0:00:01 > 0:00:05We're in a Scottish town most people associate with a football club.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Welcome to Flog It!, from Kilmarnock!
0:00:07 > 0:00:09CHEERING
0:00:31 > 0:00:33We're at the Palace Theatre
0:00:33 > 0:00:35and there is a massive crowd gathering,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38all laden with antiques and collectables.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Are they any Kilmarnock supporters here?- Yes!- Yes! That is good news.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Our two experts today are James Lewis and David Fletcher,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48and let's hope they're big fans of what this lot have brought along.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50In fact, we're going to find out when we get inside.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53It's now 9:30 and it's time to kick off.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57And before full time, there's plenty of excitement to come.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We've got girl power at the auction.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03as "Flog It!" favourite Anita Manning and her daughter Lala
0:01:03 > 0:01:07team up with some great results.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09With Lala on the phone at £210.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Brilliant. We're smashing our targets.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17So let's get cracking with the first item of the day, and James is kicking off.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19LAUGHTER
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Kate, tell me, are you a great snuff-taker?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25- I certainly am not, no!- No?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28You don't have the brown stains on your upper lip that give it away?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I hope not.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34So what are you doing with a snuff box?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Well, this snuff box was passed down to me from my parents.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42My memory of it is my mother, who was a very keen floral arranger,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- making lovely miniature arrangements in it.- Oh, really?- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49She used to go to rural competitions and things like that
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and always wanted to do well.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55But that's my memory of it and ever since I've had it,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- it's been sitting in a cabinet doing very little.- Ah.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I thought, "I'll bring it along, see what you can tell me about it."
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I love it. One of the main reasons why I love it
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- is because it's so plain, so simple. - Yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13It's engine-turned in bands, very plain, simple designs.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18And we've got this engine-turning on the sides all the way round
0:02:18 > 0:02:19and underneath.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22And what's slightly unusual is you would normally find
0:02:22 > 0:02:25what we call a cartouche, a little plain area
0:02:25 > 0:02:28where the owner can engrave their initials or their crest
0:02:28 > 0:02:30or their family coat of arms.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- On this one, there's nowhere for that.- There's nothing like that, no.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36So if we open it up...
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Lovely. Silver-gilt inside.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43That prevents the acid in the snuff attacking the silver and reacting,
0:02:43 > 0:02:44and making the silver turn green.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47We've got a nice, clear set of hallmarks.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49WT for the maker,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52the lion passant, which is the mark for English silver,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55the leopard's head with the crown, which is the mark for London.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00The head of George III, which means the duty or the tax has been paid on the silver,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04and a date letter there, which is the R for 1811, 1812.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Oh, right.- A really nice early one.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I didn't realise it was as old as that.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- 200 years.- Nearly 200 years old. - Yes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- What do you think it's worth? - Actually, I haven't a clue, really, to be quite honest.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21Obviously it's silver, so would it be about £100?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Shall we swap seats?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- You're spot-on.- Really?- Yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Am I?- Yes.- I hadn't a clue! Is that right? Oh, well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34It's a predictably boring auctioneer's estimate of £80-£120.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- Is it? Uh-huh.- £100 is spot-on. - Well, that sounds very good.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Yeah? Is that all right? - Yes, absolutely.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Protect it with a reserve. £80 as a reserve?- That sounds fine.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47If it doesn't make that, you can take it home
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- and do flower arrangements again. - I can't, really.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52You need a bit of training for that.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Hello, Alexandra. - Oh, call me Sandra.- Sandra?- Yes.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- OK. Don't you like Alexandra? - No, that's my Sunday name.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Your Sunday name, OK.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- As this isn't Sunday, I will call you Sandra.- Thank you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Welcome. I love this. What can you tell me about it?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Well, it's a family piece.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's been in the family for as long as I can remember
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and it always intrigued me because of its odd shape.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I always thought it was the "gone-wrong" jug
0:04:24 > 0:04:27because of its back - it wasn't round.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Yes, you're right. One side has been almost shaved off, hasn't it?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Do you know where it was made? - I think it was Royal Worcester.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Absolutely right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- I'm sure you've looked underneath. - Yes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41You can learn so much about Royal Worcester by doing just that.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44The Royal Worcester mark is a printed mark
0:04:44 > 0:04:46and it has a series of dots.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51The first dot appears in 1892
