0:00:02 > 0:00:05Historically the small town of Lewes in East Sussex
0:00:05 > 0:00:08has seen its fair share of conflict.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12But nothing can prepare Lewes for today's showdown. Oh, no.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15The teams are at the ready, the battle lines are drawn,
0:00:15 > 0:00:20so let's get it on and let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:43 > 0:00:48In 1264, the Battle of Lewes was fought between King Henry III
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and Simon De Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Although Henry lost
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and was stripped of his crown,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00his son Edward ultimately went on to defeat De Montfort.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04But who will take today's Bargain Hunt title -
0:01:04 > 0:01:06the Reds or the Blues?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Only time will tell.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Let's have a wee look at what's coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Reds need a reality check.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- It's the wrong way round. - What about that? I really like that.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18That's 1,950 quid.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Forget that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22And there's toilet humour with the Blues.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Ta-da!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I can see you've got a sophisticated sense of humour.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- SHE LAUGHS - Yes.- Ah!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32And the excitement spills over down at the auction.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33(45!)
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Oh, yes!- '48, I see.'
0:01:38 > 0:01:40But that's all coming up later.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42First, let's meet the teams.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Today we have two pairs of pals.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48For the Reds, we have Brogan and Carly.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And for the Blues, we have Jill and Sheila.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello! - SHE CHUCKLES
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Now, Brogan, I hear you're a bit of a jet setter.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01A little bit, yes. No, in cabin crew for an airline,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03so I get to travel all over the world.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Now, when you're not flying, what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Bits and bobs. I like to dance. I love chocolate.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11I eat chocolate a lot.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Do you both dance together?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- We used to, yeah.- We used to, yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17We used to be dance partners back when we were in school.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- That's how we know each other. - What sort of dance do you do?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22We used to do competitive disco. So freestyle disco dancing.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24What's competitive disco?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Pretty much running along and lots of stretching.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Lots of stretching and being judged by people in lights and costumes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- It was very fun. - Travelled up and down the country,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33didn't we, to do it? Loads of different places.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Go to competitions, compete against hundreds of people.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37All right. Yeah. SHE CHUCKLES
0:02:37 > 0:02:41But it was very, very good fun. Now, what sort of work do you do?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So I'm a HR assistant at an accident management company,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47so it's a bit more serious than what Brogan does.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50A lot more boring. Just more paperwork and things like that.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Well, you're obviously best pals,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55but what kind of team are you going to make?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- The best.- I think we make a very, very good team.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Carly knows lots about stuff and I just kind of twaddle along.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- We'll be fine. We'll just wing it. - We're going to be great.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09And now for our Blue team, Jill and Sheila.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Now, Jill, tell me how you two lovely ladies met.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Well, we met over 20 years ago now at the local playgroup
0:03:15 > 0:03:17where our sons used to go.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19We recognised each other and we thought,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22"Oh, yes, we live in the same road. Let's get together with the boys."
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Which we did and, you know, 20 years later we're still in the same road.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And what do you do for a living, Jill?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Well, I've recently given up working in an infant school
0:03:32 > 0:03:35as a teaching assistant, which I did for 18 years,
0:03:35 > 0:03:36and I've completely changed course
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and I'm now working as a full-time cartoonist.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- A cartoonist? How interesting that is.- Yeah.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And for comics or newspapers or what sort of...?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48No, for online businesses.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Primarily at the moment for my partner's online self-help business.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54But other businesses as well have got in touch
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and so now I'm sort of doing it full-time which is amazing.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Sheila, I believe you're artistic as well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I am. In fact I think she's just absorbed all my talent.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Oh, no, not at all.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05So tell me what you do.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I paint in oils.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I mean, what Jill does is cartoons
0:04:09 > 0:04:11which is something I totally could not do.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Mine is, essentially you'd call it hyperreal.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Whatever it is I'm painting,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22which generally seems to be cakes and sweets, I paint every detail
0:04:22 > 0:04:27so it's a very realistic kind of paint effect.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So when you're not painting, what do you do in your spare time?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31I dance.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I dance as well, actually. In fact, many years ago both of us did start
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- dancing for a bit of escapism. - Oh, yeah, we did, didn't we?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40- Modern jive.- Yeah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I recently started learning tango as well which is very difficult.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47So how do you think you ladies are going to get on today?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well, we've got to give these young ones a run.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- We're going to pull all the stops out.- Absolutely.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56We'll sniff out those bargains and beat those Reds. Not that I'm competitive.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Did you hear that, Reds?- We did. - ANITA LAUGHS
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Well, I'd better give you your money. £300, girls.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Your experts await so off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Good pals! Wonderful!
