0:00:05 > 0:00:10Today we're in Edinburgh, a city renowned for its arts festivals.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14But will today's teams be virtuoso performers?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18It's time to find out. Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:44 > 0:00:48The city plays host to all sorts of international events,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50ranging from the Edinburgh Festival
0:00:50 > 0:00:55to the Fringe, but today it's home to an antiques fiesta.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Let's have a preview of the performances to come.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03On today's show, the Reds get forceful.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I'm the stick-in-the-mud here.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08You can stick in the mud all you like, I'm having this.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Ha! And the Blues resort to trickery.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Which hand is the ladybird in, madam?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Before all that, though, let's get acquainted with the teams.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Today on this show it's full of glow,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24because we've got two teams of best mates.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Fiona and Alison for the Reds,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- and Nancy and Mary for the Blues. Hello, everyone.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Good to see you. Now, Fifi, how did you two meet?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I met Alison on our daughters' first day at school.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39They had a staggered intake,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and Alison and I actually arrived a day early.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- That's staggering.- Yes. At least we weren't a day late, I suppose.- Yeah.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So we've been best friends ever since.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And, obviously, we used to always keep in touch to make sure
0:01:52 > 0:01:57we'd got the right day for school days, assemblies and sports days.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01It's a lovely way to become friends, and you kept it up, which is lovely.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- You're particular keen on photography, I'm told.- Yes, I love taking photos.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Basically, black and white. I used to develop my own.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14Mainly take photographs of trees and bicycles and broke fences.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- I bet they're beautiful - and fun to do.- They are fun. Really enjoy it. - And Alison,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22you describe your job as "Christmas Day every day". What do you do?
0:02:22 > 0:02:28It is. I work for Marie Curie, so I'm the person that goes through all the donations as they arrive.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- In the charity shop?- In the charity shop.- Gosh.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35You never know what's going to arrive. Sometimes you get a big bin bag and you think,
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- it's just old clothes, then there's lots of vases and objects wrapped up in old rags.- Very exciting.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It is like Christmas every day. It's a super job.
0:02:43 > 0:02:50- You must be a tremendous collector yourself if you work in the charity shop.- I am a one in, one out person.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I will buy something and covet it for a while and then, unfortunately,
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- I think, no, I need something else, and it goes back into the charity shop.- Does it?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03But what I do, all my summer clothes I put in the charity shop and then buy them all back.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Because I use it as storage.- You're a minimalist, are you?- Very minimalist.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I have one thing for a while, then trade it in for something else.- What about you, Fifi?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Are you a great collector?- I'm the slight opposite.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19I like to collect everything and hoard it, much to my children's disgust.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23An interesting contrast, whatever's going to happen when you get out there.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- But lovely to meet you and good luck. - Thank you.- Now, girls, this is fun, isn't it?- Yes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30How did you first meet, Nancy?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Well, I got a job with the railway in 1974,
0:03:35 > 0:03:41at the office in Glasgow, and I met Mary, that's 40 years ago now,
0:03:41 > 0:03:46and we just clicked. I don't have a sister, but if I did have one,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- well, she'd be my first choice.- Ohh. - Funny how it works out like that.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53So you shared the same sort of jobs for a bit.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- At the beginning, yes.- Yes.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What do you do now, in your retirement?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Well, I've always played the drums and...- You never?
0:04:01 > 0:04:06I play in a samba band. Well, I play in two samba bands,
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- which I really enjoy. We were in Britain's Got Talent.- Mm-hm.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- How did you get on?- Yes, we got through.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- We were in the show that Susan Boyle won.- Oh, right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- So, no competition there, but... - HE LAUGHS
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Everybody thought we were great,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- but Piers Morgan thought we made a racket.- Did he?- Never liked him.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- Got no taste, that's the trouble. - Never liked him.- No taste when it comes to percussion anyway.- No.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36- So, Mary, what do you do to make ends meet?- When I worked alongside Nance in the railway,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I did ten years with British Rail,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42and then I left there because my husband set up a little business.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- I went to work alongside him.- Mm-hm.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- And, unfortunately, that resulted in me being fired.- Oh dear.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- He fired me.- Never.- Because I talked too much.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Did you get redundancy off him?- No, no.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57We reckoned it was a very fair dismissal.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- So you moved on to what?- I went away, poles apart,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05and became an auxiliary nurse in Western Infirmary in Glasgow.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And I work in the Orthopaedic Outpatients Department,
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- and we just call it the fracture clinic.- Yeah, they're all limping around.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18So will you be looking for damaged goods today, seeing as how you're so good at broken stuff?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Maybe jewellery. And over the years we've just,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23that's what we're drawn to. Magpies.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Now tell us about this necklace. Is it Sixties?- Yes, it is.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I just liked all the lovely colours
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and I got it from a lady at the antique fair.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- What, here?- Yes.- You know your way around then, don't you?
