MUSIC: Wild Ones by Flo Rida featuring Sia | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
Today, we've come to a menagerie in the heart of the city, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
London Zoo, home to animals of all shapes and sizes and, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
incredibly, a collection of listed | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
buildings by some of Britain's most distinguished architects. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Flog It!. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
MUSIC: London Calling by The Clash | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
'In almost 200 years of the zoo's history, some of Britain's | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
'best-known architects have contributed to its design.' | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
The London Zoological Society opened its gardens to members only. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Thankfully, today it's open to everyone. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Hundreds of people have come from far and wide to see our experts today. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Wild-at-heart, Thomas Plant is going on the hunt for some exotic collectables. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
-Are you excited about Flog It!? -Yes, I am. -Ha-ha-ha-ha! | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Well, I hope we come up with a good valuation for you | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
and your five pounds' investment will be marvellous. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
'And just like Noah and the Ark, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
'Will Axon's bringing in his items two by two.' | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
They're quite nicely done in a way, aren't they? | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
'Right, we're all raring to go, so let's see what Thomas has found. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
Well, John, I hope my valuation is going to be good enough | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
for you to not throw me to the lions. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
They look pretty asleep right now. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
-No, they're not ready for food yet. -Not really, no. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Tell me, why did you bring this camera along today? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Well, I've done quite a bit of research with it | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
and what I've found out, I can't find another one another one | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
to match it up or even to price it up at all. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
So, I thought it would be a good idea to come here. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
So, let's be clear, this is a Ducati 35mm range-view camera. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
It's made in Italy, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
and like all things Italian, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
it's extremely compact and actually quite beautiful to look at. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-Isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
And this being a Ducati, it's known as the Italian Leica. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
And Leica are, like, the seminal camera people. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
This company produced this very small camera | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
for a very small amount of time. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
That's why you didn't find many on the internet | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
or your research of working out have these cameras sold before. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
You type in Leica to a search engine, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
it will come up with reams of them. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Yeah, mostly lenses, I found. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Lots of lenses. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
This is a body, this does have a lens here, which can be changed. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
-It does come off. -Yes. Yeah, it does come off completely. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Now, tell me, how have you got it? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Well, about four years ago my uncle died and we cleared out his place, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
and then what we've done with all his stuff, all in a box, put it in the loft. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
And then, in January this year, we've done our loft insulation | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
and we came across it again. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
That's when I noticed the name Ducati on it. I decided, hmm, they make motorbikes not cameras, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
so I decided to check them out. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
And, funnily enough, yes, I found that they made cameras as well. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
You know, way back in the 1930s or something. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
'30s, '40s, then we have the war, and from about '46 to about '53, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-and when this one was made. And this is the Ducati Songo. -Songo, yes. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
-Songo, which means dream. -Dream? I didn't realise that what it meant. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
-Now, value. This is why we're here. -Mm-hmm. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
As I said, I've mentioned Leica , you know, the godfather of all | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
camera production, and I said this is the Italian Leica. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
It is a rare camera. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
They do not come up very often for auction. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
But, there is a little bit of corrosion on the button here. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
The shutter is not working, but there's a cloth shutter, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
they do deteriorate. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Saying that, I would believe a sensible estimate | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
would be £800-£1,200, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
and I'd like to fix reserve round about 600. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
What do you think? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
That sounds OK. 600's a good reserve, yeah. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
Reserve at six, but we'll put it at £800-£1,200 as the estimate. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
Try and build up the interest. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Yes, quite happy with that. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
MUSIC: Girls On Film by Duran Duran | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Next up, Will's been poring over this jug, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
brought in by print artist, Rita. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Rita, I recognise what you brought | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
in straight away from across the room. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
It's a piece of Dalton Lambeth, isn't it? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Yes, that's right. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
Now, the thing I don't know is exactly who it's by, designer-wise. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Now, you're going to tell me, aren't you? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
You done a bit of research on this, haven't you? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Well, I have, but already I did know who it was by, because of his name. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
He's got his initials actually on the item itself. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
You're right. The initials on the jug itself. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
It's George Tinworth, probably one of the most famous designers working for Dalton. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
Established originally at the Lambeth School of Art, | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
