0:00:06 > 0:00:09Today I'm at Elsecar Heritage Centre,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12a former industrial village in South Yorkshire,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15and this is the Newcomen Beam Engine,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18the world's oldest steam engine.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22It transformed Elsecar into a great mining community,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25but when the miners moved out, some antiques dealers moved in
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and now it's home to a thriving antiques centre.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32So, it's time for our Reds and Blues to dig deep
0:00:32 > 0:00:35and bring some antiques to the surface.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03This remarkable industrial village is bursting with history
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and this former workshop is now brimming with antiques
0:01:06 > 0:01:09for our Reds and Blues to rummage around.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Our teams have £300 and one hour on the clock
0:01:13 > 0:01:15to buy three items which, fingers crossed,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17will bring them a profit at auction.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Let's have a look at what's on today's show.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24One of the Reds has clear opinions.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25I mean, it looks fashionable.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Some people do have them as decorative items.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- I think that looks awful.- Really?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Whilst one of the Blues has definite doubts.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I'm not sure. I think I'm going to regret this, if I buy this.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Honestly.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But which team will have bought wisely for today's auction?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- The Reds? - Come on!
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Or the Blues?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yeah, 50. At 65, I start.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Sold.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52But that's all for later. Let's meet today's teams
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and today is very much a family affair
0:01:55 > 0:01:59and for the Reds, we have dad and son, Steve and Jordan.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04And for the Blues, we have granny and granddaughter, Judith and Ellie.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Oh, it's lovely, lovely, lovely to meet you all.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Steve, you've chosen your son, Jordan, as your team-mate.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20He was not aware that I had actually put him forward to be my partner.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Were you quite happy, Jordan?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Oh, yeah. I'm well up for this.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27He's ecstatic, is he? Ecstatic.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Now, Steve, I believe you love your music.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Well, I've been a professional DJ now for numerous years
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and I really enjoy doing that. I love the music scene.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- So, music's not just your job, it's your hobby as well?- Yes, yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Your dad's very proud of you. Tell me what you did at university.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I did maths at university.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Yeah, and I believe you got a first.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Yeah, I did.- Oh, well done. Well done.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Oh, look, we're embarrassing him now!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56He got that from his mum!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Now, what about hobbies? - Yes, I'm quite sporty.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I play a lot of squash, tennis, do a bit of running.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And I think playing a lot of sports makes me pretty competitive
0:03:05 > 0:03:08as a person, so I'm hoping to win today.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11You both share the competitive edge?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yeah, definitely. We play some sports together
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- and it's always against each other, usually.- Oh, right...
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'm sure we can work together well today.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22So, that's it for our Red team.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Let's meet the Blue team, Olivia and Ellie.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Now, tell me, girls, you're grandmother, granddaughter,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31but you're also great friends.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Well, Ellie has spent a lot of time with me when she was growing up.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Her parents both worked, so in the school holidays,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I used to have her come to stay.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And when she was little, particularly,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I used to have to think of good things for her to do,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49for us to do together, so we spent a lot of time
0:03:49 > 0:03:51and done a lot of things together.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It's a bit more relaxed now, I think.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I go and visit Granny on weekends when I'm at university.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- She sleeps more.- Oh, yes. - Sleeps much more.- I sleep more.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Was this a great, fun granny when you were a wee girl?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Absolutely. There was always something to do.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08We went to the cinema, went on walks, biking, everything.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Aw, that's terrific. Now, Ellie, you're at university.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Yes.- Tell me what subjects you're studying.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I do English literature and classics at Leeds.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So, you maybe know one or two things about antiques,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22if you're studying classics?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, the issue is that I only study ancient Greek,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28so unless it's really, really old and Greek then I've got no idea.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh, right!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Well, don't tell the Reds that.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- We're lulling them into a false security.- Oh, I see.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37It's all a trick.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42So, was Ellie the obvious choice for your team-mate?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yes, absolutely.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I wanted to come on Bargain Hunt
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and I knew that Ellie was the perfect person to ask
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and she said yes immediately because it...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54We like doing something new, and together.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yeah, we've been looking forward to this for a while.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58We think it's going to be really good fun.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Well, to get you out shopping,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03we need to give you £300.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05£300.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Right, thank you. - And £300 to the boys.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Thank you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Your experts await, so off you go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Happy families.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I hope it stays that way.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23So, all our teams need now are their experts.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Hoping to strike the right chord with the Reds, it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32And hoping it will rain profits for the Blues, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Are you nervous?- A little bit. I don't really know...
