0:00:24 > 0:00:30Welcome to Sherborne Castle in Dorset for a special edition of Flog It - Ten Of The Best
0:00:30 > 0:00:33as we take a trip down Memory Lane on this sunny day.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37This magnificent estate boasts over 11,000 acres
0:00:37 > 0:00:42and has a deer park, a walled garden and a magnificent 50-acre lake
0:00:42 > 0:00:46designed by Capability Brown in 1753.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48And if you've got the space,
0:00:48 > 0:00:53why not create a place to sit back and relax in and enjoy the countryside.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55For today's theme on the programme,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I've been looking through the Flog It archives
0:00:57 > 0:01:00looking for objects related to just that -
0:01:00 > 0:01:02kicking back and relaxing.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06First stop is Ashbourne, where in 2010,
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Michael Baggott found an item to use on a nice sunny afternoon.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- Ooh!- It's a bit stiff, actually. - Wow!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19That's an interior, isn't it? Let's unpack it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We've got a kettle...
0:01:21 > 0:01:24a teapot...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We've got the little water jug.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28We delve in there
0:01:28 > 0:01:31got a little caddy.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It goes on for ever, doesn't it?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- It does, actually! - We've got a little milk jug
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and we should finally have the sugar bowl.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46And this lovely surface here to mount it all on with a little stand.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49That's great!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51The only thing I think we're lacking...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- It's the burner, yeah.- The burner.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I didn't know whether that fitted into there.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00That aperture there would have been for the burner.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Oh, I see.- So at some point, some little devil's played with that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- And it's gone missing.- Gone missing.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Have you got any idea when it was made, or how old it is?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16It was my mother's. She was a housekeeper for a family in Derby.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Right.- The Prestyn-Jones. They used to go on a lot of cruises years ago
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- and they'd take it with them. - Marvellous!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Now you say that, we can make sense of the initials on the top.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32We've got E.P.J. For Prestyn-Jones.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36It's lovely to have history going back to the original owner.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38We've got, as you've probably seen before,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42the retailer's name, Asprey, which is a good name whenever you see it.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48But I actually know that the design of this set started many years earlier
0:02:48 > 0:02:56- and was produced initially by Hukin and Heath, to a design of Christopher Dresser.- I see.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02But it's a case of Aspreys looking at it, thinking, "This is popular, we'll make our own version."
0:03:02 > 0:03:06The Christopher Dresser originals are about 1875.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Basically, you've got a travelling picnic set in electroplate,
0:03:11 > 0:03:17- sadly rather than silver...- Yeah. - ..dating to about 1900, 1910.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23It's just so compact and so useful. So why have you decided to part with it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I thought I'd like to realise what the value of it is.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31I think because the burner's missing and there's a bit of distress to the case,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35let's be cautious and say 120 to £200.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Let's put a fixed reserve of £100 on it
0:03:38 > 0:03:39and it could go on from there.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Let's hope for two like-minded people at the auction.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I wouldn't mind a picnic with that classy set!
0:03:47 > 0:03:52In Tavistock in 2008, Charlie Ross found something from a lost era of home entertainment.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I love the microscope.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03I've never seen a microscope that is formed as part of the box it comes in.
0:04:03 > 0:04:09Normally, you take it out, put it together, and it stands on the table.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14And this, the base is formed by the box, isn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Has it got a name on it? - Yes, Dom of Edinburgh.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- And it's got some slides with it as well.- And various lenses as well.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Different lenses. How did you get hold of it?- Well, as far as I know,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30it's been in the family as long as I can remember.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- And my mother used to go to auction sales and house clearances.- Right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Whether she bought it in a job lot. I don't think she'd have bought that.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Have you tried using it?- I have. It does work, but it's very fiddly!
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- The slides are beautiful. They're ivory mounted.- I think so.
0:04:47 > 0:04:53- Specimens of, I don't know... - There's flies' legs and flies' wings.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57A bit of everything, really, yeah!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59A beautiful thing for a collector.
0:05:00 > 0:05:0260 to 80?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Up to 120?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08These are fabulous. The real problem with these is the condition of them.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13They're magic lantern slides, but they're early 19th century.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Most of the ones we see are 1880, 1890
0:05:18 > 0:05:22and I think you can put these back another 50 years,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24nearer 1800 than 1900.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27And we've got all sorts of cartoons.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I've pulled out three examples.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33One of which is mechanical.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I'm sure you've seen this. - It's lovely.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Wind the handle
0:05:38 > 0:05:42and it gives the most wonderful patterns.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And here, we've got a boxing fight!
