00:00our venue for today Shuttleworth house in Bedfordshire has all the attributes we love
00:07on the roadshow a beautiful historical home set on a wonderful estate with graceful gardens water
00:15features and a runway complete with the collection of historic aircraft dating from the dawn of
00:24aviation in hangars close by we'll have a look at them later but the pride of the collection
00:29has to be this beauty 1942 Supermarine Spitfire and it's about to fire up
00:38chocks away
00:43and our experts are also cleared for takeoff coming up it's very slinky malinky it moves
00:55beautifully on the hand like that okay this is a passion challenge isn't it
00:59oh yes there you go and this market is on fire crikey for a mug wow good old auntie jean
01:09welcome to the antiques roadshow
01:18well under the canopy of the trees we're here with the most spectacular botanical vase but before I
01:31I fill in some of the blanks and tell you about it how's it come to be in your life I got this about 10
01:37years ago from my mum and prior to that her great-great-grandmother was gifted it by a major
01:44who was serving in France at the time and it came to me and I was asked to take it to the antiques roadshow which
01:55is taking a little bit longer than anticipated my mum did say if I bought it then it changed hands and it becomes mine so
02:05really
02:15so at this pivotal moment we are now transferring title absolutely from mum to you yeah absolutely
02:24wow she might she might not be on the same page as that but so what we're looking at it's fairly
02:32monumental in terms of its scale we're looking at a piece of classic Art Nouveau French cameo
02:40glass now when we're looking at French cameo glass and Art Nouveau cameo glass there are certain names
02:46that we always want to hear certain names that we always want to find one of course is the great
02:52Emile Gallet and the other is the firm of Dorme now based in Nancy and you can see they've got the
03:00cross of Lorraine which is always in their mark but they were a glass house that were really pivotal
03:07at the end of the 19th beginning of the 20th century formed in 1878 by Jean Dorme he opened the
03:15factory with a move to creating beautiful fine art glass but it was his two sons August and Antonin who
03:22really grabbed the baton and ran and then in 1904 sadly the glass world lost Emile Gallet now he had been the
03:33trendsetter and with his passing they saw their opportunity and boy did they go for it and for me this
03:40piece I think is around that 1904 okay 1908 period it's cameo glass so with cameo you have a process in the
03:50hot where different colors and layers of glass are gathered so it's cased over one over the other and
03:58you've got this beautiful gradation of color from you know this lovely canopy of leaves down to this very dark base then principally what
04:06happens is they mask it and it's dipped in acid to cut away what's not wanted and then you get this
04:15secondary cutting where you start to see the veins in the leaves and then there will be an element of
04:20hand finishing to bring this up to the finished piece yeah beautiful it's an exemplary piece and I think in the
04:28market today at auction you'd be comfortably looking at two to three thousand pounds wow fantastic gosh
04:36thank you thank you very very welcome and clearly title is now yours so go and enjoy it
04:42I honestly didn't know how much the vase would have been worth so to know that it had value but also to
04:52know it was a really considered gift originally makes it really special so yeah delighted
04:58this is an incredibly colorful picture and it's actually so distinctively bold it is unmistakably the
05:17picture in the hand of an artist that's from very far away from here an artist called prefet du faux
05:22from haiti and I'm wondering how this picture from haiti came to be here today I used to work for a lady in
05:32the 90s and she was deputy high commissioner of jamaica when she died the family said I could have
05:38anything in the house that I liked and I like this picture because it was very colorful and the little
05:44people reminded me of larry as well so um yes I loved it so du faux became one of haiti's most
05:53well-known artists I mean he was born in the 1920s he was largely self-taught he worked with his father
05:58um who was who made boats and so I suppose he became very good at observing things you know he watched his
06:05father he watched the people around him but he was largely self-taught so he's painted it in oil on board
06:11um which is quite typical for him it was likely painted in and around the 50s or 60s and I think
06:18when you look at some of the detail actually the people are really great I mean you've got them in
06:22a kaleidoscope of color I love the reference you made to larry and manchester because he of course
06:28was also really well known for painting crowds of people but I suppose unlike larry who really painted
06:34from his experience and although his cities are imaginary to an extent they are based on his
06:40experience in and around manchester whereas du faux was quite different they are all imaginary
06:46landscapes there isn't a town that looks exactly like this and I think that's part of the beauty of
06:53it that this was completely created in his mind I'm sure though that like larry his people would have
07:00been people that he came across that he then peppers into the landscape I love you know you've
07:04got someone with a walking stick here you've got little children playing by the bridge you've then
07:09got people sort of slowly carrying things walking up the road and what I love is that he had this
07:16incredible sense of color to bring together orange and yellow and green and fuchsia and make it work
07:25in the landscape is really really quite special I mean he was apparently inspired to paint because
07:32one day he saw a vision of the virgin mary appear at him at the top of a mountain and she commanded him
07:38to paint and so he did have this sort of very strong you know spiritual side to him and I just wonder
07:45whether that's why you've got so many mountains in your picture that you know it's quite a significant
07:50panorama across the back of the composition I say he did become pretty well known in his lifetime
07:57and so today if this was to come to auction we would probably put an estimate in the region of 800
08:02to 1200 pounds right okay yeah it's just lovely isn't it
08:07oh that's great I haven't seen one of those for a while do you know what it is well I've only known it
08:18as a passion gauge oh right you hold the bottom bowl like that and then if you're passionate
08:25it bubbles up oh my goodness oh my goodness there we go there you go hot stuff okay this is a passion
08:34challenge isn't it okay oh yes there you go oh yes
08:37whose was it we found it in um our granddad's things do you know where it would be from
08:44they're assumed to be French although I've never seen a maker's mark on one um value I've put it
08:50at perhaps 100 120 pounds I think it's terrific really good fun we love it so I didn't do very
09:08well learning German at school so I'm going to use what German I have to try and decipher or translate
09:13the plaque on the top of this and as far as I can see it says we Wilhelm and that's Kaiser Wilhelm
09:18the second basically by God's grace the German Kaiser and Emperor of Prussia give this presentation
09:25to the officer of the British ship Torhead J.G. Brew for his help in rescuing the crew of the German
09:33ship Helene now we've got a pair of binoculars and a case and I really would love you to explain to me
09:40what you know about this please and this gentleman J.G. Brew so this is um John George Brew and he is my
09:47great-grandfather from what I am aware of he was in the merchant navy right and he was on the Torhead
09:54which was traveling to South America and they came across a boat in distress and as is such in the
