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, just...
00:09Because our favourite auctioneer is back with a bang.
00:14Angus's customers are happier than ever.
00:17All right!
00:19And the jobs are bigger than ever.
00:22At the end of the rainbow, there's might be some treasure.
00:25With the help and support...
00:26Oh, I can't break.
00:27Of his talented team...
00:30I think it's in need of a bit of a tune.
00:32He's taking on even more jam-packed homes.
00:35There's a lot, isn't there?
00:36Finding priceless treasures...
00:38Oh, my word! Some box of gold! This is fantastic!
00:42Fascinating curios...
00:43How heavy is it?
00:44Well, not so bad.
00:47Cherished collections...
00:48End of an era?
00:49Oh.
00:50Didn't really expect to get emotional then.
00:52And family heirlooms.
00:54Could that go to auction?
00:55That could go.
00:56Oh, you've made my day. Thank you very much.
00:58Then, using his knowledge and expertise...
01:01One of the highest orders of gallantry there is.
01:03And his gift of the gavel...
01:06At 1,550.
01:08You look tempted, sir.
01:09You do.
01:10He delivers a fantastic...
01:122,000 pounds.
01:14Cash.
01:15All done at 4,000.
01:17Ooh!
01:19Bonanza.
01:20I like it when it goes up like that.
01:29Very, very hard-wearing wood.
01:31But...
01:32Is it as old as it looks?
01:33Because it says here, Charles II.
01:36With around 50 sale days a year,
01:38the auction house needs a constant supply of treasures,
01:42antiques and collectibles.
01:44Right, well, are we off to, then?
01:46Well, are we going to a village near Bath?
01:48Oh, so there's going to be some nice architecture, then.
01:50OK, I know it's not Yorkshire,
01:51but it is probably my favourite city in the UK.
01:54Which is why a clearly delirious Angus
01:57will actually be travelling with his valuer, Jack,
02:00to a village 20 miles north of Bath.
02:03That was when we were at Hicks's Oyster Bar and...
02:09Oh, in Lyme Regis?
02:10Lyme Regis.
02:11Yes.
02:12They're meeting Louise and her daughter Claudia.
02:15And we stayed in that wonderful house, didn't we?
02:18They moved here with Claudia's sister, Alexandra, in 2002,
02:23a date Louise will always remember.
02:26I wheeled the bin out of my front door,
02:29and at exactly the same time John was here,
02:33putting out his bin.
02:35We looked up, he walked over the road, introduced himself.
02:39We both ascertained very quickly that we were both single,
02:44and the rest is history.
02:46Indeed, in 2010, they got married.
02:49Look what I found.
02:51Oh, let's have a look at these.
02:53Oh, wow.
02:55Alexandra on her scooter.
02:58John took it upon himself to leap on your bicycle
03:00and chase her around the courtyard.
03:01And do you love that photograph?
03:03It did.
03:03He's always loved that photograph.
03:05Nice memories.
03:06Yeah.
03:07It was in 2024 that the lives of this close-knit family were shattered.
03:13We had 22 incredibly happy, happy years.
03:20And he died 22 years to the day I met him, 22nd of June.
03:27He loved being with his family.
03:30He also had a great sense of humour and a true gentleman.
03:33A true gentleman.
03:37Now, with both girls having long flown the nest
03:40and a year on from John's death,
03:43the family's former home is just too big for Louise.
03:46I will be downsizing.
03:49Luckily for me, the downsizing and moving will be very straightforward.
03:53It is a case of walking out of one front door,
03:56doing ten steps across the road and into the next front door.
04:00But moving from a seven-bedroom, three-reception room house to a cottage
04:04means Louise will need to lose some stuff.
04:08I think Mum could do with support,
04:11with just going through the amount of things that she has
04:15and just help to collate what is important to her and what isn't.
04:21Well, Claudia, you can rest assured Angus is your man.
04:25Now, where is he?
04:28Oh, look at this.
04:30Oh, stunning, isn't it?
04:32Oh, there's an estate agent's there, Jack.
04:34Do you want to stop and just have a quick look?
04:35Yeah, let's have a look.
04:38Eyes on the price, chaps.
04:40It's Louise you're here to see.
04:43No, I'm staying in Yorkshire, actually.
04:44I've seen the price tags.
04:50Oh, here we are.
04:53Lovely.
04:54Perfect.
04:59Good knock, is that?
