00:01The Moors are alive with the sound of money.
00:04£1,300 it is. Anybody in the room?
00:06Just give them a nudge in the ribs, ladies.
00:09Because our favourite auctioneer is back with a bang.
00:14Angus' customers are happier than ever.
00:19And the jobs are bigger than ever.
00:22At the end of the rainbow, there's might be some treasure.
00:24With the help and support...
00:26I can't break!
00:27..of his talented team...
00:29I think it's in need of a bit of a tune.
00:31..he's taking on even more jam-packed homes.
00:35There's a lot, isn't there?
00:36..finding priceless treasures...
00:38Oh, my word. It's a box of gold. This is fantastic.
00:42..fascinating curios...
00:43How heavy is it?
00:44Oh, not so bad.
00:47..cherished collections...
00:48End of an era?
00:49Oh.
00:50Didn't really expect to get emotional then.
00:51No.
00:52..and family heirloos.
00:54Could that go to auction?
00:55That could go to auction.
00:56Oh, you've made my day.
00:57Thank you very much.
00:58Then, using his knowledge and expertise...
01:01..what the highest orders of gallantry there is.
01:03..and his gift of the gavel...
01:06..at 1,550.
01:08You look tempted, sir. You do.
01:10..he delivers a fantastic...
01:12..2,000 pounds.
01:15..cash...
01:15..all done at 4,000.
01:17Ooh.
01:19..bonanza.
01:20I like it when it goes up like that.
01:33Right, Jack.
01:35Off on the road again.
01:36Yeah.
01:37And we're going to a lovely part of the world, actually.
01:39The Malvern Hills.
01:41Oh, yeah.
01:42Worcestershire.
01:42They do a good sauce in Worcestershire.
01:45Yes, they do.
01:45A very good sauce.
01:46And his famous maker sells 25 million bottles every year.
01:51But that has nothing to do with Angus and Jack's job today
01:55in the village of Welland and the home of Colin...
01:58..well, in here is all sorts.
02:00Do you think there's a diamond in there?
02:02Possibly not.
02:04And his wife, Christine.
02:06Colin and I met nine years ago on a blind date.
02:11And, I mean, Colin's just a very caring, kind, loving person.
02:16We just hit it off straight away.
02:19We had so much to talk about.
02:21And then, eventually, Colin moved in.
02:23Yeah.
02:23We've been married a couple of years now with me,
02:25so...
02:25Mm-hmm.
02:26..match made in heaven, are they call it, is it?
02:28Yeah.
02:28Something like that, though.
02:30What Christine didn't know was, Colin had baggage.
02:34Literally.
02:34All the stuff that was collected by Colin's dad
02:39came to my house,
02:43and it was a bit of an eye-opener, really.
02:47I can't believe that's, like, 70 years ago now, I suppose.
02:52Mum and Dad were childhood sweethearts, almost,
02:54so they were, like, joined at the hip.
02:57My dad was a very big collector for all his life.
03:01We had a small house,
03:02but Dad always used to be in his little bedroom upstairs,
03:05listening to jazz.
03:06That was his biggest thing, Glenn Miller.
03:08He collected over a good number of years.
03:11A lot of records went from, like,
03:13oh, I'm just going to buy one or two to 200.
03:16There was stamps, coins, postcards.
03:19Poor Mum just stood there and just looked at him
03:21bringing in all this stuff.
03:23Trevor and May led a full and fruitful life
03:26well into their 80s.
03:28You had to go into a care home,
03:30which was one of the worst things I'd ever had to do.
03:34Then Mum ended up in hospital
03:36and unfortunately lost her life through cancer of the thorax.
03:43Dad didn't have his sweetheart with him.
03:45And three months later, my dad passed away as well.
03:50You know...
03:51Heartbroken.
03:52Heartbroken, yeah.
03:53Very sad.
03:57Now, with all Mum and Dad's things here in their home,
04:01Colleen and Christine are faced with a problem.
04:04The house has just become too big for us.
04:06Yeah, so now we're downsizing.
04:08We decided to invite Angus
04:10because it's the right time now to get rid of it.
04:13Otherwise, we'll have no room for our clothes at the new house.
04:17Well...
04:18Here it is.
04:19You can rely on Angus.
04:22What a day.
04:23Yeah.
04:24Beautiful, isn't it?
04:32Hi, good morning.
04:33Oh, morning. Are you alright?
04:34Yeah, I'm good, thank you.
04:35I brought Jack with me.
04:36Come on in and have a look.
04:43So what's the situation?
04:45I've carried my dad's stuff for the last nine years.
04:48I've had it locked up in cupboards.
04:49There's just so much stuff there.
04:51Okay.
04:51We'll see what we can do.
04:53And whereabouts in the house did we...?
04:55Well, I've managed to try and keep it down to sort of two rooms.
04:59Yeah.
04:59So I've put a lot in the lounge.
