0:00:02 > 0:00:05We've got a dancing theme on today's programme,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09and, of course, there are a lot of similarities between dancing and
0:00:09 > 0:00:13antiques, from fandango to filigree,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16and vesta case to Viennese waltz.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19So, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Today's show is a bumper one-hour long.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50In fact, it's so jam-packed with fun,
0:00:50 > 0:00:55we've had to especially choreograph it to get everything in.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Anyway, as a preview, why don't we take a quick sashay into the show?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06The Reds fancy themselves as movers and shakers...
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Jazz hands!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12..but will it be the Blues who waltz off with the spoils?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16So, let's meet our teams.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Well, we've got some top troopers on the show today.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23For the Reds, we've got newly married couple, Sarah and Ed,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and for the Blues, we have great friends, Tracy and Paul.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Hello, hello. Now, you're newly wed.- We are.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31How recently wed are you?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Literally two weeks.- Really? Well, congratulations.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Thank you.- That's so marvellous.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And the romance has been perpetrated by dance?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I've obviously always loved dance and I teach dance,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44but Ed has luckily shared the passion.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48When we're out dancing, he doesn't seem to be too intimidated.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Because you're learning your moves, isn't it?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54And being confident with your partner, I guess.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- You have a particular love for the Charleston.- Yes, that's right.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Why is that?- I just like the essence of the style, it's really bouncy,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04it's really cheeky, it's very stylised.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07You don't actually have to be a fantastic dancer.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- No.- There's lots of tapping your feet, kicking your legs,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13swinging your arms. So, yeah, it's not too sophisticated.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I mean, they didn't call them flappers for nothing, did they?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18They flapped about a bit.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Now, Ed, hooking up with Sarah has led you a merry dance,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23hasn't it, but in a good way?
0:02:23 > 0:02:29Yes. I was in a ballroom and Latin dance group before I met Sarah.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I've always been keen on dancing, but when I met Sarah,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36we've sort of evolved and she's got me into the Charleston,
0:02:36 > 0:02:41which is... Like Sarah says, it's good fun, and bouncy and jolly.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Just like you two? That's lovely.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Now, what do you know about antiques between you? Anything or nothing?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52This is when the truth comes out. Not that much. Not really.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I'll be looking out for some furniture, maybe some lamps,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- jewellery and perhaps some vintage clothing as well.- What about you, Ed?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Not going to be a big spender today, I don't think. We're going to go for
0:03:03 > 0:03:05the small buys, but big profits.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Small buys and big profits, well, there's an ambition.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, well, good luck with that.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Now, Tracy, it says here that you're just dippy about dancing,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- is that right?- It is, yes. I'm very passionate about it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Why is that?- I just feel really good when I dance.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- It takes your mind off the stresses of the day.- And do you teach it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- I do, yes. - What's your favourite dance?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I suppose, personally, I'd say the Viennese waltz.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And that's pretty complicated to dance, isn't it?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It is difficult to make it look effortless.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And are antiques in your blood, Tracy?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Yes, my godmother owned an antique shop in Newport, Shropshire.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44She had a house full of antiques.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- So, that's going to help you today, we hope.- Oh, hopefully.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Now, Paul, it says here that you're a true thoroughbred
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- of the dance floor.- I am. - Is that true?- It is.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Over the years, I've been very fortunate
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and I've danced in major finals at Blackpool Dance Festival,
0:04:00 > 0:04:07which is very famous, as a juvenile, junior, amateur and professional.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Gosh...- I made finals in each. - Have you?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- So, how long have you been dancing for?- I've been dancing 50 years.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Have you? You started as a nipper? - I did.- About two?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- When I was 10 years old. - How sweet.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- And what are your favourite dances? - As a teacher, you don't really have a favourite dance,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27because you try and keep a good level in all the dances, but,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30just recently, in recent years, I have been enjoying Argentine tango.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Have you? Good.- Yes.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Now, what sort of things are you going to be buying on
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Bargain Hunt today, with your £300?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39My plan is to buy big and cheap, and sell high.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42OK, fine. Brilliant. And Tracy?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47I think I would look for things that might interest the locals in Malvern.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Right, so you're buying strategically, very interesting.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- Now, the £300 moment. Here's your £300.- Thank you.- You know the rules.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Your experts await, and off you go.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Or should I say, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Live long and prosper, as Mr Spock would say.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Helping the Reds do just that is Christina Trevanion.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And hoping to turn a profit with the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19You guys, you guys, this is lovely, this is really lovely,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- but we've got buying to do! Come on, honestly!- OK, all right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27ALL: A one, a two, a three, a four...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- What do you reckon, do you think I've got potential?- Yeah!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- So, what are we looking for?- OK...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Well, I wouldn't mind looking out for some Art Deco pieces,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- just because I think there is a real trend for the vintage.- Yes, I agree.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Horsey things.- And possibly Worcester, something from Malvern.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Yeah, because your Worcester-based, aren't you?- Yes, we are. - So you know the area.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- And what about you, Paul? - Automobilia.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- You're a bit of a petrol head, aren't you?- Just a bit.- OK.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Let's do it.- Yeah.- Let's go.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- We've got our plan, are we going to stick to it?- Yes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Well, I don't know about that. - Come on.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Take to the ballroom, teams.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Oh, we've got a lot of wheels around here, haven't we?- We have.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What have we got here? We've got a pair of chairs.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16These probably would have been part of a set, originally.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I think they'd need to be re-upholstered. We've got this
0:06:19 > 0:06:21lovely terracotta, russety material,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- but it's not to everyone's taste.- No.- They are pretty,
0:06:24 > 0:06:25but the first thing we need to do,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29as with everything, apart from maybe me, is turn it upside down.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32So, let's have a look at its bottom.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, we've got a sprung seat in here, which tells us that it's
0:06:35 > 0:06:37probably 1930s, something like that.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40So, it's a bit later than perhaps it looks. Initially, you think
0:06:40 > 0:06:43maybe it's a Victorian salon suite. Very nice. We've got a little bit of
0:06:43 > 0:06:46woodworm here. They are pieces with issues.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Character might not be enough here.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Technically termed as a project. Project piece. Are these yours?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- They are, they're mine.- Brilliant.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57And is that the rest of the suite up there?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- How many pieces have we got?- There's four chairs and one two-seater.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Four chairs and one two-seater. And how much have you got on the set?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- 500.- 500, which is instantly over our budget.- Yeah...
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Ouch, time for a sharp exit, stage left. Meanwhile...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Oh, that's unusual. - It's a Russian clock.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Paul has come across a Cold War classic.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And it's got a... what's-its-name base.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Sort of Bakelite. - Yeah, it's like Bakelite, isn't it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Made in the USSR, Majak clock.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yeah, it's pretty heavy, isn't it?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33It's very heavy. Moulded glass, as opposed to cut class.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I don't like the fact it's a bit rusty around here.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- I think it's probably '80s in date. What would you say?- You reckon?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I would think '50s.- Would you? - Because of the engineering.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50- '50s or '60s, I mean, I'm guessing. - You like clocks?- Yes.- Mm-hm.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52What do you think of this, Tracy?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- It's different... But I...- It's not beautiful.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59No, I probably wouldn't have it on my dressing table.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, let's find out how much it is. How much is it?