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- Oh, a regular.- And Mary, what about yours?- Mine is circa 2012.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- From York.- Yes.- But I did like it. - Brilliant. Now, the money moment.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Here you go, £300 apiece. There's your £300.- Thank you.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50You know the rules. Your experts await - and off you go.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56On the case for the Reds today...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And hoping he can get the maths right for the Blues, it's...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- I feel really secure.- Good.- I feel really robust
0:06:07 > 0:06:09between two fine ladies.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Do you see a common ground with regards to taste and outlook here?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15No, we have absolutely nothing in common.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Something will catch our eye, I hope, and make us lots and lots
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- of money with your expertise.- I like the sounds of that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- At the moment we're in a garage but you're armed with your stick.- I am indeed.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- So we can launch ourselves when the deal needs sealing?- Definitely.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Whatever takes your fancy, you know, just zoom into.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oh, wow.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- A crystal chandelier. You're looking at hard work there, frankly.- OK.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Oh, the Scottie dog, Mary. Look. Isn't that lovely?- Are you dog lovers?- Yes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Have you got dogs.- Yes.- Yes. - Just like that.- Just like that.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- It is a brooch. It's only £9. - Isn't that sweet.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It's almost like a Bakelite, or early plastic.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- Chrome plate. You know, you've got £300 to spend.- I know.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09You, to me, look big spenders. You know, you look big spenders.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13He's right, Blues, so spend, spend, spend!
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Let's go down here, I think.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18And while the Reds get their hands dirty with the washboard...
0:07:18 > 0:07:19£15?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I'm the stick-in-the-mud here.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25You can stick in the mud all you like. We're having this, Fiona.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- Alison...- Yes, we're having it. - Let's have the conversation so we know...- Let's listen to Paul.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It could be quite early. It could be a Victorian one.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's certainly no later than early 20th century. It's a washboard.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41A skiffle band ones are galvanised steel, aren't they,
0:07:41 > 0:07:46this element here. This is a glass one. I think those are better by far.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And they're scrubbing boards for the younger generation.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52You've got your, probably your dolly tub, your galvanised tub
0:07:52 > 0:07:54with your dirty laundry.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57You've got that sitting in the basin.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- It's one step up from beating them with stones in the river.- Yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- How much do you think it would make? - Everything crossed, you might get ten or 20 quid for it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- And we're going to an auction in the city of the wash house.- Glasgow. I suppose you've got a point.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- So I think...- She's not taking no for an answer.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- We should pop over and speak to this chap.- Go for it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23- If I pick one, you pick one, then we might agree on another one.- OK.- OK.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28All in agreement, then? Can she be as persuasive with the vendor, though?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I have got us a bargain. £5. I know you'll be delighted with this.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Oh, my goodness.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38It's great. Social history, a fiver, sounds all right to me.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Perfect.- I'd buy it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Well done. Well, you did.- I did.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Never in doubt, was it? The first of three, and in double-quick time.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Now, will our bubbly Blues pop their corks over this next find?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Do you want glitz?- Yes.- Do you want glamour?- Yes.- Look at those.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- They are champagne coolers. They are 1920s, German...- Do you have to buy them as a pair?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04There's three actually. There's one for you, one for Nancy and one for me.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- How much are they, sir?- All three together?- Yeah.- Best price 900.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09THEY GASP
0:09:09 > 0:09:12So we can only afford one. That's no good, is it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That will have to remain on ice for now.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It seems, though, the Reds have worked up a thirst too.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19A retro coffee-maker.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- I love the shape and the style.- It's a Cona.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I suspect mid-20th century.- Right. - 1940.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30But short of it being an ornament for your retro kitchen,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I just don't think it's got a big audience.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- £50.- It's £50. OK, thank you. - It's a bit steep.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It's worth a park, maybe, at the moment.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Wise words, Paul. Plenty of time - and cash - left.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Back to the Blues, who've come across something with both form and function.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- That's pretty.- Practical.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51You could use that for letters.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54"Art nouveau letter rack. £24."
