0:00:02 > 0:00:07There's a famous saying - an Englishman's home is his castle. In this case, it's absolutely true.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09We're in the historic town of Windsor
0:00:09 > 0:00:12which is dominated by this magnificent castle behind me
0:00:12 > 0:00:16which is one of the Queen's three official residences.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50MUSIC: "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Windsor Castle was described by Samuel Pepys as the most
0:00:55 > 0:00:56romantic castle in the world.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00It was established in the 11th century by William the Conqueror,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04and has been remodelled by successive kings and queens.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08And three princes that need no remodelling are our experts
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Nick Hall, Thomas Plant and Adam Partridge.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14They're busy working in the street below me,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17seeing what antiques and collectibles the people of Windsor
0:01:17 > 0:01:19have brought in for us.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The doors open and despite the hot weather,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24they flood in.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Now, tell me about this collection here.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Well, my husband started to collect it, and he
0:01:33 > 0:01:36put it along the pelmet in our house
0:01:36 > 0:01:39when we had the old-fashioned pelmets.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I used to take them down and wash them because I was very house proud,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46and one day, I took them down to wash them and there was over 70,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and I thought, "I'm not doing this any more!"
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I packed them up and put them in the attic.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Did he notice?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yes, he did.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55He was furious.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58But he wouldn't have cared if they got covered in dust
0:01:58 > 0:02:00but I worried about it.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02There's not 70 pieces here right now?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I don't think so, no. One or two did get chipped.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Smashed?- Yes, they did.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Easily breakable.- They're so...
0:02:10 > 0:02:14They're so fragile that they can easily get broken, and I'm very clumsy anyway.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Janet, how are you related to Beryl?- Beryl's my sister-in-law.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- She's married to my brother. - And I can remember all these
0:02:21 > 0:02:26when I used to go to the house - they lived next door.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29They've moved to a smaller place and there's nowhere to put it all.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Let's talk about the collection.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34This is crested china.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38And it is not the greatest manufactured china in the world.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- It's not your Doulton, your Minton...- No, I understand that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- It's slip moulded. And as we can see, it's got crests.- Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And mottos and decorations
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- from all over the country.- Yes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55The most famous factory is WH Goss.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Yes, yes.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Now that's very collectible stuff. - Yes.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- There are no Goss items here. - No, there isn't, unfortunately.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06This is all made by factories such as Arcadia, Grafton,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Carlton Ware, Swann, Vienna,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13so it's all those factories and it was a big craze. Yes, it was.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15People still collect it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17For an example, this is a Welsh woman's hat,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21but it's got the Marlborough crest on it
0:03:21 > 0:03:22- so it's not that valuable.- No.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28- If it had Wales on it, it would have been valuable.- It would.- Yes. Llandudno, or something like that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29It would have been interesting.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33OK, what are we going to say about value? What do you guys think?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34About £50.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, it is going to be like that, really.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40To be honest with you, I'm looking at an estimate of £60 to £80
0:03:40 > 0:03:41as a collection.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43That is a little bit conservative,
0:03:43 > 0:03:49- it could do better. But I suggest a reserve of £50.- All right.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- That's fine.- Happy? - Yes, quite happy.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Thank you for coming. - Thank you.- It's been very interesting, thank you.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Peggy, this is a lovely little piece, isn't it?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06A mahogany trick money box.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08How long have you owned it for?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11About...40 years.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Right. And where did it come from 40 years ago?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- My grandparents.- Right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Was it something you inherited?- Yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21It's a sweet little thing, isn't it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I think it dates from 1890-1910 period,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26turn of the century.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It's got this chequer inlay on the front here. It's mahogany.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Would you like to tell us how it works?- Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34You put a coin in there,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and then you close it. The coin drops,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and you can't get it out.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40And...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And I just put my best gold sovereign in there.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48- That's what we're hoping somebody did.- So, there's a coin in there and we don't know what it is.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- You just can't get them out?- No.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52No.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56It's quite weighty. What if the coin is valuable? Are we going to take that risk?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- I don't think...- It's unlikely.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Though my grandparents had quite a lot money. It might be a sovereign, you never know.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06In which case, the value would be dramatically different.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09We've got this baize on the base.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14There may be screw holes under here where you could get into it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- But we wouldn't be wanting to vandalise that, really.- No.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22It needs a little bit of love. There's a little bit of cracking.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25But of course, if you're 100 plus,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- then you'd have a few cracks. - Getting there! Getting there!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It looks a bit like Tunbridge Ware, but it isn't.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36A lot of people see anything that's inlaid like that,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and they say Tunbridge Ware, that's a common misconception.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41It's a lovely little thing.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Solid mahogany. Not hugely valuable.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Erm, I'd say £50 to £80.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- OK.- Hopefully, it'll make £80 to £100.- Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54We'll put a reserve of £50 on it, shall we?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Yeah.- Can I ask you, why have you decided to see it?
