Today on Bargain Hunt, the ever-darkening sky is the limit | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
for our teams of skydivers and pilots. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
We're almost ready for takeoff, so... | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Let's go bargain hunting, yeah. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
As we know on Bargain Hunt, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
profits can go down as well as up. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
And there is no time more appropriate for this to be | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
said than today, on our one-hour special. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
So, let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
It's up, up and away for our pilot Reds. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
-Is this newish, though, is it? -It is. What's that? | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-Look what we've got here. -Oh, no. Not again. I don't believe it. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
And our skydiving Blues give their expert the run-around. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
Tell you what could kick in, that "wood for the trees" panic. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
-Oh, no, there's so much. -It's happening right now. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
But who will take the ultimate prize at auction? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
62, 65, 68... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
I'm flying high, I'm flying high. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
Yes! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Let's meet today's teams. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
On today's programme, excitingly, we have pilots, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Malcolm and Gregory, for the Reds. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
And for the Blues, we have married couple, Lena and Joey, who are... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
-What are you? -BOTH: Skydivers. -Skydivers! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Excellent. Hello, everyone. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Very nice to see you. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
-Malcolm, you run a flying school. -I do. -How did you get into that? | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
I started off trying to just play with hang gliders | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
when I was in the air force, then, someone said, "Why don't you | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-"become an instructor?" -And you set up your own school? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-Set my own school up. -And have you had any scary moments when flying? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
Well, I have once. I asked a student how much fuel we've got left, he told me. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
20 minutes later I asked him again, he told me the same number. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
I looked down and... We run on a sight gauge, where the actual fuel sits in a glass tube. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
He was watching a stain. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
And then about 10 minutes later, on the way back, all went very quiet. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
You can glide down though, can't you? | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
You can glide, so I let him do half a landing, then I took over. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
How embarrassing. But anyway, it finished safely, that's the main thing. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
Now, Greg, you're also a flying instructor. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
I am a flying instructor. I've got a school at Sandtoft | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
and I go down to Darley Moor and also down south to do a bit of instructing. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
And imparting the knowledge to every newcomer must be fun too? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
It is fun, it's definitely exciting when they're trying to kill you all the time. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
You also work as a check pilot, how does that work? How does that figure? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Every year, an aircraft has its MOT | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
and then somebody has to jump in it and make sure it's safe to fly. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
Well, that's my job, I take it to its limitations, a bank angle, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
and also as fast as it needs to go, so there is a velocity you | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
never exceed and I have to take it to its velocity... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Well, that's pretty hairy, isn't it? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Well, I hope you're very well paid for that work. Actually... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Totally voluntary, yeah. -Oh, is it? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
Anyway. I think you two are going to make an excellent team. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
You're clearly extremely well disciplined | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
and we look forward to the result. Anyway, good luck with that. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Now, more hairy stuff, actually. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-Lena, skydiving is how you two met. -Yes, it is. -Isn't that fun? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
We met in Portugal, 1998, in Evora, for a World Cup competition | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
and Joey was the cute, little American guy, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
and that's where we met. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
And we both won the competition, so it was very successful. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
-Well, what a nice way to meet your man, anyway. -We worked out the rest. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
Through this sporting link. Now, you work as a massage therapist | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
-and you're also a daredevil. -A little bit. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
So, what do you get up to? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Well, skydiving started when I was 17 years old, which is | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
a long time ago. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Then I got into a little bit of base jumping, jumping off cliffs. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
Presumably always with a parachute? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Always with a parachute, it's highly recommended, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
always with a parachute. For sure. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Joey, what is your involvement in skydiving? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Well, that's pretty much all I'm involved in. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
I started skydiving in 1989, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
while I was serving in the United States Marine Corps. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
I got out of the Marine Corps after the first Gulf War. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
I tried to go to college, but I shortly moved to the airport | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
and I haven't left. That was 16,000 jumps... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
I have won five world gold medals | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
and, between all the different disciplines, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
I have won the US Nationals 18 times over the last 10 years. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
Good lord, that's quite something, isn't it? | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
It's no wonder you've never moved out of the airport. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
What sort of things do think you might be buying to make a profit today? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
I don't think that we're going to buy very expensive things... | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
I like retro stuff. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
You like retro stuff, you're going to buy cheap things. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-Spend as little as possible... -BOTH: The Golden Gavel. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
Oh, the Golden Gavel. If we can get that, it would be awesome. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-I'll put it next to my world meet model. -Really? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
To go with all your other trophies. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Well, we don't shell out Golden Gavels that often, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
I have to tell you. So, that's a good ambition. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece, you have your £300. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
You know your rules, your experts await and off you go. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
And very, very, very good luck. Stand by for takeoff. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
So, as we take to the fair, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
our teams will be piloted by two class acts. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Rocking and rolling with the Reds is Charles Hanson. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
And orchestrating the Blues' shopping experience is antique | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
classicist, Paul Laidlaw. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
OK, wing men, are you ready for takeoff? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-Definitely, all ready for it. -OK, flaps down? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Flap's down, chocks away. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Chocks away. But what's the plan? What are we after today? | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Well, for me, I like shiny and I'm going to go for something...aviation. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
We've had a bit of strategy, it's summertime, garden stuff, maybe. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Yeah. -Maybe some, you know, kitschy... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-Hipster stuff. -Maybe some glass. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
Something with a car in, or aeroplane, or a motorbike, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
and maybe something shiny as well, because we're always suckers for shiny stuff. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
-I like your style. Follow me, OK? -Let's do it. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
I've got to say, just one little warning, you guys jump out of perfectly good aircraft... | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-There is no such thing. -For fun! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
I don't think the adrenaline level is going to be quite as high, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
buying antiques. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
That said, if, with one minute to go, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
we've still got to buy something, prepare for the kicking... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-Come on. -Let's go. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
OK, teams, you're cleared for takeoff. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Your 60 minutes starts now. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
I vote we go... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-To where the sun is? -We'll go where you go. -Oh, get on with it, chaps. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Let's go this way, yeah. Let's do something in the marquee over here. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
Right, they're off. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
Carlos and the Reds veer off the runway | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