05:00Yes.
05:01There's a mixture in there.
05:02And then if you go upstairs into the bedroom,
05:04I've got a lot in there as well.
05:06Coins, old postcards.
05:09A real mixed bag, really.
05:10Okay.
05:11Jack, do you want to make a start upstairs?
05:12And then shall we take a look in the living room?
05:14Yeah, yeah.
05:17Yeah.
05:17Right.
05:18Yeah, just a few little bits and pieces I've managed to gather up.
05:23Okay.
05:23In here, they've got some V-discs and that.
05:25Oh, okay, V-discs.
05:27Yeah.
05:27You don't see them very often, and they were a product of war.
05:30Okay.
05:30Came out in 1943 in America, and they were really made for the troops.
05:35U.S. record companies, together with the U.S. government,
05:39created vinyl records, called V-discs,
05:42that would entertain and raise the morale of those fighting overseas.
05:47And V-disc, because it was V for victory.
05:50Oh, okay.
05:51I can see...
05:51Was your dad a massive Glenn Miller?
05:53Yeah, massive Glenn Miller fan.
05:54Yeah.
05:54He was a great sort of mouthpiece for the war effort, really.
05:57The famous swing musician was himself an Air Force captain during the war.
06:03A lot of the discs had an introduction.
06:05Hello, it's Captain Glenn Miller here.
06:06Here's a song by...
06:08Obviously, Glenn Miller, a huge name.
06:10Commercially, they're interesting.
06:12There's not just V-discs.
06:13There are hundreds of regular vinyl records here, too.
06:17Combined, they could make just under 200 quid.
06:21So, are you happy for me to sort of go through and see what we can do?
06:24Yeah, everything in here is open for you to have a look at.
06:25Wonderful. Right, we'll see how we get on.
06:27Moving his dad's collections on is key, but a pot of cash for Colin and Christine will
06:32hopefully bring welcome smiles to their faces.
06:36We've had a couple of tough years.
06:39I had a very rare skin cancer.
06:41It's all been removed and everything's fine now, so that's good.
06:45Mmm, that was scary. Scary.
06:46And then Colin followed that by having three heart attacks.
06:53And that was very scary, too.
06:56That was very, very scary, yes.
06:58And we nearly lost him.
07:01Luckily, we didn't.
07:02Yeah.
07:03He makes me carry all the shopping now.
07:05Mmm, still works.
07:08So, if we make any money at the auction, one thing we would really like to do is to go
07:15to Sardinia in Italy.
07:19It was something we wanted to do as a honeymoon.
07:22But then we had all the events up in the heart and the cancer, so we never got to do
07:27it, really.
07:27With a long-awaited and deserved honeymoon to fund, we need to step it up a gear, chaps.
07:35Oh, look at that. We've got various tins in here, but this is the absolute gem.
07:39This tin is actually for mustard. Keynes Mustard, the national condiment.
07:44They actually opened the first mustard factory in London in 1742.
07:51Mustard was big business, you know.
07:53And this is a Victorian tin.
07:54And this one's beautiful.
07:55This displays all the great things, the Victoria Cross, various scenes.
07:59There are collectors for tins.
08:02And one of the sort of most famous tins come from a company called Huntley & Palmer's.
08:08It was started by Mr Huntley in 1822.
08:11And biscuits got broken on journeys, so he started putting them in tins.
08:15Some of their tins can make well into the hundreds.
08:18This sadly isn't a Huntley & Palmer one, but it is still a very decorative piece.
08:22It will be the main attraction in a lot, including 30 other tins.
08:27Not a huge value, but I quite like the tins.
08:30They are very attractive, but we still need some big hitters.
08:35Oh, you all right? Yeah, not too bad. Just go through the coins.
08:37Oh yes, the coins. These could be exactly what we're after.
08:41And there's bundles of them, including this.
08:44George V Sovereign from 1925.
08:47Not too shabby.
08:48But with so many, Jack will need to carefully sort through the rest back at the sale room.
08:54I'll let you get loaded up.
08:55Perfect.
08:56Get him on the van, Jack. And Angus, continue the hunt.
09:00There's lots of stamp albums.
09:02Nice.
09:02But this is the sort of album that we like to see.
09:06Even better.
09:07Generally Victorian, sort of Edwardian, early Georgian.
09:10That is where the real value is from stamp collectors, is those earlier stamps.
09:13And this album contains a lot of penny reds.
09:17The penny red took over from the penny black, which was the first ever adhesive stamp.
09:21The penny red came in in 1841.
09:23And it remained the same design until 1876.
09:27And then different designs came in.
09:29So there are very subtle differences.
09:32Most penny reds aren't worth a great deal.
09:34I don't think we've got the rare, rare ones in there.
09:37They've all been stamped.
09:38So they have less of a value if they had been fresh, unused.
09:41But there's a lot of them.
