Welcome to Cash In The Attic. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
It's a tale of two countries today - England and India. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
It's a real eclectic mix of items. Find out what they are next. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
'Coming up on Cash In The Attic, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
'a valuable lesson in Indian tradition for Paul.' | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
Anything that's in 13s is lucky and anything that's cracked is unlucky? | 0:00:38 | 0:00:43 | |
My life is very unlucky! | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
'Our young helper's advice is a step too far for the lady of the house.' | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
-Take a leaf out of his book. -It's not his money! -A good point. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |
'And a packed auction brings us a surprising result.' | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
How's that? | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
£70! | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
'Find out what happens when the hammer falls.' | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
I'm in Luton to meet a lady who wants to raise some money | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
for a few additions to her home. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
'Indian-born Banoo Petit first came to England with her husband Phil | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
'in the early 1960s, settling in Luton and going on to have two sons. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
'Sadly, in 2008, Phil passed away and, after a career as a seamstress, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
'Banoo retired. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
'She's proud of her heritage, which has roots in both India and Iran. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
'She enjoys sharing her experiences with 11-year-old grandson, Anish. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
'Living in Scotland, he's a regular visitor to the house, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
'which, according to Banoo, might be in need of a bit of TLC. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
'Having such a fascinating history | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
'makes me think she'll have plenty of items of interest. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
'With many years of experience in antiques and collectables, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
'who better to guide us than Mr Paul Hayes?' | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
-Do you need a referee? -Yes, please. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
-WHISTLES -Full time. Come on in. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Hello, what a lovely garden. You're Banoo? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-Yes. -Anish? -Anish. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-Who called Cash In The Attic? -I did. -Why did you have us in? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
I just want to do the outside of the house and decorate it a bit better, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
so that my children say, "Mum, you're living in a nice house." | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
I also want to raise some money for the window replacement. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
-How much do you want to raise? -I need more than 500, but I'll be quite happy with 500. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:39 | |
You've drafted in some young talent. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-Anish, are you interested in antiques? -Yeah, I love antiques. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
I like the stuff from the olden days that my dad and uncle played with. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:51 | |
And I love things from foreign countries. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
So, £500 is what we want to raise. Is he a hard worker? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
Well...sometimes. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Most times he's quite lazy! But he does help me a lot. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
We're not going to have any laziness today. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
-Paul in there would have our guts for garters. Ready? -Yes. -Follow me. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
'Banoo has lived in this comfortable and orderly house for over 40 years. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
'There's tantalising evidence of her heritage everywhere you look. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
'Paul may already be serving up our first item.' | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
-There's Paul. -Ah, hello. -Hi. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-I've made a start already. -Are you making dinner? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
There'll be a lot of dinner for three! | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
This is lovely. It's a type of tray, not so much a plate. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:46 | |
In Iran, we have the food in the middle. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
Four or five people sit round. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
All we do is bring it forward, whatever we want. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
And eat it. Not in abundance, just a little at a time. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Nobody feels, "He's having more. I'm having less." It's evenly divided. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
Wonderful engravings. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
I often think this is so underrated. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Imagine the length of time | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
it's taken to put these designs on. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
It's the golden age of the Raj - 1890s, 1920s. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
This represents the garden of paradise. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
India, Persia, that sort of region was very barren. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
To have lush plants, gardens and animals | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
was only for the wealthy, the Shahs. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
This floral decoration | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
is harping back to luxury. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
-The elephant indicates more about India. -Elephants and cows. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
You've got the garden of plenty. It's a great thing to have. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
I think it's wonderful. They actually engrave the surface | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
then rub it with a black ink to give it definition. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
In this condition, they're fantastic. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
They're a type of occasional table. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-You set the legs up and use it when you liked. -How much is it worth? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
-It looks SO exotic. -It is. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
The sad thing is, somebody's spent hours and hours on these, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
but there are lots and lots of them around. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
If I said around the £50 mark? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
-How does that sound? -That's fine. -You sure you want to let it go? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