10:03maritime world you always go to the aid of distressed fellow sailors which is obviously what they did
10:10so here we have a medal which is dated 1902 and as part of this group that was the medal it's kind
10:16of a humane society style medal that was given for saving life in in maritime situations but I think
10:23the story gets even more poignant in a way doesn't it because here we have his dog tags yes from the
10:31First World War that's right what happened to him so he joined the Irish Fusiliers in 1914 and in 1918
10:41unfortunately he was shot at and injured by the Germans and captured by them and died a week later in
10:49German captivity gosh really here he is in 1902 rescuing the German crew of a ship and the Kaiser
10:57awards him this as a gift and in 1918 the same Kaiser's army sadly ends up shooting him and he dies as a
11:07result of his injuries and you know I do find that a very very poignant story and a terrible end really
11:13yes yes so I'm going to put a value on this and I think in reality if it came up for auction it would
11:19probably make between 500 and a thousand pounds at auction as a story and a group of objects as I say
11:26that very poignant idea about man's humanity and inhumanity absolutely all encapsulated in one
11:33I think amazing little story thank you for bringing it thank you thank you very much
11:43so you woke up this morning you thought antiques roadshows in town I know I'll take a rocking horse
11:51along absolutely tell me more um so I was the chairperson of a local community preschool um that
12:00unfortunately has recently closed but this was an item we'd had for many years that had been donated
12:05to us and when it came time to clear we weren't quite ready to get rid of it so we've been holding
12:09on to it for a bit and I thought actually today's the day to bring it along and see if I can find
12:13anything out about it okay okay so what do you like about it I love his little face it's quite sweet
12:18and the um the joins here these kind of peg joins the way it's brought together I have to say that when
12:25you brought this to my table I thought I know that work I turned it over as I'm going to do now
12:30and there is actually almost a stamped on the base there a mark which I recognize instantly and that
12:38says Kai Bogeson who is a really significant figure in the world of Danish design he actually trained as a
12:48silversmith and he was a real craftsman he starts in silversmithing he moves into toy making and he does
12:55that from a small workshop and shop in the center of Copenhagen and he was known for these animals he
13:01designed a whole menagerie most famously a monkey but also a puffin an elephant a hippo all sorts of
13:09animals which are hugely popular and which is still being made today oh wow and if you just look at the
13:14design for a moment the great thing is this has been designed with children in mind was it a popular toy
13:20it it was very popular it was mostly like between two and four year old children who were using it
13:25and any time it was out they would automatically gravitate because it's just the right size
13:28they do crop up from time to time at auction we need to bear in mind condition uh it's been well
13:35and truly loved but I think even so at auction I can see the specialty between 100 and 150 pounds
13:42oh wow that's great for a genuine item but um I mean I think one of the best things about it is
13:49how much love it's had over there yeah yeah you seem a little surprised I am I am a little bit
13:53yeah uh yeah I wouldn't have expected that well I'm very glad you did decide to bring it to
13:58Antiques Roadshow today thank you very much thank you so much
14:02our venue today is known as Shuttleworth House after the family who lived here
14:15it was built in 1875 for Joseph Shuttleworth he'd made his fortune manufacturing some of the
14:22world's earliest steam driven farm machines and tractors in 1932 the estate was passed down to
14:30his grandson Richard Shuttleworth aged just 23 he'd become the owner of a huge estate and a fortune to
14:38match having grown up in an engineering family it's no surprise that Richard developed a love of
14:43mechanics and machines and with his newfound wealth he was able to indulge his passion for cars like this
14:49magnificent 1890s pan art he quickly started building up an array of fast cars which eventually would become a world-renowned collection
15:04but Richard wasn't just a wealthy collector gathering fast cars he was a genuine racer in 1935 he won Britain's first Grand Prix at Donington Park driving his Alfa Romeo
15:16but flying was to become his true passion and this is where it all began his very first plane a 1928 DH60 Hermes Moth it set him back 300 pounds plus one guinea for the registration fee and he quickly clocked up hundreds of air miles often with his dog Tipper on board
15:34the one plane soon became a collection of many more his oldest aircraft and 1909 blerio was restored by Richard himself with his mum and sister sewing the linen wings using the family's billiard table today it's famous as the world's oldest flying aircraft
15:55with the outbreak of world war 2 Richard joined the RAF in 1939 and despite his extensive flying experience he still had to do official training including learning to fly night missions
16:08sadly just a year later during a night flying exercise his plane crashed and he died he was just 31
16:16his mother Dorothy kept his entire collection eventually opening it up as a public display for everyone to enjoy
16:24Richard Shuttleworth was ahead of his time restoring vintage aircraft long before it was common practice
16:31today his collection has international acclaim attracting tens of thousands of aviation enthusiasts
16:38and today our roadshow visitors
16:43I want to know how long have you had this mug and is this how you learnt the alphabet it is how I learnt the alphabet but I've had this since I was a baby so my godmother gave this mug to me as a christening present in
17:02the rest of the book I've had this is the one from the back when I was a mug you know I was a small mug and I was a small mug and I was a small mug in my
17:09house but it was a small mug so it was always on a shelf in the bedroom or in a cupboard and it was only in my latter years that I've been given permission to have
17:14it myself it is a very beautifully graphically designed piece and it is by the Wedgwood factory but the magic to it is the name of the designer and that's Eric
17:28That's Eric Revelius.
17:30Right.
17:30So he was a British painter, designer, book illustrator, wood engraver.
17:36He was a very, very talented man.
17:39So Eric Revelius was working from around 1920.
17:45Some of his designs were used by Wedgwoods, and some of his designs were for his freelance work.
17:51Now, he's very well known for the coronation mugs.
17:55So he did the coronation mug designed for the late queen, and for her father, and for the king that abdicated.
18:04But before all of that was going on, he designed this mug.
18:10So this was known as the nursery alphabet mug.
18:15And surprise, surprise, it came in blue, but it also came in pink.
18:20Yes.
18:21You've got the blue one, which I think is far nicer.
18:23But it also came in green and yellow, which were rarer.
18:28And I think rarer because they weren't as popular.
18:31Yeah.
18:32They didn't make as much sense, perhaps, as the pink and the blue.
18:36So if we turn it over, designed by Eric Revelius, Wedgwood, made in England.
18:40But what's more fascinating than that is all the wonderful pictures and letters around the entire circumference of this mug.
18:53He ran out of space, but the clever designer that he was, he put the Y and the Z on the inside.
19:01Now, Revelius was in the Second World War and sadly lost his life.
19:06And the popularity of these pieces has continued to grow.
19:10So if this came up for auction today, it would make somewhere in the region of £300 to £500.
19:17Frikey.
19:18For a mug.
19:19Wow.
19:20Good old Auntie Jean.
