0:00:07 > 0:00:10Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside,
0:00:10 > 0:00:11beside the sea.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13But this isn't the sea.
0:00:13 > 0:00:19Oh, no, this is Elsecar reservoir in landlocked South Yorkshire.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21For much of the 20th century,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23day-trippers would come and splash in its waters,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27and it became affectionately known as Elsecar by the sea.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29But I don't have time to go for a paddle,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32because just down the road there are two eager teams
0:00:32 > 0:00:35waiting to get their hands on some antiques.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39So, let's go bargain hunting!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Here at the Elsecar Heritage Centre,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06there's not only an antiques centre for our teams to splash their cash,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10but there's also an antiques fair taking place, too.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14So there's plenty of choice for our Red and Blue teams to spend
0:01:14 > 0:01:16their £300 on three items.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18There's a snag though.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19They have to do it in one hour.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The idea is to make a profit at auction.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Let's have a wee look at what's coming up on today's show.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The Reds are emotional.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Oh, Maureen!- Are you crying?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34The Blues are knowledgeable.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Some of it is actually reproduced.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39There are different qualities of carnival, unfortunately.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But will their knowledge pay off at the auction?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Keep going! Keep going!
0:01:44 > 0:01:48And will emotions still be running high for the Reds?
0:01:50 > 0:01:51But that's all for later.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57For the Reds, we have husband and wife, Maureen and Peter.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02And for the Blues, we have friends and work colleagues,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Pauline and Caroline.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Welcome, everybody.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Hello!
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- ALL:- Hello!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09A resounding...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Oh, I can tell you lot are going to be trouble!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let's have a chat to the Reds first.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Maureen, so how did you meet your husband, Peter?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Well, I was drinking in a pub on my own.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Oh, right, I like it already.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26As one does. In South Africa.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31And our eyes met across a room crowded with Swedish tourists.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And it was love at first sight.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Did you think, "I think I'll have him"?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Yeah, I thought, "He looks all right."
0:02:38 > 0:02:40So far he's my favourite husband!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I'm very happy about that, and I'm sure Peter is as well.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48So, Peter, was it love at first sight for you as well?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Love at eight beers, I think!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, you just clicked immediately?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55We did. Absolutely.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56We have the same sense of humour.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Maureen, I believe you are into bargain hunting already,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03and that you do a bit of buying and selling?
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Yes, I do a lot.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08We started off when we first came over to make a bit of extra money.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12But it soon became quite a passion.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13I'm no expert,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16but I will basically buy anything if I think it's going
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- to make me a profit.- And does it usually make you a profit?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- It actually normally does.- Right, so you're going to be red hot?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Yes, I've got a good record.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25I wouldn't say red hot,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- but I'll definitely be looking for the bargains.- Wonderful.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, guys, what are your tactics going to be?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Basically keeping Maureen under control.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35She's spending other people's money.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Is she liable to go wild?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39She's going to go wild with it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I go wild with his money as well!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And are you competitive?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Do you want to beat these girls here?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Definitely! We like you but we want to beat you!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55That's it for the Reds.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Let's meet today's Blues.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01It's Pauline and Caroline, workmates and friends.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03How did you meet?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05We work in the school office together.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Caroline joined the team earlier this year,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12and she's part of the furniture and fixtures now.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13She's absolutely brilliant.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Did you hit it off right away?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17We did. One of the things that we sort of,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21the first thing that ever happened was we had a World Book Day
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and I decided I would make the costumes
0:04:23 > 0:04:25for the three girls in the office.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I made the Cat in the Hat - you know, the really big hats?
0:04:28 > 0:04:29I was so eager to get it done,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I put it through the laminator and went straight like this
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- onto Caroline's head. - Was that her first day?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36That was the first day! I burnt her forehead!
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Oh, my goodness!
0:04:37 > 0:04:38I wasn't hurt in any away.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm absolutely fine now.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45So, Caroline, that was your first experience with your new boss,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47but after that you became firm friends?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51We did, yeah. It's an experience every day working with Pauline.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Something happens every day.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Every day.- Now, do you know anything about antiques and collectables?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Pauline does and she's a bit of an antique herself, so...
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Oh, right! Oh, she's cheeky.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I know. She got me for burning her head!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Just remember that she's your boss!