0:08:01 > 0:08:0345...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05What would you pay for it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Maximum of about 25.- Right. That's OK.- That's my own personal position.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- It's a thought.- Yeah, yeah, it is.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Sorry, Paul, the girls are not taken with the timepiece.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Over with the Reds, it's shades of the jazz age.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- What do you think of the chandelier? - I love it. It's all Gatsby to me.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It's very Gatsby, isn't it? Great Gatsby, very glitzy,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28very cool.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I think people would be drawn to this at the auction. It's just...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Can we get it for the right price?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36What have you got on your chandelier, darling?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- '250.'- £250.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- Gosh.- That is a lot.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43That is a lot...a lot of our budget.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It may be light fantastic, Reds, but is it £250 worth?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49They do sell, but they don't sell brilliantly, brilliantly well,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53unless they are very, very antique. And that's got some age to it,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- but it doesn't have a huge amount of age to it.- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- So, I think it's too much of a risk for this early stage.- I agree.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Too vintage inspired. OK, move on, team.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Good decision.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08Now, you know what they say, where there's muck, there's brass.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'm not sure about this metalwork, though.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14It's funny, isn't it? It's got a funny finish to it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16It's not the most beautifully made.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Well, I think it's brass,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21but it's been soldered together in various places.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Bit a fun, though. What's the price? 24.- £24?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26SHE TOOTS THE HORN
0:09:28 > 0:09:30On that note, how are the Reds getting on?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33So...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What's this, let's have a little look.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39So, it's a little buckle...a nurse's buckle, they do use them for...
0:09:39 > 0:09:43It's really rather sweet. It's got these lovely sort of birds here in the corners
0:09:43 > 0:09:44and then the floral detail.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47There is the full hallmark on there, although...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I know it's a Birmingham hallmark, not an early, early one.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It looks like it's more sort of the 1920s by the hallmark,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56as opposed to Victorian or earlier. But it's still really rather sweet.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- It is.- And it's great to have the two parts to it.- Yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- It's useful, isn't it?- Yeah, exactly.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- What's your best price on that, please?- 45.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Oh, no. That's too, that's... - £40, then.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09What do you want to do, guys?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- I'm not convinced.- Not convinced. There are buckle collectors.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Yeah...- It's solid silver.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I think we should come back if we need to.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yep. Are you sure?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- It's going to take us ages to get back up here.- I think...
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I think you stand a good chance of making a bit of a profit on that.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- 40 quid, I think it's nice. - It is nice, yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32If we make a fiver, I would be...
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- OK. All right, then.- And then we've got one done, and we can relax.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- We're done.- No, we're not done, we've got two more to buy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Brilliant. £40, shake the man's hand. Done.- Done.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45One down for the Reds, meanwhile,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Kate has found something pointy and puzzling.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Well, I've never seen one of those before. Porto vase,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- it says on it.- There's another one there.- What is that?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Right, well, it's pointed, so I think you stick it in something.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- You've got a patent number on there. - Oh, yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06And that's got a thread on it. So, I reckon you'd screw it into the side...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I don't know. I think that might be a Tim question.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Don't ask me, haven't got a clue.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14If they were to go in the ground, in a border of a garden,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16to grow something in...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Well, why not just stick something straight in the ground?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I suppose if it was something like mint,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23that could spread everywhere, you want to contain it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Would that be an idea? What do we think about these?
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Is this a potential purchase?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well, I've never seen anything like that before.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's not terribly ornate, is it?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35We got a little bit of damage, we've got a crack on this one.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- And a chip on that one. - Which I don't like.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It might appeal, if we could get them at a, you know,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43very reasonable price.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Mm, well, you have a little look, I'll just have a little chat.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50This should be interesting, because no-one seems to know
0:11:50 > 0:11:52what they are, or how much they're worth.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Bearing in mind they have got a little bit of damage,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57he's come down to a tenner for the two.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- What do we think?- You can't go far wrong with that.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think we ought to accept that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Would you buy one, Tracy? - I might, actually.- Would you? Great!
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Shall we do it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Well, they've bought something. But they don't know what.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It might be a journey of discovery.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Speaking of which, have you ever been to the Pacific?
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Well, if you haven't, these three objects are going to take us
0:12:20 > 0:12:22on a bit of a voyage.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25They're going to take us to Melanesia.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's the bit that's closest to Australia
0:12:28 > 0:12:32and the collecting of the artefacts that are associated with
0:12:32 > 0:12:37those people is a serious collecting field.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40In this bracelet, we've got a combination, which is
0:12:40 > 0:12:44basically a conch shell, which is the central
0:12:44 > 0:12:48round piece that's been carved and cut.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53And then, applied to that, is the tusk of a boar, which is
0:12:53 > 0:12:55a tremendous status symbol.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Very desirable.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01This piece is rare, because it's a gorget.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05A sort of breastplate that would be worn by a warrior.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Intriguingly, inside the gorget,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11we've got four teeth.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15These teeth have come from dogs, because dog's teeth,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19curiously enough, were also a form of currency.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Intriguing, really.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24And the last piece is even more fascinating.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I've never seen one before, but it's a form of
0:13:26 > 0:13:30decorative and ceremonial breast piece.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It displays a series of teeth,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35which have been cut and polished
0:13:35 > 0:13:40and then drilled and joined, so as to form a shaped panel.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43What's so great about these things
0:13:43 > 0:13:46is that they're not tourist market objects.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49They haven't been made in the last 40 or 60 years
0:13:49 > 0:13:53to entertain visiting cruise line passengers.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58I would date these three objects to be before 1900.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02I would estimate, say £1,500 to £2,000
0:14:02 > 0:14:05in an appropriate sale for the lot.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08What might they cost you out of a field?
0:14:08 > 0:14:13The three could be yours for £100 each, that's 300.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Rather cheaper than going to the Pacific, what?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Now, back with the shopping
0:14:18 > 0:14:21and our teams will go to any lengths for a bargain.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I quite like that teapot.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26It's big and bold, but I think it's quite attractive as well,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- with the blue and white. - Let's have a closer look, Tracy.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32This is a very distinctive blue and white transfer printed pattern,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34which is associated with the factory Spode.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Spode were making this kind of pottery
0:14:37 > 0:14:41in the Victorian period right through to the early 20th century.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45But let's just have a closer look at this. Hold the lid for me.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- We haven't got any factory marks at all there.- Oh, dear.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52We also haven't got any wear at all on the glaze.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53And on the earlier stuff,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56you very often get a sort of greenish colour in the glaze...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- So, basically it's pretty modern, then?- It is pretty modern.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03And the fact that you mentioned it was a transfer and it hasn't been painted on...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05No, it's definitely not painted.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08But that's not necessarily a problem.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12There are collectors of blue and white transfer printed ware,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14so, let's just ask how much it is.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- How much is this, please? - We've got it on at 55.- Right.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- What would be your rock-bottom price on that?- What do you call a good price?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25What do you call a good price? Um, I'm going to be cheeky now.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28These two lovely people here are the most amazing dancers.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And they'll give you a little twirl if you can give us a good price.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Won't you, guys?- We would. Shall we do a Viennese waltz.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Viennese waltz.- That sounds great. - On the tarmac.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Do you like your Viennese waltz, sir?- Mmm, yes. Oh, yes.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Likes a Viennese waltz.- Who doesn't? OK, guys. Take it away!