0:05:12 > 0:05:16And of course our teams need a little helping hand along the way.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Setting sail with the Reds today is Nick Hall.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23And trying to get ahead of them with the Blues
0:05:23 > 0:05:25is Philip Serrell.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29What are we looking for today? What are we looking to buy?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well, I'm looking for silver and jewellery, I think.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I love anything a bit weird, a little bit anatomical,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37a little bit ventriloquist's dummy, particularly.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39If there's one of them, we're having it, Phil.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Yeah, we're both really into ventriloquist's dummies.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And what are you after, Carls?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I think I'm just going to keep an open mind
0:05:46 > 0:05:47and see what I like the look of.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49An open mind. Anything and everything.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- Wing it.- Anything with a profit.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51I like Art Deco.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- So we're going to buy an Art Deco ventriloquist's dummy.- Yes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56That sounds about right.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Right, that's a project, isn't it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01OK, teams, 60 minutes on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Let's go.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Go on, then. Off you go.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Definitely some variety in today's shopping list. Good luck, teams.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Oh, what's that?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17What have you spotted?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18This little silver thing here.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24Ah! It is a little sovereign case, silver, Edwardian.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You can put a full sovereign or a half sovereign in.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- And they are quite collectable. How much is it?- It's £195.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Ouch.- I mean, that's a lot.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yeah, its auctioneer's estimate 81.20.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37So you're going to have to come down a long way.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- So we'd have to get that down a lot. - Yeah. But it's a pretty thing.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43If you can spot that type of collectable at a better price,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- yeah, we're off and away.- OK. - Definitely do it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49So you're on the right track, Reds. Just remember your budget.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51How are the Blues getting on?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53That's a push.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- You see, I quite like that. - Look out, Jill!
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Suddenly knocked myself out.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I'm going to give you a little bit of information here.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- That looks very new. - Well, no, it isn't.- Is it not?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's probably Edwardian. These were on the likes of hospital doors,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06so I'm told, up until about 1950.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09After that they put different door pushers on them.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12But these things, I don't know why, but they didn't transmit bacteria.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16And they reckon that if they still had all this door furniture on...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Yes.- ..there wouldn't be half the diseases around.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Oh, wow.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Aye, that Mr Serrell, he's a fountain of knowledge.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Oh, something else has caught Carly's eye.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Phil, what about that, the snuff box?- What's a snuff box?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31A snuff box is a box for putting snuff in.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- What's snuff? - It's powdered nicotine that you put
0:07:35 > 0:07:38on the back of your thumb or the back of your hand and...
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- HE SNIFFS - ..snort.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Would they go well?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Some can if they're rare and early, not too dear.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47That one is 70 quid and it's not rare but it is dear.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- But it is dear.- So it's the wrong way round.- What about that?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- I really like that.- That's 1,950 quid.- Forget that.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57You certainly have expensive taste, Carly. I'll give you that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Oh, the Blues haven't moved far.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05I really like Art Deco shades.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- I like those. Do you?- Yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- I do like those two.- There's a shade there that's quite...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- This is huge.- £48.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Is that old, Phil?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- 55.- I mean, I prefer...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- I prefer those but... - Well, you could buy them both.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22That's true.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Just in time, dealer Andrew is here to shed some light.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You've got some interesting things in your store.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32What about if we had a bulk buy of those two and that?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Um... Basically I could do 35, 35 and 35.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- So that's 105. - Oh, these are 35 each?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Oh, no. We thought that was the pair.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I do like these, but I think they're too dear.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45ANITA: Oops! Well, that didn't go to plan, girls.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46What's the best buy on your stand
0:08:46 > 0:08:49that's guaranteed to make a profit at auction?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Guaranteed profit is this decanter. Price - 38.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56ANITA: A guaranteed profit? We've heard that before.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Have you looked that mark up, Andrew?- I have. It's 1930s.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01So which country would that be from?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I think it's Belgium, the Low Countries.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05- That sort of area.- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I like the mix of the pewter and the glass, Sheila.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I think it's an attractive object that you could have in a lounge
0:09:11 > 0:09:12if you had those sort of colours.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- £38, I don't think there's a profit in that.- No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Can I just say, what's the death on it? Cos that's what I've been really
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- wanting to say.- The death?- What, the death?- £15 is the death, THE death.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Well, I quite like it.- What do you think? A possibility then?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I think that's probably worth a go.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Well, before we go on, is there anything else?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Yes. We've spotted the school bell.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Really? - BELL CHIMES
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Bring out your dead!