0:05:48 > 0:05:53The trouble is, the arms are fixed at an angle to the body
0:05:53 > 0:05:56so it's actually quite difficult to land a blow.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01It's a lot of fun, but it's not wildly practical.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- It wouldn't keep children amused today.- Not for long, with that.- No.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's a bit too simplistic.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Whether or not it looks better with a light shining through it,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16projected onto the wall and they become life size.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- Then it becomes a lot more fun.- Yes. - And another one here
0:06:21 > 0:06:24are some caricatures.
0:06:24 > 0:06:30The thing about these early magic lantern slides, these are hand-painted.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35You can feel the texture of the paint on the back of the glass. Smooth the other side.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Great fun, and something that people will collect.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43But unfortunately we've got some bad condition with that
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and that happens more with the hand-painted ones
0:06:46 > 0:06:48than with the transfer-printed ones.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I think if you put the whole lot together,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- you're looking at 100 to £200-worth, which is not bad.- Good.- Yes.
0:06:56 > 0:07:03- Would that be satisfactory?- Yes, yes. - Put a reserve of £80 on?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- That would be fine. - Happy? We should put a reserve on.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11It would be a shame to see them blown away for 20 to £30.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It's not going to be earth-changing, unless someone really gets stuck in.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Then you can go on a cruise, but I don't think it'll do that!
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Wait and see if the bidders agreed with Charlie's estimate.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26In Milton Keynes back in 2008,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Anita Manning was shipped back in time!
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Steve, welcome to Flog It!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, I'm from Glasgow on the River Clyde
0:07:36 > 0:07:44- and I love tug boats.- Right. - Tell me, where did you get this lovely little item?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- I got it from a local jumble sale. - How much did you pay for it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- No more than 50p.- I think you've got a bargain!- Hope so!
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- What drew you to this little item? - I thought it was unusual.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Boats. I've got a small collection. - Ah, I see!
0:08:00 > 0:08:04So this would have been the jewel of your collection?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- One of them.- If we look at the back stamp here,
0:08:08 > 0:08:13we can see that it was made by Royal Doulton.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Royal Doulton is a good make
0:08:15 > 0:08:18so you have a nice little quality item here.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now, this stamp would date it
0:08:21 > 0:08:26from the late 1800s, early 1900s.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- It's quite old.- It's a good age.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- It's a stoneware item, not a fine porcelain.- Yep.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36It's this lovely sort of toffee colour.
0:08:36 > 0:08:42And I think it may have been an advertising item
0:08:42 > 0:08:44at one point.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Now, the little tug is called the George Livesey
0:08:49 > 0:08:53and I believe that George Livesey was an industrialist
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- at the turn of the century...- Yes.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00..who had some connection with Doulton.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03If we look at these little funnels here...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07..they can be detached and I think it's wonderful
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- that they have lasted such a long time and not been separated... - I agree.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15..from the main body of the tug.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17So, we've got a quality item.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- It's unusual. I haven't seen one of them before.- Nor have I.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- You haven't seen one.- No.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Let's hope the people at the auction haven't seen one!
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Well, I would like to put an estimate of 80 to 120.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Good improvement!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Now, are you happy to sell it at that?- Fine, yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Why do you want to sell it? - I have to declutter.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Have you had your orders from your wife?- Definitely!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Get rid of that stuff. - Get rid of the junk!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53But that was a great little find.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57So from one boat to another, when in Bognor Regis back in 2009,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I found a unique collection of cruising souvenirs.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02My word!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06It's a complete volume of postcards
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and they're all P&O cruise liners.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Peninsular and Oriental. Colin, what's the fascination with the cruise liner?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well, I used to work for P&O
0:10:17 > 0:10:19and I've been retired now for ten years.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24But when I worked for them, I just used to collect P&O postcards
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- of just cruise liners.- Just cruise liners because you worked on cruise liners.- Yes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- Where did you source all these from? - From round the world, some of them.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Gosh. I think this is a stunning comprehensive collection.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41They're getting very rare now to find, coloured ones like that.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Those particular ones with the logo on the side.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Yeah.- Because they're getting so old.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Were any of them sent to anybody? Was there writing on the back?
0:10:50 > 0:10:55This was sent to somebody in St George in Bristol.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Arden Villa, Bristol. Packet boat. So it was sent off the ship.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- It's absolutely fascinating, isn't it?- Yes.- Fascinating.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Then we start on some of the more modern ones.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Have you thought of a value at all?
