00:10Welcome to What's in the Box.
00:13In Brian's box of old things are jewellery, opera glasses, old currency.
00:18And they got the real deal.
00:22Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
00:48Hello and welcome to the show. I'm David Dickinson, the Duke, and this, of course, is the real deal.
00:54Now today we're at a fantastic location, the Royal Armouries in Leeds.
01:01We're ready to go. Our sellers are here. Our dealers are here. I'm feeling like a bit of a battle.
01:08Well, it looks like our dealers are planning to win with the Charm Offensive today.
01:13Nice to see you.
01:13Oh, I like your nails. It's got a lovely colour.
01:16You're looking very glamorous.
01:18Thank you, David.
01:18You've got a very happy, smiley face.
01:20They're really lovely and it's cheered me up. Oh, thank you.
01:24But in the end, cash is always king.
01:26Get your money out.
01:27I'm getting the money out, yeah.
01:29That's £1,000.
01:30He needs to make a profit.
01:32We're not against that.
01:33£80.
01:34Any chance of another tenner?
01:36Lovely leads. I cannot wait to get started.
01:39Are you ready? Let's do it. Let's do the real deal.
01:47Here at the Royal Armouries, the battle lines are drawn, our dealers have a profit in their sights and the
01:53Duke is on high alert.
01:54OK, we're ready.
01:56What better way to start than with a Royal Connection? Nice plates, Christine.
02:01I'm here today to see Tim and I've got a set of silver plates, which I'm hoping to get around
02:07£500 for so I can buy some new golf clubs.
02:11Golf? Have you been playing long?
02:13Yeah, 20 years. Still no better.
02:15Don't worry, Christine. Tim's been a dealer for decades and sometimes he still doesn't know what he's doing.
02:21What am I doing? Who am I?
02:23You're here to spend your money, Tim, and we know you love shiny things.
02:27I will definitely buy these silver plates today. I promised you.
02:31That's more like it. So, how much are we talking about?
02:34Anything from £100 to £500.
02:39So, which is it?
02:41I'm not telling you. I'm being aloof.
02:44Oh, get you.
02:47Hello, Christine.
02:49Hello, Tim.
02:49Welcome to The Real Deal.
02:51So, silver plates.
02:54Are you a Royalist?
02:55Er, no.
02:56They've been in my loft for 20-odd years.
02:59Got them after my dad died and they've just been sat there ever since.
03:03So, was your dad a Royalist?
03:05Er, actually, he was, yes.
03:07I did like the Queen, yeah.
03:08We are in the Royal Armouries and the late Queen did open the Royal Armouries.
03:13So, we've put them in ascending order.
03:16So, he's the earliest, Richard III, then we've got Henry VIII.
03:21Yeah.
03:22He needed a good divorce line, didn't he, really?
03:24Then we've got Queen Elizabeth I, then we've got Charles I, he lost his head, I'm afraid.
03:32Queen Victoria and the late Queen.
03:35Queen, so, obviously, there are a few missing.
03:39A few centuries.
03:40There are a few monarchs missing in all this.
03:42So, maybe he had those or he didn't have them.
03:46I wouldn't know.
03:47They might be still in the loft, Christine.
03:49I'll have to go look.
03:50You'll have to go look.
03:51Now, the London hallmark.
03:53So, you've got the lion's mask here for London, then you've got the date letter.
03:57And I've roughly dated them to about 1970, 1972, that sort of period.
04:04Now, your problem with these is finding somebody who wants to collect a piece of Royal Memorabilia.
04:10That's the downside.
04:12The upside is that the silver, silver's doing very well at the moment.
04:17It's a good price.
04:19And if you were to sell these, what would you spend the money on?
04:22I'm going to buy some new golf clubs.
04:25Oh, are you a golfer?
04:26I am.
04:26Are you?
04:27Right.
04:28What's your handicap?
04:2917.5.
04:30Is that good?
04:31It's OK.
04:32Is that all right?
04:32It's not that good.
04:34I'm working on it.
04:35But when you get your new clubs, it may come down.
04:37Right, so, it is that crucial time, Christine, money.
04:41Yeah, get your money out.
04:43I'm getting my money out, yeah.
04:44Right, my dear.
04:46£50.
04:51£100, £150, £200, £250, £300, £350, £400, £450.
05:11That's two-thirds of a set of clubs, probably.
05:15Two-thirds, right.
05:16Are they dear, these clubs?
05:17Yeah.
05:19Five-hundred pounds.
05:22Keep going.
05:25Nice fifth step.
05:27I'll caddy for you.
05:28I will.
05:29I'll go all round.
05:31I'll caddy for you.
05:33£550.
05:34Now, I think you need a little bit of help.
05:37Well, I anticipated this.
05:39I've just gone back to my specialists.
05:41They're interesting.
05:42They're well presented.
05:45I've got £500 to £700, but the interesting thing is, it's £723 worth of silver.
05:52What's on the table, £550?
05:54£550.
05:55£550.
05:55A bit and a half.
05:56We need a bit more.
05:57Because I think you can say to someone, look, I've paid, you know, £700 for these, and all I want
06:03is a 20% profit.
06:05Did you say £700?
06:07I mean, one, two, three, four, five, six, at 700 quid.
