0:00:04 > 0:00:06Today's Bargain Hunt comes from Nottinghamshire.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08I'm here at Notts County Football Club,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10and I'll wager that you didn't know
0:00:10 > 0:00:13this is the oldest football league club in the world.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Another thing you might not know
0:00:15 > 0:00:17is that I'm pretty handy with a football.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Well, I hope that our teams are focused on the goal
0:00:36 > 0:00:37of making a profit at auction,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40and with that in mind, let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Today, our teams will be shopping
0:01:07 > 0:01:10in Newark-on-Trent, a former Civil War town.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13They each have £300, just one hour,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and they have to buy three antiques
0:01:16 > 0:01:19that they hope will make a profit for them at the auction.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24The Reds are out shopping for themselves...
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- That would do for me, wouldn't it?- It would.- No!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30..and the Blues are up for a laugh.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Thanks for bearing with me, guys. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:34 > 0:01:36There's plenty of excitement at the auction.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43And I find out more about the man who founded the Salvation Army.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49But before all that, now is the time to meet our teams.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50It's a happy show today.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53For the Reds, we have married couple Julie and John,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and for the Blues, we have friends - best of friends - Kerry and Rich.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Welcome, everyone, hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Thank you for joining us. We're going to start with the Reds.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Straight to you, Julie.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Tell us, straight to the point, if you'll forgive the gag...- I will.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- You met fencing, didn't you? What a great story.- We did.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11We went to the Lake District for a fencing competition.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16I saw John in a coach and I thought, "Wow, he looks good."
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Very smart and stylish.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21He thought the same about me, and it was love at first sight.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- And how did the competition go? Who won?- I think I came second.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26John is a very good fencer.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I did quite well cos I was a good fencer, as well.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31You came second, John, but of course, you really won first prize.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Exactly.- Shall we say?- Yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Julie, tell me, you're retired now, but what did you do in your career?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I am. I was trained as a nursery nurse
0:02:38 > 0:02:40and I looked after babies -
0:02:40 > 0:02:44premature babies, sick babies - in hospitals, maternity units.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50And then, later on, I worked with children with lots of disabilities,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52various disabilities.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- So, a very varied and rewarding career.- Very.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55So, what about you, John?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58You're also retired, but what was your career?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I trained as an artist, a commercial artist.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Oh, wow!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Then I left to join the environmental services in Hull.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08OK, so, when you trained as a commercial artist at the beginning,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10were these huge commercial installations,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12were these big murals or was it small pieces?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I can see you up a ladder.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17No, no, very tiny stuff, very tiny stuff.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19The skill was being able to draw extremely accurately.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Now, what about tactics?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Are you going to spend the lot, keep some for your expert?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I think the idea is to try and spend a lot,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30but buy things of interest, which will make a profit.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- OK, well...- That's the tactic. - It sounds like a good plan.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- We'll see how that pans out. - We'll see, we'll see.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Well, thank you for chatting to me.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Let's turn to our Blue team today, great friends, Kerry and Rich.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41- Hello to you.- Hello.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Tell me, how did you two meet? Cos you're great friends.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Yes, my best friend Rachel had started dating a guy from work,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51so she asked me to come down and vet him and see what I thought,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54and whether she should carry on seeing him.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- I think I've passed the test. - Yeah, no pressure there, Rich!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- That's terrifying! - And all these years later,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01they're engaged and getting married soon.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Oh, congratulations. - With a baby on the way.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Yeah, as well.- No! How exciting! That's lovely.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09So, Kerry, tell me, what do you do for work?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I'm a community dietician, so I work in an area called Solihull
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and I lead a team of dieticians who try to prevent
0:04:15 > 0:04:17and treat malnutrition in the community.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Absolutely wonderfully rewarding career.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Great stuff. Now, Rich, what about you?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What's your story? Where do you work?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24So, I'm the deputy creative director
0:04:24 > 0:04:26at an advertising agency in Birmingham.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Wow.- And I'm responsible for writing the adverts
0:04:30 > 0:04:31for a number of British brands.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35So, YOU'RE the guy that comes up with all those witty tag lines
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and everyone thinks, "Oh, I wish I'd thought of that?"
