0:00:30 > 0:00:35Welcome to Sherborne Castle and another special edition of Ten of the Best of Flog It!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Set in the beautiful town of Sherborne in Dorset,
0:00:38 > 0:00:43this magnificent house opened its doors to the public in 1969.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47It's full of the most exquisite antiques and artefacts
0:00:47 > 0:00:50collected by the family over several generations.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55On the show, we see a lot of family heirlooms turn up at our valuation days.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Some have been cherished, others forgotten about,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01left in a drawer for a decade or two.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04So, for today's theme, I've been looking through our archives
0:01:04 > 0:01:10and I've picked out some of my favourite family pieces that have a real story to tell.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We start in Chelmsford back in 2007
0:01:14 > 0:01:18where Sylvia showed Catherine Southon some very grand tableware.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Sylvia, welcome to Flog It. Thank you for coming today
0:01:22 > 0:01:27and bringing in this beautiful superb piece of quality silver plate.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33It's actually, as you probably know, a dispenser for different types of alcohol.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38You would have undone each of the knobs on each of the barrels here
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- and poured in three different types of alcohol.- Yes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Spirits.- Probably whisky, brandy and rum.- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Then you have this little tap at the bottom here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- You probably would have put the measure in there, in the bucket.- Yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Or taken that off and put your glass under it if you wanted a bigger measure!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01But I love the carriage that it's on.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05It moves so perfectly. You can imagine it's being pulled along.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09One of these grand tables at a big house.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- Where did this come from? - It was given to my father. He gave it to me.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19He was a local jeweller in Chelmsford.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22He was apprenticed up in London.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28When his boss died, his wife said, "Will you come and sort the shop out?"
0:02:28 > 0:02:33She was so appreciative and grateful, she said, "I'm giving you the barrels."
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Then my father put it into his shop window.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- He had it for display purposes. - Yes. He would never part with it.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Lovely. Why are you wanting to sell something like this?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- It's the old story. It's up in the loft.- Not doing anything.- No.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It never sees the light of day.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56We can see that it's got the diamond Victorian registration mark,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00so we can date it precisely. I'm not sure if it's two or 22.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06So it's either the 2nd or 22nd April 1864, which is wonderful.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10I love it. The more I look at this, the more I love it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It's beautifully made.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18It's in superb condition. It's so nice it hasn't got dents or scratches or anything.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23With that in mind, I think we should put an estimate on of 150 to 250.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Right.- And a reserve of about 120. How does that sound?- Fine.- OK?- Yes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34I hope it sells well for you. Thank you very much, Sylvia, for bringing in such a striking piece.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Despite the memories they evoked,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Sylvia decided it was time to let the barrels go.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43There were more special memories when Iris brought James Lewis
0:03:43 > 0:03:47some family medals back in 2006.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Iris, tell me about these. Are they family pieces?- Yes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56They're my great-uncle's medals. He was killed in the First World War.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00The first ones, we'll put this to one side for the moment.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Yes.- These were known as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. It's a slang term.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09They were named after cartoon characters around that time.
0:04:09 > 0:04:16It's the Great War medal, the victory medal and the 1914-1915 Star.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Right.- First World War medals are brilliant
0:04:21 > 0:04:26because around the edge of each one is the name of who won it, and their regiment.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30"Private J.W.Cross, Middlesex Regiment."
0:04:30 > 0:04:36- All three are a complete set. We have, sadly, the death plaque as well.- Yes.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41This obviously means he was killed during the First World War. It's cast in solid bronze.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Each one was individually named, just like the medals with the name around the edge.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49This one has the name cast into this little reserve.
0:04:49 > 0:04:56And these arrived in this solid cardboard sleeve, a brown envelope,
0:04:56 > 0:05:01and it would be sent to the widow or the mother of the soldier who died.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07- As a trio, those are worth between 80 and £120.- Right, yes.
0:05:07 > 0:05:13Then we've got the death plaque which is worth 25 to £35 on its own.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- But put them together and they're worth more than their component parts.- I see.