19:22LAUGHTER
19:22I am very glad Mum told me not to use it.
19:27I always thought it was just a mug, but it's clearly a very special mug.
19:33It was such a treat to see the Eric Revelius mug.
19:36And I was excited and petrified, really, to tell this lady about something she's owned for so long.
19:43But it was beautiful to help bring it to life.
19:46And for her to tell me her story, which is, you know, what Roadshow is all about.
19:52A lot of people don't like dolls.
20:03They find them sort of rather spooky.
20:04But this, I think, would be the exception to the rule.
20:07What can you tell me about her?
20:09Well, she's been in the family for a few generations.
20:14She's my husband's great-grandmothers.
20:18I was gifted to her by my mother-in-law because I really liked dolls.
20:22And I actually like quirky things.
20:23So I was presumably the first port of call to hand it over.
20:27OK, so she obviously thought that this was quirky enough to warrant being given to you.
20:32Exactly.
20:33I'm not sure exactly who made it, but I can tell you it is German.
20:37Dating from about the 1840s to 1850s.
20:39And it would have been not an inexpensive item at the time.
20:43So it would have been sort of quite an affluent, perhaps middle-class family
20:45that would have purchased it for, you know, for one of their daughters.
20:49She's got a composition head and she's got sort of little painted features
20:53and she's got rosy cheeks.
20:55And I love her sort of, her up-do hairstyle.
20:58And then she's got these really long wooden arms.
21:02From the elbows down, they're wooden.
21:04The bottom part of her legs are wooden with these little painted shoes.
21:07And the rest of her actually is made of cloth.
21:09And what's interesting is that the clothes are period with her.
21:12She's even got undergarments, she's got little petticoats on
21:15and then she's got some bloomers under that as well.
21:18And, you know, it's all those sort of little things, really,
21:19that really add to her appeal.
21:21But, you know, what's quite remarkable is the condition which it's in
21:25because I've seen a number of them and they're nearly always perhaps missing feet
21:28or they have some damage on them.
21:30So what is it you sort of like about her particularly?
21:32Well, I like dressmaking and things like that.
21:35So obviously I'd like to know the detailing and the dress.
21:37And you've dated her for me, which is lovely.
21:40And I like the little intricate details of the lace.
21:43She's just really different and special.
21:45And the fashion for dolls actually in recent years
21:48has very much sort of fallen out of favour.
21:50They don't make the sort of sums of money that they used to.
21:53But these more kind of naive and early dolls are still very desirable.
21:59And if she were to be at auction,
22:01I could see her quite comfortably making about £300 to £400.
22:05Really?
22:05Yes. I think she's lovely.
22:07Oh, I really love her.
22:09Oh, thank you very much.
22:10I'm going to treasure her.
22:12Yeah, she's beautiful.
22:23Given its reputation as a centre of aviation heritage,
22:27it's little wonder we've been treated to the odd flyover by vintage aircraft,
22:31like a Spitfire.
22:33Part of the most famous aerial battle in history,
22:36the Battle of Britain in 1940.
22:38It saw the Royal Air Force defending the country against large-scale attacks
22:41by the German Luftwaffe, preventing an invasion
22:44and marking a turning point in the Second World War.
22:47Mark Smith saw some mementos from one of the actual pilots.
22:51Today, we've had the sky filled with the sound of the Merlin engine.
22:57We had a Spitfire fly over us.
22:59But during that summer of 1940,
23:01that sound would have been the sound of Spitfires and hurricanes
23:04as they took off in the Battle of Britain.
23:06And if those men, called by Winston Churchill,
23:09the few, hadn't won that battle,
23:11World War II would have been a very different place.
23:14Who was this man?
23:15This man was Duncan Stuart MacDonald,
23:18my father, who fought in the Battle of Britain.
23:21He flew from Tangmere, flying mainly hurricanes.
23:24He flew 81 sorties.
23:27In the battle?
23:28In the battle.
23:28And he shot down three enemy aircraft.
23:32Now, during that summer of 1940,
23:35it was these very, very young men
23:36who went up again and again and again,
23:39sometimes four or five, six times a day,
23:41to stave off the Germans as they came towards us.
23:45And to shoot down enemy aircraft
23:47during that very short period that he was actually flying,
23:50in September and October of that year,
23:52is quite incredible.
23:54So we have a distinguished service order.
23:56We have a distinguished flying cross,
24:00which is dated 1940,
24:02because this was awarded for the Battle of Britain.
24:05We have the 3945 star with that tiny little bar,
24:09the Battle of Britain.
24:10Only 2,500 of those ever issued.
24:14Aircrew Europe, Africa, Italy,
24:17defence and a war with a mention in dispatches.
24:19And I know that after 1940,
24:21he went on to have another distinguished career
24:24as what we call a train buster,
24:26attacking ground troops all across Europe.
24:30We've got these other things.
24:32This thing is called a C-type flying helmet.
24:34It's not from the Battle of Britain.
24:36It's a bit later.
24:37Was that his?
24:37That was his, and the goggles are his as well, yeah.
24:41What was he like?
24:42He was very gregarious, fun,
24:45very good dad, lovely man.
24:48Did he talk about this?
24:49Yes, he talked to me a lot about it
24:51and had some very funny and some very frightening stories.
24:55But in general,
24:56he and his friends from the war
24:58didn't talk about it very much.
25:00Did you know he was a Battle of Britain pilot?
25:02Oh yes, right from the beginning.
25:03I always thought I might become a pilot,
25:05but I didn't have the ability.
25:07In 1969, I went off with my mum and dad to the cinema
25:12and we saw the film The Battle of Britain.
25:14Did he watch it?
25:15Oh yes, he was nearly involved in producing that film.
25:19Oh really?
25:19So we knew all about that.
25:21They had a lot of trouble finding the Spitfires
25:23because there were very few flying them.
25:25I think there were only six in the world.
25:26If this came up on the open market,
25:30it would sell for £40,000.
25:36And I think that actually says
25:38what we mean about people from the Battle of Britain.
25:43Thank you so much for bringing in today
25:45your dad and his medals
25:48and taking us back to the skies of 1940.
25:51Thank you very much.
25:56Thank you for bringing this lovely Japanese woodblock print to us.
26:02We don't see this every day.
26:03It's quite rare find.
26:05What can you tell me about it?
26:07Well, I know very little actually
26:08apart from the fact that it was given to my grandfather
26:10by a lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Navy.
26:15His name was...
26:17Kinjoshi Yamamoto.
26:20A lot of them are reproductions
26:21with a lot brighter colours
26:23and they are very decorative and sought after.
26:25But this, what we see,
26:27is the original of Hiroshige's early work.
