,
0:04:45 > 0:04:46so there's an awful lot of detail.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I mean, just look at the great man himself.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Look at all the detailing there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55You bought this at auction, didn't you, Jack? How much did you pay?
0:04:55 > 0:05:00I paid £500 and I thought that it was worth every penny
0:05:00 > 0:05:02because my wife would really adore it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Well, I think you paid a lot of money for it and it's such a lovely thing
0:05:06 > 0:05:07that you've said that,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11but at auction I would say something like £300 to £400.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Would you be happy with that? - Very happy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I'm sure my wife would be happy being as we're contributing something to the church.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Let's go and see what we can add to it to take to auction.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Come on, Jack.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Follow me.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27A terrific start to our day here in North Yorkshire.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30However, the church is going to be just one of many recipients
0:05:30 > 0:05:34of Jack's auction earnings, so we'll need to find lots more collectables.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Ruth has started her search in the kitchen and she digs out a reallypretty porcelain bowl
0:05:39 > 0:05:42that she remembers once belonging to Jack's Aunt Nellie.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It was made in France by Sampson of Paris
0:05:45 > 0:05:49and is in the Chinese famille rose style.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Jonty thinks the bidders will be happy to pay upwards of £60
0:05:53 > 0:05:55for this quite charming piece.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Ah, there you are, Lynne.- Oh, hello.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Ah, now is this obviously Dad's character jug collection?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Presumably, yeah.- It is, yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05An amazing collection we've got here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- It is, yeah.- So how was this collection accumulated?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13My mum took a liking to Toby jugs quite a long, long time ago
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and whenever they were shopping
0:06:15 > 0:06:17or out for the day, or on holiday,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20any time they saw a Toby jug my dad would buy it for her.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Some people get diamond and jewels...
0:06:23 > 0:06:25My mum got Toby jugs, yeah!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29But I think it's charming. It sounds like your dad all over.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- It does, yeah. Indeed.- Now, Lynne, unless my eyes deceive me,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34what I'm looking at here has to be
0:06:34 > 0:06:37the smallest Toby jug I've ever, ever seen!
0:06:37 > 0:06:38I think he certainly is!
0:06:38 > 0:06:42To be truthful, my dad would probably like to keep hold of that
0:06:42 > 0:06:44because it is pretty special.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46So, as far as value is concerned
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I think the star items have to be Henry VIII and his six wives.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Oh, I think so, I think so.- They...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54You know, somebody will really want those,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57so, be it a collector or a dealer, that's a definite.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Right.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- But as a collection we're looking roughly, and I say roughly...- Right.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05..between £250 and £350.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- OK. - And hopefully a lot more than that.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Oh, well, that would be good.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12But will the bidders be fighting over those Toby jugs at auction?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16We've got a really determined bidder at the back of the room here, Jack.
0:07:16 > 0:07:1890. Five. 100.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Only time will tell.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Jack continues our rummage in the bedroom.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26He pulls four framed landscapes
0:07:26 > 0:07:29by the artist B Ward from the back of a wardrobe.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32To Jack's surprise they turn out to be copies of originals,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36but Jonty still values them at a healthy £50 to £70
0:07:36 > 0:07:38so it's not all bad news.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We're off to a really good start here
0:07:40 > 0:07:43in Jack's delightful home,
0:07:43 > 0:07:49and there's lots of evidence around to show just how football mad he is.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Well, that's a nice thing to have, Jack,
0:07:53 > 0:07:59"Colburn Town Football Club 2008-2009, Club Man, Jack Elliott."
