:00:35. > :00:45.And it boasts 39 colleges, including this one, Christchurch,
:00:46. > :00:56.which is right opposite our venue for today - Oxford Town Hall.
:00:57. > :00:59.The good and the great have been educated at Oxford.
:01:00. > :01:01.Just listen to this for an impressive list.
:01:02. > :01:11.But our two experts who are going to use their knowledge
:01:12. > :01:14.and educate the good people of Oxford on antiques
:01:15. > :01:32.Not a lot. It has been sitting in my cabinet for years.
:01:33. > :01:41.So it has been passed down through the family? Yes.
:01:42. > :01:45.And is there any foreign connection in your family?
:01:46. > :01:51.My husband looked on the Internet for this and I believe it's French.
:01:52. > :01:55.That's right. I understand you've done a little bit of research on it
:01:56. > :01:58.and you have come up with the name of the French firm, Christofle,
:01:59. > :02:12.Now, those marks under the foot I know can sometimes be misleading.
:02:13. > :02:19.They can lead you to suspect that the mounts on this jug are silver.
:02:20. > :02:34.Obviously that's going to affect on the value.
:02:35. > :02:39.It's crisply moulded. It's decorative.
:02:40. > :02:45.You've got these fine sort of scrolling acanthus moulded handle.
:02:46. > :02:48.And the glass itself - I think the firm and Baccarat perhaps had a kind
:02:49. > :02:53.of connection there, so this could well be a Baccarat crystal glass.
:02:54. > :02:58.Another good quality high-end French maker of glass.
:02:59. > :03:01.But back to this piece. It's a jug, obviously.
:03:02. > :03:06.And I suspect perhaps a claret jug, to decant red wine into.
:03:07. > :03:33.Have you had it valued? I know you did some research.
:03:34. > :03:41.So it didn't put a price so we have no idea.
:03:42. > :03:59.Because it is silver plate we're going to have to bear that in mind.
:04:00. > :04:07.Would you be happy with that? That sounds fair. OK.
:04:08. > :04:11.If we try it in the auction, we will put an estimate of 100-150.
:04:12. > :04:22.we might have some French wine drinkers in the saleroom.
:04:23. > :04:25.Fingers crossed. And we will sell it for you.
:04:26. > :04:38.Hello, Rosalind. Hello, Mark. Nice to see you here in Oxford.
:04:39. > :04:50.I moved into my house in Oxford in 1991
:04:51. > :04:54.and there were several interesting things in the house when I moved in.
:04:55. > :04:59.This was one of them and it reminded me of the days when we had a pub
:05:00. > :05:09.So you had a little shop attached? A little shop attached to the pub.
:05:10. > :05:11.You could do your shopping... And have a beer?
:05:12. > :05:14.And have a beer at the same time. That is a very canny idea, isn't it?
:05:15. > :05:18.Wonderful, yes. And what did you used to call these?
:05:19. > :05:24.Because of the five bars of chocolate. Yes, yes.
:05:25. > :05:28.Wonderful. Basically, what we've got is an advertising piece.
:05:29. > :05:47.And you've also got a name. It was obviously given as a gift, in 1894.
:05:48. > :05:50.Yes. So it is actually quite an early piece of Fry's memorabilia,
:05:51. > :05:56.Have you any idea of what it might be worth?
:05:57. > :06:07.is it worth anything or not? I think it is worth something.
:06:08. > :06:23.I would have thought it's only around ?30-?40 but who knows?
:06:24. > :06:27.In auction, it might go for a bit more. Are you happy to put it in?
:06:28. > :06:38.And let's hope that, as they used to say in the advert, that it's full of
:06:39. > :06:42.Eastern promise in the saleroom and we might get a good price for it.
:06:43. > :06:52.Well, that would be nice. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mark.
:06:53. > :06:55.Linda, thank you for coming along today. Thank you.
:06:56. > :07:08.And obviously, during the war, carried them round with her.
:07:09. > :07:25.They are not English, they're Continental, German in fact.
:07:26. > :07:29.And if we open the rather tatty little box, but none the less...
:07:30. > :07:35.You've still got the original little information booklet there.