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I have collected carnival glass for quite a few number of years.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15I once bought a vase
0:05:15 > 0:05:19and I subsequently found out they use them as funeral vases.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It had quite a lot of ash in the bottom.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- So I wasn't quite sure...- What to do with it.- ..what to do with it!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27With the remains!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Now, girls, the reason you're here -
0:05:31 > 0:05:34how good are you going to be at the old bargain hunting?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Brilliant.- We're going to be brilliant, yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39They're going to be brilliant!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41We like a challenge.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42You like a challenge?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah, yes.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well, I have to give you some money.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50£300 for you, and £300 for you.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Now your experts are out there waiting, so off you go!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00We've got a competition on our hands today.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01This should be fun.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06So all our teams need now are some experts.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Batting for the Red team, it's Kate Bliss.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And who's behind the mask for the Blues?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's Jonathan Pratt.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Hey, you two are buzzing, I can feel it!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19What are you going to be looking for, Maureen?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Well, I'm looking for either something really big
0:06:22 > 0:06:25that's going to have a lot of impact, or something really tiny.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I think we need to go for something of quality.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Maybe something that somebody could use, like a piece of jewellery.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I'm looking for some militaria, badges, helmets, that type of thing.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38My grandma liked Moorcroft, so that's what I'm looking for.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Start looking, teams, your time starts now.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Shall we go and see what we can find?- Yes, let's!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Come on, let's go looking.- Come on!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It looks like both teams are going to try their luck
0:06:49 > 0:06:52at today's antiques fair, but remember, there's also
0:06:52 > 0:06:55an antiques centre at your disposal.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Reds, does this hit the right note?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I know nothing about music.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Absolutely nothing.- Have you ever bought a trumpet before, Maureen?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04No. Definitely not. I wouldn't know the first thing.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Anything special about it?- Yeah, it's got a name, which is nice.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10But it's quite worn here.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's obviously been much-loved, I would say.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It says there, "VMI."
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's German. Look at that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19A German trumpet.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21The valves, oh, that one's a bit sticky, isn't it?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Mouthpiece? Nothing.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well spotted. We could do with the mouthpiece.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Mind you, sometimes that's separate in the box.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- But it is a bit worn, isn't it? - It is, yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Not really, not really my...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Looking for something in better nick?- A bit smarter.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I think we could do smarter.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- Absolutely.- Let's put that down.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Find something smart then, Reds.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Blues, is this carnival glassware of good quality?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47The problem is some of it is actually reproduced.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50There are different qualities of carnival, unfortunately.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I don't think that would be suitable.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Pauline's the boss and the expert.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Maureen, are these bookends barking up the right tree?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I was looking at those dog bookends.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- They're different. - They're quite unusual.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08What is that made of? What is that material?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10It's meant to look like bronze.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's simulating bronze.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It's got very much an Art Deco look to it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16The dog's head's quite stylised.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20It's quite sort of geometric, sort of angles, isn't it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23He's got a flat nose, he's got very pointed ears,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27but it's just a base metal which has been bronzed
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and then mounted on these oak bookends.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I don't think they started life together,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36because I don't like the look of those screws.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38I didn't see that, yes.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- They look a bit modern. - They are, they do.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42It depends on how much they are though, of course.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- 45.- 45.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45- I don't know.- That's a bit much.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Even at 35, I don't think it's going to make a profit.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- No, I wouldn't. Not with that.- OK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Are you vetoing them? - Yeah, I'm vetoing that one.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55The bookends have been vetoed.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Now, Caroline has managed to track down some Moorcroft.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's very new.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03But a lot of this market is very much interiors.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06People are buying something they can use at home,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10but it's also got a name, so it's got an investment value as well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's got some crazing on it though, Caroline.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14It's just putting me off a little bit.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17You know, that's the glaze. It's just as the glaze cools,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19it contracts at slightly different speeds.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21So that was actually in the manufacturing, was it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23That's the way it is. If you look at other...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You'll see it in different vases as we walk around.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Sometimes they use it actually to decorative effect.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29So Caroline, what do you think of it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I like it. I like the colouring of it, and it is more modern.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It's probably that somebody could use it now.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It's more decorative for, like, now.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- A bit of an investment.- maybe.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Obviously, you can't guarantee the wiring!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Yeah, I understand that.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Excuse me. What is actually your very best price on that?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Very best, £150.- OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- What are you offering?- 100?- 100.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- No.- No? Couldn't come down to 100?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- 125.- 125.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57OK. I'm thinking.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's a risky one.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01One for the back burner then, Blues?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Maureen, what do you have there?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Is that a Bakelite jug?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I think it is, Maureen.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10What do you think of that? Have a look.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I quite like it. The handle's a bit tarnished.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I just like the idea of Bakelite.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I don't know why, but I think it's just fabulous