0:04:51 > 0:04:55and the second dot, 1893, and so on.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00As we can see, this has two dots, so that makes 1893.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Right.- Late Victorian, in other words.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07And what's more, by looking at this, we have the shape,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09we can identify the shape as well.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- That 1094 is the shape number. - Right.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16That shape number was available in various sizes.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- It was a very popular shape number. I know you don't like it.- No.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23But the Victorians did.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26The decoration is hand-painted
0:05:26 > 0:05:30but it's hand-painted over a transfer print,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and it meant that the person who was painting the pattern
0:05:33 > 0:05:35didn't have to be quite as talented
0:05:35 > 0:05:39as they might have had to have been had they been working freehand.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42OK, it's now my job to tell you what I think it might make
0:05:42 > 0:05:46and I would estimate this at between
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- £50 and £80.- Mm-hm.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52To safeguard it, I think we should put a reserve of £50 on it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'm quite happy with that.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And let's hope there are more people out there who, unlike you,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- do like this...- Gone-wrong jug. - ..gone-wrong jug more than you do.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Look what I've found - some bloomers.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Or ladies' undergarments.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- They're early 20th century, those ones. They're machine-made.- Yeah.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- You actually make lace, don't you? - I do make lace, yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- How did that come about?- It was a family holiday we took some years ago
0:06:25 > 0:06:27in Loughborough University.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29They did summer schools and I had a choice between
0:06:29 > 0:06:31violin-making or lace-making.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- I chose the lace-making.- Is it a hobby or a profession?- A hobby.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You can't make money at it, it's just...
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I know the ladies in Bruges, over in Belgium,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45that's the centre of excellence for lace-making, as far as I'm concerned,
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- and you can still see those sweet old ladies sitting outside their cottages.- Oh, yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Tourist pieces but nevertheless.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I mean, my eye gravitates towards that piece
0:06:55 > 0:06:57because that looks handmade.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Yes, that's Brussels lace. - That's Brussels, is it?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Any damage?- Yes, there is some. - Oh, is there?- Yes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06But it's been beautifully repaired at some point.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Oh, gosh.- It's quite large, this one. - It is, yeah. It's quite a big one.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Look at that.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15It's been beautifully patched, if I can find it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- And that's all handmade, isn't it? - Yes.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23The netting is machine-made, I'm almost certain.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27But these will be handmade. You can see it's been appliqued onto the net.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- You can see the netting at the back. - How did you come by this?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I think it was a collectors' fair.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39I found it in a box and the woman said, "I'm awfully sorry,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41"I'll need to charge you £12 for it."
0:07:41 > 0:07:43And I said, "Yes, please."
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Yes! You couldn't give her the money fast enough.- No, no.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51This is a late Victorian piece. This is very, very nice.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- Oh, there's one patch, there. You see how it's been mended?- Oh, yes.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Isn't that beautiful? - That's quite skilfully done.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- I think there's a fair bit of value in that one alone.- That's good.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- So that's good news, isn't it? - More than my £12.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- What else have we got? - This is a machine-made shawl,
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- which put the handmade lace-makers out of work, more or less.- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- You can see it's flatter. - It's busier.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah, there's a lot more in it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's flatter and it doesn't have the life that the home-made one does.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25There's no lift from the extra thread,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28just the continuous going over
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- and fattening up certain pieces. - Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35So we've got the bloomers, we've got a lovely bit of handmade work,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37some machine work, there.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Any idea of the combined value?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I've no idea because it's not something I've bought for...
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Investment.- ..investment.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It's just something I've acquired, mostly.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Well, I think that's your key factor...- Uh-huh. Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54..that handmade shawl, really.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58And that will help get the rest away. There's some fun items.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02How about giving them a value of £75 to £100?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I'm surprised. That's much more than I would have thought, actually.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Well, I think there'll be textile dealers and collectors there
0:09:10 > 0:09:12and it's a lot they will be interested in.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Let's put it in with a value of £75-£100,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- with 10% discretion on the 75. - That sounds fine to me.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- There's something for everybody here.- Good.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Frank, tell me, that is a really dainty, feminine watch
0:09:28 > 0:09:30for a bloke like you to have here at Flog It!