:07:36. > :07:43.decorations on the cards, shall we say, and just
:07:44. > :07:48.flicking through these, they are delicately drawn and coloured.
:07:49. > :07:53.They seem more subtle and less fearful than modern tarot cards.
:07:54. > :08:06.Basically, an enemy. An enemy. Oh dear. That's the snake.
:08:07. > :08:14.I'm not sure with the actual readings.
:08:15. > :08:43.I've found out a little bit online and managed to get back to 1930.
:08:44. > :08:55.I think value-wise, you're probably looking in the region of ?20-?30,
:08:56. > :09:04.I didn't actually think they were worth that much. Really?
:09:05. > :09:09.If we can try them at the auction at that sort of estimate, ?20-?30,
:09:10. > :09:13.and really, at that level I would advise not putting a reserve on.
:09:14. > :09:20.I know the box is a bit tatty and everyone says how important that is,
:09:21. > :09:47.Nice to see you. I gather you've had quite a lot of driving today.
:09:48. > :10:00.More importantly, for bringing this rather interesting plaque with you.
:10:01. > :10:07.And I know your name is Thomas Shaw, so obviously a family connection.
:10:08. > :10:28.so I thought I'd bring it up and see how it went.
:10:29. > :10:32.Wonderful. Did you find out why Thomas Shaw was awarded it?
:10:33. > :10:35.He was a wool expert from London, England.
:10:36. > :10:37.I believe something was going on in Australia
:10:38. > :10:54.This is where it is interesting because you get
:10:55. > :10:57.a lot of these plaques from the 19th century particularly.
:10:58. > :11:20.attended these international conferences.
:11:21. > :11:29.Purely because it's Victoria, obviously, in Australia. Australia.
:11:30. > :11:41.Having said all that, you've also got a book that mentions
:11:42. > :12:00.I've been assured that the saleroom we're using uses the Internet,
:12:01. > :12:21.Now, it might be that in a specialist sale it might make more.
:12:22. > :12:25.But if the auction house does the job right and attracts those buyers,
:12:26. > :12:28.we might find we've got a sleeper. You never know, I suppose.
:12:29. > :12:32.Exactly. If we get two rich Australians who want it, and
:12:33. > :12:35.I think we probably will attract interest from Australia.
:12:36. > :12:47.So I'm glad you've done that and we would love to put it in the show.
:12:48. > :12:51.I look forward to seeing you at the auction. You too.
:12:52. > :12:54.Well, we have something for everybody in today's auction.
:12:55. > :13:08.Can anyone predict how well the German tarot cards will do?
:13:09. > :13:15.And there's a lovely bit of family history with Tom Shaw's medallion.
:13:16. > :13:19.For our auction today we're in a beautiful part of the countryside.
:13:20. > :13:22.We're in Watlington, just outside of Oxford.
:13:23. > :13:30.Will we hit the top end of our experts' valuations?
:13:31. > :13:51.A set of tarot cards. They belonged to Linda.
:13:52. > :13:54.They were her mum's, who had them during the war.
:13:55. > :13:58.It's a complete set and our experts have put ?20-?30 on them.
:13:59. > :14:01.I think that's a good, sensible value.
:14:02. > :14:12.?30, no problem. What are your predictions?
:14:13. > :14:14.Well...is there anybody there? The table's moving!
:14:15. > :14:28.So first to wield the gavel is Simon's colleague, Francis Ogley.
:14:29. > :14:43.And I hope you're right. It's a good name.
:14:44. > :14:52.I'm hoping it will go, because you can still use it.
:14:53. > :14:55.It's got the look, hasn't it? It really does have the look.
:14:56. > :15:00.What I want to know is, good question, why are you flogging this?
:15:01. > :15:12.The cut-glass and plated mount claret jug by Christofle, 11 inches.
:15:13. > :15:46.That's what reserves are for. We protect it.
:15:47. > :16:02.So far, so good. We're certainly raising the temperature in the room.
:16:03. > :16:05.It's so hot, our next lot just might melt.
:16:06. > :16:09.It's that chocolate book of nursery rhymes brought in by Rosalind.
:16:10. > :16:12.Not a great deal of value, but it's so lovely, it's charming.