0:10:19 > 0:10:21and it's early hard plastic.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Bakelite is so of an era, isn't it?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Very much sort of '30s through to '50s.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Can you get the lid off?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Maybe we can sell somebody's old whisky in there!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I don't think I'd want to put my coffee in there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- No, I wouldn't. - It needs a bit of a clean, I think!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43But, hey, it's only £15.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm not sure how much it would make at auction, though.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49It is just for decorative purposes, I would suggest.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Absolutely.- So, I'm thinking, you know, really,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54for us to stand a profit at auction, it's got to be near
0:10:54 > 0:10:56the £5, £10 mark, I would say, at least.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Best I could do on that is 10.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Why don't we just leave it just for five minutes and then see how we go?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- No problem.- Bless you. Thank you so much.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05- You're so kind.- Great.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Thank you.- Might see you later.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Depends what else you find, Maureen.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Blues, what's on offer inside at the antiques fair?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Caroline, it says Moorcroft on here, look.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Moorcroft, yes. - It's modern again, isn't it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Yeah. A little lamp.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- That's pretty.- I like that.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26That's pretty. Can you see the Moorcroft stamp on it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28There, look.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Oh, yeah. Can you tell me what your best price is on this, please?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- My very best on it would be 75. - 75? It is pretty.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- It's very pretty.- I like that.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Nice colours. And it's blue. - Do you prefer it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's a small baluster. The other one's a large ovoid.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43It is. I like the brass on the top.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- This is fitted better. - It's got more...
0:11:46 > 0:11:47It's more character with the fitting,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50whereas the other's plastic, wasn't it, that was on there?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It was, but you could get that changed quite easily.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55This gentleman's got a mixture of old and new on the stall here,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- you see.- That one's quite...
0:11:57 > 0:11:58OK. The lamp with the lady?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Yes.- Yes, OK, you're jumping about.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01I'm jumping, but that's...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03An original piece, a French piece.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06You've chosen something which is very much deco.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Naked ladies, very popular in the '20s.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Still popular now, but there we are.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13You know, the style, name,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16you associate with 1925 of an exhibition in Paris,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19but this is more into the '30s.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22You've got Bakelite in the back and it's sort of like a lotus flower
0:12:22 > 0:12:25or something, and it's designed simply as a desk light.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Could do 50. - Is 50 your best price then?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It is.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31And that's helping you girls out today.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Shall we go for that, Pauline? - Shall we go for the lady?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Yeah, we'll go for that lady. - We would like to go for that, yes.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- You'd like to go for it?- Yes, I would do.- £50.- That's lovely.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43That's deal number one done.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44- Thank you.- Well done, ladies.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- OK, that's one in the bag. - One in the bag.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Two more.- Two to buy.- Two to go.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Relax a little bit more. Let's go shopping.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Thank you.- Thanks very much.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55So, in just under 20 minutes, the Blues have their first buy.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Kate, what do you have there?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Hey, I'll tell you what I have spotted, guys.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Come and have a look at this, Peter.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- So beautiful.- Now, this looks a little bit worn on the front,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08doesn't it? It's got a lovely plush velvet cover.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- But inside...- I love it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11You love it?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Open it up, so, we've got "Album" here
0:13:14 > 0:13:16written in beautiful gilt script.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19This is typically Victorian. Very elaborate.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Yes.- And if we go inside, this would have been a family photograph album.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Oh, my gosh.- So you can see, you've still got the photographs in it,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28but the nice thing about this one is the condition,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30because so many of these get broken up,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32people want the photographs and not the album.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- True.- The actual mounts get ripped or foxed.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38But this one, you can see,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- the condition of the photographs is really lovely.- Wow, look at that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43And they are such good quality, aren't they?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45All the way through... It is in really nice condition.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I think it's beautiful. It's so beautiful.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- We just bought one similar to that. - Yes, we did!- What was that?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We just bought one similar to that at a car boot!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Oh, did you, really?- But it was in a lot worse condition.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Was it? So, what sort of money did you pay?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I actually only paid £15 for it, but it was in...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01It wasn't as elaborate as that.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Yeah. Now, the price tag is £70 on there,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- which is an awful lot more than your £15.- Yeah.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12But I think the interior condition is really lovely
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and it's worth asking what the best price is.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Yeah. Hi.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You've got £70 on this.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21What's the real best you could do for us?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The best I can do on that is 60.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I would say, if you could do around 50, that would be perfect.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Go on, then.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Pretty please.- You are twisting my arm up my back.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32What do you think?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- That's great!- That's a deal on that one.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- I think you've got a deal. - Thank you, sir.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38You're an angel. Thank you so much.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Well done. Put it there. Great. Well done.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Fantastic. Come on, then.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45No time to lose.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49You certainly haven't. Both teams have two items still to find.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50What do you think about these?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53A set of tea knives by Yates Brothers, 1922.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55You can see here, you can see there's the hallmark
0:14:55 > 0:14:57on all of these. It's in a fitted box.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Is it the original box?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00If you look at it. Yeah, I mean,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03you can see there's a bit of discolouration,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05but it's fitted for it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Would you use them? - No, probably not.