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- That's me!- And another three to go with it.- Certainly, yeah.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- So this is THE football team, is it? - This is the football team, yes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You are passionate about football, aren't you?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I certainly am. I've had many, many happy hours watching both teams.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- So how did that start?- I've always had an interest in football
0:08:17 > 0:08:22and I think now I've been watching or playing football for 69 years.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Good heavens above! You met your wife playing footie, didn't you?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30I certainly did. When I was about 18 I was selected to play
0:08:30 > 0:08:33for the Under 18s in the district.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37The first game, and I was playing on the wing when this girl was on
0:08:37 > 0:08:41the touchline, and at the end of the match she asked me
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- if I wanted to go to the cinema. - She dated you, then?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49She certainly did. It carried on for about three years and then we
0:08:49 > 0:08:53got married and we were married for 55 years before I lost her.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57And we travelled all over the world and enjoyed it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01So you lost your life companion and your travelling companion.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02I certainly did. Yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07I'm sure Joyce will be with us on the day we go to auction, making sure we get really good prices
0:09:07 > 0:09:10for everything that goes under the hammer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Shall we find Jonty and see what else he's found for us?- Certainly.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16You know, I think Joyce would be really proud of Jack
0:09:16 > 0:09:19and I do hope we can raise as much money as possible
0:09:19 > 0:09:21for all his chosen charities.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Whilst we've been chatting, Jonty continued his search.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26He spots a bookshelf
0:09:26 > 0:09:30filled with a complete set of The Encyclopaedia Britannica.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34They date from the 1880s and they were bought by Jack many years ago
0:09:34 > 0:09:36as a present for Joyce.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Jonty thinks that this set of 35 volumes, complete with original bookshelf,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44deserves to make upwards of £40 to £60 at auction.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Let's hope it makes a lot more.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Ah, Ruth?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Yeah?- I think I've found some buried treasure.- Oh, wow!- How about this?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- What's that, then? - Have you seen this?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I do actually, I remember that.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01My father bought it about 30 years or more ago at the local market.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Really?- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's a fob chain, although at the end of it,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07rather than having a pocket watch...
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Yeah.- ..we have a beautiful little sovereign holder.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17So, inside we have this lovely gold sovereign, Queen Victoria's head on it. There we go.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19And we should have a date on there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21There we go, 1889. There we go.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Oh, wow! I didn't realise it was that old.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Are there any more in there? - I'm afraid not, I'm afraid not!
0:10:26 > 0:10:30But not only have we got a gold plated sovereign holder,
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- but this is a lovely, solid, nine carat gold fob chain.- Oh, really?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39And every single link is marked to prove that it's gold.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Great. Fantastic.- Now, as far as value is concerned
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I think if we aimed at a low figure
0:10:44 > 0:10:47we're going to get everyone frothing at the mouth
0:10:47 > 0:10:51wanting to buy the gold, so it's a question of pitching it right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- So I think if we go in as low as £120 to £150...- OK.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59..then we should maybe even get up to £200 quite easily.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Oh, OK. That'd be good. - You happy about that?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Yeah. Might not put a smile on Queen Victoria's face,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06but it will on mine.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Well, that's the most important thing,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10and even more importantly, put a smile on Dad's face as well.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Exactly. - Excellent. OK, let's carry on.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Yeah, great.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19We're uncovering some fabulous items today in the house that Jack built.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It's a real testament to his construction skills.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24He put in plenty of storage space
0:11:24 > 0:11:27which he's certainly made the most of.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31The cupboards are filled with items that he no longer uses,
0:11:31 > 0:11:32like this old camera.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37In fact, it's just one of many that he bought when he was planning to take up photography.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Then he became more interested in buying cameras
0:11:40 > 0:11:43than taking photographs,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46so they're off to auction with a very affordable £20 to £30 price tag.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51In the dining room Jack's come across something that he hopes Jonty
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- is going to find of interest. - Jack, what have you got there?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Well, it's an old army belt from what I can believe.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- That's really interesting, isn't it? - I've received it off my Uncle Christopher
0:12:01 > 0:12:03who was in the First World War.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- It does look like a First World War belt, doesn't it?- It does.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09We've got a belt here with this lovely leather pouch, but clipped
0:12:09 > 0:12:13into the belt we've got all these cap badges. Did you collect these?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17No, I didn't collect them. They were on the belt when I acquired it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Really?- Except that one which I did have added
0:12:20 > 0:12:23from one of my relatives who was in the Black Watch.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Now, the interesting part about cap badges, the reason why we probably
0:12:27 > 0:12:30still have cap badges today is when armies were being formed,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33when they were developing, when they got larger
0:12:33 > 0:12:37people needed to identify who was who,