0:11:09 > 0:11:15- I have had them roughly valued at about £400.- Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I was going to actually pitch to you, I think the value is 300 to 400.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Obviously I'm hoping for the top end, so we're singing from the same hymn sheet.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27But in order to get that top end,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- we've got to put it into auction at a competitive rate.- Yes.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34If you're willing to put this album into auction
0:11:34 > 0:11:38at a 300 to £400 price guide, we might just achieve that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42A lot of the early Edwardian and late Victorian collections that have come in
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- have fetched 400 to £600.- Yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49That's documenting civic pride from big bridges and buildings,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53churches which are no longer here. They're very sought-after.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55But I think this is more specific than that.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59So our field is slightly smaller. But 300 to £400 I'd be happy with.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Yes.- And a reserve at 300?
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- Yes.- With a bit of discretion.- Yes. - That's OK?- Certainly.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Lots of memories for you?- Yes, where I've bought certain postcards
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I can relate to where I bought them in different parts of the world.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Fantastic collection. I hope it stays as a collection. See you at auction.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24I was really excited about that collection. Find out soon how they did.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28But first, a quick reminder of what else we took to auction.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Michael loved Nigel's travel picnic set,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35and even with the burner missing, he was sure it was going to do well.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Charlie was really taken with Derek and Ruth's magic lantern slides and microscope.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Steve's little Royal Doulton tug boat put a smile on Anita's face.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51And I knew Colin's large postcard album was a true collectors' item.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58Coming up first, Nigel's charming picnic set which went under the hammer in Derbyshire.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Good luck, Nigel.- Thank you.- All we need is somebody in this room
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- with the initials P.J.- Yes. - Let's face it.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11- There's a bit of history there. People actually used these. - You want to play with them.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Take it out, look at it, put it back again. There's only so many times you can do that.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20I've just thought of somebody who might buy it. From Dragons' Den, Peter Jones.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23He needs to be in the sale room. He could afford it!
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Anyway, let's see what the bidders think here in Derbyshire. Good luck.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33A very, very fine picnic set.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Even better because it's Asprey. There we are.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- I will start this at £150. - Good start!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42We have 150. Do I see 160 in the room?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45160. 180.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48200. 220. 250.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- 280.- That's more like it!- That's better. It's going up.- ..350.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54380. 400.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- 420. 450.- This is keen bidding. Really keen.- 480.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02£500. I'm bid at 500.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I wonder if it's Asprey's on the phone, buying it for stock?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07At £500. You're out.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11At £500. £500. You're... 520.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13550. Out.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18And out. At 550. All done. Selling at £550.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- How about that? We turned up the heat there. £550.- Fantastic.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Without the burner. - Brilliant, that was.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Well done. Thanks for bringing that in. That was something
0:14:28 > 0:14:34- from a bygone era, the golden years of travel.- I'll be looking for one with a burner now!
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I wonder if Michael ever did find one.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Now, Derek and Ruth's magic lantern slides and microscope.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46We all hoped the specialist collectors would be at the sale in Plymouth.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49This magic lantern was your mother's?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54The slides were, yes. She probably bought them as a job lot.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59I don't think she bought them intentionally. Probably something in the box she fancied.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Let's hope we get the magic £200. - There are some wonderful images there.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And some mechanical ones. There's a boxing one which is rather fun.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- Yes.- And another kaleidoscopic one. That's rather fun. It should do all right.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Good.- They've ended up back in a general auction.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- What goes around, comes around! - That's right!- Let's put it under the hammer.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25Lot 124. 12 magic lantern slides.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31There they are. And a little brass microscope. Several bidders.
0:15:31 > 0:15:38- I'm bid £120.- Great. We'll get that 200.- We'll get that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39150. 160.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42170. 180. 190. 200.
0:15:42 > 0:15:49- And 20. 240.- What?- Ooh! We must have missed something!
0:15:49 > 0:15:53£340 here. At 340. Take ten.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56All done, then, at £340. Quite sure at 340.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Well done.- £340!- Lovely job. Proper job!- Proper job! That's what they say!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- That's a fantastic result!- Yes.- Yes!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- You'd have settled for the 100 quid. - Yes.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- We had 80 quid discretion. - I wouldn't have minded 80!
0:16:13 > 0:16:17They really did light up the sale room. That was a great result.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Next, Steve's Royal Doulton tug boat which went under the hammer in Woburn.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24This next lot is bound to pull in the bidders.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29It's got to. It's a tug boat. It belongs to Steven. But not for much longer!