alongside those other well-known names like Hannah, Barlow, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-all the Barlow sisters, so, a well-known name in this sort of field. -Yes. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
We've got the Dalton Lambeth stamp there. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
We've also got it dated there, 1880, which is handy. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
And then, actually, Tinworth's mark is actually in the decoration, isn't it? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
-Yes, it's very difficult to find. -There it is, there. -Yes. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
So, we've got the interlocked TG. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Tinworth is a good name, very well collected. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
This kind of muted colour | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-and the way it's decorated is quite typical of the time. -Is it? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
Dalton were known for these slightly sort of subdued colours, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
whereas other art firms, such as Minton and so on, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
-tended to be a bit brighter, a bit brasher. -Yes, yes. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
But that's, again, part of the appeal. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-It doesn't, sort of, necessarily clash terribly. -No. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
You could see that fitting in quite nicely in a, sort of, modern | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
contemporary interior without, you know, shouting too loudly at you. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-Yes. -Do you have any idea what you think it might be worth? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
No, I didn't and that was... I'm very, very keen to find out. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
Er, you know, it can either be almost thousands or nothing. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-Yeah, that gives me a nice wide range to work with. -Absolutely. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
I have no idea... I mean, I know it's important, but that's all. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
I mean, I see it around that sort of 250 mark. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
250, that sort of figure. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Let's put it in at £200-£300. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Fix that reserve at £200, and I reckon it'll do sort of 250, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
300, that sort of figure. How do you feel at that? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
-It's OK. -Yeah? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
I hope it goes to somebody who really appreciates Dalton Lambeth. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
Well, Rita, it's obvious from talking to you that you | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
really appreciate the artistic merit on something like this, | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
and I'm hoping there's going to be two or three people | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
at the auction that feel the same way. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
It's out of our hands, it's all down to the auctioneer now. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
I look forward to it. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
How did you come by them? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
There were given to myself and my late husband 37 years | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
ago by a gentleman who was a warden of a National Scout Campsite. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
Why did he give you two spears? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
I think he was having a bit of a clear-out, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
asked David and I if we would like them, | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
and we said yes and, er, we used them as | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
decoration in our living room. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
I had this romantic opinion... | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
that Bert, your Scout friend, um, | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
these were in the shed, kicking about, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
and these have actually been brought back from South Africa | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
by an older scout. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Not Bert himself, but, you know, maybe someone who knew | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
Baden Powell. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:14 | |
Maybe, you know, he was at the Siege of Mafeking, you know. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Or had done all those things. Do you know what I mean? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Yes, I do. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |
Cos these are probably from South Africa | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
and they most look like they are going to be from the Zulu tribe. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
They had three weapons. They had their shield. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
They had this, the stabbing spear. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
And they had a throwing spear and sometimes a club. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
Because they're so thin, they needed to keep them behind the shield, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-and sometimes you see the shields with the weapons all sticking out, don't you. -Yes. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
And so, these would come behind the shield | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
and they be able to hold it all in one hand, and the other hand | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
to do things with, as you know - throw the spear or just carry on. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
What caught my eye, I have to say, is this lovely rushing here. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:54 | |
Putting this blade on to the shaft itself, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
and this rush-work is just absolutely delightful. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
Realistically, we've got to think, "What are they worth?" | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Erm, they're not going to make a huge amount, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
but I'd like to set a typical auctioneer's estimate. £80-£120. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
-80-120. That's what I thought you would say, actually. -Do you mind? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
No, not at all. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
I know it's a big cop-out. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-Erm, regarding reserve, about £40, if that's all right. -Right, OK. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
If we do all right with them, I mean, you know, are going to buy more weapons? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
Certainly not. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
We're going to put it towards a house move. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-Oh, really? -Yes. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:28 | |
Where are you moving? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
We love Derbyshire, but we can't go as far as that because my son | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
and daughter are expecting my second grandchild today. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-She's in labour now. -Oh, really?! -Yes. -Well, this is very exciting. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-And you're here? -Yes. -And we're here. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Well, that's probably quite a good thing. I mean, they don't, you know... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
-So, erm... -Granny can come later. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
We don't want to go too far away from them and they live in Hatfield. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
And are you a granny, grandma, or Nana, or what are you? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-I'm called Nannykins. -Nannykins. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Oh, that's sweet. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
Well, I hope we'll do very well for you and good luck with today. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |

First up, let's see if Janet | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