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Whoo!
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Yay!
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Fantastic. Well done. Brilliant. Now, what do you make of that?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Is that worth 25? Does the boss say, "yes"?- Thank you.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- What do you think, guys? - That's very nice.- Thank you, yeah.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Great, yeah.- Fantastic. Well done you.- Thank you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I've heard of singing for your supper but dancing for your tea?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Anyway, it's worked for the Blues. That's two items in the bag.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Time to step it up, Reds.- You guys, what do you think of these?
0:16:19 > 0:16:20These are rather fun.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I thought as a young couple, newlyweds, setting up home together.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Yeah.- Really great. I really like these.- Great storage jars here.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29So we've got baking powder, ground rice.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32They really create a nice, warm, cosy image, don't they, for you?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35And currants. Yeah, exactly, very trendy right now.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Great colour that lovely powder blue. I mean kitchenalia
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- and vintage kitchenalia is really quite popular right now.- Yeah.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44And these are even better by Bretby so, good name
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- to have on the bottom as well. - OK.- Good stuff.- So, nice things.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Have a look.- Yeah.- Let's see what...if we've got,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- because obviously these were made to be used.- Yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- So, very often you find that they've got damage on them.- Discolouration.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So, we've got some staining in there.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02But I think they make a really nice display. What do you think?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Yeah, I think we should ask.- They're quite funky.- Very definitely.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- They are.- OK. Brilliant.- Hello.- Hi.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11How much have you got on your storage gars?
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Uh, for the set, £120. - £120 for the set?- Right, OK.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Could you come down any more on that?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21If you were to take the whole set I'd do it for 85 for you.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- For the lot.- I think, can we go any less than that?- 70? Please?- No.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27£70 please?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- For the lot?- Go on, then. - Thank you, brilliant.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- She just wants to get rid of us off her stall.- Yeah, thanks.- Cheers.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- That's OK. No problem, good luck. - Thank you.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41We spent forever looking for things and suddenly it's happened.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Those negotiating skills will come in handy for our newlyweds.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Things are looking up for the Blues, too.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50With two items bought, they still have over 20 minutes
0:17:50 > 0:17:52and a sizeable chunk of cash left.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Those spoons look quite attractive.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- These ones?- Yeah. They're just enamel?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Quite expensive. They're £175, is the price, but they are beautiful.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- They are, aren't they?- It's a lot. We've got a lot of money to spend.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Let's just have a closer look. They are silver or silvergilt.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15And then enamelled. Turn them over and you can see the silvergilt.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- They are beautiful.- They've got the silvermark.- The hallmark.- Exactly.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Inside.- So, they're 1930s in date. - What would you think?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I would probably say... - 150?- ..100, 150 probably.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- You do like your enamelled spoons. - I know, they're wonderful, aren't they?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I've only recently bought them
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- but I did have to pay a lot of money for them.- Did you?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38I can do them for 100, but I can't come any lower. That is it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- We've got a little bit of time. - Yeah. OK.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- So the first thing we've looked at inside.- We don't need to.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Shall we have a little think? - I think so.- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- We can always come back to it. Potential I would say.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Thank you very much. - They are very nice. Thank you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Thank you.- They are lovely.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55So, still one item to find in less than 15 minutes.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Are the Reds having any more luck?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59What about these woven chairs?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- These?- Yeah.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- It's like having a pair of love chairs, isn't it? Love seats.- Yeah.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Give it a rest.- One each, it's perfect.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08THEY LAUGH
0:19:08 > 0:19:11This is usually by a company called Lloyd Loom and they've
0:19:11 > 0:19:14manufactured this furniture which was made out of woven fibre
0:19:14 > 0:19:18effectively so it's quite a sort of, a unique way of making furniture.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- They made chairs, laundry baskets. All sorts of things.- OK.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Can they be used outside, outdoors?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Well, it's not recommended. Oh, here we go.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- OK.- There we go. Lloyd Loom.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31There we go. Fantastic. And by W Lusty & Sons.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- I love that. It's a Lusty product! - OK.- What a thought!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39So, pair of them. One of them's got the label.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42See if you can find the label on the other one. Spot the label.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44See if there is one.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Yeah.- Have we got one on that too? - Bingo.- Perfect, well done.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51So, two, a pair of Lloyd Loom chairs. We've got some caps on the
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- front here. Not on the backs there. - Oh, OK.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56But, none the less, they are eternally popular.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00To find a pair is quite unusual because usually they were split.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Yeah.- I sold a pair of these, very similar, last week for £50.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- So, you want to be getting these... - For less.- ..for less than that.- OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- No pressure. - Let's see what we can do.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15This is our third and final thing if you really want. You like them?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I think we'll have a go, shall we?- Yeah.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21With 10 minutes left, Reds, you need to have more than a go.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24You need to buy something.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- The thing about these is, people love the pheasants.- It is nice.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- But it should be signed. - So it's got the right marks.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Exactly, its Worcester. So it's about 1900 in date.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39I would say looking at the time it's a choice between this which is
0:20:39 > 0:20:43lovely, but it's £150 or maybe your clock, Paul.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45How do you feel about that?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- I like my clock.- OK.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Let's go with the clock. - Do you think, Tracey?
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Because it's quirky.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And it's a lot cheaper
0:20:54 > 0:20:58and then we've got some money left over so we can rely on you, Kate,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00to find us a really good buy.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- No pressure, then!- No.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Oh, I'm sure you can handle it, Kate.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Now, have those Reds made a decision yet?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11What would your best price be on these?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Not a lot?- We are limited...
0:21:13 > 0:21:1420 each?
0:21:14 > 0:21:1620 each... 40 for both.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- 35?- 38.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Let's do it. This'll be interesting to see.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Right, we'll go for it.- Yeah. - Thank you.- Perfect. Well done.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Thank you very much.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28So the Reds can take a back seat,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31but the Blues have a race against time.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, looks like these guys are going home.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Packing up the clock.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Excuse me, have you still got the clock?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yes, we have.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Brilliant. What do you think, guys?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Well, you seem to have a good feeling about it.- I do, I love it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- And I know you like clocks. - Very industrial.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Do you think the man might drop a little bit more off?
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Would you come down to 40?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yes. definitely the last one.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57That's it, definitely. Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Thank you.- You OK with that? - We've got a deal!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Yes, we've got a deal.- OK.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04It's a dog's life. Time is up.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- A celebratory dance?- Yeah.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Jazz hands!