0:05:17 > 0:05:24- So I would say a conservative auction estimate would be 100 to £150.- Right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I hope they'll do the top end of that, if not a bit more.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- Right.- Is that OK for you?- Yes, it's more than I expected they would be.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Good. Then we come on to this one.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- This is obviously a lot earlier. Same family?- No.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- That's my husband's side of the family.- OK.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47This is known as the New Zealand medal, awarded to soldiers who served in the Maori Wars.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52The Maori Wars, two periods, really, where this medal was awarded.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- 1845 to 1847.- Yes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- And again 1860 to 1866.- Right.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05What makes this particular medal unusual is, the dates of issue are there on the back.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- 1863 to 1865.- Yes.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So this was the second period.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16It's lost its ribbon, but this is quite a sought-after medal on its own.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- Value, 120 to £180.- Really?- Just for that one on its own.- Oh. Yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27I think that'll do well. Two lots. 120 - 180. 120 to 150.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I'm sure they'll put them together in the catalogue. Fingers crossed.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34There are few things more poignant than family medals.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37But Iris thought it was time to move them on.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Now for something considerably older
0:06:39 > 0:06:45as we join David Barby talking about Keith's little cup in Hartlepool.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Well, Keith, regardless of rumours around,
0:06:47 > 0:06:52this is the oldest piece - not me! - in the room today.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Where's it from? - It's from my mother's side.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It's either my grandmother's or great-grandmother's.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Well, I would have thought great-great-great-great-grandmother!
0:07:03 > 0:07:09Because this little piece of pot dates from round about 1740 to 1760.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14It's a lovely piece of pottery that we know as Delft.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- If you think in terms of Delft, you think of Holland.- Yeah. - The Low Countries.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- This is where it originated.- Yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27The potters came to England from the 17th century onwards.
0:07:27 > 0:07:34This little piece was made to imitate Chinese imports into the country
0:07:34 > 0:07:36which were very, very valuable.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39These Chinese imports were actually porcelain.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44So this is why it's decorated in blue and white looking like Chinese porcelain
0:07:44 > 0:07:50from a distance. But it was made in London by one of the Delft potters established there
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- producing wares like this.- Yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55It's got some interesting elements of decoration,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58particularly with these lions' heads at the side.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03All this chipping round the edge, you expect that,
0:08:03 > 0:08:07because this is a bisque pottery covered with a white slip
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- and then it's coated in a tin glaze. - I see.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15It does have a tendency to chip, so don't worry about that.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's got a whacking great crack all the way down the side
0:08:18 > 0:08:21which does affect its value.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25There's no markings, so I didn't know what it was.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27A chalice or a cup, whatever.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32A chalice is a good idea, but it's got a hole that goes through to an enclosed pedestal.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37If that had been left enclosed, it would have broken open
0:08:37 > 0:08:41in the firing, so that's why there's a hole through.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It makes it difficult to contain liquid.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I think this may have had a decorative cover
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and could have been put on a display.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- I'm going to put a conservative 80 to 120.- Yes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I'd like to see it do 200, if not more.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But I have reservations about that crack.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06But it is an early, unusual piece of English Delft.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I had reservations about the chips but as you said, it's one of those things.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16I've never seen a piece of early Delft without those teeth marks round the edge!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Thanks for making my day! - Thanks very much.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22We'll see a bit later if the damage was an issue
0:09:22 > 0:09:24when Keith's Delft went under the hammer.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29But to Kidderminster now, where, in 2009,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Philip Serrell sorted through David's collection of watches.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- Do you know what time it is?- No idea at all! Always late wherever I go!
0:09:37 > 0:09:40You shouldn't be with this lot! Where are they from?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- They're part of my father's collection.- Part?
0:09:43 > 0:09:49He's still got some others, but we brought what we thought were the most interesting.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53In my view, the most valuable single one is this one here.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- And you know why, don't you? - Gold content.- Absolutely right.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's 18-carat gold.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02At the moment, gold prices are through the roof.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06So whilst it's quite battered, the gold content in there, I'd guess,
0:10:06 > 0:10:12- that's going to make 80 to £100 just on scrap gold.- Right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- This fascinates me. Do you know what that type is called?- Half-hunter. - Why?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Because you can see part of the display with the case closed.
0:10:21 > 0:10:29Absolutely. A full hunter is where the case is closed on both sides.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34And a half-hunter has this little subsidiary bull's-eye here
0:10:34 > 0:10:38with the numbers round the outside so you can see the time.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41How long's it taken your dad to buy these things?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43He's collected them since he was a child.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48He started getting keen on collecting again about 20 years ago
0:10:48 > 0:10:54- and adding one every month or so. - As a collection,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57it's probably going to make at auction between 300 and £500,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- possibly a bit more.- Right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I think he'd be pleased. He left them all to the grandchildren
0:11:03 > 0:11:09and with 15 grandchildren, it's difficult to say, "You have this one, you have that one."
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- 15 grandchildren?!- Yes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18- How many children did he have? - Four.- Four? No need to ask what your hobby is!