26:30If you look at the back of it
26:33and you can see the original piece of paper.
26:36That's when they dried it
26:37and that's the old repair work.
26:40And that paper is the original woodblock print
26:43from the early 19th century.
26:45It's decorated with two ladies
26:47washing a cloth by the river
26:49accompanied by a boy here.
26:51And it's in the mountains
26:52inscribed with nice calligraphy as well.
26:55And the colours obviously faded.
26:58Unfortunately, the edges have been cut down.
27:01So it's going to make an impact on the value.
27:04Unfortunately, it's going to be about £200 to £400.
27:07If it's in original perfect condition,
27:10it's going to be around £2,000 to £4,000.
27:13Well, I'm very pleased that it is genuine.
27:17Yes, it makes it of more interest.
27:18As with many grand houses,
27:25Shuttleworth has enjoyed a lasting association
27:27with the local community.
27:30The son of one of the long-standing tenants of the estate
27:33has brought along an ornate cup to show our silver expert,
27:37Duncan Campbell.
27:38I gather this cup and cover has a very strong association
27:44with Shuttleworth, where we are now, and indeed the RAF.
27:48Perhaps you can explain to me what that connection is.
27:52When I was born in 1946,
27:55Mrs Shuttleworth gave that to me as a christening chalice.
27:58But on the front, it's got an inscription to Richard Shuttleworth.
28:01Yeah, well, it goes back from when the Shuttleworth Trust
28:06used to own all the land between here and Bedford,
28:09and the tenants of the estate gave that to Mrs Shuttleworth
28:12when Richard was born.
28:13And my father, after the war,
28:15ran the aviation side and the cars and the aerodrome Old Warden,
28:20and he had a long career with the Shuttleworth Trust
28:22up until 1966 when he retired.
28:25So Mrs Shuttleworth, having lost her beloved son in action,
28:30gave a christening present that was given to him
28:33to your parents...
28:35That's correct, yeah.
28:35..on your christening.
28:36The silverware itself is a copy of a late 17th-century cup and cover,
28:41which was the height of fashion in 1680.
28:43And when this was made, it was actually presented in 1909,
28:48but the silver hallmark on it is for 1903.
28:53Oh, yeah.
28:53And the maker's mark of the Barnard brothers,
28:56who had a reputation for making very good quality silver
29:00of this sort of type.
29:01In 1903, this type of antique silver was incredibly fashionable.
29:06Everybody wanted it.
29:08It would have been a very expensive gift for the tenant farmers.
29:12In a sale room, it would make somewhere between, say,
29:14£250 and £300.
29:16OK.
29:17Thank you very much.
29:18Quite a nice christening present.
29:20Yeah, thank you.
29:20This is such an important life-saving medal.
29:42It's the Albert Medal.
29:44And it was usually awarded for life-saving at sea.
29:49But this is the first time this medal was awarded for life-saving on land.
29:55Wow.
29:55Oh, I didn't know that.
29:57And what I really like about this medal in particular
29:59is it's actually engraved on the back
30:03with the details of why it was given.
30:06So it says,
30:07presented in the name of Her Majesty to Richard Hopkins,
30:12your ancestor, Collier,
30:13for saving life at the Tina Wythe Colliery, April 1877.
30:20So tell me, how have you come by it?
30:22Well, it's actually a family medal.
30:24We think that the gentleman that was given it
30:27was our grandmother's grandfather.
30:31On the Welsh side of our family, there was a mining disaster.
30:35He worked at the mine at the time.
30:37And with some others,
30:38he helped save some men that were trapped in a flooded mine.
30:43It was a major disaster at the time.
30:45Yes.
30:45Because it killed five people.
30:48One of those was a 13-year-old boy.
30:51My goodness.
30:51And trapped nine others in various small cavities.
30:54And these were little cavities.
30:57It took 18 hours to rescue four of them.
31:01It took nine days to then rescue the remaining five.
31:05Your ancestor was one of four shifts of four men
31:10that were working 24 hours a day.
31:12And these would have been friends, family members,
31:15colleagues that they were rescuing.
31:18That's incredible.
31:19Can you imagine how cramped and claustrophobic it must have been?
31:23With the fear of the water rising.
31:25Absolutely.
31:26A terrible condition.
31:28And the elation when they actually pulled them out.
31:30Yes, yeah.
31:31And this is why Richard was awarded this.
31:34And all the other rescuers were awarded this medal.
31:37Public opinion was so strong
31:38that Queen Victoria decided to award the Albert Medal,
31:44not just for life-saving at sea,
31:45to extend it to life-saving on land.
31:48Right.
31:49And at the same time,
31:51they were awarded this wonderful silver pocket watch.
31:56And they're in beautiful condition, both of them,
31:58so they were obviously absolutely treasured, you can tell.
32:01Yeah.
32:01Have you had these valued before?
32:03No, we haven't.
32:05No.
32:05We haven't had these valued.
32:07And because these were awarded together...
32:10Yeah.
32:10..and when you see them at auction,
32:13they're always sold together.
32:14Yes.
32:14Right.
32:15So a value is between £8,000 and £10,000.
32:20Oh, my goodness.
32:21Oh, wow.
32:21No idea.
32:22You've told his story, so even better.
32:24Yes.
32:24Yes, lovely.
32:25Thanks so much.
32:26Oh, thank you.
32:26Pleasure.
32:27I'm very surprised.
32:32I'm surprised about the story of his bravery.
32:38And how long it lasted.
32:39I knew it was a colliery disaster.
32:42I had no idea how long they were down there
32:44and how hard they worked to get those men out.
32:46To be involved like that, I think it's...
32:49The man was so brave.
32:50I'm so proud that he was in our family.
32:57I've been in this industry now 30, 40 years,
33:04and the thing that always amazes me
33:05is how you watch markets rise and watch markets fall.
33:09Things come in and things go out of fashion.
33:11So it's so wonderful to be stood in front of an object
33:14that it is the hot ticket at the moment,
33:17something that is so on trend and so sought after.
33:19And, of course, we've got a wonderful Whitefriars banjo vase.
33:24But tell me, how did you come to be its owner?
33:27Well, in the mid-'60s to early-'70s,
33:30I worked for a department store in Oxford Street
33:32in the China and Glass Department.
33:35And we used to sell Whitefriars, amongst other things.
33:38But it must have been about the late-'60s
33:41that the Whitefriars factory cleared out a lot of this range.
33:45Wow.
33:45In fact, there was so much of it,
33:47the staff were limited to what they could buy.
33:49Do you remember? How much did you pay?
33:52Well, it was very, very cheap.