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- Is that silver, Charles?- I wish it was silver.- It looks it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01And so does he as well.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Silver-plate. If that were silver,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06it'd be worth probably three or £400.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Yes, I thought it was cheap.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Because it's novel. It's almost a return to nature.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18- It's a return to the foliate forms - - Yes -- of almost the Arts and Crafts.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21And taking nature for what it is in design.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- You know what the next question's going to be?- 24, is that your best?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- No, I could do it for 20.- £20?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32If it came into auction I would love to really be starting off at £15.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- 18.- 18 there.
0:10:34 > 0:10:3618. 15?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- 16.- That's a great price.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- I think that's a great price.- Shall we go for that?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48So you can now, if you're both happy, seal the deal.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Right.- Yes.- Happy, Nance?- Happy. - Yes, we're happy.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- Are you happy with that?- Yes, thank you very much.- Shake his hand.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Thank you, sir.- Sold.
0:10:58 > 0:11:04Great work, teams. That's one item apiece. Time now to focus on the Reds.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- Ah, wow.- A Bakelite camera.- Yeah. - You're a photographer.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I've got a camera like this in the house and a few box Brownies.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I collect old cameras. They don't go for much,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18but it's more people like displaying them cos they look cool.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I love the fact it's Bakelite rather than another leather-clad one.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It was the first plastic camera produced by Kodak, don't you know?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- I'd have that as a decoration rather than using it.- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- I mean, do you want it?- I don't know. What do you think, Alison?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36It's horrible.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37- THEY LAUGH - Sorry.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- I just don't like -- Get off that fence.- I don't like it but I appreciate that...
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- No -- That you need to pick something that you really like.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- I like it.- I've already picked something I really like.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- Can I ask what your best price would be on this?- How much is it?- £40.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Er... 25 to you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Is there any way that could be a tenner?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Cos I think it's only worth ten or £20 at auction.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I tell you what. If you give me £15, I'll make £5 on it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10I think if it went for 15 we'd get something on it, do you not think?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- I'll get a fiver.- You get a fiver. And we might get a fiver.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- If you made a fiver and we made a fiver, then -- Have you just done a deal?- Yes.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22What do you think? God, we're not spending much money, are we?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Yeah, let's go for it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27A picture-perfect purchase. Item two done.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29While our teams continue shopping,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33let me show you something I discovered the last time I was here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36What do you know about gutta-percha?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Not so much? Well, it's a miracle rubbery substance
0:12:41 > 0:12:44first introduced to Britain in the 19th century.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Think rubber tree in Malaysia, scratching the outside,
0:12:48 > 0:12:53the milky-like fluid that is secreted is gathered in the little tin.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57And when it's exposed to the air it coagulates.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Reheat it in hot water and you can then mould gutta-percha
0:13:01 > 0:13:04into practically any shape.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09And in 1848, the first golf ball was made
0:13:09 > 0:13:12out of this miracle rubbery stuff.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Very swiftly these gutties, as they came to be known,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18replaced the earlier feathery golf balls,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21which were much more expensive to make,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25and for the next 50 years golf was played with little balls like this.