05:00That is.
05:02Morning!
05:03Angus, morning, Jack.
05:04Good morning.
05:06It's lovely to be here.
05:07Sunshine.
05:07Please, come in.
05:08Thank you very much.
05:10Oh, well, it's wonderful to be here.
05:13We recognise it straight away.
05:14You said the one with the boat.
05:15Correct.
05:16I've lived here for the last 22 years.
05:18Prior to that, this house has been within my husband's family for three generations.
05:23Oh, wow.
05:23OK, so it really is.
05:25A lot of history in the house.
05:25Beautiful.
05:25So are you happy for me to just have a look round and see what we can do?
05:29Absolutely.
05:30And we need to crack on.
05:32It's a five-hour trip back to North Yorkshire, and there are all those bedrooms, reception
05:37rooms, and a garden to explore.
05:41Jack, you get the van prepped.
05:44Angus, you do your thing.
05:49There's loads of stuff I love.
05:51Period house with period things in it.
05:58That's a quality head cup.
06:00And it's silver.
06:01Look at that.
06:02This lovely sort of Celtic border on it there.
06:05The dragons.
06:06And it's got them marked there.
06:08Adai Brothers in Birmingham.
06:11The company was founded in 1879, and this was made in 1935.
06:18I think if we put that with a couple of little bits, we can make a real nice lot of
06:22little
06:23silver pieces.
06:24Good stuff.
06:26There are three more silver lots, including a collection of 1930 spoons.
06:31Looking good for auction day.
06:40That's nice, Jack.
06:42I like that.
06:47That's what I've got.
06:50Oh, an 1821 crown.
06:51Yeah.
06:51I've got an 1821.
06:53You had to just do one better, didn't you?
06:56These sterling silver crowns were five shillings in old money, 25p today.
07:01Back then, one of these could buy a silk hanky or pay a tradesman's wages for a day.
07:07You know, the market for those is quite good, aren't they?
07:09If it was mint, I'd say 800 to 1200, possibly more.
07:13Unfortunately, the one I've got has had a bit of a hard life, and it looks like yours
07:17has got quite a bit of fading.
07:18So I'd probably put the two together.
07:20And to think, these coins could have been here in circulation in this house all that time.
07:24Completely, yes.
07:25Yeah.
07:26Wonderful.
07:27Okay, well, I'll give you that coin, Jack.
07:29Perfect.
07:29I'll let you look after those.
07:30That's great.
07:31Don't go spending it all at once.
07:33No.
07:34I wonder how Louise plans to spend any money she makes from these.
07:39It's nothing to do with the money.
07:41I feel very strongly I would like to give some to charity,
07:44and to spend some time with my children, grandson, and just have a nice meal out.
07:52What a lovely plan.
07:55Angus, more things, please.
07:57This is wonderful.
07:58It's what we call a strapwork bench.
08:01Strapwork benches and furniture really is sort of from the Regency period,
08:05sort of early, mid-19th century.
08:07Now, this isn't an original one, sadly, but it is very much on brand for this house.
08:13People aren't necessarily bothered if things are antique or not.
08:16If it's the right look, then it will sell.
08:19And this ticks all those boxes.
08:21And when you've got a garden like this, a house like this, and a street like this,
08:25you need a bench like this.
08:33Over the next two hours...
08:36Got it?
08:36Yeah.
08:37Angus.
08:38We're not having the show's lunch.
08:39The pair of lamps.
08:40The pair of lamps, that.
08:41We'll have those.
08:43And Jack...
08:44Doesn't look like it should be that heavy, but it is.
08:47Take anything else of value, including a 20th century pine butcher's block.
08:53No longer the boathouse.
08:56And the model yacht, which was a present from Claudia to John.
09:03The boys are filling up the van nicely,
09:05but apparently there are more things over the road in Louisa's future home.
09:15That's nice.
09:17This is what we call an icon, a religious icon.
09:21And it's basically a panel of wood, sometimes you see them on tin, and they were painted
09:25and decorated with saints and things like that, and various sort of religious symbols or figures.
09:31This is probably a late 19th century one, so not ancient.
09:34Icons are religious works of art depicting Christian themes.
09:39Believers call them windows into heaven.
09:42This one seems to be for followers of the Russian Orthodox Church.
09:46The vast majority will sell for their depressive value.
09:50Quite nice, is that?
09:51Amen.