and the Blues jump straight into the goodies on offer. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Ah, this is really hard. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Don't be... I tell you what can kick in, that "wood for the trees" panic. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-The sort of, "Oh, no, there's so much!" -It's happening right now. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
Just chill. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:15 | |
Don't panic, Lena. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Paul's right, you've got plenty of time. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
So, Malcolm, ornaments, your sort of thing? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
Not china at all, no, it's got to be metal or wood. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-Definitely metal or wood. -Fine, OK. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
No to china, but yes to metal or wood. Nice and clear, eh, Carlos? | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
-Look at that... -No. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
This is what I would tend to call... Well, the mark on the back is for | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-Meissen. Have you heard of Meissen? -I haven't heard of Meissen. -You haven't heard of Meissen. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
It's nice to handle good things, to get a feel for what we're doing. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-£1,300. -£1,300? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
How much? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
But, just to get you in the mood, gents. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
We start from the top, you know, we fly high | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
and then we fly low, but that's a good start. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
Hey, we don't want anyone flying low on this show, Carlos. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
I'm scared to touch it now. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Huh. You don't need to, Malcolm, you can't afford it anyway. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
So, go and find something you can buy. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
-Are the Blues being more sensible? -95... -Goodness gracious. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-That's crazy. -Portmeirion Pottery, it's happening. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
But it's maybe enough money for us at auction. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
At auction, they make about £50 or £60. It's good spot. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
-You've got to speculate to accumulate, Lena. -12... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
-This is our price range, baby. -12? Yeah, that's true. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
But not with THAT, thank you. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:27 | |
-I've seen something I like, Malcolm. -Have you? It's shiny. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
That. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:33 | |
-Be good for covering up... bread loaf. -Wow! | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
Oh, no. Do you know, that's shiny and...aviation interest as well. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:43 | |
There's twin engines as well, that's pretty good. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
-Has it got twin engines? -Yeah, twin engines. -Is it a jet? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
I think that's going to be a jet, 1960s-1970s. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
And, of course, it's chrome plated. What's it purpose? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-Salt and pepper pot. -Absolutely. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
What you check for, gents, first and foremost, are the blue liners. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
You can see the blue coming through, absolutely. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
They are hopefully in good condition. The enamel label on here would suggest to me it was a little | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
souvenir you could have bought from Windsor, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
perhaps back in the 1960s, '50s. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
And you know, gents, it's novel and today, what the | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
antique market and collectors like are novel items. What a find. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
-Well, it just shouted at me. -I can imagine, Malcolm. -It just called. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
Off you go, Malcolm. Chase that final call. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
How much would you take for it, though? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
-What's on it? -It's £28. 24. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
Would you take 20? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-I'll play the game and take 22. -What about 21? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-21, so we're not getting it at ours and you're not quite getting it at yours. -Go on, then. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-21. -Shake her hand. -Thank you very much. -Wow, well played. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-We've got something. -Well played. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
I feel like cabin crew here, you know, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
just sort of watching my pilots drive me. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
Well, you're definitely flying high now, Carlos. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Well done, Reds, that's the first item | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
to tuck into your hand luggage. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-But what are the Blues diving into? -That's kind of a kitschy... -Oh! | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Oh, I kind of like that, actually. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
What period do you think it is... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
About '60s-'70s piece, or later? '60s. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-There was a lid on the bottom as well. -It must have been rewired, then. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
-Yeah, well, that's always... -You think it's period? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
I kind of like it. Yeah, I'd buy it for myself. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Excuse me, let me just... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-Would you live with that, guys? -How much was it? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
-If you clean that up... -It's 60, eh? Mm. That's a little hefty. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
You put that in the right sale, I think that's a good buy. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Put it in a general country sale, they could all go... | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-I can give you a good deal on it. -It would probably have to be crazy... | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
45. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
-I was thinking more like 25.... -Yeah, 28? I'd go to 28. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
Could we move it in a city sale... I would take a punt. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
Could it be 20 quid, easy money? He's going... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-22? 20. -25. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
-25, it's... -24. -24. -24 to give us a chance of selling it... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
Your guy's a machine, it's like machine-gun fire. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
All right, go for it. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
You've got a deal, folks, you've done it. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
Thank you very much, sir. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
Thank you. Thank you very much. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
I'll take the luck. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
We liked it. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Yes, I do like it a lot. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
And with that, the Blues make their first purchase. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
It's now one-all, and the Reds still seem fascinated with aviation. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
-Look, a little helicopter. -Is this newish, though, is it? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
It is, that would be 1970s. And look, there's you, Malcolm and me. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
There's your cabin crew, that's me. There's your cabin crew. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Yeah, maybe it's time to do the trolley service, then, Carlos. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
-Oh, I like the price on this one. -What have you got here? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-What is this, is this a lamp? -It's a lampshade, isn't it? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
I think we need to dream a little bigger than a lampshade... | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
I agree, Paul, I think you need to work on how much Lena | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
is willing to spend. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
-Look out, here we go again. -What's that? -Look what we've got here. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-Oh, no. Not again. I don't believe this. -Do the propellers spin? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-It's a table lighter. -It's a table lighter. -Yeah. And it's chrome plated. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
-1950s-60s. -What's the price on it? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
It doesn't have a price. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:24 | |
-The best price, £80. -£80... | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
That model is very, very rare. You won't see another one. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
We like rarity, but it's important to remember | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
that in a fairly collective sale, it might just struggle. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-Yeah, I think we'll get 10 quid for that. -I'd pay more for that. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
But there's one more thing over here I've seen. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
Put that down, let me just show you over here really quickly. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Well, we'll go with the expert. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:46 | |
-Because I just saw this hanging fire... -Oh, that is nice. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
Look at that, this is boxed as well. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
It's all complete, although you've got a few tears on the box edging, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:58 | |
but the actual little fighter is in good condition. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-What's your best price? -What's on it? -That's £13. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
-65, 65 is on it. -35. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Oh, my goodness me. 35. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
-Shall we do it? Let's do it. -Yeah, let's do that. -Are you sure... Yes? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
Let's do it. And then we can look for something non-aviation and more... | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
This is our aviation hour, right? And that's two down, one to go. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
Shake the man's hand. £35, you're a good man, sir. We'll take it. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
Thanks a lot, thank you very much. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
I quite like it. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
Well done, chaps, that's the second purchase checked in. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
Meanwhile, I feel the Blues are finding the shopping tough. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
Halfway through this exercise now, yeah. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
We need to find something in the next 10 minutes, leaving us | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-a third of the time...all right? -Yeah, yeah. We need to... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
We need to buy something. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
