0:00:01 > 0:00:03Cor! This is exciting, isn't it?
0:00:03 > 0:00:06You never know what you're going to find.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07DETECTOR HUMS
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Oh, no, just my luck, an old broken wheel!
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Let's hope our teams have better luck as we go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:39 > 0:00:43We're looking out for treasure today at the Jaguar Antiques Fair
0:00:43 > 0:00:49at Derby University, but before all that, let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up in the programme.
0:00:51 > 0:00:5425 minutes, 25 minutes. Don't get me panicking!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58'Susan and Belinda give David Barby the run-around...'
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We've only got four minutes, Susan!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Oh, my! Oh, my!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09'..metal-detecting mates Richard and Neil have a dig at me...'
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Turn it round, it might be your date of birth on it.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15What, 1617?! You cheeky monkey!
0:01:15 > 0:01:20..and at the auction, the contestants go bonkers.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Gosh.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29If that's put a smile on your face, let's nip outside and meet 'em.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Now, how did you two become mates?
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Well, we actually were at school together,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41but we didn't know we were at school together at that point.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- We both live in Matlock, both our husbands play golf, we met at a golf do.- Did you?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Yes.- They're both plumbers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- You're both plumbers?- No, they are.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56Oh, they are! Two blonde plumbers, it would be unusual, meeting in a golf social, I have to say.
0:01:56 > 0:02:02- Anyway, Susan, you stayed at school and you actually turned it into a career, didn't you?- I did. Yes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04How long did you stay at school for?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Well, until I retired two years ago, really. Addicted to school dinners.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Is that what it is?- Yes!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- All that custard and spotted dick. - I can't get enough.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14No, can't get enough, quite.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- What was your job particularly in the school?- Teacher.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- You were a teacher?- Yes.- Very good.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20What did you teach?
0:02:20 > 0:02:26PSE. Personal and Social Education, or, shall we say, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Oh, lovely. Now you're retired, what keeps you busy?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I've volunteered to be an appropriate adult.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35If vulnerable people are interviewed by the police,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39they have to have someone with them, and I go into interview with them.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Is it quite interesting?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Oh, it's dead interesting. You see all life there, fabulous.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Now, Belinda, you work with your hubby, the plumber?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I try and help him and not hinder him, yes!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Do you bend the pipes?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54No, no, no, no. It's strictly in the office.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I answer the phone and I'm in the office bit.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Now, you're obviously pretty zany, you two, but your husband
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- has a particular nickname for you, doesn't he?- Oh, gosh, yes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Do you want me to say it? - Yes, please.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Right! He calls me Loopy Lou From 42, because my house number is 42.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- That's because you are always saying daft things?- I do.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17I don't realise I've said it until everybody falls about laughing.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18No, quite.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Then I think, "I don't know if I should have said that," but the grandchildren love it anyway.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So, have you girls got any tactics today? What's your tactics?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Oh, yes, the items have got to be beautiful.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Beautiful.- ..practical...- Practical.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34..or preferably both of those.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Preferably both. Well, I think you're going to be a marvellous team, you two.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Very, very, very good luck.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I don't know how you boys are going to be able to cope.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43You two work together, don't you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Yes.- But you're not plumbers, by any chance?- No.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51That's a great shame, otherwise I could see you bonding up really rather beautifully!
0:03:51 > 0:03:52So where do you work, then?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55We work at a factory local to where we live, Tim.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- What do you make in your factory? - Coffee.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Do you?- Yes. Tonnes of coffee.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04That's a nice factory to work in.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Very nice!- Richard, you're a big Bargain Hunt fan. Why is that?
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- I just love the show, Tim, I've been known to go home in my dinner hour to watch the show.- Have you?- I do.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Does this watching Bargain Hunt mean you have an extensive knowledge of antiques?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I wouldn't say extensive, but I like bits of silver.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Yes.- Those sorts of things. - Have you picked up tips?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Yes.- Mainly from me?- Of course.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28We're going to see the fruits of my labour today then, that's lovely.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Now, it says here, Neil, you're keen on metal detecting?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Yes, we both are.- Both of you? Do you go out together, do you?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- We do, yes.- Lovely. What sort of things do you find?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Lots and lots of silver coins, mostly a lot of rubbish,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47but I have found such a thing as a Roman ear-wax remover.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50A Roman ear-wax remover? Have you tried it out?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52No, the wife did.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- The wife! She's not picky, your wife, is she?- No!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I brought you something that I found in the field, Tim, to show you.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00A little lead token with your initials on the front.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01I don't believe that!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04If you turn it round, it might be your date of birth on it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08What, 1617? You cheeky monkey!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Immediately put that back in your pocket! What a nice thing.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Now, the money moment, £300 apiece. There's your £300. - Thank you very much.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25Well, I don't know, plumbers, moles and metal detectorists, whatever next?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Next, it's the experts.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32For the Reds, it's David Barby.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Slick!