0:12:37 > 0:12:44so various groups had different metal in their caps or in their hats.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46They may be numbered, they maybe have some kind of symbol,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49but at least they could be identified on the battlefield.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52The belt has seen slightly better days,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55so it's the cap badges themselves that are desirable.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And, at auction we're looking, what? Between £30 and £40? Is that OK?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Oh, fine, fine, Jonty.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Excellent. Let's carry on searching.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08So, it's off to auction for the First World War belt and cap badges.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Hopefully they'll be victorious there in a battle of the bidders.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16As we continue to search Jack's home, Ruth has discovered
0:13:16 > 0:13:20a very fine gold pocket watch that was made by Thomas Russell and son.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It's a fine example of a full huntsman
0:13:23 > 0:13:25and it's not the only one that Ruth finds.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29There are four more that Jack's collected over the years.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Jonty's very impressed
0:13:31 > 0:13:35and thinks we'll easily reach his £250 to £350 estimate.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Having seen the amount of treasure that we found inside this extensive property,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I'm beginning to wonder if what Jack's built is a Tardis!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Jack, when I said right at the beginning
0:13:47 > 0:13:52this is the house that Jack built, you literally did build it
0:13:52 > 0:13:54from the foundations up, didn't you?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Because you bought the land... - Yes.- You designed it yourself?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- I did.- So, tell me about all the doors and the windows,
0:14:00 > 0:14:01because you made them, didn't you?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I made the doors and the windows,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07put the roof on, central heating, gas, everything.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Marry me, Jack!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I need somebody like you round the house.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I've been waiting for an offer like that!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Ruth, what did you think when your dad said he was going to do this?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well, to be honest, Angela, I don't think any of us were surprised
0:14:21 > 0:14:24because my father's always got to have a project.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26He just can't keep still.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29From the moment he gets up until he goes to bed he's busy all day long.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33We've now got two houses to choose from. Now, eenie meanee minee mo!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Which one shall we go and look at
0:14:35 > 0:14:38for some more things to take to auction? Ruth, it's your turn.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- OK, OK.- Lead on!
0:14:40 > 0:14:46Well, Jack really is a hugely talented family man and I know
0:14:46 > 0:14:50that he's been Fan Of The Year at his football club four times!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I wonder how many times he's been Father Of The Year?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56He certainly deserves it, his generosity knows no bounds.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00In the hallway Lynne spots two landscape pictures
0:15:00 > 0:15:04that she remembers hanging in her Great Aunt Nelly's house.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07They're prints of originals by the artist David Bates
0:15:07 > 0:15:10who had a successful career as a porcelain painter
0:15:10 > 0:15:11for Royal Worcester
0:15:11 > 0:15:13before making his name as a landscape artist.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19Jonty's view is that, sadly, prints aren't that fashionable any more,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22so his estimate is just £20 to £30.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Fortunately though, some things never go out of fashion.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So, what have we got in here, Jack?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Oh, hello, what's this?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Now, see, every small boy should have a train set.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Oh, and you've got more.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Crikey! A whole box of it here, look!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Is this all of yours, Jack?
0:15:41 > 0:15:47No, it was my son in law's and he actually passed it down to his son
0:15:47 > 0:15:49and now I think his son wants rid of it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53But I don't recognise that name at all. We should get Jonty to take a look at these.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Jonty, are you busy for a minute? Can you take a look at this?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58- Oh, look at that.- Yeah.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Now, let's have a look. Can I have a look at this first of all?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Because this looks very interesting, here.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08This is a German engine, which is very unusual.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13And Lima were known for making very unusual train sets.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18If you think about it, how commercial is a German diesel engine in Britain?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- I don't think very commercial at all. - I mean, we all know about Hornby.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Yes.- Because Hornby of course made famous train sets, didn't they?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Well, where market leaders go of course other people follow
0:16:29 > 0:16:31and Lima was a follower.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33They were in business for about 50 years.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36They started in 1950, but they've now gone out of business.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38The boxes have seen better days.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41So how much do you think we might get at auction?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44We're looking at between £80 and £120, how about that?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Oh, I think that'll be fine.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49We're on the right tracks, shall we see what else we can find?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Full steam ahead.- Yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- Let's go.- Thank you.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56We've found such a variety of items to take to auction, but with the day
0:16:56 > 0:17:01drawing to a close there's just time for the one last sweep of the house.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05- Jonty?- Yes?- We've got these.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- This lovely little clock.- Yes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- And we've got also another couple. - What do you know about the collection?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Not very much, except for my father bought them at a boot sale.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- And why did he buy them?- Because of the name, because they're made by Elliott & Son.- Ah!