06:13Don't you love his enthusiasm with my money?
06:16Well, you see, that's my job, to take his money and give it to the seller.
06:21Yeah.
06:22Come on, what should I do?
06:22Right, OK, right.
06:25£6.
06:26Yeah.
06:27£15.
06:29Is that the death, death?
06:30Yes, David.
06:32OK, I don't believe if you go to the auction, you can get more after the deduction of the commission.
06:39And so, reluctantly, I'm going to say, sell them to Tim.
06:44And I'm sure he'll sell them at a modest profit, but I think that's the best deal.
06:49Thank you, David.
06:50What do you think, Christine?
06:51Another tenner.
06:53That's it, Christine.
06:54It is a no from me.
06:56I'll accept your offer.
06:58Thank you very much for my modest profit.
07:02What did Timmy tell you?
07:03I knew that I would buy these.
07:05And thank you, David, for my modest profit.
07:09You've done much better, Christine.
07:12£150 more than you wanted.
07:14Thanks, Tim.
07:14I feel great.
07:15I can feel some new clubs coming on.
07:18And she went straight down to the golf course with them.
07:21I got the real deal.
07:28Everyone's dressed to impress here in Leeds.
07:30David certainly looks the part.
07:32You look like a prince.
07:34I'm a duke.
07:34Would that count as well?
07:36Yes.
07:36OK.
07:37And look at this top hat.
07:39Doesn't quite look your style, Jason.
07:41No, more of a flat cap guy.
07:44So where did it come from?
07:46I bought it in France at a car book sale.
07:48I paid 30 euros, which is £25.
07:52And how much are you hoping to get for it?
07:54As much as possible.
07:55As long as I make a profit, I'll be happy.
07:58Well, Tracey's taken a shine to it.
08:00And she's got previous hat form on the show.
08:03Perfect fit.
08:05£80.
08:06They put this at £30 to £40.
08:09That one was in the shop window for quite a while.
08:12Fancy another one, Tracey?
08:14Top hat number two.
08:17I think we're going to be paying between £30 and £40 for this one.
08:21And it's going to end up in the shop on the other side this time.
08:27Another top hat.
08:32So, tell me about it.
08:34I bought it in France at a car book sale.
08:37OK.
08:38I have a fishing cabin there.
08:40Right.
08:40And I like to go to the car boots to try and make enough money to follow my trip.
08:46I love car boots.
08:47Yeah, I do.
08:48Love them.
08:48With this, I thought it were too good for a car book sale.
08:51Let me get my glasses on and let's see who's made it.
08:55So, you've got a silk and leather top hat.
08:59And it's made by A.J. White, a prominent hat maker based in London.
09:05This was probably about 1920s.
09:08Right.
09:09OK.
09:09The quality is superb.
09:12But sadly, it has got a little bit of wear on the inside.
09:16And there is quite a lot of watermarks around the edge.
09:19And to be honest, I think it's just disintegrated with age.
09:22It's over 100 years old.
09:24But you can feel how sturdy it is.
09:27And it shows the workmanship and the quality, doesn't it?
09:30It does.
09:31It does indeed.
09:32The box itself.
09:33Look at the leather work on the box.
09:35Yeah.
09:35This would have been seriously expensive when it were...
09:38I believe so.
09:39When you, a very rich gentleman, would have wore this...
09:44I imagine so.
09:45Why have you decided to sell it?
09:48I've got no real connection with it.
09:50So, as I said, just to fund my trips to France.
09:54I'm going to try and buy it.
09:55OK.
09:57Right.
09:57How much are we going to pay for this?
10:01I'm going to start with a 20...
10:0625 pounds.
10:08I don't think so.
10:09I don't think so.
10:10Is that just for the top of the box?
10:12Well, I'll take the top out and you can have the bottom bit.
10:18Er...
10:1830 pounds.
10:19I think we can go a bit more than that.
10:22I think we need to bring David in and let's see what he says.
10:25Yes, please.
10:26Hello.
10:27Hi, David.
10:28Nice to see you.
10:29OK, now, looking at this brings back a little bit of a memory, Tracey.
10:33It does.
10:35I seem to remember you bought one of these.
10:37Yes, I did, indeed, and lost loads of money on it.
10:41OK.
10:42Right, well, I've had a look at this one.
10:44I think that's moleskin.
10:45I don't think that's silk.
10:46I think it's moleskin.
10:47I like the box.
10:49I think it's in great original condition.
10:5330 to 60 is the estimation.
10:5630 sounds a little bit mean-y.
10:59I think we need just a little bit more.
11:01I won't press too hard.
11:02What are you putting down?
11:03Er, I'm going to put another tenner down, so it's 40 pounds.
11:06OK.
11:06That's where I'll...
11:0740 pounds is not a bad offer.
11:10Any chance of another tenner?
11:11I'll give you another fiver.
11:13What's that, 45?
11:14Yeah.
11:15OK, I'm going to say if it was me, I would take the money,
11:18but it's your call.
11:19If you want to go to auction, I'll take you there.
11:22But remember, there is the dreaded commission.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Good offer, Tracey.
11:28If you could go another fiver, I'd take it.
11:30That's it, love.
11:31I'd take it.
11:31That's exactly where I want to be.