You do. It's time to start being decisive, team. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
Right, something to get your temperature rising, take a peek at what I found here. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
This is rather fun, isn't it? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
Just imagine how much work is involved in decorating | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
the frame of a thermometer like this. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
What we've got here is a bit of Victorian nonsense. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
It dates from between about 1840 and 1880, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
and whilst everybody says that pietra dura, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
hard stone inlaid work, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
all comes from Italy, is absolutely wrong. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
Because here, in Britain, in Derbyshire, based around | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
Ashbourne, we have our very own | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
hard stone inlaying businesses. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
Each of the decorative elements inlaid into the black is | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
a different coloured stone, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
which means that the black has to be carved out and then | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
individual little pieces of stone inlaid to complete the picture. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
And this is a complicated bit of inlay, believe you me. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
Each of the leaves have got several colours | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
and the several colours are represented by different stones. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
The leaves are connected by stems and fronds, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
and then we've got the odd flower, like this white jasmine, look. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:10 | |
And even that's got a red stone in the centre. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
And across the top, | 0:15:14 | 0:15:15 | |
a spray of delicious smelling lily of the valley. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
These elements contain the focal point, which is a scale, engraved | 0:15:19 | 0:15:25 | |
in Fahrenheit, upon which is placed a little mercury thermometer. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
Not to be outdone, the angular plinth is also inlaid, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
this time with a lovely dog rose, look. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
Pale pink and some buds, and a sort of malachite stem. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
Gorgeous. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
The Derbyshire craftsperson who created this put it together, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
because this back slab is one piece | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
and then we have a horizontal bead | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
and then the angular bit, and then a plinth, and then some block feet. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
So, there are about six elements which have been riveted and jointed. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
And hasn't this survived most beautifully? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
What I like about it is that it will appeal to all sorts. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
On the one hand, some people hate Victorian fussiness. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
Well, the design of this thing is really quite modern. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
It's clean in terms of its design and lines, | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
no twiddly Victorian bits. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
But on the other hand, it's extremely complicated, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
because the inlay is far from straightforward. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
And visually, it can do nothing but intrigue. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
The next bit of intrigue is, what's it worth? | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
Well, you could buy it for £220. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
Is that expensive? I don't think so. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
You try and do that inlay for £220. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
Back to the shopping and both teams are feeling the heat. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
It's two-one to the Reds, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
so the Blues are really feeling the pressure. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
Medina paperweights, that's collectable glass. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
Which one, those two there? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
The sea horses? Kind of like them. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-Want to go ask? -Let's ask. -Go ask. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
I couldn't find a price on this one. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
-The pair for 20. -The pair for 20? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
All right, I'll bring them back. Thank you. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
-They'll do the pair for 20. -The pair for 20, huh? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-You're not going to get rich on it. -No? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
You're not going to get overly burnt. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
-Should we just put them down? -Put them down and keep an eye on them. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-We can always get them later. -One on the side is always useful. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-We need something silver. -We need something! | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
I have my eyes on this vase over here. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-This one here. -I like the colour. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Back to Germany, aren't we? 1960s, West German. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
There'll be numbers on the bottom usually, there you go. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Oh, you've got a manufacturer, they seldom make their mark. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
-West Germany and it's by, looks like, Scheurich. -Scheurich Ceramic. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
Yeah...and a shape number. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
Couple of wee chips where it went down heavy. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
Mmmm, not helpful but not you could forgive it. Is it dear? | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
No...I think we could get it for 14. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
To be honest with you, I get that. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
I'm not a massive fan of these West German studio ceramics | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
but I appreciate the market for them. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Books are starting to be written, | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
this is the future of collecting, one side of it. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
This one, I've got to say, I like more than most. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
I like the combinations, | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
the glazes and more than anything these little swirls are fantastic! | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
They're really dynamic, aren't they? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
I do like the pattern and the colour, for sure! | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
I like the pattern and the colours. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
I've got to say, it would go tremendously well next to your lamp. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
There's a pattern developing. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
I get it. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
Shall we go check out what we can do? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Can we haggle with you over your pot or not? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
Very slightly, yes. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
I get that, I get that. I hear you. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
Can we be brutal, the three of us like it and it's difficult | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
-to tempt me with such pieces, so you've got something. -Right, OK. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
-Can I say there's a little chip to the foot. -A little bit. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-There's a couple of chips there at the bottom. -Help us. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
-It's on at 20. -Which I don't think is bad. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
Absolute best, 15. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
I think that's a good price. I'm just going to wade in and say, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
I think it's a good price. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
We would ask for 14, so we have a chance to get the 15 at auction. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-Ooooh! -We're trying to get our Golden Gavel! | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-You know how they go. -You'll get 35 at auction. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
We might do, I hope you're right. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
-Yeah, we'll do it. -We'll do it. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
Brilliant! Thanks for that. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you very much. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
Thank you. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Guys, you did it and you know how you did it? | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
You followed your taste. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-The lamp, this, you see the pattern developing? -We do. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Instinct and I'll tell you what, two good things. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Well done, guys, and miraculously, pretty much on schedule. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
I was starting to get a little bit of panic there | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
but I guess we're all right. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:48 | |
Well done, Blues, second buy in the bag for £15. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
Both teams are now looking for their final purchase | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
and finally the Reds are looking at a non-aircraft related item. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
Hooray! | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
Aren't these nice, guys? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
The market's so buoyant today for Persian, Indian, Chinese, | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Eastern silverware and they just, to me, are quite attractive. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
-Like them? -Personally, no. -No? Fine. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
Co-pilot? | 0:20:14 | 0:20:15 | |
-No. -OK. -It's a bit boring. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
That's OK, cabin crew, sit down, put them back | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
and enjoy the flight, thanks. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
Where are the emergency exits? | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
You crashed and burned with those, Charles. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
-I like that table. -You're crazy! | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
Now I'm panicking. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:32 | |
Has anyone got a brown paper bag that I can breathe into? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
Hey, it's not that bad, Paul. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
You're crazy, baby, you're crazy! | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
Well, maybe you're right. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Huh, your thoughts, Paul? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:43 | |