0:05:34 > 0:05:38And for the Blues, it's Nick Hall.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Right, as they get started, so does the countdown.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48They have £300 to find three items in just one hour.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50What do I do now?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Well, I might have a cup of coffee, actually.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- What are you going to look for? - Something with really nice lines.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Perhaps something Art Nouveau, not sure yet.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07I'd like to find a nice little silver Vestas case or a vinaigrette or something like that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09When we see it, we'll know.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Some Clarice.- A bit of Clarice.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Let's go shopping.- Yes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I love going shopping, especially with somebody else's money!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18'Don't we all, Susan!'
0:06:20 > 0:06:24It's a lot of money, but I love that sort of stuff, and that's so useful, frames and stuff.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- I know, but we haven't got £1,300! - I know, I know, I know. - David, what are these?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Those are little knife rests. - Very attractive, aren't they?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35They are nice. I like that little menu holder there. Can you see that?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Yes.- That's the very best you can buy.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39This has got L and Company, that's Liberty and Company.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42This is typical, designs after an artist called
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Archibald Knox, but I think that is going to be close on £200.- Really?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50The very, very depth, and I mean that, is £250.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Why?- Because you know what it is, it is so rare.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56What about the casket?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- I need two for that.- The tray?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- 650.- Oh!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I think we'd better move on!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Yes, you'd better, Belinda. That Barby's got expensive taste, you know.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Now, those Blues have spotted something quite divine.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Do you know what these are?- No.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- No, I don't.- They're called icons, they were made in Russia throughout the 17th, 18th, 19th century.
0:07:19 > 0:07:26And they would be on a wall with a little lit candle, and prayers would be offered to the icons.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Now, very early ones make a lot of money, but of course, people still produce and make them
0:07:30 > 0:07:35today for use in people's homes, so you have to be very careful you haven't got a modern one.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40I don't think there's anything early enough, so I think we will have to bypass that.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43So let's keep going, see what else we can find.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Yep, in this game you've got to keep moving.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Tell that to the Reds.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53They're stuck in the early 1900s.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I just want to show you something.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You see these magazines?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59These are studio magazine.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02They all date round about 1905.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Now, this was the bible for the arts-and-crafts movement.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12This is housing, art, silverware, architecture...
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Oh, right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19- Oh, look at this. Oh!- Lovely.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- David's in raptures over these! - The thing is, the studio, it's a very collectible thing.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25They're an invaluable reference book.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Competitions. - They were designs for competitions.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31That is how Liberty got their chief designers.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- What's your best price? - I'll do you 50 for the lot.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- How many are there? - 12.- What do you think?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I would rather have something I can touch and take away.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- You can turn the pages!- Yeah. Can we think about it and come back to it?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- No, you want to take them now?- No.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Do you think we could make money?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53You can't listen to this!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Well, I think you might be a little bit kind
0:08:57 > 0:08:59and probably bring it down slightly less.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- 40.- 40?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Right, fantastic!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I agree totally now!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08The price is down.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Fantastic!- Thank you very much.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- I'm deliriously happy!- I am too.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Do we move on, or is there anything else?
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Just before we move on, I do like that. Can you tell me a bit about that, please?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23- This one?- Yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25This is actually a crumb scoop.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28There's no brush with it or anything? That's how it is?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32This never had a brush. This is a actually a crumb scoop, not a crumb tray.
0:09:32 > 0:09:39And it was the crumb trays that had a brush. They generally hung on a wall, whereas this was designed
0:09:39 > 0:09:43to actually sit on the table, and they shook their crumbs into it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:50But this is designed by Liberty, designed by Archibald Knox by Liberty and Co, it dates to 1902.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52The very best on that would be £80.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54That is lovely.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- I do love it.- That's silver?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57No, that's pewter.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- That's what I'm saying all the time. - But you're paying for the name.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04We've got one little selection of Art Nouveau.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Keep this in mind.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Yes.- Move on.- I think we should move on and see what else there is.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Span the stores. If there's something fascinating you want to go to, we'll go to it,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- but don't pick up everything. - I won't pick up.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- OK.- Oh, take control, David, eh, masterful?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Right, look at the date. - 1992, seen by the Thames.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Have a look, see what you think. - Thank you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36It actually weighs two ounces.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Two ounces of silver?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40You feel the weight in that, Reg.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43There's some good weight in there, isn't there?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49You're right, that's obviously a nice sign of the quality of the gauge of a piece of silverware.
0:10:49 > 0:10:56These embossed-lid boxes, castle tops as they're called, are very popular with collectors.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00The declaration on the top there isn't as sharp as the Victorian originals,
0:11:00 > 0:11:01but you wouldn't expect it to be.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05But for a silver collector on a budget who can't afford the real thing,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07they might have a look at something like that.
