Where we are today is going through a major period of regeneration, as you can see by the cranes behind me, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:13 | |
and the plan is to make it a 21st-century market town. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Welcome to Barnsley. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
We're certainly in a modern part of Barnsley for our venue, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
the Metrodome Leisure Complex, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
where, hopefully, there's a lot of people waiting inside. Fingers crossed. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
# Ta-da! # Flog It! is here. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
Wow, look at this! A full house, and everybody's sitting patiently, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
laden with bags and boxes, ready to see our two experts, Mr Philip Serrell and Michael Baggott. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:16 | |
Chaps, are you ready for this? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
-BOTH: Absolutely. -And what have you got here? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Just a lovely beer jug, isn't it? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
-Gorgeous. And Michael? -Fantastic bit of 19th-century bronze. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
-Well, half a bit. -Well, you've got a full house. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
There's plenty of antiques. Get diving through those bags and boxes. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
Lily, I hope, um... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
we haven't brought your savings with these two. Robbed any banks today? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
They're charming things, albeit that one's a little worse for wear. Where did they come from? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
I don't really know. I know there's some family history, but a cousin gave them me 16 or 17 years ago, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
and yeah, they've been passed down through the family, somehow. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-They're nice because they're local. -Yeah. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
We've got an impressed mark on the bottom of a daisy. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-Yeah. -That stumped me, but we've got a very good off-screen expert on porcelain, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-and she said they're Mexborough pottery. -Yeah. -That was founded | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
in about 1795. These are typical of the 1830s, 1840s. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
-Yeah. -And they've got this sponge decoration to the base, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
which you see on Staffordshire Prattwares, cos they're called the Pratt colours, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
and you also see it in Yorkshire, and we're in Yorkshire today, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-so these are wonderful bits of naive craft. -Yeah. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-And I don't really think they were meant to survive any length of time. -Sure. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
You know, you bought a money box. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
There's a fairly big gap on the back, and you could probably get a couple out with a knife but not a lot. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
And they were, as I think this one was, smashed to get it open... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Possibly. -..and glued back together. But they're a lovely bit of naive English folk art. -Yes. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:03 | |
-And it's fabulous to have a pair, cos they were never meant as a pair. -No. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
I mean, you can see at the front here we've got a black window frame and the yellow curtains on this example. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:14 | |
But we've got pink here and the green and the little faces poking out. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
We've got the applied decoration here of a little tree, and I think this is lovely and crisp - | 0:03:18 | 0:03:25 | |
this sprigged and applied decoration. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
That's absolutely marvellous. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
And then, somewhat mournfully, we've got this ghostly, classical figure that seems to be laying flowers down. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:36 | |
I hope it's a cornucopia of bounty and not a wreath, but I could be wrong. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
I've said the date. I've said where they're from. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Any idea of what they're worth? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Not really. No. You hear things, but you don't know, do you? | 0:03:48 | 0:03:54 | |
No. I think we've got to value them, really, as one good one... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
-Yeah. -..with a little chip, and buy one, get one free... | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-because this is really in quite rough condition. -Yeah. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-I think at auction we should be happily in the £150 to £250 area... -Right, my love, yeah. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:13 | |
-..with a fixed reserve of £150. -Right, love. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
Why have you decided to sell them? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
Because we're going into a bungalow and we've got to let some things go. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-Right. -My family are not wanting them. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
-Really? -So they'd only just go in the attic, you know, so it's a shame when somebody could love them. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
-It is, especially when British pottery of this period's so keenly sought after. -Yeah. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
It wouldn't surprise me if they went on over the 250 mark, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-but we've got to be cautious, with the damage. -I understand. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-So if you're happy, we'll put them into the auction... -Yes, love. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
..and see where they end up - | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
see if you get enough money to fill both of them up! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
Blimey, Christine, these are imposing! | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-Yeah. Very nice. -How long have you had these? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
20 to 25 year. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-And were they a family heirloom? -No. We bought them at a sale. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-At a sale? -Yes. -And how much did you pay for them? | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
£120. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:11 | |
We thought we'd paid a lot for them when we bought them. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
-You know what auctioneers are like! -Yeah. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
So with a bit of inflation today, these probably ought to be worth | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-somewhere between 500 and £1,000. -Yeah, but they'll not be. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
-Why did you like them? -Well, we've got a cottage, terraced house, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
with beams and with old-fashioned sideboards, and I wanted something for on the end of my sideboards, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:36 | |
and I've had them there ever since. And I've loved them. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
They are known as lustres. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-Yes. -And the light hits these droppers and sort of refracts in all sorts of different ways. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:48 | |
When you bought these 25 years ago, they were very fashionable. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
They've fallen from grace along with copper kettles, copper warming pans, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
and part of the reason for that is there's this whole sort of late Victorian clutter scene. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:03 | |
You know, people buy their houses, they buy their cottages, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
and in the '70s and '80s, they went out and filled them to the gunwales with everything, didn't they? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:12 | |
-Yes. -Knick-knacks here - everywhere. And now tastes have changed. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
People are very much into minimalism and rather than have perhaps ten bits | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
-that might have cost them £100 each, they'd rather have one statement piece at £1,000. -Yeah. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
You know, and the way that we decorate our homes, | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
the way that we decorate our houses, has changed dramatically. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
So I think the way we've got to look at this is that you bought these for £125 25 years ago, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:40 | |
-so very roughly they've cost you £5 a year... -Mm-hm. -..just to have the pleasure of owning them. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:47 | |
-Yeah. -So that's the way you've got to look at this. -Yeah. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
-Cos you're going to lose some money here. -Oh, yeah. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
In my eyes, these are very late. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
-They're simply decorative. -Yeah. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
-And I'm not sure you won't throw one at me when I tell you what I think they're worth. -Go on. Try me. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:04 | |
-Really? -Mmm. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