and Heather's Zulu spears hit their mark. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Well, we got a fixed reserve of £40 and I know, Thomas, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
you held your hands up at the valuation and said, | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
"I don't take anything about spears." I don't blame you, because nor do I. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
But I'll tell you something, they will sell at £40, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
so you don't have to take them back on the tube train. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
Which is what I don't want to do. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-No, you do not want to be doing that, do you? -No, no. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
I would like them to move on to somebody who would be able to | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
appreciate them more now. | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
-OK, well, tribal art is very collectable. -Right. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
Hopefully, we'll find a home for them right now. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Here we go, this is it, look. This is exciting. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |

And, John, it's great to see you again. I really like the camera. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
We had a chat to William, our auctioneer, at the preview day. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
He liked it a lot, as well. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
I mean, it is quality and they didn't make that many of them. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-No, very rare. -And they didn't sell that well, either. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
So, that's why they went into transport, particularly motorbikes. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |

It's going under the hammer right now. This is it, good luck. Good luck, John. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |

So close, so close. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:50 | |
A couple of bids away, really. You got a couple of options here. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
You can have a word with the auctioneer after the sale, | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
see if he can find the underbidder. He might know who he is because of | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
his registration number - | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
and maybe you could sell it at that price. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
What a shame, but it got just goes to show you can never tell | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
what's going to happen when you're in an auction room. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |

George Tinworth Dalton jug belonging to Rita, | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
and has to go because the cat | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
might damage it. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
I still keep it on the shelf, but behind another vase. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
This sort of high, up there? | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
So, so the cat can't... It gets up there, though, does he? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Quite high. Much higher than a door, so, I suppose, about seven foot. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Come on, let's get this sold. Let's get it away from Stripes. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
160 is the George Tinworth jug. Let's start this at £150. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |

Someone on the phone there, look. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:47 | |
Maybe he's thinking, to a colleague, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
"Yes, I'm in the room, I'll buy it for you." | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |

In the doorway at 200. Anybody else want to come in, then? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
I'm going to sell it. For £200 it goes. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
BANGS GAVEL | 0:13:02 | 0:13:03 | |
It's gone. £200. The hammer's gone down, Rita. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
-Right. -It's gone. -Right. Aw, I'm sad. -Say goodbye...oh! | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
I knew you would be. I knew you would be. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
I hope they like it as much as I liked it. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
Like we explained at the valuation day, whoever's buying these things | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
is buying them because they want them. So, at least you know you know it's going to someone who's made | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
a conscious decision that he wants it. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
So, it's not like, you know, you're not letting it, sort of, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
go to the dogs, as it were. Whoever bought it... | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
No, it'll be safe, at least. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
At £90, it's going. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |

Marie wants to generate some pocket money for her granddaughter | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
and her great-granddaughter. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
You ask any jewellery dealer and they will tell you that brooches are one of the harder pieces to sell, | 0:13:41 | 0:13:47 | |
because you don't see people out and about wearing brooches. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-You see me. -Really? You wear brooches? -I have, yes. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
I got a brooch, I think, on every jacket and coat that I own. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
Tell me about these. Do these sit in your jewellery box at home? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
Yes, they've sat in that box, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
-oh, I should think a good 30 years or more. -No. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-Yeah, I've never worn them. -Have you bought them? Were they a gift to you? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
They were a gift from my aunt. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
I went to Malta about 30 years ago | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
and I had an aunt who lived over there, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
and she said I want to give you something for you to remember me by, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
and she gave me that one, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
and I think those two were my mother's. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
-We see a lot of these, what we would call, sweetheart brooches. -Yes. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
Sort of late 19th century, that sort of the period, but a lot of them - | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
usually coming out of Birmingham Assay Office - are made in silver. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
-Really? -What's nice about these is the fact that they're in gold, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
with these, I would imagine, semiprecious stones. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
Just makes a little bit, sort of, more special. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
You know why gold is popular at the moment, do you? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
Yes, cos when is it still high up in price. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
Yeah. The demand across the world and the globe for these | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
sort of things is high, so therefore, that's why we can | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
put quite a, sort of, generous figure on them, I would've thought. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
I think we should put a figure in sort of around the £100 mark. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
How do you feel about that? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
Yes. Erm, just 100? | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
I'd like to put them in to put them in at, sort of, £80-£120, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
and fix the reserve at £80. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
-80? -Yeah. -Right. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
And I think going to do well, because they're small, | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