0:11:18 > 0:11:23All our items have a story to tell. Now it's time to see how they fared in the sale rooms.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Catherine was sure there'd be interest in Sylvia's stylish spirit barrels.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33James spotted that one of Iris's medals was particularly collectable.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Early Delft is often a bit nibbled, but Keith's cup had a great big crack in it, too.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42And David's father's pocket watches looked very impressive.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46But did they stay as a collection or were they split up at the sale?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Let's start in Colchester and see if Sylvia went home happy
0:11:50 > 0:11:53after her Flog It experience.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58This should raise your spirits! It's a spirit dispenser, barrels on a carriage!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It belongs to Sylvia. Who have you brought along?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- This is my husband, Norman. - How do you do?
0:12:03 > 0:12:09- Was it your brandy dispenser? - No. I'll have the brandy, but not the dispenser!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- It was Sylvia's. She likes a tipple! - Yes, that's right!
0:12:13 > 0:12:18But I don't really think I would like to drink out of that one!
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- No. Isn't it lovely, though?- Oh, I love it. It really stands out here.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- It's superb. A real quality piece. - We're looking at 170, maybe? 180?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I'd like to see it doing its top estimate.- £200?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Apparently, lots of people have been looking at it. Good sign.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Fingers crossed. There's lots of silver here.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Victorian silver-plated spirit dispenser.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44We've had a lot of interest in this.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I start the bidding with me at £200.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- 200!- 210. 220. 230.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53240. 250. 260.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55270. 280. 290.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58300. 320.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00340. 360.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- 380. 400.- That was a "come and buy me", Catherine!- Yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:10- "Yes"!- We hadn't seen anything like this! This is brilliant!- 460.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12480. 500.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15520. At 520. 540.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19560. 580. 600.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- 620.- Wow! Come and buy me!
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- 640. 660.- 660!- 680.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28700. At 700.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33720. At 720 on the telephone now. 720.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35740, another place. At 740.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37At 740 against you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39760. 780.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43At 780. At £780 in the corner now.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46At 780 against you all. Are you all done?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- 780!- Seven hundred and eighty pounds!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- That's brilliant.- That is fantastic!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I was expecting £200 there!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I thought maybe 300 to 400, that sort of price.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Yes. But it's such an unusual thing.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I'm shaking! What are you going to put the money towards?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I was going to give it to my grandchildren,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13but I've decided I'm going to give it to two charities.
0:14:13 > 0:14:19The blind and the deaf. In the First World War, my father lost his hearing in one ear
0:14:19 > 0:14:20when he was in the trenches.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- This piece was his, wasn't it? - Yes, that's right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Then he lost his sight later in life.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31He would appreciate it going to something like that.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- A lovely idea.- How wonderful. - Very nice.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39A great result. Sylvia honoured her father by giving the proceeds to two appropriate charities.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Now we're off to Diss in Norfolk
0:14:41 > 0:14:46and Iris's medals, some from the First World War, with one a little bit different.
0:14:46 > 0:14:52- Lovely medals.- Yes.- James is brave to put a value on these cos it's a hard thing to value.
0:14:52 > 0:14:59It is, but with the Great War medals, they tend to make the same values time and time again.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02The more unusual ones are a bit more speculative.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- But they should do that.- OK.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09What will you put the money towards?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13It's our ruby wedding in September and we're going to Canada.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Fantastic!- We'll put it towards that.- The more, the merrier.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- You're here with your husband.- Yes. - Let's give him a wave. In love still!
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Good luck! It's going under the hammer right now. This is it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Three 1914-1918 war medals.
0:15:29 > 0:15:37J.W.Cross. I start them at £100, bottom end of estimate.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- 120. 140.- Straight in. They're gone. - 160.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42180. 200.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47220. At £220 now. 40 may I say?
0:15:47 > 0:15:5240? At £240. Is the bid there? A nice clean set.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55We'll sell away to the bid of £240.
0:15:55 > 0:16:02- Oh, that's very good! Thank you! - Hammer's gone down. £240!
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Very good, wasn't it? - Put it towards that holiday.- Lovely!
