0:00:02 > 0:00:03Taxi!
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Bargain Hunt today comes from Warwickshire,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10birthplace of the Hackney carriage,
0:00:10 > 0:00:15and where today the iconic London taxi cab is still assembled.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20I'm off to an antique and collectors fair at the British Motor Museum.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22So, driver, as fast as you can, please!
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51There's plenty to see at the motor museum,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54but it's upstairs that I'll find today's action.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00With 100 stalls offering vintage, collectable and quirky items,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03our teams certainly won't be short of things to choose from.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09They have £300 and just one hour in which to buy three items
0:01:09 > 0:01:11to take off to auction. Now,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14let's hope there's not too much backfiring on today's programme.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Let's have a look at the road ahead.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22'On today's show, it's sanitary insanity for the Reds...'
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- What's this thing here? - Oh, that, madam, is a bidet.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oh, is it? I thought it was a baby bath!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32'..while the Blues are turbo-charged.'
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- You're racing away, you two. - Yeah!- We said we'd hit the ground.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- We're on the ball. - You are on the ball.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41'But at the auction, it's surprises all round.'
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Yeah!- Thomas, while I remember...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But that's all for later. Now, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48We've got two pairs of friends.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50For the Reds we have Lynne and Glenys
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and for the Blues, Richard and Julia.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Crikey! Oh, my word.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- You're looking forward to this, aren't you?- Yes!- Definitely.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- And so are you, girls. - Very excited.- Very excited.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Are you competitive? BOTH:- Very competitive.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Very competitive?- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- I suppose you ought to be - you're both golfers, aren't you?- We are.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Who is the better golfer?- Lynne.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- You were captain once.- I'm lady captain now, yeah.- Wonderful.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You're more the social secretary, I expect.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17No, no, I'm just the drinker.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20That's what I call a social secretary.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Very good! You're a bit of a competition winner, aren't you?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I am. Yeah, I used to do loads of competitions, mainly on the radio.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- Yeah.- My biggest win was a car.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- You won a car?!- I did.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I had to kiss this car for hours.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Kiss it?!- Kiss it with my lips on the car and my nose could touch,
0:02:37 > 0:02:38- but nothing else.- How exhausting.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Very tiring and in between you'd answer questions and at the end
0:02:41 > 0:02:45the question was, how long in inches is the car?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- So I wrote down 144.5 inches or something...- Yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52..and, erm, won. Exactly right.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Fantastic.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Now, Glenys, you're not quite as straightforward as that, are you?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- You're a bit of a rebel, aren't you? - Slightly.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00What do you mean slightly?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Well, when I was 20...- Yes! THEY LAUGH
0:03:03 > 0:03:06..I decided I wanted to go and live in America...
0:03:06 > 0:03:07- As you do.- As you do.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12..so I applied to the American Embassy and when I got the form
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I thought, there's no way my mother or father will sign this,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- so I forged my mother's signature. - THEY GASP
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I don't think she knows to this day.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Then I finished up in San Francisco and went to the last Beatles concert
0:03:23 > 0:03:28in Candlestick Park on 29th August, 1966.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Have you still got the ticket? - I still have the ticket, yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Oh, that would be worth a few bob. - Well, I don't know.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Priceless to you, of course. - Yes, absolutely. I'd never sell it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So what about antiques, girls? Will you be spending big or small?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- I think we'll be moderate.- Yes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Moderate.- Mmm.- And leave a little bit for your expert.- Yes.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Thank you very much indeed, girls. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Onto the Blue team - Richard and Julia.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- How long have you known each other? - About 14 years now.- Wonderful.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Richard, you're recently retired. - Yes, I am. Unbelievable, isn't it?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56THEY LAUGH
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I can't possibly imagine anybody so young being retired.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Yes, I recently retired from...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I was a health improvement specialist
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- and I managed a Stop Smoking service team.- Oh, brilliant.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09But you didn't start in that line, did you?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11No, I didn't. I did acting.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Acting?- Yes.- You met someone quite famous...
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Yes, when I left drama school I did a BBC film called Nancy Astor
0:04:20 > 0:04:23in 1982 and played a porter in a hotel.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And my scene was in this hotel.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29There was a big sweeping staircase and I had to go
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- follow Pierce Brosnan up the staircase.- Did you?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And I was carrying his cases and when I got halfway up,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38he turned to me and obviously said something and off I went.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Don't you remember what he said?- No.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Shame. - He probably said I was wonderful.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46THEY LAUGH
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- It made the difference. - Yes!- Exactly.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- He's done quite well, hasn't he? - He hasn't done badly.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Now, Julia, what about you? What do you do with your life?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I work in a care home...
