00:10Welcome to What's in the Box.
00:13In Jean's box of old things are jewellery, a pocket watch, picture frames.
00:18And they got the real deal.
00:21Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
00:45Hello and welcome to the show. I'm David Dickinson, the Duke.
00:49And this, of course, is the real deal.
00:52Now, today, the show comes to you from the Albert Hall in Nottingham.
00:58Coming up...
01:01It's all aboard the Cash Express.
01:04Three grand.
01:05£1,300.
01:07£8.50.
01:09Calling out.
01:10Nowhere near.
01:11Am I a million miles away?
01:13Quite a bit away.
01:14Am I?
01:15Meanyville.
01:16What do you think about that? You don't.
01:18No, I don't think anything of that.
01:20Tight town.
01:22I think you can go a little bit further.
01:24And finally...
01:259.5!
01:26Come on, James!
01:28Dreamland.
01:29£10,000!
01:30Yes!
01:32Let's get it on.
01:33Let's do the real deal.
01:39So then, dealers, here we are in the beautiful city of Nottingham, famous for Robin Hood.
01:45Let's hope one of his merry men turn up here and bring some good stuff in for me.
01:49Fingers crossed, do.
01:50Alison, have you been to Nottingham before?
01:53Of course I've been to Nottingham. In fact, I like to think of myself rather like Maid Marian.
01:59Nottingham is a great city. Can't recommend it enough. And I'm really looking forward to hopefully having a brilliantly busy
02:05day.
02:05Let's hope.
02:07How are you finding Nottingham jam?
02:09I won't mention going wrong twice with the sat-nav. Are you filming?
02:12Of course.
02:14I've got ears as well.
02:15Just wondered what your thoughts are on the place.
02:17It's obviously a big city. Have to be careful not to go in the bus lanes.
02:21You've obviously had a long journey. Get yourself sorted and we'll crack on.
02:26Rebecca.
02:26Rebecca. Pleased to meet you, Rebecca.
02:27And you.
02:27My name's Stuart. Stuart Hoffdartner.
02:29What have you brought the hop then, Rebecca?
02:31I've brought some Whitefriars, Lead Crystal, whiskey glasses.
02:36Whitefriars is a very strong market at the moment. Always worth looking at twice.
02:40I'm hoping I'll get at least £70 for them.
02:45They've brought along six whiskey tumblers by the well-known Whitefriars.
02:50Yes, let's have.
02:51Can I ask you how you came by them and what more do you know about them?
02:55They were a gift for my mother, but she never used them and they came to me.
03:00I take them out and look at them and then I think, well, they can't go around the dishwasher.
03:05And so, yes, they've never actually been used.
03:08And the box is not bad condition either.
03:09No, it's not too bad.
03:11And the reason they're in good condition is because they've been in the box, of course.
03:14And one label I understand is on this one here.
03:18Whitefriars, full of Lead Crystal, made in England.
03:21These would be 60s, 70s?
03:24Late 60s, I believe.
03:25Late 60s, okay.
03:26So, Whitefriars, well-known company actually, producing glass, London Address.
03:32Still very sought after, even though they're closed in the 1980s.
03:35They're very fashionable at the moment and I think they're great to handle.
03:42I'm not a whiskey drinker, but I can see someone getting hold of that and putting whiskey in it.
03:46Nice gin and tonic as well.
03:47Oh, gin and tonic even, yes, yes.
03:49I mean, it is the really colourful, unusual designs that really cause a stir.
03:53But they're lovely in the box.
03:56I mean, you can't get away from that.
03:58And you're selling them today because?
04:01Downsizing and we just have to declutter.
04:05Declutter, right, okay.
04:06Let's get some money out and see if I can buy them.
04:1220, 40, 60, 80, 100 pounds.
04:26It's food for thought.
04:28Good.
04:29And it's tempting.
04:31Could I squeeze a tiny bit more out of you?
04:35I'll do another 20 and 120 pounds.
04:39How do you think?
04:40Yes, that's fine.
04:41You happy with that?
04:42I am, yes.
04:43We do.
04:45Well, that was an easy start, wasn't it?
04:47The deal was great.
04:49Rebecca was greater and the tumblers were almost as great.
04:53And I own them now, so that's great.
04:55Everyone feels just great.
04:57I was hoping for about 70 pounds just over and I came away with 120.