09:57With the last few things packed in the van, the day is finished.
10:05Right, that's just done I think.
10:12Right, I think we're all loaded up and ready to go.
10:14Thank you for everything you've done today, it's been a great help.
10:17That's alright.
10:17There's a bit from here and a bit from there.
10:19Perfect.
10:20Get you on towards moving a little bit.
10:23Every small step is a step forward, so yeah, it's been a great help.
10:28Wonderful.
10:29Well, we'll hit the road and we'll see you on sale though.
10:31Thank you very much.
10:32See what we can do.
10:33That's excellent.
10:34Thank you so much.
10:35When I see things have gone that I've been absolutely used to living with for many, many,
10:42many years, it will hit home.
10:44But I'm determined to put a positive attitude on everything in that it is a step moving forward.
10:52Louise, let me take an interesting mix of items.
10:54She's got a long way to go yet before she's fully ready to move across the road, but this
11:01is getting Louise on that journey.
11:03Let's get back now, get it all sorted, see what we can do with it, see if we can raise
11:08some funds as well.
11:09Good day.
11:10Well done.
11:11With 300 items to sort, Angus's team will be at full stretch.
11:15I'm pretty sure they'll uncover even more valuable curios within this hall.
11:36Okay, Jack.
11:38How was your trip?
11:39Yeah, not too bad.
11:41The collection from Louise's Houses has arrived back at Kirby Moorside.
11:46It's not going to fall off, is it?
11:47No, it should be okay as a while.
11:49After everything is unloaded, it'll be researched, written up, put into lots and photographed
11:56for the auction catalogue.
11:59Right, perfect.
12:00Right, okay.
12:01It's a cake plate.
12:03It's a bit of an Angus-sized portion, that one really, isn't it?
12:06Valuer Vanya is always ready to share her knowledge with junior valuers like Ewan.
12:12It's a piece of Emma Bridgewater pottery.
12:14Okay.
12:15Emma Bridgewater is really popular.
12:18I can see it's going to have a cross appeal, really, because this particular design is designed
12:23by Mary Fedden, and she's a British artist.
12:27Okay.
12:27She's famous for very cutesy paintings of animals.
12:32Designer Emma Bridgewater befriended artist Mary Fedden in the late 1990s.
12:38Mary was famous for her paintings of still lives, flowers, and animals.
12:43This is a lion, and it was based upon hand-stitched toys Mary made for friends and family when
12:50they would have children.
12:52This is really fun.
12:53I like this.
12:53So, is this a particularly collectible piece, this one?
12:56It's a design that wasn't out for very long, and discontinued designs of Emma Bridgewater,
13:03and they can be quite collectible.
13:05Okay, yeah.
13:06But there is a slight defect here, there's a line of crazing there.
13:10Crazing is tiny cracks in the glaze.
13:13It's probably been caused by a change in temperature, pressure, but I still think it's got a collectible
13:18value, even with that damage.
13:20Yeah, yeah.
13:20Okay.
13:21So, what kind of estimate would you put on this?
13:23I'm going to put a low estimate of 30 to 50 on this.
13:26Interesting.
13:31What have you got there, Angus?
13:33This very impressive, large bronze Japanese vase, most likely the Meiji period, it was 1868
13:41to 1912.
13:42Japan opened up to the rest of the world, and we see these wonderful artworks coming out,
13:47and metal work, very good metal workers.
13:49Emperor Meiji oversaw a period of political reform and industrialisation.
13:56It began a mania in our own Victorian era, for all things Japanese.
14:01We've got all the classic designs, the koi carp, the samurai figure, the blossom trees.
14:06Quite possibly would have been a pair originally, quite often they were made in pairs, but it
14:10stands well as a standalone piece.
14:12It's probably sort of 70 to 100, maybe a bit more on a good note.
14:15You know, it is a big piece, but yeah, nice thing.
14:25You've not been to an auction, I know.
14:26This is your first time.
14:28Well, I'm excited.
14:30Morning.
14:30Good morning, Angus.
14:31This is Alexandra.
14:33Alexandra, yeah.
14:34Wonderful.
14:34My younger daughter.
14:35I've met the whole team now.
14:37How are we feeling?
14:38Great.
14:39But I've never been to an auction where I'm actually telling my own stuff.
14:43Great.
14:43Well, you'll have a fun day.
14:44You know, it'll be good.