09:43And lovely album.
09:44This would certainly stand on its own as a single lot.
09:47Probably pushing £100, something like that.
09:49And there are four more lots here, which will hopefully tot up the cash.
09:55For the next two hours, Angus and Jack go into overdrive.
09:59You know, sucks it up and down there, too.
10:01We are, we are.
10:02Interesting mix of items.
10:04You know, some are going to sell better than others.
10:08A lot of modern bits, but collectible.
10:10Including over 60 box die-cast toy vehicles
10:14made by Matchbox models of Yesteryear and Lido.
10:19Just going to keep loading the van.
10:21With lots of goodies, like hundreds of postcards
10:24and photos of the local Malvern area.
10:27I think it's going to be alright, this job.
10:29Especially given there's a haul of jewellery
10:31that the auction houses bling expert Charlotte
10:34can get her teeth into later.
10:37For now, though...
10:39Well done.
10:40Enough coins for you, Jack.
10:42Yeah, there's enough.
10:48Come on through to your bedroom.
10:50Thank you very much.
10:51Wow.
10:51Oh, wow.
10:52Can't believe how much you've taken with you.
10:54We have got our bedroom back for a bit.
10:56Yeah, for a bit.
10:56Do you think your dad would be happy seeing it go to other people?
10:59Yeah, I think he would be.
11:01And if it can help fund a trip to Sardinia, you can raise a glass to Dad.
11:06Exactly.
11:07Yeah.
11:08Well, we look forward to seeing you on sale though.
11:10No, thank you very much.
11:11No problem at all.
11:12See you later.
11:13Take care.
11:13Bye.
11:16It's empty.
11:16It is.
11:18Seeing all the items go, it's quite sad really.
11:22Yeah, it's like almost an end of an era.
11:24To see it go on a journey now and hopefully it'll go to people that are collectors like my dad
11:30was.
11:31Colin's put a brave face on today, but I think it has been tough.
11:34There's a lot of work to do at the sale room.
11:35There's going to be a lot of lots, a lot of coins to check, but I think, you know, it's
11:39going to do all right.
11:41Hopefully, once the hundreds of items are sorted through, after a rocky few years,
11:46they'll help serve up that long-awaited honeymoon in Sardinia.
12:04Well then, Ewan, are you all right?
12:05I'm all right, how are you?
12:07Back at the Auction House, hundreds of Christine and Colin's items are served up to Angus's waiting staff,
12:14who'll spend the next week cataloguing it all in time for Auction Day.
12:20Ooh, what have we got here?
12:22Auction House jewellery expert Charlotte has found that stash of bling and is giving junior valuer Charlotte a lesson.
12:29This is a double snake ring.
12:31That's really pretty. Victorian in style.
12:34Yeah, this is obviously a more modern one, but snake rings were really popular in Victorian times
12:38because Queen Victoria actually had a snake engagement ring, and then obviously everyone else wanted one.
12:44But the symbolism of the snake actually dates back to Greeks and Romans.
12:48They saw it as a symbol of eternal love and good fortune.
12:51I can see that with this ring, it's like intertwined.
12:55What carat gold is this?
12:56It's 18, and it's obviously inset with diamonds, so I think we're sort of looking at about 350 to 450
13:02pounds on that at least.
13:04It's a spectacular piece.
13:07And that's not all.
13:09There are three other jewellery lots, including this 18-carat gold necklace that belonged to Colin's mum,
13:15potentially worth a whopping 1,200 pounds.
13:20We've got some coins here from Colin's dad's main collection, and you've got this little small lot of American coins.
13:27So you've got the 1877 quarter dollar here, and that's the highest content grade for American silver, which is 0
13:34.900.
13:35Meaning this is 90% silver.
13:38It's quite a nice design, actually, on the eagle there.
13:41And then you've got the mercury-headed dime, a smaller silver weight.
13:45We've also got this quite interesting 1848 one-cent, because there's some early ones.
13:50You've got a nice little lot there at about 30 to 50.
13:53Success from the US.
13:55Moving on, you've got one lot there, which is predominantly pre-1920 GB silver content.
14:00That's old British coins to you and me.
14:02All of these coins are 0.925, which is pretty much the highest silver content you can get.
14:0992.5% silver.
14:11The silver price always does well.
14:14Ka-ching!
14:15That'll also help add some serious readies to Colin and Christine's holiday fund.
14:23A bit exciting.
14:25It is, isn't it?
14:26Morning, how are we doing? How are we feeling?
14:29A bit nervous, just interesting to see.
14:30Hopefully it goes to other collectors as well.
14:32Yeah.
14:33They'll appreciate it like my dad did look.
14:35Good.
14:35Any particular item or...?
14:37I suppose the record, because that was the one's personal for my dad, like, yeah.
14:41Well, why don't you come on in and have a look round?
14:43Okay.
14:44Thank you very much.