05:03You could say that's the real deal.
05:05I think it probably was.
05:09Not all that glitters is gold.
05:12That's a cross-geam jewellery.
05:13And not every rock is a gem.
05:15I don't think they're diamonds.
05:17I think that's cubic draconian.
05:18That's why we leave no stone unturned.
05:21A lot of searching for hallmarks and hearing through a magnifier.
05:24To make sure nothing slips through.
05:27You know we're like that, don't you?
05:29Henry.
05:29Yeah.
05:30I've got a nice little selection of various gold items, which of course I'm really going
05:36to try and buy.
05:37Which is a lovely surprise for Sadia.
05:39I had some broken necklace and broach or something and I thought, oh, I'm coming here with the
05:46other items and take these along as well before I ditch them, basically.
05:50Ditch them?
05:51Surely not.
05:53What did you think when you found out they had value?
05:56Well, shocked and surprised.
05:58So, how much do you want for it now you know?
06:01I don't know.
06:02I haven't even thought about it.
06:06Sadia, nice to meet you.
06:08Same here.
06:09You've brought me in a mixture of little bits of jewellery.
06:13What's the history of it?
06:14To start with, I didn't know they were jewellery.
06:16I thought they were broken bits I had for some time.
06:20Right.
06:20But some time ago, I did show them to somebody.
06:24They said they were costumed.
06:25Okay.
06:26And not even gold?
06:27Correct.
06:28Well, you do have a little selection here of mainly gold jewellery.
06:33There's one piece of costume jewellery, which is this one in the red box.
06:37Okay.
06:38Yeah.
06:38To me, I thought everything was costume.
06:40Yeah.
06:41We've got a selection of carats of gold here.
06:43We've got 9 carat, 18 carat, 14 carat.
06:46You've got some costume pearls on there, but there are a couple of strings that are
06:50actually cultured pearls.
06:52Then we've got this little 18 carat gold diamond and sapphire studded butterfly brooch.
06:59I'd estimate the carat weight of the diamonds to be about a carat in total.
07:04However, just because it's a carat's worth of diamonds doesn't mean to say it's the same
07:09price as a single carat stone.
07:11Yes.
07:12My favourite thing on the table is this.
07:15Oh, right.
07:16And this is a little 9 carat gold toothpick.
07:20Correct.
07:20And I love it.
07:21And it slides in and slides out.
07:23Yep.
07:23And I was going to ditch it.
07:25So, it's a mishmash.
07:27Yes.
07:27An absolute mishmash.
07:28Okay.
07:29Let me get some money out.
07:30Um, and we'll see if we can do something.
07:34Brilliant.
07:35Right.
07:3650.
07:381.
07:3950.
07:412.
07:4350.
07:443.
07:4650.
07:484.
07:4950.
07:51500.
07:53Not a bad start.
07:54I don't really know.
07:551,600.
07:5750.
07:59700.
08:0150.
08:02800.
08:0550.
08:06900.
08:0950.
08:111,000.
08:13Okay.
08:14How does that seem to you to start with?
08:17I don't know.
08:18Okay.
08:19Well, let me go a little bit more.
08:21Okay.
08:231,100.
08:271,200.
08:321,300 pounds.
08:36Because I had no expectations, I don't know.
08:38I've done no research, no homework, nothing whatsoever.
08:43Shall we see what David's got to say?
08:44Of course.
08:45Yes.
08:45Well, over to David.
08:49Well, I'm smiling, and I'll tell you why I'm smiling.
08:51I saw this coming in, and I saw our specialists going over it.
08:57As far as I could see, it was costume jewellery.
09:00Even this exotic-looking jewel is costume.
09:04It is.
09:05But amongst that costume, there is some gold value.
09:11Let me tell you, the all-round estimate was about 1,000 to 1,500 pounds, and I can see
09:18you've
09:18got about 1,300 pounds here.
09:20I have, indeed.
09:21That is a terrific deal.
09:23And there's still perhaps 100 pounds or a bit more in money, but they're entitled to that.
09:27Correct.
09:28Thank you, David.
09:29So, have we got a deal?
09:30We have got a deal.
09:31Thank you very much, indeed.
09:32Lovely to meet you.
09:33Nice to meet you, too, Henry.
09:34And to think it was going in the bin.