I think that they might make £50 to £80, and you should put a £40 reserve on them. Ouch. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:13 | |
Yeah. Well, I've had my pleasure from them. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-So you're happy to sell them? -Yeah, because... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
Just let them go. Let somebody have some pleasure, instead of them being wrapped up in the loft. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
-Yeah. I bet they're a pig to clean, aren't they? -Yeah. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-It's worth you get rid of them for the cleaning. -Yes. -Right. We'll settle on that, then. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
Carol, Staffordshire lions. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-Are they yours? -Yes. -How long have you had these, then? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Well, actually, I've only had them two years. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
That was when my father died and obviously they were inherited... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
-from his parents. -So they've been in the family and passed down through the generations. -They have. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
-I'm the fourth generation. -Can you remember these as a little girl? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
I can, on my grandparents' sideboard. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Well, I guess that's where they belonged, really, didn't they, | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-or on the mantelpiece on a windowsill or down by the side of the fireplace. -Yeah. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
Aren't they lovely? It's a lovely pair. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
One of the glass eyes is missing... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-Yes. -..on one of the pair. This one here. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-Yeah. -But otherwise... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
Apart from them... It's like crazed paving... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
Don't worry about that. That's the craquelure. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-Right. -That's acceptable. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
-I wouldn't buy any Staffordshire figures without that craquelure, that glazing. -Right. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
That's part and parcel of this country pottery from Staffordshire. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
There wasn't any one maker. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
There were a few little factories producing these wares around Staffordshire, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
known as Staffordshire pottery, and they made the classic flatbacks. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
-Can you remember seeing those? -No. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
It was almost like these, but the figure wouldn't have a back to it. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
-Oh, right. -They were only meant to face away from the wall. -I see. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-They were a country ware that most people could afford. -There's no markings on them. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
Nobody knew they were Staffordshire. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
-You won't get any marks on them. -Is that because of the age? -No. No. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
These date to round about sort of 1870, 1890, somewhere around there. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
They weren't stamped because there wasn't one particular family maker. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-They were all small potteries. -Right. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
So there were half a dozen within Staffordshire producing flatbacks and figures like this. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
-Why are you flogging them? -I don't particularly like them. -You don't like them? -Not really. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
I wouldn't have them in my house, no. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
-You've had them two years, haven't you? -But in a bag. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
-Oh, I see. -In a cupboard. -In a cupboard? -Yeah. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-They look fun if you've got a cottage and you've got them in the window. -I've got a modern bungalow. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:42 | |
My brother... I mean, obviously, whatever I do get for them, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
I'll share with my brother, but he won't have them in his house, either. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
-Wouldn't he? -No. -They're not particularly beautifully modelled, are they? -No. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
When you see the lion's mane and his face, there's not a lot of detail. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
Would it be disappointing if I said | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
you might be lucky and get around £150 for the pair? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
No. Not at all. No. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-On a good day, you should do that. -Right. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
But I'd like to put them into auction with a value | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-of £100 to £150. -Yes. -With a bit of discretion on the 100. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
Yeah. That's fine, Paul. Yeah. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
-Yeah? -I'm happy with that, yeah. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
Valerie, you don't often see things like this, do you? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
No, you don't. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
Can you tell me where you got it from? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
Well, my father-in-law, who's been dead about ten year, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
he were a big gardener. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
And he had allotment, which is built on now. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
And he were digging to put some potatoes in | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
and he struck something. And he thinks, "Is it a rock?" | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
And he's digging around this rock, and it were that, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
that come out of ground. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
And when he got it home, somebody told him to clean it | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
with water with lemon in. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
And that's the result, and it's not been touched since. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
It's been put in a hut and passed from pillar to post. Nobody wanted it. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:11 | |
And I heard Flog It! were coming | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
and I said, "I know what I'm going to do." | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
-Now is the time... -And here we are. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
..to get the allotment vase out and see what it is. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
And see what it is. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:23 | |
Right. Well, as you rightly say, it is half a vase. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
This is all beautiful cast bronze. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Yeah. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
That's a bit of cast iron from the hardware shop, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
that someone's put it on. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:37 | |
-It's what I would say was a homemade repair...a restoration. -Yes. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
Any ideas of how old it is? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
Well, I've been told it's Grecian. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
In our mind, we're thinking it's at least 150 years old. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:53 | |
You're not far off. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
If it were Grecian, absolutely a Grecian vase, | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
-it would be 4,000 years old. What this is, is Greek revival. -Yeah. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
And we started to get it in this country and on the continent | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
in about 1810, 1820. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
More so in France, and the revival - the Classical revival at this time - | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
is rather chunky and hefty and less delicate. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
-So we've got these very thick, chunky handles. -Yeah. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
And those, to me, are absolutely 1820, 1830. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
Apart from saying that it's either English or French, I can't be any more specific than that. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:32 | |
Because what would have had a foundry mark on, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
would have been the base, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
which is now probably... | 0:12:36 | 0:12:37 | |
-Still in allotment. -Still in the allotment. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
Or under houses. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:41 | |
What it is, as it stands, is half a good vase. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
So - value, value... | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
What's a sack of potatoes now? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
-Cos that would have been the alternative. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
I think we can pop that into auction, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
-and it's going to take somebody's eye at maybe £40. -Yeah. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