0:11:07 > 0:11:13- It's got a nice, clear set of hallmarks, but we know it's modern, 1992.- Do we know who made it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:19It's the London and Silversmiths Company, which are good manufactures.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24So, if the price is right, I think there's a bit of mileage in that. Now, what's the dealer asking? £68.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29If we can get that down to maybe 40 or £50, I think we could be all right.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Yeah?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33We're looking at this nice little silver box of yours,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I'm just wandering what your best price would be on that?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39The very best is 55.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41How would 45 sound?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Sounds more like £55.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Meet me in the middle, what about £50?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Well, I've been offered 50 before, so my best would be 52.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- £52 and we're out? - What do you think, mate?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Your decision, mate, you're the silver boy.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think that's a good lump, in't it?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's a good lump of silver.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I'm happy with that, Neil. You happy with that?
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- 52?- Yes, that's fine. - We've got a deal. Thank you very much.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Interesting tactic, that.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Modern, metal, and it's a "lump".
0:12:09 > 0:12:11There're quite a lot of goodies up here.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Quickly zip along. We've got little time.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20It's not going to be for us, guys, but certainly keep looking for this type of thing,
0:12:20 > 0:12:21- cos there is profit to had.- OK.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Look, small, useful...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27That is so heavy, is that a good sign?
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Well, it's bronze and it's on a very heavy marble base, but it's not period.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34It is a very, very good replica.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Oh, is it?- Otherwise, I think we would be talking
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- in terms of a couple of thousand, if not more.- Really? Right!
0:12:43 > 0:12:49Now, a lot of girls get very, very hot about the thought of a bit of jewellery, right?
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Well, if you presented this to one of those girls, I'm afraid they're going to be rather disappointed.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01Because this ring is made entirely of little bits of hair.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06It's a love token. If I take it out and I shove it on my pinkie,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09you can just begin to get
0:13:09 > 0:13:12a semblance of how, in miniature,
0:13:12 > 0:13:18somebody who was so in love with this girl who had the initials DM that,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I guess around 1790 to 1820,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27he set about creating a little love token for her.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32You can see quite clearly the initials, there and there.
0:13:32 > 0:13:40Then we've got some strands of blond hair which stand out from the auburn hair,
0:13:40 > 0:13:46but the miracle is, of course, that this thing has survived for 200 years.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51What would such an emotive and wonderful token cost you?
0:13:51 > 0:13:57Well, it's available quite cheaply at £125.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59A mere snip.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02But cutting it fine are our teams.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04We're running very close to the wind now.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Half their time gone, and they both have two items to find.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Charles Darwin's original pointer.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The trouble with this is, you need what's called provenance,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- such as a photograph, the person with the object... - Actually holding it. Yep.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Without the provenance, I think we're on a bit of a sticky wicket there.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Let's see what else we can find. - We'll bat on.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I think this is very good. Anything to do with railways is quite collectible.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Yes.- I was just going to say.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33It's not beautiful, is it?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Or practical!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I can see you're not impressed. Can you put it back?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Guys, what do you think about this photo frame, here?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- That looks interesting. - Are they a pair?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I think they are, yes. So, guys, I know you're both metal detectors.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Have you ever found anything as big as that in your treasure chest before?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Um, not quite as big.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59We certainty haven't found any ladies like that while we've been out metal-detecting.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Keep looking - you never know.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03What are they made out of, Nick?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Well, they are cast metal.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09It's not bronze. It's got a bronzed patination.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Now, stylistically, how do you rate it? Do you like the style of it?
0:15:13 > 0:15:14I could see that in a nice, posh house.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Yeah. The whole thing looks late Victorian to me.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22My gut feeling is it's probably later, made in the Victorian style.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26But again, they're decorative. Pairs of things always sell well, anyway.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- What do you think? - Let's see what the price is.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- £50 is the best. - You couldn't squeeze it?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Meet you in the middle at £45?- No.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I think we'll have to settle on £50.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- He's not going to budge any more. - No.- What do you think about that?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- That's fantastic. - You're going to go for that?- Yes.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Right, pay the man and let's get them wrapped.- Yep, job done.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Uh-huh.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52One more to go and still a couple of hundred smackers in the kitty.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Why don't we go and find a nice bit of Clarice, to wow the buyers at the sale?- That would make my day.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00That's 145. 25 minutes.
0:16:00 > 0:16:0325 minutes. Don't make me panicky.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04HE HYPERVENTILATES
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Yep, you sure do need to get your skates on.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- We'll have to do better than this.- We're usually good at spending money.- Yah.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Ideally, we're looking for a bit of Clarice Cliff.