0:05:34 > 0:05:38It's a bit like going into the unknown for you guys, isn't it?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40It's a jump in the deep.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- What are you going to buy? - Something beautiful, I hope.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- A nice piece of Worcester china would be good.- OK.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Or maybe get a nice little teddy bear.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Is that what you fancy? - Well, it is...- Is it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I don't know what it is, I fancy a nice little teddy bear.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I think I'm just looking for something quite unique,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59potentially quite interesting looking.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Pressure's on now, teams. Your time starts now.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Come on, you two. Let's get started.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- JONATHAN:- Come on. Let's go hunting.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09In you go, teams, and best of luck.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And the Reds are straight on the bear hunt.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So, there's quite a few bears in this cabinet here.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19What do you think, Steve? Is this what you had in mind?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Well, it is.- Yeah?- I'm looking, but there's a Steiff one there,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- a small one.- Yes.- I'm thinking more smaller than a big bear.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27- Yeah.- And that one...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29But I don't know about the price, £50.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It seems an awful lot for that size.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, really early Steiff bears,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37and I'm talking sort of very early part of the 20th century,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39that make the big money,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I think we need to get this cabinet open.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Alan's on hand from the antique centre to help you with that.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Lovely articulated joints, but he's from a fairly modern series
0:06:50 > 0:06:52that were produced called the British Isles bears
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and this one's a Welsh example
0:06:54 > 0:06:58because he's got the little daffodil embroidered on his paw there.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I think he's lovely.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02We've got 50 there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05What could you do for us, Alan, on that?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- The best would be 30. - Would it?- Yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yeah. What do you think, Jordan?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It still sounds like quite a lot, to be fair, for what it is.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13- Yeah. Thank you, Alan. - No problem.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- I think we'll press on.- All right. - Come on. This way.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Poor little teddy is too expensive for the Reds.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Blues, will you be able to squeeze a profit out of this?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I like that little Shelley Maytime juicer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- That's quite sweet. - That's pretty and useful.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Yes.- It's a lemon squeezer.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Yeah. And if it's Shelley, Shelley porcelain...
0:07:34 > 0:07:36sort of went out of favour. It was quite a popular,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38certainly in the '80s and '90s, it was very popular.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- Yeah.- But now they're back again.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I mean, that's something you can put in a cabinet, it's very pretty
0:07:42 > 0:07:45cos it has cherry blossom or apple blossom and, you know,
0:07:45 > 0:07:46so it's quite pretty.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52And opening the cabinets for the Blue team is Carl.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, yeah. So there's no damage to it.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Shelley mark on the bottom.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Yep.- That's rather sweet, isn't it? I mean, the condition...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01The thing you need to look for is around the rim.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04There's a little crack running down the inside of the handle there,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- quite right.- Does that matter? - It's an imperfection.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Of course it does. I mean, it's a hairline and it's stained.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13But... And there's a little bit of enamel wear on the rim there.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17But that is quite a fashionable object, I think, you know,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19the pattern, and it's useful, so you've got...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- You like it, it's pretty, it's functional.- Yep.- It's not too big.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24You can display it and you can use it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28The price is £28 on the label, look.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Is that the best price you can do on that?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Well, I'm sure, because of the damage, we can do a little better.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- I would think about £20, that would be the best.- That sounds good to me.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- I would be pleased with that. - £20.- I would be pleased with that.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Good, yes. I think it's very pretty.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- I'd use that and I think it's functional. Yeah.- Lovely.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- OK.- Yeah.- We are already with our first purchase.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- We are.- ELLIE:- Yeah!- CARL: - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Well done, ladies. One down, only ten minutes gone.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Let's go and get the others. - That's good.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Good going, Blues.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Now, maybe the Reds can smell a profit with this.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Perfume bottle.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Yes, it is.- With a silver top.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Do you know, that's quite nice, Steve?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Yeah.- It's quite feminine.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- My feminine side's coming out! - Got an eye for the feminine.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13First teddy bears, now perfume.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Yeah. What, is your dad always like this?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19But the question is, will it make a profit?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21You've got a steady hand, Steve. Good man.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- It's got a nice bit of weight to it. - Has it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26It's a silver hallmark.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It dates to the Edwardian period.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- It's actually 1903.- Right.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34And very Edwardian in style.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Lovely cut-glass base with a lovely what's known as a star-cut base,
0:09:39 > 0:09:40so a lovely sign of quality.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Definitely cut and not moulded
0:09:42 > 0:09:45because if you feel with your fingers on those facets,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- they're really sharp, aren't they? - Yeah, they are.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Whereas if it was moulded glass, very much mass produced,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53it would be a little bit more rounded,
0:09:53 > 0:09:54if it's come out of a mould,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58rather than actually faceted and cut.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02So, I think it's quite a nice thing, but let's take the lid off.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- We've got a little stopper in there which is nice.- That's quite nice.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Original as well. - Yeah, it fits really nicely.- Yep.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09- We've got 62 on there.- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I mean, what would you pay, Jordan, for that?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- I don't know. I reckon 25.- Mm-hm.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I think, at auction,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19we might be looking at anything from sort of £15-20,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22to maybe £30-40 on a good day.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23What could you do for us, Alan?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I mean, are you agreeing with what I say?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- What do you think?- ALAN:- I would think you're probably spot-on
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- with your estimate. - Is there any leeway in it for us?
