01:07there's no time to waste welcome to the bidding room first to meet the dealers are Tash and Chris
01:24who've traveled from Lutterworth with a rather unexpected guest we've brought our unusual
01:29friends with us today he's made of plastic and he's fully supported he doesn't eat a good meal though
01:41anyone you know I feel as if I recognize it okay let's talk to Tash and Chris shall we yes
01:51that's a
01:52good to meet Tash Chris lovely to meet you both and welcome to the bidding room thank you thank you
01:56for
01:56bringing this lovely thing in it's gorgeous where's he or she been living he he belongs to my father in
02:05yeah he bought him from a school in Leicester dressed him up and put him in the corner and that's
02:11where
02:12he stayed for years yeah Uncle Bert sat in the corner Uncle Bert Uncle Bert okay just moves and
02:18downsized so it's time for Bert to um find a new home that's a bit mean on Bert okay so
02:26Simon's got
02:27oh he's got many skeletons in his closet so let's find out what he thinks about Bert shall we I
02:32love
02:33Bert I'd quite happily have Bert in my living room it's great he's made of a form of plastic or
02:39a resin or
02:40something like that isn't it although of course you know a lot in medical schools Nigel of course
02:45there would have been real skeletons wouldn't they you know I think it's best to be resin plastic yes yes
02:51and more or less full size little screw in the top so you could hang him if you want it
02:56on a stand you
02:57could turn him into a lamp you could I'm loving it surprisingly Nigel the market loves this kind of
03:07thing I'm always amazed by that yeah antiques no no no we'll have this yeah we've had some yeah over
03:15the years yeah definitely they always sell some out of interest how old do you think Bert is um I
03:20don't
03:21think it's a huge huge age what would it be nineteen seventies eighties maybe something like that you
03:26know I mean these badges alone are worth a few Bob yes we've got some great motorcycle biker club badges
03:35on there the biker leather jacket right then um maybe it's time to ask that all important
03:41question how much is he worth in my head I'm thinking what would I pay for it and I I
03:48think
03:49in an auction environment honestly he would happily hit a hundred pounds maybe even a little bit more
03:57you know so I'm gonna say a hundred hundred and twenty yeah but the dealers next door they'll have
04:02so much fun Nigel they certainly will is anyone in particular well I think it's it's the similarities
04:07with Ian are almost uncanny thank you very much you two for bringing Bert in thank you and I hope
04:13he
04:13finds a very lovely new home okay okay thank you very much thank you very much thank you bye bye
04:18yeah dear old uncle Bert I mean the more I see Bert the more I'm attached to him do you
04:24see a role for
04:25him in the theatre perhaps always a role for him in the theatre
04:32Bert was valued at between a hundred and one twenty so we're pretty confident that Bert will see a new
04:38home today my dad's predicted that Ian will buy him so um we'll see
04:47hello hi there hello hi and your name is Chris and Tash hello hello Chris right we are absolutely
04:59wanting to know what's under this so can you whip it off I have the pleasure of having full frontal