14:45Well, why don't you come on in and have a look round?
14:46Thank you, Angus.
14:48The souring's just straight free.
14:50I'll catch up with you in a bit.
14:51Lovely.
14:53Wow.
14:54Wow, wow, wow.
14:55Ooh.
14:56Louise and Alexandra have a not inconsiderable 62 lots in today's auction.
15:02I've got fond memories of this.
15:04I'm quite sad to see that go, but I just haven't got room for it when I downsize.
15:09Feeling confident, Angus?
15:11Oh, I'm really looking forward to this.
15:13We've got an interesting mix of items.
15:15Oh, look, the boat.
15:16Love the boat.
15:17John loved the boat.
15:18But it's big and it looked great in the window in the house.
15:24Certain things should sell well.
15:25We've got the butcher's block.
15:27That's a good thing.
15:28The plate here.
15:29Oh, you remember that?
15:30That was in the kitchen cupboard.
15:32Oh, yes.
15:32But it wasn't really my...
15:34I don't know.
15:34I never really found a use for it.
15:36They look more attractive when you see them all laid out at auction.
15:39What's that saying about my display?
15:40I'm not saying.
15:42Should be a good day, but you never know.
15:45Well, we're all about to find out.
15:47Hundreds of online bidders are raring to go.
15:50All refereed by Emma and Heather.
15:53Ashley is acting as Porter today.

17:53I can't believe it's all going.
17:55That's great.
17:57Now, model boat anyone?
18:00The yachts from the window.

18:19It is.
18:20It's lovely.
18:21I mean it would look really well in your house.

18:50Gavel up.

19:47I'm out.
19:47Commission's out.
19:48150.
19:48We're all done for the icon at 150.
19:53Bless you Angus.
19:55That's great.
19:58Amazing.
19:5961 lots have flown out the door.
20:02Angus's mission was to help Louise downsize.
20:05But what we want to know is, how much is she going home with?
20:09What's your news Angus?
20:23Hello.
20:24Hello.
20:25Thank you very much.
20:25That's all right.
20:26Wonderfully entertaining.
20:28Successful.
20:29I was just saying, I had great fun.
20:31I know.
20:32Well I suppose I must tell you, after fees, you'll be taking home £4,120.
20:37What?
20:38Oh my God.
20:40Oh my God.
20:42That's unbelievable.
20:43You're actually quite shocked aren't you?
20:45I am.
20:46£50 here, £100 there.
20:47It soon tops up.
20:48It's only right and fair.
20:50Yeah.
20:50That a good donation is made to charity.
20:53And the rest of the money will be spent on family time to remember those that are no longer
21:02with us, that have contributed towards it.
21:04Towards it.
21:04Wonderful.
21:04I think that's a great idea and I hope you have a good time.
21:08It's been an absolute pleasure.
21:10Thank you very much.
21:11We were happy to see things sold.
21:13We are happy that we've made this decision.
21:16It's been a family decision.
21:17Slowly I'm getting to move across the road.
21:20So all round, happy feelings.
21:23Oh, really pleased the sale.
21:25They were genuinely shocked with how much money they raised.
21:29I'm glad I've done a good job because I don't think Louise can fit all the things from
21:32the big house in the cottage.
21:34You never know.
21:34I might be having a trip back in the future.
21:44Where are we off to today?
21:46Pontefract.
21:46I've heard of it.
21:47Never been.
21:48Famous for?
21:49No clue.
21:50Pontefract cakes.
21:52Okay.
21:53I feel like most of the places you take me, they do have some sort of cake or biscuit.
21:58They're licorice sweets actually, Ewan.
22:02But Angus shouldn't need a sugar rush today.
22:05It's only an hour and a quarter from Kerbinboreside to Pontefract.
22:11There's only a few things in here but they're quite nice.
22:14They're meeting Linda, her daughter-in-law Wendy and son Chris.
22:20There's a picture of me and Pat on the beach together when we were children.
22:25Pat was Linda's cousin.
22:27Pat was lovely.
22:28We were more like sisters than cousins.
22:31I was an only child.
22:33Our fathers were brothers.
22:35Her and I grew up together.
22:36We went to the same schools.
22:38She was always part of my life.
22:40She was always there.
22:41They lived for years just minutes from each other in Portland, Dorset.
22:46Pat was Chrissie's godmother as well.
22:49A force to be reckoned with really.