0:17:20 > 0:17:23So the family name and that's the connection.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Is that a family member who made the clocks?- Sadly not.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Well, what we're looking at here
0:17:29 > 0:17:33is a little clock known as a carriage clock and all carriage clocks have a handle on the top.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38And as the name suggests, carriage clocks were designed to be transported around.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It was your own personal timepiece.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47Now, carriage clocks were so versatile, or so robust, that not only could you carry it this way,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- but you could also turn your clock upside down and it would still not miss a beat.- Oh, really?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- And it would still go?- Absolutely.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59They were very fashionable in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- But these, I think they're a little later...- Oh, OK.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Because most carriage clocks were a lot larger than this.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07So, if you can see, we've got our three here,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09you can see how similar they are in size,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13but a regular carriage clock, a period carriage clock,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15would be almost twice the size.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Now, the vast majority of them were made in France.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Ah!- So the movements more often than not were made in Paris.- Oh, OK.- So...
0:18:22 > 0:18:29And also made in France as well, but they were incredibly popular in the UK so a lot were exported to Britain.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- You're sure we can sell this collection?- Definitely.- Well, let's tell the others the good news.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Guys, come over here. Have a look at this.- What is it, Jonty?
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- It had better be something special because you've just interrupted us. - It's very important.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44We've got a collection of clocks to sell,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47estimate at auction between £140 and £180.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I think we've had a pretty good day today.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- Wonderful.- We've seen some lovely things and if we add that money
0:18:54 > 0:18:56to everything else that Jonty's looked at
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and we can conservatively take his lowest estimate on everything...
0:18:59 > 0:19:05Now, £800 was the amount you wanted to raise for the three organisations within the village.
0:19:05 > 0:19:12Well, I can tell you that we should be able to make £1,360!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Wow!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17That's incredible.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18That's not bad, is it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Not bad? Great!- Great, well done.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26We've had a delightful day in North Yorkshire with lifetime
0:19:26 > 0:19:30football fanatic Jack Elliott and his two daughters Ruth and Lynne.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33What an array of items we've amassed for auction.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37There's the magnificent gold and silver pocket watches.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39If the right buyers are in the room
0:19:39 > 0:19:43these could soar through their £250 to £350 estimate.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47The vast collection of character and Toby jugs.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Jack's wife loved them, we hope the bidders will.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54We're looking for upwards of their £250 pricetag.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59And who could forget the limited edition Carlton Ware punchbowl?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01The workmanship is truly stunning,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03but Jack paid more than Jonty's £300 estimate.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Will he make his money back on sale day?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Still to come on Cash In The Attic,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17there's delight as some of our items prove highly popular in the saleroom.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- That's what you call a belter of a result!- Yeah!
0:20:20 > 0:20:24And concern as to the desirability of others.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Did... Did you like them, girls?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I thought they were a bit, like, painting by numbers, personally.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33But if they do well today I might like them more.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Will we make our target?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Be there when the hammer falls.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Well, it's been quite a while since we met Jack and his lovely daughters
0:20:47 > 0:20:49in North Yorkshire and learnt of
0:20:49 > 0:20:54the sad death of his beloved wife, but also of his plan to be able to
0:20:54 > 0:20:59make a donation in her memory to some of the organisations with which she was involved.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01So, we've brought all of his things here today
0:21:01 > 0:21:03to Silverwoods in Clitheroe
0:21:03 > 0:21:09and we should be able to make that £800 target of his - and some, perhaps.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13This popular Lancashire auction house holds a sale of antiques,
0:21:13 > 0:21:19collectables and furniture once a month and it's usually very well attended.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22There seems to be an abundance of fine porcelain here today, which
0:21:22 > 0:21:28means that our fabulous Carlton Ware punchbowl will be in good company.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Henry and his wives! - He looks a happy little soul there, Angela.- He does.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Well, so he should with all those women around him.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36A nice piece for Jack to sell today.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Oh, yes. Really very good quality.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Estimate £300 to £400 in the catalogue, so I'm
0:21:40 > 0:21:44hoping because it's rare and unusual that it will do well for Jack today.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- Jack and his daughters have just arrived, shall we go and meet him? - Absolutely.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Tell him the good news about the bowl.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55So, Jonty has high expectations for both the punchbowl and the Toby jugs,
0:21:55 > 0:22:00and I hope he's right, because I'd love Jack to make as much money as he can.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05There are so many causes that have meant so much to him and, of course, his dear late wife.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Hi, Jack, Lynne and Ruth.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Well, you've just got minutes to go and that'll be the last time you'll see that.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- How are you feeling about today?- Oh, I'll be sorry to lose it, actually.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17But you have got some terrific things coming up today and you
0:22:17 > 0:22:19don't want to have to take any of them home with you, do you?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Not really, no.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Definitely not. - Especially the books!- Absolutely.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Well, the saleroom is beginning to fill up, so shall we go and take our
0:22:28 > 0:22:34places and keep fingers crossed for that £800 and some? Come on.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38It looks like we've got a full house today, which is great news.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44Already I've seen lots of people taking a close look at some of Jack's items, so let's hope that
0:22:44 > 0:22:47they put their hands in the air when they come up for sale.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50With resident auctioneer Wilf Mould in position and the sale underway
0:22:50 > 0:22:54we take up our positions in time for our first lot.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59It's the very elegant famille rose bowl made by Sampson Of Paris.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01£60 to £80 on it, Jonty.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07That's right. It's a very well travelled bowl. It was made in Paris, it's Chinese in style, rested its
0:23:07 > 0:23:12lovely self in Yorkshire and now we're selling it in Lancashire, so it's just very well travelled indeed.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15And who knows where it's going to go from here?