0:05:58 > 0:06:04I collect certain antiques, and I'd rather buy something I really want.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06What would you do if it made £70 £80?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I'd probably buy a piece of Beswick.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Horse? Dog?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I've got some horses and I've got a dog.- Right.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18So I'll see you at the auction. We'll stand together, have a coffee together,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20say goodbye to the moneybox hopefully,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- and maybe, even bid on a piece of Beswick together.- Yeah. OK.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Thank you, Peggy. You've been great fun.- Thank you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Hello, there. You're dressed beautifully for a summer's day.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Very kind. Thank you.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Right, just take a seat on the floor, rest my weary legs.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Oh, you must be tired. GLASS DINGS
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Ooh! Cheers! Time out!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Now, I know what that is.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52HE LAUGHS
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Tell me.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- It's for ladies, isn't it? - It's a sauce boat.- It's for ladies. It's not a sauce boat.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Come on, you can tell us.- It's for ladies. It's called a bordalou.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- A bordalou?- A bordalou.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07And in Victorian days, when the sermons were very long in church,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10and the ladies wore voluminous skirts,
0:07:10 > 0:07:15they very discreetly had in their pew and they could slip it underneath, and relieve themselves.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19And then, took... No, they probably would have left it there,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21to be removed by the maid,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23who wouldn't be any the wiser.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27I'm so pleased you told the story and not me.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29THEY LAUGH
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Hello, Chris. Welcome to Flog It!
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Thanks for coming in with this nice bit of glassware.- It is nice.- Um...
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I like this. I like glass anyway, it's tactile,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46there's so many different types to collect.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51I'm a big fan of glassware. Tell me where you came across this and how you came to own it.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I bought it at an antiques fair in my local village hall
0:07:54 > 0:07:55about three weeks ago.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Did you pay a lot of money for it? - No, I paid £32.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Sounds pretty reasonable. It's looking good so far.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06What did they say it was when you bought it? Did they indicate age or country of origin?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I asked the lady who sold it to me if she knew anything about it,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and she really didn't know very much.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Well, that's in your favour
0:08:14 > 0:08:19because I think this is a piece of Scottish glass by Monart.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Um, not early. Fairly late.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Probably middle 20th century.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28That kind of era and it's quite typical of pieces from that era.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30But I'm pretty sure it's not earlier.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35You do have to be careful. There's an awful lot of copies of Monart,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37made in Czechoslovakia,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and they're doing some very good copies and reproductions.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's affected the value slightly in as much as
0:08:43 > 0:08:48buyers are being wary, they don't want to get caught with the wrong piece, a fake etc.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53But this has a lot of indications that should be there -
0:08:53 > 0:08:57these little speckled inclusions which is called aventurine,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00the air bubbles inside. And underneath this, a pontil mark.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04If we have a close look here, you'll see, where it's ground,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07another good indication that it should be OK,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10we should be safe with it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Why are you wanting to sell it? A quick profit?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- A quick profit, yeah. - Quite right, too.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I would put a saleroom estimate of somewhere between
0:09:19 > 0:09:23£50 and £80 on this,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26put a firm reserve of say, £40 on it
0:09:26 > 0:09:28in case the buyers aren't convinced,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30or they don't like it or it might be a quiet day.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- That'll safeguard you.- Yeah. - And we'll go from there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40- If you're happy to flog it... - I am, yes.- We'll pop it in the auction. Good luck. Thank you.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Thank you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well, Paul, it's time to have a look at your pocket watch here.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56What a lovely thing. Where did you get it from?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It actually belongs to my mother-in-law.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It belonged to her father-in-law.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06And now that my father-in-law has died,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08she's having a general clear-out,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11she says she has no sentimental attachment to it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13So you've brought it along on her behalf.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Does she live far away? - She lives in Banbury, yes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19We live closer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22So, you've brought it along for Flog It! today.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25What did you think it might be worth?
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Well, not a lot. It doesn't do anything fancy. It doesn't even go,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32let alone anything fancy!
0:10:32 > 0:10:33It's not even running?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36No, no, it isn't. But, erm...