11:33It's not going to get me very far in France, though.
11:35But, er, yeah, I think we'll deal.
11:37Give me your hand.
11:38Enjoy.
11:40Deal.
11:42I paid 30 euros, which is about £25,
11:45so I've got £20 profit.
11:47And hats off to the Duke.
11:49David was very hopeful.
11:51He got me an extra fiver.
11:53Another top hat, Tracey.
11:55What are you going to do with this one?
11:57I've got a fantastic fancy dress party coming up,
12:00so I might be wearing it yet.
12:02Mmm, we look forward to seeing that, Tracey.
12:06After the break, Christmas comes early for one seller.
12:09I was Leeds' official Santa Claus for a while.
12:12He comes bearing gifts.
12:15It's really nice quality.
12:17But what are they?
12:18We've got a guy here who knows more about these than we know.
12:22And will the bidders go crackers for them?
12:25The internet's racing ahead of me.
12:26Am I looking suitably surprised here?
12:28Yes.
12:32Let's see how they've done.
12:33Old toys, vintage cameras.
12:38Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
12:42Let's see how they've done.
12:44Old toys, vintage cameras.
12:48Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
12:56Welcome back to Dickinson's Real Deal.
13:00Whenever we visit Leeds, we've come to expect something odd.
13:04What have you bought me in here?
13:06It used to be my mum's.
13:07She used to use it for her wigs.
13:09Quirky.
13:10The tickets come out.
13:12Oh, what did they call them?
13:14Clippers or something like that?
13:15Or unusual.
13:17Quite an interesting razor set.
13:19Yeah, beards are really in.
13:21Shaving requisites are really in for the young generation.
13:24What have we got today, Simon?
13:26Some Japanese sword accessories.
13:30I'm not really sure, but hopefully our seller will know a bit about this.
13:35Good job our seller David is a bit of an expert.
13:39Well, they're basically parts for a Japanese sword hilt.
13:42The suba, which is the guard, and the manuki, which are decorations for the hilt.
13:45Will Simon have to battle hard to take them off your hands?
13:48I'm looking for about £100 plus for the collection.
13:54David, what can you tell me about what you've brought in today?
13:57Well, they are a suba and a pair of manuki.
14:01Suba is the handguard that would go on to a Japanese sword.
14:04It's a technique called uregana.
14:06It's an oxidised iron base plate decorated with gold, silver and copper foil.
14:13And the pattern is actually of a bird landing in a marsh in, I would think, high summer or autumn.
14:20They're normally more or less this shape, aren't they?
14:22Pretty well.
14:22And then, obviously, the holes are for the sword to go through.
14:26The side hole is for a little utility knife that would clip into the scabbard.
14:30It's really nice quality.
14:32There would originally have been four in the series, reflecting the four seasons of the year.
14:36And a samurai of sufficient rank to have afforded this would have actually changed them as the seasons changed,
14:43so that his suba reflected the seasons.
14:46The two small ornaments are called manuki, and they go underneath the binding on the hilt of a Japanese sword.
14:54They do have rules.
14:55They're meant to reflect each other.
14:57You would never get two exactly the same, so if you had one with a moon, you might have one
15:04with a sun on the other side.
15:06Or there would be mirror images, and the rule with animals was that they should always face the blade.
15:12In all the years I've been doing this show, that's the best description I've ever heard anyone give of an
15:17item.
15:18So, really, there's very, very little I can add to what you said.
15:22The knowledge that you've got about them, I think it's very, very impressive.
15:25It's collector's specialist knowledge.
15:27It is, and I think one of the things I probably know least about with any oriental art is actually
15:34anything to do with weapons,
15:35because I don't deal in any weapons anyway as a matter of principle.
15:39But having said that, I can appreciate the work that goes into it.
15:43And I also know, because I've been to auctions and I've seen them sell,
15:46and I know they make money and people collect them.
15:48So, what would you do today, David, if you did manage to sell these items?
15:53I'd take the money to the next antiques fair.
15:57Fair enough.
15:58You've got a very happy, smiley face.
16:01Have you ever been on telly before or something?
16:03You've got a familiar look about you.
16:05I was Leeds' official Santa Claus for a while.
16:08Oh, you were the official Santa Claus for Leeds?
16:10Well, I'm saying that.
16:11I was employed by Leeds Council, and I was the guy who would open up the lights.
16:15Oh, well, I bet you were a really good Santa.
16:17Well, I'm going to put some money down, because that's what I'm supposed to do.
16:20Now, I'm a bit out of my depth with these, and I do feel that, exactly,
16:23and I do feel you really know where you are with them.
16:27But I am going to offer you £50, £70, £80.
16:34Well, I'd call that a lowball, because that's fairly close to what I paid 15 years ago.
16:41Oh, right.
16:42I'm a bit out of my depth here.
16:44David, come and help me out here, please.
16:46Well, I've got a feeling we've got a guy here who knows more about these items than we know.
16:51I've got £100 to £150.
16:54What have you got down?
16:55I have put down £80, David.
16:57I know you have quite a lot of knowledge in this area.
17:00I think those should go to auction.
17:02The reason being is I just think there's a lot of mystique there somewhere,
17:07and somebody just might take them on and think,
17:10well, for this kind of money, I think this is something for my cabinet of curios,
17:15and I think they're interesting, and I think they're different.