14:46Oh, wow.
14:46Look at that.
14:47Yeah, I think they've got an interesting mix of items.
14:50We've got a coin section, we've got stamps.
14:51There's all those penny reds there, look.
14:53It's amazing how much stuff there is, actually, isn't there?
14:55You know, there's one or two things that might be a bit tricky.
14:57His dad's Glenn Miller collection.
15:00I'm hopeful that we can do quite well and raise a reasonable sub.
15:03A little bit of emotion there, just walking round Dad's stuff, really.
15:06Brings back a lot of memories, so hopefully Angus will be able to do us good.
15:10We'll probably be lucky to get a couple of grand.
15:14So much better than nothing, so we'll be all right.
15:16Yeah.
15:16Yeah.
15:18Well, here to help you make the most money possible are Millie and Jasper, overseeing the online
15:23bids, and already practising portring is Ashley.
15:28But no money can be made without Angus.
15:34We go onto this lovely collection in the shadow of the Malvern Hills.
15:39Here we go.
15:41First up, does anyone have a penchant for things that are pretty and practical?
15:47It's the large collection of vintage tins.
15:49Where should it be?
15:51£20, start me.
15:52£20 a bit.
15:52Two, two, two.
15:5322 it is, then at 22.
15:54At 22.
15:5525.
15:5528.
15:5628 pound it is, then at 28.
15:57We're all done.
15:58Gonna sell away then at 28.
16:00I'm gonna sell then at 28 pounds.
16:03Not the strongest start.
16:06Tins, you wouldn't think they'd go for any, would you, really?
16:08But Colin's happy, and there's 56 lots still to go.
16:13Up now...
16:14Onto the stamps.
16:15We've got some good stamps.
16:16It's the album containing over 500 penny reds.
16:21There we go.
16:21Where should it be for this?
16:22£50 straight at it.
16:23£50 at 50.
16:24Let's go.
16:255, 5, 60, 65, 75, 75, 75, 80, 80, 5, 5, 5, 85, 90, 5, 100.
16:32100, 100 it's out.
16:34At 100 pound it is, then at 100 pounds it is, then at 100 at 100.
16:38One cent, one cent, one cent.
16:40At one cent it is, then at one cent, at 110.
16:42Gavel's up, at 110.
16:4620 quid over the estimate.
16:48Things are looking up already.
16:51My dad's been collecting money.
16:52Awesome free pay.
16:53Angus then sends four more stamp lots under his gavel, including...
16:59At 55 gavels up.
17:02Albums containing 19th century Commonwealth stamps.
17:06Gavels up at 70.
17:09An assortment of 20th century British and international stamps and...
17:15300.
17:18Three albums containing penny blacks and 300 more penny reds.
17:23I think we can say Angus truly licked that lot.
17:2630.
17:27That's all, yeah.
17:29Can Angus keep coining it in with the pre-1920s British silver coins?
17:34Oh, this is good, isn't it?
17:36Uh, where should it be for this?
17:37300 pounds.
17:38300.
17:39320.

18:01At 480.
18:04Rule Britannia.
18:05980.
18:05That was a good one.
18:07Angus then spends 10 minutes rolling 12 more coin lots out the door.
18:12Among them.
18:13Selling at 42.
18:14The American collection including that one cent from 1848.
18:21520.
18:22And the George V 1925 sovereign.
18:29That was a good one.
18:30That was a good one.

19:08The 18 carat there.
19:09That's a good thing there.
19:10Where should we be for this?
19:12Got 920.
19:1340.
19:1460.
19:141,050.
19:151,050.
19:161,100 and bid.
19:18At 1,100 then.
19:19We're all done at 1,100.
19:21And the sell to the sell.
19:2220.
19:231,120 then.
19:241,120 at 1,120.
19:26At 1,120 at the back of the room selling at 1,120.
19:33More cash for the holiday fund.
19:35Didn't you like that?
19:36Yeah.
19:36I couldn't believe that.
19:37And over the next 40 minutes, Angus dispatches 34 more lots, including...
19:43Gavels up at 160.
19:46The big bundle of postcards and photos of Malvern.
19:50In the room at 42.
19:53And the matchbox models of Yesteryear and Lido die-cast vehicles.
20:00Crazy.
20:02All that's left is Colling's dad's beloved record collection.
20:06Oh, here we go.
20:07My dad's favourite.
20:08Starting with that vast trove of regular vinyl.
20:12Predominantly Glenn Miller.
20:1430 pounds start me.
20:1530 pounds.
20:15Come on.
20:17Yes.
20:1730 pound a bid at 30 it is then.
20:1832, 2, 2, 32.
20:205, 5.
20:2035 pounds I've got online at 35 pounds.
20:2235 it is then at 35.
20:2435.
20:26Off they go to be played again in a new home.
20:30That was good, yeah.
20:32Yeah.