-So, if we put that on as the reserve... -Yeah. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-..at an estimate of £40-£60 and see where it goes. -Yeah. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
Who knows? Someone might have dug the foot up a few years later, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
and they go, "At last!" | 0:13:09 | 0:13:10 | |
Splendid. Well, we'll put it into the auction and keep our fingers crossed. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
-That's lovely. -It's an old one. I don't think it looks very nice. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
Well, the thing I like about that is that it's understated, because, you know, you go and buy | 0:13:28 | 0:13:34 | |
these watches today that cost you thousands and thousands of pounds - diamonds all around them, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
mother of pearl faces - they're not very subtle, are they? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
-No. -I'll talk about it in a minute, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
but I want you to tell me the history of this piece first. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
Well, my father inherited it, and it's come to me after his death, of course, and I've never worn it. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:54 | |
It came down through the family, and you don't want it. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-You want to sell it. -Yeah. -Oh, Henry, that'd break my heart to sell that. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
It's not a very nice-looking watch, I don't think. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-Do you know how old it is? -I believe it's about 1930. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Well, let's just have a look. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
We haven't told the viewers at home yet who made it, have we? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
We'll leave that to surprise them. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
Shall we leave them to think it's a Timex? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
The face just comes off and, in fact, just above the second hand sweep here is the maker's name. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:24 | |
-Yeah. -It is a Rolex. It's a Rolex. I think it's absolutely lovely. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
What I love about the second hand sweep, on all quality watches, it doesn't go tick, tick, tick. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:36 | |
It just sweeps round. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-Very smooth. -And that's just absolutely lovely. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
And if we have a look at the case here, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
we can see again the maker's name and their import mark. So you reckon it was 1930? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:49 | |
I believe so. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
-I think you're probably three years out. There are import marks here for Glasgow 1927. -Oh, right. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
Right. Now, the bracelet is clearly a cheap replacement. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
That, with a nice strap on it, nice black strap, I would love to own that. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:06 | |
Yeah, well. There you are. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
And if that were in my family, there's no way I'd be selling that. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
-There's only one thing we haven't discussed. -What do you reckon? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-What do I reckon? -Yep. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |
I think this sort of retro look, vintage look, is really popular at the moment. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:23 | |
I think that we can put an auction estimate on that of £200 to £400. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
-Oh, right. -We'll put a reserve on it of £200 | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
-and we'll give the auctioneer 10% discretion if he needs it. -Of course. Yeah. Yeah. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
But you know, that catalogued, on the internet, I'm sure it'll do well. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:39 | |
What are you going to spend the money on if it makes £200 or £300? | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-Well, car needs a service. -Car needs a service. -I'm a pensioner. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
Well, good luck, and I hope it does really well. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Well, there are still plenty of bags and boxes | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
for our experts to rummage through, but right now, | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
we've found enough antiques and collectables for our first visit to the auction room. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
Imagine digging up this bronze vase. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
It's not an antiquity, but it should make more than a bag of spuds | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
when it goes under the hammer. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
Although one of Lily's money boxes is a bit worse for wear, I still think this lot has real appeal. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:20 | |
So I hope they do well. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Christine's lustres have fallen out of favour, so let's hope that's not the feeling in the sale room! | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
The Staffordshire lions have been part of the family | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
for four generations, but it's time for them now to join a new pride. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
And finally, Henry's watch is a great make. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Fingers crossed it makes great money. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
Well, they say money makes the world go around, so let's hope the planet | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
is definitely spinning today for our owners, because they've come here | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
to ELR Auctions in the heart of Sheffield to flog their earthly possessions. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
And first to go under the hammer is Valerie's bronze vase. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
Your husband dug this up, didn't he? Or was it the father-in-law? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
-Father-in-law. -In a patch of potatoes. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
I think that's a classic find. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Well, it's the cheapest way to acquire antiques, isn't it? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-Dig 'em up. -Yeah. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
Will we get the top end? | 0:17:12 | 0:17:13 | |
I don't know. I mean, it's a speculative thing, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
because we've got half of it, | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
and the base is a replacement. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
But I think it's perfect if somebody wants it for their garden. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
How long have you had this? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:25 | |
-30 years since. -Where's it been, then? | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
In a hut, in garage... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
chucked out, fetched back. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-So this really is time to get rid of, isn't it? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Well, let's hope we get you the top end of Michael's estimate. Good luck. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
Early 19th-century, Greek revival bronze urn. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
£100 for it? It has all gone quiet. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
£50 for it? Let's start at the bottom. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
We've got 30, can we see 32? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
Can we see £32 in the room? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Any interest? | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
32, 35, 38, 40, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:04 | |
42, is it? Looking for 45. New bidder, 48? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
45 on the phones. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
-Telephone bidding. I didn't expect that. -No. -Anybody for 48? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
All done at 45? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Sold. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-Yes! -Brilliant. Well done, Michael, spot on. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
That is a cracking bit of garden art, actually, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
if you wanted to stick it outside. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
Yes, I just hope the poor chap on the phone can pick it up. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Cos the postage on it... It weighs a ton! | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Going to cost you £300. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:33 | |
-Yeah, it does, yeah. -Well, you got rid of. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
That's the best thing, isn't it? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Mum's 80 in February, so it'll do for a do...a birthday do. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
Ah, wonderful. A birthday do. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
-Yeah. -Proper knees-up for Mum, who's 80 years old. -80, yeah. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
And her boyfriend as well, 80. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
We've got the two little Yorkshire money pots which you fell in love with. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
-I absolutely adore them, Paul. -Lily, good luck. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-You've had them for 16 years. -Yes. -I'd have a tear in my eye, selling these. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