17:19They're not going to make a fortune, but they might do that £150 at auction,
17:23and maybe a bit more.
17:25So I think it's worth a gamble, but that's your call.
17:27Thank you very much.
17:29The choice, David, is yours.
17:32Well, I certainly think that they're worth more than £80.
17:36Right.
17:37I'd take £120.
17:39I don't feel comfortable paying any more than that to them,
17:42and I also feel that they've probably got a better chance.
17:46I mean, they might make a couple of hundred pounds in auction.
17:48If you're not offering me any more,
17:51then I think they're going to have to go to auction, aren't they?
17:54Well, I really wish you well with it.
17:57Thank you so much for coming in.
17:59I bet you anything you like,
18:00the auctioneer can't describe them as well as you did either.
18:04It's always nice to walk away with the cash.
18:07But the offer was too lowball.
18:10Auctions are always a gamble.
18:13Let's hope I'm lucky on this one.
18:15I think he probably has got very realistic expectations,
18:18but he knows a lot more about it than I do,
18:21so I think he's heading in the right direction.
18:25Over in the sale room,
18:27seller David is keen to see his items go under the hammer.
18:30But first, he's got something to show us.
18:33I've brought in a complete original Japanese sword hill,
18:36and underneath the actual binding, those are the Manuki.
18:40Thanks, David.
18:41And I'm pleased to say that auctioneer Dominic Cox
18:43has high hopes for your Suba and Manuki.
18:46We've had a lot of interest.
18:47The market for Japanese items is still really strong.
18:50£100, that's very much a come-and-get-me estimate,
18:53and I would expect it to possibly double that.
18:56You know, on the day, I just had a bit of a feeling,
18:59you get a nose for it,
19:01I thought, these could be speculative,
19:03these could be interesting.
19:04Now, if we sell these today, David,
19:06what are you going to do with the money?
19:07I'm going to take it to another antique pair.
19:09Antique?
19:10Yeah.
19:10How often have we seen that?
19:12It is a bit of a habit, isn't it?
19:14Coming up now, the reserve is set at £100.
19:17I think they'll make £100 easily.
19:18I suspect there could be a little bit of treasure
19:21that just might strike a little bit of interest on the internet.
19:26Here we go.
19:27The Japanese Suba and the Manuki, really super lot this.
19:31We've had an awful lot of pre-sale interest.
19:33The internet's racing ahead of me.
19:34We're starting now at £200.
19:37Straight in at £2.
19:38£220, £240.
19:39Maybe the nose did think something here.
19:41I think you did.
19:42£260, £280.
19:44At £280, £300, £320.
19:47£300, £320.
19:48£220 now here at £320, £340.

20:17Happy?

20:19Very happy.

20:23Got the hots to go and spend it.
20:25OK, Dave?
20:25Oh, yes.
20:26OK.
20:26That was the real deal.
20:27It certainly was.
20:29I don't think anyone was expecting that.
20:31It's not often that you get a surprise like that.
20:35Yeah.
20:36Stunned.
20:37Stunned.
20:37I'm very glad that I let it go to auction.

22:02What's not to love about it?
22:03It's cheered me up.
22:05I've really talked it up now.
22:06I'm going to have to put my money where my mouth is.
22:08Will our sellers be counting their money?
22:10I have heard that he's very generous.
22:12£700.
22:14Just a bit of spending money.
22:15Or will they just be counting sheep?
22:18£80.
22:19Too low.
22:20He needs to make a profit.
22:22We're not against that.
22:23You want me to put a bit more down?
22:24Please.
22:29Let's see how they've done.
22:31Old toys.
22:32Vintage cameras.
22:35Dickinson's Real Deal brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
22:39Let's see how they've done.
22:41Old toys.
22:42Vintage cameras.
22:45Dickinson's Real Deal brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
22:53Welcome back to Dickinson's Real Deal.
22:56Do you want to come along to the show and sell your goods?
22:58I've got the money.
23:00Bring along small items of value you can carry.
23:04Lovely, jubilee.
23:05Don't miss out.
23:06I'll be waiting for you.

23:15Doors open from 8am to 5pm.
23:17Details of all our upcoming dealer days can be found at itv.com slash beyondtv.
23:26Here in Leeds, our sellers have been showing plenty of Yorkshire grit.
23:31£40.
23:32£40.
23:33Is that a foot plug?
23:35No, that's not a foot plug.
23:38£750.
23:39It'd be quite a cheap holiday, wouldn't it?
23:41I think you could go a bit higher.
23:43But David is always on hand.
23:46I see a little bit of fidgeting on the table there.
23:50I think there's a little bit more money.
23:51Put it down.
23:53Need any help selling your watch, Glyn?
23:55Yeah, I'd really like David to come in and do hard work for me.
23:58He always seems to get a better deal.
24:00He pushes him a bit.
24:02And how far do you need him to push?
24:04I'd like four figures.
24:06A thousand, twelve hundred.
24:08Let's hope Faye's feeling generous.
24:10I love that it's in its box.
24:12It looks in nice condition.
24:14What's not to love about it?
24:16Well, Faye seems keen.
24:19Glyn, lovely to meet you today.