0:10:31 > 0:10:3235 is the best.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Can you do 30?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Go on, 30.- That's very kind, Alan. - We'll take that, I think.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Oh, he's doing a deal. Are you all right with that, Jordan?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- JORDAN:- Yeah, I guess so. I guess I'll have to be!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You do, as they've shaken on it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49That's just over a 50% discount on their first item.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- It's nice, so, yeah, I'm happy with that.- Yeah?- Yeah?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- It's only a fiver on what you said. - Yeah, so it's not too far apart.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- We're not too far apart.- Yeah. - Are you going to let him off?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Yeah, I will.- Your turn next.- Yeah.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00And I'm guessing the mathematician
0:11:00 > 0:11:04will want to spend as little as possible, so 20 minutes down,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06it's one all. Judith, what's next?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10That is quite nice, actually.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11It's quite a nice table.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14It has a sort of hint in that style because it's all bent wood.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- It's basically... Normally, it's beech.- Yeah.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18And they steam bend it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20People buy things cos they want to have, you know, it's function,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22it's got to have a function.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I mean, it's dark wood which maybe some people
0:11:24 > 0:11:26don't like so much, but it's not Georgian style.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- It's...- And it's lightweight.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- For all that it's dark wood, it's not heavy.- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's a cool thing, though, I mean... But it's 120 quid.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yeah.- It's a no-go for me. - Yeah.- It's a no-go.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38The Blues can see it's not likely to make a profit.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Keep looking.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Steve, is finding a teddy proving to be a picnic?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Now, I know we put the Steiff bear to one side,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48but here's one I think that's got a little bit more age.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Let's just see if I can...
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Oh, here we go. I can get him out. Come on, Mr Bear.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Now, what do you think, Jordan?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- He looks a little bit as if he's got a bit more age.- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- What do you think?- I think I prefer it already to the other one,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- just cos of, yeah, like you say, the age.- Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- It's quite old.- I would say...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I think he might be '50s, maybe '60s.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15We've got a little button nose there, rather than a stitched nose.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17The earlier ones have a stitch nose,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19so that's got a little plastic nose there but...
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Oh, we've got a label here. That'll help, guys.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Let's have a look. What have we got on there?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Real Soft Toys.- Real Soft Toys. What does that say underneath?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Watford, Herts, England.- Oh, yes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33So, it's an English manufacturer.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37He's actually... I mean, the plush mohair's in really nice condition,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- isn't it?- Yeah.- But...
0:12:39 > 0:12:40What's the price on this one?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- 28.- 28.- On that one.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47If you got it for the right money, then I can't see you losing much.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49You can't lose much on it.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yeah, it's quite a safe one, I think, as well so maybe...
0:12:51 > 0:12:52- Do you?- Yeah.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54And he's wearing a pink...
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- little lace, so that's the old feminine side.- Yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- He's always ready to get... - LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Put a blue ribbon around it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Oh, here's Alan. Hi, there, Alan. We've found another bear.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- ALAN:- Right.- What could you do for us on there?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10We've got 28 on the price.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Could you do, could you do a little bit less for us?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14- 15.- 15?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- JORDAN:- I were hoping you'd say ten. - ALAN:- I can't, unfortunately.
0:13:17 > 0:13:2015 has got to be the absolute death on it.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- JORDAN:- Not even an extra couple of quid and we'll call it 13?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- ALAN:- We can't.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- JORDAN:- What do you think? - It's your decision, Jordan.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- I've made a choice, you can make... - All right, let's go for it, then.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Right.- Yeah, I'm happy with that. - We'll take that, then.- ALAN:- OK.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Good going, Reds.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Jordan certainly likes to drive down the price.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Two items in the bag. Brilliant.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42You quite fancy some militaria, don't you, Jordan?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Yeah, I think we need something a bit more masculine...