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- I thought the gold chain may be worth a few pounds.- You're right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43You've got two components, here. You've got this 18 carat,
0:10:43 > 0:10:4919th-century pocket watch, which is dated 1831.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Right.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So that makes it William IV period.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- So it's a good year, a good period. - I didn't think it was that old.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59170 or 175, thereabouts.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02And it's signed by the watchmaker
0:11:02 > 0:11:04who's Jacob Bradford of Manchester.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10So, it's a nice quality English lever pocket watch.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12The chain's a later chain.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's a 9-carat chain,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18but they work well together. Any idea of the value?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Well, I'd be surprised it it was worth more than 50 quid,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26to be honest, and the chain, that's about a similar amount.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28We've got good news for you, then.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Cos I'd like to say it's going to be £300 to £500.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Gosh.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Between the two.- That's a big surprise.- That's better, isn't it?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40So I think we need to stop it in case it's a poor auction,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42we don't anyone nicking it for no money.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45So, it's got to be worth £300.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I should've worn a better T-shirt.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Too late now!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Now, for a quick reminder of what we're taking off to auction.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Let's hope someone loves the crested china
0:11:54 > 0:11:56so Beryl can put away her duster,
0:11:56 > 0:12:01and that the new owners of the moneybox will enjoy that extra sovereign.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Will Chris realise his ambitions as a dealer and turn a profit
0:12:05 > 0:12:06on the Monart vase?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And finally, the fine gold pocket watch,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13but perhaps, it's not all what it seems.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16All our items are at the Bourne End Auction Room in Buckinghamshire.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21We're pinning all our hopes on the man with the gavel, today's auctioneer, Simon Brown.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Adam's put a valuation of £300-£500 on this 18-carat gold pocket watch,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35made in Manchester,
0:12:35 > 0:12:36around about 1830.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The chain is 9-carat gold.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I like this.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43There's something about it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I don't know what, though, cos I don't know anything about watches.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48But it feels good and it looks good.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, I'm not a horologist, but...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53the chain is a lovely chain in its own right,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- so that's a valuable piece. - That's worth about £100.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Unfortunately, it's a marriage.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01If you look closely at the watch,
0:13:01 > 0:13:07you'll see the figure 12 is in the wrong position.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Mm-hm.- OK? And also,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11if you turn it over,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and drop it out, you will see that there's a plugged
0:13:14 > 0:13:17winding hole there,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- which means...- It's been covered up.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24This case was originally made for a different...
0:13:24 > 0:13:25BOTH: ..mechanism.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- The movement is wrong for the watch. - That's right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32So, all is not what it seems.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37I reckon it'll struggle through at £300. He's put £300-£500 on there.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41If we can get £300, £320 for it, I will be happy.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43So we both agree then.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- It's not the right value but we kind of have this sense that... - He might just get that.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I think he might. Whatever you do, don't go away,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54we're going to find out if Adam's right in just a moment.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03We have got some seaside memorabilia for you.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06It's just about to go under the hammer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And for once, it's not Troika from Cornwall.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11It is crested china, which is slightly earlier.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It was brought in by Beryl, but unfortunately,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17she can't be with us, so her sister-in-law has come along.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Janet, thanks very much for stepping in.- My pleasure.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Is there something you'd like to buy or collect?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Erm...- No.- No, not personally.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26No, no.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29So, we're here to flog. Will we get that top end?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I don't know. I mean, there's a lot there.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36A huge amount of sort of, little cats and vases and stuff.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And when you went to Blackpool,
0:14:38 > 0:14:43or you went to Clevedon, you picked up a bit of china,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47printed with the crest on. You know, great stuff.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And then, people collect it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yeah. Well, we're going to find out if it's collectible,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55right here, right now in the Bourne End Auction Room.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Fingers crossed, everyone, it's going under the hammer.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Lot 258, a large collection of crested china.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04That's down at the row at the back there.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07We'll start at £30.
0:15:07 > 0:15:1030, I'm bid. Got you at 30.
0:15:10 > 0:15:1232, 35, 37, 40,
0:15:12 > 0:15:1442, 45, 47,
0:15:14 > 0:15:1650, £50 now...
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- At 50.- That's good.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I think it's gone on.
0:15:20 > 0:15:2150, all done?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- GAVEL BANGS - Yeah, £50.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25We'll take that.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28We'll take that. I'm sure she'll be pleased.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30No more cleaning, no more dusting.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- I don't know what she's going to do with the money.- She said she'll treat the grandchildren.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38And we're going to have a nice bottle of wine.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40HE LAUGHS
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Next up is Paul's gold pocket watch,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and our chance to find out if Simon, our auctioneer, is right
0:15:50 > 0:15:52about Adam's valuation.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57We got a valuation of £300 to £500.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59We had a chat with the auctioneer earlier,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03you all know this at home, I'll just bring in our expert, Adam here.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- He said £300 to £500...- Too much. - All is not what it seems. Yes.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12He said you'll struggle at the lower end because it's a marriage.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- I said I'm sure Adam noticed that. - It's a little ambitious,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18but I'm sure it will sell.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20The chain, possibly, is worth £100.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yes, it's a good chain.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Yes, it's a good chain.- And also, a little disclaimer here,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28John Kelly, our off-screen jewellery expert -
0:16:28 > 0:16:32if it doesn't sell, I'm after you, John -
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- he told me £400.- He may have been winding you up.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Yeah, yeah, I'll be ticked off with him anyway.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Tick tock, ticked off. Here we go, it's going under the hammer.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Lot 342, 18-carat gold, open face pocket watch.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Has a rather nice chain weighing 45g.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Start me at £200 for this lot.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53200, I'm bid. 220, 240,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57260, 280, 300, 320,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59340, 360...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01360?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03360 on my left, selling at 360.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Are we all done at 360?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Got you at 360 now?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08GAVEL BANGS
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Yes!