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I am, yes. And the odd pun, as well.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Now, what about your spare time? How do you relax?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I visit a number of car-boot sales and flea markets.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- So, you're a real collector? - Yeah, I think what I like to do
0:04:48 > 0:04:50is sort of go through old antiques books,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52find out what's on trend,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57and then go to the car-boot sales and find some odd pieces.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Well, why not? Why not?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Now, you've got to go to the shops today
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and in order to spend some money,
0:05:02 > 0:05:03I'm going to have to give you some money.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07So, Julie, for the Reds, £300.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And, Kerry, for the Blues, £300.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Your experts are so excited to meet you,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14so go find them and get to those shops.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Good luck, everybody! - Thank you. Let's go.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Well, they'll be rifling for bargains today
0:05:19 > 0:05:22and hopefully they're successful. Let's see how it all pans out.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So, let's meet today's experts. She doesn't need
0:05:27 > 0:05:30to blow her own trumpet. For the Reds, it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And leading the Blue army, it's Gary Pe.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39So, what are you going to be looking out for, you two?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Militaria, even brown furniture.- OK.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44We're going to look out for some really interesting items,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- maybe some mid-century modern. - Mid-century - just my style.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Some exotic silver.- Yes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- And maybe some very unusual jewellery.- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Are we going to be safe or are we going to be bold?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I think we're going to go with our hearts, Gary.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01We're going to buy something we like.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03BELL RINGS Get ready, teams.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Your time starts now. - Let's get shopping.- OK.- Come on.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11So, our teams head straight to an antique centre,
0:06:11 > 0:06:12and first to the Reds,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15where something has immediately caught Kate's eye.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Oh, there's a nice Gladstone bag there.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20These are starting to make quite good money. A bit of vintage.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22They are, and it's a good size.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25It is, isn't it? Yeah, it's not bad inside.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Slightly tatty there.- Bit tatty. - But at least it's fairly clean.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- It is.- And that's what you've got to check for.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- That would do for me, wouldn't it, John?- It would.- No!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- We've got 85 on there. - Ooh!- Oh, gosh.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I have to say, at auction, though,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I would probably put a conservative estimate of 20-40.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yeah, I was thinking that.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- So, we're quite a long way off that price, aren't we?- We are.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It's not for the Reds,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51but are the Blues looking at their first item?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54What about the plate with the lady's head on?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58That looks like an English plate, probably by Foley.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It has that Art Nouveau feel about it, doesn't it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Those sinuous forms in the face.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- What sort of period is that? - I would say about 1900s.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- It says £30 on it.- Oh, £30!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Thank you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- It's very light.- It's not Foley.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- And how do you know that? - Just by the feel of it now.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Is it hand-done?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27That is hand-painted, but I think that this was painted,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- basically, at home, on a porcelain blank.- Ah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Sadly. Quite expertly done.- Mm-hm.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37And it's got the Vienna mark.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I would have liked if the back stamp said Foley,
0:07:40 > 0:07:45an English potter or factory from Staffordshire.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Very collectable.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- It's lovely.- Yes. - Yeah, I like your style.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53So, a no for the Blues. Come on, teams.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Who's going to break the Bargain Hunt ice
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- with their first buy? - I quite like that.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Ooh!- The jug at the back?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Do you know, John, I like that, too.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- That's rather nice, isn't it? - That is lovely.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- You like that?- I do.- Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Look at the design on the glass.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Is that would you like about it, it's cut glass?- Yes, I think so.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14That catches my eye.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- What have we got on there?- It's £80.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19See, I think that is rather smart.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Well, I do, especially for the price.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I think that is a good buy.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I have to say, if it were silver, at auction,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29it might make anything from 100-150,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33maybe a little bit more. But it's not, it's plated.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I love this cut glass.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39This is what's known as a serrated border there.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- I do.- And sometimes people call it hobnail cutting
0:08:41 > 0:08:43cos it's a bit like a hobnail boot.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And a lovely what's known as a star-cut base,
0:08:46 > 0:08:47is a really nice sign of quality.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- But also, age.- Yes.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53And I would put this, probably, with the cutting,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55at early 20th century.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- What do you think, price? - I would say, because it's plated,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02at auction, being mean,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I would say, yeah, 30-50, maybe a little bit more.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- But it's a nice thing. - Right, time to start talking price.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I can do that for...