0:09:36 > 0:09:37- HE CHUCKLES - I hope not.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39We had a bell like that in my school.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- So £56.- It's a lot of money. - It's a lot, isn't it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Can I ask our friend how much he'll come down?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I could do that one for £35.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48What do you think, Phil?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I quite like it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55I have to admit, for me, the jury is out on our dimple decanter.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Our time's running. What would you like to do?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I think this one moves us.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03It does. But I am a bit worried that it's a little bit too expensive.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- I think you're going to worry a lot, you.- I know.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07You've got the two priced at £50
0:10:07 > 0:10:12which is £15 the decanter and £35 for the bell. Can we...?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13I can do 33 on the bell,
0:10:13 > 0:10:1715 on the decanter, so, 48 for the pair.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- 48.- Can we shake your hand on that? - I don't see why not.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Good work, Blues. 15 minutes in and you only have one item left to find.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Right, Reds, you're playing catch up.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Oh, nice handbag. - Is this where we came in?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Hey, and look, girls, right up your street.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Vintage fashion is so on trend at the moment, honestly.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Is it really?- Yeah, yeah.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43We do Saturday boutique sales of all this vintage fashion
0:10:43 > 0:10:45and they love it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47We've got snake going across there.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I think you'll find that's imitation snake, Nicholas.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- What do you think? - I do like it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I think for an older market it might go well,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57for someone, obviously, around our age, we're thinking...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59We're not thinking outside the box there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It actually fits in to the retro and the vintage market
0:11:01 > 0:11:03which is a younger buyer's thing.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06It's £55 but I'm sure we can negotiate that.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07I can go and have a chat with the staff
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- and see if there is some negotiation to be done.- I think we can talk
0:11:10 > 0:11:12and see what we can get it down to.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Now, in all its glory.- OK.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Ta-da.- Phil. - SHE LAUGHS
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Any Port In A Storm.- Yes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I can see you've got a sophisticated sense of humour, Phil.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yes, definitely.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31It's honed through the years of Bargain Hunt, let me tell you.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- So, how funny is the price though? - Yeah, let's have a look.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Well, that's it, look, £175.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Ooh, that's a lot. - Oh! That's a bit steep.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Time to take a closer look at that handbag.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Ladies, I have Andrew and Andrew has keys.- Hello.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Hi, Andrew.- Hi.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I spoke to someone earlier
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- and apparently it could be £45 if we want it.- OK.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56OK.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Now, you're checking for quality, for condition, makers names, OK?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- So, we've got...- Who's that?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- So, we've got a tag in there. And where was it made?- It's faded.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Was it somewhere like Paris or New York?
0:12:06 > 0:12:12Sounds promising. Could it be Milan, Monte Carlo, Tokyo maybe?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Manchester.- Aw.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I can tell you... Cos I don't live very far from Manchester,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I can tell you categorically there is a strong market
0:12:21 > 0:12:23for retro and vintage fashion there.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Carls, I think we should say yes. - OK, let's do it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Do you want to buy it? Are you sure? - Yes.- OK, well, look.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32We'll go off with our handbag, I'll pass the money your way,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- you carry on shopping, half an hour left.- Half an hour.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- OK. Come on, Andrew.- Thank you. - One thing.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I can't believe we just touched a snake skin.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Aw, don't worry, Carly, it's not real snake.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Well done, girls. You've bagged your first bargain.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Halfway through your shop, remember to keep an eye on the time.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- I've always wanted a clock like this.- Why?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I just... I just really like them. I'd like one in my kitchen.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57This is mahogany.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00There's a little box here that opens up and the pendulum drops down.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01- Oh.- Oh.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03They're quite collectable, clocks like that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06How much is it? That's the thing really, that's the key to it all.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Let's have a look. - Where's the ticket?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Is there anything on it?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11There doesn't seem to be anything on it, no.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Think about whether we should spend all of our money on this
0:13:14 > 0:13:17or something else like it cos that isn't going to be cheap.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- You two have a chat amongst yourselves.- OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Right, I'll go find out the price. - Will do.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23So, what do you think? I like it
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- but I'm not sure how much it would make at auction.- I like it.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Remember you're not buying for yourselves, ladies.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31You're buying for a profit.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Oh, what's Nick found? - That's so cool.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- It's very much in the Art Deco style.- No, I really like it.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- In the manner of a chap called Hagenauer.- I like it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42He used to make a lot of these in Austria.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Now, if it's by him we're quids in, it would make £200-300.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48If it's not, if it is a copy of him,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51then we've got to be really cautious on what we pay for it