0:13:45 > 0:13:46- Good thinking. - ..to go with the bear.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Let's go and see what we can find. - Come on.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Well, you have 30 minutes to try and find something macho.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Whilst the teams carry on shopping,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I'm off to find out more about today's location,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58the Elsecar Heritage Centre.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08I started today's show in front of the Newcomen Beam Engine.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09200 years ago,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13this machine fired up the Industrial Revolution
0:14:13 > 0:14:18and turned Elsecar village into a thriving mining community.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I've been joined by John Tanner today
0:14:21 > 0:14:23from Elsecar Heritage Centre
0:14:23 > 0:14:28who will tell us a bit more about the Newcomen Beam Engine.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- John, hello.- Hi, there. You all right?
0:14:30 > 0:14:35This is a very impressive piece of machinery.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Who invented it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Well, this engine was built in 1795, but it's of the type
0:14:40 > 0:14:44that was invented by Thomas Newcomen back in 1712.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48It was the world's first practical steam engine.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51What was so special about this one?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Well, there were hundreds, there were thousands of these things.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58They powered a great industrial age, but now this engine
0:14:58 > 0:15:01is the only Newcomen left in its original location
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and it's also the oldest steam engine in the world
0:15:03 > 0:15:06that's still in place. There's a couple of older ones
0:15:06 > 0:15:08but they've been in museums for a long time.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11This one is still here above its colliery.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14So, how does this engine actually work?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, John tells me that water is injected
0:15:17 > 0:15:19into a steam filled cylinder,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22condensing the steam and creating a vacuum.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25A piston connected to one end of the mighty beam above
0:15:25 > 0:15:27comes down into the cylinder.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31The other end of the beam is heavier so is pulled back down,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33working the pumps underground.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38So, why was this engine built here in this location?
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Well, if you imagine, back in the 1790s, Elsecar was transformed.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46The rich, mighty Earl Fitzwilliam, who lived just over there
0:15:46 > 0:15:49at his the huge house at Wentworth Woodhouse,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51set about transforming Elsecar.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53He had a mighty ironworks built,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55he had a canal cut here,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and they needed coal and that's where we're stood.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02This is the Elsecar New Colliery that was built in 1795,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06but to get to those rich seams of coal deep underground,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09they needed to get the water out and that's what this engine did.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12It pulled the water out from the colliery
0:16:12 > 0:16:16and it did it from 1795, all the way through to 1923
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and we estimate, over that time,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23it probably pumped around 40 billion litres of water
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- from the South Yorkshire coalfield. - Thank you, John.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29That was a fascinating piece of history.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Now it's time to get back to the shopping.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I do hope our teams have all hands to the pump.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Back to it, we're 35 minutes down and the Blues only have one item.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I think Ellie might be starting to feel the pressure.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I don't know what I'm looking for.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The Reds are cruising along with two items bought
0:16:56 > 0:16:58and just £45 spent.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00For our last subject,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'd really like to see Jordan really engaging with a piece
0:17:02 > 0:17:06and really enjoying it. I get the sense he does like history,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08but it would be really good to see that.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Well, these look like they've got a bit of history.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Hi, there. Could we see one of these medals, please?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Of course you can, yes. - That would be great. Lovely.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20So, which one was it, Jordan?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Just this one here.- OK.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25So, what is it about medals that interest you?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I think it's just that history behind them,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31so obviously someone was given this, participated in World War I,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- so, yeah, it's quite interesting. - So, how much have we got on there?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36It's £150.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- That's not like you, Jordan... - I know.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- ..wanting to blow a whole load of money.- Yeah, that's...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- What do you think? - You're going to blow budget!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I mean, it looks to be in lovely order.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50The enamel on it's really nice.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Prussian Order of the Crown, from the First World War.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58The medal itself is actually dated 1861, with the enamel around there.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Get a price on it, mate, and find out.- Get a price.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03That's a fair shout, I think, Steve. Here's Alan.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05What could you do for us on that, Alan? What do you think?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- ALAN:- Yeah, the best on it would be 110.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Without much, like, knowledge about it, I'm thinking it's...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- I don't feel like I want to take the risk on that one.- OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- I don't know what you're thinking? - STEVE:- I'm agreeing with you.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- You're going to play it safe? - Yeah, we'll play it safe.- OK.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Thanks very much, Alan.- Thank you so much. Thank you.- But no thanks.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- And we'll journey on. Come on, fellas.- Thank you.- Clock's ticking.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25It certainly is.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Just 20 minutes left and still nothing macho for the Reds.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Now, what's caught Ellie's attention?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Ooh.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Oh, do you like that?- Yes.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- OK, there we are. What is it? - It's a bracelet.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It's a panther. It's a brooch.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Oh, there is something about it. - Oh, my word.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Look at that.- SELLER:- It is, of course, 18-carat gold
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- and diamonds... - JONATHAN:- Yeah, yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Pure bling, that.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52OK, so this is diamante.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56So making sure all the little rhinestones are all there.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Ellie, are you... - You love it.- ..still taken by it?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I'm not sure. I think I'm going to regret this, if I buy this.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Honestly.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Thing is with jewellery at auction now, there's gem set,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09there's precious metals and there's style and there's the names
0:19:09 > 0:19:10and all that sort of stuff
0:19:10 > 0:19:12and then when you get down to the nitty-gritty,
0:19:12 > 0:19:13there's just costume jewellery
0:19:13 > 0:19:16and costume jewellery has no intrinsic value
0:19:16 > 0:19:17but it's all about what style it is.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19And, you know, if you like the style,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21then, you know, it's about the price then, isn't it?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25You've got to ask the man and ask him what he'll do for it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And if you're not happy with that, then you walk away, don't you?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31It says 65.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Because she's being so hesitant, can we get a better price on this?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It is...