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- How come you've got it? - Well, I was given it from an aunt and uncle from the States
0:09:35 > 0:09:36about 20, 25 years ago.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40And they're no longers with me
0:09:40 > 0:09:44but that's one of the things they gave me when I visited them over there.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Ah. Well, it's a lovely quality watch
0:09:46 > 0:09:51and the first thing that strikes me is this wonderful enamelling
0:09:51 > 0:09:54on the wires. We've got swallow-tailed birds.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56They're meant to be swallows
0:09:56 > 0:09:59but they're artist's impressions of swallows, I think,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02resting on their telegraph wires.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07And right in the centre of these swallows
0:10:07 > 0:10:11we've got two old, brilliant-cut stones.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14They're certainly diamonds, beautifully mounted.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17If we open it up... Lovely.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- You say you brought it back from America. It's an American watch.- Yeah.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25It's by the Elgin watch company, based in Illinois.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Elgin were the probably the leading exporters
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- of pocket watches from America... - OK.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34..into Europe in the early part of the 20th century.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38This is a lovely quality one. 14-carat gold, made in America.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41The case is American, as well as the movement.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45One of the good things about Elgin, they were established in 1864,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and one of the things that they did, they numbered every single watch
0:10:49 > 0:10:55and if we look in the back here, we've got the serial number 5714662.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00That will tell us the exact date that this watch was made,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04and it's somewhere between 1890 and 1895,
0:11:04 > 0:11:05somewhere around there.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So it's a very pretty little thing.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Now, value. Any ideas?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Not got a clue.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- I think the right auction estimate would be 300-400.- Yeah?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I think and I hope it'll make the top end.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24We need to think about a reserve to protect it. Is 300 OK?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Yeah, that's fine.- Yeah? 300 reserve, 300-400 estimate -
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- let's see what it does. - That's great. Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36We've been working flat-out this morning,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38we've found our first few items
0:11:38 > 0:11:40and everybody has enjoyed themselves.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44It's time to go to the auction room, so while we make our way there,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48we'll leave you with a casting list of our star performers.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51This 19th-century silver snuff box caught James' eye
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and it looks like he met his match with its owner, Kate.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- What do you think it's worth? - Would it be about £100?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Shall we swap seats? You're spot-on.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Really?- Yeah.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Let's hope it all goes right with Sandra's gone-wrong jug,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09the oddly shaped piece of Royal Worcester,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12valued at £50-£80.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I've been checking out Hazel's drawers.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Look what I've found. Some bloomers.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Or ladies' undergarments.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Her drawers full of vintage lace and other textiles, that is,
0:12:23 > 0:12:28and I think she could stitch up £75-£100.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31And James loves Frank's early 20th-century hunter watch.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Let's hope they love it enough at the auction
0:12:34 > 0:12:37to pay his £300-£400 estimate.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40All those items could get a flying start
0:12:40 > 0:12:42at Great Western Auctions in Glasgow
0:12:42 > 0:12:46because today we have Anita Manning wielding the gavel.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47200.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50There is around about 800 lots in today's sale,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52so we'd better get started.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Time's up for the gold half hunter pocket watch belonging to Frank,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06who's brought his son Greg along. How old are you, Greg?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Are you going to speak? - Come on, we've been practising this.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Two!- Three.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Three!- Three! That did the trick, James. He's three.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18We're looking at £300-£400 for the half hunter.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- It is quality.- Lovely quality, great enamel work. A lovely watch.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27It's something that if you pick up, you don't want to put down.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Hopefully, it's been viewed here, people have been picking it up,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34going, "Ooh, ooh. I might have a go on this. It feels good."
0:13:34 > 0:13:35If it feels good, we've sold it.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Lot 80, ladies and gentlemen.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41That's the bonniest little fob watch that I've seen in a long time.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Will you start me at two? 200 bid.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46200, 200. 210?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49With Lala on the phone at £210.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51220, 230.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53240, 250.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56260, 270.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58280, 290.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00300.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05300. All done at 300? 300...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Hooray. Well done. - Just. £300, Frank.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- That was your first auction and you sold something.- Yes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And you've got a daughter as well. What's her name?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Natalie.- Natalie. That's a gorgeous name.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19So are both the kiddies going to have something out of this?
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- Oh, probably, yeah.- And Mum and Dad. - Yes, of course.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Ah, well, it was a family treasure. Thank you for coming in.