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Brilliant.- Fantastic.- That's number three. Well done!- We're there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19They are pinning their hopes on a 1920s silver nurse's belt buckle
0:22:19 > 0:22:21bought for £40.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24They just couldn't contain themselves
0:22:24 > 0:22:27when they saw those kitchen storage jars for £70.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31And they hope they'll be sitting pretty
0:22:31 > 0:22:34with a pair of Lloyd Loom armchairs for £38.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- That was great, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- We've had good fun. - Yeah, you certainly have.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Now, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I like the silver buckle,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47but I'm not sure if we'll make a huge profit on it.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- But you like it.- I like it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- You've got a passion for it.- I have. It's quite pretty, quite ornate.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53- Quite manly.- Very manly!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55THEY LAUGH
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Sarah, what about you, darling?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Erm... We bought some blue storage jars,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01which I really like, and I think will be pretty sellable.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- You're a little homemaker really, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06So, storage jars is favourite.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Are the storage jars going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09I think so.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- How much did you spend? - We spent £148.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I'd like £152 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Well buried.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Thank you.- OK. Thank you very much.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22That's a 152. Now, what are you going to do with that £152?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Stick it in my pocket.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Put it in the building society. - Yeah, it might make more!
0:23:27 > 0:23:28OK.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Haven't really bought much related to your dancing.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34So I think we need to go dancey.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Bit of a tutu.- Yeah! Tutu who?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Don't trot off too quickly, darling, because I've got Tim's Ton.- More!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42This is the extra 100. You know about this, don't you?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Thank you very much.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It's a special bonus buy which I'd be enchanted
0:23:46 > 0:23:49if you'd bring back - what you buy - for a little confidential chat,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51as soon as you've bought it.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Don't tell the Reds a thing about a thing, all right?- Exciting!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Even more money!- I know! Well, good luck.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58That's your two bonus buys to find,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02meanwhile, why don't we check out how the Blue Team got on, eh?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04They took a leap into the unknown
0:24:04 > 0:24:06with two mystery plant holders for £10.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11They'll have something to spout off about if this makes a profit.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13A Spode teapot bought for £25.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16And just in time,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Paul persuaded the girls to go with his Eastern bloc clock for £40.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well, well, well, that is a treasure, isn't it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25- It certainly is.- Yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- OK, how was the shopping for you, then, Trace?- Brilliant.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I actually found a superb Spode teapot.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Is that your favourite item? - It is.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38What about you, Paul? Is it the old Russian...
0:24:38 > 0:24:39- It's my clock.- Is it? - My Russian clock.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Well, I think so.- I don't think so. - You don't think so, at all.- No!
0:24:44 > 0:24:47So what is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- The teapot.- OK, fine...
0:24:49 > 0:24:51And how much did you spend in total?
0:24:51 > 0:24:52£75.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That is a pathetic amount of money.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I'll have the £225, thank you very much.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59That is a good old wodge. There you go, Kate.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01The trouble is that this fair is about to shut up
0:25:01 > 0:25:05and you'll be really pushed - I don't envy you this task.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07And also, for this special programme, there Tim's Ton.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10That's the £100 for the special bonus buy.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Now, when you've found it, would you pop back in a few moments
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and have a confidential word with me about it.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19And very, very, very good luck with that, Kate. Thank you.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Let's go shopping, girls.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You've both got two items to find.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32First, it's Christina's bonus buy,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and she's got up to £152 to spend.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I have found something that is absolutely perfect for these guys.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I said I wanted to get something dancey for them... Look at this!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Just heaven, look!
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It's a couple waltzing or...
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Could be a tango, could be a foxtrot...
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Could be a foxtrot. They're dancing - that's all we need to know.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55£38?!
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Well, we can do a little on it, for you.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Can you? What would your best price on it be?
0:26:00 > 0:26:0128, would be the best.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04£28. I'm very happy, so thank you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Well done, Christina, that's your bonus buy.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Now, how's Tim's Ton getting on?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Earlier, Ed said his favourite thing was that silver buckle we bought.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19And I rather thought that as silver does sell really well at
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Phil Serrell's saleroom so I thought I'd keep my eye out for some silver.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25And Adrian, bless him, has kept behind some little bits of silver
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I saw before. Have you got them there, Adrian? Brilliant. Thank you.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32So that's the silver-mounted hobnail-cut scent bottle.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Very sweet, thank you.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- And your Chinese spoon. - Brilliant. Thank very much.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40And the silver bowl you've saved from the melting pot.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I feel like I've rescued it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Brilliant, thank very much.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47OK, so, what are we talking, Adrian - for the three?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Well, the scent bottle I'll let you have for £20.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51OK. The spoon?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53The spoon for a fiver.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55And the bowel you can have at silver price - £35.
0:26:55 > 0:26:5735... So what's that in total?
0:26:57 > 0:26:58- £60 altogether.- £60.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01You'd be happy at that? Can't squeeze you any more?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- I'm afraid not a penny piece. - That's the absolute death.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It is, I'm afraid. Got a mortgage to pay.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Oh, haven't we all! Brilliant, thank you.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12With both items bought, I think it's time we had a chat.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Well, Christina. What a heap you've got here, girl!
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Don't be rude.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I gave you £152 for the team's bonus buy...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25What is that orange and black thing doing standing up there pertly?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I really don't think you should look at this.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- I don't think you'll like it. - Well, you have to tell me about it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well, look, I had two dancers, just married,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35and I thought kitch vintage jewellery,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38beautifully enamelled, and I just thought it was perfect for them.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- What about the colour of her frock! - She stands out, doesn't she?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44You know what they call that orange, don't you? Uranium orange.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Uranium orange?- You could put a geiger counter over that.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I reckon it would go zz-zz-zz-zz...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- It is very much a colour of the '50s.- It is.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53So how much did you pay?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- I paid £28 for that.- And how much money is it going to make?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57I would hope it would make £40-£60.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Do you really? - I think it is a lovely thing, yeah.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I haven't seen another one like that.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Now, I gave the £100, Tim's Ton. - Yeah, you did.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And we've got this heap of old scrap here.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11This is obviously a glass and silver mounted perfume bottle and stopper.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13So we've a lovely silver mount on here
0:28:13 > 0:28:16which has a Birmingham assay mark. So, nice and local.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I don't think it cost me a huge amount
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- because it's with this little bowl.- Two-handled trophy.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22A two-handled trophy.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Missing its plinth, sadly. It would've sat on a plinth.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26But it's unengraved
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- so if anybody wants a darts trophy or anything like that...- Exactly.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31..it's ready to go.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Again, another Birmingham mark,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35and a maker's mark there which is William Hutton and Sons.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Then, I bought a lucky bat for us.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Because I thought I might need it. - Chinese lucky bat.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Chinese, yes, exactly. Obviously, one of a set originally.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47I mean, that... I weighed it, and that would scrap at about £35-£40.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49What are you like, eh?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Well, I know it's ruthless - ruthless -
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- but we do have to bear this in mind. - OK.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56So, there's £30-£40 worth of scrap metal there.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Plus these other bits.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Cos I paid £60.- £60 for the lot. - Yes.- Really?- Yes.- OK.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05And you see that making, what? £60-£80?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- Well, and a little bit more, hopefully.- Do you?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Quite optimistic, aren't you? - I'm very optimistic.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- I've got a lucky bat, what more can go wrong?- Well, that's true.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Now, I've got the invidious task of selecting which one I think
0:29:17 > 0:29:21is going to make, in proportion, the highest profit, and I have to say,
0:29:21 > 0:29:26that I don't see the vintage dancing brooch doing any good at all.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28That's how I see it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32So, if I've got to pick one, I'll go with the traditional one,
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- in the hope that they've got lots of silver in the sale.- OK.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I don't see there's going to be a vast amount of profit in it,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41but I think it stands a better chance, basically, than old,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43tangerine dress face down there.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Right now, though, why don't we see how that poor Kate Bliss
0:29:47 > 0:29:50is getting on, finding her bonus buys.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53For Kate's first bonus buy,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56She has up to a whopping £225 to spend.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03Ooh, I like that. Always like something in the shape of a gavel.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06And that is really neat, because you've got pepper one side,
0:30:06 > 0:30:10and you've got salt the other, which is really sweet.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Let's just have a closer look.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16We've got a little mark there, which tells me it's Danish.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Let's have a look. Danish silver-plate.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Shame it's not silver.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24£43. Hi, there.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27How does 30 sound?