-I wouldn't sell them. Would you? -No. They'd have to pry my fingers off them to get them. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
They're not a pair, but they'll look fantastic on a mantelpiece. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
I like the smashed one best, with the two little cheeky faces. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
A pair of Mexborough pottery Prattware money boxes. Lovely pair. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:25 | |
Top quality. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
£130 is your start price for them. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Let's have 140. 140... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
for the Mexborough. 140. 150. 160. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Yeah! They were a bit slow to put their hands up to start with. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
160. 170. 180, sir. 190. 200. 210? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:49 | |
Too soon to be out. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
Top of the room at 200. Anybody else for 210? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
They're going to go, reluctantly, at £200. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
Have we finished? Hammer's dropping. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-Yes. There was a delayed reaction. -There was! -Lily, £200. Not bad. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
-We got mid-estimate. -It is, because there's a good one and... | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
You liked the glued one, but there was a lot of glue in the glued one! | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
But that's what I love about it. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
You know, it's a sort of a naive repair and it was done by somebody that loved it | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
and wanted to make use of it - a classic bit of recycling. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
-Yeah. -Well, that's £200, Lily. What are you going to do with that? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
We're moving down to a bungalow, so it's going to help with expenses. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
Yeah. And that haemorrhages money, doesn't it, moving? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
-It is. It's hard work. -A stressful time, as well. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-Yeah. -Have a good drink, won't you? -I will, love. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
Someone else who's selling the family heirlooms is Carol here. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
Now, these Staffordshire lions have been in the family... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-what, four, five generations? -Yes. That's right. Yeah. -Grandmother's... | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-I've forgotten, was it wedding present? -It was. Oh, yeah, it was. -Why, why, why? Do you know, | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
-I would keep these even if they were in the wardrobe. -I don't want them on display. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
My children don't want them on display. My brother don't want them. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
I think they're fun, but I'm a bit sort of... | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
I like my country pottery. I'm sort of stuck in the past. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
I noticed when I was viewing the sale room yesterday, there's another pair. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-Yes. -Did you see that? -Yes, I have. Yeah. -Not as good as our lot, though. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-Right. -Not as good as our lot. Let's hope that we get that £150. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
Lot number 62. Pair of 19th-century pottery lions. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
Unusual how they're resting on those balls. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 | |
£200 for them. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
For the pair. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:38 | |
100. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
The bidding has started at 70. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
£70. I'll take 75 elsewhere. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
75 for the pair. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
I'm struggling if I can't get 75 for these, help me out, somebody. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
Any interest? | 0:21:57 | 0:21:58 | |
With me at 70 on the book. Have we finished? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
Didn't sell. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
-Right. -They're going home. It's a good job we put a reserve on them. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
-Yes. -We've protected it. -Right. -They're worth £100 any day. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
Well, we've got a Rolex watch for sale, but it's not mine, it's Henry's here. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
-And it was made in Glasgow in 1920s, 1930s. -Older than I thought, yes. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
-Philip, £200-400 sounds cheap for a Rolex. -Yeah. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
-It's got a bit of style, hasn't it? -Yeah. It's got a replacement strap. That's no problem. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
No problem at all. Why are you flogging it if it works so well? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
I don't think it's a very attractive watch to look at. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
I know it's a Rolex and it looks nice. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
-I've got another. -Oh, right. OK. You like that style more? | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
-Yes. -What does Philip wear? Philip needs a watch. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
I can't afford a watch. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
Lot number 275. The gentleman's Rolex silver-cased wristwatch. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
Import mark for 1927. Another beauty. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
-Lots of interest on the book. -Good. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
I'll start this one at £420. 420. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
I'll take 440 elsewhere. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
440 I'm looking for. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
This one's going to sell. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
Anybody fancy 440? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:17 | |
With me at 420. Hammer's dropping. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
Brilliant. We've done it. At the top end. That's a good result. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
-Thank you very much. -£420. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
What will you put that money towards? | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
I need a lot of repairs on my car so mostly go towards that. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
-And then I've got a couple of great-grandsons, so give them a bob or two. -What are their names? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:40 | |
-Jack and Billy. -Jack and Billy. Well, give them our love, won't you? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
-And get the car fixed. -Thank you. -Thanks very much. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
Will we get Christine her money back for those Victorian lustres? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
I don't think Philip thinks so. We're looking at £125 refund. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:04 | |
-But she's had the pleasure of owning them. -50 to 80. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
50 to 80 we've got on them. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
We've got a full house here. I think we might just do it. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:14 | |
We're going to find out... find out right now. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
This is it. Good luck, everybody. It's going under the hammer now. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
Pair of Victorian-style mill glass table lustres with the crown tops. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
Here they come. Lots of interest. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
Lots of interest. See. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
£130 is your start price for them. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
-Well done. -Anybody fancy 140 in the room? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
-Brilliant. -140 for them. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
So with me on commission at 130. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
No-one's putting their hands up, but it's on the books with commission. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
With me at 130. Hammer's dropping. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Yes. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
-Fantastic. -You've done really well. Well done, you. -Oh, that's lovely. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:56 | |
And I know what you're going to put the money towards. Tell us all. Come on. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:01 | |
I'm going to go to the Cotswolds for a long weekend with my husband, Alan. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
And it will be nice spending money. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
-Well done, you. -And tour all the antique shops in Stow. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
-We'll have a look. Yes. -Yes. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
This is a room with a secret. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
In there, two men are mixing a secret recipe. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:26 | |
A recipe for what, do you think? | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
A recipe for snuff. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
Well, I've left the hustle and the bustle of the auction room behind me | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