:16:13. > :16:36.I hope we get the top end of that estimate. Mark? Will we do it?
:16:37. > :16:39.I love this item. And I hope it makes way above the top estimate.
:16:40. > :16:45.Secretly, that's what I'm praying for. It would be nice.
:16:46. > :16:53.The talking's over. It's up to the bidders.
:16:54. > :16:57.This is a novelty book, formed as a block of J Fry's chocolate.
:16:58. > :17:02.Chocolate surprise nursery rhymes. ?30? ?25 I'm bid. 28, anywhere?
:17:03. > :17:22.?55, and ?50 then, right in the corner, at ?50, all done at 50.
:17:23. > :17:28.That's not bad, is it? It was the top end of the estimate, you know?
:17:29. > :17:37.That's the all-important question on Flog It.
:17:38. > :18:09.So they haven't told you anything yet? Not really.
:18:10. > :18:19.Erm, general span. OK. Come on - and, and?
:18:20. > :18:21.What were the predictions? We are all dying to know.
:18:22. > :18:31.Double top estimate - that's what we want.
:18:32. > :18:41.The fortune-telling cards or tarot cards, if you prefer.
:18:42. > :18:48.Come on... 10, then, to start me. ?10 I am bid.
:18:49. > :19:00.You didn't get the prediction I wanted.
:19:01. > :19:02.You must have drawn the card upside down, I think.
:19:03. > :19:05.Isn't that how it works? Yes, it must be.
:19:06. > :19:18.And I've just been joined by young Tom Shaw, here.
:19:19. > :19:20.You got up at 6 o'clock this morning.
:19:21. > :19:24.Yes, had quite a long drive from South Wales.
:19:25. > :19:27.He's got here in the nick of time. Most of the Flog It owners
:19:28. > :19:31.live in the area but you've come a long way. So good on you.
:19:32. > :19:33.I had a chat to the auctioneer.
:19:34. > :19:37.He doesn't quite see Mark's valuation, 2-3.
:19:38. > :19:40.The trouble is, I actually agree with the auctioneer.
:19:41. > :19:56.I would hang on to this, if I were you.
:19:57. > :19:59.I was thinking that myself as I was coming up here.
:20:00. > :20:10.Thomas Shaw, the wool expert. What can we say for that?
:20:11. > :20:21.?100, then. 50, I'm bid. 50, 55, 60, at ?65 then, anywhere, ?60?
:20:22. > :20:25.At ?60? 70, ?70, then, are you all happy at ?70?
:20:26. > :20:41.I would love to own something like that.
:20:42. > :20:44.Yes, quite special with my name as well. Was thinking on the way up.
:20:45. > :20:51.I'm happy to take it home. No doubt.
:20:52. > :20:59.Don't forget, there's more auction action later on in the show but one
:21:00. > :21:02.of the lots we've just sold was a set of tarot cards.
:21:03. > :21:05.Now, I don't know anything about them, but I do believe in them.
:21:06. > :21:09.So now is my chance to go and find out more.
:21:10. > :21:11.Mention the word "tarot" and people conjure up images of
:21:12. > :21:16.mystical tarot card readings conducted by fortune-tellers.
:21:17. > :21:19.One of the foremost experts in the country is Cilla Conway,
:21:20. > :21:24.who hopefully can dispel some of the myth associated with tarot.
:21:25. > :21:27.Cilla, thank you for taking time out to talk to us today.
:21:28. > :21:30.What are the general misconceptions of tarot?
:21:31. > :21:33.Basically, that they're the Devil's Picture Book.
:21:34. > :21:52.The tarot is often thought of as the royal road into the unconscious.
:21:53. > :21:56.There's an Italian river tributary, Taro. T-A-R-0.
:21:57. > :22:04.What dates are we talking about? It was about 1379,
:22:05. > :22:09.but probably they were around for 50 years, at least, before that.
:22:10. > :22:13.We know about them because they were condemned from a pulpit,
:22:14. > :22:15.saying they were evil and should not be used.
:22:16. > :22:19.What about playing a part in religion, because I know the Church
:22:20. > :22:25.The church actually did us quite a favour
:22:26. > :22:36.Even now Church people are so anti-tarot.