0:09:12 > 0:09:13It's got 85.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Yeah, I can do it for 65.- 65?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Yeah.- OK.- I can't go any lower, I'm afraid.- You can't?- No.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- That's the absolute death, is it?- It is, yeah.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Then I think we should go for it. Take a chance.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Do you know, I do like decisive contestants.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Good, you've got some. Right, thanks very much.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Well done, Reds. That's your first item.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36First purchase. Pretty smoky, I would say.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39With 15 minutes gone, the Blues are playing catch up.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- What do you think of those? - Nice. I like the colours.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Are those German, Gary? - Two of them are probably German.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50And one is certainly from the French region of Vallauris,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- that big one there. - The tall one.- Exactly.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Now, I can see from here that the blue one
0:09:57 > 0:10:00is identified as being from Vallauris.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03As far as I am concerned, it could also be West German.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05There's a lot of similarities
0:10:05 > 0:10:08between the pottery coming out of those two regions,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11cos they operated at the same time during the '50s.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13The very tall one in the centre
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- does remind me of German fat lava. - Yes, exactly.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Lava - that's the operative word. Exactly.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- We can come back to it, OK? - Let's come back to it.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Another item left behind by the Blues.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26But could Julie have found something from her wish list?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I just love the design. I think it's exotic.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I did say I wanted something a little bit exotic.- You did.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I think it's exotic cos I love the pattern.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- It's certainly very elaborate, isn't it?- It says it's Edwardian.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- It's £120.- Yeah, and it is, of course, it's a caster.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45- It's a sugar caster.- Yes.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49And I have to say, it's the mother of all sugar casters, isn't it?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- It is, isn't it? - It's a huge thing, really.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's fairly light, though.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55When we look at silver objects, we weigh them up,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58we talk about the gauge of silver, actually how much silver is in it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's relatively light for a good-sized object.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- It is very light. - But I know what you're saying -
0:11:03 > 0:11:04there's this lovely, embossed decoration
0:11:04 > 0:11:07where the silver's been hammered from the reverse side
0:11:07 > 0:11:11to push it outwards to give that lovely, three-dimensional effect.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Oh, it's Chester hallmarked, which is quite nice
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- cos Chester's a little bit more unusual.- Yeah.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I think, because we've already got one nice object,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22it's not silver, it's silver-plated,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26perhaps we should have a bit of a look around before we decide.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Before we decide, OK. - But I do think it's a nice thing.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- That's fine. Well, we can keep it in mind.- Yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36The sugar caster could be a sweet purchase for later.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41With the Blues, it looks like Rich is sound as a hound.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44What do you think of the pair of cast greyhounds?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Well, I can tell you, in terms of greyhounds,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- they're not period. - I was going to say I love those.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Yeah, I quite like them. - Well, I like dogs, so...
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- The price is 125 for the pair. - 125 for the pair, so...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Which is basically a reproduction price.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02They're nicely modelled.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Easy does it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- They're very heavy.- Oh, excellent.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10That's what... In which case, let's lay that down here.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12These greyhounds need tender loving care.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Let's lay the other one so they're talking to each other.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Aw, they are.- They're talking to me as well, Gary.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Oh, that's good! Look at that. Aw!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25There you go. I mean, that looks even better, doesn't it?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I think they're really lovely.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I think they're great. I think they're well cast.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30They're well cast, that's right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33There's something quite intriguing about their faces.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- They feel quite modern.- Exactly.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- I mean, they're not antique Deco pieces from the '30s.- No.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- What do you think they're made of? - They're cast iron.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43What do you think, first item?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I think yes, if we can try and negotiate a price.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Should you go and get the best price?- OK, Gary.- OK.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Is she good at this? - She's very good at this.- Really?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Yes, she's more of a haggler than I am.- Ah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ooh, 89!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- 89!- He can do 89.- Great stuff.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- That's the best I can do. - All right, you love them,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I love that you love them.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Let's go for it. - And you love them, too.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Yes, I do. I'm a dog lover.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Aw!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Well done, Kerry. You're now level with the Reds at one-all.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18But could this item Julie spotted put them back into the lead?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Ooh, it's ceramic. - What do you think?- Ceramic top.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Or do you think that's painted?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm just going to have a look with my glass, actually.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30You wanted exotic, didn't you?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Yeah, well, I mean, to me, that stood out.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I think it's been enamelled,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39so, basically, it's been painted on.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Yeah, it's definitely a painted scene there.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Date-wise, I would say, just looking at the inside, as well,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48it's probably very early 20th century, maybe 1920s.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's lovely that the mirror looks good.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I think that looks like the original one, too.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It's beautifully engine-turned. And it is nice, isn't it?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- It's very, very nice.- What do you think about that price, then?