0:16:14 > 0:16:20- Does that get anywhere near the mark for you?- Not for me.- No. We'll put that back, shall we?- Yep.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Oh, look, we've got more stalls, more stalls, fantastic!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I love it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's quite interesting.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Is that a Vesta?- Yes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35What's the very best you can do on that, please, sir?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'll do 40 on it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:3940. Right, that's something I think we can really bear in mind.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- That's quite a nice... - An interesting piece.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Your card cases, Sir, - how much are they?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46That one's £78.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- The date of that one is probably circa 1910.- Right.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- It's got a sort of velvet lining inside.- It's going a bit, isn't it?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Yes, but I would be at that age!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02But it's got quite a nice snap to it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Do you like that sort of thing - does that fill your criteria?- No.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- It doesn't.- What do we think, guys?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Can we have another little quick look around?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- You...- I know time's running out.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- We've got ten minutes left.- Yes. Can we just look at another stall?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Yes. Do a quick scan all the way around, then we need you to come back.- Yep, right, OK.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Okey-doke. Thank you.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25OK. Come on, move!
0:17:25 > 0:17:30There's a distinct lack of Clarice Cliff at this fair today.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34So we might need to revise our tactics a little bit.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Do not pick up unless you like, like, like.- No. OK, OK, OK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Let's head back up the way we came. There's an interesting stall with some nice glassware on there.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Do you like those? - Not for the price.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- I know, I know, I know.- £225.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50So, this was the stall I was talking about.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53There's some nice interesting coloured glassware on here.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- I quite like that one. - This is an interesting piece.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Do you mind if I have a look, sir? - No, not at all.- Thank you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Yeah, I mean, this is a nice piece of glassware.- Yes.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05What is it about it you like?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09I like the whole shape. And I like the pattern mark on it. It's a beautiful piece of glass.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Yeah. This would probably be Maltese, by a firm called Medina.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16And if we have a look, there may well be...
0:18:16 > 0:18:21In fact, it's got a little mark on there, Malta glass.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Now, a lot of this Maltese glass is almost identical to the Isle of Wight glass,
0:18:25 > 0:18:29cos it was the same designer, hopped from one factory to the other.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34A chap called Harris. There are collectors for Medina glass.
0:18:34 > 0:18:41It's starting to roll, pricewise. It is not making a great deal of money yet, but if the price is right...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Is there a price on it?- There isn't.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45How much are you asking for this bit of glass, sir?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I think I was asking 22 for that.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- I think, for a piece of this size, we need to get that down to leave any profit in there.- OK.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57How flexible are you on the price?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Um...
0:19:01 > 0:19:02How about 15?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- How about 10?- 12?
0:19:04 > 0:19:0611?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Deal.- Good man.- Thank you.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10You're brilliant.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12You're very good at that. A natural.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Mean-spirited, some might say.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- So you're happy with that? - Yes, I am.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17So, that's our third thing. £11.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I think on the day we'll have collectors there
0:19:20 > 0:19:23and there'll be a slim, but a positive profit in there.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- OK.- Well done, guys. Good work done.- Thank you.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31I wish I could say the same for the reds, they still need two bargains.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- How much is this?- I'll do you 75.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I bought it last night at 50.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I like those. Are they actually postcards?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45They are greeting cards, so these would have been sent at Christmas or Easter.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Oh, look at the poor little mice going in there, and it says,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- "Wishing you a merry Christmas". - "I haven't got anything."
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Oh, these are beautifully done.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57It's 137, yeah, there is some really nice ones.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Very typical of Kate Greenaway. Very typical.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Do people buy it and break it up?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I would be inclined to keep it as it is.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Pussycats.- Do you like pussycats?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- I do. I love cats. - That's my little Algie at home.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I have one at home too, but he's not like that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I do like that, David.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19But would you come down to round it off at 70?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23No, but I'll tell you what I've got on it...
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Could you do it at 70?- It cost me 50. Go on, then, I'll do it at 70.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Well done, thank you so much. Fantastic.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- That's lovely, isn't it, David? - What do you think?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Yes, yes?- I like it. - I do. Second item.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Oh, look at this guy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- It's old-feeling.- We're all going moist here over these cards.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46We've gone for ephemera today.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49All three of you are going moist here with these cards.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51There's little pussycats in here.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Your favourites. - Yes, little pussycats.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56These are in lovely condition.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57You've actually bought it,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00which is great. What else have you bought?
0:21:00 > 0:21:06Well, we have brought a collection of studio magazines, 1902 to 1905.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09You know you only have five minutes to go, don't you?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- What are you talking to us for? - You're holding us up!
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Well, we stopped the clock for this chat, but it's going again. You better get on with it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Ooh, I love setting the cat amongst the...
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Right, the mother of pearl card case, it's that or the one downstairs...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Or the crumb thing.- Yes. Now which?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- What are you going for?- I prefer the Art Nouveau crumb catcher.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38I think I would, but I would like it for a bit less money, but I don't think she'll come down.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42We've only got four minutes!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Oh, my.- Is it still there? - Oh, my. Oh, my!