0:16:07 > 0:16:13What a great result! Will there be more excitement with the Maori medal coming up?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17We're looking at 120 to 180.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20That's what our expert James has put the value at.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22We chatted to the auctioneer earlier.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- He said it should do more than £200. - Hope so.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It's got every chance. It's in good order,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31it's fresh to the market, the condition is good.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34It's going under the hammer now. Good luck.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38The old Maori medal. A New Zealand medal.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44We believe this is a rare medal. We start at bottom end of estimate, 120.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48140. 160. 180. 200.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52220. 240. 260. 280.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55At £280 bid.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58300. 320.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00340. 360.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02380. 400.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04420.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06440.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10At £440 bid. It's a rare medal.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Last chance. You won't find another. It's 440. 460.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Wow!- Go on!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18At 480. Last chance again.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21£500 I'm bid.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23At 500 now and may I say 20?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27At £500 now.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29He's delighted at £500!
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Marvellous! Wonderful! - Hammer's down. £500!
0:17:32 > 0:17:37- I think we both got that wrong! - I'd rather get it wrong that way than the other!
0:17:37 > 0:17:44- That was wonderful!- A few people here have fought a personal battle, bidding against each other.
0:17:44 > 0:17:51My husband thought it did well because it was lot 377 and seven's our lucky number!
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- Not any more!- £500 is a lot better than 180!
0:17:56 > 0:18:01The medal collectors were out in force, giving Iris a total of £740.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07Let's go north to Tyneside in 2007 and Keith's piece of Delft valued by David Barby.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12My favourite lot of the sale. It's a blue and white Delft cup
0:18:12 > 0:18:15with a value of 80 to £120.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- It's the auctioneer's cliche. It belongs to Keith, but not for much longer!- Hope so!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22The damage won't put people off.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- David, I think this could do...- I hope a lot.- 200 to 300, somewhere.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33- What do you do for a living? - I worked in an open-cast mine, a "sunshine mine"!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- A sunshine mine! How long did you do that?- 27 years.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- So that means on the surface? - Well, you go down the shaft.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47- That is a lot of description! - Catching the rays! - When did you finish that?
0:18:47 > 0:18:522005. Made redundant. I've been on the sick for about a year now.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- So the money is going to come in handy?- Yeah.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- Say goodbye!- I've got a couple of phone bids there.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I'm starting at £250.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- Yes!- 250. 260. 270.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10280. 290.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13300.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15320. 340.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17360.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19380. 400.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22410 on the phone. Anybody else?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25420 on the other phone.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27430.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- 440. 450.- 450?!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33460?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37460, Caroline's phone.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40At £460 for the last time,
0:19:40 > 0:19:41460.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Yes! No surprise to me. Fantastic!
0:19:45 > 0:19:49The purists were here. They adored it. A couple of phone bids.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Hot competition.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- A lot of money.- I thought 150 or something.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Keith would be happy with 80 quid, just to get rid of it!
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's difficult to judge the market. That could have been a London buyer.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04What are you going to spend that money on?
0:20:04 > 0:20:10We haven't had a holiday for two years. So it's a holiday this year.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Where are you going? - Majorca.- Enjoy it!
0:20:16 > 0:20:22A little gem. 250 years old. No doubt it went off to a private collection.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26And the next lot is David's collection of pocket watches.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33We've got 300 to £500 resting on this, put on by our expert Philip.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- These were Dad's?- Yes.- I had a chat to our auctioneer before the sale,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and he agreed with you, Philip.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46He didn't want to split them up. He said there's good ones and bad ones.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50The bad ones will struggle so you have to put them with the good ones.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55So, job lot. They'll go to a watch repairer, a horologist or collector.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59There are a couple of crackers, and I like the keys as well.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It's a nice collection all together.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Yes.- They'll go to someone and do really well.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Yes. Fingers crossed. We're going to find out.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14Pocket watches, fobs and keys, all sorts of bits and pieces.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Lots of interest and lots of excitement.- That's good.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Coming in above estimate at £530.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Straight in at the top end! 530! - 540. 550.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- 570. 580.- Bidding in the room.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32600. 620. 640.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36660. 680. 700. 720. 740.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Really going!- Time goes quickly!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42820. 840. 860. 880.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45900. 920. 940.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49960. 980. 1,000. And 50.
0:21:49 > 0:21:531,100. And 50. 1,200. And 50.
0:21:53 > 0:21:561,300. And 50. 1,400. And 50.
0:21:56 > 0:21:581,500.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- 1,600.- So quick to get there. Time flies!
0:22:02 > 0:22:041,800.
0:22:04 > 0:22:061,800, seated. Anywhere else?
0:22:06 > 0:22:101,800 is back. 1,900. 2,000, sir?
0:22:10 > 0:22:121,900 we're at. 2,000 anywhere else?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15At £1,900 for the collection of watches.
0:22:15 > 0:22:171,900. All sure and done?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Yes, the hammer's gone down.- Your dad knew what he was doing!- Wow!