0:23:15 > 0:23:1630, then? 20 quickly. £20.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18£20 and two.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Oh, started at 20. Pretty low.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Anybody else then, now? At £20. And 22. Be quick then, now.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26All quite sure this time at £20?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28All done.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- That was a disappointment, wasn't it?- Well, it's all right. - You win some, you lose some.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Not the start we were hoping for,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37but Jack and the girls don't seem to upset.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I think we'll just bank the money and move on.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I can only assume that the porcelain buyers were saving their
0:23:43 > 0:23:47money for our next item, and what an item it is!
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Well, it's Henry coming up now, Henry VIII and his six wives,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54The auction room were hoping for good things from this.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Carlton Ware is a very collectable name
0:23:56 > 0:23:58and it's very rare to see this bowl come up.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I've seen it once or twice, but only once or twice, so it's great to see it coming up again.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Right, a bit of a rarity.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Who will start me at what for this one? £100 and straight in.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08100, any of you?
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- Straight in at 100, Jack. - 110. 110. 120. 130? 130. 140 now.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Going quickly.- 130 in the room.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17We're looking for 140. At 130.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19And 140 this time. 140. 150. 150.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23160. At 150 away at the very back.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26At 150. Where's 160 for this one?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- At £150. 160. 170.- In the middle of the room, new bidder.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32180. At £170 again at the back of the room.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We're nearly up to 200.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Plenty of room in this yet. At 170.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40We're looking at 180 now. All quite sure at £170?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Oh!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I'm disappointed by that.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48You thought it was going to make a lot more than that.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Yes, yes, absolutely. Very disappointed.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53It's fair to say that we had really high hopes for
0:24:53 > 0:24:57the magnificent punchbowl, but sadly it wasn't to be.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01I thought with all the porcelain here the collectors would be out in force.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05If not, then we could be in trouble with our next lot,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08the massive horde of Toby and character jugs.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Jack, your wife loved collecting Toby jugs, didn't she?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- She certainly did.- And you had an amazing collection of them.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17We've got 32 of them here today.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21The auction house has actually split them up into three lots.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27- But, Jonty, we're looking in total for at least £250, aren't we, for all of them?- That's right.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30That's the bare minimum we're hoping for, as well, so 250, 350.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32350 sounds better.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- It does. - Doesn't it, yeah?- Oh, definitely.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39- In three lots we might manage to get that.- That'd be good. - But keep your eye on it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Once the hammer comes down on the first one, the rest will come pretty quickly afterwards.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47There are 14 of these. Right, £30 for all the lot. 30 and straight in.
0:25:47 > 0:25:4930 bid, thank you. 30 and two.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52At £30. And 32 now for all the 14 together.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- At £30.- £30 for the jugs.
0:25:55 > 0:25:5832. 35. 38? 38.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01And 40 now? I've 38 up here. We're looking for 40 from anybody else.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04All done at £38.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05£38.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Start me at what for these? £80.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- £80 he's starting at.- 50, then?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Straight in at £50 this time, anywhere?
0:26:11 > 0:26:16£50 here. 50 bid. 50 and five. 60.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Five. 65. 70 now. £70. 75.