they got value as per what they're made of - the gold, obviously - and they're pretty enough. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
You know, someone might really take a shine to them | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
-and think, "Well, I'll have those and I'll actually use them and wear them." -Right. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
-Are you happy at that sort of a figure? -Yes. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
Do you think you granddaughter and great-granddaughter will be happy, or are we going to have to | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
-phone them up and check? -Oh, I think so. -Yeah? I'll see you there, Marie. -Thank you. -Not at all. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
MUSIC: Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
'Next, Thomas takes a view on Mike's pastel landscape.' | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
I'm not great on pastel pictures. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-I have to put that caveat in before we start to look it yours. -OK. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
But I believe you've done a bit of work on this. Is that right? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
A little bit of research. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
I inherited it from my late father and asked my wife | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
if she'd like to put on the wall. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
She declined. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
So I thought, "We'll look it up, see if we can find..." | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
-And it does have a name... -Umm-hmm | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
-..which we think is Bernard Sickert. -Umm-hmm . | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
So, I looked him up and there's not an awful lot of his work, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
but he is the brother of Walter Sickert. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Correct. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
Beyond that, I don't know much more. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
No, and there's three years difference between them. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
Walter Sickert is 1860, Bernard is 1863. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
Walter Sickert is, you know, a famous British artist, | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
part of that Camden Town group, | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
that sort of British impressionism. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
The genre of people, of life going on. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
This could be his brother. I mean, his father was an artist as well. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
They did work in pastel colours. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
The pastel is in the right palate. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
Actually, it's a wonderful picture, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
As in, you look at it from afar, | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
you actually get the feeling of the fields, the farmhouse. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
It's been done by quite a confident hand. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
This big, large tree here. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
This outline, the pencil and then the filling in... | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
It's not been done by a happy amateur. Do you know what I mean? | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
I do. Yes, I like it. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
All things being equal, does it make it a valuable picture? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
The answer is, being a Bernard Sickert, no. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
If it was Walter, thousands of pounds. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
Sure. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:26 | |
There are records of Bernard's work coming up for sale. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
It's not signed. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:30 | |
I would say £150, £200. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
Reserve it at 120. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
Sounds good. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
-Do you think so? -Yes, yes. -You want to give it a go? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
I do want to give it a go. I'd love to flog it, because my wife won't allow it, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:43 | |
and therefore, | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
I'll use the money to take her out for lunch. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
A good lunch. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Well, you know, if it only gets 50 quid... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
If it doesn't sell... | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
It might not... | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Sure. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
Can I recommend one thing? That maybe - maybe - it might, sort of, | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
get hung in your house. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
-I'd get a better mount for it first. -Yes, yes. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
And actually frame it, and, actually, it would probably look rather good. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
I think my wife could be swayed by you. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
-You really think so? -Well, I hope so. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:12 | |
Well, I don't know. Maybe she'll come to the auction? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
I hope so, but, then again, it might sell. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
MUSIC: Jungle Fever by Roy Hamilton | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
'Well, I don't know about jungle fever, but when it comes to | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
'collecting bargains, Eva here is a terminal case.' | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
So, Eva, I understand from talking to you that these | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
are something that you've picked up from a car-boot. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Tell me, is that something you do regularly? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
Are you always on the look for antiques at the car-boot sales? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
Erm, yes, yes, because interesting, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
and I'm always learning something. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
-You're right there. -And because, after, I am checking the internet | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
and there's lots of new information. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
Exactly. Well, you've obviously brought along here, what we can see | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
-in front of us, a Christmas tin here from 1914 and also a selection of medals. -Yeah. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:06 | |
Now, looking at these, can I ask you what you paid for them? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-About -£10. Yes? -And £9. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
-OK. -Yeah. -So, you've done all right there, I think, yes. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
Well, let's talk about them separately. As you say, Christmas tin. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
These were produced, er, Princess Mary, there was | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
an advert in the national press | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
and they were asking for donations, cos what they wanted to do | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
was to reward people who were in the army fighting overseas, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:33 | |
just to give them a little something from home. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
And so many donations were given, | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
that they had a lot of money to spend. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
So, what they decided to do, was produce these Christmas tins | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
-and they used to put little treats them. -Yeah. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
Occasionally, you see them and they still have the contents completely intact. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