09:37Great deal.
09:38Oh, definitely.
09:39It's more than a real deal, because I expected nothing.
09:42And it's not often we see the Duke shocked.
09:45When it came into the show, it just appeared to be a few bits of costume jewellery.
09:52I glanced and didn't give it a second look.
09:55It's quite amazing.
09:56You can miss it unless you look closely.
10:01After the break, Jan and Alison may have the cash to flash, but not everyone is impressed.
10:09800.
10:10No.
10:12I'm collecting a little bit more.
10:141,800.
10:16Oh, really?
10:17I'm that far away.
10:19Yeah, I'm sorry.
10:20Three words.
10:21Must try harder.
10:27Let's see how they've done.
10:29Gold jewellery.
10:31Own toys.
10:33Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Girl.
10:38Let's see how they've done.
10:40Gold jewellery.
10:41All toys.
10:44Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Girl.
10:51Welcome back to Dickinson's Real Deal from the Albert Hall in Nottingham.
10:56There must be something in the air today.
11:00Everyone's gone a bit giddy.
11:06Alison more than most.
11:08I like the woo-woo and the puff-puff.
11:11Can we get the St John's guys on standby?
11:16I'm a bit worried about Miss Chapman.
11:18Sorry, I think I must be tired.
11:20There'll be a lot of cash going on the table for this slot.
11:23That was all a bit odd.
11:25That was all a bit odd.
11:26But we seem to be back on track, Alex.
11:28Today I've bought two presentation boxes of railway coins.
11:32Nice.
11:33How much do you want?
11:34Roughly about £800.
11:36A holiday would be nice in Greece next year.
11:38Woo-woo!
11:40Woo-woo!
11:42So tell me, who in your house was the railway enthusiast?
11:48So years ago, my dad was a fireman on the railway.
11:52Right.
11:52I found these coins when he passed away.
11:55But I didn't realise he collected them.
11:57Well, they're advertised in usually railway magazines and that sort of thing.
12:04And these being silver, of course, do, particularly with today's silver prices, have a good value.
12:12Oh, OK.
12:13Have you actually looked at them?
12:15They're all different railways, all different engines.
12:18And amongst all of this wonderful glittering silver, you've got a little half-sovereign there.
12:24Their sovereigns have been manufactured since the middle of the 14th century.
12:29OK.
12:30It was good old King Henry VIII with his merry wives that started the coinage.
12:35And it continues to this very day.
12:37And the interesting thing about them is it is still seen as real currency.
12:44OK.
12:45So what will you do with the money?
12:47I've got a holiday booked for next year.
12:49Oh, whereabouts?
12:50Greece.
12:51Oh, I love Greece.
12:52Yeah, Greece.
12:53Well done.
12:53Seeing son.
12:55Perfect.
12:56Let's see if I can't do your dad a bit of justice in his investment.
13:00OK.
13:01So here we go.
13:04100.
13:07200.
13:09300.
13:12400.
13:18500.
13:21600.
13:25700.
13:29800.
13:37Flexing a little bit more.
13:40850.
13:43A little bit more.
13:44I will put down another 20.
13:50One more.
13:51One more.
13:51No.
13:53I'm...
13:54I'm there.
13:56Just a little, little one.
13:58However, I will give a donation of £20.
14:03In respect to your dad for the air ambulance.
14:06Because there is no better charity than the air ambulance.
14:09Yeah, he did use to support them, so they'll be happy with that.
14:12We've got a deal, Alex.
14:13Lovely.
14:15Start packing those bags, Alex.
14:17Certainly going to have a good time in Greece with it.
14:20Cheers, Alison.
14:22Alex, make sure you have an uso on me.
14:25You'll be popping champagne corks if you win our massive competition prize.
14:30Just one lucky person will win it all.
14:33Well, there's £110,000 here.
14:38Can you imagine what you could spend it on?
14:41A home extension, a new car.
14:43Just one person is going to win this prize outright, and it could be you.

14:55,000.

15:23Entrance must be 18 or over.
15:25Lines close Monday, 2nd of February at 10am.
15:29It's a good size, and it's a good shape.
15:31I'm surprised there's any jewellery left in Nottingham.
15:35There's necklaces, there's bracelets, bangles, chains, rings.
15:40And when it comes to gold, you've got to get your calculations spot on.