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- 33, 33.- 33, well...
0:30:33 > 0:30:36That's pretty good. 33 it is. I like it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Thank you very much. Great.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Well done, Kate.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Now, just your Tim's Ton item to buy.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- I like your wheel. - It's a very nice wheel.- Yeah!
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- Just the one?- Of course. That's the only problem.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- What do you want for that, then? - Well, I've got 90 on it.- Right.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- But you won't want to pay 90. - I won't.- No.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I've got to put it into an auction. How does 50 sound?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- Can't quite go that low. - No? I do like it.- 60?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- I'll meet you in the middle. - BOTH: 55. Yeah.- Done.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Thank you very much.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- Thank you very much indeed. - Good negotiating, Kate.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Maybe you'll find the other three on the way home.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Didn't she do well?
0:31:22 > 0:31:28I'm surrounded by objects that you've found with varying amounts of cash.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Anyway, let's do the team's bonus buy.- OK.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- I gave you £225.- You did... - This is what you found.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38This is what I found. I'm afraid, on the cash front,
0:31:38 > 0:31:39I haven't done very well.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- I only spent 33....- Is that all it cost you?- Mm.- What is it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- It's a gavel, right?- Mm-hm.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48But, when you look closely, you can see it's salt one side,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50and pepper the other.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Which I thought was rather fun. - Well, I'm blowed.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Sadly, it's silver-plate, rather than silver. If it was silver,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59it would be fantastic for £33.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02And it's probably late '50s.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05How much profit do you think there is in that, Kate Bliss?
0:32:05 > 0:32:0910, 20. Pounds, as opposed to Danish euros...
0:32:09 > 0:32:10- Krone.- Krone.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- No, seriously. £10 or £20 do think is in it, do you?- Well, possibly.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Now, talking about the wonders of Kate Bliss,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17this is knocking around behind me.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19This would be the Tim's Ton, would it?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Yeah, I'm sort of shifting in my seat on this one.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25This is not the typical Kate Bliss buy, but we're going to sales, aren't we?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Well, that is true, actually. Strategically...
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Yeah. So, that's the plan here. - Is it?- £55 paid.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- And just the sort of thing he'd buy, isn't it?- Well, it is.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Every day of the week.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41And at auction, I am predicting somewhere between 50 and 70.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I'm supposed to make a prediction now, as to which one is,
0:32:44 > 0:32:49in proportion to the price paid, is likely to bring the larger profit.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53And, on the principle that I don't really know what to do next,
0:32:53 > 0:32:54always turn left.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I'll go with your gavel jobbie,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59because I just can't see the money in the wheel.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04- OK.- All right?- Not really, but it'll have to be.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Well, that's what I'm doing anyway, so, tough.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Anyway, right now, before we get too childish,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13let's head off to somewhere absolutely splendido.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Oscar Wilde was one,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19as where both Laurel and Hardy.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24Mozart's Opera, The Magic Flute, celebrated the fact that he was one.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Winston Churchill was one, but not a big, important one.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32And goodness only knows how many members of the Royal family have been one.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Freemasonry has been around for the last 400 years.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41It has been seen in the past as being secretive and,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43if anything, a little sinister.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47But things are changing in the world of funny handshakes.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Modern Freemasons want to present a warmer
0:33:50 > 0:33:52and more welcoming face to the world.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56As part of that process, they're opening the doors to lodges,
0:33:56 > 0:33:57like this one in Worcester,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59revealing the secret treasures within.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Whom have you there? OK, you can come in.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10I bet you didn't expect to see such an enormous space as this.
0:34:10 > 0:34:16This place houses the second largest museum of Masonic artefacts
0:34:16 > 0:34:20anywhere in the country, and what an extraordinary, varied
0:34:20 > 0:34:24and eclectic collection they have.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30From Meissen porcelain to engraved glass,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32precious, bejewelled jewels
0:34:32 > 0:34:36sitting alongside rather mundane-looking objects,
0:34:36 > 0:34:39but all redolent with symbolism.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41I'm here to meet Colin Young.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Not OUR Colin Young,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46but the chairman of the museum, to find out more.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Well, Colin, it's a treat to be here. My first question is,
0:34:51 > 0:34:57how is it that Freemasonry has the reputation, to the outsider,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00of being shrouded in secrecy? Is that the case?
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Not any more. It was, when the Nazis came into power.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09We saw what was happening to Freemasons in the conquered lands.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11They were taken into concentration camps,
0:35:11 > 0:35:16they were killed and, therefore, in this country, Masons went quiet.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Their big mistake, and everybody knows it was a big mistake,
0:35:19 > 0:35:21was to go quiet after the War as well.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26It took until about 1981-1984 before we woke up to the fact that,
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- if you don't tell people what you are doing, they become suspicious.- Mm.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34And there is no reason to be suspicious. We're open to anyone.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Now, Colin, I don't expect to sit alongside
0:35:38 > 0:35:41the chairman of a museum, who's got a two-handled jerry
0:35:41 > 0:35:44in front of him. What's going on here?
0:35:44 > 0:35:49This was used in the 19th century, when Masons were in lodge rooms.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Now, they didn't have large rooms like we have here, they were in pubs.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Were they?- Once the door was closed and the meeting was going on,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58they tended to stay in the meeting.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01And if a meeting's lasting two and a half hours and you've had
0:36:01 > 0:36:05three or four pints of decent beer, you might want to use...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07the facilities.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- This was a facility which you could pass under the table.- Oh, very matey.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Very matey, yeah.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19But what's important and makes it bespoke for Masons,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21is the device outside, isn't it?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24The device is the two pillars, the all-seeing eye.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28So, that's from the first half of the 19th century?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30If we move along the table a bit,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33what is the significance of this group here?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Those are what we call charity jewels. People say they're medals,
0:36:36 > 0:36:38we call them charity jewels.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42And if you gave a certain sum of money, you were able to have one
0:36:42 > 0:36:45of these jewels and wear it on your coat when you went into the lodge.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- I see.- The early ones are gold, of course.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52What is not realised is the incredible amounts of money
0:36:52 > 0:36:54raised by Masons across the land.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57I mean, what sort of numbers are we talking about here?