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- He started collecting as a boy.- Yes. - How many brothers and sisters have you?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Three sisters.- OK. So that's going four ways.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Then there's 15 altogether, the division, with the grandchildren.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40- Right. OK! I'm pleased we got nearly two grand!- Yes!
0:22:40 > 0:22:45You must be so pleased. Over the moon. Thanks for bringing it in.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56What a wonderful collection of watches. Special memories of Dave's father.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I'm pleased the whole family will benefit from that one.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Now, I want you to meet one of the loveliest people I've ever interviewed
0:23:03 > 0:23:05over the last ten years on the show.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07She's the daughter of a real pioneer
0:23:07 > 0:23:11and it was an absolutely fabulous day out for me.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20I met her on the spot where her father became one of the first British airmen.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But you may not be able to guess where we were.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33If I ask you to think of an airport in the Sussex area,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36you're probably thinking Gatwick. I know you are.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41But it's not Gatwick. It's below me, the oldest licensed airfield in Britain.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44It's the historic Shoreham airfield.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Shoreham was officially opened in 1911,
0:23:48 > 0:23:55having previously been earmarked by local businessmen as a site for an aerodrome.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59With its ready access to London and the continent, Shoreham was attractive
0:23:59 > 0:24:03for new industrial growth and the expanding tourist market.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Pioneering aviators soon began to use Shoreham,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08launching their flying careers.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Two such aviators were the brothers Eric and Cecil Pashley.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Today, I'm fortunate to meet Nonie Cellier, the daughter of Cecil Pashley,
0:24:17 > 0:24:22and talk to her about her father's love affair with Shoreham.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Nonie, it's a real pleasure to meet you.- You, too.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Especially up here on the roof of the terminal. What a view!
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- Beautiful Sussex. - I want to know about your father. He was such an icon.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39He and his brother were mad about models and things.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- They made models together.- Aircraft? - Yes, gliders.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- They were 16 and 17 when they started.- Young lads!- Yes,
0:24:47 > 0:24:53- absolutely boys!- You can't imagine 16-year-olds building their own aircraft today!- I know!
0:24:53 > 0:24:58Then that wasn't good enough for them. They wanted to get into powered flight.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And that's where it all started.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05In 1913, the Pashley brothers moved to Shoreham
0:25:05 > 0:25:07to set up a flying school.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11But the outbreak of war in 1914 saw Shoreham requisitioned
0:25:11 > 0:25:14as a training base for the Royal Flying Corps.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Both brothers signed up. Cecil as a flying instructor and Eric as a fighter pilot,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23who was tragically killed in a flying accident while posted in France.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27After the war, the local authorities of Brighton, Hove and Worthing
0:25:27 > 0:25:31established Shoreham as the airport to serve the three towns.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Construction on the main terminal building began in 1934
0:25:34 > 0:25:38and it was finally finished on 13 June 1936.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43The Art Deco terminal was officially opened and witnessed by young Nonie.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48So when was your first experience of watching your father? Can you remember?
0:25:48 > 0:25:55- I was seven and standing here in 1936.- On this roof?- On this very roof
0:25:55 > 0:25:57looking at this wonderful view.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- It hasn't changed much? - No, it hasn't. And of course,
0:26:00 > 0:26:06watching him, he did a crazy flying thing on the day the airport opened.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- Loop the loop?- Off the ground. It was real precision stuff.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16- I loved watching him do that. It was so exciting.- What planes was he flying?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- A Gypsy Major. Tiger Moth. - Tiger Moths.- Yes.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23But three years after the terminal building opened,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26war struck again. While Shoreham was commandeered by the RAF,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Cecil found his skills in demand once more.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Tell me about your father's role during the war.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38When war broke out, the Air Ministry were after him to go into the training command.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- To teach pilots? - Yes, and that's what he did.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- You've brought a picture of him. Can I see?- Yes, please do.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- That's the beautiful Avro 504. - Look at that!- Isn't it lovely?
0:26:50 > 0:26:55That's fantastic. It says here he's clocked in some 20,000 flying hours.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- Amazing.- Yeah.- And those were just logged. He used to forget to log half of them!
0:27:00 > 0:27:06They used to be left in pockets, little bits of paper!
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Cecil was truly an amazing man, flying well into his 70s.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13In recognition of a flying career that spanned nearly 60 years
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and training an estimated 1,600 people,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20he was awarded both the Air Force Cross and the MBE.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Did you learn to fly as a young girl?- No, I never wanted to.