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- That's good.- Just got a sneaky glance from the auctioneer.- Yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Thank you for bringing it in because we had a lovely chat with that.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- It's a quality item. - Interesting.- It is.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26And you can learn a lot from just listening to somebody talk about it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- I was really surprised. - So, the money is going where?
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Well, it's going to my mother-in-law but hopefully, she'll spend it on me.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44We have a bit of 20th century modern about to go under the hammer,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47a bit of Scottish Monart, or is it Czechoslovakian?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51We're going to find out in a moment. It belongs to Chris, but whatever happens,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55the value is still the same - £50 to £80. We've got a reserve of £40.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Nick thinks it's Scottish. The auctioneer has definitely catalogued it as Czechoslovakian.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I wouldn't know the difference, here, Nick.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It's interesting, Paul.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Because the popularity of Monart glass, and arts and crafts glass in general...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- It's been copied.- Copied heavily.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18But it looks as though they were copying it when the originals were made in the early 20th century
0:18:18 > 0:18:19so I'm still happy it's right.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23And you got this at a local antiques fair at your village hall for £32.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Why are you flogging it right now, so early afterwards?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I'm trying to see if I'm a good judge of antiques.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Right, test your eye. - Maybe there's a future in it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35You never know. Don't forget the golden rule,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38always trade up, always buy quality,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41good condition, something that's signed as well.
0:18:41 > 0:18:48- OK?- OK.- Good luck. OK, lesson one. Right, it's going under the hammer now. This is it. Here we go.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Lot 100, an early 20th century Czechoslovakian orange and green
0:18:52 > 0:18:54art glass vase.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57A rather pretty one. Start me at £50. 30.
0:18:57 > 0:18:5930, I'm bid.
0:18:59 > 0:19:0132, 35, 37,
0:19:01 > 0:19:0340, 42, 45,
0:19:03 > 0:19:0547, 50, 55,
0:19:05 > 0:19:0760, 55, 60,
0:19:07 > 0:19:0965, 70,
0:19:09 > 0:19:1275, 80. 75 in front.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Selling at 75, are we all done at 75 now?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17GAVEL BANGS
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Great. The hammer's gone down. £75, not bad.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23You've tested your eye out, you've doubled your money.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Hopefully, you'll double your money the next time and the next time.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30That's the plan - to go back to some more craft fairs and car boot sales.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Yeah?- And see what we can find.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36You've just got to get out there and get up hunting, get up early in the morning,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38and do the leg work because it doesn't come to you.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Well done, Nick. We're going for Monart.- Absolutely.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I think we were justified that it is Monart,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- and well-spotted, you, and good luck with your future.- Thank you.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Looking forward to this, Peggy? - Nervous.- Is this your first sale?
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- Yes.- Oh, good luck. This'll be a winner. You've had Adam as the expert.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05And it's a lovely little moneybox.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Hopefully, we will get the top end - £80.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Why are you flogging this moneybox? There's hours of fun to be had with this.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15There's a story. It's nothing to do with the moneybox.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I wanted to come to Flog It! and I wanted to meet you,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20and I knew you dealt with wood.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24And I did meet you, and Adam, so I met my two favourites.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26BOTH: Aah.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Look at that. Aah, thank you so much for coming in.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35We're going to do you proud, hopefully. I saw the auctioneer playing with this earlier.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- He was tipping it upside down. - Trying to get the money out.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- There's a knack of turning it on its side.- Oh? You can get it out?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Oh, yeah. If you turn it on its side, slight,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48you can make that top bit flap back and if you can get the coin...
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- We put the cameraman's money in there.- The quid? - Yes.- We got it out.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Oh, no!- You got it out? - Yes, got it out!
0:20:55 > 0:20:57What have you done with it?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I put it in my pocket.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00THEY ALL LAUGH
0:21:00 > 0:21:04I'm sad. I do have a bit too much time on my hands. I live in auction rooms.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Do you think it'll make 50 quid? - Um, I think it should do.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- I don't think it'll do much more. - Hopefully. This is it - it's going under the hammer!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Lot 187 is an Edwardian mahogany trick moneybox.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Start me at £50, please, for this lot.
0:21:18 > 0:21:2030 to start. Nobody interested?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- There is some loose change in it. 30, I bid.- Puts the value up.
0:21:24 > 0:21:2530, 32, 35.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28£32 now? Nobody interested?