Do you know, I think for people that jump out of perfectly good | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
aeroplanes for kicks, I think they're fazed by this! | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
I'll tell you, see when they pull that ripcord, | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
I hope they're more decisive than this! | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
Time is fast moving on and Charles is trying to rally his troops. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
Gents, we've only got ten minutes to go. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
OK, ten minutes, one of my great loves is pottery and one thing | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
I like is that big plate over there. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-Do you like it, first of all? -I think that's quite nice. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
Big, chunky plate, let me tell you about it. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
I love this because this was made in around 1760. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
So, when you talk hands-on history you just imagine what hands | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
have taken, have passed, have caressed this plate | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
from the time when King George III came on the throne. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
And it's earthenware body with a white opaque tin glaze | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
almost deceived the British public that what was being | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
made in London was in fact porcelain, ie | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
copying the Chinese, when in fact all it is is a crude | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
earthenware, which over the time you can see will chip and crack. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
And I just love that plate. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
Why do I like it so much? Because it's a big one. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
Probably 14 inches. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
This has been a wall object for a long time, do you reckon? | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Yeah. I mean, to some people, | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
these metal mounts that you can take off can obviously damage the rim | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
by chipping away at the tin glaze because it's a very fragile body. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
But the design captures the passion | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
we had as Europeans for the mystical land of the Far East. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
Because we didn't know it. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
And what are these at the bottom here? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Could be swans on a lake. I just think it's probably a London piece | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
of circa 1760 and if I was putting this into my sale, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
I would guide it between £150-200. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-Do you like it? -I like it. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:31 | |
It's quite nice. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
It's something different, it's different...we want to go with | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
-something a little bit bigger this time. -A bit bigger, yeah. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
I mustn't sway you because you bought two wonderful aviation | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
lots but if I was putting my oar in I would go for that. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
-How much would you take for the plate? -£110. -110. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
-I think it's wonderful. -You reckon? | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
-Yeah, I do. -We'll go with the expert. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
I'd be happy to get it at 110 but it's your call, Greg. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
-Can we get a pound off you? -I'll take a pound off, 109. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
109, that sounds brilliant! | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
-And do you like it? -I think it's fantastic, yeah! | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
So, are we going, going, gone? | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
-We're going, going, gone! -Yeah. -Shake the man's hand. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
-Exactly! -Don't break it. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
That's it then, three down, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
-three done, no crash landing, congratulations! -Excellent! | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
So, that's it, Reds, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
prepare for landing with your three purchases on board. Well done. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
With only minutes left, the Blues are swimming against the tide, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
but can those dolphin paperweights save them? | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
What do you think, Paul? | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
My advice is, one of you go back, play it cool and try | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
and get them for a tenner because that's what they're worth. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
-All right, see you later. -Watch out, Lena. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
If you can't them for a tenner, we'll confer when we catch up. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
Run, Lena, run, time's running out. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
-Guys, no? -No, no, no. -OK. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
-Are you sure? -Come on, we've got to hurry. -All right. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
-We've seen something nicer. -Go, go, go. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
What time is it? | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
58.48. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Just over a minute on the clock, team. Come on, go, go, go! | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
These adrenaline junkies are wearing me out. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
-Sir? -No, lean up. Before we do anything - do you like it? | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
-Oh, yes, it's great. I like it. -But you've not seen it before. -No. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
-Are you interested in that? -I am absolutely interested in it. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
-I like it just because it's a lamp. -Huh. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
-He's asking £15, what do you reckon, Joey? -Seven quid. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
Deal? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
-And they've done it! -Good. -There we go. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
Ha-ha, time's up! | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
You won't be surprised to hear I've not done much skydiving, | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
but is it anything like this? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
-No. No, it's nothing like this. -It's nothing like this. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
Okie-doke, you can keep it. Lena, we better tell you what we've bought. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
-Yes. -Now, 1930s-1940s, somewhat novel electric table lamp | 0:24:41 | 0:24:48 | |
and combination clock by Ferranti, who were a huge corporation | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
manufacturing instrumentation and so on. It is in oak laminate. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:57 | |
Will I tell you what I like in particular? | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
It's The Roundabout Clock, funnily enough. Absolutely tremendous. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
All patented, good to go... | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
That is an uncommon Art Deco object... | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Good find. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
..bought within seconds of the hour. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
-I like it! -I like it, too. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
-£7. Crazy money. -Especially since we needed it. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
-I'm just going to go for a lie down, OK? -I'm right behind you. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
So with three purchases complete, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
the Blues have also finished their shop. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh? Mua-ha-ha... | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
Cleared for takeoff, their first purchase was a chrome-plated | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
aeroplane cruet set, which cost them £21. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
A dinky die-cast Gloucester javelin fighter plane in original box | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
cost them £35. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Finally, they touched down with this English Delft | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
blue and white plate for £109. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
Well, you zipped through that lot, didn't you? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
It wasn't too bad. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
-Was it as exciting as taking off and landing? -Definitely nearly. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
-Got the adrenaline up there? -It did. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:02 | |
-Which is your favourite? -We've got a little dinky aeroplane. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
-That's your favourite? -That's my favourite. -And what about you, Greg? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
-I like the little salt and pepper pot. That's quite nice and useful, so... -OK. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
-Is that going to bring the biggest profit? -No. -What's going to? | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
-I think the plate. Well, we took... -You took the advice. Did you? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
-14 inches, isn't it? -Yeah. -We're talking about a plate here, are we? | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
-Yes. -OK, large plate. Very nice. -1760s, was it? Correct, correct. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
-Well, there we are. And you spent in toto how much? -165. -165. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
-I'd like 135 of leftover lolly, please. -Sure you want it? | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
Yes, I do. Definitely. That goes straight over to Charles Hanson. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
That is for you to find the team's bonus buy | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
but for our special programme today, I'm going to give you a further | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
-£100, Charles Hanson, and this is for Tim's -Ton. Oh, crikey. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
You have to go off with that extra £100 | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
-and find an extra bonus buy. -Spend it wisely. -Spend it wisely. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
Which Charles always does. Good luck, Charles. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
A 1960s chrome-plated retro standard lamp turned them on for £24. | 0:26:54 | 0:27:01 | |
Another retro item, it's the Sheric ceramic vase which cost them £15. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:07 | |
And their last purchase was a mid-20th century Ferranti roundabout | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
clock for £7. You left at the last minute, didn't you? | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
-We sure did! -Oh, dear, dear! What do you think this is? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
-Well, we tried to make it exciting. -Oh, yeah, yeah. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
It's exciting enough and you spent practically nothing, | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