0:16:29 > 0:16:34You fell in love with it. It's Royal Doulton. So many people collect Royal Doulton.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37They won't have this. It's rare, it's hot to trot
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and it's worth possibly a lot more than 80 to £120.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46- The market loves the unusual items. - They're hard to put a price on.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50So hard to put a price on. A lot more than 50p, though,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- cos this was bought at a jumble sale!- Local jumble sale.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58We had a chat to the auctioneer and he said there's been a lot of interest
0:16:58 > 0:17:01and he hopes it'll make around £300.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Very nice.- I think it'll fly away, then.- Sail away!
0:17:05 > 0:17:11- Maybe sail away.- I think that's the one, Anita! Sail away. Let's watch it go!
0:17:11 > 0:17:15A really interesting lot. The Royal Doulton Lambeth model of a tug boat.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17The George Livesey.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Showing there. And I can start at £100.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25I'll take ten. At 100. Opening bid. Commission bid. 110.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- 120. 130. 140. 150? At 140 with me. - Come on, a bit more!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Come on!- 150 now.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35150. It's behind me! 150. 160.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- 160. 170.- It's like panto!
0:17:38 > 0:17:39180. 190.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- 200. 220. - This is more like it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46220. 240 with the other telephone?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- 260.- We could be near that 300 mark.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51280? 280. 300?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Yes!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54300. 320?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56320. 340?
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- 340. 360? 360. 380.- It's pulling away at a rate of knots!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03£360 now.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05All finished at 360?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Telephone bid at 360.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Yes!- That was definitely a sold sound!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Charlie has a fantastic hammer action!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- It's very solid.- All clear.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18£360!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- You've got to treat the wife! - I'll have to take her out!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26That got us all excited. What a great return on 50 pence!
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Now, I felt the pressure when we sold Colin's fabulous collection
0:18:31 > 0:18:33of P&O postcards in Chichester.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Why do you want to sell them now?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Well, I cannot get any further with them.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I've got most of the postcards that were printed.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47They weren't printed until 1898
0:18:47 > 0:18:49and most of the ships I want now
0:18:49 > 0:18:54were built and scrapped before postcards came out.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Well, I'm very excited about this one.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I have been looking forward to this day.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06I just hope they fly away because they deserve it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10An album of postcards of ships. Very interesting album, this lot.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14P&O liners. Over 100 years of history there in postcards.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17A lot of interest in this lot. I have to start at £400.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21We're in at 400, Colin. You've sold them.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24420 I see. Thank you. 440. 460.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- 480. 500.- That chap wants them there, look.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30540. 560. 580. 600.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- 620.- He's keen.- 640.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35660. 680. 700.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38720. 740. 760.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40780. 800.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43820 with me. 840.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45At £840.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- At 840.- £840!- At £840, then.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Selling forever
0:19:50 > 0:19:52at £840.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Lovely!- £840!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Very nice.- Congratulations. That's down to you.- Thank you.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05You put that together. You should be proud of yourself. See, it pays to collect over a period of time.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09That will be a great investment when you come to sell it.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What are you going to do with all that money?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Can I say we're going on a P&O cruise?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- In November!- You can't keep away, can you?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Those postcards were some of the best I have ever seen.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33What a comprehensive collection.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Here at Sherborne Castle, boating has provided fun for the family for centuries.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42What a lake to enjoy it on! Just look at that view.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45We all like to relax in our own different ways.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50For me, I like something a little more energetic and rather noisy!
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Like playing the drums!
0:20:54 > 0:20:58I usually escape the hustle and bustle of valuation days
0:20:58 > 0:21:03to get some peace and quiet. But now I'm going to make a big noise, one dear to my heart,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06because I grew up playing the drums.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Man has been banging the drum as far back as history records.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Some say around 6000 BC.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18It's been used for communication, celebration and for the sheer joy of making music.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Nowadays, it's hard to imagine a rock band or pop band
0:21:22 > 0:21:24without a drum beat in it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's the heart and soul of any music
0:21:26 > 0:21:30and it's the foundation for the other musicians in the band to build on.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35It's that pulse and energy and excitement which gets people on their feet and dancing.
0:21:44 > 0:21:50Here in Stockport, two friends have set up a workshop making specialist drums for the pop industry.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Pete Salisbury, drummer of The Verve, and Keith Keough.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Keith, hi, pleased to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm like a kid in a sweet shop. You're a man after my own heart.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- You love drums and you love working in wood.- Yes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04So how did all this take off for you?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Basically, I was working in a studio in Manchester
0:22:08 > 0:22:14and I was really happy to create a drum kit that wasn't made by the more traditional method
0:22:14 > 0:22:19of ply drums. It's always made out of maple, birch, and I wanted different sounds.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- You're a musician. You play the drums as well.- I do, yes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- You're a qualified craftsman because you work in wood.- Yes.