0:13:25 > 0:13:32If we scroll forward to 1860, there's a character called Hamlet Nicholson,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35who's a cobbler in Oldham, who used previously gutta-percha
0:13:35 > 0:13:42to sole shoes, he patented the first gutta-percha cricket ball,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46of which this is an example.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51What are they worth? Well, I reckon that an early golf ball collector
0:13:51 > 0:13:54would pay between 40 and £60 for the golf ball,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56and the cricket ball is a little rarer,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and maybe worth perhaps 50 to 100.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01The total cost, £2.50.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05How's that for a hole-in-one?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Now back to the shopping.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Are the blues pinning their hopes on these Lea Stein brooches?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- To me they're like boiled sweets. - Wrong.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Always thinking with your stomach, Charles.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Tell me about them.- They're French, and I believe it's a process
0:14:21 > 0:14:24they go through. They go way back.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28So these really evocative, colourful pendants-come-brooches,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- I mean to me they capture the bold colours of the Eighties.- Mm-hm.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35But the frog, Charles. I'm partial to frogs.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Are you really? I could imagine that doing quite well in a sale room.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Just because it's going to be a talking point.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48It's an unusual piece. I haven't seen a frog before, I must admit.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- But I do like that.- It's, what, plastic?- Yes, it's plastic.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- OK. And the designer is?- Lea Stein.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Based in?- France.- France, OK.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- It's £55.- Mm.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02But is that the best price?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- I can do it for 50.- Ooh, 50.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Would you come down to 40?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I can't do 40. No, I'm sorry.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12No? Will you do two for 80?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15That's it, Nancy, use the old two-in-one tack.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- I like the ladybird.- The ladybird's beautiful.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Not keen, Charles?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- The frog and the ladybird for 80.- I can do 85.
0:15:23 > 0:15:2585? Right.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29If I said to you, guess which hand the ladybird is in,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33and if you get it wrong it's 85. And if I get it right it's 80.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Hello. Carlos is up to his old tricks too.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- OK, are you ready?- Good, Charles.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- Are you ready?- Yep, yep.- Let's hope the lady picks the wrong hand.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45OK. Which hand is the ladybird in, madam?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- That one.- And if you get it right we'll pay £85.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Are you sure?- Yes.- Are you positive? - Yes.- You want to try again?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Sorry, team. You've got it. - THEY LAUGH
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Nice try, Charlie. Mind you, £85 is not so bad for two sweet brooches.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06If there's one lady who can sell them, it has to be Anita Manning.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09So if you're gung-ho, I'm gung-ho.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12With a burden of frog, I say let's go for it.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Beautifully modelled, Charles. Well, from the ridiculous to the sublime.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23Wow. I would have that on my table, look.
0:16:23 > 0:16:30You are holding rather a stunning cruet set and stand in silver.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31That'll be pricey, I think.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Look at the quality of these cast elements here.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37We've got wreaths and shelves and canvass scrolls.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- It's 365.- We can't afford that. While I see the quality,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I don't know who'd buy that.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It's a shame how things fall out of favour, isn't it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You're on the right lines, though, Reds.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52One more item to find and we've got
0:16:52 > 0:16:55the grand sum of time left of 15 minutes.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Oh, no.- That's a long time.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59How cool are these Blues?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Also short on time but big on cash, it appears the Reds
0:17:02 > 0:17:04have stopped for refreshment.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06How old might it be?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I haven't a clue, to be honest. It's just got character.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- If I said that was 100 year old, would you be impressed?- Very.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- It's not.- How old is it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- About 260 year old.- Good...
0:17:17 > 0:17:22The opaque twist, dated about 1750, 1760.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Wow.- And an incredibly clever technique.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31- You have milk glass, white glass, rods or canes.- Mm-hm.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- And you assemble them in a little bunch.- Mm-hm.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38And then you float those in molten clear glass
0:17:38 > 0:17:41and make a clear rod with these other opaque rods
0:17:41 > 0:17:43running through it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47You then soften it again and start to turn that and twist it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53And you will introduce a spiral, very complex process.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56The glass itself is in three elements.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Cos you've got to make the stem, and I've told you how complex that is.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04You then blow the bowl and unite the two, and then you make the foot.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08This is gorgeous. I think we might have found our third item.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Well, have you seen the price yet? - No, I haven't.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You don't get this for nothing.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- £240.- Is there any slack in your price there?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Yes, there is.- Are you with me...