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Well, that's not too high, so if we could negotiate...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So, what's the best Simon can do on this one?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Would you consider 35?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I can't, I'm afraid. I'll do it for 50.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Ooh, we really would like a bit lower than that.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Maybe 40. - I'll meet you in the middle, 45.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Would you?- 45?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Good, I... That appeals to me. - All right, lovely.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- That is lovely.- Great, well done.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Lovely! And I can tell you really like that.- I do.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Well done, Reds!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Whilst the Blues are looking for item number two
0:14:38 > 0:14:41with half their time already gone, they have to get busy shopping.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45But it looks like Kerry's interested in the bear necessities.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Aw, what about this teddy?- Aw!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- It's very cute, isn't it? - It's got an eaten ear.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Yes.- Full of character.- Of course. What do you know about teddy bears?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Do you know anything about teddy bears?
0:14:57 > 0:14:58I know the Steiff bears.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Yes, they're the ones that sell. - They're expensive.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- But I know that people love bears.- Absolutely.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- And look at that expression. - Yeah, he's got a lovely little face.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09What do you think? He's £60.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12He's worn. But that means well loved.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14He could not be on auction and not be so old.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Absolutely. That's a plus for teddy bears.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- I don't really want to sell him. - THEY LAUGH
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Shall we have a look? Come on, let's pick him up.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24He's got a little bit more fur on his back.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Aw!- Aw!- Aw!
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Are you going to be able to part with this, Kerry?- No!
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- That's going to be a problem, is it?- No.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- How old do you think he might be? - Oh, certainly before 1950s.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- He's had a lot of cuddles, that's for sure.- Absolutely.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41I like the articulated legs and arms,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and that elongated nose. And look at that expression.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Shall we see what the best price is the dealer will do?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Yeah, you do your best, Rich. - So you do it this time?- Yes.- OK.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54So, is Rich going to get a good price on that bear?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- Thanks for bearing with me, guys. - THEY LAUGH
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- I've spoken to the dealer.- Right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03And we've managed to get the price down from £60...
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- To...?- £30!- Yes!- 30? That's amazing!- There you go.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That's a cute price on a cute bear.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Well done, team. Number two, let's go.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- Let's go.- Yeah?- Yeah.- Good.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Now level with the Reds, what's Julie picked up?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22This is just something we think could be brass,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25but this, again, the design caught my eye.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Yeah.- But it's just unusual, we thought.- Yeah, it is.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Gosh, it's heavier than I thought, actually.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I think, if you do that and you look at that,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36it's beautifully cast
0:16:36 > 0:16:39and there are elements of Art Nouveau, I would say,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41almost sort of what's known as whiplash motifs,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44which Art Nouveau is very well known for.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Turn it over, there's been a few goings-on on the back here.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You've got a repair or something going on here.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51What sort of price are we talking about?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Not very much, £60.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55But the reason I've done that is,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59as soon as you do that, she just looks so grumpy.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Don't you think? - She does a little bit.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And for me, that actually puts me off,
0:17:04 > 0:17:05that doesn't appeal to me.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, it's a no to the grumpy face,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11but how can the Blues say no to this smiling face?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Oh, this is great, isn't it? - It's a bunny wabbit.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- THEY LAUGH - Oh, it's got plenty of character.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Oh, he does.- Carry on with the animalia theme?
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- Oh, yes.- This looks like something that's come out of a fair,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28one of these merry-go-rounds.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30It looks absolutely original.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Most of these items, actually, came from Czechoslovakia, Eastern Europe.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38The problem is, we need to know the price.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Fairground figure - 395.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43A little bit out of our budget.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Let's go and find something else, shall we?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48One more item. Go on!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50There's no point rabbiting on at that price.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52How are the Reds doing?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So, we've got a pair of mustard pots.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58What do you think? Do you want to have one each?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- We like, we like.- Oh, look at this. - You like?- Oh, we do.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Oh, and a liner, too. - You've got the blue glass liners.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The original liners, as well. The blue glass liners.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Very desirable. We could even put our initial on there, look, John.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You could. You've got what's known as a vacant cartouche
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- which could be engraved.- Somebody could put their initial on there.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18John, straight in to the ticket price.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- 95.- 95. Now, they are Victorian, just.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25The hallmarks are lovely and crisp on the bottom.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31The best thing is, though, that they are dated for 1899,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32but the hallmarks match.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35They are absolutely a pair,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38which is really nice to have, actually.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40The condition, as far as I can see, is lovely.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- It is, isn't it?- You've got this lovely embossed work
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- which I thought you would like. - Yeah.- I do.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47But I've had a little chat to the owner here.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I was just going to ask you. That was my next question.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51And the best price - although there's no negotiation,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54he said this is absolutely the death -
0:18:54 > 0:18:56the best price is 75.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Oh!- Oh, definitely.- Now, bearing in mind you've got a pair,
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I don't think that's too bad.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- I don't, for what they are. - I think that's good.- Yeah?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- I think that's excellent. - Good choice.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I think we should go for these.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Do you?- Definitely. - 100% happy?- Yes.- Oh, very happy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14We're all done, then. All three pieces.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Ooh, we are!- Right. Which means coffee time?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19It does, John, it does. Come on. Well done!