-There must be sentimental value. -No. My father is gone. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
My husband is gone. Soon I will be gone! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
-And the boys don't want to have it! -You haven't got a violin to sell? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
'That's not a bad start. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
'It's good to see Banoo firmly focused on that £500 auction target. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
'Anish discovers a bit of Boy's Own nostalgia with a family connection.' | 0:05:42 | 0:05:48 | |
-Ah, now, Anish. -Hi. -These are good. -Yeah. -Whose were these? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
My dad and my uncle. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
-They're still in good condition for playing with. -These are 1970s. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:01 | |
A bit like my age, I suppose. Did you play with similar things? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:07 | |
No. PlayStation and football. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
People buy these because they're trying to remember their childhood. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
I can remember toys like this. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
The basic concept with Action Men is that they always had blue eyes. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:22 | |
Always had a scar on his cheek. He was copied from the American GI Joe. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
You'd have the army, navy, the pilots, the aircraft, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
the Jeeps, mountaineering. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
There's a massive collecting area. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
The Jeep looks in excellent condition. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
-What happened to this? -The paint's been scraped off. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
Somebody's given it a paint job. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
-If I said £20 to £40, how does that sound? -Good. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
'Will there be a battle when those Action Men go under the hammer?' | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
-< 12, 15, 18... -There you go! | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
28. 30. 32. 35. 38. 40... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
'Find out later if they're victorious at auction!' | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
Thank you both for that. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
'Paul's got his eagle eyes on another choice collectable, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
'this set of three vintage walking sticks. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
'A carved pair from the 1930s, which Banoo picked up in Nepal. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
'Plus a more modern but impressive onyx example she found in Egypt. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
'There's a keen collector's market for antique sticks. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
'We're hoping these will walk out of the saleroom. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
'We've got plenty of work ahead, but I want to catch up | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
'with our fascinating host.' | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
-I know you came from India. Whereabouts? -From Bombay, but it is called now Mumbai. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:45 | |
-Beautiful part of the world. -It is. Yes. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
How many brothers and sisters did you have? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
-Five sisters and two brothers. -That is a big family! | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
My father wanted a boy at the end so he kept trying! | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
What sort of lifestyle did you have? Your father was an entrepreneur. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
We had a very good life. Never went hungry. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-What did your dad do? -Well, he had three restaurants and three cafes. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
Then he started having American free style wrestling. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
He brought those people down to... from America to India. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
He started all sorts of things before he passed away. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
-He died very early. -How did you meet your husband? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
He lived two buildings away from our house. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
He used to come and play table tennis in our house. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
And I just fell in love with him. We got married very soon. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
You came to London on honeymoon. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:45 | |
My father bought us a ticket for the ship. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
It took us 12 days to reach England. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
And, um... We decided to stay here. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
Do you miss living in India or are you really settled here? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
I used to miss, but not now. I'm quite happy here. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
My family is here now. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
We're going to learn more about you and your culture. That means we'd better get back to some work. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:14 | |
'Banoo gets stuck back into the search | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
'and unearths an impressive reminder of her extensive travels. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
'This lovely garnet necklace came from an antique shop | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
'in Egypt in the 1980s. Paul hopes it'll make... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
'Anish may only be 11, but has a good eye for collectables. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
'This model steam tractor engine by the British Mamod toy company | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
'was an unusual gift for Banoo in the 1960s. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
'Paul values it at...' | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
-There we are. -What have you got? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
-Come in the middle. -This was given from my father to us. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:59 | |
Whenever I went to India, every time I came back, I got something. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
In '63, I got this. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
We could use these as finger bowls, but because it's so pretty | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
I didn't want to spoil it. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Then I thought of using it for starters, peanuts, cashew nuts. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:18 | |
Then I thought it might stain, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
so it's just lying in the cupboard. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
So these are as-new condition. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
You've got this gold-plating, 22-carat. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
Also, what they've done with the silver, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
they used an acid to give a powder effect. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