22:51I remember when Pat used to visit us at home.
22:55Sorry.
22:56Do you need a tissue?
22:57I'll be fine.
22:59They used to love Aunty Pat coming to visit them because she was larger than life.
23:05But aged 79, she was admitted to hospital.
23:09Pat had severe diabetes and all sorts of things went wrong.
23:14Her heart, her kidneys, everything went wrong.
23:17And eventually she was bedridden.
23:20It was very hard.
23:24Pat passed away in June 2024, leaving Linda isolated down south.
23:31Oh, that's in the office in the treasury.
23:34So son and daughter-in-law stepped in.
23:36Chris and Wendy very kindly asked me if I'd like to come and live with them so they can
23:41look after me.
23:42We're a family.
23:42We've always been like that.
23:44We've always helped each other out.
23:45So that's what we'll just carry on doing.
23:47They're the best pair I can think of.
23:50The very best.
23:52There was just one problem.
23:53I was the sole beneficiary of Pat's will and I got everything.
24:00That sounds wonderful, but it took us weeks, weeks and weeks to clear out her flat.
24:07Linda had to bring it all with her to Pontefract and to a house that was already chocker.
24:13When Chris and I got together, he brought his concept of his three-bedroomed house into mine.
24:20I already had 20 odd years worth of things here and then we're clearing Linda's three-bedroomed
24:26house out to bring her things here and there just isn't the room.
24:31And there's another upheaval on the horizon.
24:34We are all going to move again closer to the Lake District.
24:40My job is there.
24:41Hence the call to our man, Angus.
24:44Any money we raise from this auction will go towards helping us move.
24:49Be that removal costs, setting up home costs, even hiring a van, anything will be of help.
24:58Angus, this family really needs you.
25:01I'm going to turn around here.
25:03Your famous reversing skills.
25:05I thought that was a compliment.
25:07Well, you haven't reversed into anything yet.
25:09Cheeky monkey.
25:11Welcome to Pontefract.
25:12OK.
25:19Good morning.
25:20Morning, are you all right?
25:21Very good.
25:22Morning, hi, how are you?
25:23Come and meet Linda.
25:24Thank you very much.
25:26How is it that we can help today?
25:28What's the situation?
25:29Unfortunately, my cousin Pat died and I was the sole recipient of everything in her will.
25:36And so we decided that everything that we could save, we would sell off to help pay for the move
25:43for all of us.
25:44We have two rooms to look at.
25:46So, Angus, if you'd like to come with me.
25:47Well, do you want to make a start on the other room and I'll go look at this room with
25:50you and then see what we can do.
25:53Good idea.
25:54I'll head upstairs.
25:56Divide and conquer boys.
25:57Through here.
25:58OK.
25:59This is the main bulk of it.
26:00OK.
26:01There are some lighters.
26:03I mean, that's a classic Dunhill lighter.
26:05The company was founded by Alfred Dunhill in 1893.
26:09And then in 1907 opened his first tobacconist shop.
26:14So they did tobacco, but then they did all the accessories to go with it.
26:18Smoking stuff's completely out-fashioned, we know that.
26:20But people do collect lighters.
26:23The 1950s roller gas will go into a lot with four others, including a Japanese brand Sarome inlaid with Mother
26:31of Pearl and from the same era.
26:34So all this is...
26:36These were all Pats.
26:37Yeah.
26:38Why don't you lead me to it?
26:39Shout out if you need anything.
26:40Yeah, we'll get your dining table back.
26:44Oh, nice.
26:46I think I've got a sense of this job.
26:48It's an accumulation of various households into one that doesn't quite fit.
26:53They've condensed it into two rooms.
26:54So it's really about thinning out today and making that potential move a lot easier to facilitate.
27:05Hey Ewan, how are we getting on?
27:06I'm alright, yeah.
27:07I just found some Terry Pratchett.
27:09Oh, yeah.
27:11Discworld.
27:11And his debut novel was Colour of Magic in 83.
27:14And that was all part of the Discworld series, which is...
27:1741 novels, I think.
27:18Over a hundred million books he sold worldwide.
27:22Really?
27:22In like 40-odd languages.
27:23Yeah, there's definitely a market for Terry Pratchett.
27:26At his peak, he was writing three books a year and second only to J.K. Rowling as our most
27:32read author.
27:34Discworld was basically a disc-shaped planet, if you like, whirl.