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Well, from 1981 until now, the Masons have given £55 million
0:37:01 > 0:37:06to various charities, international disaster relief funds...
0:37:06 > 0:37:10So, you would wear your jewel with pride in this lodge,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- having made your donation? - That's right.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14So, tell me, Colin, about this one.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Well, we call that the Hogarth jewel.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20It is said to have been designed by Hogarth himself,
0:37:20 > 0:37:22when he was a Mason.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25He was Master of the Grand Steward's Lodge in 1753,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I think it was.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Hogarth was, of course, the most extraordinary artist.- Oh, fantastic.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34The most profligate printmaker of the 18th century.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35And made a fortune out of it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39So, we've got a jewel-set bezel around the outside
0:37:39 > 0:37:41and then another inside.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45This flaming aura, which goes to make up the central design,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47all in silver and silver-gilt.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- So, would this be a serious treasure in the museum, then?- Oh, yes.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- There are only a couple around in the country...- Really?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57..and we have one of them, of course.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01This one, I think, is intriguing, largely because we seem
0:38:01 > 0:38:06to have a chequerboard engraved under the glass of this cover.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08We are sitting on a chequerboard.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12What is the significance of the chequerboard within Freemasonry?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Well, in Freemasonry, we say this represents our journey through life.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Oh, right.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21From darkness, before our birth, into light
0:38:21 > 0:38:23and into darkness afterwards, I suppose.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27And the middle part of this jewel, where does that come from?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30That was made by a French prisoner of war,
0:38:30 > 0:38:35probably 1805, 1800, something like this, during the Napoleonic Wars.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39They made these, basically, to sell in order to get food.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Moving on, we've got the all-seeing eye above one, two, three,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45seven stars...
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Seven liberal arts and sciences.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- And the all-seeing eye being the eye of God?- The eye of God.- OK.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53And if I turn it over, we've got
0:38:53 > 0:38:58no less a personage than the Prince of Wales, Edward VII to be.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- He was a Freemason, was he?- He was a Grand Master.- Hence this jewel.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05And hence he's wearing his Grand Master's column.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Well, that's marvellous. I can't thank you enough.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12I see we've got a gavel here. What do Freemasons use the gavel for?
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Well, the gavel is to call attention and keep order in the lodge.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Banging. the gavel.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20And, of course, we're about to shuffle off to an auction,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23where we have a certain very famous auctioneer,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26who is very good at keeping us all in order.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Thank you very much, Colin, for having us.- Thank you, Tim.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- Well, Phil... How are you?- I'm very, very well. As I hope you are.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- It's great to be here in Malvern in the country.- Thank you.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Anyway, the first item Christina found,
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- which is the nurse's buckle.- Yep.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Now, I've noticed that these buckles are becoming increasingly
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- difficult to sell.- Yes, they have come down in value.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58It's solid silver, it's beautifully made, you know,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00all of that's great, isn't it?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03It is, but it falls under that sort of category of collecting
0:40:03 > 0:40:06that I think has had its day, Tim. We put £20-£40 on that.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- 20-40 is your estimate. £40 they paid.- Yeah.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11So, Christina might just get out of trouble with it.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Now, here we've got the Bretby set of kitchenalia pots, which look
0:40:16 > 0:40:20just like the Cornishware things, which are worth a lot of money.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21- TG Green, yeah.- Exactly.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24So, the Bretby ones won't be worth as much as the TG Green ones,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- but you've got a set. - Yeah, they're going to make what?
0:40:27 > 0:40:3050 to 60, £60 to £70 all day long. What did they pay for these, Tim?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- They paid £70.- I think they might just be all right with those.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Lovely. Now, last are these two Lloyd Loom chairs,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39which look, to me, absolutely fantastic.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42I think they're fine. What have we put on those?
0:40:42 > 0:40:43- 30 to 45, £30 to £50.- Is that all?
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- Yeah, they'll do that all day long, won't they?- Well, they should do.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48The sun's shining.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51The sun's shining, they've got that spray-on gold look,
0:40:51 > 0:40:53which is what they ought to have,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55they've got the original Lloyd Loom labels.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Well, there we go, we like them. - Absolutely.- And on that basis,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01I think the kitchenalia will do well, the Lloyd Loom will do well.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I don't think they'll need their bonus buys,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06but let's go and have a look at them anyway.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Well, teams, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:41:09 > 0:41:15You spent £152, so £148 went to Christina. Show us what your bought.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Well, I couldn't resist this. - BOTH: Oh!
0:41:18 > 0:41:20I really couldn't resist it.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22It's a vintage piece, it's a little costume piece,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24so it's not silver or semiprecious stone.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28It's actually a base metal, but it's really rather beautifully done.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30I actually really like that.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33In wonderful sort of Art Deco colours, and I thought: you've
0:41:33 > 0:41:37just got married, you're dancers, what could be more appropriate?
0:41:37 > 0:41:42- You're so romantic!- Sweet.- I think I'm going to burst into tears.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- What do you think? - I, personally, love this.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48What period, then, Christina, please?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51It looks Art Deco, but I think it's later, yes, I think
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- it's harking back to something more romantic.- '50s, '60s maybe?
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Yes, exactly.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58OK, lovely. Now you need to find out how much did she spend.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Yeah, the all-important...
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Well, I spent £28 on it.- OK.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I don't think that's unreasonable.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- I would hope that she would make between £30-£50.- Yeah.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- I was thinking hopefully 40. - OK, 30-50 is her estimate.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15- She spent 28. You're going to have to decide later.- OK.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Now, let's get Philip's opinion on the brooch.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- OK, Phil, that's style for you. - That's rather sweet, isn't it?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- I like that.- Do you? - Yeah, I do.- Uranium orange.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- When do you think it was made, then? '60s?- No, I think it's '50s.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29But in a sort of heavy Deco style.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Yeah, I think it's really, really cool.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35That could just do really well. We've put £20-£40 on that.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36- What did they pay for that?- 28.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I think that one could do all right.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Do you? How much is all right? Might it make 50?- Yeah, it might.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42- Might it?- I think it might.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Again, it's that vintagey, kitschy, retro thing, isn't it?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47It is, and it's in good condition.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49So, that's the team's bonus buy.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Now, what about the Tim's Ton?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54There are several bits, look.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57What we've got here is, basically, a mixed lot of silver.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01She spent £60 for the three items. Tell us about that.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Well, I thought dancing trophy, potentially.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- It was slightly tenuous, but... - You're a wonder.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- I think I'd be a bit disappointed. - Oh, no!
0:43:10 > 0:43:14We won a big cup, right?