0:21:51 > 0:21:52She hasn't. We're back.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It was just the price.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Can you please, please, please, come down slightly less?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- We have two minutes to go. - We've got two minutes to go.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Can you come down, please? A little bit less on that.- Please.- Please.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- 70.- 70?- That's it?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- That is it? Really?- Yes.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- That's it then. Fantastic.- Deal.
0:22:14 > 0:22:21That's it. They've found their bargains, so let's now recap on what the reds have bought.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Susan and Belinda made an early start
0:22:24 > 0:22:28with the Studio magazines at £40.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3045 minutes later,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35the 19th century card album came in at a cool 70 smackers.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37And with minutes to go,
0:22:37 > 0:22:41they begged for a good price on the Liberty crumb scoop.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43That's pretty good, you're on a bit of a roll.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Oh, yes. Loved it. Yes, we've had a fab time.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47How much did you spend overall, again?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51£140 was it or something?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Something like that. - Well, I've got £120 left.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58You must have spent £180. Are you sure about this, girls, are you?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- No, I haven't counted it. - You've had such a good time.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- We have, yes.- I was with you for the album. You bought that album,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- so you're pretty bullish about that. - Yes.- What was your final item?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09The Art Nouveau crumb scooper.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Which was by Archibald Knox.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Which you can't afford to be without.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Can you?- Every household needs one.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Don't say that. Everybody should have one.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Everybody wants a bit of Archibald Knox. Anyway, there we go, then.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Thank you very much.- £120.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- What are you going to do with that, old fruit?- They first had the idea
0:23:27 > 0:23:30that they wanted something decorative and very practical.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Keep doing that.- We would you like you to make a whopping great profit.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- That's all we care about. - There's the rub!
0:23:35 > 0:23:40OK, girls, OK, David, good luck. Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the blues bought?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Richard and Neil went for more modern stuff.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Kicking off with a £52 reproduction silver snuff box.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Next to catch their eye was a fine pair of frames,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55in the Victorian style.
0:23:55 > 0:24:03And finally, they went for a 70s Maltese vase for a colossal £11.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Did you have a good time? - Brilliant, thank you.- Good.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07So, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:07 > 0:24:12- The snuff box.- The snuff box is your favourite.- The vase.- OK, the vase.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- I think the vase. - You think the vase.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- How much did you spend overall? - £113.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22£113. So that means I want £187.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Well then, 187, there we go.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Straight across to Nick. That's a reasonable sum to go for, isn't it?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- We should be all right with that. We'll find some nice little gems for you.- I do hope so.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- You've had a nice time, that's the main thing.- Marvellous. - Well done, boys, and good luck.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42But first, we're going to head off into the countryside, to a delicious mansion called Rode Hall.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53I've come deep into the heart of Cheshire, to Rode Hall
0:24:53 > 0:25:01where generation after generation of the Wilbraham family have grown up and by golly, crikey,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05how well-connected these Wilbrahams are.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12In the late 18th century, one guest at the house was the potter Josiah Wedgwood.
0:25:15 > 0:25:23He had just perfected the making of a black earthenware named after the volcanic rock, basalt
0:25:23 > 0:25:28and arrived clutching a rather special parcel for his hosts.
0:25:28 > 0:25:34It's a portrait bust of the greatest bard of all that Britain produced, William Shakespeare,
0:25:34 > 0:25:40and the material is indeed this new luxury miraculous ceramic product
0:25:40 > 0:25:46of the genius Josiah Wedgwood - black basalt.
0:25:46 > 0:25:52The discoveries at Pompeii, were revealing quantities of black Roman pottery
0:25:52 > 0:25:57and this would have been an extremely smart and desirable colour.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02This bust is modelled after an original by John Cheere.
0:26:02 > 0:26:09So the original by Cheere would be sculpted out of a solid block of marble and be extremely expensive.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14What Wedgwood was able to do, by talking a mould from the original,
0:26:14 > 0:26:24he could reproduce in this dense black clay almost limitless numbers of these busts for a large market.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30The other exceptional feature about this bust is that if we look behind,
0:26:30 > 0:26:36just above the base, you can make out the initials, JW.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Those indicate that this bust was one of the first produced
0:26:41 > 0:26:45and likely to have been finished by Josiah Wedgwood himself,
0:26:45 > 0:26:53which makes it very, very important and lovely, of course, to see it surviving here at Rode to this day.
0:26:53 > 0:27:00Of course, the big question today is, are our teams over at the auction, likely to go bust?
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Well, whatever happens, they'll be busting to hear auctioneer James Lewis's estimates.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11First, though, the experts have been hunting for their bonus buy, so what did David Barby spot?
0:27:12 > 0:27:17So, girls, you spent £180, giving David £120. What did he spend it on?
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Oh!
0:27:22 > 0:27:25That is lovely, David, honestly.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28That is a dreadful thing. Your reaction was so spontaneous(!)