That's highly polished. Then this wonderful soft interior. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
I like that, that matt design. Very clever, like a frosting effect. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
Good for ice cream! | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
These are definitely silver. Silver IP - Indian Purity. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:54 | |
Lots of them were made from German coins. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
They were melted down and made into silver items. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
To sell it as silver has to come up to a standard. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
In India, they have 80% pure. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Here in the UK, we have 92.5% | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
so it's a bit lesser grade than British silver. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-How many have you got? -12. Everything in our country, 12 or 13. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
12 I can understand. 13? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
13 is a lucky number in our country. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Everything we buy is in 13s. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
I've learnt something else today. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
-Are we going to be lucky with this? -I think we are. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
Silver's doing particularly well, especially a dozen-set. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
So if I said £10, £15 each... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Yes. 150 reserve, and maybe more. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
'Banoo is quite a tough cookie and that's good, | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
'but we'll need all the luck we can get to reach our £500 target. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
'but he then finds this stylish lady's watch, | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
'given to Banoo as an anniversary gift by her late husband. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
'This dates from the early 1980s and Paul thinks that with this name, | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
'plus being plated with 9-carat gold, we could wind up with...' | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
'Also going to auction | 0:12:17 | 0:12:18 | |
'is this collection of art nouveau metal plaques | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
'set as one item. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
'Depicting fairies and other creatures, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
'we're hoping it'll conjure up...' | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-Paul? -Uh-huh. -What do you think of this? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
That's very attractive, isn't it? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
-Is this the best china? -Yes, for special occasions. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
With my friends from London. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
We use these sort of things, dinner plates | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
and side plates, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
-but not the dishes itself, the dinner dishes. -Right. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
-So you have some dinner dishes as well. -Yes, the dinner plates. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
-How many have we got? -13. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
People do often buy dinner services in 13. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
If you break one, you've got one left. Like a baker's dozen. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:12 | |
There would be 12 cups and saucers. What happened to the other one? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
Apparently, one broke. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
If there is a breakage in the house, we throw it away because that's unlucky. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:25 | |
-I'm learning every day. 13's lucky. Anything cracked is unlucky. -Yes. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
My life is very unlucky at the moment! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
You have 11 cups and saucers. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
The way they're sold is called a trio. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
So you have a cup, a saucer and a side plate. That's called a trio. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
This was developed in 1973. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
A firm called Royal Doulton and the pattern's called Harlow. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
The royal blue and the gold is very nice. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
There's not too much design on it. It's very elegant. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
If I was being realistic, if I said around the £100 mark...? | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
-Is that all right with you? -I'll take a chance. -Well, let's put the kettle on. -OK. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:13 | |
'Hang on a minute. There's no time for refreshments. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
'We appear to be doing well. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
'I'm hoping a final push will turn up something seriously valuable.' | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Oh, hello! Quality! Quality! | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
That was given to all my sisters and brothers, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:31 | |
from my father. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
He said you can do what you like with it, | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
put it in a ring or a necklace. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-I decided on a bracelet. -Why do you have gold given to you? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Mostly they give it to the girls in case they have a divorce. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
-The girls can sell the gold. -It looks like our sovereign. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
-Do you know who this is represented on the front? -The Shah of Iran. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
-And on the back? -It's the flag of Iran. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
-A lion with a sword in his hand. -I've never seen one like this. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
It's very similar to our sovereign, which would be the King of the day. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:09 | |
In our case, Queen Victoria, King George. In this, the Shah. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
So this will be 22-carat gold | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
and instantly recognisable anywhere in the world. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
You could trade this in. It's worth its weight in gold. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
How much is it worth? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
How does that sound? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
I would rather go for £400 to £500. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-Does that mean you want to take this to auction or think about it? -I'll have to think about it. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:39 | |
It probably has more family value than monetary value we can realise. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
That's about it. We've had a great day. Some really fascinating items. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
I've learnt lots of things today about Iranian culture. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