24:21Hiya.
24:21Can you tell me what you've brought along, please?
24:23It's a Ladies Cartier Santos wristwatch.
24:26I bought it at auction, but my wife's not interested, so it's time to say goodbye.
24:32What do you mean, your wife's not interested?
24:35She's just not her type of thing.
24:38I think she's a bit scared of losing, so, you know, damaging it.
24:41OK, so you bought this at auction.
24:43How long ago did you buy it?
24:44About two, yeah.
24:45Was it a surprise for her?
24:47Yeah, yeah.
24:47Gosh.
24:48I bet you were surprised when she said she didn't like it.
24:51I was, yeah.
24:52Let's have a little look at what we've got.
24:54We've got a ladies' watch, obviously, and you call it the Santos?
24:59Yeah.
24:59That's the model of it, on a bi-metal strap.
25:03Yeah.
25:03It's a lovely white face.
25:05I love to see Roman numerals.
25:07Yeah.
25:07It's an absolute classic watch, exactly as you'd expect to see it with the marks on the clasp there.
25:13Yeah.
25:13Let me just have a look, check the clasp is nice, secure.
25:19It's a lovely watch.
25:22It appears to be the original box.
25:25Red leather, embossed, and, of course, you can see the signature there.
25:30Yeah.
25:31So, if I happen to buy this from you, have you decided what else you'd buy that you might not
25:36like?
25:38I think we'll book a holiday.
25:40I think you're safer buying a holiday than another piece of jewellery.
25:43Shall we put some money on the table and see how we get on?
25:47Let's have a look, shall we?
25:49Okay. So, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 pounds.
26:07It's a bit of spending money.
26:08It's a bit of spending money.
26:10Yeah.
26:10Yeah.
26:11Where were you planning to take her?
26:13Er, Greece, I think.
26:14Greece?
26:15So, you want me to put a bit more down?
26:17Yes.
26:20550, 600 pounds.
26:23I'd like a bit more.
26:25Mmm.
26:26I'm going to put 650, 700 pounds.
26:33Er.
26:34Would you like some advice?
26:35Yeah, I'll go with David.
26:37Shall we get David in?
26:38In fact, as if by magic, he's appeared.
26:40Well, I've just been back to my independent values.
26:43There's a bit of a mix here.
26:45One is saying 1,500 to 2.
26:49One is saying 1,500 to 2,500.
26:52What's on the table?
26:54Well, I put 700 pounds down to start with, David.
26:57I think that's low.
26:58Yep.
26:58These are doing quite well.
27:01I would expect it to at least bring 1,400 under the gavel,
27:05and they'd have to pay a bit of commission.
27:07I'm going to say, give me a call when you've got more money on the table.
27:11OK.
27:12We've got 700 pounds on the table.
27:15So, I'm going to go 750, 8, 850, 9, 950.
27:25There's 1,000 pounds.
27:28OK, I think at this stage, unless there was more money,
27:32it probably is worth a gamble.
27:34Are you prepared to put a little bit more tempting money into the pot?
27:39Come on, then.
27:40I'm going to put another 100 pounds down.
27:43That's 1,100 pounds cash in your pocket.
27:47Make your mind up, and if you want to go to auction, I'll take you there.
27:51Can I ask you a question, Glyn?
27:53Yeah.
27:54How much did you pay for it in auction?
27:56It was $800.
27:58I-100.
28:00So, you've actually made a profit as it stands.
28:04Now, I've just heard the word profit.
28:07I'm one of the old school that says, take the money and run.
28:11There may well be a better result in the auction,
28:14but there will be a deduction of commission.
28:16As I say, I'm from the old school, in the bin, gone.
28:22Glyn, it's decision time.
28:23Are you going to take the money and run, or do you want to take it to auction?
28:27What are you thinking?
28:28I'm going to take money.
28:30You're going to take the money?
28:31Wonderful.
28:32Shake my hand.
28:34Thank you so much, Glyn.
28:37I got £1,100.
28:40We're going to Greece and it'll be spending money.
28:42That's the real deal.
28:44Great deal with Glyn.
28:45There's got to be a £100, £150 pocket in it.
28:48We'll see.
28:51Now, fancy winning a huge pile of cash?
28:54David, what's up for grabs?
28:57£110,000.
28:59It's tax-free.
29:01One person is going to win the lot.
29:04Come on, Tiger.
29:05Give it a go.
29:07What a prize.
29:09This is week one of our four-week prize draw that gives you a chance to win a fantastic £110

29:52Dawn and her daughter Beth have teamed up and are hoping to get the real deal.
29:57I've got three Mackenzie thought prints coming up.
30:00I have some gold.
30:02And do you know who you're going to deal with?
30:04Not quite a clue, so it's going to be a nice surprise.
30:07Dawn's off to see Simon a little later.
30:10But first, Beth's heading over to Tracey's table.
30:12And it's not just the prints that are looking a little sheepish.
30:16What do I know about art?
30:18Not a great deal.
30:20But they do look pretty.
30:22Well, that's a good start.
30:24Beth, how much do you want for your mum's pictures?
30:27We're looking at about the 200 mark that we've paid, but if we can try and match that, I'll get
30:31anywhere close to that, it'd be brilliant today.