15:46Were you any good at arithmetic at school?
15:49David, look at me.
15:52Yeah, you know.
15:52The honey with the money, she's good.
15:54And Keith's vast collection is heading to jam.
15:58I'm very excited about this because there's so much of it,
16:01and there's some rings that are really quite meaty,
16:05with sort of meaty diamonds in.
16:07So, yeah, I'm quite excited about this.
16:11Excellent.
16:11Any plans for the cash, Keith?
16:13Depend on how much we get.
16:15Depends on whether it gets spent on garage doors or possibly a holiday.
16:19I know which I'd prefer.
16:24So, tell me all about it, whether it's got any history to it,
16:27and why you've bought it all in today.
16:28They've been handed down through family,
16:30and a couple of items I've bought myself.
16:32Well, they're all nice pieces, you know.
16:35The only things you might scrap are these,
16:37because they're not terribly popular now, pearl studs.
16:41Obviously, all these are viable rings.
16:44That is nice.
16:45That's got an inclusion in it, which actually I'm quite happy to see.
16:49Because it's got a bit of carbon in it,
16:51I'm happier than if it's flawless.
16:53And that one's quite pretty, too.
16:57So, why today to bring it in?
16:59I mean, what will you do with the money if you do sell it to me today?
17:02I've recently moved, so a new garage door would be nice.
17:06All right.
17:07Or perhaps...
17:08They're not cheap.
17:08No, they're not.
17:09No.
17:10Or a breakaway somewhere.
17:13Oh, right, yes.
17:14Tell you.
17:14Yes.
17:15So, we'll start with putting some money down on the table.
17:17Absolutely.
17:18I suppose you've got an idea of what you want.
17:20I may have.
17:20It depends how much money you put on the table.
17:23I don't blame you playing it close to your chest.
17:291,000.
17:34And then...
17:351,100.
17:391,200.
17:431,300.
17:481,400.
17:531,500.
17:55No.
17:56What do you think about that?
17:57You don't?
17:58No, I don't think anything of that.
18:00Right.
18:01Sorry, Jack.
18:01That's all right.
18:021,000.
18:03We've got to be honest with each other.
18:04Absolutely.
18:081,600.
18:121,700.
18:171,800.
18:19Oh, really?
18:20I'm that far away.
18:22Yeah, I'm sorry.
18:23Yeah.
18:24OK.
18:301,900.
18:352,000.
18:37OK.
18:38Unfortunately, it doesn't sound as close as I want it to be.
18:41Right.
18:43What if I put down 2,000?
18:46I'll make it 2,100.
18:511,100.
18:552,200.
18:592,3.
19:002,350.
19:032,4.
19:042,450.
19:062,5.
19:092,5.
19:132,6.
19:142,6.
19:152,6.
19:162,7.
19:172,750.
19:202,8.
19:212,8.
19:222,8.
19:222,9.
19:263,000.
19:28Now you're talking quite a bit of money when somebody goes and bids for that at an auction.
19:33OK.
19:33What do you think, David?
19:34Well, I have to tell you, I have spoke in depth with a couple of our jewellery dealers.
19:39Yeah.
19:40We think the 3 to 4 is a very realistic estimate.
19:44We don't think 3,000 is enough.
19:46No, clearly.
19:48I'll go on a bit further.
19:51I think it's worth more.
19:53Have you got a number in mind?
19:55Yeah.
19:56I do.
19:57Yeah.
19:57But I'll keep that to myself.
19:59You can always say no.
20:00I'll make it 3,8 and I think I've been pretty fair.
20:05I accept your offer.
20:07Deal?
20:08Deal.
20:08I think it's not a bad deal to strike.
20:11OK.
20:12So, we have a deal.
20:13It's close enough to what I was looking for, so yes.
20:17Thoughts, Keith?
20:18That's quite a lot.
20:19Thank you very much.
20:21Thank you, Jan.
20:22Go on.
20:22Give it a wave.
20:23I really like that.
20:24Give it a wave.
20:25That's it.
20:26Really?
20:28Hopefully I'll get out with a profit.
20:30Who knows?
20:31I'm sure you'll let us know, Jan.
20:36Coming up, a sinister collection.
20:39These, of course, are letters from infamous gangland figures.
20:44With an unusual ending.
20:46The money is going to go towards a funeral plot.