and I've come here to Wilsons and Co. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
One of the last remaining independent snuff manufacturers left in the country. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:56 | |
The family run business here at Sharrow Mills, in the heart of Sheffield, has been producing snuff | 0:25:56 | 0:26:01 | |
from a secret recipe which dates back as far as 1737. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:06 | |
The original machinery used to grind the tobacco to make snuff still survives. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:12 | |
It's left as a testament to a bygone age. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
Now, although snuff taking isn't as popular as it used to be, | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
one aspect of it still is very popular | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
and extremely collectable, and that's snuff boxes. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
To tell us more about it is a familiar Flog It face | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
and a good friend of mine, James Lewis. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
James, thank you for bringing a small part of your collection, cos I know it's massive, isn't it? | 0:26:32 | 0:26:38 | |
It is. I think I've got about 300-500, 400-600 altogether. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
Something like that. I'm not sure exactly how many. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
When did you start to collect snuff boxes? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
When I was younger, I had a passion for wood, just like you. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
And the problem is, when you're a schoolboy or just about to go to university, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:58 | |
you've got nowhere to put furniture. | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
If you're going to collect wood or treen or anything like that, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
you have to collect small things. I thought what better than snuff boxes. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
So, I had an interest back as a teenager, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
but the passion for snuff boxes really came from one of my first ever visits that I made as an auctioneer. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:17 | |
I went to see a lady in a little tiny cottage and halfway through the valuation I heard this... | 0:27:17 | 0:27:22 | |
HE SNORTS | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
I turned round to see this lady with snuff dribbling down the nostrils, all over herself, and she went... | 0:27:26 | 0:27:34 | |
-"Want some, lad?" -And did you? -No. I didn't. I didn't. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
Today, I probably would have, but back then, I was too shy and I said, "Oh, no, thank you." | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
And left her to it. But it started a strange fascination. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:49 | |
Gosh. Well, let's talk about some of the varieties and maybe pick on half a dozen. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:54 | |
OK. There are two types, really. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
You get the pocket snuff, which always have a very tight- fitting cover, for obvious reasons. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
And then you have the table snuff. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
The table snuff is normally bigger and sometimes has a loose cover. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
These three at the front here are all table snuff boxes | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
and they're by one of the most important snuff box makers of the early 18th century, | 0:28:11 | 0:28:17 | |
a chap called John Obrisset. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
He was the son of a Huguenot silversmith and specialised in working in horn and tortoiseshell. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:25 | |
And he was snuff box maker to Queen Anne. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
Oh, really. So that certainly is a name to look out for. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
Yeah. Queen Anne herself was a snuff taker. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
-Can we have a look at one of those? -Yeah. And wonderful detail. -That really is nice, isn't it? | 0:28:34 | 0:28:40 | |
You can hold that up to the light. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
-Yeah. -Look at that. You can see right through it and look at the detail. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
Great quality. Just as we find today that smoking is really quite a controversial subject, | 0:28:45 | 0:28:51 | |
snuff taking itself was controversial throughout the ages. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
And although Queen Anne was a snuff taker, | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
a hundred years earlier, King James, he despised it with a passion. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:03 | |
So if you were caught taking snuff in the presence of King James, you would end up in the Tower. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
-Really? -Yeah. Oh, he loathed it. Wherever he went, he would have messages sent forward, | 0:29:07 | 0:29:13 | |
"Do not take snuff, do not even indicate snuff in the presence of the King." | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
But in its heyday during the 18th century, snuff taking developed into an important social grace. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:24 | |
It remained popular well into the 20th century | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
and it was said you could tell a lot about a man's social status by the way he took his snuff. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:33 | |
Open the lid. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:39 | |
Take a pinch between the finger and thumb. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
Hold it for a moment so the warmth of the finger will bring out the bouquet of the snuff, | 0:29:42 | 0:29:47 | |
so you get the benefit of the flavour and inhale it. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
Close the snuff box. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
And then, if you like, just a little flourish with your coloured handkerchief. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:59 | |
I'm not a snuff box snob. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
I know a lot of these people say it's a silver gilt, | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
it's solid gold, it's this, it's that, it's encrusted with rubies. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:08 | |
And to be honest, that actually leaves me quite cold. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
-You like the tactile items. -Yeah. -Working man's snuff box. -Absolutely. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
I've seen a few of those. That's like the poor man's pinch. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
Yeah. Absolutely. Now, you generally call these Scottish snuffs. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
-I'm pleased you said that. -I can get away with it as a pure 100% Scot, so I can get away with it. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:28 | |
-The mean pinch. -That's exactly what they called them. Mean pinch. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
And they were made in brass and horn and treen. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
The idea was that you would close the gap in the centre, | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
so when you take the pinch of snuff, you can't take too much. Bit of fun. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
-Very eye-catching. I love the ram's horns. -They're brilliant. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:44 | |
Classic Scottish ram's horn snuff moles, they were called. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:50 | |
With a lovely silver mount. That's quality all the way through? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
Yeah. I think I've got about 30 of those altogether, and they come in different shapes and sizes. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:58 | |
Somebody has attached a silver watch chain to that so that they can carry it and put it over their arm, | 0:30:58 | 0:31:06 | |
because that one doubles as a snuff box on top, but also the end screws off and you can fill it with whisky. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:12 | |
That's a good idea, isn't it? | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
A lot of these are English and Continental. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
Where else in the world were they made? | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
Well, they were made almost everywhere. The interesting thing is, | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
in China, they don't have snuff boxes, they have snuff bottles, | 0:31:21 | 0:31:25 | |
simply because a sign of status in China | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
was to have wonderful, long, decorative fingernails. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
If you have long fingernails, you can't take snuff from a snuff box. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:35 | |
-You can't even... -No. You have a little shovel and straight up. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:40 | |
Now you're talking about that, we're in the best location possible | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
to show this sort of thing, and this is obviously ground-down tobacco. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:49 | |
-Do you think we should try some? -THEY LAUGH | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
-Didn't know you were a noseologist. -Is that what it's known as? | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
Yeah. A snuff taker in the 18th century was known as a noseologist. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
I don't fancy trying any of this stuff. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
-Go on. -No, we should try some fresh stuff when we get outside or we'll sneeze our heads off. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:07 | |
We're antique people. We should be trying the old stuff. Go on. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