:22:37. > :22:45.It's the first one you look at, and I'm looking down there.
:22:46. > :23:00.The ways it's panned out, people don't read it as death,
:23:01. > :23:03.they may read it as the death of something.
:23:04. > :23:10.Change that's either forced on you or that you choose.
:23:11. > :23:15.If you think the original packs were 40 years on from the Black Death,
:23:16. > :23:21.so it's not really surprising that death figures quite largely.
:23:22. > :23:23.Yes. And has the artwork changed much?
:23:24. > :23:28.The original packs were done on wood blocks.
:23:29. > :23:42.but the meanings and the suits and everything remain much as they were.
:23:43. > :23:46.Cups, or chalices, have now transmogrified into hearts
:23:47. > :23:50.and all the four suits are similar like that.
:23:51. > :23:53.So you've got spades which were swords,
:23:54. > :23:58.discs or pentacles, which were the diamonds
:23:59. > :24:02.and batons, which might have related to peasants, for example.
:24:03. > :24:06.You've also done your own artwork on a tarot card.
:24:07. > :24:16.I went looking for packs and I thought they were too crude.
:24:17. > :24:29.Then one evening I was doodling and found this fool, this card,
:24:30. > :24:33.appearing on my pad in front of me, and I thought, "Wow."
:24:34. > :24:46.In actual fact, we think that playing cards appropriated the fool.
:24:47. > :25:00.They will work from the cards through their own intuition completely,
:25:01. > :25:03.so they'll begin with the cards as a starting point.
:25:04. > :25:07.Some people, and I'm one of them, will work only through the cards
:25:08. > :25:11.and it'll be what the cards represent that I put into the reading.
:25:12. > :25:20.Well, you've singled out four decks you've brought along.
:25:21. > :25:26.Can you give me a brief overview of each one and maybe cut the cards.
:25:27. > :25:32.1415 or thereabouts, the Visconti tarot.
:25:33. > :25:36.Very beautiful, full of illuminated manuscript, gold, whatever.
:25:37. > :25:40.I've cut it at judgement, which is actually quite interesting.
:25:41. > :25:46.Very Christian iconography of the angels calling the dead,
:25:47. > :25:51.God above the angels and the people coming out of the graves.
:25:52. > :25:56.This is like a call for a new life, you might see it as.
:25:57. > :26:01.This one is the Thoth pack, painted in the 1940s by Lady Freda Harris
:26:02. > :26:03.for the arch-magician, Aleister Crowley.
:26:04. > :26:08.Very powerful deck, a lot of people don't like it
:26:09. > :26:11.because it has a very particular angle.
:26:12. > :26:14.You need quite a lot of study to be able to use it.
:26:15. > :26:20.This one is quite a good one to look at, the five of swords.
:26:21. > :26:27.The feeling it gives me is about despair, deceit, feeling despondent.
:26:28. > :26:30.That sort of thing. OK. The next deck...
:26:31. > :26:42.A kind of celebration, happiness, marriage...
:26:43. > :26:48.The support of friends would all come into that card,
:26:49. > :26:51.and sometimes, just sometimes, a triangular relationship.
:26:52. > :26:53.Lastly, the very small deck you've got.
:26:54. > :26:58.This is the Ryder-Waite, it's a sort of industry standard now.
:26:59. > :27:03.It was painted by Pamela Coleman in around 1910.
:27:04. > :27:11.Basically, beautiful pack to use, really, really direct.
:27:12. > :27:15.This one, which I've chosen, three wands.
:27:16. > :27:18.The wands are all about creativity and intuition.
:27:19. > :27:21.You've got somebody looking out and thinking about what his next move is.
:27:22. > :27:31.or he's thinking about how he could work with some new idea he's got.
:27:32. > :27:43.Hopefully, we've dispelled some of those preconceptions.
:27:44. > :27:53.Well, we've got father and son today, Neville and Josh.
:27:54. > :27:57.Can you tell us a little bit about it?
:27:58. > :28:00.I can. It belongs to my father, Josh's grandfather.