0:19:36 > 0:19:37- SELLER:- I will give you a better price
0:19:37 > 0:19:40and the best price I can go to is £50.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- But that is me... - I think I'm happy with that.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- I think I'm happy with 50.- Yeah. - OK, then.- Thank you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Thanks.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Well, after that discount, the Blues seem happy with their second buy.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56With 15 minutes left, is anything calling the Reds?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Hey, these are quite fun, guys.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01What do you think of these telephones?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Quite old, aren't they?- Yeah. - They've got the old number system.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05What do you think, Steve?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07The one down there with the sort of clear...
0:20:07 > 0:20:08I don't know, that catches my eye.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- It's quite odd.- Is that the kind of thing you'd have in your house?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Er, maybe not. I mean, it looks fashionable.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Some people do have them as decorative items.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- I think that looks awful.- Really?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- What, all of them? - Particularly the clear one.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24The kind of clear Perspex one?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Yeah.- I can see they're really not exciting you.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27No, not really.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Come on!- Not doing it for you. - Let's move on.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32The Reds haven't engaged, Kate,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35and the Blues might be ready for a tipple.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37They're a nice colour and there's six of them.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- What would you drink in them? - They're a bit small...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Sherry.- ..so sherry?- Exactly.- Port. - Do people drink sherry nowadays?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- We do.- Absolutely.- Do you?- Yes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47That's the spirit, Blues!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49A set of six isn't like a drinks party,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52but they're quite nice on display, but they are small.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54If they were big hock glasses,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56then you can see sort of the attraction. But...
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- But, you know, again, they're only £28 and at the right price...- Yep.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04..but, you know, can you see someone playing £30 for them?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- I don't.- No.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08The Blues aren't raising a glass just yet,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11but the Reds are getting more macho.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Jordan, we've got some militaria in here,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15some cap badges, some medals,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18but we've also got some boys' toys, what I would call boys' toys.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Yeah.- Some Dinky toys, some Corgi toys, little model cars.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Do you remember playing with those, Steve?- I certainly do, yeah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- They all got broke.- Mm-hm.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29So, now to see them like that, they've been...
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- I don't think they've been played with.- Yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Yes, some of them are really in good order, aren't they?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36And they've got their boxes which is really important for collectors.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39And down here, we've got a whole range of Dinky toys.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Dinky toy collectors would probably prefer a rarer racing model
0:21:43 > 0:21:47or a classic or vintage car, but up to you.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- What do you think?- We should have a look at the little cars
0:21:49 > 0:21:51and see if there's any in there.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Well, the Reds seem interested, but what's intriguing the Blues?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Yeah, I think there's quite a decent amount of stuff.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59That little deco jug at the back there with the ribbed body,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- see that jug there?- Yeah.- And it's lobed like Mr Michelin's leg.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Yes.- That's...