0:15:08 > 0:15:0925.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12£25 is not a lot of money.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Is it going to make a massive profit? No, it's not.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16But if you buy it at the right price,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17you'll make a small profit.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18But at £25...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- No.- I doubt it, you know?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Let's go and look in the antiques centre. Come on.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24The knives aren't cutting it for the Blues.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27So, whilst they head off to the antiques centre,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Maureen, is this going to shine?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31So why has this caught your eye, Maureen?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I don't know. Well, it's big and it's imposing
0:15:34 > 0:15:35- and I love the kitsch colour.- Yeah?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I think you're right, it's a great colour.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Let's have a closer look at it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42So, I actually really like the shape.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44It's almost a sort of bell shape, isn't it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- I know.- Turn it upside down, it's still got the bulb in it, look!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's come straight out of a fitting, hasn't it?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53You think it's about 1920s, 1930s?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54I think it's slightly later.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57It's certainly that style, but I think it could be
0:15:57 > 0:16:00more like '50s, '60s in date.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's certainly a sort of '20s, '30s style, and that green,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07that kind of what I would call almost the bottom of a pond
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- sort of green...- Yes.- It's very from that era, isn't it?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I can see Peter hesitating over this.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14What do you think, Peter? What's your feeling?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I'm not so keen on it, to be honest.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Shall we find out how much it is?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I think that might make a bit of a difference
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- if we know how much it is. - What's your best price, please?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Well, it's on at 25, but I would consider offers.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27OK. What would you pay, Peter?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I'd probably pay somewhere around 15, something like that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Would you go as low as 10?- No.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- No?- No, I couldn't go to 10.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- OK.- I could do 15 on that for you.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Could you split the difference and do 12?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Yeah, go on.- Oh, bless you!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- What do we...?- I like that idea.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I think it's certainly going to make a profit at 12.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think we should go for it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- OK.- Can I override you on this one?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- I'll bow to your wishes. - Thank you, darling.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- So £12? Final answer? - Yes, absolutely!
0:16:57 > 0:16:58- We'll do it.- Thank you very much.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Thank you so much.- Well, I think Peter better have the next choice.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- What do you think?- It's a deal. - Come on, then.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- OK, we will shake on that. - Off we go!
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Well done, Maureen. 2-1 to the Reds with 30 minutes on the clock.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I'm going to leave the teams shopping
0:17:12 > 0:17:16as I head into the antiques centre to find out about a local hero.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I've been joined by Val Noble,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28whose grandfather, John William Bill,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31was a miner here in Elsecar.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34What have you brought along to show me today, Val?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I've brought my grandad's medal.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It's the Fitzwilliam Medal for Kindness.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44Oh, isn't that the most unusual little object?