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Yeah?- A nursing home. I'm in entertainment activities.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Are you?- So I try and cheer them up. I do a lot of singing,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I dress up and do silly things.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- What do you like singing? - I sing a lot of old-time songs
0:05:10 > 0:05:15from the wars - Pack Up Your Troubles, It's A Long Way To Tipperary.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19TOGETHER: # Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
0:05:19 > 0:05:24# And smile, smile, smile. #
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Thank you very much. Now, what about antiques?
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- And tactics?- Tactics is that we're going to go big
0:05:33 > 0:05:37and also, we are not going to buy particular things that we like.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38It's what we can make money out of.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Very good. Well, I've got money for you, which will come as a great,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45great boost to you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I like a man who gives me money.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Do you?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Well, off you go and have a great shop.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52- Off you go.- Can't wait!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Golfers versus thespians - pick a winner out of that lot.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04On hand to help today, we have the fairest expert of them all,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06it's Richard Madley for the Reds.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12And hoping to make plenty of bread for the Blues, it's Thomas Plant.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Have we come out with a shopping list today?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18On my shopping list I've got vintage handbags and vintage clothes,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- if possible. - What about you, Richard?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I like china stuff but I'm also looking for something really different.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I'm partial to a bit of jewellery, the glittery the better.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I really love jewellery...
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- Good.- ..so I'm going to look for that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Right, teams, your time starts now.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36WHISTLE TOOTS
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I think I know where we'll start.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Come with me.- I want something that's going to scream out at me.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- To scream at you.- Yes. - Well, let's go and find it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46One hour to go.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Yeah, OK.- We need to go quicker.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Really?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Our Blues are off to a speedy start.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55What have they set their sights on?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Something like this.- Oh, yes, we love the jelly moulds as well, don't we?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Is that 160, that jelly mould?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It probably is. It looks like a Victorian jelly mould.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- It's says, "Victorian copper jelly mould."- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I mean, that's lovely.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09We certainly know it's a British Victorian one
0:07:09 > 0:07:12because on the Continental ones and the later versions,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15these ends are curled up, they're almost moulded up.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It might be made by Benham & Froud,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20who were great jelly mould makers.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Looking at sort of 1850s, 1860s.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Yes.- But it is a lot of money, though, £160.- Yes.- Yes, I think so.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It's what we feel we make out of that.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Yeah.- What is the best on the jelly mould, please?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- 160...- That's the Victorian one...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Yes.- I could do 120.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36At auction they're very popular.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I am going to be really cheeky and say it's worth £70 to £90.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- I was going to offer you 80. - 95, would that...?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46That's... That's really as low as I can go.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47What if we met you halfway, 90?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Yeah?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- OK.- Do you want to go for it?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Go for it!- Do you want to do it? - Yeah!- I love that.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Go on.- Thank you very much.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- We're not going to muck about. - Thank you, sir.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02My word, first item seen is the first item bought.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05That's one purchase down in just five minutes.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Meanwhile, has Richard found some haute couture?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Now, in here I spotted already some vintage clothing -
0:08:12 > 0:08:15just what you had on your shopping list.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Fashion may be on the shopping list,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19but will these bags pass the ladies' inspection?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24No.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- No.- No?- No. That's a no.- Right, OK.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Well, that was decisive. She knows what she wants, doesn't she?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Yes. She knows what I want.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33THEY LAUGH
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Time for a bit of a rethink on that shopping list.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I don't think it's really what we'd want to take to auction,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- if I'm honest.- Vintage clothing is very specialised and it may be
0:08:42 > 0:08:45the right label but if it's the wrong size, it doesn't fit,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49so I'm glad that you've come to that conclusion early on
0:08:49 > 0:08:50cos I'm rather with you.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56So that leaves the Reds looking for glitzy jewellery.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57What have the Blues found?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00It makes a little bell noise, look.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01- Yeah, he's got a little bell in. - Yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's also like a Merrythought Cheeky bear,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05cos they had little bells in them, but he doesn't...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- He's not straw-filled. - Right.- Right.- Probably...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I wouldn't say he's older than 1960s...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Oh, OK.- ..cos he's not straw-filled, do you see what I mean?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- But he has got plastic eyes. - Oh, yes.- In my opinion...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19In my opinion, it's a no-go.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- No.- Right, OK.- Is that all right?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- That's fine.- Yeah, that's fine. Thank you. Thank you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Best move on, Blues.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Now, the Reds have a question for Richard.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- What's this thing here? - That, madam, is a bidet.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, is it?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- I thought it was a baby bath! - THEY LAUGH
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Could be.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40OK, moving on...