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Maybe for third place, or something.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19Fully hallmarked and you've got your scent bottle here,
0:43:19 > 0:43:23or ladies dress dressing table bottle. Again, fully hallmarked.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26And, of course, I couldn't resist my lucky batty bat.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- Yes, there is a lucky bat. - Oh, the bat!- Yes.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- Sorry, that's the old bat on the end?- Yes. Not me, the bat.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35No, exactly. You're the young bat. No, no.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37So, old batty terminal there, yes?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40There is a huge amount of interest in Chinese wares
0:43:40 > 0:43:43and I just couldn't resist, he was gorgeous. So, he was thrown in
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- as well. So, £60...- £60?- Yes. - For the three.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48How much do you think they're going to bring in, though?
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Silver price has gone up ever so slightly,
0:43:50 > 0:43:54so, I'm rather hoping that they will bring us £60-£80 for the three.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56You're going to have to go and cogitate and remember,
0:43:56 > 0:44:00you don't have to take any of them if you don't want to, but now, for the audience at home,
0:44:00 > 0:44:03let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Christina's bonus buy.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07My pick of the two bonus buys was to go with these,
0:44:07 > 0:44:11because I saw a ruckus silver for £60
0:44:11 > 0:44:14and I was hopeful that we'd turn more of a profit on those than on
0:44:14 > 0:44:16the dancers, but I could well be wrong.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20That's the joy of this business, isn't it? We've all got different eyes.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22- I mean, we put 30-50 on these.- OK.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24So, are a bit of a scrapheap lot, aren't they?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27- Yeah, for me, they are. - Well, we'll see what happens.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30That's the excitement. And I'm delighted to be proven wrong,
0:44:30 > 0:44:33but that was my choice. We have to move on,
0:44:33 > 0:44:36which we do, from moving on from the Reds to the Blues.
0:44:36 > 0:44:41And for the blues, they've got these two mystery pots.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44But nobody really knows what these things are for.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48- These are grave ornaments. - You what?- Grave ornaments.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52So, you actually... When great aunt Florence is, you know...
0:44:52 > 0:44:54- Laid out?- ..pushing them up,
0:44:54 > 0:44:57You put this into the ground and you just turn it in,
0:44:57 > 0:45:00and you've got a flower bunch.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- That is amazing. And the same with the other one?- Absolutely the same.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06That one you twist in, that one you bodge in.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08- And they sit on someone's grave. - I don't believe it.
0:45:08 > 0:45:13- Well, that is the most perfect, logical answer.- Grave vases, yeah.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16This has been a grave concern to us, you know that?
0:45:16 > 0:45:20I'm not sure that it necessarily helps the saleability of the objects.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23No, I was just about to say that. I think the fact that they've come,
0:45:23 > 0:45:25at one point or another, off someone's grave...
0:45:25 > 0:45:28- So, what's the estimate, then, Phil? - £10-£15.- OK, £10 paid.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Well, it's going to be great to solve the mystery, though.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35So, good on your researcher, to do the due diligence. Thank you.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Brilliant. Next is this large teapot, and it is a whopper, isn't
0:45:37 > 0:45:40- it?- That IS a teapot, isn't it? You could get both teams out of that,
0:45:40 > 0:45:42in the cricket club, couldn't you?
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Certainly could. I think I rather like it, don't you?
0:45:45 > 0:45:47- I do in a sort of...- In its chunkiness?- Yeah! I do, I do.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- How old is it? Not very old. - No, not very old at all.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- We've put £20-£30 on it. - OK, £25 our lot paid.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56You've put 20-30, I think that's a bit of a tease.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59You watch, Phil, if that doesn't make £50,
0:45:59 > 0:46:01- the next cup of tea is on me. - Right, you're on.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04OK. Now, lastly, straight from the USSR,
0:46:04 > 0:46:07- do you like it?- Yeah, I do, I think it's quite funky, actually.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10We've put £40-£60 on that and I think that'll do well.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13And I have to say I liked it too, when I saw it.
0:46:13 > 0:46:14And they only paid £40.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17I think, you know, for a clock collector, that is
0:46:17 > 0:46:20the thing to buy, looking a bit to the future.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- I think they're quids in with that. - Yeah, good.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26That's brilliant. I think, overall, they've done extremely well.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29I don't think they'll need the bonus buys,
0:46:29 > 0:46:31but let's go and have a look at them anyway.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Now, Tracy, Paul, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.- It is.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38You were very parsimonious and only spent £75,
0:46:38 > 0:46:41which meant that Kate had a huge fortune of £225.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Kate, what did you spend it on?
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Well, I tried very hard to spend a serious amount,
0:46:46 > 0:46:49but I saw this and got rather excited.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- And had to have it, because it is, of course...- Salt and pepper.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54..it's a salt and pepper. Well done.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Look at your eagle eye down here.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59- And it's a gavel. - And it's a gavel. Exactly.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03And, among the auctioneering fraternity, us guys,
0:47:03 > 0:47:06we like gavels and they are quite collectable.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10It's also Danish, and we've got a little mark on the handle here
0:47:10 > 0:47:13to show that it's Danish silver-plate.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15So, when do you think it was made, Kate?
0:47:15 > 0:47:16So, I think it's probably '50s.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18How much did you pay for it?
0:47:18 > 0:47:21- £33.- £33!
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Which I think, for a nice little piece of Danish design,
0:47:24 > 0:47:28- and a novelty gavel, is rather good.- Yeah.- What do you think?
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Well, I would probably say it could be anything from £30
0:47:32 > 0:47:34to maybe £50, or even a little bit more.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Back to Phil for news on the gavel.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Right, Phil. This is a novelty for you, isn't it?
0:47:40 > 0:47:43Well, do you know what, I think they've been very clever with this,
0:47:43 > 0:47:47because every auctioneer collects gavels. And I've had every auctioneer the length of Britain...
0:47:47 > 0:47:50"How much is that lot going to make at your next sale?"
0:47:50 > 0:47:51- You haven't!- I have.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Well, that's because you've illustrated it in the catalogue
0:47:54 > 0:47:57- and you've done your very, very best for our teams.- Yeah.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00And I think that will do well. We've got £30-£50 on it.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- And I think it'll do top end of that.- £33 they paid.
0:48:04 > 0:48:05I think they're fine.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09And they could be on a roll when we reveal Tim's Ton.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12On this programme, it's special, because there are two bonus buys,
0:48:12 > 0:48:17- and you have to consider next Tim's Ton.- Ah.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19And if we do our little sashay to one side,
0:48:19 > 0:48:22I'll help Kate out by revealing...
0:48:22 > 0:48:25From the beautifully designed to the...
0:48:25 > 0:48:28working wheel.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29THEY LAUGH
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Obviously, done quite a lot of work in its time.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34They are lovely garden pieces.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36And I paid £55.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39But I would think, here in Worcestershire,
0:48:39 > 0:48:41we might just get the edge and a little bit of profit.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Yeah, but right now,
0:48:43 > 0:48:47why don't we ask the auctioneer what he thinks about Kate's bonus buy?
0:48:48 > 0:48:51- I don't know, it's £40-£60 worth, Tim.- It's a bit tired, isn't it?