Oh, I don't rate that at all. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
No. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
Whatever you do, don't try that at home. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
Back at the valuation day, Philip has sniffed out | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
something small and collectable, but it's not a snuff box. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:40 | |
-He's good, isn't he? -Like circles. -Yeah. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:48 | |
That's what I keep going round in. Roger, tell me about him, then. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:53 | |
Right. He belongs to a friend, who was given him when she was one. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:58 | |
-Yeah. -And she's now 61. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
So we can date it to about 1940s, perhaps earlier. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
Perhaps earlier, because I think it wasn't new when she was given it. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
-So perhaps somewhere between 1920s and '40s. -I would think so. Yeah. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
-Not played with much. -No. She tends to keep things in boxes. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
Yeah. What intrigues me is that she's kept this for 60 years. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:16 | |
Why sell it now? Why not sell it 20 years ago? | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
Nobody wants it in her family. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
-Yeah. -And she doesn't want it to end up in a skip. -Quite right too. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:25 | |
-She loves him. -Yeah. She loves him. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:27 | |
-Yes. -So she loves him that much that she's going to do the Solomon trick | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
-and make sure that somebody else now enjoys him. -Exactly. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
-He's clearly tin plate. -Yeah. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
And what we call a gold plush teddy. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
And I would think that he is probably German, certainly European, but probably German. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:43 | |
-Does she have any idea what he's worth? -She hasn't a clue. -I think... | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
-Is he a he? We'll call him a he. Does he have a name? -She calls him Ted. -Ted. That's original, isn't it? | 0:33:47 | 0:33:53 | |
-I think that Ted will make £50-80 at auction. -Lovely. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:58 | |
And I think we'll put a reserve on Ted at £45. How's that? | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
-That's magic. -Do you think she'll be pleased? -Very pleased. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
-Shall we just send him on his merry way again? -Lovely. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
I like to see him go. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
He seems to have a slightly concerned look on his face. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:15 | |
The thing is, he's not going anywhere, that's the problem. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
Jackie, have you been on holiday to lots and lots of different places or did you get these somewhere else? | 0:34:23 | 0:34:29 | |
I got them from my grandad. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
Right. Was he an avid collector of these things? | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
-Yes. I've got a lot more at home. -Oh, my word. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:39 | |
-Are they something you like? -Yes, but they're just in a box in the attic. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:44 | |
-Not doing very much. -Not doing very much at all. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
-Did your grandfather tell you anything about them? -No. -No? -Don't remember anything. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:50 | |
Basically, they fall under the term "crested china" and they are souvenirs for when you go on holiday. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:56 | |
They're produced in fairly large numbers and the first manufacturer was William Henry Goss. | 0:34:56 | 0:35:02 | |
This piece here was the only bit by him, but it's a good illustrative piece. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:07 | |
He developed this very fine parian body which was perfect | 0:35:07 | 0:35:11 | |
for slipcasting into all sorts of designs, and we've got the Goss mark on the bottom, which is a falcon, | 0:35:11 | 0:35:17 | |
cos he was working at the Falcon studios in Stoke, | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
from about 1862 up to 1934, when he was bought out, | 0:35:21 | 0:35:26 | |
but these other pieces are contemporary with him by his competitors. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:31 | |
So we've got, here, this fantastic ambulance which is by Savoy China, | 0:35:31 | 0:35:38 | |
and that, I would think, with the red cross on it, would be something made during the First World War. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:44 | |
So it would be quite a patriotic thing to buy this, and, possibly, | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
-some of the proceeds would have gone to our boys in the Front. -Oh, I see. -Similar thing with this shell. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:54 | |
What's tremendous fun and probably the most sought out | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
of all of these is this little ship, and we've got on it Wembley, April 1924, | 0:35:58 | 0:36:05 | |
so that was made for the Wembley Exhibition. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
And it's actually marked Wembley China, | 0:36:08 | 0:36:11 | |
with the appropriate mark underneath. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
I have to say, Goss has done a bit of a rollercoaster as far as values have gone. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:20 | |
In the early '80s, late '80s, it was really sought after, and individual pieces were making a fortune. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:25 | |
Now it's all settled back down again. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
-Any idea of what they might be worth as a group? -I have none at all. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
-Not any idea. -No. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
Just come down through the family. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
And it's just something that you've inherited, isn't it? | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
-Yeah. -If these pieces were by Goss, they would be a lot more valuable than they are. -Yeah. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:44 | |
So I think the thing to do is put all these together in one lot, | 0:36:44 | 0:36:49 | |
cos a couple of them have got chips and cracks, | 0:36:49 | 0:36:52 | |
and these really more commonplace pieces are worth £2 each. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:58 | |
I see. | 0:36:58 | 0:36:59 | |
Really, I think we'd be looking at auction between £50 and £80 for them, | 0:36:59 | 0:37:04 | |
as they are, and you never know, if one collector desperately wants a Wembley battleship, | 0:37:04 | 0:37:10 | |
they might pay a little bit more, so if you're happy, we can put these in to the auction with a £50 reserve, | 0:37:10 | 0:37:16 | |
so they won't go for any less, and see how they go. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
Yeah. Yes. That's fine by me. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
That's splendid. Thank you so much for bringing them along. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
You're welcome. Just glad to get rid of them. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
-Hi. Hello. -Hello. -What's your name? | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
-Christine. -Can I ask you, Christine, you're clutching that purse... | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
-I am, aren't I? -..what have you brought along for our valuers to look at today? | 0:37:38 | 0:37:43 | |
-I'm a big fan of Flog It! -Yeah. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
-I'm also a collector. -Right. Of what? -Salt and peppers. -Oh, are you? | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
-Salt and pepper shakers. Cruets. -Cruets. Yeah. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
Yeah. And I bought this one recently. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
-I'm never going to sell it. It's not for sale today. -In auction? | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
-Yes. On eBay, actually. -OK. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:58 | |
-I thought you might like to see this one. -Oh, go on, then. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
Oh, yes. Oh, look at that. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
I'm sure our experts would like to see that one as well. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:08 | |
-It's a little gavel. -The ends untwist. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
And that's the salt and pepper. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
-Oh, look at that. So you put the salt in there. -Yeah. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
And pepper in there. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:18 | |
-That is a cruet for an auctioneer, isn't it, if there ever was one? -It feels nice. -Can I have a hold? | 0:38:18 | 0:38:24 | |
You can. Go on, since it's you. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
Oh, look at that. How much did you pay for this? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
-A fiver. -It was a steal! | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
-Post included. -You're joking. -No, I'm not. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
Thanks for bringing it, and I'm sure if you ever put it into auction, all our experts would bid on that. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:41 | |
So, Barry, enjoy a drink? | 0:38:47 | 0:38:48 | |
-Oh, yeah. -Oh, yeah. -Oh, yeah. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
What...port, sherry AND claret? | 0:38:51 | 0:38:52 | |