09:43off you but
09:44I better leave them on next to arrive in Edinburgh is Francesca with his loyal pup Sky and they're not
09:56alone I bought this big item really nice tall and old and definitely it will appeal any age and people
10:12just try to work out what animal that is it's a hair yeah and he's uh seems in a hurry
10:18they always
10:19are hello Francesca hello and who we got here I go sky sky good for you sky so where did
10:28we find this
10:28Francesca right this come from a lady up north of England uh but like this about four years ago
10:36and the lady she said to me is about 1950 1940 where's it been living for the last four years
10:44I'm in my living room oh really yes do you have any other creatures living in the in the living
10:49room
10:49no no no no okay fine just clear that up she's the only one yeah Simon is our expert yes
10:55and he's very
10:56good at this sort of thing he's quite a handsome chap I think he's modelled on a carousel animal
11:03I know the figure actually it's by the original was by a chap called Gustav Denzel this is more of
11:10a sort
11:10of a reproduction piece of of that carousel I don't think this was ever part of a of a ride
11:16as such it
11:16was made as a decorative thing date wise this could be anything from 10 20 30 years old I don't
11:25know to be
11:25honest right so there's not a huge huge age to it why does it come apart it just well exactly
11:31which
11:31may it makes you sort of uh reiterates the thing that it's more of a decorative thing yeah obviously
11:36as a fairground piece would have been more of a one-piece item wouldn't it yeah absolutely do you
11:41remember how much you paid for it yes quite a lot of money 500 500 okay yes yeah but you
11:49bought it
11:49because you liked it yeah yeah it was something I really liked well maybe it's time to ask that
11:53all-important question yeah what's the value three words yeah sometimes cause real problems yeah but
12:00not today not today not today I know what I could get for it in an auction room and I
12:07think I'd be
12:07doing well to see more than 150 to 200 but you saw it fell in love with it yeah maybe
12:16that'll be the
12:17same story next door fingers crossed yeah I think it's colorful enough for Joe but it's wacky enough
12:23for Melissa and it's Ian maybe as well thank you very much thank you so much and I wish you
12:29the very
12:30best of luck thank you I think you'll do fine thank you all right thank you very much thank you
12:33bye
12:34bye
12:38well the same valuation today was between 150 to 100 and he think maybe easier reproduction to be honest
12:47I don't think so it is a reproduction and I'll be when I go with the dealer to show that
12:52the piece
12:53is unique and absolutely a volume you're gonna be up
13:04oh hello hello hello hello everyone hello and what's your name Francesco hello Francesco and this is guy
13:13I love the dog colour thank you thank you very much okay put us out of our misery can you
13:19show
13:19us what's underneath the cloth please yeah it's something really unique and there reminds too many
13:25things Francesco my lovely rabbit have you got a shop a restaurant to know I'm a collector I buy a
13:35lot
13:35stuff all over the place okay and when I fell in love with something I just buy and that's it
13:41remember the carousel yeah I've never ever seen a rabbit it's more like a jigsaw what's the age
14:07you're not the only one do you know the age yeah well the age I believe is between 1950 and
14:131960s
14:14well Simon think he's a reproduction yeah but I absolutely believe it is not I disagree on that
14:20so this could possibly like be like a shop display which is made to sort of give us that the
14:26fairground
14:27feel fairground theme yeah but you know what the bottom line is it's a great item oh gosh yeah
14:34you know it's very decorative very very well in large straightaway just unique I love the ice I love
14:42the color I love the color down to the pool just done it's beautiful in drinking your leg over and
14:50I
14:50could get my leg over that no problem if you break it you buy it mate yeah it's nice it's
14:59a good great
14:59thank you thank you so much okay let's jump hop and skip oh on this bid Simon valued the wooden
15:09hair
15:09between 150 and 200 pounds but will any of the dealers make the giant leap closer to the 500 pounds
15:18Francesco paid for it 40 pounds 50 pounds I'll do 60 oh and I'll do 70 then I'll do 80

18:45in great condition and it's signed by all four members of one of the biggest bands in the world

19:20to come with me to Belfast city centre
19:23and stand from 7pm to midnight
19:26to get in to buy the record
19:28but also on the same day
19:30you two were recording
19:32for the BBC
19:34in Belfast
19:35and on a hunch
19:36I figured they may come to the record store
19:38and sure enough they did
19:39but the funny part was that
19:41my wife stood for 10-15 minutes
19:43when I went round and got the signatures
19:44and at one point she came to me
19:46and she said
19:46I've just been talking to that guy over there
19:48in the leather jacket for about 10 minutes
19:50and he's really really nice
19:51who's he
19:52and it was Larry Mullen the drummer

20:15and
20:17with these Nigel
20:18it's provenance isn't it
20:19in the story
20:20I mean you can't get to
20:21the rhetoric
20:21rhetorical question

20:25huge market
20:26for
20:27not only vinyl
20:29but
20:29you too

20:32of this
20:33of the late 80s
20:34early 90s period
20:36when they're
20:36arguably at their
20:37commercial peak
20:38shall we say anyway
20:39okay why don't we ask
20:40that all important question
20:41okay
20:42so what do you think
20:44it would be worth
20:48well I saw an identical one
20:51from the same evening
20:53sell at auction
20:53two three years ago
20:55I think it was now
20:59for 1,300
21:02so
21:03that's to be honest
21:04where I'd expect
21:05this one to be
21:06there is no purchase
21:07price is £5.49
21:11so
21:11yeah

21:31that he saw
21:32a few copies of this
21:33in recent years
21:34and he reckoned
21:35the value would be
21:36about £1,300
21:37I've done my own research
21:39and I've found values
21:40considerably more than that

24:52four figures aren't we
24:53so
24:54Ian would you
24:55would you go to four figures?