0:26:19 > 0:26:2180? At 75 at the back.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24We've got a determined bidder at the back of the room.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- 90. Five. 100.- He's still nodding.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30And ten. 120?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Now I've £110 at the back then.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34At £110 anybody else quickly now?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35All done at £110.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Thank you.- 110, that's good.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40110 for the second lot. The next lot coming up now.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Right, lot 43 and you have Henry VIII and six wives.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48There you go, all of the Royal Doulton character jugs in lot 43.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Start me at £100 again for this set.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52100, any of you?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- 100. 100 bid.- 100 we bid already.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58At £100. 110. 120. 130. 140.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01150. 160. 170? At 160 up here.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Yes!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06We're looking for 170. At £160.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Where is 170 this time then, now?
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Are you all quite sure? All done at £160. 7162.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14£308.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Oh, fantastic.- Good.- Well done.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19What a rollercoaster that was,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23but we hit the middle of Jonty's estimate in the end.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28There are sighs of relief all round as we have our first above estimate sale of the day.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34Well, let's see if we can keep the momentum going with our next lot, Jack's cameras.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Did he ever actually take any pictures with them?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Well, the thing is I never remember my father taking a single photograph
0:27:40 > 0:27:43and any photographs that were taken were never developed!
0:27:43 > 0:27:47I think he's got masses of rolls of undeveloped film.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Perhaps we should get them developed one day and put them in auction!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Right, start me at what? £20 for this little lot?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Straight in at 20. 15. 18. 18. £20.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58£20 and two. 22. 25. 25.
0:27:58 > 0:28:0128. Quick as a flash, come on.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04At £25. 28. Anybody else?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07At 25. And 28 this time. 28.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10£30. And two. At 30 with me.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- On the internet, they're bidding. - That's good.- At £30. And 32 online.
0:28:14 > 0:28:1832. 35 now. At £32 on the screen.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20It's going, all done.
0:28:20 > 0:28:27£32. £2 over the top estimate, sold to a buyer online.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It feels like we've hit our stride, but I'll be interesting to see
0:28:30 > 0:28:34how our next item fares because it's one of our more unusual lots.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37The military belt is coming up now, Jack.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Just remind who this belonged to.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43I think it was the great uncle's and he served in the First World War.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47And it's decorated with all sorts of sort of army and RAF badges.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Did you never try and kid the daughters that they were yours?
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Sometimes. I'd do anything for a laugh!
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Straight in at 30. Or 20, then? 20 bid. 22. 25. 28. £30. 32.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- 35. 38.- Going up.- At 38.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Lots of bidders, lots of bidders.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Two. Five. Eight. 50. Five. 60.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- At 55 here. At 55.- Listen to this!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Looking for 60 quickly. At 55. £60.
0:29:12 > 0:29:1565. £70? At 65.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Where's 70 now for this little lot?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19All done at £65, make no mistake.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21£65.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Jack!- Oh, wow!
0:29:23 > 0:29:25That's what you call a belter of a result!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Yeah. How about that?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30The belt belonging to Jack's great uncle
0:29:30 > 0:29:32sells for over twice its lower estimate.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36There must be plenty of militaria collectors in the room.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41After a disappointing start, perhaps fortunes are about to change.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Let's hope that the upward trend continues with our next lot,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47and it's one that has Jack's name written all over it.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Now, Jack this is the collection of your tiny little carriage clocks.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54When did you first start collecting these?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58I started collecting them when I first saw one at an auction sale...
0:29:58 > 0:30:03I collected it because it is made by Elliott Brothers.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Because Eliot is your family name.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07It would be nice to know if they were part of the same family.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I have no way of knowing.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11It would be nice if he was.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13£200 for the three.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15200 quickly any of you? 150 then?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17£50 apiece, can't be bad.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- 50... 150, rather. 150 bid. - We've got 150 already, Jack.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24At 150 in the corner. 160 here. 170.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27180. 190.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Great!- 200. 210. At 220, rather.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31220. 250. 280.
0:30:31 > 0:30:38- Oh, wow!- 280. 300. And 20. 320. 350.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42380. 400, sir. 400. And 20. 450.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46No, at 420 away in the corner.
0:30:46 > 0:30:52At £420. 450, new man. 480. 500.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- 500!- And 50. At £500.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Have another 50, your dad would.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58At £500.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00At 550 now. All done at £500.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03550. 550.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08600. At £550, are you all done?
0:31:08 > 0:31:13- At 550.- Wow!- They paid for the name!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16An astonishing result!