30:32And will that be going to you or to mum?
30:35Well, I'm the one here doing the selling, I'm the one doing the bargaining, so I should be getting a
30:39bit of commission from it.
30:42I can see you've brought some pictures in.
30:44Yes.
30:45It's very bold colours.
30:47Yep.
30:47Tell me about them.
30:49So, originally they were my mum's pieces.
30:51We first found it at a car boot sale about two, three years ago.
30:55It was the colours that brought us to attract her to it.
30:58Right.
30:59We love the unique and the abstract vibes of things.
31:01That would just scream buy me, because it's so cute.
31:03Literally what it did.
31:05So, we originally acquired this piece first.
31:07Right.
31:07And then she fell in love with that one, she found more online.
31:10So, three prints.
31:12Yes.
31:13Limited edition.
31:14Yes.
31:15The artist is Mackenzie Thorpe.
31:17Yes, Mackenzie Thorpe.
31:18He's from Middlesbrough.
31:20He's known for his uplifting pictures.
31:24Yeah.
31:24When you look at his pictures, they're very joyful.
31:26Which make you want to smile as soon as you shoot them.
31:28Yeah, you can't not smile.
31:29When you look at that, you're like, oh, that's so cute.
31:31But he won Artist of the Year for 2019, I believe.
31:36Oh, I didn't know that.
31:37Apparently, he has a go to sculptures as well.
31:40I have heard that.
31:41And, obviously, sheep.
31:44Sheep are his forte.
31:45No, he's definitely his forte.
31:48So, that one's called Sheep in Love.
31:50Yes.
31:52And, of course, it looks like Two Sheep in Love.
31:55Yes.
31:55That's my favourite.
31:56Yeah.
31:57I will agree with you on that one.
31:58That is my favourite.
31:58You can't help but feel happy when you look at that, can't you?
32:01Yeah.
32:01It's a limited edition print.
32:04296 out of 850.
32:05So, there's 850 prints and these are the signatures of them.
32:09I love the way that it plays with the colours.
32:12So, we've got this dark blue that runs into this yellow.
32:16And then we've got these tulips that do look like hooves.
32:20Yes, they do.
32:21And the red against the yellow and the little love hearts.
32:25They're all very romantic, aren't they?
32:28And then we've got...
32:29We've got the children.
32:30And, again, this is very spring-like.
32:33It's kind of like the children running around in the fields.
32:35Yeah.
32:36Yeah, it is.
32:37It just reminds me of spring.
32:39And then you've got these little faces and the sunflowers.
32:42And then this one, we've got over the gold, we've got the little face at the top.
32:48Yeah.
32:48And I love the gold bit on that one because I just think that brings a bit of depth into
32:53that picture.
32:54And he uses tulips as hooves.
32:56And that must be his thing.
32:58Yeah.
32:58You look at these and you know they're from the same artist because of his style.
33:03He loves colour.
33:04He loves bold.
33:05He loves bold, unique.
33:06Yeah.
33:06In your face.
33:07Yeah.
33:08Why has Mum decided to sell them now?
33:10Um, too cluttered at the moment.
33:13So, we are quite big antique collectors.
33:16Okay.
33:16So, it's just time to have a bit of a declutter, get a bit of organisation back in the life.
33:21So, do we know what Mum's going to do with the money if we do manage to buy these?
33:25She wants to buy more teddy bears.
33:26Teddy bears.
33:27I would like her to put it towards the holiday that she's going on with my daughter.
33:31Spoiler rotten a little bit.
33:32Spoiler rotten a little bit.
33:34So, I'm going to get some money out and I'm going to see if we can buy these.
33:38Perfect.
33:39Okay.
33:39But you've got to remember the print.
33:41Mm-hmm.
33:42So, that does make a difference on value.
33:44Yep.
33:45So, we're going to go 50.
33:47Mm-hmm.
33:4960.
33:5270.
33:5480 pounds.
33:59Too low.
34:00Are we really, really far off?
34:02Yeah.
34:03Okay.
34:06Um...
34:08Okay.
34:09So, we're going to say 90 pounds.
34:12Too low again.
34:13Too low.
34:14Are we miles away?
34:16Quite.
34:17Quite.
34:18Yeah.
34:18Okay.
34:19Where do I see these?
34:23What I'm going to do is I'm going to take that away and I'm going to say 100 quid and
34:28that's
34:28it.
34:28That's where I'm done.
34:30Too low.
34:32As lovely as they are, I think that's about the money.
34:37It's lower than what we've estimated, so.
34:39Yeah.
34:39I think we're going to have to go to auction.
34:41Okay.
34:41Thank you for bringing them in.
34:43No, thank you very much for your help.
34:44They're really lovely and he's cheered me up.
34:47Oh, thank you.
34:48Okay, Beth.
34:48I'm glad I could.
34:50I know what they were, so hopefully when we go to auction, they can be a little bit more
34:55than what she offered.
34:56I think Beth's done the right thing going to auction because Sunday's going to absolutely
35:00fall in love with them because they are so cute.
35:04Good luck, Beth.
35:07Over in the sale room auctioneer Dominic thinks the sheep should sell well at market.
35:12We see a lot of Mackenzie Thorpe prints.
35:15He's a very current artist.
35:17He's very popular.