0:14:27 > 0:14:2990, 100.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30110.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33It's the Royal Worcester jug, belongs to Sandra,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and we've got £50-£80 on this, which is not a great deal of money.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It's a top name. It's been in the family a long time.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think it was my cousin's and my aunt's before that.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45You've all passed it around and had pleasure with it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Why is it time to go now, though? - It doesn't do anything.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- You don't like it. - I don't DISLIKE it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Whether you like Royal Worcester or not, it is as good as ceramic art gets.- Yes.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's beautifully potted, lovely, fine quality.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Somebody out there will love this. - Hopefully.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03There's always a buyer for something and they will be paying £80.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It's going now under the hammer now. This is it. Good luck.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Lot 553 is the Royal Worcester, ivory ground, flat-back jug.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Can we say £100? 100? 80?
0:15:13 > 0:15:1560?
0:15:15 > 0:15:1630?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20£30. 30 bid. 40, 50, 60.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- £60.- Come on.
0:15:22 > 0:15:2470, fresh bidder.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- 80. Fresh bidder again.- Yes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29At £80. With you, sir, at £80.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31All done at £80? £80...
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Yes! What did I say? 80! It was bang-on.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38You're a far better valuer than I am! I just said 50 to 80.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- It was a pure guess. I just opened my mouth.- Honest.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Hey, that was a good result. - Not bad.- There is commission to pay.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- What are you going to put the rest of the money towards?- A willow tree.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- A willow tree!- Yes.- Ah!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53200, 210, 220.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57220. Any advance on 220?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58230.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02This next lot should be a pinch, shouldn't it, at £80-£120?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Kate's solid silver snuff box.- Yes.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Why are you selling this?
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Well, this snuff box has been sitting in my cabinet in the lounge for many years
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and it's gathering dust, basically, so I think it's time to sell it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Well, I know we need top money because at the valuation day, you both discussed
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- the proceeds of the sale were going towards a painting.- That's right.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27So what's this painting? Is it something you're buying in auction?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30No, it's a local artist from Girvan, James Harrigan.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33He does lovely paintings of the West Coast,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36of Arran and Ailsa Craig, so I'm hoping to put it towards that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41147 is this. Now, it's George III, it's a silver snuff box
0:16:41 > 0:16:46with engine-turned decoration, and it's London, 1812.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Georgian snuff box in mint condition.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Start me at £100. 100?
0:16:53 > 0:16:5550, then? 50 bid.
0:16:55 > 0:16:5750, 60, 70.
0:16:57 > 0:16:5980, 90.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- 100.- We're getting there.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03110, 120.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07120 on the floor for the Georgian snuff box.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Any advance on £120?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12All done at 120? 120.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Well, that's great news. There's commission to pay...- Right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- ..but it's something towards that painting.- I'm delighted.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- My first auction experience of an auction so I'm thrilled. - Oh, is it?- Yes, yes!
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Oh, good for you. Keep coming back. - I certainly will.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I need to sell some more things to get this painting.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34£90.
0:17:34 > 0:17:351152.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Hopefully Anita can weave some magic on this next lot
0:17:39 > 0:17:42because it's Hazel's textiles, some wonderful items of lace,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45with a valuation is £75-£100.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50I don't know how heavily this has been viewed and if it's anybody's cup of tea here
0:17:50 > 0:17:54and Anita hasn't said anything to me, so it's a stab in the dark.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- But it's a packed auction room, so fingers crossed.- Yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59266, ladies and gentlemen,
0:17:59 > 0:18:04a lot comprising various lace shawls, bonnets, etc.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10It's a super collection of hand-embroidered Victorian clothes.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Can we say £200?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15£100, surely, ladies and gentlemen?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18£100? 50, then?
0:18:18 > 0:18:2150? 50 bid. Any advance on 50? 60.
0:18:21 > 0:18:2370, 80.
