0:01:15 > 0:01:17Thanks, Dad!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Now, where did I put that tax file?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24YAPPING
0:01:26 > 0:01:28My keys!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I know I put my new Bionic Bunny comic in my backpack.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- What's this?- Oh, I've been looking everywhere for that! Thank you.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yuk!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46SNIFFING
0:01:46 > 0:01:48HE BARKS
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Have you ever noticed how when you're looking for one thing,
0:01:52 > 0:01:58you often find something else instead? My comic! Thanks, boy!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Ah!- Oops!
0:02:07 > 0:02:12These books are due back in three weeks. This is overdue.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16You owe me 600! I do take credit cards!
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- DW, shh! I don't wanna miss anything. - TV ON
0:02:21 > 0:02:23'Back to Treasure Caravan!
0:02:23 > 0:02:29- 'Tell me where you found this chair. - I bought it for 10 at a yard sale.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32'It's not comfortable to sit on,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- 'so I've been keeping it in the garage.'- DW, move!
0:02:36 > 0:02:4010! Who knows what it's really worth!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- It's just an ugly chair! - That's what YOU think!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47'I would say it was made some time in the 1790s.'
0:02:47 > 0:02:50It's a Federal-style chair.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- So what?!- Shh!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55'There are teeth marks on the legs.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- 'I'd say it was once owned by someone with a dog.- I wondered.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03'It would be better if there were no teeth marks.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08'However, at auction, this chair could easily bring...'
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- 1,000?- It's got teeth marks!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- I'm going to say 500! - You've gotta be kidding!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17'..30,000!'
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- 30,000!- For that old thing?!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And to think he paid 10 for it!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I love this show!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32'That's it for this week's edition of Treasure Caravan!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36'Be sure to join us next time, when the Treasure Caravan
0:03:36 > 0:03:39'will be coming to you from the Elwood City Centre!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42'So come on out and remember...
0:03:42 > 0:03:45'every treasure has a story!'
0:03:46 > 0:03:49This is our chance to be on Treasure Caravan!
0:03:49 > 0:03:55- I'm going to get tickets.- We have to find something good to take.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I don't wanna be one of those people who brings a piece of junk.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04It's a bugle from the Civil War.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Oh, it can't be from the Civil War period.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- It's plastic! LAUGHTER - Are you sure?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13This is just a cheap little toy.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17But maybe you could use it as a noise maker!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19BLOWS TRUMPET
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I don't wanna look like a fool on TV.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25You can't trick the cameras, Arthur!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I bet we can find something worth taking in my attic.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Come over tomorrow and we'll see.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I can't believe Treasure Caravan is coming to town.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I'm taking this sapphire necklace that once belonged to royalty.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Where did you get that?- It was passed down by my great grandmother,
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Taffy Crosswire. She was travelling back from Europe on a steamship
0:04:50 > 0:04:54when she made the acquaintance of the Arch-Duchess of Moldavia!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Allow me to introduce myself.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04I am Irena Katrina Von Hapsemberg, Arch-Duchess of Moldavia!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07'They became fast friends.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10'One night, there was a storm at sea.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'The Arch-Duchess seemed troubled.'
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, please, tell no-one,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19but I am in desperate need of money!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Perhaps I can help.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I would never dream of accepting charity!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28And I would never give it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32But how about if you sell me that necklace you're wearing.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40So my great grandmother bought the necklace, and now, it's mine.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Oh, it must be worth millions.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Stuff like that never happens in MY family!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52So I can't decide if I should take my hockey card collection,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57or the things I've collected that were clearly left behind by aliens.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I would go with the hockey cards.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05You're right. It's probably better not to let THEM know I've got this.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So what are YOU taking?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I'm still looking for the right thing.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Oh, my, there's even more up here than I remembered.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23We'll search every inch until we find something amazing.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26This looks really old.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It's yours if you'd like it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- BABY CRIES - What's wrong, Kate?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34You like that blanket, do you?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I'm gonna put Kate down for her nap.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40We'll keep looking.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Oops!