35:18The only thing that I think possibly hinders them is that two of them are unframed, so,
35:22you know, the cost of framing nowadays, people are going to have to take that into account
35:25when bidding.
35:27Obviously, my pictures are quite collectible.
35:29They're bright, so hopefully can bring a bit of spark to some people.
35:32But no, I'm very confident today.
35:36What did you pay for them?
35:38So, in total, it was £150.
35:39The reserve is set at £150.
35:41Yes.
35:42I'd like to think we could do a little bit better.
35:45What are you going to do with this money?
35:47So, the money will be going towards my little girl's holiday with her grandma.
35:50Where is your little girl's holiday going to be?
35:53She's going...
35:53In the south of France or somewhere?
35:55Oh, trust me, if only.
35:56No, they're going to Butlins for a week.
35:57Okay, they're going to Butlins.
35:58Are we going to get these three prints away?
36:01We'll see.
36:02These three super Mackenzie Thorpe prints with the certificates of authenticity, all limited
36:07editions, and one of them really nicely framed up.
36:10Bit of interest in these.
36:11Starting on the book, I have £130 bid here.
36:14At £130, bid on commission here at £130, £140, thank you.
36:18£150 back with me.
36:20Add £150, £160 into the room.
36:22Takes out my commission bid, we're at £160 in the room.
36:25In the room, £160.
36:26£170 anywhere next.
36:27It's your last chance from selling in the room at £160.
36:31Okay, £160.
36:33We've got the dreaded commission to take off.
36:36Gives you £128, just a little bit less than what you paid a few years ago.
36:42Yeah.
36:43But on the day, I'm sure you've enjoyed having these.
36:46Real deal, £128.
36:48And going to Butlins.
36:51I was quite surprised I didn't go for a little bit more.
36:54But I walked away with £128.
36:56And this is definitely the real deal.
36:59We hope your daughter has a great holiday.
37:02There's going to be lots of sweets and lots of toys for her.
37:04After the break, it's Mum's turn.
37:07I know quite a lot of people that like these.
37:09Yeah?
37:10These are very popular.
37:12Good luck keeping hold of those, Simon.
37:14Price of gold is going up.
37:16It's a real chunky piece of gold there.
37:19The pound notes are going down.
37:21Get another £50 in it.
37:22Yes, I will.
37:23He'll be wearing it, I know he will.
37:25Keep watching.
37:29Let's see how they've done.
37:31Old toys, vintage cameras.
37:36Dickinson's real deal brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
37:40Let's see how they've done.
37:42Old toys, vintage cameras.
37:46Dickinson's real deal brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
37:53Welcome back to Dickinson's real deal from Leeds.
37:57Before the break, Beth got £128 at auction towards her daughter's holiday.
38:03This is definitely the real deal.
38:05Now it's Mum's turn to add to the holiday fund
38:08and Dawn has a pile of the gold stuff heading to Simon's table.
38:11I have heard that he's very generous when there's gold to be had,
38:14so looking forward to it.
38:16It has been known.
38:18Gold being the big word of the day, the price is going up.
38:21The pound notes are going down.
38:23How many are going down?
38:24Lots.
38:25Lots of pound notes are going down.
38:27Glad to hear it.
38:29Dawn, meet Simon.
38:30Nice to meet you.
38:30I like your nails.
38:33Focus, Simon.
38:35Dawn, you've brought in some gold.
38:36I have.
38:37A big, fat gold chain.
38:38Yep.
38:38And a half-sovereign ring.
38:40Yes.
38:41Tell me the history of it.
38:42How did you get to own them?
38:43I lent somebody some money for the chain
38:46because he didn't have the money that he needed,
38:48so I bought the chain off of him,
38:50and that's how I came about that.
38:51And the ring is actually my dad's ring.
38:52And they're things that you have no more use for?
38:56They're just sat in a cupboard doing nothing and...
38:58Time to turn them into money.
38:59Definitely.
39:00Let someone else enjoy them.
39:01Absolutely.
39:02Right, so what you've got,
39:04this heavy chain,
39:05and it is quite heavy.
39:06I don't know how old it is.
39:08It's difficult to say,
39:09but probably sort of 70s, 80s,
39:12something like that.
39:12I don't think it's any older than that.
39:14All right.
39:14Nine-carat gold.
39:17Sold probably in this country,
39:18probably made in this country.
39:20Difficult to say
39:20because the hallmark's a little bit hard to read.
39:23Then you've got a half-sovereign ring.
39:25The sovereign itself is 4 grams of 22-carat gold,
39:29and the ring is 9-carat gold,
39:32so we can work out how much the ring weighs altogether,
39:34then deduct the 4 grams for the sovereign
39:36and work out the weight of the ring that way.
39:39I think the sovereign is from 1982, isn't it?
39:41And the thing at the moment,
39:43as everyone's probably very aware of by now,
39:45the price of gold has gone up considerably.
39:47Yes.
39:48So you've picked a really good time to sell.
39:50Brilliant.
39:50Right, so I've really talked it up now, haven't I?
39:53Yes, definitely.
39:54So I'm going to have to put my money where my mouth is.
39:57What would you do to stay down with any money you receive?