20:33Finally, the last lot.
20:34The V-discs.
20:36This will be interesting.
20:37You don't see these too often.
20:38And I've got four commission bits.
20:41Okay.
20:41I've got 60.
20:42I've got 80.
20:43I've got 100.
20:44I've got 110.
20:46At 110.
20:46For the V-discs there at 110 it is then at 110.
20:4920.
20:5030.
20:5140.
20:5150.
20:52160.
20:53170.
20:54170 it's up then.
20:55170 pound it is then.
20:57180 just in time.
20:58190.
20:59At 190 pounds it is then.
21:01Don't mistake it.
21:01Gabble's up at 190.
21:0360.
21:05Fantastic result.
21:06These discs of dads will be going to a new owner in good old Yorkshire.
21:11That's good, wouldn't it?
21:12Yeah.
21:13Oh, that was the last one.
21:14Over here.
21:15You done?
21:16Caught off guard there, Angus.
21:18But can you surprise Colin and Christine when you reveal how much you've made for them?
21:36Hi.
21:37Are you all right?
21:38Yeah, good.
21:39Yeah.
21:40How was that?
21:40I was reading the facial expressions.
21:43Yeah.
21:43Quite a few surprises in there.
21:45The necklace.
21:46Yeah.
21:46The gold 18 karat gold necklace.
21:49Yeah.
21:49Yeah.
21:49Because I mean that was just, I didn't even know.
21:52Well we didn't know it was even in there.
21:53That sort of gold right, yeah I mean.
21:55But it's nice to see it go.
21:56I hope it's gone to some collectors, you know.
21:58Yeah.
21:58Well, I suppose I'd best tell you what you're going to be taking home after fees.
22:01Go on then.
22:03£5,312.
22:04Wow.
22:04Wow.
22:05Okay.
22:05That's good isn't it?
22:07Go book the holiday.
22:08Yeah.
22:09Brilliant.
22:10I'm happy with that.
22:11That's really good.
22:11That is good, thank you.
22:12Excellent.
22:13Thank you very much.
22:13Well enjoy your holidays.
22:16I thought that went really well.
22:18It was amazing.
22:19I felt well surprised when he actually came out and said about the total didn't you?
22:22Oh yeah.
22:23We were hoping it was going to be a million.
22:25We'll take the five.
22:26We'll enjoy the five.
22:27We'll go away on holiday won't we?
22:28It's a good interesting mix of items and I'm pleased we got the records away.
22:32I thought they'd be a bit of a hard sell but they've gone to a good home.
22:35And that's a good sum for them to have that fantastic over June honeymoon.
22:51Good afternoon the Yorkshire auction house.
22:53Oh hi Jo.
22:54Hi Angus, how are you?
22:56I'm all right.
22:57I'm just on my way to Keithley to look at her job.
23:01Just, I didn't see Jack this morning.
23:03His two o'clock appointment rang.
23:05Can you let him know they're going to be there about three?
23:07OK.
23:08I'll tell him.
23:08Cheers Jo.
23:09Yeah.
23:10Thanks.
23:11Bye.
23:11With his capable team looking after the busy auction house, Angus is going solo to his
23:17next job, two hours over the Dales into West Yorkshire.
23:22Imagine if I broke one.
23:24Well you're telling me mum I'm not.
23:27He's meeting Julie and her niece Angela in the bungalow Julie's parents Neil and Maureen
23:33lived in for nearly 40 years.
23:36Mum and Dad just fell in love with this house.
23:39It's like a TARDIS and it's always been a really happy busy home.
23:42We all get on really well.
23:44We're all, yeah.
23:45Crazy.
23:46Yeah.
23:49Angela's granddad Neil held a special place in her heart.
23:53My mum ended up being a single parent so my granddad stepped in to make sure that I never
23:58went without having the father figure in my life.
24:00When Neil was 66, the whole tight knit family's lives changed forever.
24:07Granddad actually had a heart attack and he ended up with vascular dementia.
24:12So granddad ended up going into a care home.
24:15It progressed quite quick.
24:18We lost Dad October two years ago.
24:21It'll be three years in October, won't it?
24:24Yeah.
24:24Yeah.
24:29It was just extremely hard and emotional.
24:36Nana was here on her own, it's such a big house.
24:38So we downsized her and she now lives at the, literally the end of my street so she's nice
24:43and close to me.
24:44The treasured family home is now for sale, quirks included.
24:50The bar room is nicknamed the Dog and Jug.
24:53My dad used to breed English Bull Terriers and has ornaments of them.
24:59And my mum's collected jugs for years and years and years from all over the planet.
25:04I wonder how many of them so many.
25:05In China.
25:10Julie and Angela have started to help clear the house.
25:14But are now finding it rough going with all the items they don't know what to do with.
25:20We have no idea what anything's worth.
25:22The jugs, coins, the dogs, whiskies.