All in one glass, yeah. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
Ruddy hell. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:55 | |
-Where'd you get these from? -Car-boot sale. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
Car-boot sale? How much did you pay for them? | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
-£6. -You're a man of generosity, aren't you? -Yeah. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
He wanted eight, actually, but... | 0:39:03 | 0:39:05 | |
-And you beat him down? -Yes, aye. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:07 | |
-How'd you do that? -That's the Yorkshire man in me. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
Do you have Horlicks to make you sleep at night? | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
-Like that advert. -Don't need it. -You don't need it? | 0:39:12 | 0:39:14 | |
I've a wife. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
Did you buy them because you thought they were cheap or because they were nice? | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
-I liked them. -You liked them? -Yeah. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:21 | |
Plus, I knew they were a give-away at £6. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:25 | |
Well, they were at eight as well. Where do you think they were made? | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
I'd imagine Staffordshire. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
I think so. There's something written on the back of this one | 0:39:30 | 0:39:34 | |
that could well be Copeland. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:35 | |
-They're certainly English. What date do you reckon? -1850s? | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
Spot on. Absolutely spot on, and I think they're great. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:41 | |
They would have been used... probably in a wine merchants. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:44 | |
Possibly even in a big country house, in the wine cellar. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
They would have been hanging on the barrels. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:49 | |
And you can just see the remains here, and it is very, very faded. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
It would have had... who the shipper was, the year, | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
which vineyard it came from. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:58 | |
And these would have been annexed to each barrel. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
And I think they're really, really collectable. I think... | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
-that we can put £40-£60 estimate on them all day long. -Yeah. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:10 | |
I think we can reserve them at £30. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
-I think that's a real come-buy-me estimate. -It should be. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:16 | |
It's a real come-buy-me estimate. And if you have a bit of luck, | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |
they might just go and make £100. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -So you'd be pleased with that? | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
Definitely, yeah. I've a wife and eight kids, so I need some money. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
-Eight?! -Aye. -Don't need to ask what your hobby is, then. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
I tell you one thing... don't you get home and get confused | 0:40:30 | 0:40:34 | |
-as to what the difference between port, sherry and claret is? -No. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
Janet, you've made my day bringing this little fellow in. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:46 | |
-Oh, good. -Can you tell me where you got him from? | 0:40:46 | 0:40:48 | |
It was brought to us at the church we attend. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:51 | |
People bring us things to sell at bric-a-brac sales, coffee mornings, | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
and we're never sure what we're going to find when we open the box. | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
This particular box arrived, and I was sorting it out, and this little fellow appeared. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:05 | |
Good Lord. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
So it was actually given to us. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
-That's marvellous. And it'll be sold on behalf of the church. -Correct. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
That's super. What a generous gift. I wonder if the giver knew how generous they were being. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:17 | |
I don't think so, and considering how it was in the bottom of the box, | 0:41:17 | 0:41:21 | |
there was all sorts of jewellery and broken toys and all sorts of things. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:25 | |
And that was just amongst them. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
Well, they could be forgiven, because it's only a little silver pincushion, | 0:41:27 | 0:41:31 | |
and these things shouldn't be worth a great deal of money. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:36 | |
-The animals that you get in pincushions, they started to be produced about 1895, 1900. -Yeah. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:44 | |
And Boots, would you believe it, produced them? | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
-Really. -Year on year. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:48 | |
And they would introduce a different animal or two different animals every year to the standard line. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:53 | |
Some are very common. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
You see chicks. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
You see pigs in different poses. | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
You see elephants. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
You occasionally see hedgehogs, and they're the more standard patterns that were produced year on year. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:07 | |
There are rarer ones. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
The rarest, I think, is the lizard, the spider, the lion. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:12 | |
And they're very sought after, but not far behind them is the camel. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:17 | |
Now, of course, you get two varieties of camel. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
You get a standing camel and a seated camel, and, of the two, the seated camel is rarer. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:25 | |
-Really. -So that's a lovely feature. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
Now, it should be by one of the big makers, Levi & Salaman of Birmingham. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
They produced a multitude of these small pincushions and other small work. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:37 | |
We've got the Birmingham town mark and the date letter for 1903. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:41 | |
So, that's absolutely right. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
The only thing to hold against it is the cushion itself. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:49 | |
-Right. -Cos that is not original. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:52 | |
But they do perish when they've been used. Pins in and out. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
So that's understandable. The rest of it's in super condition. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
There are no splits or little solder repairs. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
-Often with these pincushions, the necks go. -I see. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:05 | |
Cos they're given to overzealous children at the time, | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
and of course they play with them, and this sort of thing happens, | 0:43:08 | 0:43:12 | |
but that's quite a rare one and it will be sought after at auction. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 | |
So, it's being sold for the church funds. Let's see how well we can do. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:21 | |
I think we should put that in to auction for no less than £250-350. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:28 | |
We should have a fixed reserve of 250, | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
and, as I say, if two pincushion collectors haven't got the seated camel, | 0:43:31 | 0:43:36 | |
it could make much more than that, so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:40 | |
-If you're happy, we'll do that. -I certainly am happy. -Splendid. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:44 | |
Pop it into the auction and hope it does really well. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
-Thank you so much. -That's wonderful. I'm glad I've made your day. You've made my day. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:51 | |
Anybody's silver makes my day, but a pincushion doubly so. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
Another selection of items fit for the saleroom. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:59 | |
Someone's got to fall in love with this little chap. He's a real bit of fun. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:03 | |
At £50-80, this selection of crested china is a collector's dream. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:08 | |
With a wife and eight kids to support, | 0:44:09 | 0:44:12 | |
let's hope Barry makes the top end of the estimate with his wine cellar labels. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:17 | |
Finally, it's said all good things come in small packages, | 0:44:17 | 0:44:21 | |
and that's certainly true of Janet's camel pincushion. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
What a gorgeous little thing. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:25 | |
Right, we're scooting along nicely, which brings us to Ted the teddy bear on the scooter. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:33 | |
-It belongs to Roger and hopefully for not much longer. -Hopefully not. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:37 | |
Not with a sort of a £60 valuation. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:39 | |