0:22:26 > 0:22:34So you combined the two. Let's look at the way traditional drums have been made, with laminates.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39One of the most common ways, which is what all the major manufacturers do,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43is you build a former, made out of MDF.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49- And you get all your laminates. - Which is about 1.5mm thick?
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Normally 1.0mm to 1.5mm.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54You put the ply in, glue the join,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57put PVA glue all the way round. Then get the next piece,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59offsetting the joins all the time.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05- At opposite angles.- At opposite angles so the next join will be there, the next one there.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10You can build up as many ply as you want. For snare drums, it's eight to ten,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- for toms six and bass drums eight. - Right. So what's the next stage?
0:23:14 > 0:23:19The next stage after the shell, is mark it out so we can put the nut boxes on.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Basically, you drill into the shell and hold the skin on
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- so you can tension the skin to get the tuning.- Right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- That's the end result.- Look at that. That's absolutely stunning.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37They're built traditionally. But you've come up with a new technique that's revolutionised drum-making.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41These are selling like hot cakes. They're the antiques of the future.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47- Can you talk me through these? - Yep. A couple of years ago
0:23:47 > 0:23:53I was playing with the idea of making drums out of different woods to give a signature sound.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Most manufacturers make them out of maple or birch, sometimes beech.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01But I wanted to make them out of the likes of English oak,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04English cherry, purple heart.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08These are solid woods. This is what's so unique about them.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- They are solid wood, yes.- How do you get solid wood on a drum?
0:24:11 > 0:24:18Basically, you can't mould these out of ply, so you don't make them in ply.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23So I had to toy about. "How do I make a cylinder out of solid wood?"
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- They're obviously turned on a lathe. - Yes.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- In blocks.- Blocks of solid wood.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34So I didn't want to bend anything. If you steam-bend et cetera,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38it can spring out. It can warp in different climates of weather.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Is the sound totally different on these?- It is, yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43In the traditional methods,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46if you have eight plys, you have seven plys of glue as well
0:24:46 > 0:24:49which dampen the diaphragm across the sound of the drum.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52These shells have about 90% less glue
0:24:52 > 0:24:57because the glue doesn't go all round, just in each single joint.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02So in a way, it's taking it right back to its elementary roots thousands of years ago
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- where a drum would have been hollowed out from a log.- Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13We've seen how the drums are made. Now let's see how they're played.
0:25:13 > 0:25:19To demonstrate how important rhythm is in music, we've got top session drummer Che Beresford,
0:25:19 > 0:25:24taking us through some rhythms from around the world. What's first, Che?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Some New York swing. - Take it away, man!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28One, two, one!
0:25:38 > 0:25:44- Whoa! That's fantastic! How about some reggae from Jamaica?- OK!
0:25:44 > 0:25:45One, two!
0:25:58 > 0:26:02We'll play you out with some contemporary rock in a four/four pattern.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Count us in.- One, two, three!
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Back to valuation day where David Barby found a table
0:26:25 > 0:26:28designed for at least two leisurely pastimes.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- Ruth.- Yes.- This is in such a sorry state!
0:26:34 > 0:26:40- No, it hasn't been loved at all.- No, it's unloved. Unnurtured.- I know.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- It's untouched and unpolished.- I can't take all the credit for that!
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- Where's it from?- My father's parents brought it from Scotland in the '60s.- Right.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- It's a bit wonky.- Yes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- The leg certainly needs regluing! - Had better days!
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Just like mine! And also it's got worm.- It has.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05- But, saying all the faults first, you have got one or two saving graces.- Yes.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Particularly if you look at the top, the chess board.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Beautifully inlaid, and nothing missing. Slight staining there.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18Otherwise, it's beautifully done, with boxwood inlay there and ebony.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21And round the edge, this Tunbridge ware. That's nicely done.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It's a useful piece of furniture.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28First, as a chess or draft board. And then as a lady's sewing table.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Inside, we've got the original paper lining.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38With some of the original covers, these pink, silk-lined ones.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Can you see that little centre-section there?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44That is the original handle, which is rather nice to have.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Almost like a chrysanthemum.