0:13:51 > 0:13:53but it's quite a stylish thing.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Definitely. I really like that. - I really like that.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Shall I get someone with a key... - Yes, please.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59..and we can see if we can have a closer look at it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00See if we can find a mark.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And then we can fandango all our way to a profit, can't we?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Positive thinking, I like your style, Nicholas.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm hoping that that is below 200.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Yeah, me too.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Phil's back. Decision time.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- The very best price we can get it for is £175.- OK.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20OK. So, I quite like it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Will it make £175 at auction, I don't think so.- Right.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I think you either go with your heart and buy that
0:14:27 > 0:14:29but you might be prepared to lose 100 quid.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Yeah. Don't really want to do that, do we?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Risky business, Blues.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Meanwhile, Nick has tracked down Steven
0:14:36 > 0:14:39to get a closer look at that figure.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- There we are.- Very nice.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- Yeah, it's cute.- Found you.- Hi.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43- Hi.- You tiptoed off.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Have you got us good news?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I have Stephen and I have a dancer.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I really like it. I want it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, you can't take it home with you.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53If we buy it, we're going to have to sell it.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54- You know that, don't you? - LAUGHS
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- I take it it's not signed or anything.- No, no, no.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- No, OK.- I've given it a good once over.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01What sort of date would you put on that?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Well, it's possible that it's 1930s but possibly into the '50s.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- I really like it.- I really like it though.- You both like it.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Is it something that you've bought well
0:15:10 > 0:15:12and there's room to negotiate on?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14There is a little bit, there's not a lot.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So, it would normally be 60 but I'd do 55.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Are you sure? No lower? - Absolutely. No lower.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- I like it.- I like it. I think we should do it.- Do it. We're doing it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- I think we're in.- OK. Thank you. - Yeah, 55 it is. Well done.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Thank you. OK.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28And there you have it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:3240 minutes in and both teams have two items apiece.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let's leave them shopping
0:15:34 > 0:15:38and ring the changes as I found a piece of local interest.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46BELL RINGS
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Crested ware is the name given to inexpensive,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52mass-produced holiday ornaments
0:15:52 > 0:15:56which were bought by day-trippers and holiday-makers
0:15:56 > 0:15:59in the late 19th, early 20th-century.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02They were made of white porcelain
0:16:02 > 0:16:05and they bore the crest of your holiday place.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09This little bell was made by Clifton China
0:16:09 > 0:16:12and dates from round about 1910.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16It shows the crest of Hove with the full masted ship
0:16:16 > 0:16:24and the motto of Hove underneath, "Floreat Hova" - let Hove flourish.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The front of this little crested bell
0:16:27 > 0:16:32shows a poor, ancient, old granny with a toothless grin.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36And the reverse shows a wealthy young lady of fashion
0:16:36 > 0:16:39in fine coiffure.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45These two characters from opposite ends of the social scale
0:16:45 > 0:16:49have come together with one message - votes for women.
0:16:49 > 0:16:57Because in this country, before 1928, women did not have the vote.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03Now, Hove was a very active region in the UK for this struggle.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06In the years before the First World War,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09there were marchers, there were demonstrations,
0:17:09 > 0:17:14open aired gathering and vigorous interruptions of political meetings.
0:17:14 > 0:17:20This little commemorative bell would have been sold
0:17:20 > 0:17:24to raise awareness of women's suffrage.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29It would have rung the chimes of change in this country.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Crested ware, although very collectable,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35is still relatively inexpensive.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39You can buy pieces for £10, £20, £30
0:17:39 > 0:17:41but this little piece,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45because of its historical significance
0:17:45 > 0:17:51and its association with suffragettes is priced at £140.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56And for that money, it would have my vote any day.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Back to the shop and it's two items each for our teams.
0:18:06 > 0:18:0715 minutes left on the clock.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Thank you.- I really like that.- I do.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It's got really nice detail
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and you can see that it's got markings here.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18What have you done with Nick, girls? Oh, there he is.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- We just need to know what that means.- There you are.- Hi.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- What have you found? - We found this perfume funnel.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Yeah, it's sort of decanting your perfume
0:18:26 > 0:18:28out from the big bottle you buy at the store
0:18:28 > 0:18:31down to the little pretty one on your dressing table.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33So, it's got an import mark.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35So, it was made abroad, imported into the UK
0:18:35 > 0:18:38and then stamped at the point of import.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Which is nice cos it tells you about the story,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43the history of the object and it tells you it is silver.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Now, how much is it?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47So, it's £45.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- What would be your lowest on this? - OK, this dealer will do you 35.