25:26It's just too big a job.
25:30Here it is, right.
25:32Well nothing's too big for our Angus.
25:35Yes.
25:35I hope.
25:43Hi.
25:43Morning, are you alright?
25:45Yes, thank you.
25:45Come on in.
25:46Thank you very much, cheers.
25:52How is it that we can help today?
25:54This was a family home for over 40 years.
25:59Wow, okay.
25:59Angie's nana, my mum, ended up on Aronia after we lost Dad and it's too big and too isolated.
26:05Yeah.
26:06And everything they collected over the years, we need help because we just have no clue.
26:12So a bit of direction to what's worth selling.
26:15I'm sure we can help with that.
26:16Yeah.
26:16Look at that fruit there.
26:18The dog and jug.
26:19So this has really been the hub of the whole family.
26:21Definitely.
26:22Party hub.
26:23I can see why.
26:24Well let's get this party started.
26:28That's it Angus, get the lay of the land.
26:30The rooms may not be bursting, so you'll need to rummage for the valuables.
26:35First impressions?
26:37This is a family home, through and through.
26:39So it will be a little bit emotional, I think.
26:41It's not going to be a massive job.
26:42There'll be a few bits that we can get gathered up, but yeah, we'll see how we get on.
26:49I mean really today is about extracting the items of value and they can certainly come
26:53out very much on the Bull Terrier theme bookends.
26:56They're a cast metal, bronze on a marble base.
26:59They're quite nice.
27:00Those together as a pair, probably about 30 to 50.
27:03Not a poor start.
27:10Julie? Angie?
27:14Yeah?
27:15I found the coin collection.
27:16Oh, excellent.
27:17I mean it's all sort of British coinage, some are going right back with different monarchs
27:22on them, which is a real nice sort of history timeline if you like.
27:25So what sort of sparked the interest in coins?
27:28My mum thought I fancied one of those coins.
27:30I'm going to buy your grandad one too.
27:32Do you know which is the first one?
27:33I think it's in this box.
27:36Let me have a look.
27:37Yes.
27:38The Nelson one.
27:39The Nelson one.
27:40And they say it actually came from the HMS Victoria ship.
27:43Arguably one of the most famous ships in British history.
27:48Yeah, yeah.
27:48You know, Lord Nelson's flagship, Battle of Trafalgar where he was shot and killed.
27:52I mean it's that sort of crowded, you can't really make out what the coin is.
27:56That's an original coin, probably just a copper penny, something like that.
28:01Possibly dating back to the 1800s, this original copper coin is in a set alongside coins made
28:07in 2005 celebrating Nelson.
28:11These ones here are silver, these two are gold, so there's some reasonable value there.
28:17Reasonable?
28:18They could be worth 540 quid.
28:21And along with another seven lots of coins, this could seriously add up.
28:25Whatever is made is obviously for mum, maybe try and talk her into a trip.
28:30So all her family's from Limerick in Ireland and she's not been back there for a lot of years.
28:34So I'd love to take her back to there.
28:36Lovely idea.
28:38Angus, what else can we sell?
28:40Well that stands out on the mantelpiece.
28:42It's a lovely piece of serpentine stone.
28:45It's a hard stone that is found around the world but you also find it in Lizard Point Cornwall.
28:54Cornish serpentine is a metamorphic rock formed by the collision of tectonic plates
28:59beneath the earth's surface 400 million years ago.
29:03We see things carved out of it.
29:05We do see a lot of lighthouses and what's really nice is you've got this sort of rough rock here,
29:10which is its natural state and then this has been turned on a lathe and polished
29:14so you get these lovely colours.
29:15Nice Victorian ones can make good money but a 20th century one like this,
29:21you know, 25 to 35, maybe 30 to 50 on a good day.
29:24Lighting the way to some more money.
29:27Now get your hands on those jugs.
29:29Right, that's when I realise it's not good being short.
29:32I think, you know, we will take them all.
29:35The value will be in the collection rather than individually.
29:37I don't know how many there is, it might take me a while.
29:41Hello. Hello.
29:42Would you like a hand?
29:44Er, well, yeah, I mean, if you're happy to pack the jugs.
29:48Yeah, they'll do that.
29:49That would be great and I'll go see what else I can find.
29:51I think we're going to count them out of interest so we can tell them exactly how many.
29:55We also have a sweepstake really, shouldn't we?
29:57Yeah.
29:58What are we going for then?
29:59135.
30:00135.
30:01148.
30:02160.
30:03Ooh.
30:04Start counting ladies.
30:07Get 10 down and then pack them and then we can log as we pack.
30:11That's quite nice.
30:13Ooh, I'm guessing some sort of press.
30:15A Victorian press for doing books.
30:18How heavy is it?
30:20Oh, not so bad.
30:21Don't break a nail.
30:22One of the valuers back at base can have a proper look at that later.
30:28That's my bench press for the day.