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Fantastic job, with 15 minutes to spare.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25But the Blues have one more item to find.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Found this bust.- I can see! - HE LAUGHS
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Yes.- We quite like it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33We feel there's a great sense that it's been worked by the sculptor.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Well, it certainly has. What else do you like about it?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- I like his expression on his face. - Right. It's a bit of ceramics.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Certainly qualifies as a mid-century piece,
0:19:43 > 0:19:49- and I see that it's got an initial here - JM or MJ.- Yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The first question is, how much is it?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55So, the price is 230.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58We've got £181 left.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- Well, you really like this, right? We love it.- Yes, it's striking.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Well, in which case, I've got no say in this because this is your game.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10You really like it, somebody else probably will.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- I'm sure, yeah. - So, who's going to do it?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- I'm going.- I think Kerry should. - Kerry, go and find the price.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20The pressure's on, Kerry. So, can you get the price down?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's good news, I think.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- 170.- Great stuff.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- So, it's within budget. - I think we're very happy with it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Go for it?- Yeah, I reckon go for it. 170.- Gary, are you on board?
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I defer to you. It's your game. You love it, then I love it, too.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Yes. Third item done!
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Yay!- Yay!- Yay!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45And just like that, time is up.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51They both loved this early 20th-century claret jug,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54bought for £65.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57This brass compact with a London view cost them £45.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03And these Victorian silver mustard pots cost a spicy £75.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Well, John, Julie, what a cool, calm and considered shop.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- There was time to spare at the end. - I know.- How good is that?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15It's very good. We are fantastic.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- THEY LAUGH - I agree.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Is there anything that you bought that you'd have liked to take home?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I would have liked the compact that I chose, I have to say.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25I could have that in my handbag now.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27And, John, you loved those mustard pots.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- I did, very much so.- So smart.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Yeah, they were our favourite, I think.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34But which is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35What do you think, Julie?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Well, I think, for what Kate paid for them,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40possibly the mustard pots.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Oh, you've got real faith in these. - Well, they were quality items.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Solid silver.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Well, in the end, this team spent £185.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55It leaves Kate £115, so if I could please take that from you, Julie...
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Thank you. Straight to Kate. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01And it seems to be mustard pots - deal of the day.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Are you going to buy a set of mustard pots with that?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Do you know, I've got my eye on a little gem,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- so I just hope it's still there.- Ooh.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Well, while Kate goes to find her little gem,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16These bronze painted greyhounds
0:22:16 > 0:22:19became Rich's new best friends at £89.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Kerry fell in love with this teddy bear and paid £30.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And could this sculpture, costing £170,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29get them ahead at the auction?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30That was quite good.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33You only had about ten minutes to spare at the end.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- You weren't down to the wire. - It was a little bit intense.- Yeah?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Yeah, we were running round everywhere,
0:22:38 > 0:22:39looking for our third item.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42But in the end, we got there, three items.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Which, Rich, is your favourite?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48The sculpted head - the hollow head -
0:22:48 > 0:22:50that we paid £170 for.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Yes, Gary was so pleased about that, actually(!)
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Yes, absolutely(!) - SHE LAUGHS
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But is he going to make you the biggest profit?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I think it could, yeah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03We've had a little chat afterwards and we definitely think...