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Are the Blues still finding things they love?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43This is lovely glassware,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46it's really decorative and it's something different.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Yes.- So what you've got here is glass made by, I personally believe,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53some of the greatest glass blowers in the late 20th century.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I rather like that one with the...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- This one here.- What, with the birds?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- The flying birds.- Yes. - It's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01- It is.- It's lovely.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Just like a lead crystal. It's by Orrefors.- And it's different.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Yeah. It looks heavy. - Pick it up. They are quite heavy.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Round here on the base it's got Orrefors and the designer is by
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- somebody called...- Oh, yes, that's well-known, isn't it, Orrefors?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah, Orrefors is very well-known.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And PU, that's the name for Sven Palmqvist.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20These are all unique pieces.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21They're hand-blown.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Yes.- It's been polished out...- Yes.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26..lead crystal and later engraved with a diamond wheel
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and what's beautiful about this glass
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- is that you have these lovely cranes flying...- That's really lovely.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37It's flying in the reeds and you've got the reed behind there,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- haven't you?- I like that.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- I really like it.- They think about this, don't they?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42There's almost like a sheen on it,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45if you look at it, I love that effect it has.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- It's a good shape. - Yeah.- It's a really good design.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Very sensual.- Yeah, absolutely. A nice ovoid shape.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Fantastic.- I like it. - I think that's a really nice piece.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- They are gorgeous.- So the bottom dollar question is...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Yeah, it's £95 on here.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Right, what can he do?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- VENDOR:- 80 sound more interesting to you?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Could I squeeze you...?
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Squeeze you to 75?
0:11:10 > 0:11:1375. Yeah.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I think let's go for it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16I think so as well.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Yeah, you want to do it at £75? Happy?- Yeah.- We have a sale.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- We have a sale.- Great.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Two items bought and only 12 minutes into the shop.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25You are racing away, you two.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Yeah.- We said we'd hit the ground running.- We're on the ball.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You are on the ball. Come on.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Meanwhile, the Reds have bought nothing.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Will this thermometer change their luck?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, that actually is wonderful.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39That's Negretti & Zambra.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Good makers, good Victorian makers.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And this does...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Close. - I think possibly for a greenhouse.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- And how old would that be? - This is 19th century.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56They were indeed eminent Victorian scientific and instrument makers.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59So when you see their name, it is synonymous with quality.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03The white enamel dial looks in great shape to me.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- So, is this the sort of thing you'd like to buy?- Yeah, I like it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Because it's unusual?- Yeah. - Because it's unusual.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Right, well, the ticket price is £85.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I will do it for £60.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Right, I would think that the auctioneer will put an estimate
0:12:19 > 0:12:22on this between £50 and £70.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26I think there could be a modest profit in it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Is 60 your best price or can you help us out?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, I am struggling to get down as low...
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I mean, I'll do 55, if that's any help.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- It certainly... It certainly does help, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38So, are you happy?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I am really happy.- I'm really happy. I like it.- I would buy it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Yeah.- You would?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- There we go.- You might have to!
0:12:45 > 0:12:46We're just about to.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50In that case, we'll consider it sold.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Thank you very much.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Thank you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Well done, ladies. That's your first item in the bag.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Now, are the Blues still motoring along?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Anything on here you like? - Nothing grabs me.- No.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03How's it going, Thomas?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07They are clear, they are decisive, they make strong decisions.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10They do not mess about.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- What am I going to do?! - Maybe make a profit, Thomas.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Now, what are those Reds looking at?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I do like diamonds but I don't think I'll be able to find them with the
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- money we've got.- I like your taste.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I like your taste.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Our budget, however, is more diamante than diamonds.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30That's pretty.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I have to say, with all due respect,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35there is nothing that's really catching my eye.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Nothing that's saying, "Buy me." That's all right.- No, there really isn't.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Let's keep moving because the clock is ticking.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.- Thank you.- Let's keep going.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Here we go, onto the next one.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48It wasn't just the Reds looking for sparkles.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Will the Blues have more success?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53It's silver marcasite.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Oh, I love marcasite.- Marcasite with a paste stone in there.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59It is continental, from France.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I was going to say Germany but it's French.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06French silver. Now, you've got a couple of marcasites missing here.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- OK.- Not the end of the world to put back.- How old would you reckon?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11This is early 20th century.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13OK. What's the price?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15The price is...