30:30Book press, Ben.
30:31No, never mind.
30:34The van's filling up, but there's still space for the jugs.
30:39I mean, you've done a sterling job packing up.
30:41I know, would you like to know how many it is in total?
30:42I would love to know.
30:44I was 135.
30:45I was 148.
30:47That was 160.
30:48162.
30:49Oh!
30:51Oh, what do I win?
30:53A jug!
30:54Take a pick!
30:56And it's not just jugs being served up.
30:58There's Julie's dad's six bottles of single malt whiskies,
31:03including this 24-year-old Tam Navulin distilled in the Scottish Highlands.
31:08There are over 20 Bull Terrier-related bits, including porcelain figures and...
31:17This is a wonderful advertising mirror.
31:20A bass in bottle beer, bass beer.
31:23Founded in 1777 in Staffordshire, Bass and its flagship British Pale Ale became one of the most recognised brewery brands
31:32in the world.
31:33And we've got the Royal Crest there.
31:35I think that's George V's cipher.
31:37So, this is, you know, sort of circa World War One.
31:40So, well over 100 years old.
31:42A little bit of damage, you can see.
31:43We're losing a bit of the mirroring and the paintwork from the back.
31:47But that isn't the end of the world, because that kind of reinforces the fact that it's original.
31:51And actually, the market nowadays is all about that decorative value.
31:54So, I can see that doing well.
31:57I'll have to wait until I get home before I have a beer, though.
32:00Finally, after loading 162 jugs, which Angus reckons could pull in 30 to 60 pounds, the day is done.
32:15It just looks massive without the jugs, doesn't it?
32:17It's not the dog and jug pub anymore, is it?
32:19No, no, it's just the pub.
32:21Yeah.
32:22How are you sort of feeling now, it's all kind of going out?
32:25It just, it feels really bare.
32:26But it needs to go.
32:28So, it's the right time.
32:29Yeah.
32:30Well, hopefully we'll do a right auction and we'll see if we can get a trip to Limerick.
32:33Yay!
32:35Well, you take care and I'll see you on sale then.
32:36Thank you very much.
32:38Safe trip.
32:38Bye.
32:40End of an era?
32:42Yep.
32:43Hopefully, Julie's parents' lifetime's worth of collections will find loving new homes.
32:48It's been a long day, but it's been really interesting.
32:52My dad had a keen eye for things, so we'll just have to trust Angus.
32:57It's been a wonderful day.
32:58The coins, that's where the value is.
33:00But we've also got the jug collection.
33:02Actually, probably to the family, one of the most important bits, the main feature of the bar.
33:07It's also probably the lot that we're going to struggle with the most.
33:11It might be last orders for this lot in Keithley.
33:14But Angus, you're the best, bar none, to find more in this hall back at Kirby Moorside.
33:38Hi, Jack.
33:38Hi, Angus.
33:39Guadjo here.
33:40Interesting job.
33:41Not huge amounts.
33:42Okay.
33:42But you'll be cataloging most of it.
33:44Oh, right.
33:44Okay.
33:44There's 160 jugs.
33:47162, remember?
33:49And coins.
33:50There we go.
33:51Wonderful.
33:53Right.
33:53Let's get prepping this lot for auction.
33:58I really like this.
34:00Ah, Ewan's checking out that press thingy.
34:03This is what you call a book press.
34:05It's basically a form of screw press.
34:07Screw presses have been around since Roman times to make things like wine by pressing the grapes.
34:12So it's a very, very simple device.
34:14You have your book, you have the hard boards on it to protect the pages inside.
34:20And particularly in the 19th century, books were covered with leather or cloth.
34:23You need to glue that down to the boards.
34:25You simply slide the book inside, then you keep it compressed while the glue sets.
34:31I would say that this is almost certainly mid to late 19th century.
34:34And at this time, there was a big movement for self-publishing.
34:37So I'd say this is maybe more of a high-end hobby piece.
34:40It is still, you know, a bit of a niche market.
34:44So I kind of give it a sort of a rough estimate of around 40 to 80.
34:49Here's hoping it impresses someone on sale day.
35:00What a lovely morning.
35:02Glorious.
35:03Morning.
35:03Morning.
35:04Are we all right?
35:04Good morning.
35:06How are we feeling for the auction?
35:07A little bit excited, a little bit nervous.
35:08What are you nervous about?
35:10If nothing sells, I think.
35:12Oh, no, it'll sell.
35:13It'll sell.
35:14Yeah.
35:14And what are you excited about?
35:15To see how my grandad's coins get on.
35:17His coins, yeah.
35:17More than anything for me, yeah.
35:19OK.
35:19Good.
35:20Well, why don't you come on in and have a look round?
35:22Yeah.
35:27A lot of stuff, isn't there?
35:29Yeah.
35:29Old stuff.
35:30Old stuff.