0:18:51 > 0:18:5235. So, it's £10 off.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- I mean, how much...- That's not a bad discount that, is it?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56No, I think that's really good.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59A sweet smelling deal for your little perfume thing, isn't it?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00LAUGHS
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I spotted something else around the corner as well.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Just to throw that in the mix. - Oh, let's have a look.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08It's a nice bit of Art Deco ceramic which you might want to look at.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's a similar price. Shall we go have a look at the plate
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- and then make a decision?- Mm-hm. - Yes, definitely.- OK.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Thank you for that.- Thank you.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Sounds like a plan, Nick.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Meanwhile, the Blues have found something
0:19:19 > 0:19:21that may just help them to clean up at auction.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- It's an original Ewbank.- It's a carpet sweeper. Isn't it?- Yes.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- You wouldn't use it, would you? - No, you'd use it.- Would you?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Like that. Course you would. Look.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Underneath, that's where all the bits... It will work.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32It will still work.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34That's where all the dust collects, and then you empty it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- I do like it, I'm just wondering if anyone's going to...- How much is it?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40£18. Oh, yeah, but we need to spend a bit more money.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- I wish we had got that.- Oh, yeah. It's good, isn't it?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Yeah. I wish we'd got that. - Oh, well.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Phil, we just picked this up. - Ewbank, an original wooden Ewbank.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- So, how much is it?- £18.- 18.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53They told me you were going to spend, spend, spend.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54No, we are actually, Sheila.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Do you know what? That might make 10 or 12 quid profit
0:19:56 > 0:19:58but, you know, we'll have only have spent, like...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- ..we'll have spent under 60 quid, won't we?- Yeah. True.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- We've got to beat those Reds, remember. Let's put it back.- True.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Right, Nick, let's have a look at that plate, shall we?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Oh, it's sweet.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- The detail is nice.- Isn't it nice?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Now, I can tell you that that pattern is called Celtic harvest.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19I can also tell you that it was designed by the great Claris Cliff.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22On the back, you've got a factory stamp. They are Newport.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It doesn't look like a Clarence Cliff.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's not your typical, asymmetrical, bright, bold linear designs.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31It's just a little bit more fun than that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Slightly later, these moulded wares
0:20:33 > 0:20:35rather than those angular early pieces.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- What do you think? - I prefer the fun...
0:20:38 > 0:20:42I do like it, and it's nice, I just can't see anyone...
0:20:42 > 0:20:43displaying it as much as the funnel.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I don't think they are sold, Nick.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Well, it's got £38 on the ticket.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I did have a word when I spotted it earlier, and it can go at £30.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I think the auctioneer will probably put 30 to 50 on it.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Silver funnel, of course, you got that down to £35.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04An auction estimate's going to be either 20 to 30 or 30 to £40.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06So you're kind of in the mix there.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I think funnel.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Nick thinks plate. What do you think?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- I'm on your team. Let's get the funnel.- It's two to one.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13That's you told, Nick.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17You two are going to have to sprint round there and I'll catch you up.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Come on girls, 10 minutes left.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Right then, Phil, I think your ladies may need a hand
0:21:22 > 0:21:24if they are in with a sporting chance.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25I love that old lacrosse stick.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Did you play lacrosse, Sheila?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Frequently.- Really?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- You did not.- 38 quid, though.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35So you could probably get that for about 30, £35
0:21:35 > 0:21:37and I think, out of everything that we have seen,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40that's more commercial than everything else.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44People collect sporting ephemera and memorabilia.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46So there's the first avenue.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Somebody who plays lacrosse might be up to it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51But the other one is that people buy things like this to dress pubs.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Yes, I can see that.- Yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I just think that, I actually think that's quite fun.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59You've got a £175 clock, though it might lose £100 on.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You've got a lacrosse stick that is £38,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03although have a quick whizz round in the next 10 minutes
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- and just see if there's anything else.- Yes, hold on to this.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08And have a quick whizz round.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Have a quick whizz round with the lacrosse stick.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Jolly lacrosse sticks and all that.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17What are we going to do? I wanted to spend a bit more money.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Let's have a look over here. - Do you know, that started so well?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We really hit the ground running.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'm so pleased we bought those two lots earlier on
0:22:24 > 0:22:26but it sort of ground to a halt.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I've sent them off to see what they can find.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I'm not sure if that's such a good idea, Phil.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32That's like a big jelly mould.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Tailor's dummy. 85.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37That's a bit kitsch, over-the-top, but in a way...