0:48:51 > 0:48:56Yeah, it is, but somebody will paint it white and stick it on a pub wall or a stable wall.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57It's just decorative, isn't it?
0:48:57 > 0:49:01- But you don't rate it particularly? - No, I think it's just going to make,
0:49:01 > 0:49:04you know, if they're lucky, it's going to make £50, £50-£60.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08OK, £55 was what they paid so, you know, that's about it.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11OK, Phil, well, thank you very much for all these predictions.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14It'll be very interesting to see what happens, won't it?
0:49:14 > 0:49:16- Absolutely, Tim.- Absolutely, Phil.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Time to do your stuff, then, Phil.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22First up for the Reds is the silver nurse's buckle.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25349, this is a rather nice little nurse's buckle.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29- Bid me for that, someone.- Beautiful. - Start me off, the nurse's buckle.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32- Bid me £30.- Come on, come on. - Bid me £20.
0:49:32 > 0:49:3520, I am bid. At 5, 25. Lady's bid.
0:49:35 > 0:49:3730, now. Your bid, madam, at 25.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39At £25...
0:49:39 > 0:49:42£25. It's a joke. J-O-K-E.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46Minus £15, you was robbed there. Now, Bretby pots.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49The Bretby storage jars, these are really cool.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Bid me £80 for the five.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54£50. Well, bid me 40.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58- Bid me £30.- He's trying.
0:49:58 > 0:50:0230 I am bid. At £30, then, 35 on the next bid.
0:50:02 > 0:50:0540, 40 bid. 45. One more now?
0:50:07 > 0:50:0950, 50 bid. At £50, then...
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- At £50, then, I say... - Better than it might have been.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15And thank you.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18I'm afraid all my predictions are going well up the spout today.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22Now, Lloyd Loom, this had better do it, or I'm going to be very cross.
0:50:22 > 0:50:27Really lovely Lloyd Loom chairs, bid me for them. £60. At 60, 60 bid.
0:50:27 > 0:50:28It's 60. 5.
0:50:28 > 0:50:2970.

0:50:51 > 0:50:54Is that peachy, or what? That is a peach. You're +12, I'm loving it.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58What are you going to do about the brooch? Do you want to go with
0:50:58 > 0:51:01the brooch, or do you want to go with the bowl and the mixed silver lot?
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Or, do you want to do nothing?
0:51:03 > 0:51:07- We're not going to do nothing.- I thought we should go for the silver.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09Yeah, definitely the silver. Yeah.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43in Philip Serrell's sale room today.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Because he's identified
0:52:45 > 0:52:51that those Buchan and Porto vase jobbies are for graveyard ornaments.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54Well, that's brilliant, because everybody dies in the end,

0:54:21 > 0:54:23Now, what are you going to do, are you going to go with
0:54:23 > 0:54:26the gavel jobbie, or are you going to go with the cart wheel?
0:54:26 > 0:54:29- Well, we have had a bit of a discussion about this.- Yes.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32We've decided that we're going to go with the gavel.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35You selected the gavel, I selected the gavel,
0:54:35 > 0:54:38she bought the gavel and I rate the gavel.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Right, and in fact, Philip Serrell, who is not necessarily
0:54:41 > 0:54:44the most generous of people when come see estimates...
0:54:44 > 0:54:48he's put £30-£50 on it and you paid £33,
0:54:48 > 0:54:50so that seems pretty cool to me.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53The one you've selected is the gavel, and here it comes.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56It's the Danish condiment gavel, really,
0:54:56 > 0:54:58I suppose is what you'd call it.
0:54:58 > 0:55:02- And, bizarrely, I've got one, two, three, four, five bids...- Five bids!
0:55:02 > 0:55:04But it's where we start, isn't it?

0:55:39 > 0:55:43Hey, now hang on a minute, £157 worth of profit,
0:55:43 > 0:55:46but, we are going to sell the cart wheel. Here we go.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Who's got £20 for the cart wheel?
0:55:48 > 0:55:51- It really should make 50. - Who's got £5 for a cart wheel?

0:56:01 > 0:56:04On the book and done, then, at £5.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07That's a hell of a lot of wheel for £5.
0:56:07 > 0:56:12Which is -£50. Anyway, that did not de-rail us, I have to tell you.
0:56:12 > 0:56:16Because you went with right lot, which is the Danish gavel.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18Well done. Anyway, you made £157 profit on that.
0:56:18 > 0:56:21You had £25 before, which means
0:56:21 > 0:56:23- you have a total of £182.- Gosh.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26We will have to go down to the cash machine
0:56:26 > 0:56:29and get some money to pay you out in a minute, and in the meanwhile,
0:56:29 > 0:56:32before we reveal all, don't say a word to the Reds, all right?
0:56:32 > 0:56:36- Shtoom on that.- Yes, definitely. - Well done Kate Bliss, eh?
0:56:36 > 0:56:37Well done...
0:56:44 > 0:56:47- Well, teams, this has been fun, hasn't it?- ALL: Yes.
0:56:47 > 0:56:49How lovely to have double teams of winners.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52Everybody's going home with profits. Such a satisfactory feeling.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55Just the question of the scale of the profits. Now, have you been
0:56:55 > 0:56:58- chatting to one another about profits?- ALL: No.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01No, not at all. Well, we're glad to hear it. There is a big gap.
0:57:01 > 0:57:05You're all in profit and the team with the least winnings
0:57:05 > 0:57:06just happens to be...
0:57:06 > 0:57:08- the Reds.- Awww.
0:57:08 > 0:57:12- With +£12. That's not bad, is it, sir?- No.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15No, that's the right answer. Couple of drinks, here comes the £12.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18There's 10 of them, and another couple of pounds.
0:57:18 > 0:57:21I think Christina did very well finding both those bonus buys,
0:57:21 > 0:57:24because both of them were crackers. We just didn't select the right one.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26Either of us. Anyway.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29You've made a profit, which is an achievement on this programme.
0:57:29 > 0:57:35- Yeah, we're OK with that.- You're OK with that? Well, I'm pleased to hear that, because you've been up against
0:57:35 > 0:57:38the opposition from heaven today, who are going home
0:57:38 > 0:57:40with £182 of money.
0:57:41 > 0:57:44- £182 of winnings.- Wow!
0:57:46 > 0:57:50- It's a "wow," isn't it?- Yes.- £25 was your profit off the massive teapot.
0:57:50 > 0:57:54You had a couple of white faces and along came Kate,
0:57:54 > 0:57:58with her marvellous Danish gavel, which made a profit of £157.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00It doesn't happen very often.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02Well, bathe in the glory of it,
0:58:02 > 0:58:05because it's a very substantial number and well done.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08But there is another winner from this special programme,
0:58:08 > 0:58:14and that will be the charity that gets the £17 profit on the lot
0:58:14 > 0:58:18that Christina found that was not selected.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20So, there is a charitable winner on the side as well.
0:58:20 > 0:58:25- Anyway, congratulations, great fun. I hope you've enjoyed it?- ALL: Yes.
0:58:25 > 0:58:29- Lovely. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