0:27:47 > 0:27:53So that is perfect. Just how a dealer or collector would wish to find it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59The date of it is round about 1870, 1880. It's very late.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03We can tell this because of the shape of the box underneath,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06which is solid, and this chip carving here.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11But the other indication regards its date, see this acanthus-leaf carving?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- That's all done by machine. It's not hand done.- OK.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19So its date is the latter part of the Victorian era.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Price.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24If this was in perfect condition,
0:28:24 > 0:28:25and for sale in an antique shop,
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- the price would be close on £500. - Right.- Maybe slightly over.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32In this state, at auction,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- I think we'd be lucky to get 200.- OK.
0:28:35 > 0:28:42So I'm going to put a reserve of round about 130.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43What do you think?
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- Have you got the last say, or is it your parents? - I haven't got the last say.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51They've kind of given me the go-ahead.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55So if we could possibly get 200 for it, they'd be happy.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- I would be happy as well. I'd be deliriously happy!- Absolutely.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- It's taking up space, so...- What are they going to do with the money?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- They're having the roof done! - Oh, dear!
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- How big is the roof? - Towards the roofing.- Right.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I was sure we'd get David's top estimate.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17But before you find out, here's a selection of my favourite leisurely lots.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23In 2006, Adam would have loved to have hit the right notes
0:29:23 > 0:29:25with Rebecca's banjo.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Unfortunately, I can't really play much banjo.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Adam got the estimate just right. It sold for £110.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36David Palmer thought he was the loudest at the valuation day,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40then came Elaine with these wonderful Clarice Cliff clogs.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43This pattern, I believe, is called the tennis pattern.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46If we look at it, it becomes apparent.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- I had noticed that. - I think 300 or £400.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Really?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Elaine was thrilled when they tripled David's estimate
0:29:54 > 0:29:56and sold for £900!
0:29:56 > 0:30:01And David Barby was chuffed to see a collection of Hornby trains in Plymouth, back in 2007.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05He valued them at 120 to £160.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09A Hornby train set, you might be given a passenger set like this.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12You'd build it up until you had whacking great locomotives.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Later on, your father would have added one or two pieces.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21Wendy was delighted when they steamed away at £255.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Next stop, Dover.
0:30:25 > 0:30:31In 2009, Catherine Southon was drawn to Helen's classical child's toy.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Let's have a reveal. A nice little steam boat there.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Powered by methylated spirits?- Yes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Tell me how it works. What do you do?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- You lift the top off here.- Mm-hmm.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50- And you put the methylated spirits in here.- Right, OK. Yes.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Then you fill up the boiler with water.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Here.
0:30:54 > 0:31:00- So then the steam...- The steam forces the propeller to go round
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- and it turns the propeller that way. - Right.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- OK.- Shall I put this back?
0:31:04 > 0:31:09So this is made by Hobbies, you have the original box, which is lovely.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Yes, but not the notes, sadly. - No. Often the case.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Tell me about it in terms of where you got it from.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19It belonged to my father, and he was born in 1917.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25And it came to me when I was a teenager, I should think,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28and it's never been used since.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- So it's something your father played with a lot.- Yes.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- I've had it working, but not in water.- You never played with it?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- No.- Well, sadly, as you can probably tell,
0:31:38 > 0:31:45- it's been repainted.- Yes, that was father. Typical father. - Naughty father, we should say!
0:31:45 > 0:31:49This is actually fibreglass. It's painted on fibreglass.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54We've seen other models like this where they're painted on tin plate.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Makers like Bing, Markalyn,
0:31:58 > 0:32:02they're obviously a lot more collectible and making big money.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04What is nice is that you have the original box
0:32:04 > 0:32:09and on here, it's stamped, on either end, actually,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Hobbie's, the maker, Bowman Steamboat.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14And the model name, which is Swallow.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16So the boat's called Swallow.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20It must be quite important to you as it belonged to your father?
0:32:20 > 0:32:26Yes, I just feel it would be nice if it was appreciated by somebody who collects model boats
0:32:26 > 0:32:28or steam engines, even.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I have known them to go for around the 100, £150 mark
0:32:33 > 0:32:35in their original condition.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Bearing in mind it has been repainted,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41it has got the box but without the lid,
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- I think we should pitch it around the 60 to £80 mark.- Right.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51- Are you happy with that?- Yes. - Maybe with a £50 reserve.- OK. - I'll see you at the auction.
0:32:53 > 0:32:59I'll show you later how that did. But now for my final item on today's show.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02A musical instrument brought in by John back in 2009.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05But I couldn't get him to play it!
0:33:05 > 0:33:10- Can you play this concertina? - When I was a teenager,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14I had a go at trying to tinker out a tune. But without much success!