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- Optimism.- ..there's some room for a little bit of profit.- Right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09And believe it or not, I gave you £300,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12and you good people spent 289.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- I love your style.- We did.- We did.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Well, you have left Gary, your lovely expert,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21your new best friend, £11, which I'll take from you, Kerry.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25£11. I mean, Gary, I hope you don't have expensive taste
0:23:25 > 0:23:27cos you're not going to get very far.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I've got my work cut out.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I mean, look at all these gorgeous things.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'll have to ask the owner to keep this place open all night
0:23:34 > 0:23:36to find something that's worth £11.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Well, while Gary does an all-nighter,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I'm off to Nottingham in search of salvation.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46You may not instantly recognise this face,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48but you're looking at William Booth,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52and this man created one of the world's most recognisable
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and iconic charities, The Salvation Army.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04William was born in this very house on the 10th of April, 1829.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08It's now known as the William Booth Birthplace Museum,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and I'm here to discover what led this great man to a life of charity.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'm here to meet curator, Julie Obermeyer.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Hello, you must be Julie. - Welcome. Please come in.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I will do. I'll follow you.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26William was born right here in this bedroom,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and in what was a comfortable Georgian home.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Julie, I don't know how impressed I'm meant to be by this door,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- but I presume it's got massive significance.- It does.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43This is the actual door to the pawnbroking shop
0:24:43 > 0:24:46where William had to work when he was 13.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50He ended up working here because his father basically went bankrupt
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and they couldn't afford to keep him in school.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55So, he was taken out of school
0:24:55 > 0:24:59and apprenticed to Francis Eames, the pawnbroker.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I think it made a tremendous impact on his life
0:25:01 > 0:25:03because up until this point,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06he'd lived a middle-class life with his family,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10and suddenly, he was thrust working amongst the people
0:25:10 > 0:25:13who were the poorest and the most destitute of Nottingham.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18And within a short time after starting here, his father died,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21at which point, William became, really, the breadwinner
0:25:21 > 0:25:24for his mother and his three sisters.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28William converted to Methodism and began preaching to the poor
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and the destitute on the streets of Nottingham.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33But when his apprenticeship came to an end,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36he struggled to find work and moved to London.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42And whilst in London, William met the love of his life, Catherine.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46They eventually married and helped form The Christian Mission,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48helping the needy in London's East End.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52So, when did the charity take on the name The Salvation Army?
0:25:52 > 0:25:58The movement had been operating as The Christian Mission from 1865,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01and 13 years later, in 1878,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03William was writing an annual report
0:26:03 > 0:26:05for The Christian Mission and had written,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08"The Christian Mission is a volunteer army."
0:26:08 > 0:26:10And his son Bramwell stopped him and said,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13"Dad, I'm not a volunteer, I'm a regular."
0:26:13 > 0:26:15He didn't want to be considered a volunteer.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18He was serious about this and it was his full-time work.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23So, William crossed out volunteer and wrote in the word salvation,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and the name has stuck since then.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29The Salvation Army became a huge success,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32expanding to 58 countries in his lifetime.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36His work helped people all over the world.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40So, how did brass bands come to be associated with The Salvation Army?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Well, The Salvation Army took on a lot of military elements.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47And brass bands developed
0:26:47 > 0:26:51out of their reaching out to wider audiences on the street
0:26:51 > 0:26:53and trying to go to areas
0:26:53 > 0:26:55where people weren't comfortable in churches.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59So, it was a way to reach people on the streets,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02to attract their attention and draw them in.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06William died in 1912, aged 83.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10His funeral took place in London and was attended by many thousands.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13It was a funeral fit for royalty.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19William Booth lived a long life in difficult times.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Experiencing poverty as a young man,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24he took it upon himself to change the lives of others,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27not just here in Nottinghamshire, but across the world.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31And today, The Salvation Army is still one of the world's
0:27:31 > 0:27:34most recognisable charities, and it's all thanks to this man,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37who died over 100 years ago.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39But now it's time to head to the auction
0:27:39 > 0:27:42where our Red and Blue armies do battle.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55So, here we are in Nottingham now, at Mellors & Kirk auction house.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I'm with Nigel Kirk, auctioneer.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Hi, Nigel.- Hello. - Thank you for having us along.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We're going to start off with the Red team.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03We'll start off with the claret jug.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Nice plated top to it. What do you think?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It's very well made, isn't it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I would have thought probably Edwardian period,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12certainly before the First World War.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Electroplate, with a very high-quality, cut-glass body.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- And in good order. - What's it worth, Nigel?
0:28:18 > 0:28:23- £40-£60.- OK, well, John paid £65 for the claret jug,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25so perhaps you'll have to keep the hammer up a wee bit longer
0:28:25 > 0:28:28than you were expecting, and try and make that mark.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31So, we'll move on next to this lovely compact.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33It's enamelled with a view of London.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Quite touristy, would you say?- It is.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38At first sight, one wants to sort of grab it and think,
0:28:38 > 0:28:43"This is a really valuable thing." But it isn't. It's poor quality.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Although enamelled, gilded brass compact.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- What do you reckon it's worth? - Well, because of that,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I've estimated it at 30-50.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Well, at £45 paid, it sounds like a very fair estimate to me.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- Fair price, yeah. - So, then we'll move on
0:28:55 > 0:28:59to these silver mustard pots, and the quality is there, isn't it?