20:50And a delighted duke.
20:52You've been a very nice girl today, haven't you?
20:54You've bought very nice things.
20:56You've given a very good prize.
20:58He's full of praise.
21:00She's been a very good girl today.
21:02I want to give her a little bit of a treat.
21:07Let's see how they've done.
21:09Gold jewelry.
21:10Old toys.

21:24Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Girl.
21:31Welcome back to Dickinson's Real Deal.
21:34Do you want to come along to the show and sell your goods?
21:37I've got the money.
21:38Bring along small items of value you can carry.
21:42Lovely, jubilee.
21:43Don't miss out.
21:44I'll be waiting for you.
21:47Bring your valuables to our next dealer day on Saturday 17th January at the Swindon Steam Museum.
21:53Doors open from 8am to 5pm.
21:56Details of all our upcoming dealer days can be found at itv.com slash beyondtv.
22:05Are we smiling?
22:07The good people of Nottingham are really spoiling us today.
22:11They're well worth the calories, thank you very much.
22:14All right, no problem.
22:15Let me feed you.
22:17All we need now is a nice brew.
22:19Mmm.
22:21Chris, do you fancy a copper?
22:23I've got one, thank you, on there.
22:26Unless it's a double whiskey and lemonade.
22:28No, I'm already kidding.
22:29I don't drink.
22:31Well, just shout if you need anything.
22:34Chris has brought in some letters and a photo relating to the infamous Cray Twins.
22:39I've got a couple of very interesting gangland-related letters on my table.
22:43I'm really not sure what they're worth, but I'm definitely going to try and buy them.
22:47I'm looking somewhere, a minimum of 200.
22:52Enough to treat yourself to something nice.
22:55The money is going to go towards a funeral plot.
22:59Not quite what I had in mind.
23:01Is it for you?
23:03Yes.
23:03Planning for the future, eh?
23:05That's what we've got to do in my time of life.
23:09You have brought me along a couple of very, very interesting pieces.
23:13Yes.
23:14What can you tell me about them?
23:16Well, I can tell you I've had them around about ten years.
23:19Yeah.
23:19I bought them from a private seller.
23:21Right.
23:21And I thought it was one of the Crays.
23:26That's how I was told.
23:27Right.
23:28That's partly true, partly not true.
23:30Yeah.
23:31We've got a letter here that has got Reg Cray on the top.
23:36The script of the letter itself is very, very hard to decipher.
23:40Yeah.
23:41But we've got a little brass plaque at the bottom.
23:43We've got a tribute to Ronnie, Reg and Charlie Cray.
23:47And it says underneath, legends.
23:50Yeah.
23:50Now, the Crays obviously were the most notorious gangsters in the 1960s, and they had a lot of
23:58people who were under their wing and part of the notorious Cray gang.
24:05Then we have this picture here, which is actually linked to the Crays, but it's not one of the
24:13Crays.
24:13This is the notorious mad Frankie Fraser.
24:17Right.
24:17And this is a letter written by him to a private couple, and it says at the top here,
24:24replying to this letter, please list the name below, and it's just got Fraser at the top.
24:28Right.
24:29Now, when you look at the photograph, it's a really well-taken portrait, and it's very
24:36moody because you've got that notorious grin, and then the way that the photographer has
24:43captured the shadowing on the top gives it sort of like a sinister look.
24:48Yeah.
24:48In my opinion.
24:49So you bought them privately.
24:51Yes.
24:51Okay.
24:52And why have you decided at this point to sell them?
24:55Well, it's a bit morbid.
24:56Right?
24:58Yeah.
25:00Obviously, I'm looking at a funeral.
25:02What, your funeral or somebody you don't like?
25:04Oh, I'm, yeah.
25:05No, we're buying the casket.
25:08Oh, I mean, it's not a bad thing to do.
25:11You know, if you get it all sort of, you know, pre-organised and such, it saves a lot of
25:15stress
25:16for other people.
25:17It certainly does.
25:18I'm going to put some money on the table and see if I can tempt you to park with them.
25:22Yeah, if you brought your safe, will you?
25:26Well, I did have one, but the craze took it.
25:28All right.
25:30Right, let's have a look, see what we can do.
25:33So we'll start with 20, 40, 60.
25:3980 quid the table.
25:41No.
25:42How about 100 quid?