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Was it Dad's?- It was my father's and possibly my grandfather's.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Could well be. This dates to 1910, 1920.- Really?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Oh. I didn't know it was that old.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- This is nice.- Yes, it comes with the case.- Original case.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31It's not been used, it's always been locked away in the case.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Let's move that aside. I'm pleased you've got that with the maker's label.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Charles Wheatstone. Made in London.
0:33:38 > 0:33:44They were the first to patent the free-reed vibrating bellows.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48It was patented in 1844. But the company goes back further than that.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Charles Wheatstone Senior tinkered with the free-reed moving instrument
0:33:53 > 0:33:55in the late 1700s
0:33:55 > 0:33:58at a workshop based in Charing Cross.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03- This is fantastic. It's an English standard 24-button.- Yes.
0:34:03 > 0:34:10By the 1850s, Charles Wheatstone took on a Swiss guy who was a screw-maker!
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Oh!- And he was responsible for all the metalwork.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17So it really did push the production on a lot further.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- But the bellows...- They're in good shape.- ..are in very good shape.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26I wondered when I got it from the loft, whether it would be in good shape.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29It hasn't been looked at for the last 50-odd years.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- Wow!- It's been in the attic. - 50 years since you clapped eyes on this.
0:34:33 > 0:34:39- Right.- Thank goodness for that case! - Yes, it really does the job.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- You've not even polished it. - I did rub a duster over it earlier!
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Did you?- I did put a duster over it briefly.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49There's the manufacturer's label, Charles Wheatstone.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- And you see it also on the strap. - Very good, yes.
0:34:52 > 0:34:58I have a feeling that if we put this into auction,
0:34:58 > 0:35:05- with its case, you'll be looking at a price guide of 300 to £400. - Really?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08But I'm hoping, I'm really hoping, we'll top that.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- On a good day.- On a good day.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13As I say, it's been stuck in the loft for donkey's years
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and we have seven grandchildren. If we made 350, it would be great.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- We could give them 50 quid each. - Yes.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- I'd like it to go to a home where someone...- A collector will want it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30- A collector will love this.- Will he put it in a cupboard and not use it, or would he play it?
0:35:30 > 0:35:32You know, that's a very good question.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Because...
0:35:34 > 0:35:40I think a collector might just want to keep this and own it,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- enjoy looking... - Look at it.- Not play it!
0:35:43 > 0:35:45But it is in such good condition,
0:35:45 > 0:35:49you could still play that and knock out a really good tune.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53The sound would be beautiful. The acoustics are second to none.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- We'll put a fixed reserve of £250 on this.- Okey-doke.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- With a valuation of 250 to 350. - Right. Yes.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Fingers crossed!- Yes.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I couldn't wait for that to go to auction.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09But before I reveal whether this second lot of items marched off in the sale,
0:36:09 > 0:36:11here's a quick reminder.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Ruth brought in her parents games and ladies' sewing table
0:36:16 > 0:36:19and even with the damage, David thought it would do well.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Catherine thought Helen's steam boat was charming.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27And I was blown away by the condition of John's concertina
0:36:27 > 0:36:30and hoped the bidders loved it as much as I did.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36So, to the Isle of Wight first, to see how Ruth's table went down with the bidders.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41David has put £130 to £200 on this.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Why is Mum and Dad selling this?
0:36:43 > 0:36:47It's taking up space. It may be small, but it takes up space.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51It's a tiny occasional table. I wouldn't use it for games,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- I would put a plant or lamp on it. - Yes.- Or silver frames.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57I'd stick it in the bathroom with the perfumes.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- You can use it anywhere.- I'd like to see it set out with a chess set.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- It would look very good.- Yes.- In a recess it would look very good.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09My reservation, I must point out, is it's got worm, which is live.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14And also all three legs are splaying out and need restoration.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18It's a dodgy repair. Looks like the glue was shot on with an air rifle!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21But we'll find out right now what the bidders think of it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24A Victorian walnut games and lady's sewing table
0:37:24 > 0:37:27with fitted interior and carved base.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29120. 130 anywhere?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33120 with the clerk. 130 anywhere?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- We're away.- 140 anywhere? 140. 150.
0:37:35 > 0:37:41- 160.- Yeah.- 170. 180. 180 on the phone.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42190. 200.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45210.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48220.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- 230.- Wow!
0:37:50 > 0:37:52250. 260.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56270. 280. 290?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- 280 selling to the phone. 280. - £280.- £280.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Yes! 280 quid!
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Oh, that's good!- That was more exciting than I expected!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10That is going to be a great night out!