27:39Disc sits on the elephants and the elephants ride the turtle that's flying through the universe.
27:42Oh, I see.
27:43Yeah.
27:44I mean, there's all sorts in here, isn't there?
27:45It's not just books.
27:46You've got Discworld game.
27:48There's various figures.
27:49And that's the classic there.
27:52Oh, yeah.
27:52These are bookends, look.
27:53That's pretty funky.
27:55Yeah.
27:55I like that.
27:56You know, definitely a market for it.
27:57There's obviously quite a few bits.
27:59Wendy's varied collection will make a single-themed lot.
28:03Right, I'll let you get those packed up and I'll see what else we can find.
28:07Yeah, okay.
28:22Probably thinking, what on earth is that?
28:24Well, it's a cup holder.
28:26So there'll be a glass that sits into them and you can take the glass out, wash the glass,
28:29put it back in.
28:30Nice set of four.
28:31These look like WMF.
28:32I can just see a stamp there that says F.
28:34Now, they were a company founded in 1853, Germany.
28:38But it was really in the early 1900s that they were the big powerhouse.
28:42In fact, the largest exporter of silver-plated homeware products in the world.
28:47Huge.
28:48The designs on Pat's four cup holders are out of this world.
28:52They celebrate the 1957 launch of Sputnik.
28:57Plated wear has dipped in popularity.
29:01People just don't like cleaning it, polishing it.
29:03But WMF still sells reasonably well, more through its artistic merit.
29:08We've enjoyed looking at them, but it's time for someone else to have that time with them.
29:14And someone else to do the dusting.
29:16Yeah.
29:17Alright, I've got it now.
29:19Yeah.
29:21My maiden.
29:23My maiden.
29:27No Metallica, though.
29:28Oh!
29:29Look!
29:30I found the Metallica ones.
29:32This, Master of Puppets.
29:33Great album.
29:34I had an older brother, James.
29:36He basically painted murals all over his wall of all the album colours from Metallica.
29:43So, we had Master of Puppets on one.
29:45He did Justice for All.
29:47So, yeah.
29:48Metallica, Guns and Roses.
29:49And Iron Maiden.
29:50That was childhood for me.
29:52I wonder if young Ewan is into heavy metal.
29:55Oh, vinyl.
29:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:57Look.
29:58There's vinyl and there's vinyl.
30:00Right.
30:00I know you're a little bit younger than me, but this is like reliving my youth, okay?
30:05Uh-huh.
30:06Or is that the 1910s, yeah?
30:10Awkward!
30:1180s, 90s.
30:12You know, vinyl's really come back in fashion.
30:14It's really colorful now.
30:15I mean, in fact, modern music is now being released on vinyl.
30:18Yeah, it is, yeah.
30:19But, when it comes to vinyl, value really depends on the bands.
30:23And obviously the market's gotta be right, and this genre is the right market that people
30:27are collecting now.
30:28Yeah.
30:28Yeah.
30:28What was your top band?
30:30Um, nobody you'd have heard of.
30:31How do you know?
30:32Come on, go on.
30:33Have you heard of Cosmo Sheldrake?
30:35Yeah, no, no, I haven't.
30:39All right, I'll get these on the bands, I'm excited about these.
30:41Yeah.
30:42There are nearly 300 records falling naturally into three lots.
30:47A carry case of mix 45s, 103 rock and pop albums from the 80s, but the potential headline
30:56act, the heavy metal LPs, all 116 of them.
31:03For the next few hours, Angus and Ewan get their wiggle on.
31:08Oh, so stiff from the job yesterday.
31:10There's some interesting bits coming out.
31:12Roger Mears in the first steps of Scott.
31:15Some coins, medallions.
31:17Excellent.
31:19We've got ceramics.
31:21Including two crates worth of royal memorabilia, one sown by Pat.
31:27We've got some jewellery, so there'll be some value there.
31:30Yes, a hoard of Pat's jewellery that Valuer Charlotte will analyse, scrutinise and categorise
31:37back at the auction house later.
31:39We've just got to get it all loaded up and try and clear as much space as we can.
31:43Oh, a Kodak.
31:49Finally!
31:50Has everything come upstairs?
31:52Wonderful.
31:52That's us all done then, Ewan.
31:54Okay, brilliant.
32:01So, you've got your room back.
32:02Oh, my goodness.