-somebody told me. How much did you spend? -£46. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
That is ridiculous on three items. So I would like 254, please. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
-There you go, Tim. -254. That is a pile of money. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
-I don't think I've ever had so much leftover lolly handed back. -Well! | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
-Which is your favourite piece? -Ooh, there's a lamp in there. -Is there? | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
-That's your favourite favourite? -There's two lamps. -Two lamps. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-But the silver lamp. -The silver lamp is just divine. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
-OK, we'll run with that. -Yes. -Thank you. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
-That's your favourite favourite. -Yes. -But what's your personal favourite? -The retro silver lamp. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
-Is that going to bring the biggest profit? -No. -No. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
What's going to bring the biggest profit? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 | |
-The roundabout clock. -The roundabout clock. -Art Deco. -OK, fine. -Yeah. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
Well, with this paltry amount of money spare and a huge amount | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
-of leftover lolly, Paul Laidlaw is going to have loads of fun. -Spend it well. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
And today, most especially, because it's a special programme, an extra | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
£100 called Tim's Ton for you to buy that extra bonus buy. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
Good luck, Paul! | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
So how's Carlos getting on finding his team bonus buy? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
I quite like this. My gents are pilots, and I'm the sailor boy. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
And here you've got the sailor's farewell and it's just sweet, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
it's innocent, it's celebrating a view of the cast-iron bridge | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
at Sunderland when it was opened in 1793. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
It's a real antique with this wonderfully marbled pink lustre | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |
ground surrounding the scenic views. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
The problem is it's got some damage. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
You've got the staining on the inside but it's just a big lump and I like it. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:47 | |
The best price the lady can do for this gorgeous jug is £100. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
I know Mark will say, "Charles, what have you bought THAT for?" | 0:28:51 | 0:28:56 | |
But as a standout object in the sale room, I think it oozes antique class. | 0:28:56 | 0:29:01 | |
I'm going to buy it, because to me, it's an investment for a collector. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
Well negotiated down from £160. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
Now, how will you do with your Tim's Ton, Charles? | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
I think we've got to remember I wanted to keep them | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
on the antique footing, ie go really old, go back one or 200 years. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:19 | |
And objects...wow! | 0:29:19 | 0:29:20 | |
Like this, which I hope - on inspection, and this one does. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:25 | |
This object is circa 1775-1790. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
I like this because the corners haven't been chipped. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
-It's in good condition. How much is it? -165. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
It's a margin in it at £100. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
-It's a hard decision but I'll do it for 100. Yes. -Really? -Yes. -Yeah? | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
It's wonderful, £100 for a box that oozes 18th-century pedigree. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:50 | |
Malcolm and Gregory are men's men | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
and I don't think they are going to be particularly taken by the | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
colour pink but I'm the pilot and I'll fly them, solo, if need be. | 0:29:55 | 0:30:00 | |
It's a great box. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:02 | |
With Charles' work complete, | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
how is Paul getting on with his bonus buy shopping? | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
Remember, he had £254 of leftover lolly for his team bonus buy. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:12 | |
So, what are you thinking, Paul? | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
Well, Lena and Joy tried in vain to find a piece of glass and indeed, | 0:30:15 | 0:30:21 | |
almost bought a pair of late 20th century paperweights. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:26 | |
With their leftover lolly, I have got them an antique piece of glass. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:30 | |
English, early 19th century what's called a gimmel flask. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
And that's cost me just £25 and I think it will potentially | 0:30:34 | 0:30:38 | |
blow their minds because they've got no idea what that is. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
£25 paid, I'm going to squeeze some profit out of that for them. Great. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
So, how do you plan to spend your Tim's Ton, Paul? | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
If you're an anorak, as indeed I am, you know | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
what's in these without opening up the case. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
It's extremely distinctive, particularly these side closing tabs. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:59 | |
You've seen plenty of binocular cases in your time, they all look the same, don't they? | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
Not these. These are Imperial German, these are First World War. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
And indeed, those are what I wanted to find inside. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
And the truth of the matter is, the leather case is rarer than the binoculars. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
I'll tell you what, Joey was in the Marines, Joey's a | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
military man and I think he'd get these. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
Wish me luck. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:18 | |
-How are you doing? I'm hoping to buy the binoculars. -Erm... | 0:31:18 | 0:31:25 | |
Yeah, they're all right. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:26 | |
Erm, if I wanted them for myself, they'd be all right | 0:31:26 | 0:31:30 | |
-but what would buy them, last sale of the day, maybe? -£50. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:34 | |
-£50 works for me, that's magic. -Cool. -Great stuff, thank you very much. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:39 | |
I've got to say, I think that's £50 of Tim's Ton well spent, | 0:31:39 | 0:31:44 | |
I'm happy with that. I think Joey will like it as well. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
I'll be taking a look at these bonus buys later on in the show. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:51 | |
Now, time for me to head off to London for a little slice of social history. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:56 | |
Today, I've come to the Geffrye Museum in London, | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
which really is a little oasis within the city. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:07 | |
It traces the development of the English home across four centuries. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:16 | |
So, if you want to see the differences in taste, style, | 0:32:16 | 0:32:21 | |
design and, to a degree, human behaviour, | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
this is the place to come and see it. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
The museum in Hoxton today is filled with wonderful objects and | 0:32:28 | 0:32:33 | |
artefacts, but the building itself was home to many, many people, | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
often in desperate need of a roof over their heads, | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
they owed a vast debt to a kindly benefactor. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
Robert Geffrye was a wealthy merchant who was | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
born in Cornwall in 1613. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
There's something of the Dick Whittington about him though, | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
because he came to London to seek his fortune, | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
at which he was successful and he also became Lord Mayor of London. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:01 | |
He also became master of one of the London Guilds, | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
the Company of Ironmongers, and Sheriff of London. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
When he died in 1704, he left money to help the poor and needy, | 0:33:08 | 0:33:13 | |
here, in the East End. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:14 | |
His bequest bought the land and paid for the building of 14 almshouses, | 0:33:14 | 0:33:19 | |
each split into four bedsit-type spaces. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:23 | |
These almshouses were built to provide shelter | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
for poor pensioners living in the area and | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
when they were completed in 1715, there was great demand for them. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:36 | |
Just one stipulation though, | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
that anybody who lived here had to be of good character. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:43 | |
Originally, the centrepiece of the building was to be a great hall | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
but plans were changed. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:48 | |
And instead, after a year of the almshouses being open, | 0:33:48 | 0:33:52 | |
the room was refitted as a chapel. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
Residents were obliged to attend services here each week | 0:33:55 | 0:33:59 | |
or risk being asked to leave. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
And this is how one of the almshouse rooms would have | 0:34:02 | 0:34:06 | |
looked around about 1880. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
The occupants at this time were paying a rent, so they went | 0:34:09 | 0:34:14 | |
completely destitute, but they were that sort of lower middle-class | 0:34:14 | 0:34:19 | |
type who fell in the limbo between being a master and a servant. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:25 | |
School mistresses, retired nannies, | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
that sort of occupant who ticked the box when it came to being | 0:34:28 | 0:34:33 | |
of good, sound standing but yet hadn't got an enormous amount of cash. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:39 | |
They came with their own house furnishings, | 0:34:39 | 0:34:42 | |
hence what's in this room reflects what a person of that standing | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
might have had about them in 1880. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:50 | |
But everything happened in this room, you did your bit | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
of cookery at this hob grate, or, more likely, had food sent into you. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:59 | |
You slept in this room and you did your ablutions | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
in that little closet on the side. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
Well, Robert Geffrye sure knew how to spend his money well. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