0:21:28 > 0:21:3032, 35, 37,
0:21:30 > 0:21:3240, 42, 45, 47,
0:21:32 > 0:21:3750, 50 on my left. Selling at 50. Are we all done at 50?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Got you at 50. Yours at 50 now.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- GAVEL BANGS - Yes! Well done. Good job I got that quid out.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Or it would have gone for 49!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49We should have said it could have been a gold sovereign.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Yeah. Well, we'll see you at the next valuation day. How about that?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Come along.- Mm.- All right. - Thank you.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Well, that was great fun.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01But right now, I'm off to a local art centre
0:22:01 > 0:22:05for a lesson from one of their artists-in-residence.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15South Hill Park is just outside Bracknell.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I wonder how many art centres can boast a mansion house
0:22:18 > 0:22:20dating from 1760.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It sits in the most glorious grounds
0:22:22 > 0:22:25with gardens, lawns and lakes.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27What an inspirational setting...
0:22:27 > 0:22:31which is exactly what Sir Jack Hughes must've thought.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Now, he was the chairman of the Bracknell Development corporation,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and he decided to use his powers of persuasion
0:22:37 > 0:22:41to turn this magnificent building into an art centre and theatre
0:22:41 > 0:22:43back in 1973, and he did it
0:22:43 > 0:22:48to give everybody the opportunity of enjoying the arts as much as he did.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Well done, Sir Jack -
0:22:57 > 0:23:00that's all I can say, and I know he'd be so thrilled and proud
0:23:00 > 0:23:02if he could see how it's been developed.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05It's a thriving space that offers a cinema,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07a theatre, gallery space,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10and all manner of craft studios for artists to work in.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13And it draws in people from miles around.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19South Hill Park has many artists in residence. Hannah Bedford,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21a jewellery designer and silversmith
0:23:21 > 0:23:22is just one of them.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25She uses the centre's facilities to create her own work
0:23:25 > 0:23:27as well as to teach.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Hannah, it's great to meet you. Thank you for talking to us today.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37What I want to know is how do you get to become artist-in-residence?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- It's absolutely stunning.- Yeah, it's an amazing job to have. - You're lucky.- Very much so.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45I had to apply, and then you have to go through a strict interview process.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50You have to outline how the residency will help your career, show them your work,
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- what you've been up to and how committed you are to the job.- Yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Well, I can see you've got sketch books here. Some molluscs.- Yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- It's all organic form, inspired by nature.- Oh, I like that cluster.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- It's gathering the light and shade. - It is.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09I like the element of having similar things, but they're all unique.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Working in jewellery, you can work like that.- You emulate these forms?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Very much so.- Lots of leaves.- Yeah. - Petals.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Leaves, shells, flowers - those sorts of forms.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27It's easy to see the influence of natural forms in Hannah's work.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34What inspired you to become a designer and silversmith?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38I've always had an interest in handmade silver jewellery,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and I wanted to use both my creative skills
0:24:41 > 0:24:44and have a technical side as well and I managed to combine both.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- It was instinct. I knew I wanted to be a jeweller.- And the training?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I studied at Birmingham School of Jewellery for three years on a BA course
0:24:51 > 0:24:54in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57And I've been set up in business for two years since then.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58There's a lot of good jewellers...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Yeah, a huge amount.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02This...is stunning.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's like a little shell.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07How easy is that to do?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- I can show you how to make that. - Could I have
0:25:09 > 0:25:11a go at making something like this?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14You could have a go, yeah. Certainly.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- I bet it's not that easy. - You might need some help.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18You need a very good teacher.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Right, stage one. You've taken the silver already and rolled it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Yes, I've rolled it and it's ready to be press-formed.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- So it's quite pliable and malleable?- Yeah, that's the idea.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So, what you do is put your silver over the mould.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- We put the weight on top.- Yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Then, if you want to take the...- OK. I know what to do on these. Ready?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49One more. SHE LAUGHS
0:25:51 > 0:25:52That's perfect.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55There you go.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Hey, presto! That's beautiful!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It's punched out the shape. You just need to cut it out now.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- Do I cut close to the edge or give it a margin?- Give it a margin of about 3mm all the way around.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- That will create the flange. - Yep. And then we use that
0:26:08 > 0:26:10to hammer later on.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You've got strong hands, haven't you?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Yeah.- It's techniques after the years, isn't it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18That's it. Perfect.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Well done.- 'Next, Hannah shows me how to make the pearl shapes
0:26:22 > 0:26:24'which feature in many of the designs
0:26:24 > 0:26:27'and will decorate the inside of the pendant.'
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Right, Hannah, now for the exciting bit.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- I'll adjust the flame.- Yep, bring it down to a fine...- Ooh.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36..pinpoint flame.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- It's very sensitive, isn't it?- Yes. That's it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41This is where all the scrap material comes in useful.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45All the bits I've cut off I cut into small pieces and we melt them down
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- into little granules.- OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- And I just burn these little offcuts?- Yep. Heat it up
0:26:49 > 0:26:55- till it starts to form. That's a good one.- That's a nice one, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Isn't it wonderful how it just sort of...sucks in,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59it makes the right shape.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- I'll make a really large one, shall I?- Yeah, go for it. This'll be huge.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:27:07 > 0:27:10What's the next stage after this?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12After we've made the granules,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14we need to make the top of the pendant,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18so we have to cut out a hole and hammer it to give it the fine detail on the edge.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22OK. The hammer action is what we're all used to on Flog It!