0:17:44 > 0:17:49It's a medal in the shape of a coal tub, and on the front,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53it says the Fitzwilliam Medal for Kindness.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And we have an engraving of a pit pony.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Am I right there? Oh, look, the little wheels turn as well.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Isn't that fabulous?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Let's look around the back.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Silver hallmark, so it's a precious metal.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10And the date is for 1904.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Why was he given a medal for kindness?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15He was given it because of his act of bravery
0:18:15 > 0:18:18in saving his pit pony's life.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22He was working down the pit here at Elsecar one day
0:18:22 > 0:18:25when the roof caved in, and there was enough room for him
0:18:25 > 0:18:27to scramble out with his work friends,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31but he decided to stay with his pony because there wasn't room
0:18:31 > 0:18:32for the pony to get out.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34He wasn't going to go without it?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38He wasn't, and when eventually they did dig him out, they said to him,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41"John Willie, why didn't you scramble out with us?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44"Why did you stay?" And he said,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47"I knew you would dig for a man but you wouldn't dig for a pony."
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So, who gave him this medal?
0:18:49 > 0:18:54The mine owner's wife, Countess Maud Fitzwilliam,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59and she was the president of the Association for Prevention of Cruelty to Pit Ponies
0:18:59 > 0:19:03and she needed a hero and she found a hero in my grandad.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06And how did he do that?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Countess Fitzwilliam, being the president of the association,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13was in contact with the mine owners throughout England,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17and she passed on my grandad's story and used it to help change
0:19:17 > 0:19:20their minds, to let the ponies come out of the pit
0:19:20 > 0:19:22once a year for a holiday.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26And they all agreed and it changed pit ponies' lives forever,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29just that one week's holiday each year.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Now, Val, we all like to know what things are worth,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35but I think that this medal
0:19:35 > 0:19:39is a priceless piece of your family history
0:19:39 > 0:19:43and the history of mining in Elsecar.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48So I think that this little medal really is beyond price.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52It is. Our family would never, ever want it to leave our possession.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54It's priceless to us.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Val, that was a very touching story.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Thank you very much for telling it to us.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04But now it's time to get back to the shopping and find out if our teams
0:20:04 > 0:20:07have unearthed their three items.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Back to it and we are over 35 minutes into the shopping
0:20:16 > 0:20:20and the Blues are now trying their luck at the antique centre,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23while the Reds continue to scour the fair.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Pleased with how it's going, Kate?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Well, Maureen and Peter are great fun
0:20:26 > 0:20:28and they are really enjoying the fair.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30They are pouncing on pieces.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Maureen, in particular, I think, is acting on her gut instinct,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36but we've got two great first and second purchases.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40It's just a question of whether Peter is going to get his own way
0:20:40 > 0:20:42with that third choice.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43You have the next decision.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Yeah.- Lots of handbags, Peter.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49THEY LAUGH
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I tell you what, though, I think you would look good in that top hat.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54You always look good in hats because it covers half your face!
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Let's carry on up there.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Now, now. Blues, are you getting into the swing of things?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Little golfer.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Is it a salt and pepper pot? That's lovely, is that.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- I like that.- It says it's made by Goebel.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Goebel made little porcelain figures.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12You know the Dame Lucie Rie?
0:21:12 > 0:21:13- Yeah.- Little children with backpacks?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Yeah.- A lot of that sort of stuff.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17We've got golfers in our family so...
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Alan's on hand from the antiques centre to show you.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Stopper's in it, yeah? - What age would it be?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Roughly about '60s.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Yeah, '50s or '60s.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35German, it's porcelain, made in a slip, glazed.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's novelty and that novelty always sells.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41It's a table cruet, so you've got the salt pot, I guess,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44and the little golfer is the pepper.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46More holes in the pepper.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50And the way it stands is this little arrangement of golf clubs.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- It's quite cute, isn't it? - Quite cute.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55The important thing is you've got marks on here for Goebel
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- on the bottom. - Yeah. So, it is actually marked?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Yep. What's the best price you could probably do on that for us?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04The best on that we could do would be £20.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- £20?- OK.- We will go with that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08That is absolutely fine. OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Thank you very much.- £20.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- There we are.- Thank you very much.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14That was easy, Pauline.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It's two-all and 20 minutes left,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18so what's next for the Reds over at the fair?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20And is Peter getting a look-in?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Now he's going to be in his element.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26OK. What have we got there? We've got quite an assortment.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- What do you think?- Legion of Merit.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Right. That's an American one, isn't it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Yeah, American.- You've got to think where we are selling this.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34We are selling this in Knutsford, you know?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I know it's going to be online.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Even so, it's quite a niche market, isn't it?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Not local. They are South African.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Oh, are they? Springbok.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47That's quite nice for you guys, isn't it?