33:54It was probably maybe 10 shillings.
33:56It might have been pre-decimal.
33:58Right.
33:58Or a pound or something like that.
34:00Wow.
34:00Yeah, I mean, really, really that sort of era.
34:02What we're looking at, we've mentioned the name Whitefriars,
34:04and, of course, a company and a factory
34:06that has been in existence long before this was bought to market.
34:10But more specifically, let's talk about who the designer is,
34:13and, of course, that is the great Geoffrey Baxter.
34:15Now, Geoffrey Baxter joined Whitefriars in 1954,
34:20and his early work being very smooth, very clean.
34:23But move forward into the-'60s,
34:25and he introduces this range, which is called the textured range.
34:29But they were born out of his imagination,
34:32in the fact that within the moulds,
34:33he would literally put things like screws, nuts and bolts,
34:37copper wire, or even pieces of bark
34:40to give this wonderful textured effect.
34:42Not only have we got the form, we have to determine the colour.
34:45If we take this up to the light,
34:48we can just see that there is a slight blue hue within,
34:51which tells me that this is indigo.
34:54Now, it falls very closely to other colours,
34:57such as pewter and willow,
34:58and the three are all sort of very close within the spectrum.
35:01But I'm happy to say that this is an indigo one.
35:04When we look at these, and when we look at price,
35:07and, as I say, form first, then colour,
35:09colour, and this market is on fire.
35:14Cos today, this is 2,000 to 3,000.
35:18No.
35:20Oh, my goodness me.
35:25It's so nice to have something that is so much of its era,
35:28so instantly recognisable.
35:30Thank you so much for sharing it,
35:32and letting us tell all about the designer.
35:34Oh, dear.
35:36Oh, wow.
35:37Goodness me.
35:42One area of collecting we're seeing increasingly on the roadshow
35:46is movie memorabilia,
35:48which has rocketed in value,
35:51especially when it relates to the biggest film franchises.
35:56Expert Stephen Lane specialises in this growing market.
36:00Stephen Lane, great to see you from the prop store.
36:01We love it when you come on the programme with your fabulous items
36:05for us to play basic, better, best.
36:07There's, of course, one obvious thing they've all got in common,
36:09which is a Bond theme.
36:11You're absolutely right.
36:11So talk us through them.
36:12What are we looking at?
36:13So what we have is three different items
36:15from three different Bond films starring three different James Bonds.
36:18And the James Bond films have become a global phenomenon.
36:2227 films in total,
36:24starting in 1962 when Sean Connery first appeared as the character James Bond,
36:28right then through to 2021,
36:30the last film that we saw Daniel Craig star in.
36:33This is from Moonraker,
36:341979, starring Roger Moore as James Bond.
36:37And this is a model miniature Space Ranger.
36:42So these were used for some of the distance shots,
36:45the special effects shots during the film.
36:47Obviously, it's modelled on a full-size costume.
36:49It was a costume that was worn by an actor
36:51and they built these in different scales.
36:53This is a 1 to 6 scale.
36:54And this was crafted by Derek Meddings and his team,
36:57who was obviously famous for his work on Thunderbirds,
37:00Superman and many, many other films.
37:02And they're rare.
37:02They're really hard to find,
37:04very hard to come by,
37:05very, very desirable by collectors.
37:07And this sort of encapsulates everything.
37:09It does it all in one shot.
37:10Walter PKK?
37:11Walter PPK.
37:12Oh, I know.
37:13So close.
37:14Yeah, absolutely.
37:15So this is Goldeneye,
37:16moving on to 1995,
37:18where we have Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.
37:21The Walter PPK was Bond's weapon of choice,
37:24actually, from the inception of the films,
37:26right the way through to Tomorrow Never Dies,
37:28where they changed to a P99,
37:30but actually rotated back to a PPK in Quantum of Solace
37:33and right the way through to the end of the series
37:34that we know of so far.
37:35Now, let's talk about my favourite.
37:38I mean, this sumptuous dress.
37:40And also, this is minuscule, isn't it?
37:43It is.
37:44And what film is this from?
37:45And this is from Casino Royale, 2006,
37:48with Daniel Craig as James Bond.
37:50Designed, custom-made by Roberto Cavalli
37:53for Eva Green for the film.
37:56And I think this has the Bond wow factor as well.
37:58It really is.
38:00Don't we think, ladies?
38:01Well, chaps as well, I'm sure.
38:03I mean, that is fabulous.
38:05So, this is basic better best.
38:08So, we're talking...
38:09There are three different values,
38:10and we need to work out from the lowest to the highest.
38:13What are the three values we're talking about?
38:1420,000, 40,000, and 100,000.
38:19Oof.
38:21OK, I've got my theories.
38:23I've got my theories.
38:24What about you with your lovely dog?
38:26What do you think?
38:27What do you think?
38:28Yes, hello.
38:29The gun being the lowest one.
38:33The lowest, OK.
38:35And the dress being next,
38:38and then the Moonraker figure the highest.
38:42Oh, I don't know.
38:44Do you agree with us?
38:46Dress basic.
38:48What's harsh?
38:50It's beautiful, but basic.
38:54Moonraker better gun best, maybe.
38:57Gun best.
38:57Does anyone think the dress is the best out of interest?
39:00Oh, yes.
39:01Here we are at the back.
39:03So, we think the dress is the best,
39:07the gun basic,
39:09and the astronaut figure is in the middle.
39:12Right, OK.
39:14And I love the fact that you talk in unison.
39:16That gives it extra value.
39:18OK.
39:20I mean, I love this the best.
39:21There's no question about that.
39:24I would have thought the gun.
39:25I mean, when you think about the opening sequence of Bond,
39:28and you see him through the barrel of the gun,
39:31and he turns, and he points.
39:32I mean, that is the thing that you so associate with Bond.
39:35OK, I'm going to say this is the best.
39:37That's my starting point.
39:39OK, I'm massively swayed by how much I like this dress.
39:42So, I'm going to say basic,
39:43better,
39:46best.
39:50Controversial.
39:51Yeah.
39:53Right, what do you say?
39:55You got me again.
39:56Oh, yes.
39:59I've got to work harder at this.
40:00Oh, that's great.
40:03Well done.
40:04Right, well,
40:05was my methodology right,
40:07in terms of...
40:08Yeah, I mean,
40:09I think you're right.
40:10I mean, ultimately,
40:12something like this is highly desirable,
40:14but perhaps it has a ceiling,
40:15because it's more of a background item
40:17than it is going to be a main,
40:18sort of,
40:19close-up,
40:19principle piece.