25:44No.
25:45No.
25:45Am I a million miles away?
25:47You're quite a bit away.
25:48Am I?
25:51How about 120 pounds, Chris?
25:56No, we're still a bit...
25:57I still know.
25:58Yeah.
25:58Well, let's hear from David, see what the Jews want to say.
26:00That would be great.
26:01Hi, David.
26:03Well, these, of course, are letters from infamous ganglang figures.
26:08They're our collectors.
26:10We've got 200 to 300 pounds.
26:12Right.
26:13What's on the table?
26:14120.
26:16Is that it?
26:18I'd go...
26:19I'd go one more to 140.
26:21OK.
26:22I think that's a sporting offer, but will it make more an auction?
26:27I would suggest a good possibility it would.
26:30Thank you, David.
26:31My offer, Chris, is 140 pounds.
26:35Can I propose another deal to you?
26:37Go on.
26:38I take the 140 that's down there now...
26:41Yeah.
26:41..and then it goes to auction...
26:43Right.
26:43..and anything over the 140...
26:46Yeah.
26:46..we split.
26:47Ooh.
26:50Do you know what?
26:51You've got a deal.
26:53Super.
26:54Fantastic.
26:54Chris, it's been a pleasure.
26:58I feel good, cos I think there's more profit to be get out of it.
27:02And you're quite happy to share with Henry?
27:04Of course.
27:05He's a great guy.
27:07Well, Chris, good luck to both of us at the auction.
27:10Let's hope.
27:13Over in the sale room, does Chris have any last-minute jitters?
27:18Oh, yeah.
27:18Well, very much excitement as well, in anticipation of getting loads of money.
27:24We've got our fingers crossed for you.
27:26Thank you all.
27:27What did you pay for it?
27:29I paid 250 for this.
27:31OK.
27:32Well, I think that probably sounds more like the going rate.
27:35The reserve is set at 200 pounds.
27:37So, let's see what it brings.
27:39Coming up now.
27:40I've got bids left with me.
27:44150 bid.
27:45160 do I see?
27:47150.
27:4860.
27:50170 with me.
27:52180 for you.
27:53180.
27:54The reserve is two.
27:55If it gets near, you can make a decision if you want to sell.
27:59They're looking at you.
28:01You can either take your 180 or you can turn it down.
28:04I'll take your...
28:05180.
28:05Yes.
28:06Selling at 180.
28:09180, thank you.
28:11180.
28:12Then we have the commission to take away.
28:14I make that 148 pounds.
28:18Just an inch of 150.
28:20A bit of a small loss.
28:21You pay 250 for it.
28:22But on the day, you've had it, you've researched it, you've read it,
28:27and you've decided it's time to pass it on to somebody else.
28:31And that is the real deal.
28:33An extra four pounds, Chris.
28:35Even though we didn't make that much more money,
28:38a profit's a profit,
28:39and obviously Henry's got that little bit of profit as well.
28:42Well, I think that's what they call breaking even.
28:45Four quid's four quid, Henry.
28:48Luckily, our competition prize is a bit more impressive.
28:53£110,000 is up for winning.
28:56All you've got to do is enter the competition.
28:58One lucky person scoops up the jackpot.

29:42Lines close Monday, 2nd of February at 10am.
29:47I always think if you haven't used something for a while...
29:51How have you managed to amass such a collection?
29:54Um, just over the years.
29:56You might as well get rid.
29:57Nobody wears it any more, so...
29:59Sell it on.
30:01And make some cash.
30:02I'd rather have an ace holiday.
30:05So, something tells me your collection no longer takes pride of place, Alex.
30:11Not really.
30:12They've been sitting unloved for a long time in some draw.
30:17Like I say, you'd just as well move it on.
30:20Got a price in mind?
30:22Not really.
30:23Take it as it comes.
30:24Well, as we've already seen, Alison does like a bit of silver.
30:27I just love anything shiny.
30:32And I don't think I'm going to be able to run away with this.
30:37So, do these have any emotional connection to you?
30:41Some do, yes.
30:43The chain with the St John's Ambulance emblem on it was my father's, which I remember.
30:49The watchers would have belonged to members of my mother's side of the family.
30:58Probably going back to the early 1900s.
31:00So, they are family pieces?
31:02They're all family pieces, yes.