0:18:23 > 0:18:2590. £90.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Any advance on £90?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30All done at £90. £90...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It's sold. I got very nervous to start with
0:18:33 > 0:18:37because it's the only textiles here. How will you spend the money?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I'm going to buy some commemorative bobbins with "I flogged it" on them.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Thank you, Hazel. Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Well, that's the end of our first visit to today's auction.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Later on, there are plenty more antiques to go under the hammer,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52so there are more surprises to come.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54That last lot gave me a great idea.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I'm going to nip off to Kilmarnock and visit a place called Newmilns.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Strangely enough, it's the oldest surviving lace-making factory in the world.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13These machines have been making lace for over 100 years.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16They helped established the Irvine valley in Ayrshire
0:19:16 > 0:19:19as the world centre of Nottingham lace.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23And little has changed from the days when thousands of local people
0:19:23 > 0:19:27worked in 39 such factories up and down the valley.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30This company, Morton Young & Borland, was founded
0:19:30 > 0:19:33by three Scots gentlemen in the early 1900s
0:19:33 > 0:19:38and it's the only one of those lace factories still in production.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41These machines run from six o'clock in the morning
0:19:41 > 0:19:44until ten o'clock at night, turning out lace.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48That's a long shift. It's industry working at full tilt.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It almost takes me back to the Industrial Revolution,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54where the whole nation is driving forwards.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58And what a racket! Let's get them turned off and go and have a chat to the boss.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Scott.- How are you doing, Paul? - Thank you for talking to me.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13So your grandmother was in the industry all her life?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16She worked as a Madras weaver for many years in the industry
0:20:16 > 0:20:19and at that time, they could flit between different factories
0:20:19 > 0:20:23because there were many factories in that line of business.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Why did Nottingham lace move to Kilmarnock? What was the reason?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30There's always been a tradition of hand-loom weaving in the valley,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33right from the 1700s,
0:20:33 > 0:20:38and then the Nottingham lace-makers had a good industry in Nottingham
0:20:38 > 0:20:40in the 1850s, 1860s.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43So when the power looms started,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Alexander Morton brought the first loom to Darvel in 1876,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50and since then, the business just snowballed.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52So what was the demise over the years, then?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Why is there only one left?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57The demise has been the introduction, possibly, of the polyester
0:20:57 > 0:21:01and high-speed looms from Germany in the '50s and '60s.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05And then people's attitude to furnishings changed.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08They wanted a lot more easy-care fabrics for their windows.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13It was a case of, with lace, it's very hard to maintain and wash
0:21:13 > 0:21:14and stretch back into shape,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17whereas the polyester, you washed it and hang straight back up.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- And the future of the company? - The future is looking quite good.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Obviously it's difficult times with the recession
0:21:24 > 0:21:27but hopefully we'll be here in another 100 years' time.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It's a proud tradition.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32These are thought to be members of the three founding families,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36posing in the early 1900s with outfits made from the company's own lace.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Today, Morton Young & Borland still export lace around the world
0:21:41 > 0:21:46and keep an archive of every one of the 20,000 designs they've produced
0:21:46 > 0:21:48in their 100-year history.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52They employ 65 people and there's plenty of work.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Back at the Palace Theatre, people are still flooding in
0:22:02 > 0:22:06with their collectables and antiques. Next in line is Janet.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Hello, Janet.- Hi.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11She's brought in a trio of delights for David to have a look at.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14What have you brought here for us today?
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Well, that's two Edwardian brooches and a necklace.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Do you not wear these?- No, I haven't worn them for a long time.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Right. It's a shame that people don't wear jewellery like this.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32I think you wouldn't even have gone out to the shops without putting your jewellery on in 1900.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Of course, today we don't think about doing that.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38We'll go out to dinner and we'll leave our jewellery behind.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Erm... Three charming pieces.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Stylistically, each one is quite different.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I think the piece I prefer is this brooch here,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52which is in the, or at least refers a bit to, the Art Nouveau style.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57You know, that style which is characterised by whiplash forms
0:22:57 > 0:22:59and extended tendril forms.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03So this is, broadly speaking, in the Art Nouveau style.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06The star brooch set with pearls,
0:23:06 > 0:23:10which ascend from the tips of the star up to the centre.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13And this is hallmarked,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15nine-carat gold.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19And I think most interesting of all is the chain,