0:27:24 > 0:27:30I wanted to ride a horse. He said that was a very silly thing to do. Very dangerous!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Better off building your own aircraft!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Lots of fond memories?- Lots of them.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44This was a very busy little airport. It's busy today. Lots of helicopters.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Does it make you want to learn to fly?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I want to. I don't understand why you didn't want to.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It's not a girlie thing to do, I don't think.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- I understand there's a plane named after your father.- Yes.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00The Tiger's in the hangar. It's called The Spirit of Pashley.
0:28:00 > 0:28:06- How lovely!- My mother launched it in 1991, I think it was.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10That was his 100th anniversary.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16They reconditioned it all for that occasion, which was marvellous.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21- What an accolade!- Yes, absolutely. I want his name to live as long as possible.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24The spirit of Pashley. I'm sure it will. I'd love to have met him.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26I wish you could have done.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Back to our valuation days.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39In 2007, we visited Luton.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Anita Manning talked to Alvin and Marion about their piece of Victorian tableware.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48This wonderful centrepiece
0:28:48 > 0:28:53is about elaborate dining in the 19th century.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Tell me, where did you get it?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59It was handed down through my family.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02They had a big house and all this sort of thing went with the house.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07- So it came from a big house. - Yes.- Let's have a look at it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11It's silver-plated. It is of such good quality
0:29:11 > 0:29:16that I believe it to be Elkington's.
0:29:16 > 0:29:22If we look at the style, we see these elaborate winged horses with fish tails.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27On these arms, we have a ram motif.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32This was typical of the Victorians, to mix their styles up.
0:29:32 > 0:29:38We've got this classical column here and these more elaborate aspects to the item.
0:29:38 > 0:29:44On top of these arms, we have these cut-glass bowls.
0:29:44 > 0:29:50Again, they're in good condition, and condition is so important.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Why do you want to sell it?
0:29:52 > 0:29:57My big worry is that these will get damaged, with the grandchildren.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02But I do love it. It's beautiful. I do appreciate old things.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05We have had other things passed down to us as well.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07It looks lovely here!
0:30:07 > 0:30:14It's perhaps an unpractical object to have when you have grandchildren running about.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18You couldn't have it out. It's kept in the box, which is a shame.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Is it time to pass it on?- Yes.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Well, I would estimate it in the region of 200 to £300.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- Would you be happy to sell it? - Yes, we would.- Yes.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Thank you very much for bringing this beautiful item to Flog It.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I will see you at the auction
0:30:36 > 0:30:41and I'm sure we'll all have big smiles on our faces.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Would you have that on your dining table? Perhaps for special occasions!
0:30:46 > 0:30:52I've just time to remind you of three other special items I found in the archive.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Elizabeth Talbot spotted a very personal item in Lincoln in 2005.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Tony's childhood chair.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04- Did either of you ever sit in this chair?- I did as a small boy.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09- You did?- Yes.- What can you tell me about the chair before or after that?
0:31:09 > 0:31:14It belonged to my aunt. I remember her saying she'd sat in it as a child.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17It fetched £170 at auction.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23In Watford in 2006, Catherine Southon loved Bert's Steiff toy
0:31:23 > 0:31:26which he had very happy childhood memories of.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Who's this lovely little pussy you've brought along? - My pussy cat.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35- Where does he come from? - He's from my Aunty Alice.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- You were given him when you were? - Two years old.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- He's been very well played with. Is it a he or a she?- Oh, he's a he.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45You love him, don't you? Why are you selling him?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- He might go to a better home. - He might well.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Catherine valued this between 100 and £150.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Bert was delighted when it made £280.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Mark was drawn to Debbie's Royal Doulton jug
0:31:59 > 0:32:01which she brought to Monmouth in 2008.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05What I like about it is this is Royal Doulton
0:32:05 > 0:32:11and it's from the series ware that refers to the colours, the browns and greens. Autumnal colours.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Are we going to get a good price or will it just be par for the course?
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Well, I hope we get a hole in one!
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Even with the puns, it still managed to make £110.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28In Weston-super-Mare in 2004,
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I met Keith who got me excited with this set of mechanical toys.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Keith, this is folk art at its best.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39You've got a lovely German engine, which is late Victorian,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and these superb scratch-built toys which adapt to it.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- That's right. - Tell me all about them.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50All I know is my father was given this when he was about 12 years old.