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Tell me about them. - These are Russian.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- OK.- I like Russian.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Silver. Silver gilt spoons.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41They date to the latter part of the 19th century, they are engraved,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44with this lovely spiral detail all the way around.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46They are nice, David.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48When you say silver gilt?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51They are silver with a wash of gold on top.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56It is what you expect with something Russian and valuable, but these are rather special items.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I think I like them.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I'm getting to... The more you talk about them, I'm warming to them.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05So, the big question, how much?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I paid £70 for these.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Do you think we will make a profit?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13If the right buyer is there, yes!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Yes!- OK.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18You don't have to decide right now, you decide after the
0:28:18 > 0:28:23sale of your first three items, but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the Russian spoons.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Now, James, the Russian spoons?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29They are very, very pretty.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32The Russian market has done so well recently.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I just wish they were in one of our big antique and fine art sales,
0:28:35 > 0:28:40rather than the general, I think that might affect them slightly. I've put £40 to £60 on them.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Oh, dear, poor David Barby will be hysterical about that, he spent £70.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47You know, I think they're worth it, I just think that they should be in an
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- antique sale instead of a general. - But very nice to have six, and in their kind of original box too.- Yes.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- So I think he's done well with it. - I do.- We just have to stand by.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00Now, Susan and Belinda and David Barby have gone with The Studios.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01- There are 12 of them.- Yes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04It is a classic reference book, isn't it?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08It is, but I find that with almost all of these reference works, whether they are
0:29:08 > 0:29:11The Studio or anything else, that people are not using them as much,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13they are using the internet as a reference
0:29:13 > 0:29:20- work and therefore book shelf space is not required, really.- Oh, dear. - So, a bit of a downer to start with.
0:29:20 > 0:29:26It is, because on my book shelves, I've got a complete set of The Studio, 27 years' worth of
0:29:26 > 0:29:32these magazines, which I've been hanging on to, and I do refer to, but, OK, I'm a dinosaur.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34I got the message.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- What do you think they are worth? - £20 to £30.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40£40 they paid, so they might get there. So that's OK, they may just get there.
0:29:40 > 0:29:48Next is the wee scrap book, stuffed with nice lithographic cards. It's a good set, isn't it?
0:29:48 > 0:29:52It's a great set, that, I really, really love it. It's a great album. I really like it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- And it's in good nick.- It is. - And complete.- Yes.- Very good.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57So, how much do you think?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Well, I've put £60 to £100 on it, but we do have a telephone bid. - Do you?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Well, I won't tell the teams that. They paid £70.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08- I think that's got a good chance. - That could be a little squeaker, couldn't it? It could go quite well.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Lastly, a really useless, but very stylish object, the crumb scoop.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Another great lot, I really like it. It's Archibald Knox, it's Liberty, it's got all the right marks on it,
0:30:17 > 0:30:21I think we have four bids on it already and telephone interest again.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22- Ooh.- So, well done Red team.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Well, of course it ain't happened until it's actually happened.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28But I'm confident.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- So, what's your estimate? Full of confidence.- £60 to £100.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34OK, £70 they paid. It might make £120.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- It would be nice.- Very nice.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- It seems to me that they have three quite passable lots.- Yes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues, Richard and Neil.
0:30:45 > 0:30:52Their first item is the reproduction silver snuff box, which on the face of it looks brilliant, doesn't it?
0:30:52 > 0:30:56But I can't see anybody really falling in love with that.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- £30 to £50.- Well, £52 paid, it's on the cusp, isn't it?
0:31:01 > 0:31:02It's got a chance.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08At something like £60 or £80, I could see somebody having a bit of a tickle at it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:14Next is the pair of photo frames, which look like bronze but they ain't, are they?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17No, they're cast iron. 20 years ago I used to sell these and sell them very well.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Now they are very hard.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25I would be very surprised if they made more than £30 for a pair.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- £50 paid.- I think that is too much.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- That's going to be a problem.- Yeah. - Lastly, they have their Mdina
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Which I always find confusing, because you have Mdina on Malta,
0:31:34 > 0:31:40which produced this stuff, then you the Medina glass works on the Isle of Wight which produced very similar
0:31:40 > 0:31:45things and they sound the same. Presumably, that's the Maltese type.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Yep.- Well, that could be a Malteser then. How much?
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Gosh, you know...
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Is it worth a fiver?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53- Maybe.- £5 or £10.- £5 or £10.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56There you go, they paid £11.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00We seem to have nothing there that has real potential?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- No.- Not real potential to take off.
0:32:02 > 0:32:08On that basis, they are definitely going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:15So, Richard and Neil, you spent £113, giving Nicholas £187 of leftover lolly.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20- What did you blow it on, Nick? - How about Spurs? What do you
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- think about that?- Lovely. - You like that? - That's beautiful, yeah.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27I think it's probably late 17th or early 18th century,
0:32:27 > 0:32:33Spanish in origin, obviously it would have been one of a pair, but it's a rare thing.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34It is lovely , isn't it?