0:14:15 > 0:14:16£85.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Is it something we can think about and come back to maybe?- Yeah.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21The only thing that concerns me is because there's a couple
0:14:21 > 0:14:23of things that need repairing,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I think that's a bit high for something you need to put
0:14:26 > 0:14:28a bit of marcasite in. But I do like it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's worth looking at because I knew you wanted to look at jewellery.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Yes.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Jewellery just isn't working for our teams today,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36so what is turning their heads?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- I like that.- Oh, yeah.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- That's different.- It's a gramophone.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'd love a gramophone.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Well, it's Old Man River who's on the turntable.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48And it's made by Apollo.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Is there a price ticket on it?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54No price ticket on it, so therefore we are in the hands of the owner.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00Sir, a few questions about your oak gramophone by the Apollo company.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- Yes?- What sort of age are you thinking it probably dates from?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's about 60 to 70 years old.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It's not a great age but the benefit is it's oak.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Like I said, it is very, very rare to find an oak gramophone.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Yeah, indeed. A light oak as well.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19So, there's a nice look to it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22What's the inside? Is that just the speaker inside?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23That's actually the speakers.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26If you don't want it too loud, all you do is close the doors,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29but if you want to hear it - and it's a huge difference -
0:15:29 > 0:15:32open the doors and it just... It flows out.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Does it still work? - Yes, of course it works, yes.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38The big question is, how much is it?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Take a seat. - RICHARD LAUGHS
0:15:41 > 0:15:42175.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46175.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47It's a lot of money.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50What could you come down to, realistically?
0:15:50 > 0:15:51140.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53140.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55And at auction, what do you think we could get for it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Erm...- Would that be as much as we could get for it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think that would be at the top end.
0:16:00 > 0:16:07We would need to buy this closer to £100 than anything else.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Is that way out of what you can afford to let it go for?
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Can I sit down now?!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15What did I say, 140?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Yes.- You said 140.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22We were looking to make a profit at auction at around the 100 mark.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Yes.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30£100. And, yes, why not?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31That's a generous discount.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33So, is it a yes from you?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Yes, it's a yes from me. - Is it a yes from you?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Yes.- In that case, consider it sold. - Thank you so much.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Thank you very much.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Thank you very much. - We'll shake on it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44A great deal and a happy team.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47With both teams two items down,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51I'm going to leave them shopping and go to find something dinky.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02This museum has a myriad of motoring delights.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05The cost of some vintage cars is staggering,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08but not all vintage cars.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10If you're willing to downsize...
0:17:10 > 0:17:12there's something for everyone.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I'm joined by Lance Quigley,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19a dealer who specialises in die-cast model cars.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21How did you get into it, Lance?
0:17:21 > 0:17:26Well, being the youngest of five, I had a lot of hand-me-downs.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Oh, right.- There was no electronic games in those days.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- No, no.- So, while my brothers were at school,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I would take them out in the garden and bury them.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Hide them from them!- Yes.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39You've got some super ones. There's one here that springs to mind -
0:17:39 > 0:17:41the Jaguar 3.4,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- which of course was made just down the road...- That's right.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46An iconic car of the '60s.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48What sort of value are we talking about here? This one?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- 15 to 20.- And this one?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- 150.- Really? £150?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Yes.- Quite a difference, isn't there?- Yep.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Is that because of the condition of it?- Yes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01To fetch top price,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03they've got to be mint and the box is just as important.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06The box has got to be crisp and fresh.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I mean, a mint model is worth nothing really
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- unless it's got the mint box with it.- Right.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13So do people make the boxes now?