40:00I will be investing in some more antique teddy bears,
40:03which is close to my heart,
40:05and I'm taking my granddaughter on holiday.
40:08Where did the fascination with teddy bears come from?
40:10I just started to go to car boot sales and things,
40:13and I just picked them up
40:14and then just became really interested in them.
40:16Every single one's different,
40:17and they just mesmerise me.
40:19So I know quite a lot of people that like these.
40:22Yeah?
40:23These are very popular.
40:25They don't ever seem to go out of fashion for some reason.
40:27I don't think I've ever had any.
40:29Right, I'm going to put down 20 of these to start off with.
40:33That's 1,000 pounds.
40:341, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
40:44That's 1,000 pounds.
40:491, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
41:02That's 1,000 pounds.
41:042, 000.
41:06It's a good start, but I don't think we're there yet, Simon.

42:12Let's get back to Simon and Dawn's gold,
42:14where there's already £2,000 on the table.
42:18£2,250.
42:26That was louder than I needed to speak.
42:28That wasn't for dramatic purposes.
42:30Now, I know exactly how much gold is there.
42:33Or I think I do.
42:34Let's get David over.
42:35He'll probably tell me I'm wrong.
42:36Yep.
42:37Mr Dickinson, over to you.
42:39OK, there doesn't look a lot of gold there, but there is.
42:42It's because of that chain.
42:44It's a real chunky piece of gold.
42:46£2,200 to £2,800 is the all-round estimate.
42:49But the thing that you need to know is the bullion value is £2,500.
42:55OK.
42:56Now, a dealer comes here.
42:57He uses his own money.
42:58He needs to make a profit.
43:00We're not against that.
43:02We want him to make a profit.
43:03But my job is to make sure you walk away with a fair price.
43:07That's true.
43:08What's on the table?
43:08£2,250.
43:09I worked it out exactly the same as you just said, David.
43:12There's about £250 of the profit there.
43:14Yeah.
43:1510%.
43:15The auctioneer is offering whatever the gavel price comes down,
43:19they will give you.
43:19They're not going to take a commission off the seller.
43:23OK.
43:23But the commission is added for the person that buys.
43:27OK.
43:27So he knows he's got us a little bit here.
43:31He's smiling as well.
43:32I'm smiling because, you know, at the end of the day,
43:34it comes down to one little thing, really.
43:36What is a fair profit?
43:37Yeah.
43:38What is a fair profit?
43:39Get another £50 in it.
43:40Yes, I will.
43:42OK.
43:42There you are.
43:43£2,300.
43:44You've got £2,300.
43:46I'm happy that you're going home with the right money.
43:48He's got that chain.
43:50He'll be wearing it.
43:51I know he will.
43:52OK.
43:52You've got a deal.
43:55Dawn, I don't want to give any more.
43:57OK.
43:58I really don't.
43:59Not even 50 more?
44:00No, I'll tell you what, Dawn.
44:01I want to earn a couple of hundred quid.
44:03And I don't think for laying out that sort of money,
44:06that is unreasonable.
44:07It's up to you.
44:08I'm going to say yes.
44:09Shake my hand.
44:11£2,300.
44:12Thank you, Dawn.
44:13And you mentioned that you...
44:15There's some money on the chain.
44:16So have you made a profit on that deal?
44:18I have, yes.
44:19I paid £1,000 for the chain.
44:21About six or seven years ago.
44:23Oh, well, probably six or seven years ago.
44:26That was its value.
44:27Yeah.
44:27So it just goes to show it was a good investment as well.
44:29Definitely.
44:29So well done you.
44:31Thank you very much.
44:33£1,000 profit.
44:34That was the real deal today.
44:36And I will be spending it on some more vintage teddy bears
44:39and holiday for my granddaughter.
44:42And it looks like she had a wonderful time.
44:47Our dealers shelled out £4,000 from their own pockets today.
44:52But have they managed to get their money back and make any profits?
44:56Tracy paid £45 for another top hat.
44:59I've got a fancy dress party coming up, so I might be wearing it yet.
45:05Come on, then.
45:05Let's have a look.
45:07As you can see, I've got the hat and just a fancy dress party.
45:11What more can I say?
45:13Very chic.
45:14Faye paid £1,100 for the Cartier watch.
45:18There's got to be a £100, £150 profit in it.
45:21Well, there may be one day, but not yet.
45:24It's with my horologist, Skye, he's just doing a quick check of it.
45:28Then it'll come back and I'll turn it over for a quick profit, hopefully.
45:32Tim dished out £650 for the Royal Silver Collection.
45:36I'm sure he'll sell them at a modest profit.
45:39No, it certainly was modest.
45:42Just £5, but a profit's a profit.
45:45And Skye and I want to keep up standards,
45:48so we're having birked beans from silver.
45:53Yum, yum.
45:54And what about Simon and that gold jewellery?
45:57£2,300.
45:59I want to earn a couple of hundred quid.
46:02I actually managed to make myself £180 profit.
46:06It's a fortune.
46:08Thank you very much.
46:10I've enjoyed it and I hope you have.
46:13Don't forget to join me, David Dickinson, the Duke,
46:15next time for Dickinson's Real Deal.
46:18I'll see you.
46:19Don't you be late.
46:20I'll be waiting.
46:45I'll be waiting.