The big question today is, | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
will our teams' investments hold up well over at the auction? | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
Well, we've trotted down to Lincoln Fair today | 0:35:28 | 0:35:32 | |
and it's a rare treat to be with Colin Young in the saleroom here. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
Thank you very much for having us. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
-No, good to have you back here, Tim. -Now, Malcolm and Gregory went with the aeroplane cruit. -Yup. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:43 | |
It's chromium plated, I suppose it's '60s, '70s, something like that. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
There is not a lot you can say about that, really, is there? | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
Will it take off, though? | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
-It should do, but I think it's going to be flying fairly low. -How low? | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
-Well, maybe £25-£40. -OK, that's fair enough. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
£21 they paid, I think you're going to be jolly lucky to get more than £20 for that. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
Now, a Gloster Javelin Dinky toy in its box. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
Good thing, the condition of the paintwork is good. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
The box is not too bad, so, £20-£40 is my estimate. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:10 | |
There is a bit of a renaissance in Dinky Toys, isn't there? | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
Compared to five or ten years ago. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:15 | |
Yeah, absolutely, I mean, the market for the last | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
couple of years has been very, very strong for these. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
You said £20-£30, they paid £35, | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
-they might just scrape that, might they? -Yeah. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
We've got the quintessentially typical | 0:36:23 | 0:36:26 | |
piece of early 18th century ceramics, the tin-glazed plate. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:31 | |
Do you think it's English? | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
I do actually, yes. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:34 | |
It doesn't have that look of being continental, | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
whether Dutch or otherwise. I think it probably is an English one. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
Date-wise, 1760, 1770. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
Well, Charles Hanson's very, very positive about English ceramics. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:46 | |
He talks about buying a bit of history and a proper antique | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
and all this business. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:50 | |
How is this tin-glazed plate going to do? | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
It's only going to do £80-£120, as it would anywhere else in the country. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
Well, they paid £109, which may be difficult | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
and in fact, there are several difficulties in the items they bought, | 0:37:01 | 0:37:06 | |
in which case, the excitement may come from the bonus buys, | 0:37:06 | 0:37:10 | |
so, let's go and have a look at them. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
Now, Malcolm, Gregory. This is jolly, isn't it? | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
First up is Charles with the team's bonus buy. You gave him £135. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:20 | |
Charles, what did you find? | 0:37:20 | 0:37:21 | |
Yeah, and I wanted to fly high for you guys. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
I wanted to really hit those dizzy heights and impress you, | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
but instead of air, I went to water | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
and bought something with a maritime feel. What do you think, Malcolm? | 0:37:29 | 0:37:33 | |
Just look at that. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:34 | |
-I daren't touch it. -No. Greg, have a handle. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
There we are. This is a wonderful jug. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:38 | |
It will date to probably around 1800, 1810. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:42 | |
It's transfer printed and enamelled. It's not in the best of condition. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
-Bit cracked. -Yeah, it is cracked. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
We like jugs, though, so they're good. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
-It's hideous. -But look at the marbling of the pink lustre. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
-It's not... -Not for you? -Not on my sideboard. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
-OK, well, you need to find out how much he spent. -It only cost me £100. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
Only? | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
Did you say only there? | 0:38:03 | 0:38:04 | |
OK, well, on that basis, you've got to ask him how much profit it's... | 0:38:04 | 0:38:10 | |
-How much do you think it'll fly for? -I don't know yet. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
I don't know. The heart sometimes rules the mind, | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
but it might make a bit more than £100, but it might not. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
-So, it's a real gamble, then? -It's a real gamble, big time | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
because I just love it, Malcolm. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
But what does Colin the auctioneer | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
think about the Red team's bonus buy? | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
OK, now, there we go. What do you think about the Sunderland jug? | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
-Well, that's a jug and a half, isn't it? -Good size. -Yeah, it is. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
Good thing. You've got this mixture of the transfer printing of all of | 0:38:35 | 0:38:38 | |
the background and all this sponging and the purple lustre as well. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
Again, very much a trademark from the Sunderland factory. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
A perfect one of these, £150, £200, that sort of range, easily. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
But, we've got a very long crack that covers most of the body. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:53 | |
-We go inside and there's another crack. -Yeah, I'm feeling depressed. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
All's not lost, though. We do have an estimate on it. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
-Oh, do you? Oh, good. Now, encourage me. -£30 to £50, Tim. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
-Oh, I'm feeling depressed again. -Oh, why? -Well, Charles paid £100. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:06 | |
To wit, you're estimating £30 to £50. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
Now, time to see what the Reds think about Carlos' Tim's Ton purchase. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:14 | |
You had £100. Reveal all. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:18 | |
People sometimes call these Battersea, | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
but we call them Bilston, and this is pink, Malcolm. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:23 | |
You've got an obsession for pink, haven't you? | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
Well, this, Greg, is a very nice Bilston enamel | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
Wolverhampton, West Midland-made patch box, or even snuff box, | 0:39:29 | 0:39:34 | |
and you open it up like so, and it's just full of 18th-century charm. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:38 | |
There's pompadour pink grounds, inspired by the French. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:41 | |
This box would date to around 1780, | 0:39:41 | 0:39:44 | |
and the reason I like this box is because condition is important | 0:39:44 | 0:39:49 | |
with enamel on copper and this box is in amazing condition. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
-It's quite heavy. -It suits you. Yeah, do you like it? | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
-I don't like the colour, but I do like boxes. -Good. -How much? | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
Yeah, how much do you reckon this is worth? | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
How much did he spend? | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
-£100. -£100. -It cost me £100. -How much do you reckon it's worth? | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
It could very easily, hand on heart, make £50, | 0:40:06 | 0:40:10 | |
but sometimes you've got to rejoice at the antique. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
-And would it be a ladies' snuffbox? -Well, ladies did take snuff, yes. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
Yes, I'd have thought so. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:18 | |
But also the gentlemen were rather more in touch | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
with their feminine side, I think. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
The dandy of the day, you see? | 0:40:23 | 0:40:24 | |
And he would perfectly happily think that pink is divine | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
and would wear the most outrageous clothes. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
I mean, he'd wear a waistcoat and a bow-tie. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
And pink trousers and all the rest of it, and he would not give | 0:40:34 | 0:40:38 | |
a monkey's what anybody thought about this strutting around. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:41 | |
He'd have multicoloured glasses and different coloured strings | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
and all that kind of thing, and that would just be it. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
So, do you want to buy this? | 0:40:46 | 0:40:48 | |
You are a salesman, Gregoire. Anyway, we happy, team? Yes? | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
-Very happy. -Happy with that? You've got the lowdown. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
Right. What does Colin think about the Reds' Tim's Ton? | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
Of course, for this special programme, there's Tim's Ton, | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
that's the £100 extra bonus buy, and that's what Charles found | 0:41:02 | 0:41:07 | |
to spend the £100 on, and he did spend the whole of the £100. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:12 | |
It doesn't quite look £100 to me, but I suppose as estimate of | 0:41:12 | 0:41:16 | |
£50 to £80 would be appropriate on that, and can he get his £100 back? | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
-Yeah, I think anything's possible. -OK, fine. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
Well, I had to make my prediction | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
as to which I thought was going to make, in proportion, | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
the biggest profit, and as they're both £100, | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
it's not difficult to do the proportional bit, | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
and I went with the enamel box, cos it is in good condition | 0:41:32 | 0:41:36 | |
and I don't things that have got cracks and all the rest of it. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
And I sincerely hope that that will bring between £100 and £150 | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
and then we'll feel well and truly vindicated in this little game. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
First up is the retro chromium plated standard lamp | 0:41:50 | 0:41:54 | |
which takes you back to a groovy age. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
-Circa 1967, I would imagine. -You reckon? | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
I have to say, I do quite like it. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