0:22:37 > 0:22:38- But it's £285.- Yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41They're looking a little bit lost out there
0:22:41 > 0:22:45and they have five minutes left. Time to have a word, I think.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Where's she gone? Where's she gone? Where's she gone?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I don't know, she's vanished.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Why do they always run like that with lacrosse sticks?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- They do, don't they?- I was a hockey player, so I never played.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Jolly hockey sticks. Where has she gone,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59cos she's now only got about two or three minutes left.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00- Sheila!- Oh, wait for it.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Look at what I've got!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It's the old Ewbank again.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Sorry, I've had to go back and look at this Ewbank again.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Right, let's have a look here.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12So, what we've got is two items that are now one lot.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Of course, for all those lacrosse-playing cleaners
0:23:15 > 0:23:16in the saleroom.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- £18 and £38 is 56 quid, is that right?- Yup.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23And I'm charged with going to see how much we can get it for, correct?
0:23:23 > 0:23:28- Cos we've now run out of time. - 30, please, Phil.- 30? Behave!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I think we're going to beat those Reds.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Who could resist?- It's a match made in heaven.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Right, Reds, it was £35 for that perfume funnel.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Time to make a decision.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42- There it is.- Thank you. - So, it's your last chance.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Yes. I think the funnel is a winner.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Right, put that in your pocket, give them some money and we are done.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Yay!- You've got a deal.- OK, thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57With a minute to spare. Well done. All three items, done and dusted.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Speaking of dust...
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So our two items are one lot.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Originally priced up at £56.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Now, I smiled as best I can and I tried hard.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11The best thing I can do for you is £45.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Yes!
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Let's do it.- Come on then.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17How can we fail with that?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Go on, off you go.- It's a job done. - Thanks, Phil.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23BELL RINGS 60 minutes up, team.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Stop shopping now.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- CHEERING - Yes!
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36First up, they picked up the imitation snakeskin bag for £45.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Hoping to pirouette off with a profit,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43was the bronze figure, they paid £55.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47And finally, it was the little perfume funnel, settling at £35.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Girls, did you have a good time? - Yes. We had a really good day.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- A great day, yeah. - What was your favourite item?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59My favourite item was the dancing, decadent lady.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I loved her. I think she was lovely.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Will it make you the most profit? - No. I definitely don't think...
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I think the perfume funnel that Carly was very fond of.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Carly, do you agree?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- The dancer, I think, is going to make the most money.- Yeah, uh-huh.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Well, they sound very, very interesting items.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- But how much money did you spend? - We spent £135.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Well, £165, please, girls.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Thank you.- Well, Nick, they seem to have bought girlie things.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Are you going to continue with that theme?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31There is a bit of a theme there, isn't there, Anita.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I think what I'm going to do, in keeping with my team,
0:25:34 > 0:25:39is buy something sleek, elegant, interesting and unusual.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Good luck. Let's check out now what the Blues bought.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Their first item was the green dipped glass decanter.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49They paid £15.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Next up, the handbell cost them £33.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00And finally, it was the curious combo of a carpet sweeper
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and a lacrosse stick. Total paid £45.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Girls, you've got a big smile on your face. Did you have a good time?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10We had a brilliant day, thanks. We really did. Yeah, it was great fun.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- What's your favourite item?- Um, for me, I think it's the school bell.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16All right, a school bell. Does it take you back?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- It does, brings back memories. - Will it ring a success?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Will it ring a profit? - I'm hoping so, Anita.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23What's your favourite item?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Well, I love the bell too,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28but I also am a bit partial to the lacrosse stick.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Is that going to make you a lot of profit?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I'm sure it's going to make us a fortune.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34THEY LAUGH
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Now, how much did you spend, girls?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- £93.- £93?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42£207 for me.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Yes, here it comes.- Thank you.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Philip, that is an extraordinary amount of money for you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- I know, it's a holiday for me, then.- Yeah.- Absolutely.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54What are you going to buy?