-Yeah. -What they had in them depended on who you were. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
If you were a smoker... | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
-Yeah, smoker, if, er, some tobacco or a pipe. -Exactly, right. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
You're dead right, yes. Tobacco and a pipe. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
If you were one of the young boys who had signed up... | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
Some sweets, biscuits... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Exactly. And if you were in the Indian Army? | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
Sweet and spices. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-Yes, yes, yes. -Exactly, sweets and spices. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
So, these were greatly received by the soldiers on the front, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
cos it was a hard battle. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
It was a hard battle. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
Yeah, and it was nice things. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
So, that's the Christmas tin, and the medals themselves... | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
Medals are an interesting area of collecting in antiques. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
They can do very well indeed, | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
but what people are buying isn't necessarily just the medals. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
They want a story behind the medals. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
They want to know who were they awarded to, why were they awarded to them, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:41 | |
at what battle were they awarded and how original are they. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
Now, I've had a look at these and the first thing that catches my eye | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
- they've done a little sneaky trick here - | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
if I turn that one over, you can see they're actually the same medal. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
-Yes, same medal. Yeah. -So, that's been reproduced. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
So, they wouldn't have been awarded to the same person. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
So, already I'm thinking, "Hang on a minute, I think | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
"we may have a little bit of a mismatch here." | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
All right. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
Also, the ribbons themselves. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-Can you see the ribbons here? -Yeah. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
These all represent different, er, troops, different battles, erm... | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
So, each medal itself has a distinctive ribbon. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
-Now, this ribbon is the right ribbon. -Yeah. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
That goes with that victory medal. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
-This ribbon does not belong with this medal. -All right. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
So, that's something that the serious collector is going to | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
pick up on that, and that will devalue them somewhat. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Moving along, we've got a...that's got the right ribbon on it here. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
And if you look on the side here, can you see where we've got an inscription? | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
Yeah. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
2347, Private WSG Insall, | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
-Hereford Regiment. -Yes. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
-And this? -OK. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
So, that should match what's on the side of this one. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
And it doesn't. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
So, they've been awarded to two different people. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
That's very important as well. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
And looking at that one again, that one isn't inscribed at all. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-Yeah. -That's a little bit unusual. Usually, they're inscribed. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
So, I mean, they're a reasonable little group | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
and if someone was interested in starting a collection, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
this would be a good area to start at, because, you know, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
some groups of medals can make, you know, thousands of pounds. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
I mean, if you've got a Victoria Cross, for example, then, you know, the sky's the limit for those, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:20 | |
because they were awarded for very specific acts of courage in battle and so on. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
So, we know you paid for them. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
You've done little bit of research. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
What do you think they're worth now? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
-No idea. -No idea. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
Well, I think you're going to have a...I think they're worth | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
more than you've paid for them, to be honest. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-If you would be happy to put them in auction at, say, £40-£60? -Mmm-hmm. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
-How does that sound to you? -Hmmm. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:42 | |
-It's not a bad return on a £9 outlay. -Yeah. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Well, nine and ten, you're 19, so... | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
I think I will try the auction. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
Excellent. And what's the money going to go towards? Are you going to put it in your pocket | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
and head towards the Guildford car-boot again? | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
-Yeah, I will. I will go, yeah. -Excellent. -Yeah, of course. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Well, listen, Eva, I'm pretty sure that at the auction we're going to sell them for you. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |

Well, going under the hammer right now. We have three gold sweetheart brooches | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
that belong to Marie, and it's great to see you again. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
-Thank you. -Did you wear them? | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
No. They've always been in my box, because I'd always said that | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-I would give them to my granddaughter. -OK. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
Well, let's put that will to the test when its valued, shall we? | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
Let's see what they're worth in the auction room today. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
-Here we go, look. They're going under the hammer now. -Can I look happy? -Yeah, go on. Watch this. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
Lot 295 is a yellow metal filigree brooch. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
It would appear they do test for gold and interest in the lot. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
I've got £60, 65 I'll take. £60, 65, 70. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
-75. -Creeping up. -80. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
£85 there in the blue. At 85. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
-90 at the doorway. -Ooh, fresh bidder now. -95. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
-Lovely. -Are you bidding 100? 100. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Ah, that's nice. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:01 | |
110. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
120. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
-Smashing, this is, really. -120, then. Thank you for the bid. 120. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
130 here. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