A modern flat could take it perfectly well. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
I think it still works in modern design as well. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
OK, and how much do they want them, Colin? | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
I think £30 to £50 would be an appropriate estimate. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:11 | |
Very good, cos it was bought for £24 retail, so that's good. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
-That's not bad. -Next is this West German vase. Do you like that? | 0:42:14 | 0:42:19 | |
Not a lot, it has to be said. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:20 | |
I don't think I've ever seen one of them go through and make a profit. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:24 | |
-No, well, it's all down to a price point, really. -Yeah. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
£15 was the price point for this. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
I must admit, I just get the feeling | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
that this type of ware is maybe a little bit over-hyped | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
as to its desirability | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
-and then when you come to sales, the reality soon hits. -OK. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
So, what's the realistic estimate? | 0:42:39 | 0:42:40 | |
I've put £10 to £20, because that's | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
our lowest estimate that we can publish. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
Well, on that basis, we won't prod any more. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:46 | |
And, last of all, we've got the Ferranti roundabout clock. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
-I like that. -You like it? -I do, it's a lot better than the previous lot. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:53 | |
OK, fine. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:54 | |
Nice little bit of oak, nice design by Ferranti, so £25 to £40. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:58 | |
Very good, well, Paul Laidlaw found that and he paid £7. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
I don't think they're going to make any large losses, | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
in which case they may not need their bonus buys, | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
but let's go and have a look at them anyway, shall we? | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
'Oh, and Lena has a new look.' | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
Now, Jerry, Lena, this is exciting. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:16 | |
Double bonus buy time. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
First is the team's bonus buy. You only spent £46. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:22 | |
You gave Paul Laidlaw £254 to spend. So, Paul, what did you buy? | 0:43:22 | 0:43:28 | |
-This... -Oh, my God. -Wow. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
-I love it. -You love? -Yeah, we were looking for glass. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
I don't know what it is. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:36 | |
It's like, are you going to drink out of both things? | 0:43:36 | 0:43:40 | |
Well, they're termed gimmel flasks, | 0:43:40 | 0:43:43 | |
and in this instance we have a double gimmel flask. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:46 | |
The trail decoration is associated with Nailsea at Bristol. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:50 | |
Date-wise, well, what we didn't buy when we went out was an antique. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:54 | |
-Yeah. -You didn't buy much, actually. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:56 | |
I've solved that problem because we've now got an antique, | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
-because that will date to the second quarter of the 19th-century. -Wow. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
-If I told you it was £25... -Oh, I love you. -Which is crazy money... | 0:44:04 | 0:44:10 | |
And I love this. Let's check it out. You really bought it for £25? | 0:44:10 | 0:44:14 | |
-That was £25. -So, what would they use this for? | 0:44:14 | 0:44:17 | |
I'm trying to figure out what to do with that. The shape and... | 0:44:17 | 0:44:20 | |
I don't get it. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:22 | |
This is a pretty object to buy as a gift. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
-Therein, you would have cordials, liqueurs... -We can use it as a vase. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:30 | |
-Two flowers. -You could use it as a vase, why not? I mean, there you go. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:34 | |
You can use it for whatever you like, and for £25, it's £25. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:38 | |
What do you think it's going to make? | 0:44:38 | 0:44:39 | |
Even if it is market, that should be £30 to £50 worth, | 0:44:39 | 0:44:41 | |
so you could double your money on that. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
-Yeah. -All right. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |
Now, Colin. Do you like the Blue team's bonus buy? | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
So, Colin. The team's bonus buy is the Nailsea double flask. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:53 | |
-Do you like that? -I do. That's rather nice. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:57 | |
19th-century. Condition looks to be pretty good all the way through. | 0:44:57 | 0:45:01 | |
I think in that sort of condition, we've got to be £50 to £80 for it. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:04 | |
Oh, brilliant. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:05 | |
Man, £25 paid, so, if the team go with the team's bonus buy, | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
they'll do rather well. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
Time to see what the Blues make of their Tim's Ton. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:14 | |
-This one's for you. -Oh. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:16 | |
Now... | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
-Pretty uninspiring, perhaps. -Spectacles? -But, getting there. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:24 | |
-Military? -Military, definitely. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:25 | |
This is First World War, German, and these are Fernglas 08, | 0:45:25 | 0:45:29 | |
one of the standard army issue binoculars used by imperial | 0:45:29 | 0:45:33 | |
German forces during the First World War. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:35 | |
The binoculars are reasonably common. These turn up. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:38 | |
Cases do not, because, of course, this is perishable. They rot. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:41 | |
-That's the right case for it. -This is, well, there you have it. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:44 | |
All the instructions for use. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
-Wow. -Yeah. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:47 | |
And made by Carl Zeiss of Vienna, pre-eminent, to this day, | 0:45:47 | 0:45:52 | |
manufacturers of lenses and optical equipment. | 0:45:52 | 0:45:54 | |
-So, give us the lowdown, then. -I spent half of the budget. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:57 | |
-That cost me £50. -OK. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
I've seen those north of £80 at auction when they're in a good case. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:05 | |
-I think you should be in safe territory. -Wow. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
I didn't like it at first, to be perfectly honest, like, | 0:46:08 | 0:46:10 | |
"Oh, my God. What is it?" But, now, after hearing the story, I'm like, | 0:46:10 | 0:46:13 | |
"All right, then. That's all good." | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
And what does our lovely auctioneer think of this Tim's Ton? | 0:46:16 | 0:46:20 | |
As you might expect, | 0:46:20 | 0:46:21 | |
Paul Laidlaw has gone with a World War I collectible, the binoculars. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:25 | |
How do you rate those, Colin? | 0:46:25 | 0:46:27 | |
I think, in that sort of condition, original case, | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
that's got on be a good £30 to £50, I would've thought. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:33 | |
OK, well, £50 paid by the Laidlaw, | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
and I'm my prediction as to which is going to be Wonnacott's winner, | 0:46:35 | 0:46:39 | |
which of these two might do better than the other, I've trusted Paul. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:44 | |
I think that if there's something special about these glasses, | 0:46:44 | 0:46:47 | |
then that's why he's gone with them, and therefore, | 0:46:47 | 0:46:50 | |
even though I know nothing about World War I field glasses, | 0:46:50 | 0:46:54 | |
I'm supporting my man. I'm going with the man not the ball. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:57 | |
-All right? -Yup. -Can you see a profit? | 0:46:57 | 0:46:59 | |
-I can, I can see a profit right in the horizon. -Can you? | 0:46:59 | 0:47:02 | |
-Yeah, I think you'll be fine. -Oh, do you? Well, that's nice. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
You always were a visionary, Colin. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:07 | |
Now, time to put that vision to the test. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
Malcolm, Gregory, how you feeling? | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
-Hmm. -Feeling cool? -Feeling cool, yeah, that's not too bad. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:19 | |
-All right, fine. -I'm feeling like miracles can happen today. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:22 | |
-OK, you've got that miracle moment? -Yeah. -We're going to need it. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:24 | |
Well, we want you to be flying high with this, so, | 0:47:24 | 0:47:27 | |
the aeroplane cruet set, he's put £25 to £40 on it. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:31 | |
You paid £21, so he's predicting a profit. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
Which is cool. And here we go. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
Chrome-plated aeroplane cruet set this time, | 0:47:35 | 0:47:38 | |
lot of commission bids on this. They start at £10 bid. 10, 12, 12 bid. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
15 bid. 18, 18 bid. 20 bid. 22 now. With you. 22 do I see? | 0:47:42 | 0:47:47 | |
22, 25, 28, 28? Bid 30. 32 now, 32. 35, 38, bid 40, 42? | 0:47:47 | 0:47:52 | |
£40, standing big, at 40. At 42 is the last call. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:57 | |
It's a good looking lot. At 40. All done and finished at £40. | 0:47:57 | 0:48:02 | |
Plus £19, lads. Plus £19. Like shelling peas. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:08 | |
Now, here comes the Javelin. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:10 | |
The Gloucester Javelin. It's also got its box to go with it as well. | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
£30, anybody? 30. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:16 | |
20, if you like, then. £20, anybody? 20. | 0:48:16 | 0:48:18 | |
Well, I'll go to all my commission bids then, | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
which start at 12 bid, 15 bid, 18 bid. At 18 bid, 20. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:24 | |
Ought to be a fraction more than this, surely. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:26 | |
At 18 bid, any more now at 18, for the Gloucester Javelin? | 0:48:26 | 0:48:29 | |
Selling, then, at £18. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:32 | |
That is minus £17, which means overall, you are plus two. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:38 | |
Look out, lads. Now, here comes the plate. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
English Delft plate, there we go. Very nice piece of Delft. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:44 | |
-Who's going to start me at 150 for it? 150. -It's a really good plate. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:48 | |
Start at £100 for it. 100. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:50 | |

Let's go! Make a name! | 0:49:17 | 0:49:19 | |
Last call at 110, 15 I'm asking. Selling at £110. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:22 | |
Listen, you've got a pound. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
You had the £2 profit before, you've got plus three! | 0:49:24 | 0:49:27 | |