40:20I think the dress is wonderful,
40:22but ultimately,
40:23as I said earlier,
40:24you are talking about
40:25the most famous movie weapon in the world,
40:27and this is the hero one,
40:28and it's...
40:29The Pierce Brosnan Goldeneye film
40:30has a lot of love as well.
40:32It was a reboot for the franchise,
40:33and, yeah,
40:34I mean,
40:35you nailed it.
40:36What was it?
40:3620,000.
40:3720,000?
40:3840,000?
40:40100,000.
40:41100,000.
40:42Well,
40:43I love the Bond movies,
40:44and Casino Royale,
40:45as I said,
40:46was my favourite,
40:47so what a treat to see these.
40:48Thank you so much, Stephen.
40:49It's been a pleasure.
40:50Oh!
40:58So you bought it where?
41:09At a toy show.
41:10Well,
41:10it was in a job lot,
41:11in a box,
41:12in front of the stall.
41:13There was trains,
41:14and die-cast cars,
41:15and I just fished out,
41:17thought,
41:17that looks very interesting.
41:18Well done you.
41:19And the chap that was selling it said,
41:22it doesn't work,
41:23you know,
41:23so I said,
41:23OK,
41:24but it seems an interesting article.
41:26So he said,
41:26I've got the key for it,
41:27but I tried to wind it,
41:29but it didn't wind.
41:30Right.
41:30So I thought,
41:31OK.
41:32So I said,
41:32how much would you like me to pay for it?
41:35So he said,
41:35well,
41:36I want about 50 pounds for it.
41:38I painstakingly took it apart,
41:40and there's a clockwork spring in there,
41:43and I managed to heat it up with a blow lamp,
41:46and remake the spring,
41:48and then painstakingly put it all back together again.
41:50And I have to go underneath the tail,
41:52because that's where it is.
41:53Yeah.
41:54So excuse me,
41:55cat.
42:02That's brilliant.
42:02Well done,
42:03you.
42:03Have you done that before?
42:04Not to a cat.
42:05Not to a cat,
42:06no,
42:06no.
42:08Rue de Caen in Paris
42:10started making all these different things.
42:13Some of them are musical,
42:14and mainly for grown-ups to entertain
42:18when they had a dinner party
42:19or people staying or whatever.
42:21It wasn't for children at all.
42:23It's rabbit fur.
42:24It is.
42:25On a cat.
42:26They used rabbit fur a lot
42:27when they were making automata,
42:30particularly animals.
42:31So,
42:32talking about 1920,
42:331930,
42:34they paid 50 pounds.
42:36I mean,
42:36I'm going to be
42:37outrageous
42:38and put 600 to 800 on it.
42:40Really?
42:41Right.
42:42It's lovely.
42:42Because everybody wants an automaton.
42:45I just think it's absolutely hilarious
42:47and I'm going to make it work again.
42:54Very good he's not jumping off the table.
42:56Yes,
42:56very well behaved.
42:57Well,
43:11here at Shuttleworth,
43:12I suppose people know it mostly
43:14for the amazing aircraft museum,
43:16which is over in that direction.
43:18And one of the prizes within that museum
43:22is an aeroplane called the Blerio 11.
43:26And it's the oldest airworthy aeroplane in the world.
43:31And the model we're looking at here is a Model 11.
43:35It's based on that very first channel crossing
43:38by a motorised machine in 1909.
43:42So, look,
43:43you're obviously a bit of a Blerio fan.
43:45Because you built it,
43:46didn't you?
43:47Yeah,
43:47I built it.
43:48It took nearly three years.
43:49I built it on an absolute whim.
43:51I had a pair of wheels.
43:52I thought,
43:52what can I do with these wheels?
43:54I need an aeroplane to go with the wheels.
43:56So,
43:56I built an aeroplane to go with the wheels.
43:57Let's just explain
43:58what is so special about the channel crossing aeroplane.
44:02I mean,
44:02it had never been done.
44:04The Daily Mail,
44:05the newspaper,
44:06offered a £1,000 prize.
44:08Lord Northcliffe,
44:09I think,
44:09was it?
44:09Yeah,
44:09that's,
44:10yeah.
44:10For a motorised crossing.
44:11Because,
44:12of course,
44:12balloon crossings had been happening
44:13since the 18th century.
44:15So,
44:15on the morning of
44:17the 25th of July,
44:181909,
44:20half past four in the morning.
44:21That's right,
44:21yeah.
44:22Off he set.
44:23The only gap in the weather to do it.
44:25And 30 minutes odd later,
44:27Yeah.
44:27He saw the flag over France
44:30and he knew that he'd done it.
44:31Mr Fontaine,
44:31I believe he was called,
44:32waving the flag in the field.
44:34And here we've got
44:35everything we need
44:37about that day.
44:38You talk me through it.
44:39I can tell that's taken before the flight.
44:42This is the landing
44:43with the flag,
44:44with Mr Fontaine and the flag.
44:45I mainly acquired the postcards
44:48so I could get the dimensions
44:50to build it.
44:51That's why I started collecting them.
44:53But then it became,
44:55you know,
44:55you ended up with
44:55all the other memorabilia
44:57which went with it.
44:58And let's just talk about
44:59the other memorabilia
45:00because you do have some,
45:01a cracking object here.
45:04It's a dinner
45:04for Monsieur Bleriot
45:06in Piccadilly
45:07and it's dated
45:09July the 26th, 1909,
45:11the day after
45:12The day after
45:13when he went to London.
45:13After the achievement.
45:14Yeah, yeah.
45:15And it is signed.
45:16It's signed not only by Bleriot
45:18but who else?
45:19I think the first signature
45:20is Alice Bleriot
45:21which is Louis Bleriot's wife.
45:22Yes.
45:23There's Louis Bleriot,
45:24there's a Mr Fournier
45:26and there's got
45:27Mr Alfred LeBlanc
45:29another very famous
45:30French aviator
45:31who were all kind of
45:32part of Bleriot's
45:34inner circle.
45:35Yeah, yeah.
45:35So you have that
45:36but then what I think
45:38is wonderful
45:39is tell me what happened
45:40on July the 25th, 2009.
45:42When I attended
45:43the centenary celebrations
45:44at Dover
45:45they flew a Bleriot over
45:47and there was
45:48Louis Bleriot's grandson
45:50who was also called
45:51Louis Bleriot
45:52was there
45:53and he saw the model
45:55and luckily
45:56he signed
45:56an autograph.
45:57A hundred years
45:59between the signatures.
46:00Isn't that great?
46:02Okay, we're about values.
46:04I'm not going to value that
46:05it is priceless
46:06but I am going to value
46:07that
46:08which I think
46:08is an absolutely
46:09fabulous piece of
46:11memorabilia.