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Three times Jonty's top estimate!
0:31:18 > 0:31:24If that doesn't make up for our earlier disappointments, then I don't know what will.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Well, you wanted £800 and we are only halfway through.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32I think you're going to be able to give a few people quite a few
0:31:32 > 0:31:37nice surprises, because so far you've made £1,145.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- Thank you very much.- Oh, good!
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Is that like scoring a hat trick?
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- Lovely.- But we haven't finished, we're only halfway through,
0:31:50 > 0:31:56so we've got more to go. If you've been inspired by Jack's progress and you're thinking of heading to
0:31:56 > 0:31:59auction, then do remember that fees like commission
0:31:59 > 0:32:03may be added to your bill, so please do check the details with your local auction house
0:32:03 > 0:32:05first, to avoid any unwelcome surprises.
0:32:05 > 0:32:12Auction houses will sometimes give items low estimate as a means of enticing buyers and Jonty's found
0:32:12 > 0:32:16something in the catalogue that could be a good example of this.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18What's got your rapt attention there, Jonty?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20I'm just admiring this little screen.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I would suggest that this is an object that they would call
0:32:23 > 0:32:26traditionally in an auction room like this a little sleeper.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29In the catalogue it's estimated between £80 and £120,
0:32:29 > 0:32:33but the more you look at this object the more you get out of it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38This relief work here is soapstone, which was very typical of oriental works like this.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42The craftsmanship, the attention to detail, is exquisite, isn't it?
0:32:42 > 0:32:48It's quite extraordinary. If you look closely, have a look at this prunus tree here and it twists and it turns
0:32:48 > 0:32:54and here we see that we've got one bird suspended on the tree or sitting on the tree and one in flight.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58You say you think it's going to be a sleeper, what do you reckon it might make?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Well, it's 80 to 120 in the catalogue.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03I think that you could put a nought on the end of that.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05More like 800 to 1,200.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Wow!- But watch this space.
0:33:08 > 0:33:15We will. Well, Jonty wasn't wrong because that decorative screen sold for an incredible...
0:33:15 > 0:33:19£2,900.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24As the auction here in Lancashire continues, we retake our places just in time for the next lot.
0:33:24 > 0:33:31It's the model trains and track which Jonty valued at £80 to £120.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Something of a family affair, Lynne,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36because the train set that's coming up, this collection of
0:33:36 > 0:33:40OO gauge model railways, the Hornby and everything else, actually belongs to your son?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- Yes, it does, yes. - But you put a reserve on this.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46We have, yes, because it was his grandmother that bought it for him,
0:33:46 > 0:33:50so he doesn't want it to go for sort of less than she paid for it, really.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51- And the reserve is?- £80.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54OK, do we think we're going to make that, Jonty?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57That should be fine. I'm pleased that's all been sorted out because I thought
0:33:57 > 0:34:01the reserve was placed on there because Jack wanted to take them back home
0:34:01 > 0:34:03and play with them, but...
0:34:03 > 0:34:08And I'll start it straightaway at £80. £80. And 90. 85, rather.
0:34:08 > 0:34:1090. Five. 95 in the room. 95.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12And 100. At 95.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Where's 100 for this little lot?
0:34:14 > 0:34:17At 95 we're looking... 100. 110.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Online, 100.- At 120 if you want.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21120. 130, now?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24At 120 back of the room.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25At £120. And 130 this time.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- All done. 130. 140.- Still going up!
0:34:28 > 0:34:32140. 150 now? At £140. We're looking for 150 this time.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37- All done at 140.- Very good.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38- Yeah.- That's lovely.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41That was full steam ahead on that, wasn't it?
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Well done. That is such a great start to the second half.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48We know that Jack's already exceeded his target,
0:34:48 > 0:34:52but each sale will be adding more money to his great causes.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54So, how will this next lot do?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58It's the set of Victorian Encyclopaedia Britannicas
0:34:58 > 0:35:00with their original bookshelf.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- Who will start me at what for it? £100 for the outfit.- Oh, it's 100 for it!- 100 any of you?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06100? 80, then?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Well, go on, I'll take 50.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1250 bid. Five. 60. Five.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1470. Five.
0:35:14 > 0:35:1680. Five.
0:35:16 > 0:35:2190. 95. 100. And ten. 120. 130.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23I'm not taking them home!