26:10haven't you?
26:11no
26:11it's many many years ago

26:23thank you very much
26:23I love these
26:24they're tremendous
26:25thank you
26:26do they belong to you?
26:27they belong to my parents
26:28and at the end of the war
26:30my father was invited
26:31to take a position up
26:33in South Africa
26:34you know
26:35leaving a country
26:37where it was still rationed
26:38to this amazing
26:41food that was served
26:42on these ships
26:43and that was
26:43that was second class
26:44it wasn't first class
26:46dinner was quite something
26:47yes
26:49what sort of year
26:50would this be then?
26:51they range from
26:531948
26:54to 1959
26:56brilliant
26:57I see that
26:57consomme plays a very big part
26:59yes
27:00that we don't often see
27:01on a minute
27:02consomme
27:03it's sort of incredible
27:04well Simon
27:05has been all over the world
27:07he flies
27:09helicopters
27:09and in a ship
27:10so you'll be able to tell us
27:12all about it
27:12yes
27:13absolutely
27:14I often think of them as
27:16almost like
27:16a souvenir
27:18in their own right
27:19aren't they
27:19with the date
27:20the name of the ship
27:21and a different illustration
27:23on the front
27:23I was quite drawn to
27:25which is a bit later
27:26this was 1959
27:29the children's fancy dress tea party
27:32I was on that one
27:33do you remember it?
27:35no
27:36no
27:37that was great
27:38so you've got all your
27:39nursery rhymes
27:40interspersed with the actual menu
27:42yeah
27:43no
27:43fascinating
27:44fascinating
27:44and we do see them
27:46quite often
27:47up to
27:4860s 70s I guess
27:51but then
27:51there's cheaper air travel
27:54kind of took over
27:55it just makes me want to go on a cruise
27:57fantastic
27:58do you want to ask that
27:59all important question?
28:00well yes
28:01Simon
28:02how much do you think
28:03they are worth?
28:05they're not the
28:06easiest thing to put a price on
28:08if I had them in a
28:09in an auction room
28:11they would probably
28:13carry an estimate of
28:14sort of
28:17it's not going to sound a lot
28:18but sort of 30 to 50
28:19you know
28:20and then
28:21we just see what happens
28:23with them really
28:24but
28:25they do have a following
28:26they do
28:27Faye how does that sound to you?
28:29fine
28:29yeah
28:30we'll see
28:30we'll see what happens
28:31we'll see what we can do
28:34very best of luck
28:35thank you very much
28:36thank you
28:38would you like the roast pheasant?
28:41I'll stick to the toasted cheese
28:43thank you
28:43oh really?
28:47well Simon valuated them
28:50between 30 and 50 pounds
28:53I had expected a little bit higher
28:55yeah
28:56we'll see what we can do
28:57we'll try and tug on those heartstrings
28:59and try and get that valuation up a bit further
29:03the ladies are setting sail to showcase their collection
29:06to Jo, Melissa, Jackie and Ian
29:09who are joined by auctioneer and decorative dealer
29:11JB
29:16hello there
29:17hello
29:18hello
29:18hello
29:19yeah
29:19hello
29:20thank you so much for coming in
29:22what are your names please?
29:25my name is Pamela
29:26and my name's Vanessa
29:27we've got a lovely collection it looks here
29:29we've got some menus
29:31oh
29:32yes
29:32these are beautiful
29:34they belong to my parents
29:36because at the end of the war
29:39my father was invited to take up a position in South Africa
29:43and of course in those days you'd travel by ship
29:47and so this is a Union Castle line
29:50that travelled from Southampton to Cape Town
29:54oh wow
29:55wow
29:55I mean you look at these and it actually takes you straight back to an era doesn't it?
30:00these are the days where people used to dress for dinner didn't they?
30:03yeah
30:03and you can see in the menus actually they have the orchestral accompaniment
30:07yeah
30:08wow
30:09the way this is written
30:11you know it's the asparagus
30:16that's French
30:17that's French
30:18and of course it was in the it was leaving Britain when they still had Russian books
30:24oh this was top notch wasn't it?
30:26so are they all different dates then?
30:29it's 1947 was the first one?
30:321949 to 1959
30:33beautiful thank you
30:35I tell you what I'm intrigued by is the fact that they've got paintings on them
30:40this one is from an original watercolour painting
30:45and then to reproduce it on just a menu
30:51is it's quite extraordinary
30:53I think they're artistically they are stunning
30:57and historically they're a great collection
31:00I love them thank you very much