0:27:22 > 0:27:25This is going under the hammer, literally, isn't it?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Go onto the stake.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And use this hammer over here.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- All right. And then, just gently... - Yep.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33That's it. Exactly like that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35So you gently go all the way around?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Really gently, work round the edge
0:27:37 > 0:27:39till you get that soft fluted look.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Oh, that's nice. It's catching the light.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Let's see.- Is that OK?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Yeah, that looks really good. Then, we're going to put the top half
0:27:48 > 0:27:50over it and solder it round.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Very therapeutic.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- I can just see it...- There you go. It's just run round.- Yeah.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Take the heat away.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Just very quickly...- It is. - ..for a split second,
0:28:00 > 0:28:01it just when shhhhhu.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Leave that to cool down.- Yep.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Then we can quench it, then, we have to put it in the acid to clean it up.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09SIZZLING
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- I love that sound. That's quite satisfying.- There you go.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16You've got your pendant.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Right, the soldering has now cooled down so we can handle this.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22And Hannah has just finished polishing it,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25which is possibly the most laborious of all the processes.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28It is, definitely. Polishing and finishing.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32We've soldered a little piece on the back to drop the chain through.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34That is so beautiful.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37It's not as easy as it looks. I just had a brilliant teacher.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Thank you very much.- Thank you.- I know exactly who I'll give this to.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44It's going to look stunning on her. Thank you.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01And now, back to the valuation day,
0:29:01 > 0:29:05where Thomas has found another piece of very interesting jewellery.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- David.- Hello.- Tell me about
0:29:08 > 0:29:09the brooch.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12I acquired it some six to eight years ago.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16I paid a couple of hundred pounds for it. I know it's Victorian.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18That's it. I know no more.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20So...
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Why did you buy it? As a present? - Yes, for my wife.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28Unfortunately, it hasn't seen the light of day and it's not likely to be worn ever.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32And we feel it's better to go to somebody who might use it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Definitely. Did you buy it from an auction, a dealer,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38a shop? How did you come by it?
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I bought it from a friend.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Hence a couple of hundred pounds. - Yeah. I knew it to be a good buy.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Well, it is certainly a nice thing.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49That's quite a big risk.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53It's a bit like buying a diamond ring in a pub.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56You don't know if it's going to be a diamond ring. Know what I mean?
0:29:56 > 0:30:01I've always been very enthusiastic about antique jewellery, and I knew it was good quality,
0:30:01 > 0:30:05and I thought at £200, it would be a reasonable risk.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08You're quite right. What's nice about the stones in here,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10they are particularly clean,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13and they are very bright - what we call an almandine lustre.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15So, when you catch it in the light,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17sometimes on the corner,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20you see a prism of the colours of the rainbow.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22These are old-cut stones,
0:30:22 > 0:30:28which means they have less facets than our modern brilliant-cut diamonds.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31The way the diamond is shaped, it's a bit like a lozenge,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34but with a tablet top, and then, a point at the bottom
0:30:34 > 0:30:36which we call the culet.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Now, on the modern brilliant cuts, it's like a triangle.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42But on the Victorian ones,
0:30:42 > 0:30:43it's slightly split,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and there's a little table which we call the culet.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50That's one way of telling if it's going to be a Victorian diamond.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- It was a safe bet.- Well, it was a good friend as well.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Have you ever thought about the two hearts interlocking?
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- Yes, a token of love, I guess. - Two interlocking hearts.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- And the pearls on the top?- No, I haven't...- Purity.- Right, OK.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08The pearls stand out there for pure love.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10It's a love token.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14And you gave it to your wife, and it's quite a nice thing.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19It's the kind of thing... When I buy brooches for my other half, she never wears them.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22They're not so interested in brooches. They like the diamond rings.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24And maybe the diamond necklaces.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27No, it's just a shame it hasn't been worn,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31and I think it's time to move it onto somebody that would wear it.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- I would suggest, at auction, an estimate of £700 to £900.- OK.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- What do you think about that? - I would be happy with that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- I'm happy to let it go for that. - I suggest a reserve of £700.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- OK.- Happy?- Yeah.- Let's hope it does well for you.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Let's hope so.- Thank you for bringing it.- You're welcome.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Well, Stuart, how are you doing? - Very well, thank you.- Good, good.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01You've brought these two Dinky toys in.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Two horseboxes. Are you a horse enthusiast?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- No. I wish I could be. I can't afford it.- That's a shame.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09This one has the original box.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Yes.- And it also has the price on it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:1515/9. So, did you buy that?