0:32:50 > 0:32:56- Right.- He was born in 1888.- Turn of the 1900s. This is late Victorian.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00It's been in the family ever since. It's been in my loft for years.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06My grandchildren are not really interested in inheriting it,
0:33:06 > 0:33:10so I thought I'd get it valued, bring it along,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14and possibly sell it.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- It's not water-driven or steam-driven.- No, just hot air.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Just hot air which is trapped in this pump.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25- Yes.- We put the meths in here. - Yes.- Soak the wick slightly.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- Yes.- Set fire to it.- Yes, and it heats up this...- Chamber.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35- This is the oil and you take that out...- Drop a bit of oil in there.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- It stops it locking up. - Cycle oil, you need.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Then to start it, you just move the wheel forward.- Yes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- It just...- Does it itself.- Yes.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- It's the fly wheel.- We've had these on Flog It before.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50A couple have struggled around the £80 mark.
0:33:50 > 0:33:58- That's good.- But I think that with these two naive toys that have been adapted,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01what we call in the trade scratch-built.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06- Scratch-built.- Built out of nothing, bits of scrap metal, down in the shed.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- That's right.- In the garage.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11A complete one-off in a very naive sort of manner.
0:34:11 > 0:34:17It looks as though they've been nailed onto this wood by my father possibly.
0:34:17 > 0:34:24If we turn this around, you can see that is a circular saw
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- which is being driven by a wheel here.- Right.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31It's driven by this. This goes around there.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36And under there and you can link it up with that one.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Eventually, the power comes from here by threading this through.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Onto that cog.- Onto that cog there.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- Did you see these working at one stage?- Yes, I had it working yesterday!- Really?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- I got it out and tried it. - For old times' sake.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56I didn't bring any methylated spirits and oil with me. I didn't think I would need to.
0:34:56 > 0:35:03- Would you be happy if we put it into auction with a value of 80 to £100? - Yes, I would.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06I love it. I love the circular saw.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08This is great, the sharpening stone.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13- This is unusual. What's this?- Those are hammers.- Percussion hammers.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18When it's going, they bang quite quickly. Bang, bang, bang. Very quickly.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Shall we flog them?- Yes, please.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24I love those toys. Better than any video game.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27We'll see how they sold a bit later.
0:35:29 > 0:35:35We're off to Bristol now, where in 2010, Rachel brought David Barby something very old indeed.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Rachel, how on earth did you get your hands on this?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41My granddad gave it to me.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44He gave it to me about four years ago.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48He was very poorly and he was on his last legs
0:35:48 > 0:35:52and he said to take care of it for him or do whatever's best.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Whatever I want to do with it. - Did he survive?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- He's passed away. - He's passed away.- Yeah.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- Where did you keep this?- I've kept it in a pot in the cupboard.- A pot?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Just with my spare change!
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- You kept this in spare change? - Yes, with all my coppers.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14This is extraordinary.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18It's about 1528, that sort of period.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23And it was minted, we think, at the Tower Mint.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26There were five places. The Tower,
0:36:26 > 0:36:32Canterbury, York, Durham and here at Bristol.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36There were only five occasions when these were actually minted.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39And they're called angels. Angel coins.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- And they are gold.- Oh!
0:36:42 > 0:36:4523-carat gold.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49And you kept this in a pot with loose change!
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Yes.- That is absolutely extraordinary.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54If you look at it in detail,
0:36:54 > 0:36:59there's exquisite modelling of an angel on the surface. Can you see?
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Beautiful.- Probably St George and the dragon.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05We know it's Henry VIII because if I turn it upside down,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- on the back we have a boat...- Yes.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12..the royal shield, the cross,
0:37:12 > 0:37:16and just by the side of the cross, we have the initial H.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18For Henri. Henry.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20All the way round, you have lettering
0:37:20 > 0:37:26which states that Henry was King of England and France.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- It's absolutely remarkable. - Beautiful.- Beautiful. But what would you do with it?
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Not much. Probably put it back in the pot!
0:37:34 > 0:37:40That's terrible. Terrible. If I said it's worth between 400 and £600.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Amazing.- We'll put a reserve of £400 on it.- Yes.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Thank goodness you kept that!
0:37:46 > 0:37:50That's the last of my selections from the archive today.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Here's another look at what we took to the sale rooms.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57Alvin and Marion had just the thing for anyone with a grand Victorian dining table.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02Keith's mechanical miniatures were no doubt destined for a collector.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06And Rachel's gold coin felt like a tiny piece of buried treasure.