0:22:47 > 0:22:52So, Second World War medal and South African services medal,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54to WJ Timms, is that?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh, that's got a name.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Because there's not a lot of research on these, price-wise,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01sort of reduces the price, doesn't it?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Yes.- I think we will think about that one.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- OK.- We will park it. - Yeah, park it.- We will park it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Peter's not convinced and the Blues are struggling with their last item.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16You know, you love your ceramics, you actually really do.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Yeah.- And I don't know how many times I've heard the word Moorcroft
0:23:19 > 0:23:22mentioned, you're desperate to buy a piece.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Go and find some, then, Blues. How are we doing for time, Kate?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27So, eight minutes left, guys.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Not long. Now, this is what I remembered.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I wanted to show you this because, hopefully,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34this will appeal to both of you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We've got some First World War history here.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Three cards, lovely... Set in a lovely mount here.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42But these are beautiful, I think.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45They conjure up so much emotion.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49And these actually were embroidered in coloured silks by the women of
0:23:49 > 0:23:53France and then sold to the soldiers who were over there fighting,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55to the Allied forces.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57They've kept their colour quite well, haven't they?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The colour of them are beautiful, I think.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02There's also this one here that goes with them.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Oh, lovely. So, that goes with the set, does it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- It does, yes.- Fantastic.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It's not only the decorative appeal and obviously the fact that they are
0:24:10 > 0:24:14from the First World War, but very often, they are inscribed -
0:24:14 > 0:24:17they are postcards - with lovely handwritten messages.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I'm just going to look at this one. It's dated December, 1917.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25"Dear Father, just a card to convey the best of good wishes for a very
0:24:25 > 0:24:27"happy birthday.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31"You have seen many, so I hope you will see as many again.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34"May this be the best of them all
0:24:34 > 0:24:38"and every successive one grow brighter."
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Isn't that lovely?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- So sweet.- "With love, your ever-loving son, Harry."
0:24:43 > 0:24:46He's thinking of his father over there, in December,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48close to Christmas and...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Oh, Maureen!- I know.- Are you crying?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55They are. They are really emotional things.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- What does it make you think of? - Just the sacrifice, I think.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00More than anything else.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And it's almost romantic as well.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05It's just lovely.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I love it. It's so beautiful.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Rather nice.- How much is it?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- That's the tough bit. - Back to business!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17We've got 32 on the back there.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Could I be really cheeky? Could you do it for 20?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- 22.- I can accept 22.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I think so.- Yeah? 22?- What do you think?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- I think that's quite fair.- That's fair.- I think that's quite fair.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Well done, Reds.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31That was emotional.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Guys, we're done.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Woohoo! Yes!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37That's job done for the Reds.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39So, with just five minutes left,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42are the Blues heading back to the Moorcroft lamp
0:25:42 > 0:25:44with a ticket price of £200?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Is it still there? It is still there.- It is still there.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49We've come back to have a look.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Another look?- Yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Can I squeeze any more out of it to help us with the auction?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- 120.- Are we going to go for it?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Yeah, we will go for it.- Let's go for it.- Yeah?- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- We've got to.- We've got to. We are against time, really, aren't we?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Yeah.- It's perfect.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06There's no chips or anything on it.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- No.- All right. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10OK.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14That's it, teams. Time's up.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Let's go and have a well-deserved rest now, I think.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Thank you.- Well done.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25First up, Maureen and Peter are hoping they are in the picture
0:26:25 > 0:26:28with this photo album bought for £50.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Next, Maureen loved this green lamp.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Peter didn't. But they paid £12 for it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36And finally, it was an emotional final buy
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and they paid £22 for these postcards.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Well, Maureen, that was a highly emotional shop.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I know. We had a wonderful time.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48There were a few tears, but mostly laughter.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Peter, what's your favourite item? - I think the postcards.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I think they are going to do well.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56A lot of history with them and the story behind them so I think they will make a good profit.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Maureen, do you agree? What's your favourite item?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I really did like the postcards,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04but my favourite one is the green retro lamp.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I definitely think that's going to make the most profit.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Because you didn't pay a lot of money for it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11We only paid 12 quid.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Well, all in all,
0:27:13 > 0:27:19you spent £84, which means that you have to hand me over 216, please.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Certainly. There we go.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23That's lovely. Which I will hand straight over to Kate.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Thank you.- Kate, it's a lot of money.- It's a wedge, isn't it?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29It's going to be quite a challenge to spend all of that,
0:27:29 > 0:27:30but you never know. I might do it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Have a go! While Kate goes off to find her bonus buy,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41First up, Pauline and Caroline are hoping this lamp will set
0:27:41 > 0:27:44the auction alight. £50 paid.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Next, will they putt a profit with the novelty golf cruet set?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49£20 paid.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52And finally, as Caroline's gran used to collect Moorcroft,
0:27:52 > 0:27:53she wanted to buy some.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56They paid £120 for this piece.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Well, girls, did you have a great time?- We had a brilliant time.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Terrific. And you were the boss today?- I was the boss.- Yes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Yes.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Now, tell me, what was your favourite item?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11My favourite item was the 1930s lamp.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Is it the item that's going to bring the most profit, though?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I think it probably will. Yes, I think it probably will.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's something a little bit different.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And what about you? What was your favourite item?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24My favourite would be the little golfing salt and pepper pot.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27That was such fun. Is that going to make the most profit?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I don't think it will make the most profit.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I think the lamp will make the most profit, hopefully.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- OK. You are both in agreement there. - I'm the boss.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You spent £190.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Correct.- Well done, girls.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Could I have £110, please?