0:22:04 > 0:22:07If you're buying silver, you want strong design.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- We'll look at the little jug. - Just to see if he's got...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11If he's fully hallmarked.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Birmingham. Birmingham, Birmingham.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Capital P. 1939.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It's just the style of that, that's a very cool thing.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20If you had a tea service like that,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- that would be a very, very cool thing.- Yes, it would.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23£75.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- KARL:- May I just make a suggestion? - Yeah.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Can I fetch a couple of pieces of silver to show you?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Yeah, absolutely. We're running out of time.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- JONATHAN:- Yeah, why not? Yeah, yeah.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- KARL:- Give me two minutes. - OK.- Yeah.- I'll run.- Go.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Ah, so Karl might have something up his sleeve for the Blues.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Back to the Reds and they're still searching through the toy cabinet.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I quite like the plane. What do you think, guys?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44I think it's pretty cool.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48There's a few little broken bits on it, but it looks really good.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Been well-played with, hasn't it?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, the actual silver-coloured paint work isn't too bad.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55You've still got the transfer printing here
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and what I've noticed, which is really nice,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01you've got your little transfer print here for Cambria
0:23:01 > 0:23:04along the side there which is quite nice that that's still there.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Do you see that?- Yeah, it's still got all its propellers on as well.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- It has. Although I noticed one tiny little bit is missing.- Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12But very often, you see a whole propeller missing,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15so I don't think that's so bad.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17So, this is the flying boat, known as the Empire flying boat,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20made by Dinky.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Let's look at the price. 34.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Are people willing to pay £30 for something like that at auction?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- You look absolutely astonished, Jordan.- I am,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'm pretty amazed that someone's going to pay £30 for that.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Well, I tell you why somebody would pay...- Go for it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36..I would say, at least 20, the condition isn't bad.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39It's not mint, but a lot of people can't afford mint.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43It's got the Dinky name and people love Dinky toys.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45You may not like them, but I can assure you,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48a lot of people out there love them.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50And it's the older models, the Dinky models,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52that aren't made any more like this.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56You can't go out there and buy them retail from a new shop.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58So they're getting harder and harder to find.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Alan's hovering in the background. - He's hovering!
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Alan, come and have a chat with us.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05What would be the best on that for us, sir?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06- ALAN:- To you, 20.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- What do you think, Jordan? - Well, yeah, I like it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- I think... Is 20 the absolute best? - It is.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Can we not squeeze a little bit more?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Sweeten the deal at 18?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- 18, go on.- 18.- STEVE:- 18.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Jordan negotiating to the end and that's job done.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Guys, we're done. Well done. - Ah, great!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- How do you feel?- Ecstatic.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Pretty good.- I've got me teddy bear.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Yeah, you've got your bear so you're happy.- Come on.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Glad everyone's happy.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Now, with less than ten minutes left,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37what does Karl have for the Blues?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Lovely.- Yes, I like those.- Yeah. - What do we think about those?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Silver has to be used, that's the thing.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Candlesticks are always used. I rather like them.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48There's a sort of hint of the deco style in there.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52That knop is stepped, you've almost got like a Bakelite bottom on it,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54so it suggests that sort of date.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56With these, because they're going to be filled,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58this is like a sheet metal and then it's filled,
0:24:58 > 0:25:04you do get dents, so, you know, you've got fairly clean throughout,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06one or two little nibbles and knocks on the top there.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Yeah, that's small.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- They're a manageable size too.- Mm. - Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Nobody has a great... - A pair of short candlesticks,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14you can put a nice candle in there
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- and you've got your dinner party raring to go.- Absolutely.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- I'm quite fond of these, yeah. - I like them.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21But you've got them at 48.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- What would you do those for? - KARL:- I'll do them for 30.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- JONATHAN:- £30? - KARL:- £30 is good.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- JONATHAN:- £30.- Excellent. - Thank you.- £30.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Really good. I like these a lot. - Yes, I like them a lot.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31- Nice things.- Yep.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And that's job done for the Blues too.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36BELL RINGS That's it, teams.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Your time's up.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- What a relief. Are you happy?- Very. - Yeah.- Happy with all your items?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Yeah.- I think you should be. I think they're really good.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm really pleased and I like them very much.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51First up, Steve and Jordan bought this perfume bottle for £30.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54But do they smell a profit?