31:04Well, these two here are cigarette cases.
31:07Yes.
31:07That's a Vesta case and you'd have been able to strike a match on it.
31:12Yes.
31:13But this is the one I like best of all.
31:16Yes.
31:16Do you know what that is?
31:18Er, not really.
31:20So, it is a Vesta case.
31:22So, you'd put your matches in there.
31:24Yes.
31:25And then you'd strike it on the lid.
31:28Yes.
31:30But, it also is for sovereigns.
31:35It's a year since I've handled it, so I'd forgotten that.
31:39I remember, yes.
31:40I love that.
31:41And it's fully hallmarked and it was made in 1901.
31:45Well, I didn't know that.
31:47Yeah.
31:48So, why are you selling?
31:50You're selling because you're downsizing.
31:52We're downsizing.
31:52We've both got lots of possessions dating back over the years and we can't keep them.
31:59And what will you do with all the downsizing money that you're going to get?
32:03When you're moving into a new house, there's no shortage of things to spend money on.
32:09All right.
32:09Let me put the cash on the table.
32:11Right.
32:12OK.
32:13Well, 100.
32:18200.
32:22250.
32:29300.
32:31We're making good progress there.
32:34I feel like I'm within a hair's breadth.
32:37I think you can go a little bit further.
32:39I will.
32:41I do have the price in mind.
32:44320 on the table.
32:46What would you like to do?
32:47I think we ought to call in David.
32:49Everybody, what's David today?
32:51Well, it's nice to meet you and thank you for calling me in.
32:55Now, you've been a very nice girl today, haven't you?
32:59You've bought very nice things.
33:00You've given a very good price.
33:02Now, my specialists say £300 to £400 here.
33:07So, I think on the day, that's a very good offer.
33:10And also, she's been a very good girl today.
33:14I want to give her a little bit of a treat,
33:16cos one of the pieces she'll keep for herself.
33:18The sovereign case.
33:21He knows me too well, doesn't he?
33:23Yes, yes.
33:25320.
33:26Well, 330 would be sweeter.
33:29You are a task, aren't you?
33:34I'm not going to argue with you.
33:36How about if we split the difference at 325?
33:41It's a deal.
33:43We've got a deal.
33:44Thanks, darling.
33:47I got my little sovereign investor case,
33:50and I love it.
33:53£325.
33:55And what do we call that?
33:57I think it's the real deal.
34:00Coming up, a deal that's tailored.
34:04Have you got a use for the money?
34:05I think I might join you and get some nice suits.
34:09Good idea.
34:10Good idea, that.
34:10To perfection.
34:12£8,000 for you.
34:13£8,000.
34:14Whoa!
34:14Come on, James!
34:15Yes!
34:16Come on, James!
34:17Yes!
34:18Raises the roof at auction.
34:20So!
34:20Yay!
34:24Oh, wow!
34:28Let's see how they've done.
34:31Gold jewellery.
34:32Old toys.
34:35Dickinson's real deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Co.
34:39Let's see how they've done.
34:41Gold jewellery.
34:43Old toys.
34:45Dickinson's real deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Co.
34:52Welcome back to Dickinson's real deal from the Albert Hall in Nottingham.
34:57Our dealers have certainly had their work cut out today.
35:01£3,000.
35:02Am I getting warmer?
35:03No.
35:04Just off cold.
35:06Just off cold.
35:07Is the honey with the money a bit on the low side, do you think?
35:10But it's a collection of fantasy books and paintings.
35:13I think the right auction estimate for that is £600 to £1,000.
35:19I think this is similar.
35:22By science fiction illustrator John Blanche that might have just got our Stuart stumped.
35:27The most difficult one I've ever had, I think.
35:30There's a table full of artwork and prints and sketches or paintings.
35:36All pretty weird stuff.
35:37And it's not just the items on your table.
35:40There's loads of books, postcards and more.
35:44We'll catch up with you after.
35:46Yeah, good idea.
35:47And if I'm flat out on the floor painted, you know that I've blown it all.
35:53So, H, have you seen the Hoff before?
35:55Yes, I have.
35:55What do you think of him?
35:57He's got lovely suits.
35:58But do you think he'll give you a lovely offer?
36:00Yes, to match his suits.
36:02I have to warn you, H, he didn't sound that confident.