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- No.- 140. 150 again.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28It'll do you good. 150.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30160. At 150 up here.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34At £150. All done at 150 this time.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Well, we had 40 to 60 on it so we've made more than double that, Jonty.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I'm really pleased about that.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I think Jack is, too.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46His lot are certainly popular here at the moment.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Next we've got the quartet of landscapes by the artist B Ward.
0:35:49 > 0:35:55When you stand them together side by side they make a panorama, so will the bidders like the view?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Did... Did you like them, girls?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I thought they were a bit like painting by numbers, personally.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03But if they do well today, I might like them more.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Exactly. Well, what have you put on these, Jonty?
0:36:06 > 0:36:11- Around £50. The lower end of the estimate is £50, so £50 to £70, that sort of area, hopefully.- OK.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Start me at £60 for the four. £60.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17That's still cheap at £60, isn't it?
0:36:17 > 0:36:1850, quickly? 30?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- £30?- Oh, come on!
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Two pairs of prints.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Go on, I'll take 20.
0:36:24 > 0:36:2720, any of you?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30£20, come on. What can you buy for £20?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Our luck's running out, Jack.- Yes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Any of you? ten I'm bid. ten and 12 if you like.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36At £10 bid. And 12 for these.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40At £12 bid. And £12 anybody else then, now? All quite sure?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42And a maiden bid of a tenner.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- A tenner.- Aww.- Disappointed?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48At least we're not taking them home.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51But you don't have to take them home.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53That was a bit disappointing,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56but hopefully we'll be back on track with the next lot.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58We have some more prints now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01This time a pair by the artist David Bates.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04The estimate £20 to £30.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Now, Jack, what we're selling now are the prints, which I think
0:37:08 > 0:37:11at one point you thought that they were original watercolours?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15I did, yes, but I've been told since that they're prints,
0:37:15 > 0:37:17but they're quite old prints, actually.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Well, therefore, you're reluctant to let them go now?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Not really.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25If the price was right I think I'd
0:37:25 > 0:37:27let them go all right.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Two nice prints for you there. £50 for the pair.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- 50 any of you? 30, then? - They're definitely worth that.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- They are. - 20 for the pair of Bates prints.
0:37:35 > 0:37:3720 bid. 20 and two.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39At £20. Where is 22 for these?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Oh, they're worth more than that.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47At £20 sat down. At £20. 22. 25. 28.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49At £25. And 28 now.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52At 25. And 28 be quick.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54All done at 25. And his number is...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Right in the middle, you said £20 to £30.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00But I would have loved to have more for you.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Yes.- But that's what they were worth, really, Jack, sorry.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06And it was bang in the middle of Jonty's estimate.
0:38:06 > 0:38:13To complete our day we have three lots in quick succession consisting of our gold and silver items.
0:38:13 > 0:38:19Now the auction house has decided to divide up our pocket watches into two separate lots, so we've got one
0:38:19 > 0:38:25for the silver watches, a second for the gold watches, plus our gold sovereign in case,
0:38:25 > 0:38:32and to finish off we have that magnificent nine carat gold chain now as a standalone piece.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36So, what's going to happen this time again is that it's going to be fast and furious,
0:38:36 > 0:38:38but hopefully what we're going to get is, what,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41something in the region of £350 in total for them?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- We should do, we should do. - Nice little package is this.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Start me at £120. 120, any of you? £100, then?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Come on, come on, come on, come on!
0:38:48 > 0:38:5070 bid. 70. And five.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53At £70. And 75. 75. £80. 85.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- And 90. 95. 100. 110.- Sounds good.
0:38:55 > 0:39:02120. 130. At 130. 140. 150.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04At 140 away right. At £140.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09- We're looking for 150 this time for this little lot. 150.- Online! 150.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13170 now. At £160 on the side.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16We're looking for 170, quickly. All done at 160.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19£160, wow!
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Here we go, here comes the next one.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24130 with me. 130. 140 now.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27I've a... 140. 150. 160.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29160 at the back of the room. 170.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31180. At 170.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34And 180 where else, then? At £170.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36And 180. 180 on the screen. 190.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40200 again. At £190.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41We're looking for 200 quickly.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46All done at 190. 200. 220.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- It's heart in the mouth stuff, isn't it?- It certainly is!
0:39:49 > 0:39:50250 it'll have to be.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53All done at £220.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Terrific!