46:11I've never seen another one.
46:12Never seen another one.
46:14I'm going to put that
46:15at between
46:15£500 and £800.
46:17I think it's
46:18absolutely spectacular.
46:20Wow.
46:21We love people
46:22who are passionate
46:22about their subjects
46:23and I think
46:24you know
46:25today
46:25in this setting
46:27we couldn't have asked
46:28for a more
46:28enthusiastic enthusiast
46:30so thanks so much
46:31for bringing them all in.
46:32Brilliant.
46:33Thank you very much
46:34and thank you.
46:46What have you got sir?
46:47I have
46:48a set of aeroplanes
46:50that were made
46:50by my great uncle
46:51while he was fire watching
46:53at Rolls-Royce
46:54in Derby during the war.
46:55Really?
46:56What are they made of?
46:57Balsa wood.
46:58They are
46:59just
47:00amazing.
47:02So how do you put
47:03a price on those
47:03do you think?
47:04Well that's
47:05an interesting one
47:05isn't it?
47:06I don't know
47:07I reckon someone would
47:08buy a
47:08£150 for that.
47:10You're right?
47:11I reckon so.
47:11Well thank you.
47:12Only because they're
47:12just so fantastic.
47:13Excellent.
47:14Thanks very much
47:15for bringing those in.
47:17Can I have a look
47:21as much as you've got
47:22in your hand?
47:22Yes.
47:23Ah.
47:24A Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
47:25Yeah.
47:25Oh wow.
47:27Where did you get it from?
47:28It was my father's.
47:29He did little collections
47:30he bought odd things
47:31if he sold them
47:32and he bought that as well.
47:34Well it's obviously
47:35it's made by Corgi Toys
47:36and it's a model
47:37of the car
47:38from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
47:39the flying car
47:40and it has a little lever
47:41on the side
47:42but when you pull it
47:43the wings fly
47:44and you flip out
47:44of the side
47:45and so often
47:46with these
47:47is that the little
47:48figures have gone
47:48missing on it.
47:49This is complete
47:50and what's even better
47:51obviously since
47:51original packaging
47:52so I would afford
47:54perhaps 70 to 100 pounds
47:56something like that.
47:57Thanks over so much.
47:58Thank you very much.
47:59Cheers.
47:59So judging by what we have here
48:12it looks like I picked
48:13the right jacket
48:13out of my wardrobe
48:14this morning
48:15what we have
48:16is a section
48:16of a rowing boat
48:18and it's been turned
48:19into an umbrella stand.
48:21Very British umbrellas
48:22we're obsessed with the weather
48:23but we're also obsessed
48:24with rowing
48:25Henley
48:25Cambridge
48:26and I see
48:27Corpus Christi on here
48:28so this must have been
48:28Cambridge boat.
48:30Why?
48:31We bought it
48:32from an auction
48:32and I firstly
48:35wanted some sofas
48:36at this auction
48:37then John started
48:39to look at the auction.
48:39I saw it in the corner
48:40saw the picture
48:41which didn't do any justice
48:43and I just thought
48:45it was brilliant
48:45and I said
48:46we've got a space
48:47in the hall for it.
48:48So you wanted the sofas
48:49you wanted the
48:50rowing boat
48:52umbrella stand
48:53so everyone is happy
48:55so I guess
48:55therefore you have
48:56a passion for rowing?
48:58No, I like swimming
48:59which you probably do
49:00a lot of in that boat
49:01falling out of it
49:01all the time.
49:02I like things
49:03that I think are well made
49:04I'm not an expert
49:05in any manner of means
49:06but somebody took
49:07a lot of trouble
49:07with this.
49:08You can literally
49:08see the workmanship
49:09in it and I just
49:10appreciated it
49:11from the word go really.
49:12Yeah and it is beautiful
49:13plus it serves as a purpose.
49:15Indeed so.
49:16Yeah.
49:16Well absolutely
49:16I mean the craftsmanship
49:17is fantastic.
49:18You can see all of
49:19the little holes
49:20have been plugged
49:20they've all been
49:21sort of pulled together
49:22and cut in the most
49:23wonderful manner.
49:24They often use red cedar
49:26for the exteriors
49:27lightweight, hard
49:29good sort of wood
49:30to be using for that
49:31and you've got
49:32mahogany additions
49:32on here too.
49:34Now when you see these
49:35you often find them
49:37and so I mentioned
49:37the wood
49:38in sort of a much darker
49:39almost sort of
49:40mahogany type wood.
49:42They've never seen water.
49:44Oh I see.
49:44So it's these things
49:45produced for the sort
49:46of retro market
49:47but this one to me
49:49looks like it actually
49:50is the aft section
49:52of a boat.
49:53So we've got
49:53Corpus Christi
49:54and Lent Boat 1925.
49:56So I think
49:57Cambridge they have
49:58the bumps.
49:59So the bumps
49:59effectively are so known
50:01because the cam
50:02is quite windy
50:03and narrow.
50:03Oh right.
50:04So you can't do
50:05side by side racing.
50:06So they had to
50:07sort of effectively bump.
50:08Oh right okay.
50:09We wondered what that was
50:09didn't we?
50:10Now you got your sofas
50:11and you say you got this
50:12for a good price.
50:13Can I ask what
50:14that good price is?
50:15Without fees
50:15it was £260.
50:17I think we can bump
50:18that up a little bit.
50:19Good.
50:19Good.
50:20So I'm going to say
50:20£600, £800
50:21maybe even £1,000.
50:23Oh well done.
50:23Thank you very much.
50:24That's good.
50:25Yeah.
50:25Yeah.
50:25I'll let you buy
50:26something else again.
50:27So what would the
50:27whole boat be worth?
50:29If you could find it.
50:38Shuttleworth celebrates
50:39daring feats in the air
50:41at the turn of the
50:4220th century but at the
50:43same time explorers were
50:45charting new territory on
50:46land and over the years
50:48our experts have seen
50:49many artefacts relating
50:50to Arctic and Antarctic
50:52adventure.
50:54One of the most
50:54remarkable explorers was
50:56Ernest Shackleton who
50:57made four expeditions to
50:58the Antarctic.
51:00Book's expert Matthew
51:01Haley's discovered two
51:02hefty tomes documenting an
51:04early quest.
51:05This is the account of
51:09Ernest Shackleton's
51:091907-1909 expedition
51:11in two volumes
51:12and it's called
51:13The Heart of the
51:14Antarctic.
51:15And obviously Shackleton
51:15became famous later on
51:17with the Endurance
51:18where it got trapped
51:18in the ice
51:19and then they had to
51:20sail off to South
51:21Georgia to get
51:22rescued.