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- Hmm.- It is the sort of thing I would like to dig up.- How much did you spend on that?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41A lowly £40 only.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43It's a lot of history for £40, don't you think?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Yep. Yep.- Definitely.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47What do you think it will make?
0:32:47 > 0:32:51I would hope we're looking at maybe £60 to £80.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I'm pleased with that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Very pleased. Yes. Good choice.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Anyway you don't decide right now, you possibly pick it later
0:32:58 > 0:33:03if you want to, but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the spur.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07James, here we go, look. Something to sharpen up your equestrian skills.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09The most obvious problem is it's only one.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13It is like candlesticks and everything else, you really want to see a pair of them,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15but it is 17th century, it's a lovely piece of history.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19So, how much do you think they are worth as a Spanish relic?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- I would say £30 to £50.- Brilliant, £40 was paid. So, Nick has done well?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I think so. I think there is a profit, there. There should be.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28If the team decides to take it.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- I would.- Yes, I know you would, but will they?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35We'll find out about that in a moment. Thanks, James.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Susan and Belinda, now, are you excited?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Absolutely!
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- Yes.- How excited are you?- Terribly! - Are you?
0:33:53 > 0:33:59We have got some stuff to be really optimistic about, depending on how the market is here today.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02First up, then is the art magazine, here comes The Studios.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07Lot 804, the 12 Studio art magazines, great reference works,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10where should I start them? £20.
0:34:10 > 0:34:1220 bid. 22 now.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16At 20 and 2 do I see? 22. 25.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- Come one.- No at 22 here. 25 anywhere?
0:34:20 > 0:34:26At £22 seated on the aisle, don't give me that look, David Barby.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27I don't like that look.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30£22. 25 anywhere?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34At 22. Are we done? 25. 28. 28.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3828 and 30. Come on, Cyril. 30, 32.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Give him some stick. 32, well done. 34.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- 33.- Come on.- Yes.
0:34:44 > 0:34:4633. 34.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48It's going for a good cause, go on.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Will you treat him to a pint?- Yes!
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- 34, yes, 34.- Whoo-hoo!
0:34:53 > 0:34:5735? On the isle at 34.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Any advance? Well done.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- Minus £6.- That was a struggle. He did well.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04There's not much beer in minus £6.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- I'm disappointed.- We did well, though.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10This is a great album. Some wonderful cards in here.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Where shall we start it?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I have one absentee bid,
0:35:15 > 0:35:20but I'll start it at £60 and 5 do I see?
0:35:20 > 0:35:2365 on the phone. 70, 5.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25On the phone at 75.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28At 75 it is a good album.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- 75, 80 anyone?- It's worth more.
0:35:30 > 0:35:3280 in the room, do you want?
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- 80, sir, well done in the aisle at 80.- Yes!- 5.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Go on, one more? Persuade him.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- How good are you? - He doesn't want it.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48Thank you very much. On the aisle it's selling, it is yours at £80.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52That is plus £10. Well, we got there. We made a profit.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54There is nothing wrong with that. Now the crumb scoop.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Liberty and Co.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Liberty & Co crumb tray designed by Archibald Knox.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03I can start the bidding at £60 and 5 now. At 65.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0675.
0:36:06 > 0:36:1285. 90 and 5, 95 in the room. 100 now.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Yes!- At 95 and 100 where?
0:36:16 > 0:36:21At 95, do I see 100? At £95, any advance? With you at 95.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- Yours sir.- Oh, we did alright. That was good.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- That was OK.- Plus £25 so that was very good.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34So, you are... Let me see, 25 you are plus £29 up.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36That is a very nice position to be in.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39What are you going to do about the tea spoons?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42I would say no. What do you say?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I don't think so, either.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47The decision has to be yours.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- I would say no. - We're going to say no.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Are we going to kick ourselves?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- We'll say no.- Our decision is no.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56It is, is it? For certain?
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- Yes.- Here we are, the set of six Russian silver gilt tea spoons
0:37:01 > 0:37:03and 1, 2, 3, bids on it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08£38 starts it, 38. 40. 5.
0:37:08 > 0:37:1250. 5. 60 takes it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15With me at 55. At 55. 58 where?
0:37:15 > 0:37:20In the cap. £55, anyone else?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- Good decision, girls.- Great!