0:18:13 > 0:18:14You can get repro boxes.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Can you? - Yes, yes, which I'm not against.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- No.- But you can tell the difference.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Here we have a repro box and just look at the colours, they're sharp,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25the edges are crisp.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I mean, that's meant to be 55 years old.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- CHARLIE LAUGHS - It hasn't got patina.- It hasn't.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- You'd need to look carefully, wouldn't you?- Yes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Another tip is open the box and smell inside.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It should smell that musty smell of old paint.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Not musty there, fresh cardboard.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- That's fresh cardboard.- I'm getting fresh cardboard here.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's like wine, isn't it? That's a really,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51really good tip because I didn't know they made reproduction boxes.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Yeah, very popular, actually.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Presumably this is an older box because it's got tears and things.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Anything else we can tell about it? - Yeah, in those days,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03the shopkeeper would walk around with a pencil behind his ear
0:19:03 > 0:19:05and put the pencil price on the end...
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Yes.- Oh, it has. "Eight shillings and 11 pence."
0:19:10 > 0:19:11That's about 44p.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15How much could a Dinky Toy be worth?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18They have sold in excess of 30,000.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19£30,000?!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Yes.- That is quite extraordinary.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22It is, yes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Boxes are important, condition is important.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29If we take this car here, which looks absolutely mint,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32what's it worth without the box?
0:19:32 > 0:19:33150.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35£150?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- With the box?- 250.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Gosh. My word, you've taught me some things here.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Lance, thank you very much. - Thank you, Charlie.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- You're welcome.- I'm going to look round the fair now
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and see if I can find some Dinky Toys with their boxes!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Back to the fair and we're halfway through the shopping.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Both teams have still to find their last item.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03How are the Blues doing?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I'd give them a...seven!
0:20:06 > 0:20:07What do they think?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I think we're doing really well.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Really good items so far.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Yeah.- I think we've made great progress.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17So I think we're looking now for something different again.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm interested in jewellery still, and silver.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I think I'd like to look at either of those.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- It's got to be something different. - Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So the Blues know what they do want. How about the Reds?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30We're doing all right. We're having a little look
0:20:30 > 0:20:33but we haven't seen anything we really want to buy yet.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Right, OK.- We really would like to get some silver.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Yeah, I think it would be nice to get some silver so at least we could
0:20:38 > 0:20:41tick one item off our shopping list.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Both teams are looking out for silver.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Will they find that final piece?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51I like that edging of it, that sort of scallop edging.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53"80978."
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Let's get Tom in. - I think we'll ask him.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Tom, would you have a look at this?- What do you think? - What do you think?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00So you've found a little silver box.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Jewellery, I'd suppose is it? - Well, it's a jewellery box.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Yeah, a little trinket box for your table.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Victorian.- Yeah.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I've just seen the price - £128.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10A bit high, do you think?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13That's quite a lot of money, that, and the hinge is a bit bent.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16The most important thing about these things is if you hold it up to the
0:21:16 > 0:21:21light, you can see holes in it where it's been over-polished.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Ahh.- Can you see that?- Yes.- Yes. - Yes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- So, it's a little bit...- You're paying £128 for a piece of silver
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- with some holes in it. - Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31So that's a no then, Thomas.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Are the Reds having any more luck?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Well, you asked for silver, have I found you silver?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- You've found us silver, yeah. I like it.- Vesta cases, serving spoons...
0:21:42 > 0:21:44The silver card case,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I think that's lovely and it's hallmarked Birmingham
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and I was born in Birmingham.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- OK, right.- I rather like that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56So the silver visiting card case.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59A lady or a gentleman would keep their calling cards there,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02which you would leave, "Here is my name and my address."
0:22:02 > 0:22:07The most important test is to check the hinge.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I'm just going to give it a little wiggle and this is a good hinge.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17The marks show the maker, who is George Loveridge, a small worker.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19That doesn't mean that he was under 5ft 6,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23it means he specialised in making small pieces of silver
0:22:23 > 0:22:27and the date letter shows it was made in 1905.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31And it's got this vacant cartouche.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Originally the owner, the original owner, could have...
0:22:34 > 0:22:36But they left it open and that I think is a nice touch -
0:22:36 > 0:22:38it still could be engraved.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40£85 they want.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44How much lower than that do you think we should actually try to aim
0:22:44 > 0:22:46for to make a profit?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49The auctioneer might price it at...
0:22:50 > 0:22:53..£40 to £60.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5785 is at the upper end of its value.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I'd like to ask the owner, he is the best person to speak to, is he not?
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- Absolutely.- So shall we ask him?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Yes, please.- Sir.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Yes, sir?- I think you know what we're going to ask you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I do, indeed. I know the question's coming.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12If we could buy it at around the £60 mark,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I think we'll be in the market.