0:18:18 > 0:18:21What do you think the auction estimate is on it.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- 150 to 250.- Yes, that's all right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Being sensible, I can do 180 on it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I can see this taking a while.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31So let's see what the Blues are doing with their time.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35It's a lovely silver sheet metal embossed mantle clock.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- It's a bit damaged.- Oh, dear, you're right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Mary, you're right. That's knocked it for me.- What a shame.- I know.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- What's the best price on it?- My very best would be £40.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50If that wasn't gone, to me that's 100 to £150.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- What a shame.- And you just see the fall from grace when condition,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- sadly, takes priority over the object.- Mm-hm.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Hurry up then, Blues. Time and Bargain Hunt waits for no-one.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So, how are the Reds getting on with that cordial glass?
0:19:06 > 0:19:11The most I can give you for the glass, and I don't know what you paid for it or how long
0:19:11 > 0:19:17you've had it, the most I can give you, here and now, is 150, not 180.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Another £10. You can have it at 160.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- 155.- Are we doing it?- Yes.- 155?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29They want to shake at 155.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Oh, yes.- Thank you very much.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Just let me wipe the blood away first. - THEY LAUGH
0:19:36 > 0:19:42- Thank you.- That's it.- Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Great bargaining, team, for your third and final buy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Hey!- And spend some money. Get in. - Super.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51But what about our other cool and collected Celts?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55What's that nice amethyst and seed pearl pendant?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- This one?- Oh, that one?- This one?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Bring it round here, Nancy. - Right you are.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- What do you think of this? - Oh, I like all that.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Mary, do you like that? That's nice. Eye-catching.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09So you've got a central amethyst
0:20:09 > 0:20:11with some wonderful little seed pearls
0:20:11 > 0:20:14on what I presume is nine carats.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- And you can use it as a brooch as well.- Yes.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- Or a pendant.- It's sinuous, it's organic, it's art nouveau,
0:20:21 > 0:20:26it's neo-classical, it's ribbon-tied, it's feminine.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Mm-hm.- But it is 1910, it is Edwardian.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's very pretty.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- I like jewellery.- I love that. I do like it.- 175?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- It needs to be at a come-and-get-me price.- Yes.- Come and get me, madam.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41That's it, my boy. Work your magic.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Offer a price that's more than what I paid for it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Yes.- Exactly.- Of course.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51My best would be 150, or 149. I'll just go that pound under.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- You've got such style. I love the combination.- I think you're charming.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57HE LAUGHS
0:20:57 > 0:20:58I believe you're blushing.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02All the seed poles are there, it's stamped nine carat.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06The amethyst is brilliant, it's a big, oval cavachon.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Cut stone.- I think you could sell snowballs to the Eskimos.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12He certainly could.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Go for it.- Would you go for it? - I like a gamble.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Are you going to buy it? - Yes, we are.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- We'll take it. 149. Thank you so much.- Thank you.- We'll take it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27That's it, time's up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31The final curtain. Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35They cleaned up with The Glass Queen washboard bought for only £5.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Next they snapped up the Bakelite folding camera.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48And finally, at £155, the cordial glass became the toast of the town.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- How many bucks did you spend?- 175. - Not too bad.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- £125 of leftover lolly. Thank you. - There we go.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Any idea what you're going to spend it on?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Something that's going to turn 125 into more than 125.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- That is a relief - and so nice to hear.- I like that.