Well, I think we put 60 to 80 on it, with a reserve of 45. | 0:44:39 | 0:44:43 | |
-That's going to sell, easily. -Should do. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |
It's not going to be Roger's for much longer, that's for sure. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:47 | |
It still works. That's the beauty of it, and I love it. | 0:44:47 | 0:44:51 | |
-Good tin-plate toy. -It's lovely. Yes. -Why are you selling this now? | 0:44:51 | 0:44:54 | |
It actually belongs to a lady I know, who's decluttering. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
She's getting rid of stuff, so she wants to get rid of it | 0:44:57 | 0:45:01 | |
-rather than it be thrown away at some point in the future. -Yes. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:05 | |
-Exactly. Yes. -He wants to be loved. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:07 | |
-Yeah, and that's what happens, isn't it? -I think Ted will find a new home today. -And be loved. -And be loved. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:13 | |
-She would like that, I know, very much. -What's her name? | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
-Angela. Angela Holland. -Angela. Well, best of luck. Fingers crossed. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:19 | |
Little Ted's going under the hammer right now. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:21 | |
385. Mid-20th century clockwork scooter teddy. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:26 | |
Must start the bidding here at £35. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:31 | |
38. 40. 2. Looking for 45. 48. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:35 | |
50. 5. 60. 5. 70. 5. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:40 | |
80. 5. 90. 85 seated. Anybody else want to join in? | 0:45:40 | 0:45:46 | |
All done at 85. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:48 | |
Hammer's dropping at £85. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:50 | |
-Yes! £85! -Ted's pedalled off. | 0:45:52 | 0:45:58 | |
-Little Ted did the business, didn't he? -He did the business. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:01 | |
Oh, that's a great result, isn't it? | 0:46:01 | 0:46:03 | |
-It's magic. It's superb. -He was quality, though. -He was. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:06 | |
-He was quality. -He was also fun. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
He was fun, yeah. Puts a smile on your face. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:11 | |
Hope we put a smile on your face, as well, watching. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:13 | |
There's lots more in the attic and this is just the start for Jackie. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:22 | |
Those Goss collections. How many more are in that attic? | 0:46:22 | 0:46:26 | |
About 50 pieces, probably. Yeah. | 0:46:26 | 0:46:29 | |
So, if we get a good result today, you can get the rest out. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:33 | |
-Yeah. Yeah. -What are they doing up in the attic? | 0:46:33 | 0:46:36 | |
-They've been sat in a box since they were handed down from my grandad. -You haven't put them on display? | 0:46:36 | 0:46:41 | |
-No. Not at all. -Don't really like them? | 0:46:41 | 0:46:43 | |
I like them, but I haven't got room for them and I think somebody else who collects it should benefit. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:48 | |
There's a couple of nice ones. The little ship and the lorry. They peaked, didn't they? | 0:46:48 | 0:46:52 | |
They had a high in the sort of late '80s and they've petered out. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:56 | |
Hopefully, with such interesting models, some Goss collector would leap out and say... | 0:46:56 | 0:47:01 | |
"I haven't got the leopards, I haven't got the car, I've got to have that one." | 0:47:01 | 0:47:05 | |
A huge amount of crested china. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:07 | |
Goss and other items included. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:10 | |
The bidding has started at £65. | 0:47:10 | 0:47:12 | |
-That's good. We've sold them. -70 I'm looking for in the room. | 0:47:12 | 0:47:16 | |
70. 5. 80. I'm out. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:20 | |
-Anybody else for 85? -Come on. Come on. -It's a standing bid. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:25 | |
All done at 80? All done at 80? | 0:47:25 | 0:47:28 | |
He's going to put the hammer down. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:30 | |
-We'll settle for that. Top end. £80. -Pleased with that. -Happy? -Yes. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:35 | |
We could be in for a little surprise now. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
Just been joined by Barry. I have Philip, our valuer. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
£40-£60 on these five wine labels... | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
-which you picked up for, how much? Remind us all. -£6. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:52 | |
£6 for the lot. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:55 | |
-A poorly octopus...£6. -I think... Yes. I think, you know... | 0:47:55 | 0:48:00 | |
we could do £150, if there's two buyers that like these right now. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
I think if you get two people who are interested in, sort of, wine memorabilia and the like, | 0:48:03 | 0:48:08 | |
-I think... Let's just hope we have some spirited bidding. -Yes. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
And I think each little label could be worth £30-£40 each. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:14 | |
-So, add that up... -400. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:17 | |
-Ching, ching. -I think they'll do £100. -Hopefully, hopefully. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
There's a good crowd here, a good crowd of people here. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:24 | |
-So they'll make what they're worth. -Yup. I'm hoping for 150. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:27 | |
-You know what Philip wants, let's find out. -We know what I want. | 0:48:27 | 0:48:30 | |
Yeah, more the better. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:31 | |
Let's find out what this lot want. We've got a packed auction room. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:35 | |
Let's see some hands go up in the air. | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
Three earthenware wine cellar labels, | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
together with two circular numbered bin discs. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
Some nice 19th-century pottery. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:44 | |
Other people like them, | 0:48:44 | 0:48:46 | |
-there's lots of interest on the commissions. -Great. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:49 | |
-I'm forced to start them at 140. -Oh! -Get in there. | 0:48:49 | 0:48:53 | |
I'll take 150, from somebody in the room. 150, is it? | 0:48:53 | 0:48:57 | |
-Come on. -With me at 140, 150. | 0:48:57 | 0:49:02 | |
I'm out. Looking for 160? | 0:49:02 | 0:49:03 | |
150 at the top. Still cheap. | 0:49:03 | 0:49:07 | |
Finally, at 150. Have we finished? | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
Yes, hammer's gone down. £150. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:15 | |
-You were right. -Well, you've got... | 0:49:15 | 0:49:18 | |
great eyes for spotting a bargain at a car-boot sale. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:21 | |
I went to Specsavers. | 0:49:21 | 0:49:23 | |
-Janet, it's great to see you, and you look fantastic. -Thank you. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
-Michael. -Yes. -You love this. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:34 | |
I love it. A lot of pincushion collectors love it. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:38 | |
A little silver camel. 250 to 350. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:41 | |
The auctioneer rated this. I had a chat to him, and we both thought, | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
"So unusual, you see lots of pigs, lots of hedgehogs, all sorts of animals..." | 0:49:44 | 0:49:49 | |
You see a lot of camels, but you don't see a kneeling camel. That's the key thing. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:54 | |
-All the money's going towards the church restoration, isn't it? -That's correct. -Fingers crossed. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:59 | |
A good lot, this one. | 0:49:59 | 0:50:02 | |
Other people like it. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:04 | |
The commission's forcing me to start this lot off at £420. | 0:50:04 | 0:50:09 | |
-Oh. -Bang. Straight in. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:12 | |
430 I'm looking for elsewhere. | 0:50:12 | 0:50:14 | |
430 is it? 430 is it? | 0:50:14 | 0:50:17 | |
-With me at 420. -Oh, come on. Come on. -Get your bids in quick. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:21 | |
Bid now or lose him. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
-Not bad at all. -I can't believe it! -The top end of the estimate. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:27 | |
Fantastic. £420. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:29 | |
-I'm so pleased for you, and it's going to a good cause as well. -Yes. | 0:50:29 | 0:50:33 | |
It is. Yeah. I couldn't believe when you said 250 to 350, but 420 is fabulous. I'm thrilled to bits. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:40 | |
-Oh, and name-check the church again. -Hillsborough Tabernacle. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:44 | |
It's obviously in Hillsborough. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:46 | |
Hillsborough Tabernacle Congregational Church, | 0:50:46 | 0:50:48 | |
and we've got a big restoration programme, | 0:50:48 | 0:50:51 | |
and one of the things we want is a lift to meet the Disability Act. | 0:50:51 | 0:50:55 | |
-Right, OK. -So that's, you know... -Money's going towards that. -Yeah. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:58 | |
-So it's really for a good cause. -Thank you so much for coming in. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:01 | |
We've had a great time here in Sheffield, haven't we? | 0:51:01 | 0:51:04 | |
-We have. -I hope you've enjoyed watching the show. Join us again for more Flog Its coming up soon. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:09 |