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Yes, I did. Must be 40 years ago. Little shop in Dundee.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Really? Remember the name of the shop?- Yes.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- Winnie Gills, Arbroath Road, Dundee. - OK...- No longer, I'm afraid.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Doesn't exist any longer?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31This is the horsebox that belongs with this box.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35What I like is the description -
0:32:35 > 0:32:39"This is a fun-providing miniature of a vehicle designed and fitted
0:32:39 > 0:32:42"for transporting racehorses from training stables to courses.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46"It is fitted with hinged ramps at offside and rear
0:32:46 > 0:32:47"for loading and unloading
0:32:47 > 0:32:51"and is finished in a sporty yellow and grey colour scheme."
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I think that describes it wonderfully.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It's a good example in lovely condition
0:32:56 > 0:32:58so this is where the value is.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03Cos we've got another one here which is also a Dinky horsebox,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05but this one has some problems.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10This one's been repainted. Let's tilt them both on their side.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15If you look at the bottom of that, these are the original rivets
0:33:15 > 0:33:18these are much more recent rivets.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23If you look in the Dinky catalogue you'll see that whoever repainted it
0:33:23 > 0:33:26has put the transfers back in the wrong place.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29This one should say "Hire Service" on here
0:33:29 > 0:33:34and "British Railways" should go on the back and "Express Horse Box" should go here, so they've...
0:33:34 > 0:33:42- They've mucked it up.- ..mucked it up. - I had a pretty good idea that this wasn't the original.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46They've made a bit of a pig's ear of it, but it looks quite nice.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Cos you can still buy these transfers.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53So the value of this one's pretty low which is why we've grouped it with this
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Newmarket Racehorse Transport Service horsebox.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Of course we're quite near Ascot here...- So I've been told.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03..so maybe some racing enthusiasts might get hold of that.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04Any idea of the value?
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- I've been told roughly 150.- Yeah.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Yeah, I think 100 to 150 should be our guide,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15we'll put a reserve of 100 so they don't go for any less
0:34:15 > 0:34:19and hopefully, the collectors will fight over it
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- and maybe get a bit more.- Good.- OK.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- We'll see what they make at the sale.- Thank you.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35There's such a buzz about a valuation day
0:34:35 > 0:34:41because there's a room jam-packed full of people that love to talk and learn about antiques.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Well, almost everyone.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48But Thomas is wide awake
0:34:48 > 0:34:52and he's found something he really is enthusiastic about.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- Your husband was going to throw this out.- He was!
0:34:56 > 0:34:59What does he still think this is?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02A bit of rubbish, actually!
0:35:03 > 0:35:05He says it's worth about ten pence!
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Why, then, did you bring it to us?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12It's been in the family for as long as I can remember.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17It was my grandmother's, she used to keep stamps in it.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21It was given to my mother and she kept stamps in it.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26It's always been in a bookcase, just gathering dust.
0:35:26 > 0:35:33- So your grandma had it, your mum, you don't keep stamps in it?- No, cos we've got...- Sticky ones now.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Just for the benefit of everybody, it does open.
0:35:36 > 0:35:43You've got this sort of wheelbarrow in brass which opens.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45What do you do with it?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I don't know what it's for.
0:35:48 > 0:35:55It might be for stamps, but I doubt it because those stamp boxes... If you want to slip stamps in there,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57they'd fall out
0:35:57 > 0:36:02because they're quite thick, the gaps are quite wide.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05It's made out of brass,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07definitely Victorian.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12And I think your husband's wrong. I think it's a bit of quality.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I have a theory.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I think it's for sewing.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21One would put needles in there and maybe thread up here.
0:36:21 > 0:36:28You see these planks? They've all got the grain of the wood in there. It's all been nicely worked.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33Now, we turn it over and, on the base,
0:36:33 > 0:36:40we have a bit of information. It's made by W Avery & Sons Redditch.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45Just there is a registration mark. When you had a design registered,
0:36:45 > 0:36:50you would have this stamped on your goods so nobody could copy it.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54It's No 602 up here.
0:36:54 > 0:37:00I've got a little book and I found the date when this was registered - November 1874.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05I believe it deserves an estimate of £30-£50.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Do you want to let it go?- Yes.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- So we'll see you at the auction- Yes, I'd like that.- Thank you for coming.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Before we nip back to the auction, there is time for a quick reminder.
0:37:19 > 0:37:25We are taking with us a treasure from Windsor - the regal-looking diamond and pearl brooch.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31Even with one of Stuart's to horseboxes repainted, they still should gallop away.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Finally, rescued from the rubbish bin, the exquisitely made brass wheelbarrow.