0:23:19 > 0:23:24which is fastened by a nine-carat gold clip
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- but which tests as 18-carat gold. - Yes.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30This is hollow gold, so it's actually quite light, as you know.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34And it seems that this started out life as a belcher.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Do you know what a belcher is?- No.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41A belcher is a long, decorative chain
0:23:41 > 0:23:44that would have been worn perhaps looped twice round a lady's neck,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47you know, just to give some impact.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51It would have been a most impressive piece of jewellery to be wearing.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53This is a belcher that's been cut down.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57It's been converted to a small necklace.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Now, as far as values are concerned, the Art Nouveau piece
0:24:01 > 0:24:05with the moonstone and ivory terminals
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- I think is worth between £30 and £50.- Mm-hm.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12The star brooch, another £30-£50,
0:24:12 > 0:24:17and I would place an estimate of £70-£100
0:24:17 > 0:24:22on the necklace stroke reduced belcher.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25And I think they should be offered as one lot
0:24:25 > 0:24:31- at an estimate of £130 to £200... - OK.- ..with a reserve of £130.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35And with luck and a following wind, they might make a bit more.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- How does that seem to you? - Yeah, that sounds OK, yeah.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Jolly good. We'll go for that, then. OK?- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Elizabeth, I have to say, this brings back so many memories.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02You know, going back 23, 24 years when I was a student.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I was actually training to be a vet at that time
0:25:04 > 0:25:10but I went to a house sale in a place called Bingham where I was having my vet work experience,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12and on the mantelpiece of this house sale
0:25:12 > 0:25:16were a pair of vases just like this - Morris ware -
0:25:16 > 0:25:18and I fell in love with them.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21So, tell me, is this something that you've loved over the years?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Yes, it was my mother's.- Was it?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27And she gave it to us because we liked it
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- but I've got so many ornaments. - Have you really?- Yes.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Too many.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Isn't that a great shape? It's sort of a gourd shape, isn't it?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I love it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I guess if you turn it over you've got the mark there.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Morris ware, S Hancock & Sons, Stoke-on-Trent,
0:25:42 > 0:25:47- and Hancock & Sons became S Hancock & Sons in 1881.- Mm-hm.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51But this type of ware, Morris ware,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54was designed by a chap called George Cartlidge
0:25:54 > 0:25:57and he was working there from about 1910
0:25:57 > 0:25:59up until the mid 1920s.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Is it something that you use? Do you keep flowers in it?
0:26:02 > 0:26:07- You can't because, well, slight crack.- A slight crack?
0:26:08 > 0:26:13- Oh, yes.- I don't use water in it. For dried flowers it's all right.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Dried flowers!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- You're trying to sell it again now, aren't you?- I am.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- You've ruined it now!.- You can put beautiful dried flowers in there.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23We've got a crack that comes all the way down the side there.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- It's always had that, as far as I know.- Yeah.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Oh. In perfect condition, it would be very, very saleable.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Do you have any ideas on value? - Not really, I didn't.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Because of the crack, I thought, well, obviously it might affect it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It will affect it. It will significantly affect it.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- I think in perfect condition, it's £300-£500.- Mm-hm.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- With the crack, around 100.- Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- 100 to 120, something like that. - Yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Shall we put a reserve of 80? - I wouldn't like it to go for less than that.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Is that all right for you? - Yes, no less than that.- Fantastic.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05David, it's very easy to talk about being privileged to see things
0:27:05 > 0:27:11but it is the best collection of Mauchline ware I've ever seen.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Did your family have a connection with the Mauchline factory?
0:27:14 > 0:27:19Yes, my father worked there for the first part of his working life.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22And the collection was formed by him?
0:27:22 > 0:27:28- No, it was inherited from his uncle. - OK.- It came to him when he died.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32So in fact, Father inherited it and then I inherited it from my father.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Just quickly to explain, and we could spend a long time doing this,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40but, broadly speaking, we have tartan ware,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42which I think speaks for itself,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46and boxes decorated in some other manner,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- some with transfer prints.- Yes.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52The Mauchline factory was established
0:27:52 > 0:27:54in the early 19th century,
0:27:54 > 0:27:59and in the early days, they hand-painted the tartan decoration
0:27:59 > 0:28:00onto the boxes.
0:28:00 > 0:28:06But at a later date, a method was invented whereby the tartan pattern
0:28:06 > 0:28:08was transfer-printed onto a piece of paper
0:28:08 > 0:28:11and the paper itself was glued to the wood,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14which in every instance, I think, is sycamore.
0:28:14 > 0:28:21In 1933, I think I'm right in saying, production ceased.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Well, it didn't cease completely.- No?
0:28:25 > 0:28:31- But it dropped because of the fire, yeah.- There was a fire?