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Woo! This looks like it's made of gold!- Let me see that!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02No way! Finders keepers!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Get out of my way!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Dad, careful!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Do you remember where you got this chair?- I really don't,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24but it does look like the chair we saw on TV.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29No teeth marks, so who knows what it could be worth.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32'Welcome to the Recovery Channel.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35'Tonight, we're talking to Arthur Read,
0:07:35 > 0:07:40'the boy who recovered the most valuable chair of all time!
0:07:40 > 0:07:45'At first, I thought it was one of those 30,000 chairs.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48'But when I saw it was in perfect condition,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51'I knew it was even more valuable.'
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Watch out! You almost crushed my special box!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Dad, no sitting in that chair!
0:08:09 > 0:08:14This sapphire necklace was passed down to me by my great grandmother.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18She purchased it from the Arch-Duchess of Moldavia,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21the famous Irena Katrina Von Hapsemberg.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25How did your great grandmother become acquainted with the her?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29They met aboard a steamship when she took a trip to Europe.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Well, the sapphires are actually simulates.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Ooh, sounds expensive!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40They're imitations, fakes. It's costume jewellery.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Secondly, to my knowledge, there was no Arch-Duchess of Moldavia
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- by the name of Irena Katrina Von Hapsemberg.- There wasn't?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I believe that your great grandmother was tricked.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01There's a sucker on every ship!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04EVIL LAUGHTER
0:09:07 > 0:09:11However, it is a beautiful piece of costume jewellery.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Not everyone can get away with a colour like this.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Look how it brings out your eyes.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23I'm glad you told me to bring the hockey cards.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I just found out that this card is worth 5.45!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- And I only paid a quarter for it! - That's great.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Is that THE chair? Can I see it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I can't unwrap it. It might get scratched.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41OK. I'm gonna find the caravan popcorn stand.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I'll be watching for you on the TV screens. Good luck!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oh, my, this is uncanny!
0:09:50 > 0:09:5330,000. 30,000.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58The overall design, the shape of the legs and the seat...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- It's remarkable.- It is?- Really?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I see lots of chairs, but this one is exactly like
0:10:06 > 0:10:09a chair my grandmother used to have.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I have fond memories of sitting in a chair like this at her house.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- How nice.- But what's it worth?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Maybe 25.
0:10:19 > 0:10:2125?!
0:10:21 > 0:10:26But it looks exactly like the chair that was worth 30,000!
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Oh, no, this was made in the 1970s. Not the 1790s.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36No comparison, really. Now that looks like something special.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39This?
0:10:39 > 0:10:44This is an original dance apron made by a native American tribe
0:10:44 > 0:10:48from the Pacific North West called the Chilkat.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51How would something like that end up in your attic?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55My mother said it was passed down to her from her great uncle -
0:10:55 > 0:11:00a prospector who went to British Columbia to seek his fortune.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05It was a common gift at potlatchesamong the native people there.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08What's a potlatch?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13It's a ceremony at which you give away as many gifts as possible
0:11:13 > 0:11:15to your guests.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21'Maybe your great great uncle was a guest at one.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26'Wow! I wish we could find out for sure.'
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Do you know if he ever wrote letters home or kept a diary?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33My mother said he used to write occasionally.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35We should find those letters.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's so wonderful that you care about your family history.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40BABY CRIES
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Wait, how much is the dance apron worth?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Well, this one is really worn.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53But I'd say...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55about 5,000.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59We can't let her have a 5, 000 apron!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01BABY SCREAMS
0:12:01 > 0:12:04See what I have to put up with?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10I never knew Arthur liked aprons so much.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Oh, it's so sad when money gets in the way of family.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Oh...here you go.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25AUDIENCE CLAPS Now that's the real meaning of family treasure.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29He'd never be that nice if we weren't on TV.