Now, what are you going to do? | 0:49:29 | 0:49:30 | |
You going to do the Sunderland pottery jug for £100 | 0:49:30 | 0:49:33 | |
or are you going to do the patch box for £100? | 0:49:33 | 0:49:35 | |
-We'll go for the pink box. -You going to do it? -Yeah. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:37 | |
You're going to go with the pink box? OK, great. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
This is your choice. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:41 | |
First, though, we're going to sell the rejected bonus buy, | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
that's the team's bonus buy, just to see what happens, | 0:49:44 | 0:49:47 | |
and then we're going to move on to Tim's Ton, the extra bonus buy. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:51 | |
First up, though, is the team's bonus buy which has been rejected | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
but let's see what it makes. Here it comes. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
Early 19th-century Sunderland lustre pottery jug. | 0:49:56 | 0:49:59 | |
There we go, very sizeable one, this. 22cm high. £50, anyone? 50? | 0:49:59 | 0:50:04 | |
40 to go then, surely. £40. | 0:50:04 | 0:50:06 | |
Highlighting 19th-century industry there. 40. £40 big, thank you. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:11 | |

And 5, now at 65, I'll take 5. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:21 | |
It's on the book, I'm selling this time then at £60. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:24 | |
£60 is minus £40 and you rejected it, | 0:50:24 | 0:50:27 | |
so what the difference, but there we go. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:30 | |
This is the 18-century Bilston Staffordshire enamel patch box, | 0:50:30 | 0:50:34 | |
nicely decorated, this one. Start me at 50, 30, who's first at 30? | 0:50:34 | 0:50:39 | |
£30 bid. At 30, bid from Australia, 35. 40 surely. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:43 | |

I knew there should be something there. Gut instinct. 70, 75. | 0:51:01 | 0:51:04 | |
It's a gorgeous box in exquisite condition. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:06 | |
75 bid, back in the room, at 75. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:09 | |
At 75, 78 is a last call, offer of a mate. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:11 | |
At £75 in the middle of the room there. I'm selling at £75. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:16 | |
75 is minus 25 which means overall, you are minus 22. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:23 | |
That's a disappointing result, chaps. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:26 | |
-Everybody happy? -Indeed. -Yeah. -Indeed. | 0:51:26 | 0:51:27 | |
OK, say not a word to the Blues, and that could be a winning score, | 0:51:27 | 0:51:31 | |
very easily, minus 22. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:33 | |
95 in the room, at 95... | 0:51:33 | 0:51:36 | |
-Jerry, Lena, do you know how the Reds got on? -I have no clue. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:46 | |
Good. You've got the retro lamp standard which you spent £24 on. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:49 | |
£30 to £50 is his estimate. He loves it too. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:53 | |
-So that's cool. -Yes! | 0:51:53 | 0:51:54 | |
And here it comes. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:55 | |
There we go, retro standard lamp, great looking thing. Start me at £50. | 0:51:55 | 0:51:58 | |
20 to go then, £20, who's first in at 20? 10, if you like. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:02 | |

-Come on, the net. -35, 38. 38, bid 40 now. 38, bid 40, do I see? | 0:52:20 | 0:52:25 | |

45. 45, 48, they've obviously done a switch of foot. | 0:52:30 | 0:52:34 | |
-You've doubled your money. -Yes! | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
48, more than one bidder on here, 48, all done at £48. And 50, fresh blood. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:41 | |
55, now, do I see? 55? Bid 60, 60 and 5 there. 65, surely. 65 do I see? | 0:52:41 | 0:52:48 | |
It's a great looking thing. 65. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:50 | |
At £60 in the middle of the room, then, | 0:52:50 | 0:52:52 | |
last call from anywhere else, and sold. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:55 | |
£60, that is remarkable. | 0:52:55 | 0:52:59 | |
So, that is plus £36. | 0:52:59 | 0:53:01 | |
Here we go with the German vase. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:04 | |
Scheurich Keramik vase. Who's going to start me at £40. £40, anybody? 40. | 0:53:04 | 0:53:09 | |
-Come on. -£40. Are you sure? OK. We'll knock a digit off then. | 0:53:09 | 0:53:13 | |
Who's going to start me at four? | 0:53:13 | 0:53:14 | |

It's your last chance to buy this very nice vase. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:34 | |
No, gentleman's bid, selling at £20. | 0:53:34 | 0:53:36 | |
£20 is plus £5, well done, team. Now, the Ferranti roundabout clock. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:40 | |
What shall we say for this one? Start me at £50 for it. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
50, nice bit of oak there, Ferranti as well with the Bakelite on it. £50. | 0:53:42 | 0:53:47 | |

At £22. Nope? Selling, then, at £22, all done. | 0:54:03 | 0:54:07 | |
That's £15. That is so cool. £15. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:12 | |
What do reckon to that, eh? | 0:54:12 | 0:54:14 | |
So, £20, you're plus £56. | 0:54:14 | 0:54:16 | |
Now, what are we going to do about the bonus buys? | 0:54:16 | 0:54:19 | |
You've got the gimmel flask, right? The gimmel flask cost £25. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:22 | |
Then you've got the Tim's Ton, £100 he had. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:25 | |
He spent £50 and bought the World War I glasses, and the rare case. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:29 | |
-Do you think you're going to go with either or? -Oh, yeah. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:31 | |
For sure, we're going to go with... I want both, I love both. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
Well, you can't have both. | 0:54:34 | 0:54:36 | |
You have to have one or the other. | 0:54:36 | 0:54:37 | |
-Binoculars? -You paid £50 for the binoculars. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:40 | |
Pleasure doing business with you. Binoculars it is. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:42 | |
-You're going to go with the binoculars? -Yeah. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:44 | |
OK, fine, but we're going to sell the gimmel flask anyway. | 0:54:44 | 0:54:47 | |
It's going to come up first. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:48 | |
So whether it makes a profit or a loss makes no difference to you | 0:54:48 | 0:54:51 | |
cos it's not your pick, but let's see what happens. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:53 | |
The Nailsea double gimmel flask, start me at £50 for it. £50, anybody? | 0:54:53 | 0:54:57 | |
50, a low start there. And you should find them in good order. | 0:54:57 | 0:55:00 | |
I'll take 30 if we've got to start low. 30 with you, 32, 35, 5 bid. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:03 | |
40 now, 38, 40, 40 bid, 42, 42 now, 42 do I see? 42, 45, 48, no, 45. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:12 | |
£25 paid. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:14 | |
Surely at 45, are we all done now? At £45. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
45 is plus £20, well done, Paul. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
Plus 20, but it's sadly not going our way. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:23 | |
But that profit will be going to charity. | 0:55:23 | 0:55:26 | |
Next up, it's the binoculars. | 0:55:26 | 0:55:28 | |
This is the Fernglas 08 binoculars, | 0:55:28 | 0:55:30 | |
this time with the leather case to go with it as well. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:33 | |
Start it really cheap, then. £50, anybody, 50? | 0:55:33 | 0:55:35 | |
30. | 0:55:35 | 0:55:37 | |
£30, who's coming in first at £30? | 0:55:37 | 0:55:40 | |
£20 to go then. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:42 | |
£20 over there. 5 now, do I see? At 20 bid. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:44 | |
25 from anywhere else now? 20, I'll take 2 on the net. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
We'll just roll on. 22, 25, 5 bid, 28, 28 bid, 30, 30 bid, 32. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:51 | |
Come on. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:52 | |
35, 35, 38 now, 38 bid, 40, 40 bid, 42, 45, 45, 48. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:58 | |
-Now we've got somebody into it. -Come on. | 0:55:58 | 0:56:00 | |
48, surely. Make no mistake, at £45, all done. Selling at £45. | 0:56:00 | 0:56:05 | |
£45 is minus £5, which means you guys are plus £51. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:12 | |
-No shame in that. -Not at all. -Well done. | 0:56:12 | 0:56:14 | |
Plus £51, that's marvellous. Could be a winning score. | 0:56:14 | 0:56:18 | |
Oh, isn't that sweet? | 0:56:18 | 0:56:19 | |
You'll have to do it again now, cos they need a close-up. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:22 | |
-Oh, there's a close-up. -Good job. -Let's not get too carried away. | 0:56:22 | 0:56:26 | |
Anyway, should be a winning score. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:28 | |
Don't say a word to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment. | 0:56:28 | 0:56:31 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thank you. -Thank you, Lena. Thank you, Gerry. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:34 | |
12 bid, 15 bid... | 0:56:35 | 0:56:37 | |
Well, well, well. | 0:56:44 | 0:56:45 | |
Pilots versus skydivers, eh? | 0:56:46 | 0:56:49 | |
Awful lot of competition going on here. | 0:56:49 | 0:56:51 | |
A lot riding on this when it comes to reputations, right, lads? | 0:56:51 | 0:56:54 | |
Very much so. | 0:56:54 | 0:56:55 | |
Have you been chatting about the scores, you Reds and Blues? | 0:56:55 | 0:56:58 | |
-No. -Not been chatting about the score? OK, fine. | 0:56:58 | 0:57:00 | |
So, it will come as a complete surprise | 0:57:00 | 0:57:03 | |
because we're about to come in to land | 0:57:03 | 0:57:05 | |
and the team that is behind, only marginally, are the Reds. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:10 | |
Aw! | 0:57:10 | 0:57:12 | |
-Started out so beautifully, pilots, didn't it? -Yes. -But there we are. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:16 | |
We're either sportsmen and we're British and we walk tall, | 0:57:16 | 0:57:18 | |
in which case we're very, very happy with whatever life throws at us. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
-Is that the case? -That's it, yeah. -Not really. | 0:57:21 | 0:57:25 | |
No, actually you've been great players, and thank you very much. | 0:57:25 | 0:57:28 | |
It is disappointing sometimes. The spin of the dice with all of this. | 0:57:28 | 0:57:31 | |
Anyway, you've been brilliant. | 0:57:31 | 0:57:33 | |
Thank you very much for coming | 0:57:33 | 0:57:34 | |
and playing on our special programme, but the victors today, | 0:57:34 | 0:57:37 | |
who are going home with folding cash, they're going home with £51. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:41 | |
There we go, guys. £51. | 0:57:41 | 0:57:44 | |
You got three profits in a row, earns you the right to join | 0:57:44 | 0:57:48 | |
the ancient order of the Golden Gavellers. | 0:57:48 | 0:57:51 | |
So, it's a great pleasure for me to give you your little badge | 0:57:51 | 0:57:54 | |
to wear with pride next time you go up in the sky. | 0:57:54 | 0:57:57 | |
I expect to see this falling to the ground very, very quickly. | 0:57:57 | 0:58:01 | |
-Anyway, good fun, hey? -Yes, very much. -Well, very much for us. | 0:58:01 | 0:58:05 | |
The only thing that you failed to do was to spot the correct bonus buy. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:10 | |
And in fact, the team's bonus buy was the one that made | 0:58:10 | 0:58:13 | |
the £20 profit, the £20 that I've got here. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
That profit will be donated to charity in due course. | 0:58:16 | 0:58:19 | |
So, Paul, congratulations on a great find there. A profitable find. | 0:58:19 | 0:58:23 | |
Sadly, you didn't pick it. At least, the team didn't pick it, | 0:58:23 | 0:58:25 | |
but nevertheless, the profit is the profit | 0:58:25 | 0:58:27 | |
and that will go to charity, so thank you very much, Paul. | 0:58:27 | 0:58:30 | |
In fact, it's a win-win-win situation today. | 0:58:30 | 0:58:32 | |
Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? | 0:58:32 | 0:58:35 | |
ALL: Yeah! | 0:58:35 | 0:58:36 |