0:38:07 > 0:38:13First, Cambridge. Alvin and Marion's Victoriana is going under the hammer.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Now for that lovely Victorian centrepiece
0:38:17 > 0:38:22which has been brought in by Alvin and Marion who have disturbed their holiday for this.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Yes.- You've broken your holiday to come to the auction.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- Not only that, it's your birthday. - Yes.- Many happy returns.- Thank you.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- We need 200 to £300 on this. - It's an item of great quality.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39It was for grand living in a grand house.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Let's hope we get a grand price! - I think we will.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- It was brought out for special occasions. You used it.- Yes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- It came down through the family, back to about 1850.- Gosh.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- In the family a long time. It's a special occasion today.- Yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- Let's face it. Good luck.- Yes. - It's going under the hammer.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00A silver-plated centrepiece.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- Where do we see this? I've got one, two, three, four, five commission bids.- Yes!
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- I'll work through those. - It is the centrepiece!
0:39:08 > 0:39:11At 350 just. 350 I'm bid.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14360 I'll take from you. At 360. All my bidders are out.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Who'll join us? I shall sell it then.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19At £360.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- Yes! Good, good!- A brilliant result.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Well done.- Well done. - You knew your stuff!
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Yes. Will was confident with that.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31I had a chat and he said it should do top end plus.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Well, that's making the holiday and the birthday.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Well, that was grand.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Marion and Alvin were delighted.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41What a birthday treat.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46Next, it's my turn. I loved this lot of magical childhood memories
0:39:46 > 0:39:50which went under the hammer in Somerset in 2004.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Lots of memories with this.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55My father was given that when he was about ten years old.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59He was born in 1888. So about 1898 when he had it.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02It's well over 100 years old.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It's been in my attic for years.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Now is the best time to see what it will fetch.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I think it's museum quality. I want to see top money on this.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- About 120.- So do I.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Lot 275. Another interesting lot. Original unrestored condition.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23We'll start at £280. Who's in at 300?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25300 I'm bid on the phone.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29320 I'm now bid. At 320 against you.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32320. 340 I'm bid on the phone.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- At 340, last call.- I'm speechless.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35340?
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- It's yours at 340.- Yes!
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- What's going through your mind? - I don't know! I'm speechless!
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- I had no idea it would fetch so much.- Golly!- Wonderful.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Two or three people obviously wanted that.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51That's all I can say. I hope it has gone to a museum.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Yes, I hope so.- It was quite rare.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Good. Well, I'm glad to hear it's been justified.
0:40:58 > 0:41:04- Thank you for bringing it in. - I can pay for the grandchildren's education!
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- And treat yourself as well. - Yes, we shall do that.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13What a lovely moment for Keith. He was truly shocked at that result.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18We're staying in Somerset for the sale of Rachel's gold coin.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21More research had to be done on this coin by the auction house.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26It was discovered it was minted during the reign of Henry VII,
0:41:26 > 0:41:30not Henry VIII as first thought.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32So, did it make a difference to the sale?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36I've been waiting for this one. There's tension in the air.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40I'm joined by Rachel and David talking about the gold coin in the reign of Henry VII.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43400 to £600. I had a chat to Mark, the auctioneer.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47He loves it as well. It's wonderful just to hold something like that.
0:41:47 > 0:41:53Particularly if you love Tudor history. Something that dates from Henry VII reign.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56It's been on TV recently, the history of the Tudors. It's superb.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00And when you hold this you can see it's been nibbled round the edges.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05- So it's been used...- Clipped. - It's been clipped as part payment for things.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Let's hope you get more than £600.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Lot 420, the oldest thing here today.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15It's the Henry VII gold angel.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Starting at 480. 500.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22520. 550. 580. 600. 620.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25650. 680. 700.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30720. 750. 780. 800.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32820. 850.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Wow!- Oh, wow!- I'm tingling!- 880.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38900. 920. 950.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40980. 1,000 on the books.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Ooh! A thousand!- I'll take £50 more.
0:42:46 > 0:42:481,050 in the room. 1,100?
0:42:48 > 0:42:54Anyone else? 1,100? All done, then, at £1,050.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Yes! Hammer's gone down.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- £1,050.- Oh, I feel all nervous!
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Oh, Rachel, that was a wonderful thing.- That's brilliant.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07All down to your granddad. I'm excited for Theo and for you. Hope it all goes well.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- I'm so nervous. Thank you very much! - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20What a wonderful moment for Rachel. That was really something special.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24It brought back so many memories of her grandfather.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Sadly, we've come to the end of today's programme.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30I hope you've enjoyed our trip down Memory Lane.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34So until next time when we take another look through the archives,
0:43:34 > 0:43:37it's goodbye from Sherborne Castle in Dorset.