:28:01. > :28:04.My Dad bought it at a household sale in about 1958
:28:05. > :28:07.for the princely sum of five shillings.
:28:08. > :28:13.and he took the back off it and there was a grey hair across the mechanism.
:28:14. > :28:15.He removed it and it started ticking away
:28:16. > :28:19.and ticked quite faithfully for another 30 years until it stopped.
:28:20. > :28:26.and does everything it should do now.
:28:27. > :28:29.Five shillings was quite a lot of money in 1958. It was.
:28:30. > :28:32.Do you know what five shillings is? No, I'm not really sure.
:28:33. > :28:39.25p. Way before your time, Josh. Yeah, yeah.
:28:40. > :28:48.I wanted to find an interesting item that somebody would like.
:28:49. > :28:52.And be part of the show. Yeah. Let's have a little look at the clock now.
:28:53. > :28:55.What I liked about it was this rather nice oval case.
:28:56. > :28:59.That's the first thing that looked rather nice about it.
:29:00. > :29:02.When you actually open it and take out the movement,
:29:03. > :29:05.you've really got quite a basic travelling clock.
:29:06. > :29:09.I understand you can set the alarm on it.
:29:10. > :29:12.You can set the alarm for whatever time you wish to be alarmed at.
:29:13. > :29:16.When it does alarm, unfortunately, it alarms until the spring has run down.
:29:17. > :29:24.You don't set the alarm. You don't set the alarm.
:29:25. > :29:29.If we take the back off, we can see exactly what it does here.
:29:30. > :29:34.what the movement of the clock is, an eight-day timepiece.
:29:35. > :29:38.We've also got a fitted key, so we've got everything we need there.
:29:39. > :29:49.anything about it till the other week.
:29:50. > :29:53.I found he got it repaired and all sorts like that.
:29:54. > :29:58.It's been locked away in the cupboard. A bit of a waste, really.
:29:59. > :30:01.It's better to give it to someone who's gonna appreciate it.
:30:02. > :30:05.Yeah. Well, I like it. I think if we were putting it in for auction,
:30:06. > :30:09.we'd have to bear in mind there's a little bit of damage on the case.
:30:10. > :30:12.I think that could be repaired, it's such a nice case.
:30:13. > :30:26.We don't want to give it away on the day. Would you be happy with that?
:30:27. > :30:36.I certainly would be. I look forward to seeing you both at the auction.
:30:37. > :30:50.They are very collectible. But this is extremely collectible.
:30:51. > :31:00.My sister-in-law was clearing out and she said, "Can you make use of this?"
:31:01. > :31:12.Then I couldn't get the slider to work,
:31:13. > :31:17.Did you try and research its history or find out what it does?
:31:18. > :31:25.And you've left it there for how long? A couple or three years.
:31:26. > :31:29.Did your sister-in-law have connections with the brewery trade?
:31:30. > :31:39.It's called the Skid Stick. I'm sure they'd love this.
:31:40. > :31:48.The only reason I know it's related to the brewery industry
:31:49. > :31:50.is because when you pull this one out,
:31:51. > :31:55.it can measure and gauge ale, wine, malt and cider.
:31:56. > :32:02.But I do know it's related to the brewery industry
:32:03. > :32:03.because of what it tells me on there.
:32:04. > :32:08.Incidentally, inside one of them, if I slide that one open,
:32:09. > :32:26.I'd put this somewhere around circa 1870 to 1890.
:32:27. > :32:29.Somebody's done that deliberately, maybe to deceive,
:32:30. > :32:31.but I would love to know how this works.
:32:32. > :32:34.Hopefully, the auctioneer will be able to tell me.
:32:35. > :32:39.I'm gonna try and do some research and find out exactly what it does.
:32:40. > :32:41.I know that the slide rule collectors' club
:32:42. > :32:44.or anybody that's interested in instruments like this
:32:45. > :32:48.will find it a delight to play with, and it's a real curio.
:32:49. > :32:52.It'll never do any good in the drawer.
:32:53. > :32:55.No. It need to be looked at and played with.
:32:56. > :33:00.and I thought it just as well go to somebody
:33:01. > :33:04.who could either make use of it or would be glad to display it.