We've done quite well because, if we do bring the coin to the auction, | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
we reckon, conservatively, we could raise up to £750. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
-How do you feel about that? -Puts you over your target. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
But that doesn't mean I can let go something like that. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:12 | |
OK. So maybe £550. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
Which is still over the target. I like the way he thinks. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
He's the optimist. Take a leaf out of his book, Grandma. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-It's not his money! -That's a very good point as well. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
-Anyway, best of luck. -Thank you. -And it's off to auction. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
'Not a bad day's work, but I think Banoo still needs convincing about the value of some of her items, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:38 | |
'not least that gold coin - more of that later. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
'At least £150 we're hoping for that set of Indian silver bowls. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
'A gift from Banoo's parents, will they shine in the saleroom? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
'The Royal Doulton tea set has been in the family for over 40 years. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:59 | |
'And this garnet necklace, given to Banoo on her wedding anniversary. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:06 | |
'Let's hope the bidders think it's as beautiful as we do. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:12 | |
'Still to come on Cash In The Attic, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
'some impressive bidding gets the thumbs up from Banoo.' | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
£20 over your reserve. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
That's fantastic! Fantastic result! | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
'But will one item make an unwelcome return?' | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
I don't want to take it back! | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
'Find out when the final hammer falls. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
We had a great day in Luton. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Not only did we find interesting items, we also learnt about Banoo's Persian culture. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:48 | |
She's hoping to raise £500 for her new windows. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
So we've brought her items to TW Gaze Auctioneers. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
Let's hope for a bit of luck as they go under the hammer. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
'This saleroom is at Diss on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
'There's plenty of bidders keen to bag the best lots | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
'Paul and I find Banoo outside, having a browse.' | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
-There you are, outside! -Are you buying something for the garden? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
-No. -We don't want any buying. We are selling today. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-Are we missing one? Where's the little one? -Oh! | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
He is in school. He lives in Glasgow so he couldn't make it. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
What a good boy. The big question is did you bring that gold guinea? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:35 | |
N-no. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
That's fair enough, but it does mean we have got our work cut out. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
-We have. -Never mind. We'd better whiz inside. Come on. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
'That's a blow, but Banoo has an eclectic mix of interesting pieces. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
'Let's hope the bidders are interested in what she's offering. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
'As we take our places, first up is that group of Action Men, | 0:18:57 | 0:19:03 | |
'once much loved by Banoo's son, but hopefully going to a good home.' | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
Starting at £10. Ten I have. Who's at 12? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-It's 12. 15. 18. 20... -There you go. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
..25. 28. 30. 32. 35. 38. 40... | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
..50. Five. 60. Five. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
70. 70's on commission. 70 I have. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
Is there five? We'll sell and away for £70... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-How good was that? -£70! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
'Who would have thought it? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
'It goes to show there's a keen market for childhood collectables. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
'Perhaps we won't miss that gold coin after all. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
'Next under the hammer is that intriguing set of walking sticks.' | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
Three walking sticks. We're looking for £20 to £30. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
15? £10 and start me there. Ten I have. Ten. 12. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
15 is bid. Where's the 18? | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
It's 15 for the walking sticks. We will sell at the £15. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
Are we all done...? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-Oh, well. -Disappointing that one, Paul. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
-I thought they'd walk out the saleroom. -They limped. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Someone needs a caning. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
'We don't advocate violence, but we were hoping they'd do better.' | 0:20:19 | 0:20:24 | |
Up next, we've got the brass table. You like this table. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
Yes, I do like this table. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
It's a lovely table here at £15. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
It is here to go for £15. Is there £15? | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Ten to get on, then? Anyone at all for £10? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
No. Going to pass that one by. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
It's such a nice table. You'd hate to see that go for £10. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
-I don't want it back! -Oh, dear! | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
I don't want to take it back. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
'That beautiful piece does deserve to sell for a decent price. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:01 | |
'Today's bidders aren't quite biting yet. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
'I wonder if we can stoke up some interest with this lot.' | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
It's not often you come to an auction to find a steam engine! | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
This is a model but this saleroom has a big section outside where they sell that sort of thing. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:20 | |
That should appeal to these buyers. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
40. 40 I have. Are you two, sir? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