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Next, Steve was determined to buy a bear and bought this teddy for £15.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02And finally, they wanted something a bit more macho
0:26:02 > 0:26:06and they're hoping this plane will fly at auction. £18 paid.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Well, boys.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Didn't you work well as a team?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16You bought with heart and you looked after the old dosh.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Jordan, what was your favourite item?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I think it was the plane at the end, the toy plane.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25At first, I wasn't so sure,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27but I've come round to it now and I quite like it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- I think it's going to do well as well.- Steve...- Yes.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34You were the man with the heart. What was your favourite item?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36The perfume bottle.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Is it going to make the most profit, though?- I believe so, yes.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I'm quietly confident because it is quality.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Now, remind me again how much you spent.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Only £63.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51Well, that leaves £237
0:26:51 > 0:26:54which you will hand over to me.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Kate, that is a lot of money.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Do you have any idea what you're going to buy with it?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Do you know, I know exactly what I'm going to buy for these two.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm going to buy a little bit with my heart cos I think this piece
0:27:06 > 0:27:10is absolutely beautiful, but I'm also going to be strong on the money
0:27:10 > 0:27:13because I'm not going to pay too much, I want to win.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17While Kate goes off to buy, hopefully, a dead cert,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21let's have a look at what the Blues bought.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23First up, Judith and her granddaughter, Ellie,
0:27:23 > 0:27:27are pressing for a profit with this juicer bought for £20.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Next, Ellie's eyes sparkled when she spotted this costume jewellery which
0:27:31 > 0:27:33she bought for £50.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37And finally, will these silver candlesticks set the auction alight?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Bought for £30.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Well, smiles all around, Jonathan.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Now, Judith, what was your favourite item?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48My favourite item was the little lemon squeezer.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- The little juice squeezer. - Functional and...
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Pretty.- Pretty. And that's what you wanted.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Is that the item that's going to make the best profit, though?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Let me think. I'd like to think so,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01but I've got a feeling it might be the candlesticks.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Ellie, what was your favourite item?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07My favourite item was definitely my panther broach.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09All right, completely different from your granny.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Because it was my pick and I just love how ridiculous it is.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17So, you spent a wee £100.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Could I have £200, please? - Yes, that's for you.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24That is a lot of dosh, John.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Do you have any idea what you are going to buy?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Well, I've been giving them so much advice I ought to listen to that
0:28:29 > 0:28:32advice and buy something decorative and functional.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36While Jonathan goes off to search for his Bonus Buy,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39we're going off to the auction.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Today we are at Wright Marshall Auctioneers
0:28:47 > 0:28:50in Knutsford with our auctioneer,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Nick Hall.- Welcome, Anita. - It's lovely to be here.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Let's look at the Reds first of all.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Their first item is this very feminine...
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Isn't it just?- ..little silver and crystal scent bottle.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Sweet little thing, really. There's always a little market for them.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Pretty little silver-mounted glassware always sells.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Yes, I think I'd put £20-40 on it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Well, that's not too bad because they paid £30.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Spot on.- So it may make a profit.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- Good.- Second item is this teddy bear and they both liked the teddy.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Yeah.- Do you like him?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Well, are you sure this was two chaps out shopping?
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Perfume bottles and teddy bears?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28OK. Look, it's one of those things.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30For the toy collector, the teddy bear collector, yes,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33it's going to have a market, isn't it? They're not a big name.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It's not Steiff or any of the big names.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- And not an early one, either.- No, no, it's not. It's just that sort of
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- classic vintage in reasonable condition.- Estimate?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45If you can bear it, Anita, we've gone 10-20 on the little fellow.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Yeah, well, they paid £15. They haven't paid a lot of money.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50That's good, I think there's a profit left in that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Yeah. Now, third item.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54This was Jordan's favourite item.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Yeah.- It's the boat plane, Dinky.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It would be better if it had the original box with it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01They make a lot more with the boxes.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Paint looks a little bit chipped as well.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06It's been through a few stormy trips, I think, that one.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Estimate?- Again, 10-20.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Oh, well, they paid £18 for it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13So all in all they are not really too bad.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Yeah.- They may or may not need their Bonus Buy,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19so we're going to go and have a look at it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25You left Kate an amazing £237
0:30:25 > 0:30:29and you were going to buy something with your heart, Kate.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- You ready?- Yes. Oh.- Oh, wow.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35THEY LAUGH
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Is that what you were expecting?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Er...- I'm not really sure, what actually is it?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40You can see it's a butterfly.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Isn't it? And we're going right back to the Victorian period,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46the 1870s.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50And if we look closely and we lift the butterfly wings up,
0:30:50 > 0:30:54you can see we have some little pockets under the wings
0:30:54 > 0:30:56and, crucially,
0:30:56 > 0:31:02a patented number, registration mark, and a name, W Avery.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04And he was known for making needles
0:31:04 > 0:31:08and he made beautiful needle cases to sell his needles in.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- So how much did you actually pay for it, then?- This is a bit of a gamble.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- OK.- All right.- I spent £120.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- Wow.- But actually the crucial thing is what do they sell for at auction,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23and these make anything from £80 to a couple of hundred.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Well, boys, you don't need to make up your mind just at this moment.
0:31:27 > 0:31:33In the meantime, let's find out if the auctioneer likes Kate's little
0:31:33 > 0:31:35butterfly.