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Well, I'm going to try and brush up on my wares that were
0:26:59 > 0:27:02produced locally and just see if I can come up with something.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04If anyone can do it, Phil, you can.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06But right now, we're off to the auction.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Today, we're in West Sussex at Bellmans Auctioneers with
0:27:26 > 0:27:31auctioneer Will Pasfield. Will, it's lovely to be here.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Nice see you here, Anita.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38- The Red team are a pair of very stylish wee lassies...- Right.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42..and the items that they've bought, I think, are very stylish.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45First of all, handbags.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I don't know if you're into handbags, Will,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49but what do you think of this one?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Um, I do quite like it, actually.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It's a little bit stiff in the design.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58The pattern is very square, very stiff.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00However, it is faux-snakeskin.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So if anyone wants to be politically correct these days, you can
0:28:03 > 0:28:06have that handbag, and you'll be doing the right thing.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Textiles and vintage clothing are very popular
0:28:09 > 0:28:11in the salerooms today.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15People want to wear items which were associated with that
0:28:15 > 0:28:19late 20th-century period, so I think that handbags,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23it's the type of thing that doesn't need to fit you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's for everyone.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26You're spot on.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Also it's practical. You can actually have it and use it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Some of the old hats that you see, and some of the other
0:28:31 > 0:28:35clothing is fantastic, but can be a bit annoying to wear.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37The handbag's perfect. It's a good-sized bag as well.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39What's your estimate on that?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- My estimate on that is £10 to £20.- 10 to 20?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- They paid 45 on it, Will.- Oh! - They paid a lot of money.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Well, if we've got some fashion divas in the room,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49we may be able to achieve it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54Now, what about this patinated bronze figure after Hagenauer.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I think it's the best buy that they've done.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58He does sell well.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It's got style, it's got character,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03it can fit in almost any sort of an interior, he's popular.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05I'm confident on this, and we'll do well on it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09It's not signed, but you've attributed it to Hagenauer.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Yes, we have, we have. We'll let people make up their own minds.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16It's photographed. It's on the internet.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19So if anyone's interested in collecting, they will find it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- What's your estimate?- £100 to £150 on that, and I'm confident.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- Excellent. They only paid £55. - They'll make a profit.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Our little silver funnel, bottle funnel. It's hallmarked.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- What do you think of that? - It's a sweet little thing.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35A little bit of continental.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Will it ever be used for pouring perfume into a bottle?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Probably not, but actually just to sit there, just to be nice,
0:29:41 > 0:29:42yeah, I like it.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- Estimate on that?- £30 to £50.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Well, they paid 35, so there is hope for that there as well.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- Yeah, yeah, we should get them out on that one.- Yeah. Excellent.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53So, you've got great confidence in this lot.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55They may not need their bonus buy,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Well, my lovely girlies, Brogan, Carly.
0:30:02 > 0:30:08You spent £135, you left Nick with 165.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Nick, what did you buy?
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Now, I'll just give you a wee hand here.- There we are.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Two for the price of one.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I said I'd get you something sleek and elegant,
0:30:16 > 0:30:20just like our Red team, and there they are. They're both Edwardian.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23They're both what we call poker work, and you get a hot poker,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26and all this is handmade with the end of a red hot poker.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- A lot of work gone into them. - Clever!- And, they're what?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32120 years old thereabouts. I rather like them.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- What do you think?- Oh, it opens!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It gets better and better, doesn't it?
0:30:36 > 0:30:41- How much were they?- For the two, £55.- Wow.- Oh, that's so good.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42How much do you think they'll make?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Well, it's difficult to know, really. I think these are the sort
0:30:45 > 0:30:47of thing that a private buyer would go for.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49You've got this lovely little child's stool there
0:30:49 > 0:30:51for a little infant to sit on,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54and those little workbox, sewing box-cum-coffee table.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Gosh, it's difficult to say, really. I've seen them make £40, £50 each.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01I've seen them make 20 quid each, so we're in the lap of the gods today.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- They're very pretty. - Yeah, no, they're really different.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08You don't need to make a decision right now, but let's
0:31:08 > 0:31:12see what the auctioneer thinks of Nick's poker-work stools.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16OK, Will, two for the price of one.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Do you like this poker work? - I do like the poker work, actually.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20I like the floral sprays,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23it's very Art Nouveau, it's very interior-y.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26It's quite mellowing to look at as well.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- I like them and they're useful. - Uh-huh.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30And look at the shape of this little stool.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I think it's just absolutely divine.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Yeah, they could have made it with just a plain frieze,
0:31:35 > 0:31:36but they've pierced it,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40they've shaped it and it's what I call, it sits nicely.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- So, what's your estimate on these two?- £20 to £40.- 20 to 40.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47They've paid 55. Have they paid too much, Will?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Um, they might have been at the top end of it, but we'll see.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- We'll let the auction decide that. - Well, let's go onto the Blues.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56First item bought was the continental
0:31:56 > 0:32:00green glass decanter with the rather attractive pewter mounts.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- What do you think? - Not a huge amount, if I'm honest.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05When was the last time someone opened a bottle of wine,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08decanted it into a decanter, and then poured it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11So, you see this as a decorative object,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- rather than a functional object? - It's a decorative object,
0:32:14 > 0:32:19and maybe not everyone wants this to decorate their mantelpiece.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- So it's going to be a tricky one. - Estimate on that?- £10 to £20.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Well, they paid 15,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27so there is definitely a chance of a profit there.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31What about the brass bell? This was the girls' favourite item.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34As a functional piece, superb. We've got a GR on there.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37I don't know if that's trying to be George IV, George V. It's not.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39It's not as early as it could be.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I mean, it still makes a nice ding, which you want a bell to do...