42 behind. Are we five? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
One more, sir? 45. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
Are you eight? It's a good example. 45 I have. We sell at 45... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
-That's great! -Fantastic! | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
They like their toys around here. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
'That's £5 over Paul's estimate | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
'and a much-needed boost for our total. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
'We're now looking for serious bidding if we're going to make serious money. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
'So can the art nouveau plaque hit its estimate?' | 0:21:56 | 0:22:01 | |
40? £30 to get on. It's an interesting piece. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
30 I have. Who's the two? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-32. 35. 38. 40. Two. -Yes! | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
45. 48. 50. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
Five. We sell at 55... | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
Yes! Very good! | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
-Would that have been expensive when you bought it? -No. £15. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:27 | |
-That's made a profit. Love profit! -Excellent. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
'A profit is what we need on all our items | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
'if we're to reach our target. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
At the halfway point, we've made £185. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
'Not bad, but with a £500 target, the only way is up. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
'Like Banoo, if you're thinking of heading to auction | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
'remember that commission and other charges may apply, so check with the saleroom first. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
'Next lot, the Royal Doulton dinner service | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
'which we're hoping will make...' | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
£70 will start me. A good Doulton name. 70 is bid. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
Who's the five? 75. 80. Five. 90. Five. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
95 I have. Where's the 100? | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
100. 110. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
Selling at £110... | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
'Great result. After a low-key first half, we could be in with a chance. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:26 | |
'This next lot will really need to do well.' | 0:23:26 | 0:23:32 | |
A nice wrist watch, a Gucci one | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
Do you not wear it? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:35 | |
Not so much any more. It's just in the box with the guarantee in it. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:41 | |
I put this in at £100 to £150. Nice to have its box with it. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
It's very funky, very modern. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
-Let's hope a lady here takes a shine to it. -Yes. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
£50 and start me. A Gucci watch for £50. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
55. 60. Five. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
70. Five. 80. Five. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
At 85 and we'll go... | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Ooh! 85's a good price, I think, for that. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
'£15 under estimate isn't a disaster but there's still a way to go | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
'if Banoo's to get new windows. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
'Will this next lot give our auction some much needed sparkle? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
'It's the garnet necklace and we're hoping for at least...' | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
It's a good necklace here at £70. 75. 80. Five. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
90. Five. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
-Is there 100? The bid's 95. -Away they go. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
95... | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
-How do you feel about that? -All right. -Ooh. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
That face says it all. Come and have a cuddle. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
'Not quite the result we wanted, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
'but Banoo shouldn't be too downhearted. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
'I'm hoping we could finish with a flourish.' | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
Last up, the big item. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
I really like these silver Indian bowls. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-There is a reserve on this, isn't there? -Yes. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
The lowest end of my estimate, £150 reserve. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
It's the bowls here at 110. 120. 130. 140. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
150. 160. 160 I have. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
Is there 70? Good bowls here for 160. 170 new bidder. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
Where's 80? We sell at 170... | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
That's £20 over your reserve. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Fantastic. Fantastic result. What a result! | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
'It's lovely to see a big smile from Banoo. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
'Those bowls proved a tasty treasure for one bidder. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
'The question is, have we reached our target?' | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
-That's the end of the day. Have you enjoyed yourself? -Yes. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
Two handsome men and me in the middle! I have enjoyed myself. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
You wanted to raise how much? £500? | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
You wanted to do some work at your house. I think you'll have some good work done. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:47 | |
-The grand total today is £645. -Ooh! | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
-No. I can't believe it. Really? With my two items not gone? -Yeah. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:55 | |
-How good is that? -Very good. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
You've got a little bounce in your step. £645. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
-Have you enjoyed yourself? -I have. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
'A few weeks after the auction and Banoo's put the money | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
'towards some home improvements. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
'This is how her house looked. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
'And here it is with double-glazed windows finally installed.' | 0:26:19 | 0:26:24 | |
I think the windows look very nice. The house looks bright and open. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
I'm pleased with them, and the money helped a lot. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
If you want to raise some money for something special | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
and you think you might have hidden treasures, why don't you apply to be on the show? | 0:26:40 | 0:26:45 | |