0:31:35 > 0:31:41Well, Nick, flying and flapping in for the Reds is this very unusual
0:31:41 > 0:31:42- needle holder.- It's a sweet thing.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I mean, I hope she doesn't get in a bit of a flap with
0:31:44 > 0:31:49it when we come to sell it, because, er, it's an unusual thing.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51It's a nice thing. It's a quirky thing.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54It's not a terribly valuable thing. Made by Avery, of course,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58the firm that made the scales and a beautiful little needle case.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00What's your estimate on that?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Well, I've put 20-40 on it.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Kate paid £120 for that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Could she have been carried away,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11or is she seeing something that we aren't?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Well, look, Kate is a good expert, she knows her market and she may
0:32:15 > 0:32:17well be right and I hope she is.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Well, that's it for the Reds.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Let's have a look at the Blues' items.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Their first item was the little lemon squeezer.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Tell me, what do you think of that?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I rather like this because you've got that magic name, Shelley,
0:32:29 > 0:32:33attached to it. Synonymous with 1930s Art Deco.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37It's functional. It's got that lovely chintz design to it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Estimate on that?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- 30-50.- Well, they paid £20.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- That was a good buy.- Good buy.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45We might just squeeze a profit out of that.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Now, we go on to their second lot
0:32:48 > 0:32:51and this was young Ellie's favourite
0:32:51 > 0:32:56and you cannot blame her, because that is a splendid creature there.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Absolutely. I mean, it's full-on bling, isn't it?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03And here we are in the heart of Cheshire. Where better to sell it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:04What's your estimate on that?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I've gone 20-40.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Well, Ellie paid £50 for it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Well, hopefully we can get it there for them.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13It's got potential.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Their third item was a little pair of candlesticks, silver,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20traditional fare at auction.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Tell me what you think. - Well, they are mid-20th century.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26They've got a sort of period, an older style about them.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Their hallmarks are rubbed.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30They've got weighted bases.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- They are OK.- Estimate?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Well, the estimate on those, I've gone 30-50.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Well, they paid £30.- That's all right.- That might be a good buy.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Yeah, I think they could do all right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Well, it's all looking not too bad for the Blues.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48They may not need their Bonus Buy but let's have a look at it.
0:33:49 > 0:33:55You left Jonathan 200 and he had no idea what he was going to buy.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Show us what you bought, Johnny.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05- OK.- What I bought here is an Indian bronze of undefinable age, possibly.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I don't think she is modern, that's the thing.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- OK.- There's lots of reproductions. She's an Indian goddess.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12She is playing her music, she would be playing the flute,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- but the flute is gone. - And she's dancing as well.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17She's dancing. She's on this sort of circular base,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19typically moulded with lotus leaf.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21How much did you pay for this?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25I spent the princely sum of 25.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29That's amazing. That is wonderful.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- That's a really beautiful ornament. - I quite like this, actually.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36I think that she might be worth, I think she'll certainly sell for 50.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40I think you did very well there. It was a good buy.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42That's enough for me already.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47Both of you are very enthusiastic about this little figure.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50But you don't need to make up your mind just at this moment.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51In the meantime
0:34:51 > 0:34:55let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Jonathan's bronze.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Jonathan bought this little Indian bronze figure.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Now, the Indian market is also strong at the moment.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Very hot.- Tell me what you think.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09It's a cute little punt this, very speculative.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12If it's got an age about it, it could do particularly well.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I've had a close look at it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16In my opinion, for what it's worth,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I thought it was maybe turn of the last century.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Probably one of those export pieces.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26But if those that know better deem it earlier it could absolutely fly.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27What's your estimate?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30A bit of a guesstimate than an estimate, I've gone 50-100.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Yeah, well, Jonathan only paid £25.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34- Did he?- Yes.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36He's a clever so-and-so, isn't he?
0:35:36 > 0:35:41- Not much of a punt there, really. - Yeah.- So we'll find out later
0:35:41 > 0:35:45whether they are going to take or not take the Bonus Buy.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47You're taking the auction today.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- I'm wielding the gavel today. - Oh, yeah, I can't wait.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Tell me, have you ever been to an auction before?
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Never been, never been to one. - Sean?- Never.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- Look...- Virgins.- You've got a packed room here, you've got the internet,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08you've got your items on the screen.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Here we go, boys, your scent bottle is coming up.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15Lot 177 is the Edwardian hallmarked silver topped glass scent bottle,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18with stopper. £40 for it.
0:36:18 > 0:36:2040 I'm bid, thank you, online at 40.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Come on! Get in there.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Where is next? I've got 40.