31:02I think we'd better start some bidding

34:00finally today there's a return visitor to the bidding room
34:04Nilesh and his son Ayush
34:06so we bought something that's mechanical
34:09it's made of wood and metal
34:11it's got numbers and cogs
34:12and when you get it right
34:14it goes
34:14bing
34:20I know what you're thinking
34:22you like the wooden case more than what's inside it
34:25yeah
34:26this is just too complicated for me I'm afraid
34:29yeah
34:29we've had bigger ones
34:30much bigger ones
34:31we have
34:31this is kind of a pocket calculator
34:34yes
34:35you obviously need a big pocket but
34:36so let's ask Nilesh and Ayush
34:39what they think about it
34:40hello you two
34:41oh hello
34:42hello
34:42welcome back to the bidding room
34:44good to see you again
34:44last time I saw you there was a whole family
34:46yes
34:47so Akshay was supposed to come my older son
34:49that's his item
34:50but he's got exams
34:51so we've got Ayush here
34:52you can come
34:53yeah
34:53okay now what have you bought us today
34:56it's an old like calculator
34:58right
34:59I don't know how to use it
35:01no no no
35:02nor do we
35:03so it's always been in Akshay's bedroom
35:05I bought it for him
35:06he knows how to use it
35:07he does
35:07he was like look
35:09let's see what it's worth
35:10okay
35:11well Simon's here
35:12he knows
35:13he knows practically nothing about these things
35:17so why not ask him
35:18I do
35:19I know it's good that they're called pinwheel calculators
35:22because
35:23when we adjust pins inside
35:25that turn on wheels
35:27and then
35:27hopefully we get to the
35:29the correct conclusion
35:30date wise I don't know
35:32I'd probably put it
35:341930s
35:3540s
35:36okay
35:36you know so it's early 20th century
35:38and there is a market for these sort of antique calculating
35:43anything mechanical really that people can play about with you know
35:46so there's a good market for that kind of thing
35:48so this will make money and we're going to go for your son to buy something more advanced
35:54you need to talk to him
35:55oh
35:56he's basically decided on route
35:58yeah
35:58the cash is coming in my pocket
36:00yeah yeah
36:01he won't know
36:01yeah
36:02okay
36:03have a word with Simon
36:05how many millions
36:07how many millions
36:08are I going to get
36:09I'm afraid it's not going to be millions
36:12but I must say
36:13this one is
36:14his condition is excellent
36:15um
36:16fair auction estimate would be probably
36:21sixty to a hundred pounds quite easily you know so
36:24how does that sound
36:26that's a good enough money for me
36:30anyway
36:30now before you go and meet the dealers
36:31let's sum up what we've learned about this
36:33so we've got a 1940s pinwheel calculator
36:37from that
36:38go with the condition
36:39because I think it's in really tipped up condition
36:41sure you'll get the
36:43the hundred rather than the sixty hopefully
36:45I think you'll do well
36:45yeah
36:46keep the money
36:47yeah I'll give you the one
36:49thank you
36:49thank you
36:50thank you
36:50bye-bye
36:52yeah I would
36:53I'd be totally lost trying to
36:55trying to make it work
36:56I wouldn't know where to begin
37:00Simon valued it at sixty to two hundred pounds
37:02I thought we were gonna get millions
37:03well maybe let's see
37:05Simon did say it was in great condition
37:07and we've got something to sweet and deal with
37:13hello
37:13hello
37:14hello
37:15hello
37:15how you doing?
37:17good we're good
37:17thank you very much for coming along today

37:37yep
37:39oh
37:40okay okay okay okay
37:42yeah
37:42and funnily enough
37:44you need one
37:45a calculator
37:46oh
37:47I see
37:47it's got to be something to do with spelling or adding
37:51one of the two
37:52a calculator machine made by the Britannic patented wood green London
37:59oh
37:59it's a London piece
38:01so Ian I need to do twenty times twenty add five
38:04yeah
38:05but minus twenty because I owed that to Emma
38:07I also owe a fiver to Joe actually
38:09so minus that
38:10but then I've got the interest
38:11that you need to put onto that amount
38:13yeah
38:14what are we amounting to at the minute mate?
38:15we're just up to about
38:16thirty three pound fifty two
38:21it's very nice
38:22I haven't got a scooby-doo how to use it
38:24but it is gorgeous
38:25what did Simon tell you about it?
38:27it's a pin
38:29pinwheel
38:311930s to 1940s calculator
38:33did either Simon or Nigel know how to operate this?
38:37no
38:38no
38:38well my son does
38:40my older son does
38:40yeah
38:41he shows off to all of us
38:43he's smarter than both of me and Ian
38:44for me it is a bit of our history isn't it
38:49it's a bit of what we used to use
38:50an old bank or something like that
38:52or an old accountant's office
38:54and you think about all the money that went in
38:57to actually put this together in the first place
38:59you know how expensive it would have been
39:01it just blows my mind every time
39:03so yeah
39:04if you've got a nice traditional looking study
39:07I'd rather have this on my desk on display than a modern day calculator