0:28:59 > 0:29:04It is, yes. And also, again, good condition, very well made.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09And pre-1900, just. Late Victorian. Sheffield, 1899.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12With the blue glass liners.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15The only criticism, if there is one, with those,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18is I think they would have been part of a condiment set.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19But who knows?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23They are a pair, they are attractive and they're eminently usable.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25What do you think they're going to make, Nigel?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26That's the all-important question.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I've given them an estimate of 70-90,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31but it wouldn't surprise me to see them make just over 100.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Oh, well, that would be fantastic because they only paid £75.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- They must be professionals. - They must be!
0:29:37 > 0:29:40But, do you know, for each item, they've pretty much paid
0:29:40 > 0:29:42almost exactly what you think they're going to make,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44so they might well need their bonus buy.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47So, let's find out what Kate bought for the Reds.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Well, Julie and John, you were very brave and bold,
0:29:51 > 0:29:53and dared to spend quite a lot of the money
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- that we gave to you.- We tried. - You did try very well.
0:29:57 > 0:30:03- However, you still left Kate £115. Go on, show us, Kate.- Are you ready?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Well, I had just a bit of a hunch that a piece of jewellery
0:30:06 > 0:30:08might light your fire.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12If we just have a closer look, you can see it's a lovely pendant.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16It's what's known as a sort of openwork design,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19which gives it a lovely, elegant feel to it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22It's probably Edwardian in date.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24And then, in the centre, suspended here,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27you've got what I think is probably an aquamarine.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Certainly aquamarine in colour.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32It's on a nine carat gold fine chain.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Oh, it's very light, isn't it? Very delicate.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37It is. It's very delicate.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39How much did you pay for this?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- So, I paid £50.- Oh, that's good.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- That's good.- That is very good.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46You don't need to make your mind up now,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49but it seems the pendant is to everyone's personal taste.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51It's time to find out if Nigel, our auctioneer,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54thinks it's as good as gold.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Now, how big are your buyers on vintage jewellery, Nigel?
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Tell me what you think of this necklace.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It always sells well because it's small
0:31:03 > 0:31:06and in these days with internet bidding from all around the world,
0:31:06 > 0:31:10it's easily posted, so I think this'll do quite well.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12It's in reasonably good condition.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I think it's probably going to make £50, £60.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16OK, well, fantastic.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Kate paid £50 for it...- That's good. - ..so she'll be very pleased.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Now, let's move on to Kerry and Rich.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Are you excited by his buys?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Other buys have excited me more, shall I say.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33Shall we start off with this sculptural pair of greyhounds?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36These are made of cast iron,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40which have been painted with a finish to resemble bronze.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44But these are of so recent a period,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47in my opinion, they still feel quite warm.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Well, what's your estimate, first of all?- £40-£60.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Kerry and Rich paid £89. - That does seem a lot.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56But, you never know, it might all depend
0:31:56 > 0:32:00on another animal in their collection, the teddy bear.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- What do you think of him?- Not a lot.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05I had a feeling you were going to say that.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07He's a little bit worn, shall we say?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- Well loved.- Well loved.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12There's a fine line between destined for the bin
0:32:12 > 0:32:15and attractively loved and play-worn,
0:32:15 > 0:32:19and I'm not quite sure where on that line this poor bear sits,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21so I've said £5-£10.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Well, they paid £30 for the teddy bear.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- I hope I'm wrong.- Yeah, so do I,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31because it would be nice to see them make a profit on this wee lad.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34And talking of wee lads, shall we move onto this big lad over here?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36It's an incredible work of art, isn't it?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39It's sculptured clay, larger than life-size.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I don't know if it's a head of a real person
0:32:42 > 0:32:46or someone the sculptor has imagined.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48It's in very good condition.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50There is a monogram on the back - MJ.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54And preliminary research leads me to think it might be the work
0:32:54 > 0:32:59of a studio potter called Muriel Tudor Jones.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03So, attributed to this artist. Excellent, quirky style.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05At what sort of price?
0:33:05 > 0:33:06Very difficult to predict.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09£50 or £60, maybe, but could be more.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13They haggled for him, and yet, they still paid £170.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16It's a speculative purchase, and it might...
0:33:16 > 0:33:18On the face of it, that does seem a lot,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22but it's not impossible they will get their money back.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Perhaps they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Let's see what Gary came up with for the Blues.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Well, Kerry, I think I have a sneaking suspicion
0:33:31 > 0:33:33as to why you're on your own, but tell us, where's Rich?
0:33:33 > 0:33:37So, last night, his fiancee Rachel gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- Do we have a name?- She's Edith Jean. - Aw, that is so cute!