36:06I like a challenge, so I'm going to have a go at them and let's see how we get on.
36:13There's a hell of a selection of things here.
36:15Yes.
36:15I've got to ask you, first of all, how do you come by these?
36:18I was a carer for an elderly gentleman who is the father of John Blanche, so I looked after
36:25him for over 10 plus years.
36:27So he left me these in his will.
36:30Okay.
36:30What else do you know about them?
36:32It's a collection here from the early 70s up until the 90s.
36:35A lot of this work has been done from before John Blanche was famous.
36:41So, yeah, they're all one-off unique pieces.
36:44The only printed ones are the postcards across the front and all the others are originals.
36:49I find they're amazing.
36:50The work that's got into those is incredible.
36:52Yes, there is a lot of intricate work in them.
36:54He's a pretty specialised artist.
36:57And some of the things are really wild.
36:59Yes.
36:59They've all got this supernatural, futuristic...
37:02Yeah, mythical.
37:03Mythical is the good word.
37:05Mythical, yes.
37:06Great use of colour.
37:07When you look at the actual pictures, they're not just a flat picture.
37:12There's a huge story in each picture.
37:14There is depth to them all.
37:14You're right, yes.
37:15He's basically Warhammer.
37:18Warhammer's huge, isn't it?
37:19It's huge, yeah.
37:20And the artist himself now is in his late 80 years?
37:25He is.
37:26If I buy them from you today, have you got an idea for the money?
37:29Have you got a use for the money?
37:31I think I might join you and get some nice suits.
37:35Well, what can I say to that?
37:36Good idea.
37:37Good idea, that.
37:38I try and do you proud.
37:40It's a great sense of style.
37:41I like it.
37:41Thank you very much.
37:42Very individual.
37:43And you know how to get the best out of this.
37:4950.
37:51100.
37:54150.
37:55200.
37:56200.
37:59300.
38:02350.
38:03400.
38:05450.
38:07500.
38:09550.
38:11600.
38:1420.
38:1540.
38:1660.
38:1880.
38:20700.
38:2180.
38:2340.
38:2560.
38:2780.
38:29800 pounds.
38:31Would you like me to select which ones I'm willing to sell for 800 pounds?
38:38I get your point.
38:39Okay.
38:43That's the best I want to give you, I'm afraid.
38:46Well, I appreciate your offer, but no deal.
38:51Lovely to meet you.
38:52Lovely to meet you two and all the very best at the auction.
38:54Thank you very much.
38:55How do you feel about all that, H?
38:57I feel great.
38:58I'm happy to think we're going to auction and to see what the true value is of this artwork.
39:03What happened there, Hoff?
39:05I did not buy them.
39:07Thanks for pointing that out, Stuart.
39:12Before we head to the auction, let's check in with the Duke with news of our massive cash prize.
39:19Wow.
39:20Just look at the amount of cash here.
39:23£110,000.
39:24That's today's cash competition prize.
39:27All you have to do is enter.
39:30Is it your time to be a winner?
39:31It could be.
39:33Here's how to enter.
39:35This is week one of our four-week prize draw that gives you a chance to win a fantastic £110
39:41,000.

40:15800, 8...
40:17Over in the cell room.
40:19900 on the phone.
40:20What does auctioneer James think about those fantasy paintings?
40:25John Blanche Warhammer book illustrations are fantastic.
40:30They're a really good lot.
40:32I think they're worth twice the offer.
40:34I think they're worth £1,500.
40:36And although H is feeling rather relaxed about the sale...
40:40Whatever we achieve today is a bonus.
40:43She's still holding a grudge over Hoff's offer.
40:46Low levels do it.
40:48Terrible, terrible low level.
40:50To try and beat Stuart's £800 offer,
40:53the items have been split into two lots.
40:55One with books signed by the artist
40:58and the other with all the illustrations and paintings.
41:04What are you thinking of doing if they sell?
41:08I see here you're talking about a family car.
41:10Yeah, or an electric bike.
41:12Or an electric bike.
41:13For you?
41:14Yes.
41:15Have you tried them yet?
41:16I have, I've tried one.
41:18Yeah, and you like it?
41:19I think they're very nice.
41:20OK.
41:20So it's an electric bike.
41:22I have a heart problem now.
41:23A heart problem?
41:24Yes, I had open heart surgery two years ago.