0:22:07 > 0:22:13Anyway, relax, girls. Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Not to be written off, they paid £16 for this Arts and Crafts letter rack.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23They paid £85 for two plastic-fantastic animal brooches
0:22:23 > 0:22:25by Lea Stein.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Finally they bought the amethyst and pearl pendant for a dazzling £149.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37- Now how much did you spend?- £250. - That is a proper amount, isn't it?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, good. I'd like £50 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45- Yes, thank you.- I'd say, Charles, from the sound of this you've not had a look-in, mate.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48No, Tim, it's been a hard one, Tim, a very hard one.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Well, you can get your own back now with the £50.- Thank you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I think, to reflect my team, it's going to be something really spicy
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- and something very sweet.- Ohh!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Listen, lovely to chat. Anyway, good luck, girls. Meanwhile,
0:23:01 > 0:23:06we're heading off to the home of one of Scotland's literary giants.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Abbotsford was Sir Walter Scott's dream home.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16This elaborate neo-Gothic castle was built from the proceeds of
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Scott's best-selling historical novels, which sold out
0:23:20 > 0:23:22as soon as they hit the shelves.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Scott's love of writing stemmed from his passion for history,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28and his nose for a good story.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31But his interest wasn't confined to events of the past.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34He kept a keen eye on history in the making, too.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40In the early 19th century, the name of one man was on everyone's lips.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44The deposed emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49A man who was regarded by some as a superhero,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and by others as a fiend.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56As far as Scott was concerned, he became increasingly fascinated
0:23:56 > 0:23:58and needed to lay his hands on
0:23:58 > 0:24:03as many artefacts associated with Napoleon as he possibly could,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06with a particular focus on the Battle of Waterloo.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13The Battle of Waterloo ended 23 years of warfare between Britain and France,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16which had cost millions of lives.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Scott was very patriotic and saw the French as a threat,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22but like many members of the British public at the time,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25he was attracted to Napoleon's charisma.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Napoleon had acquired a kind of celebrity cult status
0:24:30 > 0:24:33as a great and powerful, but flawed, man.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You might have wondered quite how Sir Walter Scott,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41a writer in the Scottish Borders,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45hundreds of miles from the scene of the Battle of Waterloo,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47came to acquire so many pieces.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Well, the truth of the matter is,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53the moment he heard of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57he decided to set off for the battlefield.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00He travelled to Belgium, his first trip abroad,
0:25:00 > 0:25:05not only to see the battlefield but also to find out what was for sale.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10When Scott arrived at Waterloo the battlefield was a shocking site,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12littered with smoking debris and corpses.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16He wrote of the ghastly remains of the carnage.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20He was too late to pick up items himself,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24as enterprising locals had already scooped up all the spoils.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27However, Scott was able, via these locals,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30to get his hands on some interesting pieces.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34He acquired this cuirass and helmet,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38the breastplate from some mounted armour,
0:25:38 > 0:25:44and he recorded that he thought it had come from a noble French officer.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Next door is a pair of holsters
0:25:47 > 0:25:51for flintlock pistols, to keep them dry and safe when, again,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53mounted in the battle.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57And next door to that is another cuirass and shako,
0:25:57 > 0:26:01which are Polish, but they're here to demonstrate
0:26:01 > 0:26:04within Scott's collection that bits of armour were
0:26:04 > 0:26:09not necessarily that reliable, because in that breastplate
0:26:09 > 0:26:11we can see a great hole created by a musket,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15which would have done the wearer no good at all.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Hmm, great collection of a great Scot.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Talking of great Scots, let's join Anita Manning over at the auction.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Anita, how are you?- I'm very well, and welcome.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- It's a delight to have you back. - Thank you very much.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37First up, we've got the old washboard.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42SHE LAUGHS I have to say, I haven't seen one of these things for years. Have you?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I think they're fabulous, but I'll tell you what amuses me.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- The marketing device in the top, The Glass Queen.- Mm.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Now if you can imagine a woman washing the clothes
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- with a washboard, which is very hard work, for her family.- Yes.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03But her husband has bought her the deluxe model
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- and thinks of her as a glass queen. - Yeah.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10What a lot of bloomin' old rubbish.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13But that's all they had then, wasn't it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- That's all they had.- It's lovely.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I think it's a great survival, really.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Anyway, very evocative. How much?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- 15 to 20.- Fair enough. £5 paid.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- That's what you call...- That was a good five pounds' worth.- A bargain.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Now the girls were determined to go with
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- the Bakelite Kodak Hawkette camera. - Uh-huh.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Do you fancy this one?- Yes, I do. I love it. Look at it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38A wonderful, wonderful shape.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- And the mottled Bakelite to look like the veneer of wood.- Yes.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46So it has so many elements, and I bet that's still working.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Yeah, I bet it is. Lots of nostalgia there. Is there any cash?
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- 40 to 60.- Do you reckon?- I hope so. - The girls paid 15.- Oh, well done.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59That's pretty cool. And then the high roller, the big risk ticket.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Yes.- Is the cordial glass.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Well, this is the real McCoy.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08It's an 18th century piece. It's in perfect condition.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12And look at this wonderful taping work here. It's absolutely lovely.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16The fact that it's a cordial glass rather than a wine glass
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- will make it even more desirable. - Mm.- For the buyers.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23OK, talking about desirable, how desirable?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- 140 to 180.- Fair enough.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- £155 paid.- That's not bad.- And it could take off, couldn't it?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32But it is high-risk, it might fail at the fence, in which case
0:28:32 > 0:28:35they'll need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Now, Fiona, Alison,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41you gave your man £125.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Paul, what did you spend it on?