32:03Look at all this.
32:05So much space.
32:05Isn't this wonderful?
32:07It's great, isn't it?
32:08Excellent.
32:08That is really good.
32:11And how are we feeling about the auction?
32:13Excited.
32:13The funds we raised just going towards moving costs.
32:17It's a big part of moving.
32:18That's the best way it's all about.
32:18We'll see you soon.
32:20Exciting.
32:20Brilliant.
32:23Seeing Pat's things going, it's hard.
32:26It's not been a year since Pat passed, but there was a lot of stuff there, bless her.
32:32And this is the best start in that process.
32:35The van's all over it.
32:36You can already see the impact in the house.
32:38I think it's the first step on that journey, but we've got some interesting items.
32:42Hopefully, we can raise some funds.
32:44I think the thing I'm most excited about, really, trip down memory lane, the vinyl,
32:48Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Metallica.
32:51I'm going to educate Ewan on the van on the way home, I think.
32:55I think Ewan's learning curve might be how valuable long-forgotten vinyl can be.
33:01Meanwhile, drive safely, Angus, and don't ride the lightning.
33:06That's a heavy metal joke, just for you.
33:21Hi, Millie.
33:22Hi, Angus.
33:23Me and you have picked a job up in Bonifrat.
33:25Oh, lovely.
33:26Anything exciting?
33:27Well, cuddly sheep.
33:30Laurence the lamb belonged to Wendy, but he's outgrown the house and needs a new playmate.
33:36It's very well-dressed sheep.
33:38He comes with his very own high chair, as you do, and will hopefully shear a few readies
33:44from the auction crowd.
33:46Everything else needs to be herded into the sale room.
33:50That's really healthy.
33:51Ready to go under the hammer in just five weeks' time.
33:56Right.
33:56That's it.
33:57Thank you very much, Millie.
33:58It's OK.
34:00Hi, Charlotte.
34:02Now then.
34:03What have we got here?
34:04Oh.
34:05Valuers Charlotte Senior and Charlotte Junior have found some jewellery that once belonged
34:10to Pat.
34:11I've got, well, it's called a keeper's ring.
34:13Oh, I love a keeper's ring.
34:15They're used to keep another ring in place.
34:17You can wear it usually in front of the ring.
34:20If it's an engagement ring, it just keeps the stone safe if you're doing manual work.
34:24I always assumed a keeper's ring was maybe a more romantic concept ring rather than literally
34:31just...
34:31Yeah, so it's a very literal definition.
34:33One of the earliest examples was in 1761 when Queen Charlotte was given a diamond hoop ring
34:38by the king.
34:39With a diamond in, wouldn't Her Majesty have needed a keeper's ring to keep her keeper's
34:45ring safe?
34:47This is 18-carat golds.
34:49Mm-hmm.
34:49So you can tell that by the fact that it's quite a yellow gold.
34:52It's got quite a bit of weight to that as well, doesn't it?
34:54It is.
34:55I think that'll be where the value is because gold price is so high at the moment.
34:58I think the style of it will sell it.
35:00I'd have thought Victorian or Edwardian just sort of looking at the hallmarks there.
35:04So what kind of estimate have you put on it?
35:06I've put 400 to 500 on it.
35:08Right, Charlotte, I think we need to go do some research on the Queen Charlotte.
35:13We do.
35:13Research on her jewellery.
35:15Goodbye, Princess Charlotte.
35:17Bye.
35:21Oh, you've got some Winston cats.
35:24I do.
35:26They're great.
35:26I love these.
35:27They're studio pottery.
35:29They're made in Norfolk and it's a family business.
35:31Yeah.
35:32And they've been making the cats since the late 1950s.
35:35Oh, my God.
35:35They're really popular all over the world.
35:38Obviously quite realistic.
35:39The eyes are quite intense.
35:41They make the eyes in their little workshops and there's a special kind of glass so it
35:47looks like they're following you as you go around the room.
35:49Ooh.
35:50You don't like that?
35:51I don't quite like that.
35:53So what sort of price do you think you'd put on these?
35:55I think you could sell them as a group lot and I think 60 to 80 would be a fair
36:00estimate.
36:09I'm really looking forward to this.
36:11This is a real new experience for me.
36:13Morning.
36:14Good morning.
36:15How are we doing?
36:15You all right?
36:16We're fine, thank you.
36:17How are we feeling about the auction?