0:28:31 > 0:28:32- There was a fire.- Was there?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I know that my father got in
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- and got his tools out before... - Did he?- Yeah.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- Before the fire got too much of a hold.- Right.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47But I was only three at the time, so I can't tell you too much about that.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50So it's partly folklore, as far as you're concerned,
0:28:50 > 0:28:55but, as I say, the history of the firm runs in your blood,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57by the sounds of it. What we've done, David,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00is just think in terms of how we would lot this up.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05I'll quickly go through that with you.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10So I would suggest that these three tulip vases went in one lot.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13This group here formed another lot.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Another group of smaller items over here.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Four boxes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Two tartan ware boxes here.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23A group of five boxes here
0:29:23 > 0:29:28and we'd finish with this pair of spill vases here,
0:29:28 > 0:29:34keeping back to offer on its own this early box here.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Having discussed how we would catalogue them,
0:29:37 > 0:29:41I think the maximum estimate would be £1,500,
0:29:41 > 0:29:45bottom estimate and reserve, I think, should be £1,000.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- Are you happy for us to go ahead? - Yes, certainly.- You're a star
0:29:49 > 0:29:52and I'm sure it will do very well.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55That's the business done here at the Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Time to take those items to auction and count the cash.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Here's a run-down of what we're taking.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Janet's Edwardian jewellery doesn't really see the light of day much
0:30:06 > 0:30:07as she doesn't wear them.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09David thinks it's time to put them to work
0:30:09 > 0:30:12and earn her £130-£200.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17This gourd-shaped Morris ware vase has a hidden secret.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22- Do you keep flowers in it?- You can't cos, well, slight crack.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- Slight crack.- But owner Elizabeth still thinks it has a use.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- For dried flowers it's all right. - Dried flowers!
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- You're trying to sell it again now, aren't you?- Yes, I am!
0:30:31 > 0:30:33And top of today's valuations,
0:30:33 > 0:30:3625 items of quintessentially Scottish Mauchline ware.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I'll need my calculator ready
0:30:38 > 0:30:41because David is dividing it up into eight lots.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48But does Anita have different ideas about David's valuation?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Now, we've gone with David's division.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55We have divided them into eight lots.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- And what we have here are two of the best lots.- I think so.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04These wonderful tulip vases don't come up all that often.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I was just about to say that. I've not seen any like this before.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09What sort of value have you put on the tulip vases?
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- We've put 400-600.- That's the bulk, really, of the estimate, isn't it?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16What have you put on the little box?
0:31:16 > 0:31:19The little box, again I've estimated conservatively.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25250-350. I'm hoping that it will go at least mid-estimate
0:31:25 > 0:31:29and on a good day, it might do the top estimate.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- I think you're right, there. - It is a beautiful little piece.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39And the Mauchline buyers like to collect the different tartans
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- and there are thousands of them. - There must be.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Is there a tartan in your clan?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- We're of Irish descent, Paul.- Oh!
0:31:48 > 0:31:50But there might be somewhere.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Maybe that's a wee bit of research that I can do personally.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57The Mauchline ware will go under the hammer a little later
0:31:57 > 0:32:00but first, it's Janet's beautiful collection of jewellery.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Why did you decide to sell them?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Well, I haven't worn them for a while
0:32:06 > 0:32:10and I kind of forgot about them, so I just thought, well, sell them.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14The good thing about this lot is there's something for everyone.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16If your taste is traditional, there's the star brooch.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19If your taste is avant-garde, there's the Art Nouveau brooch.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23If you just like a bit of gold to put in your bottom drawer as an investment,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26there's that part belcher, so it'll appeal to a lot of people.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30But I think right now Janet really wants the £200 top end.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- That's what you'd prefer, wouldn't you?- Yes.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35We're going to take the money.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Lot 60, a Victorian seed pearl brooch,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42a lovely wee nine-carat gold brooch
0:32:42 > 0:32:45and a nine-carat gold belcher linked neck chain.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Start me at £100 for the three.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49£100? £80, then?
0:32:49 > 0:32:51£80? 80 bid.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54At 90, 100.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55110, 120.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57130, 140.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59£140.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01150, fresh bidder.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03160, 170.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06180, 190.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- 200.- You've got your 200.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12At £200. 210. £210.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15All done at 210? All done at 210?
0:33:15 > 0:33:21£210! What are you going to put the money towards?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Help to pay the bills.- Well, it's a fact of life. We've all got them.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29That's good Scottish pragmatism, that is - help to pay the bills.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Next up, the Morris ware vase. It belongs to Elizabeth
0:33:35 > 0:33:38and it was your mother's - it's been in the family a long time.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- You've brought another family member along. Who's this?- Siobhan.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Siobhan, your grand-daughter. It's lovely to meet you.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48We've got £100-£120 on this vase. It looks like it's worth much more.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- It's cracked.- Oh, is it? Right, OK. - That's why.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56It would be worth so much more. It's a great design, isn't it?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Yeah, it's beautiful.- Didn't you know it was cracked?- No, I didn't!