0:28:44 > 0:28:45- There you go.- All right.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48And Jonathan, £110.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Yeah.- What are you going to buy with that?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Well, I've got my eye on something. If it's still there, then wonderful.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56But otherwise, something very nice for the ladies,
0:28:56 > 0:28:58something different to what you've bought.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00So I've certainly got an idea.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03While Jonathan goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06we are heading off to the auction at Knutsford.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Today we are at Wright Marshall Auctioneers with auctioneer Nick Hall.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Welcome, Anita. Lovely to see you. - It's lovely to be here.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Now, for our Reds.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28First item that Maureen and Peter bought
0:29:28 > 0:29:30was this Victorian photograph album.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32What do you think, Nick?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Beautiful, isn't it? Absolute quality.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I love this lovely big embossed
0:29:36 > 0:29:39metal decoration plaque to the front.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- It's a good-looking thing. - It's strong. What is your estimate?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44I put 40-60 on that lot.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Yeah? Well, they paid £50 so there is a hint of a profit there.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Yeah, mid-estimate. Good thing.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Good. Their second item was this industrial lighting.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Yeah. Well, of course, industrial lighting is one of those buzzwords at the minute.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I mean, whether this was in an industrial setting, I don't know.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I don't think it's terribly old but I do like the shape.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04What's your estimate, Nick?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Well, I put 15-25 on it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Well, they only paid £12. - That was a good buy, yeah.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- I think there's profit left in there.- Profit there.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15This may have been her favourite item.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20- Yeah.- But this made her feel very emotional.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22It's one of those topics that does, isn't it?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It's military history, social history,
0:30:25 > 0:30:29and, of course, people losing and sending away their loved ones.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33The cards, as lovely as they are, are in plentiful supply.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- We see a lot of them. - Estimate.- For the four of them,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I think 10-20 is probably as much as we can expect.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Well, they paid £22.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- OK.- So they may or may not need their bonus buy.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49But we are going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55Maureen, Peter, you left Kate £216.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Kate, what did you buy?
0:30:58 > 0:30:59- Are you ready?- Very.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03This is what I came up with.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05It's quite pretty. Look at that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Look at the little flowers.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Well, as you can see, it's a dressing table set.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14We have a jar for powder, we have two candlesticks,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16a brush and a little hand mirror.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20But the thing I really love about it is this enamel work.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23The flowers here. Because this is beautifully done,
0:31:23 > 0:31:28because this actually looks like silver but it isn't.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- True.- So it's actually silver-plated,
0:31:30 > 0:31:34which is quite unusual to get silver plate with such a high standard of enamel.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- How much did you pay for it? - I actually only paid 38.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- 38.- That's not bad at all, actually,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44for an entire matching set like this.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- It's so pretty. Yes. - How much do you think?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- At auction?- I could see that making between 40 and £60 easily.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Just for the enamel work. It's all in fantastic condition as well.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- You can't bid on it.- I know.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Gutted.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Well, you seem very enthusiastic about it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03But you don't need to make up your mind right now.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04But in the meantime,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07let's see what the auctioneer thinks
0:32:07 > 0:32:10about Kate's pretty dressing table set.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15So, Nick, what do you think of Kate's bonus buy?