36:18Excited.
36:19Anything in particular you're looking forward to?
36:22Seeing how those records do.
36:24It has some good music in there.
36:25I can appreciate it.
36:27Yeah, I appreciate it because I had to listen to it when he was a kid.
36:30All I've got was turn it down.
36:32Well, hopefully it pays off today.
36:34Okay, well, I'll take you in the sale room and let you have a look round.
36:39Oh, look at this.
36:42Good grief.
36:43Oh my God, this is beautiful.
36:44Oh, look.
36:45Oh, these records.
36:47Bane of my life when you were younger.
36:49Spent my wages from Tesco's buying them.
36:52I wouldn't be surprised if they fly.
36:53They could do a lot of money.
36:54We've certainly had a bit of pre-sale interest.
36:57Oh, there's that ring.
36:59I don't know where Pat got that ring from.
37:03These with Pat, these two Dunhill ones.
37:05Pat would be mightily excited about this auction.
37:08She would.
37:09She'd love to be here.
37:10She'd love to be here.
37:11Yeah.
37:11And hopefully it will raise money so that we can all move and be together.
37:16They've got a real interesting mix.
37:18So I think we should be all right.
37:20But we'll just have to see.
37:24Time for Angus to take to the rostrum.
37:28Millie and Jasper are fielding those internet bids and keeping the show on the road in the brown coat is
37:36Porter Keira.
37:38All right then.
37:38Morning, ladies and gentlemen.
37:40Morning.
37:41Yeah.
37:41One of you is awake.
37:43All right.
37:44We've gone to this lovely collection.
37:46First to blast off.
37:50USSR 1950s Sputnik cup holders.
37:54There we go.
37:55Where should we be?
37:55Space race era.
37:5730, 32, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 8.
38:0038 pound it.
38:0138 pound a bit of 38.
38:02Round it up to 40.
38:0340 pound bid.
38:0440 pound it is then at 40 pound.
38:05We're going to the moon at 42, 2, 2.
38:07At 42 pound it is then at 42.
38:09We're all done.
38:10Any advance?
38:11How often do you see these?
38:1242 pound it is then.
38:145, 5, 5.
38:1545 it is then at 45.
38:19Soaring dangerously close to their lower estimate.
38:22They did well with them, didn't they?
38:24But everyone's happy.
38:26And when these Terry Pratchett books, bookends and game are next.
38:31Good lot is this there.
38:3250 mid, 50.
38:33I have 50 for all the Terry Pratchett.
38:355, 60, 60 and mid.
38:365, 65, 75, 80, 80.
38:395, 90, 90.
38:40It is.
38:41Bids flying in there.
38:41We've got 100.
38:42At 110.
38:43110 it is.
38:43Any advance in the room?
38:44120 fresh bidder.
38:45120 a bidder.
38:46I've got three of you bidding now.
38:47It's 120.
38:48We all came in at the same time.
38:49120, 130.
38:50140.
38:51Final call.
38:52Galval's up 140.
38:56No, not a fantasy.
38:58That actually happened.
39:01Yeah, I'm glad it's sold.
39:04Yeah.
39:05Well, there should be even more money coming your way, Wendy.
39:08As over the next half an hour, 36 lots come under Angus's gavel.
39:14Including...

42:48Wow.
42:48Brilliant.
42:49Was that the sort of surprise of the day, do you think, the records?
42:51I thought the jewellery would be more of a surprise, but the records have just flew.
42:56And it's helped sort of cleared out, get ready for...
42:59For the moving.
42:59Yeah.
43:00That's what it was all about.
43:01Well.

43:05Crikey.
43:06That's amazing.
43:07That's pretty short of 3,000.

43:09That will, you know, help towards moves and things like that.
43:12It will.
43:13Oh boy, it will.
43:13Absolutely.
43:14Well, it's been an absolute pleasure.
43:17Thank you very much.
43:20That's amazing.
43:21Wow.
43:22Well done for buying that vinyl.
43:23Yeah.
43:24Well done.
43:25Yeah.
43:26It was nice to see things that we brought from Pat's go so well.
43:30Sad to see some of it go, but so happy that it's gone.
43:34Absolutely tight.
43:35I think we've got some amazing results.
43:37We thought the records would do well, but my word did they do well.
43:40All round, a good day.
43:41Bye.
43:42Bye.
43:51Bye.