0:23:14 > 0:23:1660's pushing it a tad.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Could I say 65?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Would that do it for you?- Well, we're there or thereabouts,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26aren't we? It ticks our third and final box.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29So I think for a five pound note, shall we buy it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Yes.- I think so.- Thank you, that's really kind of you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Thank you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Sold. That's it. That is it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Finally, a silver buy.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42So the Reds are all done with 20 minutes to spare.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Now, the Blues started fast but it looks like a slower finish.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Tom, I thought watches go pretty well.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50They do go quite well.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55This is a lady's watch. This watch might be worn but it's too small.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Do you wear a watch, Julia?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Yes.- Look at the size of your watch.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Yeah, but...- Yeah, but what?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Yeah, but what?- Yeah,
0:24:02 > 0:24:03but no... I like big watches!
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Therein...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08says it all.
0:24:08 > 0:24:14Girls these days like you won't be wearing a little small watch.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- OK.- Let's go.- We'll follow you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19The Blues need to keep hunting.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Meanwhile, the Reds are relaxing.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Shall I be Mum? We've spent far more than we really planned to.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Yes, indeed. I think you came out with a plan of not spending
0:24:29 > 0:24:33very much but you are the original big spenders.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- We are.- Cheers. - BOTH:- Cheers!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39While the Reds toast tearing up a plan,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41are the Blues sticking to theirs?
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- There is something in here I quite like.- Yes.- It's a bit of silver.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46- I like that.- Can I get it out?
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Guys, what we've got is a silver dish but what is on the centre
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- of the silver dish?- I like that. - What's on the centre?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- A design.- I can see a face. - Yeah, there's a lady's face.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Oh, the spades. - Oh, yes, it's Queen of Spades.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Is it for cards or...?
0:25:03 > 0:25:04What is it for?
0:25:04 > 0:25:10This is the kind of thing which if you are a bridge player, you want.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11There is a lot of bridge players.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13There are a lot of bridge players out there.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18It's by William Hutton & Sons, so it's Victorian, it's London, 1894.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- It's a nice age.- A nice crimp...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I love that edging.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24It's lovely, isn't it?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Yeah.- It's a good thing. - A very nice piece.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30A novelty piece of silver and it's the size of playing cards.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- This is quite cool for your pack of cards.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35What do you think about the price?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well, I'm going to ask the gentleman what he can do.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40What is the very best on your...?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I can do 85.- 85.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I was hoping
0:25:46 > 0:25:48for a bit more off.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Go on, 80.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52A little bit more, something with a seven in front of it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I was hoping for 75.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Go on.- Go on.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- 75.- £75? Do you want to buy it?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Yes.- Yes.- Do you like it?- Yes. - I think it's great.- Love it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- I think it's good value. - It is great value.- Excellent.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10With that, the cards are dealt and both teams are all shopped up.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13BELL RINGS Stop looking, teams,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15your time is up.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Now, let's have a look at what the Red team have bought.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24First, will bids be hotting up for the thermometer?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Bought for £55.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Next, the gramophone cost £100 but will it put the saleroom in a spin?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Finally, their piece of silver, a card case that cost them £65.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Glenys and Lynne, seldom have I seen two young girls have such fun...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- We did. - And it's nice being called young.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- That's a bonus! - ..and spend so much money
0:26:50 > 0:26:52and still have time for a cup of tea.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Yes.- Absolutely.- We bought strange and unusual but good items.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58You bought good items, didn't you?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00So what's your favourite lot?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Mine is the thermometer.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- And, Lynne, you? - Mine is the gramophone.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Oh, well, why not?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- And didn't you do a good negotiating job?- Yes.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10What's going to make the biggest profit?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- I think the thermometer, probably. - So do I.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- You both think the thermometer? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Well, you spent £220.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- We did.- It leaves £80.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- There it is.- Come over to me very briefly before it goes to the maestro.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Maestro.- Thank you very much.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28At one stage, I was worried you'd leave me nothing at all to spend
0:27:28 > 0:27:30but luckily with £80,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I can go back and pick up something that you both walked past
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and didn't notice, which I think will bring a smile to your face.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41So while Richard goes off to bring a smile to the girls' faces,
0:27:41 > 0:27:46we'll remind ourselves what the Blue team have bought.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50First, they went all wobbly for the jelly mould and spent £90.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Then there was the Orrefors glass vase.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56It cost £75.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Finally, also for £75, was their silver card tray.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Richard and Julia, that was a shop of two halves, wasn't it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Yep.- Out of the traps like that,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13ten minutes in it all went dead for half an hour.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16We were so overwhelmed by how well we did.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It was buy, buy...