0:37:35 > 0:37:42This is a cracking little wheelbarrow. I had a chat with the auctioneer
0:37:42 > 0:37:48and it's not until you actually hold it that you realise how delicate and how beautifully constructed it is.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- And the detail is incredible.- It is.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54And, also, you've got a maker's name.
0:37:54 > 0:38:01Looking at that, you'd think it was only worth £20. But when you pick it up, you think £60 or £100.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04So fingers crossed.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- It's gorgeous.- It's good, isn't it?
0:38:07 > 0:38:13- I know why you had a big smile on your face.- It's so well made.
0:38:13 > 0:38:19- It's stunning.- Rosemary's husband was going to throw it out!
0:38:19 > 0:38:24Victorian W Avery & Sons brass needlebox.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Who'll start me at £30? 30.
0:38:26 > 0:38:3130 I'm bid. 32. 35. 37.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3440. 42.45. 47.
0:38:34 > 0:38:3750. 50 on my right. Selling at 50.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42All done at 50? Yours at 50. Got you at 50.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- Great result. He's sold it at the top end.- Thank you!
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- Thank you so much.- It was so nice to hold. It had the touch.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54So that was really nice.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00- And a bit of history as well.- Yes, a bit of my family.- Are you sad?
0:39:00 > 0:39:07- No, not really.- You were going to chuck it.- My husband was. He didn't like it.
0:39:07 > 0:39:13Well, you can now treat him with that £50. You can say, "Here's a meal out!"
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- Oh, no. A pint, that's all he's having.- That's all he deserves!
0:39:21 > 0:39:29Let's find out if this next lot is hot to trot. We've got two Dinky horseboxes up for grabs. £100-£150.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32They belong to Stuart, but hopefully not for much longer!
0:39:32 > 0:39:39- Why are you flogging these?- I need the room.- You need the room? You've got a small space at home, then!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I have 400 model buses.
0:39:41 > 0:39:47You are a collector. We've got to get around your house and have a look at all these buses one day.
0:39:47 > 0:39:54- I'm sure everyone at home would love to see them. Happy with Adam's valuation?- Yes.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57One's damaged, one's repainted.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02- One's great with the box. They'll sell.- Let's find out.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Boxed Dinky Supertoys.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11Diecast model of a horsebox. Newmarket Race horse colours.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Who'll start me at £100? 50, then.
0:40:14 > 0:40:1750 I'm bid. Got you.
0:40:17 > 0:40:2055, 60.
0:40:20 > 0:40:2365, 70, 75, 80,
0:40:23 > 0:40:2785, 90. £90 now.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- 95. 100.- Yes.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34At 110, are we all done? At £110 now.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Selling at 110.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40We'll take that. Hammer's gone down. £110.
0:40:47 > 0:40:53Could this be the jewel in the Flog It crown? It belongs to David. It's a lovely brooch.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Valued £700-£900.
0:40:56 > 0:41:02- You are such a generous guy. You bought this for your wife and she's not worn it.- No, sadly.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06I know you've been accompanied today by your beautiful daughter.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- What's her name?- Lisa.- Hi there!
0:41:08 > 0:41:14- Don't you want to pass it on to her? - No, no. She doesn't want to wear it.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18It's not really wearable. It's of a time gone by.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23- So you had to get permission from the wife to flog this.- Yeah. She was quite happy for it to go.
0:41:23 > 0:41:29- Are you going to buy her something else?- If it sells, Lisa and I are going to have a slap-up meal.
0:41:29 > 0:41:35- If there's any money left, we'll buy her a piece of more wearable jewellery.- Fair enough!
0:41:35 > 0:41:41- Will we get that top end? - There's a chance cos it is super. - It's quality, isn't it?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- It's your style, isn't it?- It is.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48The stones are super quality, they really are.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Brooches aren't fashionable, though, so will it get broken up?
0:41:53 > 0:41:59I reckon it's going to be either broken up, or you could take off the bar and use it as a pendant
0:41:59 > 0:42:04or as a little skip brooch just for here, cos the bar's quite bulky.
0:42:04 > 0:42:11Well, that's our opinion, but it's all down to the opinion of all the bidders here.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15It's going under the hammer right now. Let's see what it does.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19This is a rather nice 1890 Victorian love token brooch.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Start me at £500, please. 500 I'm bid. 550.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28600. 650. 700. 750. 800?
0:42:28 > 0:42:33750. Got you at 750. All done then at £750.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41- Short and sweet but we got it away. £750. Happy with that?- Very happy.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45That's a meal and a bit of contemporary jewellery as well.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Well, that's it. Another day over, another auction done on Flog It!
0:42:58 > 0:43:02We've had some mixed results here but we've had a great time.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Come along to one of our valuation days if you fancy taking part in Flog It!
0:43:06 > 0:43:11Get the details from our website...
0:43:11 > 0:43:19If our experts pick your item, you can come to an auction room and experience all the thrills yourself.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Until the next time, goodbye.