51:23It's really one of the
51:24stories of the heroic
51:25age of Antarctic
51:26exploration.
51:27Have you read it?
51:28You know what?
51:29I haven't and that's
51:30probably more so because
51:31of I think for me
51:32how fragile it is.
51:35And how did you come
51:36to have these books?
51:37It's been passed down
51:38through the family.
51:39I came to my dad in
51:41the early part of last
51:42year when my gran
51:43passed away.
51:44There wasn't much
51:45named in the will but
51:46these books in particular
51:47were named.
51:48Actually we were talking
51:49about it on the way
51:49here today that if the
51:51house burnt down this
51:52was the thing to get
51:53out and it was kind of
51:54like but why?
51:56We knew a bit about
51:57it but didn't really
52:00have the context as to
52:00why it was so
52:01important.
52:01Well it is very
52:03important and it's
52:04actually because it
52:05bears an inscription
52:06from Ernest Shackleton
52:07to Dee McKenzie with
52:09the author's compliments
52:10in remembrance of
52:11certain help a short
52:12time ago.
52:13Ernest Shackleton
52:131914.
52:15What's this all about?
52:16Mr McKenzie was my
52:18great great grandfather.
52:20He moved from
52:22Inverness down to
52:23Peterborough and was
52:24the station master
52:25there for a little
52:27over 20 years.
52:28What we do know is
52:29that they certainly
52:30came to contact with
52:31each other, worked
52:32together as a thanks.
52:34He left these books
52:35and signed them.
52:36Well Ernest Shackleton's
52:38first editions are
52:39inevitably somewhat rare.
52:41Actually Heart of the
52:41Antarctic there was a
52:42limited edition done that
52:43was signed by various
52:44people including Shackleton.
52:46This is the main edition
52:47as it were not the
52:48limited edition but it's
52:50very special to have the
52:51inscription so that makes
52:52it one of a relatively
52:53small number of copies
52:54with a personal dedication.
52:58And I think if it were
52:59to go into auction I
53:00would expect it to make
53:01something between two
53:02and four thousand pounds.
53:06Wow.
53:07That's more than I was
53:08expecting.
53:10Probably explains why
53:11we're meant to get, if the
53:12house burns down why we're
53:13meant to run that out first.
53:14It's probably the thing to
53:15rescue from the house.
53:17It's amazing.
53:18I'm so glad to have seen it.
53:19That's incredible.
53:20That's amazing.
53:20Thank you so much.
53:21Thanks.
53:30This is a sublimely
53:32beautiful diamond necklace
53:34and here it is with you
53:36but everybody wants to know
53:37what it has to do with you.
53:39So I was given it by my
53:41grandma to wear on my
53:42wedding day.
53:43It was actually passed down
53:44from my father's side and
53:46he was actually from Mumbai
53:48and it was very sentimental
53:49for me to wear on the
53:50actual day because my
53:51father sadly passed away
53:53when I was nine years old
53:54so she gave it to me to
53:55wear on my day to remember
53:57him.
53:57It's a very beautiful,
53:59superbly articulated thing
54:01and very flattering actually
54:02and we can pick it up and
54:04see that immediately.
54:05It's very slinky-malinky.
54:07It moves beautifully on the
54:09hand like that and of course
54:10it moves beautifully on the
54:12neck.
54:13But when I first saw this I
54:14was slightly thrown off
54:15because the quality of the
54:16diamonds is absolutely
54:17marvellous.
54:18And when they are marvellous
54:20like that makes my job
54:21quite difficult because I'm
54:22looking for flaws and
54:23fissures and this, that and
54:24the other to tell me that
54:26they are in fact diamonds.
54:27So it took a little while to
54:28establish that they are.
54:30Okay.
54:31And these baguette diamonds,
54:33these brilliant diamonds, are
54:35set in white gold and every
54:37setting is pierced by hand.
54:40And these are miraculous
54:42objects because they are made
54:44by hand but there doesn't seem
54:46to be any obvious sign of human
54:47activity at all because the
54:49craftsmanship is so superb.
54:52The thing about diamonds, the
54:53great mystery of them, is that
54:54they're the hardest material
54:55known to man.
54:56There is nothing that can come
54:58near them.
54:58The second hardest is the
55:00sapphire but they also have a
55:02scintillation to them, a
55:03return of light, a refraction
55:05of light.
55:06And that's what people
55:07associate with them but only
55:09diamonds can do this.
55:11When we see a piece of
55:12jewellery there's lots of
55:13design features that help us
55:15date these things and this is
55:17definitely a 20th century
55:18thing and I'm going to go for
55:21the 1960s, something like
55:22that.
55:23It's quite difficult to do it in
55:25the absence of hallmarks but
55:27there is a sort of handwriting of
55:29jewellery and a design form
55:30that helps me to tell those
55:33things.
55:34And so this is a very
55:35covetable object, a very
55:36desirable object.
55:37Everybody would want to wear
55:38this one and so I'm going to
55:40go a little bit raving mad and
55:42tell you that it's worth
55:45£25,000.
55:46Wow, shock!
55:52Definitely.
55:53Brilliant.
55:54Amazing, amazing.
55:56But obviously the sentimental value
55:58is kind of a lot more.
55:59Beyond that.
56:00It is definitely.
56:01Completely beyond that.
56:02Thank you very much for
56:03bringing it.
56:05My grandma definitely said that
56:07it was kind of like real so
56:09but there's so many diamonds on
56:12it, I must admit I did question
56:13myself that it was actually
56:15real.
56:16You do miss your father when
56:17you're getting married and
56:19walking down the aisles so
56:20having that piece of him there
56:22that I've known that he's been
56:23part of his family for kind of a
56:25long time was really, really
56:27special.
56:27It's the end of our day here at
56:37Shuttleworth House but before we
56:38go I want to share this little
56:40beauty with you.
56:41Now you've heard of Cornish
56:42pasty, Yorkshire pudding,
56:44Bakewell tart.
56:45What about a Bedfisher
56:47clanger?
56:49Now, here it is.
56:50It's a kind of traditional
56:51suet pastry.
56:54It was made the night before for
56:55agricultural workers to take out
56:57in the fields the following
56:58day but the great thing about
57:00this, and this is a top idea,
57:02is it's savoury at one end and
57:04sweet at the other.
57:06Now, I'd never heard of these
57:06before but you have heard of
57:07these, haven't you?
57:08They sound great.
57:11From the Antiques
57:12Throw Show here at Shuttleworth.
57:14Bye-bye.
57:21Heel-toe, here we go.