0:33:41 > 0:33:45And in true Bargain Hunt spirit, he says she's absolutely priceless.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48That's so lovely! Well, please send him our regards.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- I will do, will do. - So, it's all on you, Kerry.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- It is today.- It's all on you.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- And you left £11 for Gary.- We did.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Well, it's not quite as priceless as the new baby girl...
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- OK.- ..but I was able to find this.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- OK.- It's a bookmark... - A bookmark, OK.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08..in 830 silver.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13It is by a Danish silversmith called Hugo Grun.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18In Denmark, they called this kind of work skonvirke,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20which means "beautiful work".
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- And for £10, I was quite happy to have found this.- OK.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- For £10?!- £10.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29And what do you think you could get for it at auction?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Times four.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- £40.- That would be good, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Well, it's all on you today, Kerry, so don't make your mind up just now.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39It's time to find out if Nigel
0:34:39 > 0:34:42thinks that this is a Danish delight.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Now, we know that there are millions of lovers
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- of Danish silver out there, Nigel.- Yes.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- How much do you love this? - I think it's great.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Although it's only a small piece, it's a collectors' item.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56It's collectable because it's a bookmark.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58And it's also going to be of interest
0:34:58 > 0:35:00to people that like Arts and Crafts
0:35:00 > 0:35:02and Scandinavian decorative arts of that period.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06I particularly like the fact that it's not just plain silver.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09It's studded with a cabochon, and the green cabochon is a chrysoprase.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12It's a beautiful item, I totally agree.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15That little dot of colour just lifts the whole thing.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17But how much does it lift the estimate?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Probably £40-£60 is about it.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25Well, I think Gary Pe must be the most genius man that's ever existed
0:35:25 > 0:35:27because he somehow managed to pay £10...
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Amazing!- ..for this little bookmark.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32And in general, for the sale today, is it a positive outlook, Nigel?
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Yes, it is, it is. The market's good.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Great. Well, let's keep that positive energy going
0:35:36 > 0:35:37as we head to the auction.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Well, John and Julie, Kate,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50as a team, you stand in front of the auctioneer.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Are you confident in the lots that you bought?
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Supremely.- We are.- I'm glad that you're laughing and giggling.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58It means there's a wee bit of nervous excitement.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00And it's time for your first lot to go under the hammer.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05Lot 184. The EPNS-mounted, cut-glass claret jug.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07£20, again, is bid at 20.
0:36:07 > 0:36:0925. 30 for it.
0:36:09 > 0:36:1130. 35. 40.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- 45 for it.- Oh, come on. - £40. A room bidder.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Selling in the room at 40.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1945. 50.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- No? £45 to you, madam. - GAVEL BANGS
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Oh, 45!
0:36:24 > 0:36:26We're starting on a tiny wee loss of £20,
0:36:26 > 0:36:28but don't worry cos the compact's up next.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Lot 185.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Gilt brass compact with an enamelled view of London.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37£30, I have for this on commission.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38At 35. £40.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4045. 50. 60.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- He's at £60!- 60!- Profit!
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- 70. At £70, and I shall sell at 70. - GAVEL BANGS
0:36:47 > 0:36:52- £70!- Well done! Well done! - What a team. £70.- Brilliant.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54So, that's plus 25,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57so all of a sudden, you're back in profit, plus five.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Now, £75 was paid for these mustard pots, so here we go.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Lot 186.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06A pair of Victorian pierced silver cylindrical mustard pots.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08£50, I am bid for the pair of these.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11At 50. 60. 70. 80.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- 80! Yes, profit!- 90, 100.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- £100, I am bid. 110 for them?- Come on!
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- At £100, selling. - GAVEL BANGS
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Yes!- Terrific.- £100.- Excellent.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24That's another 25, so all of a sudden,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27you have ended up plus 30.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Now, bonus buy.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- I think we'll go.- I think we'll go. - We'll definitely go.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- It's lovely.- Yes, we have faith.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Right, Reds, here comes your blue pendant.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Lot 192, it's the pierced gold pendant.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44And £30, I am bid for this. At 35. £40. 45.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- 40, I'm bid. 45 for it?- Oh, come on.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Over here at £45
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- in the room, and I sell. - GAVEL BANGS
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Oh, no!- Just out.- Oh, no.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- I'm really sorry, guys. - That was surprising.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58So, it's made a tiny loss of £5,
0:37:58 > 0:38:01which dents your profit ever so slightly.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03£25 is what you've ended up with.