0:34:00 > 0:34:07538 is the Hancock & Sons, Morris ware, gourd-shaped vase.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09It's designed by George Cartlidge.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12A wonderful piece of Morris ware.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13£50?
0:34:13 > 0:34:1650 bid. With you, sir, at 50.
0:34:16 > 0:34:1960, 70, 80.
0:34:19 > 0:34:2290, 100, 110.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- 120, 130, 140. - (Keep going, keep going.)
0:34:25 > 0:34:27More! More money.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29£160.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31160.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36Any advance on 160? All done at 160. 160...
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Well done. That was good.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- What will you put the money towards? - The kitchen.- A new kitchen?
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- No, just updating what's in the kitchen.- Right, OK,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- like tiling and doorknobs. - And fridges and freezers.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Who's going to do all that work?
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- Your grandpa, won't he?- Grandpops. Is he good at that?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Sometimes.- If you prod him with a stick he will be.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01110, 120, 130, 140...
0:35:01 > 0:35:03150, 160.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Well, I've been waiting for this one and I expect you have too.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08It's the 25 pieces of Mauchline ware,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11lots of local interest, belonging to David, here.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13And we've split them into eight lots.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16First up, there's four pieces in this first section.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Little violin and the egg timer. Here we go.
0:35:19 > 0:35:2250, 60, 70 with me.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- 100.- Yes, yes, good.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29110 on the phone. 110...
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- Yes, £110.- Good start. - That's a very good start.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33We're on top straightaway.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Six pieces of tartan ware,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37to include three silk winders,
0:35:37 > 0:35:41two Stewart tartan and a Macpherson example.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44170, 180...
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Great.- 180.- Brilliant. We're smashing our targets.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48On the floor at 180.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50260, 280.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55290. 290. All done at 290? 290...
0:35:55 > 0:35:58This is such good news and now here's the third lot,
0:35:58 > 0:36:00another mixed bag again.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It's with me at 100.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Any advance on...? 110. 120.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- It's a great collection, David. - It looks like it.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14All done at 210? All done at 210? 210...
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- We're well above our target right now.- We are.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Fourth lot to come now.- My maths is terrible, I can't work it out
0:36:20 > 0:36:22but we're way above our target.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Four Mauchline snuff boxes. 100 on the phone.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29It seems the whole room wants to invest in David's collection,
0:36:29 > 0:36:31which is so good.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34205 with me, Lala.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37With Lala on the phone at £210.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Any advance on 210? All done at 210? 210...
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Brilliant. £210.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Next lot is the two snuff boxes.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47..and they both have their original lining,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49again, the very finest of boxes.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52120 with me. 150. I'm out.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54It's on the phone at 150.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56All done at 150? 150?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Phone bid. £150.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00And now my favourite piece.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05..Is the fine Smiths of Mauchline hand-painted snuff box.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06220, 230.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07240, 250.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09This is good.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11360, I'm out.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Any advance on 360? All done at 360?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16360...
0:37:16 > 0:37:21Getting hot. Next lot, the three tulip vases.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Estimated at 400-600.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25900 with me.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Wow.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30950, 1,000.
0:37:30 > 0:37:331,050. 1,100 with me.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37All done at 1,100? 1,100...
0:37:37 > 0:37:40£1,100 for the three tulip vases.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46And this is the last lot, a pair of tartan vases, Stewart tartan.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48300, 320.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- 350, 400. - Everyone's getting carried away.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Yes, they are. £500?- 500. - 500?!
0:37:55 > 0:37:57520, I'm out.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Any advance on 520?
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Yes, that's it. It's all over. That's the last lot gone
0:38:03 > 0:38:09- and we're just short, 50 quid short, of £3,000.- £3,000.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- How do you feel about that, David? - I'm speechless.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- It's incredible, isn't it?- Yeah. - That was your collection.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Quality always sells. Unbelievable.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23We've doubled the top end of the estimate and it was well worth splitting the lots up.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25That'll be news in Glasgow next week.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I think it'll be news all over Scotland and the world!
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Thank you so much for bringing that in.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35Quality always sells. It's the perfect end to a wonderful day here in bonnie Scotland.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Until the next time, it's cheerio.