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- I spent it on... these!- Wow.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- I love these.- Mm-hm.- And I cannot tell you much more than that about them.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53HE LAUGHS
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- They're actually quite cute.- They're cute. I adore them.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01So, earthenware, barrel form vessels.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- They're modelled after pails.- Right.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09And they are domestic wares, be it salt, cream or something
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I am unaware of. 19th century.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14There'll be 100, 150 years to them I should think.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19And given I bought them in Edinburgh, I think there's a fair chance they're Scottish in origin.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I just think they're lovely objects.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Do you?- No.- Ohh! - THEY LAUGH
0:29:26 > 0:29:32- How much did you spend on these?- I didn't wade in deep. They were £20. - £20?- You were robbed.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- I'm sorry.- Time will tell.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- Time will tell.- You think he was robbed at ten pounds each?- Yes.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- Do you really?- Really. We'll just have to wait and see.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- We'll wait and see how badly we do. - Ask him how much...
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- How much do you think it will go for?- I think they've got to be worth 20 to £40.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54A bit of a mystery with the handle - or as to what they might have been used for.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59Anyway, let's find out, for the audience at home, just how Anita's going to feel about them.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I never thought I'd be handing you and an crock.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Anita, OK. Well, they're rather fun, aren't they?
0:30:06 > 0:30:11Ah, yes. I like this. It's Scottish pottery, with the yellow and black colours.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14It's good that they are a matching pair.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17And the type of thing that would look absolutely terrific
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- in a modern kitchen.- Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25This is very weird, this bar across the top of the simulated barrel.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- It's obviously for carrying.- Yes.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Oddball but very attractive.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33And therefore probably quite unusual.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36And therefore probably worth a pile of dough. Ha!
0:30:36 > 0:30:38How do you rate them, Anita?
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- 25 to 35.- Yeah, I bet they take off, these.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Anyway, thank you very much. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51And for them we have got the letter rack,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53which looks particularly dull to me.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57I think it's very sweet. I like the simplicity of it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Little Arts and Crafts look about it,
0:31:00 > 0:31:05hand-hammered, so it has lots of appealing features and, really,
0:31:05 > 0:31:09the simplicity of it is something that makes it attractive to me.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12To me it's a five pound note. Our lot paid £16.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- How do you rate it?- 25 to 40.- Do you really? My gosh.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Next up is the Lea Stein brooches.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24She was one of the most prestigious, I suppose,
0:31:24 > 0:31:29designers of costume jewellery in the 20th century.
0:31:29 > 0:31:36And she and her chemist husband produced this laminated plastic
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and she designed the motifs and things.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42And it had a bit of humour.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Frogs, ladybirds,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46film stars and so on.
0:31:46 > 0:31:52- So they're quite collectable now. She was looking back to the 1930s and the Art Deco time.- Yes.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54And people like her brooches. They're fun.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59- How much, then?- 40 to 70.- OK. £85 they paid.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04OK, next is the pendant brooch. It goes from one extreme to the other, this, doesn't it?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Because there's a high piece of late Victorian jewellery.- Yes.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11This little pendant has some quality,
0:32:11 > 0:32:16and I like it. And they are becoming more popular in today's market.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- Isn't that nice to hear? OK, so how much, then?- 100 to 200.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23That's OK, cos we sit at 149.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25We're very happy, we're in a comfortable place,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27relying on you, as ever.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32In case it doesn't go well though, let's have a look at the bonus buy.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Girls, this is exciting, isn't it? You gave Charles £50. What did you spend it on?
0:32:36 > 0:32:41I wanted to something sweet, something to remember my Scottish ladies by.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Romantic, and I found this.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Ooh.- Oh.- It's a sugar sifter. It's got a wonderful silver chase top.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53It's probably Birmingham 1910, but importantly, with a local interest,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57it's inset with these nice Scottish hardstones. Very nice.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- It's lovely.- Well, being Scottish, what did you pay for it?