:33:05. > :33:09.Yeah. I think I can see this selling for in-between ?50 and ?100.
:33:10. > :33:13.Shall we flog it? Yes. OK. ?50 to ?100.
:33:14. > :33:23.Lovely. Let's hope it does top end, shall we? Thank you very much.
:33:24. > :33:27.A nice map of Berkshire you've brought in to show us.
:33:28. > :33:32.It was part of our wedding present in 1971
:33:33. > :33:42.Did you live in Berkshire at the time? Yes. Yes, you did.
:33:43. > :33:46.And of course you're wearing the St John Ambulance Brigade's uniform.
:33:47. > :33:50.Yes. We're here providing first aid cover, so I brought our map along
:33:51. > :33:54.just in case there was time to be valued like the Flog It people do.
:33:55. > :33:57.You are selling this on your behalf? Our behalf, yes.
:33:58. > :34:04.it's nice to get one of you St John Ambulance people up on camera.
:34:05. > :34:06.Every one that I do, you do a valiant job in the background.
:34:07. > :34:11.Going back to the map, it is a very nice one. It's by John Speed.
:34:12. > :34:14.I believe so, but I can only go by what's on the back.
:34:15. > :34:16.I don't think there's any doubt about that.
:34:17. > :34:19.It's 17th century. The colouring might be later.
:34:20. > :34:27.We've got, obviously, Windsor represented,
:34:28. > :34:30.a wonderful prospect of Windsor Castle,
:34:31. > :34:36.I often wondered who he was. I'm wondering that as well.
:34:37. > :34:40.I was hoping you weren't going to ask me. I don't know, actually.
:34:41. > :34:48.If he's been stuck on a paper... For 400 years! ..you'd be unhappy.
:34:49. > :34:51.We've got all the borders and counties.
:34:52. > :34:54.It's generally in quite good condition.
:34:55. > :35:02.Often they're in these quite simple frames.
:35:03. > :35:04.I would have a plain, wooden frame, myself, if I had it.
:35:05. > :35:09.I like it. The value does depend on what county is it.
:35:10. > :35:24.They're not priceless. They're not hugely valuable.
:35:25. > :35:28.No. I would have thought we'd get around about ?200 to ?300.
:35:29. > :35:33.Really? We never thought of the value, really.
:35:34. > :35:37.You've had it as a wedding present for 35 years.
:35:38. > :35:41.It's been hanging on your wall. Yes, in the darkest corner.
:35:42. > :35:47.No. What about your husband, Alan? He doesn't hate it as much as I do.
:35:48. > :35:49.I guess that's why you're flogging it.
:35:50. > :35:55.Right now we're heading straight back to Watlington.
:35:56. > :35:58.The first of our items if Josh and Neville's clock.
:35:59. > :36:15.Hopefully Linda's map should attract a lot of local interest.
:36:16. > :36:19.I think this has to be one of my favourite little items of the day,
:36:20. > :36:29.As you know, it's a slide rule, a gauge, publicans would have used.
:36:30. > :36:33.It's a really nice thing. I actually think this is my favourite object.
:36:34. > :36:35.We've got 1,200 or 1,300 lots in here.
:36:36. > :36:38.Oh, good, good... That's the one I really think is the best of the lot.
:36:39. > :36:45.for that unfortunate purpose, the excise duty
:36:46. > :36:50.so you can calculate how much alcohol there is in a beer barrel.
:36:51. > :36:54.And there's even a rule in there for cider.
:36:55. > :37:02.I think that was an ambitious dealer trying to sell it, to tie in with...
:37:03. > :37:08.Yes, I mean, why would a "Williams" make any difference to it?
:37:09. > :37:12.Just an optimist. Will we get that ?100, do you think?
:37:13. > :37:27.It is. Yes, a very tactile object with a lot of surface quality.
:37:28. > :37:44.We're looking at the top end here, we want 150 quid plus.
:37:45. > :37:47.It's got a lovely story, because it survived a burglary, didn't it?
:37:48. > :37:52.Somebody stole it, they just threw it down a bunch of stairs
:37:53. > :37:55.and it landed in the hallway down at the bottom.