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- It's important.- Yes.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Turned beech handle on it, it would
0:32:46 > 0:32:50have been lovely to see a rosewood handle on there,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54or lignum vitae handle. So it's a copy, but it's functional.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Estimate on that?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- Estimate on that was £10 to £20. - Well, they paid £33 on it.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02So they were very, very keen.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05What about their last lot here,
0:33:05 > 0:33:06Will, do you like this one?
0:33:06 > 0:33:11It's a lot comprising the Ewbank sweeper and a lacrosse stick.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- I'm going to struggle. - SHE LAUGHS
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I think, yeah, you're going to see an auctioneer working
0:33:16 > 0:33:19hard trying to sell this later, I think.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Um, the lacrosse stick not so bad. It fits on a nice oak beam.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27The carpet sweeper, ooh, you know,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30do you display it for its aesthetic beauty?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Estimate?- £5 to £10.- 5 to 10.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Oh, you're going to have a challenge there, Will,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38because they paid £45 on it.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43Having said that, it looks as if they might need their bonus buy.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44I think we need to see that.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51Jill, Sheila, you spent a modest £93.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55You gave Phil £207.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- What did you buy, Phil?- I got these, look.- Ooh!
0:33:59 > 0:34:04- Little Tunbridge Ware brushes.- Wow. Right. £15 each, £30.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- And Tunbridge Ware is hugely collectable.- Is it?- Yeah.- OK.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11What is it that makes it Tunbridge Ware?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Right, if you can imagine, lots of little matchsticks,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15all stuck together with different coloured heads.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Then the tops are sliced off like that.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21And then they lay them down like that. That's Tunbridge Ware.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23So how much do you think they might fetch today?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- I think they'll make between £30 and £50.- Right.- OK.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- That was a really impressive look, wasn't it, eh?- BOTH:- Oooh!
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Dear me.- A little bit underwhelmed, Phil.- That's the story of my life.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36THEY LAUGH
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- We left you with a lot of money. - We did!
0:34:38 > 0:34:41They gave you a lot of money as well.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Girls, you don't need to decide just now.- OK.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45But right now,
0:34:45 > 0:34:49we'll find out what the auctioneer thinks of Phil's brushes.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Will, what do you think of the
0:34:52 > 0:34:54little Tunbridge Ware brushes?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57I like them. I like Tunbridge Ware. I think they're interesting.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59It's nice that they're brushes as well.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01They're not the typical Tunbridge Ware boxes.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Estimate on that?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- I'd put £10 to £20.- 10 to 20.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- Philip paid £30.- Right.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Might you get there?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12£15 each? It's not beyond the realms.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Are you our auctioneer today?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15I'll be swinging the gavel later, yes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16I can't wait!
0:35:18 > 0:35:2025 on the left, now.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Who's got £40 anywhere else?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24All done, 100.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29OK, girls. This is exciting. How do you feel?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- Excited.- So excited.- Coming up.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Oh, right, are you raring to go? - We really want it to come up now.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39First item, our handbag is coming up now.
0:35:39 > 0:35:401970s faux-snakeskin and leather
0:35:40 > 0:35:42patchwork clutch bag
0:35:42 > 0:35:43by Hilmar of Manchester.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45And I've got three bids on here.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I've got £25, £35 and I come in at £45.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- I'll take a 50 now for the bag, anyone.- 45!
0:35:51 > 0:35:52It's £45 with me.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5350 now, anyone?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- 50 and 5. 60.- 60?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58No? Sure you won't go? No? It's £55 from me.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0160? You're not going to go? No, he's not going to go.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03It's £55 for me. 60 anywhere else?
0:36:03 > 0:36:08If you're all out, then it's with me at £55, at 55.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Yes!
0:36:10 > 0:36:1455. You girls are brilliant!
0:36:14 > 0:36:1855, that's plus 10.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Girls, your wonderful bronze figure coming up next.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23The patinated bronze figure.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26We have attributed this to Karl Hagenauer.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28And I've got lots of interest on here,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31and I come straight in at £100.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- £100.- 100!- Do I see 110 anywhere?
0:36:34 > 0:36:35110 anywhere? 10 anywhere?