35:31What about Julie and Angela's stuff, Angus?
35:34Are we in for a good day?
35:36They haven't got a lot of lots in.
35:37A small sort of sale, but some good whiskies.
35:40Oh, look.
35:41The table of bowling.
35:42Some good coins in there.
35:43Mmm.
35:44Recognise these and...
35:46Oh, yeah.
35:46It's an end of an era.
35:48For them, really, it was about clearing the property.
35:50But I think they could get a surprise or two today.
35:52There's some good bits.
35:53I'm hopeful we'll do all right.
35:54I'm feeling quite emotional, actually.
35:56It does sound.
35:57Weld me up a little bit, seeing his coins there.
35:59Very exciting at the same time.
36:02You're not the only ones geared up.
36:05The two Charlottes are all set for a multitude of online bidders.
36:10Sophie has already started portering.
36:13And now the main man, Angus, is stepping up to the rostrum.
36:21Well done, morning, ladies and gentlemen.
36:23Oh, morning.
36:24I know.
36:25Sun's out.
36:25We're all sleepy.
36:27Right.
36:27Welcome along.
36:28Going to go on to this lovely collection.
36:31First out the gate...
36:32We have got the bronze bookends.
36:35Bronze and marble bookends.
36:36There we go.
36:36A lot of interest in this, including international bids.
36:39But we're off.
36:4055, 65, 65, 65, 75, 70, 75, 80, 80 pound a bid.
36:4480 it is.
36:44Then an 80 pound a bid.
36:4585, 85, 90, 90 pound a bid and 95.
36:47And 100 a bid.
36:48100 a bid.
36:49100 a bid.
36:50100 a bid.
36:51We're all done.
36:52Up 100 pounds.
36:55Doubled its estimate.
36:57Positive start.
36:5950 quid a bookend.
37:0071, 2, 3.
37:01That's crazy.
37:02Now, who let the dogs out?
37:04Really, really good collection of bull terrier items.
37:06There we go.
37:07Uh, 55, 65, 65, 65, 70 a bid at 70 pounds.
37:1375, 80, 80 pound a bid.
37:1585, 85, 90, 90 a bid at 90 pound.
37:1895, 100.
37:19100 pound a bid at 110.
37:21At 110, the bull terriers are popular, aren't they?
37:23At 120.
37:24120 it is.
37:25130 it is.
37:26You're gonna sell the bull terriers at 130.
37:30Fetched.
37:30A pretty penny.
37:32We won't be taking anything home, will we?
37:34Well, not so far, no Julie.
37:37And fingers crossed for this, your dad's treasured Lord Nelson coin collection.
37:43Nice set this, isn't it?
37:45Uh, we'll open at 420.
37:45Can I bid for this one?
37:47No.
37:47420.
37:48Opening bid.
37:49At 420 it is.

42:23Angela wanted to make enough money to take her nan on a big family trip to Limerick.
42:28How much has Angus raised for them?
42:31Hello.
42:32Hello.
42:33Was that right?
42:34Yeah, that were crazy.
42:35Bids coming in, you know.
42:37Yeah, and there were some room bits as well.
42:38Yeah, and there were some room bits as well.
42:39That were nice.
42:40Well, those areas are obviously very popular.
42:42Massive.
42:42Yeah.
42:43And the coins, of course.
42:44Yeah.
42:45Yeah.
42:45That were emotional for me.
42:46Yeah.
42:47Yeah.
42:47I mean, it's a bit of an end of the nearer, isn't it?
42:49Yeah, definitely.
42:50So, if we get a reasonable sum, that's a good trip to Ireland.
42:53Yeah, it'd be really nice.
42:54Yeah.
42:54Well, after fees, you'll be taking home £2,253.
42:58Ah, excellent.
42:59Amazing.
43:00Thank you very much.
43:00No, no, probably not.
43:01Thank you very much.
43:02I think Mum will be really, really pleased.
43:03I think she'll be there.
43:04She'll be happy with that.
43:05Well, thank you very much.
43:06It's been an absolute pleasure.
43:07It was really good.
43:08It was exciting and something different.
43:10I hope Mum will be happy with how much it's raised, because we've no real expectations.
43:14I think she'll be gobsmacked about the bookends.
43:17Yeah, I think she will.
43:18We got some really good results.
43:19I think they had some surprises.
43:21The item I loved more than anything was that mirror, and that sold really well.
43:24So, really pleased.
43:26And I think, you know, there's enough there to get that trip to Ireland.
43:28It's been a great day.
43:43I think, you know, it was going through the bookends in Norway.
43:47You look up, there's all these beautiful services.
43:47There, there's not a lot of things that we can do in the bookends.
43:48You look up, it's the best I love.
43:48And it's the best in the bookends.
43:50But I think it's my fault.
43:51I think it's my fault.
43:51I think it's my fault.
43:52I know you.
43:52You