0:32:15 > 0:32:16I like it. I like it a lot, actually.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20It's really quite a practical, useful, lovely little thing, really.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Yeah. Rather nice.- Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25who's the prettiest of them all?
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Well, it's practical, it's useful,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29it's a nice-looking set in a good condition.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31It could do all right. Yeah.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Why not? I've put £30-50 on it.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Well, Kate paid 38. - Hey, that was a good buy.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I think it was as well.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Well, that's it for the Reds.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Let's have a look at the Blues.
0:32:43 > 0:32:49- Right.- Now, Pauline and Caroline's first item was the table lamp.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Yeah. Well, I've catalogued it quite cautiously as Art Deco style.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56If you look at the underside, the back of it,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59the construction of it, you can see it's later.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01But it's stylish and it's got the look.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03What's your estimate, Nick?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well, for a stylish lot, I've given it a stylish 20-40.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08They paid £50 for it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12- OK.- It's an attractive looking thing, but might struggle a wee bit?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Might a bit, yeah.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Their second item is this lovely wee condiment set,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19little golfer's condiment set.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21It was Caroline's favourite item.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Yeah, it's good. I like it as well.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25It's a nice thing. And I think the collectors are going to like this.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28It's got everything going for it, really.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30You've got golfing enthusiasts, the ceramic collector,
0:33:30 > 0:33:33the condiment collector, the Goebel collector.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35They're all going to be chasing after this.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- What's your estimate?- Well, on this I have put £20-40 on it.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- They paid £20 so very hopeful on that.- It's a good buy.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- There should be profit in that. - Good buy.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Their third item was the Moorcroft lamp base.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Yeah, it's got that magic name, hasn't it?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Moorcroft. And this wonderful tube lining decoration and of course the
0:33:55 > 0:33:59quality, even though it's modern, the quality still shines through.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Estimate on that?
0:34:00 > 0:34:04My estimate, because it's not a rare pattern, quite a common pattern,
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- £40-50.- Yeah, well, they paid £120.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10They pushed the boat out there.
0:34:10 > 0:34:16- Wow.- So it may be that they need their bonus buy on this one.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19So let's go and have a look at it.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Pauline, Caroline, you left Jonathan 110.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Yeah.- Jonathan, what did you buy?
0:34:25 > 0:34:29You ladies, I'm sure you like a little bit of jewellery.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Wow.- That's not what I expected.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34No. I don't think we did see this when we went shopping.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35What drew me to it was it's just
0:34:35 > 0:34:38very happy and it has that sort of...
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Reminds me of sort of chintz patterns of the mid-20th century.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47It's silver hallmarked Birmingham 1945, so fits in rather neatly,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49end of the war, hooray.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Celebrate. And it's jolly and that sort of thing.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- It's very, very pretty. - And how much did you spend on that?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Straight in there. Straight in there.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59It cost me £30.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Right. And how much do you think it might bring at the auction?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05I see a profit of £10 or £20.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07So, girls, do you like it? Is it to your taste?
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- It is, yeah.- Beautiful, yes. Love it. Really, really like that, Jonathan.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12- Nice piece of jewellery.- Good.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14So you're very enthusiastic.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18And good price. But you don't need to make up your mind just at this
0:35:18 > 0:35:21moment. But in the meantime,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's lovely wee brooch.
0:35:26 > 0:35:32Now, Jonathan bought this little brooch for his bonus buy.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36It's a nice thing. It's actually made in Birmingham, 1945,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39although it looks earlier. It's got a bit of an Art Deco feel about it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Good little thing, really. Sweet little thing.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Very, very pretty.- Yeah. - What's your estimate?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45I think £30-50.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Well, Jonathan paid £30.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Did he?- Yeah.- He did well. That was a good buy.- Wonderful.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Now, Nick, you're going to be our auctioneer today.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54I am waving the gavel for you, yes.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58I always look forward to watching you on the rostrum.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Thank you, Anita.- So good luck.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06£40 on my left.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Maureen, Peter, here we are at the auction day.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Maureen, you've left your specs behind.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12Can you see that auctioneer?
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Yes, I'm going to strain, but I've left them somewhere in my handbag.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- So she can't see the hammer go down! - Never mind, never mind.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Well, the first item coming up is the Victorian photo album.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Next up, lot number 229.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Nice quality Victorian photograph album.