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- That's wonderful.- Ring your mum and dad and tell them.- Absolutely.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- Well done!- Thank you so much! - Well done! David, top end.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22I'm very pleased. It surprised me with the amount of damage.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- It's good.- It goes to show there's money still left in that.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29The trader will repair it and move it on.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- The other thing I forgot to mention is that the interior is original. - Yes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38- The silk in the panel. - Often it's replaced with velvet and it looks wrong.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- But that was original.- It's what we call in the trade "crisp".
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- I shall remember that term.- Crisp! - Crisp.- So will I!
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Ruth's parents must have been pleased with that result.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55So, back across the water to the Canterbury sale room
0:38:55 > 0:38:58to see how Helen's steamboat fared.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01I'm a big fan of this. I've been joined by Helen, the owner.
0:39:01 > 0:39:07I think this little steamboat is incredible. It works on methylated spirits.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12It's got the look of an early launch, known as The Swallow. In its original box.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- Fingers crossed.- Definitely! Fingers crossed.- Here we go.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20The early 20th-century Hobbies Bowman steamboat, The Swallow.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Lot 333. - Lots of commission interest.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27- Some interest in this. We'll start at...- Start at 130. - Starting at £130.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30I'm looking for 140. Any interest at 140?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33On my left at £130. Any interest at 140?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35140. 150. 160?
0:39:35 > 0:39:41- Yes.- 170? Anybody at 170? It's online at £160. All done?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Any further interest? If not I'm selling at £160 online.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- Told you, didn't I? - Fantastic!- Excellent.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- You didn't have any faith.- I didn't. Well done.- Well done, you!
0:39:54 > 0:39:56It was a nice thing. A real gentleman's piece.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01I was looking at that earlier. So many people were looking at it.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05It brought back memories for them. Everybody buys into that.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- There's commission to pay.- Yes.- But you can treat yourself with that.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15A lovely moment for Helen. She was shocked with that result!
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Lastly, it's my turn. I was feeling quite hopeful for John's concertina
0:40:21 > 0:40:23when it went under the hammer in Stamford.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28You said as long as you get over 300 quid, you don't mind.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- We don't mind.- We've seen them... - 350 would be better.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35We've seen them on the show, 32 buttons, do over £2,000.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39This has got a few less buttons. Might not quite get that
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- or it might just. - You never know.- No.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- It just might.- Fingers crossed.- Yes.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49It could be, as they say in musical terms, a crescendo in a moment.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50You reckon!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53It's going under the hammer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57The concertina. Couple of hundred to start? 200?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Got to be worth 200. At 200 I'm bid.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02At 200 now. 210. 220.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04230. 240. 250.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06It's met its reserve.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09At 250. Make no mistake. 260. 270.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13280. 300. At 300. Take 20.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16At £300. 320.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19340. 360. 380.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21At 380. At 380.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- 400. 420.- Ooh!- At 420.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28440 off any of you guys? 440. 450.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33- 480.- Fighting it out, now, on the internet and telephone.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35500. 520.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40550. 580.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42600. 620.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44650. 650.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46680.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48700. 720.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51750. 780.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53800. 820.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57850. 880.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- 900.- Let's get four figures, shall we?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02I'd be happy with that.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- 1,000. And 50.- Here we go. You've just done it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10- 1,100. 1,200.- Unbelievable! - This is more like it!
0:42:10 > 0:42:131,400. 1,500.
0:42:13 > 0:42:141,600.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- At one thousand six. Have you lost your man on the phone?- Good result.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22- At £1,600.- There's your spending money.- At 1,600.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Seven grandchildren to look after.
0:42:25 > 0:42:271,600.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Yes!- Well done! Brilliant. - One thousand six hundred!
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Just what you said. Well done. Great!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Good job you brought that in!
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- That's all I can say!- Right. - Put it there.- It was only done on the day.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42What are you putting that money towards?
0:42:42 > 0:42:46The grandchildren will have a share. We're going on holiday
0:42:46 > 0:42:48and we want a new cover for the boat.
0:42:48 > 0:42:54- That'll sort all of that out. - We'll spread it around. - Thanks for bringing it in.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Those concertinas always do well at auction.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07At £1,600, that's just over £66 per button!
0:43:07 > 0:43:11I hope you've enjoyed this trip down Memory Lane,
0:43:11 > 0:43:14looking at some of my favourite items designed for times of leisure.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18Do join me again soon as we look back through the Flog It archives.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22Until then, from the grounds of Sherborne Castle, it's goodbye.