-Oh, dear. -You see! You didn't like them but somebody else did. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
160. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
160 in the gallery, then. At £160. 160. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
BANGS GAVEL | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
Sold to someone up in the gallery up there. £160. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
That's great. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
'Now, our penultimate item of the day is this family heirloom. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
'Mike's pastel landscape painting.' | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
Why do you want to sell this anyway? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
I inherited it from my late father | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
and, um, my wife suggested it went auction, because it hadn't | 0:24:36 | 0:24:41 | |
-been put up and had been lying there for five years unhung, so... -OK. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
-Framed? Not framed, either. -Well, it's not a question... | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
I don't know if she likes it, so, er, hard to get it past the missus. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
OK, it's got to go. Let's put it to the test. Here we go. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
Lot 400 is this pastel, attributed to Bernard Sickert. £60 to start it. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
£60 I'm bid. 65. 70. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
With me at £75. I'll take 80, though. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
At £75, not quite enough. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
At 75. Anybody else? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
£75 it is, then. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
Not sold, I'm afraid. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:11 | |
-It's going home. -It's going home. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
-I think you've got to remount it. -I think so. -I think it's a remount. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Remount, frame it and put on the wall. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
'Well, every cloud has a silver lining, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
'although I'm not sure Mike's wife will agree.' | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
'At the preview day, I met up with Will, our auctioneer, | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
'to discuss our next lot.' | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
Do you know this group of medals | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
and this Princess Mary Christmas box Eva got at a car-boot sale? | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
-Guess how much. -No idea. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:38 | |
£10. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:39 | |
-That's not bad. -We had a valuation put on by Will of about £40-£60, | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
so it's definitely a come-and-buy-me. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
Christmas box is worth that alone. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Obviously, if it had its chocolate and its tobacco and cigarettes, | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
it would be worth a couple of hundred pounds in better condition, but obviously it's empty. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
But, what about the medals? What I want to know is, | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
in the catalogue we've got a revised estimate. Is that right? Of around £100? | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
We've put up the estimate just because, like you say, | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
the cigarette boxes worth a few pounds on its own | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
and then you got this group of medals which, | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
even individually, even if you just say they're worth £20 each... | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
So, we've now got a revised estimate. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
-It's now printed in the catalogue... -100-200. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
..not at £40-60, but at £100-200. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
Well, that's a good start already, isn't it? And they haven't even gone under the hammer. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
Whatever you do, keep watching. We're about to put them to the test. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
90 there. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
95. 100. 110 it is, then. At 110. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
BANGS GAVEL | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
If you're interested in making money, ask Eva, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-because she knows how to do it. -Yes. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
-Well, you will do in a moment, won't you? -Yes, I am. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
Turning £10, hopefully, into £100-£200. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
-I know, originally, Will put on at £40-£60. -That's right. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
The auctioneers had a look at them and thought, "Let's up that estimate to £100-200." | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
-Oh! -Did you know that? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
-You didn't know that, did you? -No, just fingers crossed. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
I think the auctioneer spotted a couple of medals in there. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
I think there's an Italian aviation one. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
-So, hopefully, that'll be a nice return, won't it? -Very nice. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
Did you know what you were looking at at all? Or did you just think, | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
-"Well, actually, I like the medals. They look decorative and pretty. I'll have them."? -Yeah. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
-It was that, really, was it? And the tin? -The tin is, yes. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Well, good luck both of you, | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
because I think this is going to be a great result. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
Let's find out with the bidders think. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
I'm bid 30 straightaway. 32, 35, 38, | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
40, 42, 45... | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Well, we're starting low, but we're getting there. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
..55, 60, 65, 70... | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
They can take all day as long as I'm concerned. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
..80, 85, 90... | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
..95, 100, | 0:27:32 | 0:27:33 | |
-Oh, we're there, look. -Wow! Eva! | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
£100, at £100. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:36 | |
At £100 I'm going to sell it, then. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
£100. It goes at 100. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
BANGS GAVEL | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
-That's what we like to see. -Yes. -Well done, you. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
-I'm very happy, thank you so much. -Well spotted. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
What's that, are you going to buy some | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
-more stuff now at the car-boot? Reinvest? -I will! | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
120 there. 130. 140. 150. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |

Another day in the office for Flog It!. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
And I tell you what, we had our work cut out there, didn't we. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
It was touch and go in places. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:04 | |
A few highs and a few lows, but that's what auctions are all about. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
It's not an exact science, putting a value on an antique, | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
as you've just seen. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:12 | |
Join us next time for many more surprises, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
but, until then, from all of us here at Chiswick, it's goodbye. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 |