0:28:18 > 0:28:23And then, "Do you know what? I'd like to view the fair."
0:28:23 > 0:28:25What's your favourite lot, Julia?
0:28:25 > 0:28:29My favourite is actually the jelly mould. I really like that.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31The Swedish vase is lovely.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32- Yeah.- Beautiful piece.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34What's going to make the biggest profit?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I think... Oh, I think we both think, don't we?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- Yes.- The silver... With the card...
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Like a card tray, yes.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- You always wanted to buy a bit of silver, didn't you?- Yes.- Exactly.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48You spent £240 and you've got just £60 to give to this young man.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Yes.- Hand it over.- There you are.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Thomas, you lucky fellow.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- What are you going to do with that? - Something very old...
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Yeah.- Something hard... - Yes.- ..with a bit of metal on it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Yes.- I think you'll quite like it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00- We hope.- OK.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04While Thomas goes off to buy something old and useful,
0:29:04 > 0:29:05we're off to the auction.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Well, I'm very excited because I'm at Richard Winterton's saleroom.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- Hello. - Hello, and welcome to Lichfield.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Thank you. Starting off with the Red team here, Lynne and Glenys.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23The first item we've got is the thermometer.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25What a great start. A lovely thing.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26I love it, absolutely love it.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28It's commercial...
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- What are we, Edwardian period?- Yes.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Great name to it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- It's got everything going for it. - Negretti & Zambra,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36they made the best thermometers.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Most certainly. - What about an estimate?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- We've gone 20-40, Charlie. - 20-40, Richard?!
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- It seems a bit mean.- It does, when I'm looking at it now,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48it is a bit mean but I think 20-40, it should fly.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51I hope it does because they paid £55 for it.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Yeah.- They'll be all right though, won't they?
0:29:53 > 0:29:54- Yeah, got to be.- Jolly good.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57What about the gramophone?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- You see a lot of these, don't you? - Yeah, loads.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Records are starting to come back into fashion
0:30:04 > 0:30:06and the retro sort of look.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Apollo, I don't think it's the Rolls-Royce of gramophones,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- as it were.- No.- And...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- No.- It's 30-40 in my book.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18They paid £100 for it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Yeah.- I don't think Lynne and Glenys see as many of these gramophones
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- as you and I do.- No, we see a tremendous amount come through,
0:30:26 > 0:30:27don't we?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Third item we've got is the little silver card case.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31A standard sort of thing again.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We see a tremendous amount coming through. It's nice that it's silver.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Nice little scrolls, nice little work on it.- Yes.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It's 50-80.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41They paid £65.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- That's smack in the middle of your estimate.- I'm not surprised.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46It's anybody's guess as to whether you're going to make them
0:30:46 > 0:30:47a profit or not. In which case,
0:30:47 > 0:30:51it's still anybody's guess as to whether they'll go with their bonus buy.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Let's have a look at it.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Lynne and Glenys, the anticipation.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- It's so exciting, isn't it? - It's very exciting.- Yes.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01But you did at least spend most of your money.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03But it wasn't ours.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- You still left this man with £80, didn't you?- We did. Yes.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- We were very generous, I think.- Are you confident with what he's done
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- with it?- I think so. - Shall we find out?
0:31:13 > 0:31:14- Yes.- I bought you...
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Oh! What's that, then?
0:31:18 > 0:31:19An inkwell.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Is it pewter?- No, it's copper.
0:31:21 > 0:31:28- Oh, right.- Now, this is an Art Nouveau ink stand made roundabout
0:31:28 > 0:31:311910, 1920.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32It's almost in between.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37It's what the Germans call the Jugendstil - the young style.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42So this would have sat in an elegant Viennese apartment on the desk of a
0:31:42 > 0:31:47prominent gentleman and it is the style that is very collected today.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48So how much did you spend?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50I bought it for 40.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Wow, that's good.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54What do you think it has the potential to make?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58It's got the potential to make you another £10 or £20.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- That sounds good. - What do you think, girls?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- I really like it.- I quite like it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05You don't have to make up your mind now.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06We've got one like it, one...