:37:56. > :37:58.They took the TV and video, but left the clock.
:37:59. > :38:06.It was your father's. He bought it for five bob in 1958.
:38:07. > :38:16.The shape is nice and it's a lovely fitted box.
:38:17. > :38:24.Under the circumstances, one understands why it is.
:38:25. > :38:29.Oh, set bells ringing! It was used as an alarm clock, wasn't it?
:38:30. > :38:33.It was. So, you've got yourself a battery alarm clock now.
:38:34. > :38:37.Something a bit more functional. A bit more reliable.
:38:38. > :38:40.It's just about to go under the hammer. This is it.
:38:41. > :38:43.Travelling alarm clock, white enamel dial.
:38:44. > :38:47.80, then, to start me. 50 if you like.
:38:48. > :39:02.95. 100 with you. At ?100. 110? At ?100. Are you all happy at ?100?
:39:03. > :39:06.That was short and sweet, right on the reserve.
:39:07. > :39:09.He ran it right up, there was a bid on the book.
:39:10. > :39:14.Who's getting the hundred quid, then?
:39:15. > :39:17.I think Josh here. I think it's going to a cattery.
:39:18. > :39:19.Our cats have just gone into a cattery this week.
:39:20. > :39:25.We're going on holiday for three weeks whilst we're moving house.
:39:26. > :39:45.that's Linda who helped us out at the valuation day,
:39:46. > :39:48.because she represents the St John Ambulance Brigade,
:39:49. > :39:50.but we've got her husband, Alan, who's also...
:39:51. > :39:54.St John Ambulance. St John Ambulance, yes. I love this map.
:39:55. > :39:58.Let's face it, right on the border. Yeah.
:39:59. > :40:01.Hope it does well. Speed is one of the best cartographers.
:40:02. > :40:05.Let's hope we get that top end of the estimate. Will we crack it?
:40:06. > :40:07.I think so. It's a typical Speed map.
:40:08. > :40:10.It's got nice imagery and Windsor Castle running across the top.
:40:11. > :40:14.It's got part of Oxfordshire, part of Buckinghamshire on there.
:40:15. > :40:18.Let's hope the map collectors are here.
:40:19. > :40:26.Speed's Berkshire. 17th century, hand-carved map, Hogarth frame.
:40:27. > :40:30.200 for that. 100 to start me. ?100? 100.
:40:31. > :40:43.180. Selling at 180. We're all done at 180.
:40:44. > :40:55.That's using his discretion on that ?200.
:40:56. > :40:58.My wife will be pleased. She'll be pleased.
:40:59. > :41:02.I'm a little bit disappointed... I'm like you, Paul.
:41:03. > :41:24.But we got it away. That's the name of the game - we flogged it.
:41:25. > :41:32.Belongs to Stanley, and it's just about to go under the hammer.
:41:33. > :41:35.Had a chat to the auctioneer earlier. He loved it.
:41:36. > :41:45.I think we're going to get a great result.
:41:46. > :41:48.The auctioneer might buy it himself, he was that in love with it!
:41:49. > :41:51.Fingers crossed. Going under the hammer.
:41:52. > :41:54.A publican's or brewer's boxwood rule.
:41:55. > :42:14.130 with you by the door, at ?130. 140 anywhere?
:42:15. > :42:27.You see, it was rare, and people do collect these.
:42:28. > :42:33.It's an instrument, a gentleman's toy, to calculate things with.
:42:34. > :42:38.So, what are you going to do with ?130, Stanley?
:42:39. > :42:44.That's a nice surprise, isn't it? Well, I expected to take it home.
:42:45. > :42:47.No, you didn't, did you? I did, really.
:42:48. > :42:51.The wife brought one or two things which were of no value, and I said,
:42:52. > :42:55.I zoomed in on that one, I spotted that, didn't I?
:42:56. > :42:58.You certainly did. Thank you very much, Stanley.
:42:59. > :43:04.bring them along to one of our valuation days.
:43:05. > :44:31.It could be you flogging something, just like Stanley was here.
:44:32. > :44:34.The anthems ahead of Scotland's last match of 2013. The Tartan