0:33:00 > 0:33:06- I like it. And it cost me £50. - Good.- I would guide it, God willing,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- between 50 and 80.- That would do nicely.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- When was the last one you saw that had got Scottish stones in, made in Birmingham?- Never.- There you go.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Not for a long time.- I think that is quite a rare feature.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- So, does this get a thumbs up? - Definitely.- Yes, we trust him implicitly.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- I always knew you would come up trumps for us.- I hope so.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- You don't have to take it.- We will, though. We're a team. The Three Musketeers.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Charles, well done, you've infected your girls with enthusiasm.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Let's find out just how infected Anita Manning's going to be.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Right, then, here is Charles, buying strategically
0:33:42 > 0:33:44with the Scottish element in it.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48A Scottish item. Tim, don't you just love polished agates?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50And what the agates have done is
0:33:50 > 0:33:53that they have taken quite an ordinary item
0:33:53 > 0:33:56and made it quite special.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Yeah. Hallmarked it up in Birmingham. So did you export
0:33:59 > 0:34:02your Scottish stones into other silver-making centres?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Yes. What would happen is that these stones would be collected
0:34:06 > 0:34:10in the burns and the seashores of the East Coast of Scotland.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12They would be sent to Edinburgh to be polished,
0:34:12 > 0:34:18and then sent down to Birmingham to be inset into silver items,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20so it's got a wee bit of history there.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Yeah. And it makes a very attractive sugar sifter, I have to say.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Charles is pretty canny about this. How do you rate it, money-wise?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- I've estimated 70 to 100.- Perfect. He paid £50.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35He'll be rooting for it. We'll all be rooting for it.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- And you. Good luck, Anita.- Thank you.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41200, 210, 230.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43220 at the back.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- Happy?- Yes.- First up then is the washboard, The Glass Queen, and here it comes.- OK.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52183, ladies and gentlemen,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55is an early 20th century washboard
0:34:55 > 0:34:57called The Glass Queen.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00And you can imagine a husband buying it for his wife
0:35:00 > 0:35:05to make the washing of the family's clothes more luxurious.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08What can we say? 50?

0:35:39 > 0:35:42Now this is the first camera
0:35:42 > 0:35:44that used Bakelite. The Hawkette.

0:37:25 > 0:37:29189, a pair of Scottish pottery miniature salt crocks,

0:40:56 > 0:41:00- I can tell you Anita has estimated 70 to £100.- I knew it, Charles.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03There's this sugar sifter, ladies and gentlemen.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Unusual in that it has these wonderful silver agates.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16- £50? £50. £30 there.- Oh, no.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32It worked its face.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35No pain, no shame there, Carlos.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38So you are plus £70, girls. Nothing the matter with that.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41That could be a winning score. Don't say a word to the Reds and
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- we'll reveal everything in a moment. - Thank you.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Well, what a treat this is. Two extremely successful teams.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03Two teams that are all going to get golden gavels cos they all made profits on all their lots. Ooh!
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Anyway, there you go. It's exciting, isn't it?
0:42:07 > 0:42:12It's just that one team has made one half of the profit of the other team,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14and therefore are the runners-up today,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17and that team is...
0:42:17 > 0:42:19..the Red team. THEY CHEER
0:42:21 > 0:42:25£35 is what you go home with, which is really good, isn't it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Plus, you get your golden gavel. There's your three golden gavels.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Just nick it. Give it a yank.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- Nick it, give it a yank.- Thank you. - Nick it, give it a yank.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Well done. And, of course, the Blues get golden gavels too.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Nick that one. And I'm going to give you two loose ones from my pocket,
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- which are there.- Thank you very much. - And there. Perfect.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51You made 70 pounds-worth of profits overall.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53And here comes your £70.
0:42:53 > 0:42:59And two extremely happy and colourful-looking ladies you are too.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- And did you love it?- Loved it, yes.
0:43:01 > 0:43:07- Been great having you on the show. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes? Yes!- Yes!- Yes!- Yes!
0:43:08 > 0:43:12I know you're sitting there thinking, I could've done better than that.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:14 > 0:43:19If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21It'll be splendid to see you.