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Quite like it.- ..almost like it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11What will the auctioneer think about it?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Well, here it is - Richard's bonus buy.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17What a beauty.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18It's full of interest.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I love it, and the colour of it as well.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23It's got a bit of Scottish influence in there.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Yeah, it's a nice thing.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27- Lovely colours.- Yeah.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30It's almost a mixture between the Deco and the Nouveau, isn't it?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- It is.- It's a blending of the styles, which I like.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- It's roundabout that 1900 date, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Value?- 30-50.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Well, Richard paid £40.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- Very good.- It'll be interesting to see whether they go with it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Anyway, now onto Richard and Julia, another pair of friends,
0:32:48 > 0:32:53the Blue team, who kicked off with the Victorian copper jelly mould.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55A good old jelly mould!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Again, you see a few of those, don't you?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00We do and they used to be really popular, didn't they?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02The Americans bought them, didn't they?
0:33:02 > 0:33:06They did and the modern housewife with the pine dressers,
0:33:06 > 0:33:10they used to put them on and that kind of look that we used to see.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Yeah. - Sadly, a bit out of fashion now.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- What sort of money would we put on that one?- 40-60.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Yeah, they paid £90.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- I think that was worth £90 20 years ago.- Correct, I agree.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- I agree.- Now, the next item is the Orrefors glass vase.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28These are very hit and miss.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29It's down to the shape...
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We've gone 80-120.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- That's a bit punchy.- It is punchy.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37They paid £75 for it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Richard and Julia's third item is the little silver tray.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Pin tray, card tray.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46What's it got going for it? Well, it's Victorian, William Hutton.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51It's a neat little tray and what else would you do with it?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54It is what it is and we've gone 30-50.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I think that's a punchy sort of estimate.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59You are going to have to work your socks off here.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Am I?- They paid £75 for it.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I can see you looking at that and wondering why?
0:34:05 > 0:34:06I can't see. I just...
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- I can't see.- They might well need their bonus buy.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Let's have a look at it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Richard and Julia, £240 you spent.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Did you just not trust this man with any more than £60?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- No, we just wanted to spend a lot of money.- Oh, very good.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24What do you think he's done with it?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I don't know. We'll have to see, won't we?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30I said I was going to buy you something small
0:34:30 > 0:34:32and it's perfectly formed, shiny.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- Yeah?- It's getting exciting now.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Getting exciting... And it is old.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- THEY GASP - Wow!
0:34:38 > 0:34:39What can one say?!
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Let me just explain.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46OK, this is an 18th-century Agate box, pillbox.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Gilt metal around here and I think it's absolutely...
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I like the markings. It's on both sides, top and bottom.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Well, it's not markings, this is natural stone.- This is pure?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Oh, right.- Agate.- It hasn't been painted, you know!
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Oh, look, look, look, it goes all the way through.- Yes, I like that.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Late 18th, early 19th century.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Because it's so old, how much did you spend?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Do you know what? £35.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Oh, OK.- For something this old, this beautiful...
0:35:11 > 0:35:12- That sounds good.- That's...
0:35:12 > 0:35:15How much do you think we'll get on it?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- £40-£60 maybe.- That's not bad.- Yeah.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Not bad.- Think of the 40.- I like it.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21I'm thinking of the 60.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24That would be marvellous.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- It is a quality piece. - No, it's different.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- No, I like it.- You don't have to make up your mind now.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Make up your mind depending on how you're going later.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Yes.- But we'll find out just what the auctioneer thinks.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Now, we've got Thomas's bonus buy here, which is this little pillbox.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- It's lovely, isn't it?- It's just into the 20th century.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- Just.- And the agate?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Lovely colours, isn't it? Very clever how they do that, isn't it?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Yeah, yeah. It's a pretty object.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52We've gone 30-50.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55They'll be quite pleased with that, Thomas paid £35.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- That's about right, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you in an action on the rostrum.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Thank you very much.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Lynne and Glenys, look at you two beaming with excitement.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- We are.- And anticipation.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Anticipation is the word.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Are you confident?- No.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17We were this morning but we've wavered a little bit.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19We'll you're kicking off with your thermometer.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21A wonderful maker - Negretti & Zambra.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Here it comes now.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Revolving cylinder thermometer there, brass case.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28£20 bid. £20 I'm bid.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29£25 I'm bid.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32£30, £40, 45, £50.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- Oh!- £50. Here at £50.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- This is tremendous. - With me at £50.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40£50. The room is out now.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Internet, you're out. At 50.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- All done. At 50. - GAVEL BANGS