0:37:24 > 0:37:27THEY HUM A TUNE
0:37:29 > 0:37:34Gosh, that's quite a reaction. Anyway, that is minus £15.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- You did make the right decision, which is very good.- Yes.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43You have preserved your profit of £29 - you're £29 up.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Now the big thing is now, don't tell a word to the Blues.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47- No. Straight faces.- Well done, girls.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49It could be a winning score.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- So, Richard and Neil, have you been talking to the Reds?- No.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Not at all.- Good.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Let's run through your lot, shall we?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03The castle top box.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08£52 paid, you loved it, £30 to £50 is its estimate.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I should be disappointed if you don't wipe your faces on it.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16For that little lump of silver, even though it is new, so what, it's a nice thing.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22- The bronze photo frames, £50 paid for those, he has put £20 to £30. That is disappointing.- Hmm.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27The little bit of glass, you can't lose much, you only paid £11 on it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29He put £5 to £10 on it. You'll get £5 to £10, you won't make that much
0:38:29 > 0:38:35profit. But what you have got to look forward to is the Spanish spur if you decide to go with that.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Brilliantly found by Nick.- Mm-hm.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Anyway. First up is the castle-top snuff box, here it comes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46826 is the silver castle top snuff box.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49The manner of Nathaniel Mills, but a 20th century version,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51and where shall we start that?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53£30 for it with me. £30,
0:38:53 > 0:38:5532, do I see? 32.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5932 with the lady. 35.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0338. 40 and 2. 45. 50.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- 50 and 5, 60.- Yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- 60 has it against the absentee bid.- Good.- At £60 and 5 now.
0:39:09 > 0:39:16At 60, any advance? 62 if it helps, at 60 and selling. Yours.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Plus 8. Very good. Lovely. - Good start.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23So, will the same thing happen with these frames? Here we go.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Photograph frames, circa, 1895.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Vaguely art nouveaux in style.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30That transitional period.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I can start the bidding at £25.
0:39:33 > 0:39:3725, 28 do I see? At 25 and 8 now.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39At 25, absentee bid.
0:39:39 > 0:39:4125, 28 do I see?
0:39:41 > 0:39:4428, competition by the door. 30 with me. 32 for you.
0:39:44 > 0:39:4732 by the door.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49At £32 and 5, do I see.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51At £32 and selling.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Anybody else?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Come on. Bad luck.
0:39:55 > 0:40:0232 minus 18, which means, overall you are minus 10.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04So down to the Mdina vase.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09828, the 1970s Maltese Mdina studio
0:40:09 > 0:40:12glass vase, £20 for it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15It's a stylish-looking vase,
0:40:15 > 0:40:19£15 then, who wants it for 15?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21You would have to go to Malta to get another.
0:40:21 > 0:40:2610 then. Oh, come on. £10, someone.
0:40:26 > 0:40:2810! Thank you, kind lady, at £10.
0:40:28 > 0:40:3111 do I see? 11. 12.
0:40:31 > 0:40:3413. 14.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- 15.- Gosh.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3814.50!
0:40:38 > 0:40:4114.50!
0:40:41 > 0:40:4615. 15.50, sure. At £15, well done. Yours!
0:40:46 > 0:40:50£15, brilliant. That is four. Overall you are minus six.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Very good. You could stick at that or go with the spur. What do you want to do?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- We have decided to go with the spur. - You like that spur, yes?- Yes.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- You really rate it, you metal detectorists!- Yes!
0:41:02 > 0:41:07So, we're definitely going with the bonus buy, we're going with the spur, here it comes.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09It's a really interesting lot this one.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14It's the 17th century steel Spanish spur.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Circa 1660 in date.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I can start the bidding at £32.
0:41:18 > 0:41:2035 now. At 32, 35 anyone?
0:41:20 > 0:41:2632, 35 back. 38, 40. 42 now.
0:41:26 > 0:41:33At £40, very back. 42, it's worth more than that. At £40. Is that it?
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- At 40 and selling at £40. Anybody else?- (Come on.)
0:41:38 > 0:41:42£40 wiped its face. No profit no loss.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45No pain, no shame.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Overall you are minus six.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49That might be a winning score, just don't talk to the Reds, OK?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- OK.- All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- What excitement, eh? Been chatting have we, about the scores at all?- No.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- No, not at all.- No well, there we go. Unfortunately on Bargain Hunt,
0:42:03 > 0:42:07somebody has to the runners up, and the runners up today are the Blues.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12I mean minus £6 is the overall score.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17You went with the spur, you thought you were going to go somewhere with it, it went and wiped its face.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Which was disappointing, I have to say, but the victors today, to whom
0:42:21 > 0:42:25I'm going to give money, I have to say...
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- They're winning to the extent of taking home cash. - Thank you so much.- Is it all there?
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- No. There you go, there is your change.- Thank you.
0:42:31 > 0:42:38Brilliant. £29 is your victor's total. You fortunately did not go with the bonus,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41but you preserved your £29. Which was so clever of you.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46I'm so pleased you are going home with your £14.50 each,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48which is a good number. Anyway, we've had a great day.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Any way, join us soon with some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:51 > 0:42:53ALL: Yes!
