00:00Hello and welcome to Bargain Hunt from Staffordshire.
00:04One thing I love about an antiques fair is the fusion of different design movements that's
00:09always on offer. For example, look at this typically mid-century mirror and this delightfully
00:16deco letter rack. And how about this for Art Nouveau? Absolutely undeniable.
00:24Another of my favourites is the arts and crafts movement. Later, I'll be admiring an
00:29extraordinary collection of jewellery from that period. Honestly, it's not to be missed.
00:34But first, let's go bargain hunting.
01:00This busy antiques fair in Utoxeter is just waiting for the Reds and Blues to dive in.
01:06Each team is given £300 to buy three items that they hope, they hope will make a profit.
01:12They'll have to complete my challenge and one item must be a big spend of £75 or more.
01:18Then, it's off to the auction. Right, let's meet today's teams.
01:24Hi, I'm Emma.
01:25And I'm Kate.
01:26And we're best buddies.
01:27And the best at Finding Bargains.
01:30We'll see if you make the best profits. How's your antiques knowledge?
01:34Mum's got a better knowledge than me.
01:36But I like, I just like looking at things and like, I just love shopping.
01:42That's a good start. What are your tactics?
01:45I'd like to buy things that we like and try not to spend too, too much money.
01:50I think we should spend it all personally.
01:53OK, this could be interesting. Who is going to do the haggling?
01:57I think I'll probably try, but probably fail.
02:03Let's see who you're up against.
02:05Hi, I'm Andrew.
02:06And I'm Lucy.
02:07We don't want to win.
02:08We're going to win.
02:10Confident.
02:11Are you competitive?
02:13Oh, very much so, yeah.
02:14In everything we do.
02:15We always say nobody remembers who comes second, do we?
02:17That's literally our motto going up, no remember second place.
02:20Nobody remembers who comes second.
02:22So, you're out to win.
02:23And I hear you have an extra team member.
02:25I am expecting a baby boy.
02:28So, hopefully, he might give us a kick in the right direction.
02:31So, who's in charge?
02:32Yeah, obviously, I'm captain.
02:34Was there any doubt?
02:36Glad that's sorted.
02:38Let's get things underway.
02:40Teams, hello to you.
02:42Hello.
02:43How are you?
02:43Hello.
02:44Good to see you.
02:45Tell me how you're feeling.
02:46Excited?
02:47Very excited.
02:48So excited.
02:49So, who's going to take the money for the race?
02:52OK, Kate, there you are, my friend.
02:54And for the blue?
02:56Lucy.
02:56Lucy, thank you very much.
02:57So, Emma, a challenge for you.
02:59Yes, thank you.
03:00And I have a challenge for you, Andrew.
03:00Thank you very much.
03:01Thank you very much.
03:02But don't open them just yet, because before the clock ticks, you must meet your antiques
03:06experts.
03:06Are you ready to meet them?
03:07We are, yes.
03:08Definitely.
03:09Well, they are very much ready to meet you.
03:10So, teams, best of luck.
03:11Off you go.
03:12Thank you very much.
03:13So, they're off to meet their antiques experts.
03:15But, what makes a good one?
03:19I want them to be fun.
03:21We'd like someone who's really knowledgeable.
03:24Knowledgeable.
03:25And hopefully, they're very funny.
03:27No pressure then, huh?
03:28Hello, ladies.
03:29For the reds, it's Irita Marriott.
03:31Well, I can help.
03:33And for the blues, it's John Cameron.
03:35How are you?
03:36Time to open those challenges.
03:38A piece of 20th century jewellery.
03:41It's okay.
03:42Any item with connection to Staffordshire?
03:45Staffordshire is the potting centre of the UK.
03:48So, I don't think we'll have any problems finding any.
03:52Time to hunt out those deals.
03:53Your 60 minutes start now.
03:55Let's go.
03:56Let's go.
03:56No time to wait.
03:57Come on, come on.
03:58Are you ready?
03:59I'm ready.
04:00Don't panic.
04:01You have plenty of stalls to look at, so get stuck in, teams.
04:05There's so many things.
04:06I know.
04:07Could this dog beat the blues Staffordshire challenge?
04:10Is that nice?
04:11Is that Staffordshire or not?
04:12Well, it's Wade.
04:13Okay.
04:14Wade is a Staffordshire pottery.
04:16£20.
04:16Are you thinking about that as one of your items?
04:18Well, I feel like it could be a maybe.
04:20But what's the best price?
04:23We can do them for $50.
04:24All right.
04:24Thank you very much.
04:25Thank you so much.
04:25I can see who's coming back for that.
04:26All right.
04:28Brilliant.
04:29What a start that is.
04:30Yes.
04:31A possibility already.
04:33Emma's found something she really likes.
04:36You like boxes?
04:37I like boxes.
04:38I like boxes.
04:38I mean, it's beautifully lined inside.
04:41Embossed on top.
04:41It's just base metal.
04:43Yeah.
04:43So there's no precious value of any kind.
04:45No.
04:45It's probably made in about 1950s, 1970s.
04:49I mean, it's £15.
04:52Nothing, is it?
04:52Like, it's not a lot of money for what it is.
04:55Yeah.
04:55Is it good enough quality to stand on its own in an auction?
04:59I don't know.
05:00Probably not.
05:01We'll leave that there.
05:02I'm noting that you like boxes.
05:05I've noted that.
05:06We'll look for some more.
05:07Go on.
05:08Andrew's found one of the tools of the trade that we see a lot on Bargain Hunt.
05:13It's a nice gavel, actually.
05:14It's actually a really nice piece.
05:15It's a nice piece, isn't it?
05:16Yeah.
05:1618 quid.
05:17The studs on there as well.
05:18It's not really old, though, is it?
05:18It's got a little bit of age.
05:19It's certainly had some use, because you can see it on those caps there, can't you?
05:23Yeah.
05:24Yeah.
05:24Well, hold on.
05:24We might get golden ones.
05:25We might get golden ones.
05:28I'm loving the optimism.
05:31The Reds have spotted another box.
05:34I love that shape.
05:35Yeah, it's just so comfy to hold as well.
05:37Yes.
05:38It is really nice.
05:39Tactile is the correct word for it.
05:41Yeah.
05:41Solid silver.
05:42It's a snuff box.
05:43Yeah.
05:44And what I like about this is that it's got a gilt interior.
05:47That's a sign of quality.
05:49Yeah.
05:50What's the price on it?
05:5175.
05:53I think that's a bit...
05:54A bit pricey.
05:55A bit pricey for the condition that it is.
05:57Because if you look, it's got quite a lot of dents.
06:00Yeah.
06:00And it's not staying shut.
06:02Okay.
06:03I'll pop that back then.
06:04Lovely thing.
06:05Yeah.
06:05The condition puts her down.
06:07Mm-hmm.
06:08The hunt continues.
06:10John's seen something else that could meet the blues Staffordshire challenge.
06:14All right, guys.
06:15I've just thought I'd think outside the box.
06:18Okay.
06:19This is a consideration.
06:20Okay.
06:20I asked the gentleman here on this store whether he has Staffordshire maps.
06:24Oh.
06:24Okay.
06:24Because pottery is really obvious.
06:26It is an obvious choice.
06:27Yeah.
06:28So, and he did.
06:29He had this map here, which has certainly got some age to it.
06:31It says Spad Slade and Toms, 1741, mounted with a plan of Stafford from Hermanides, Britannia Magna, 1661.
06:39So that is 17th century.
06:41Wow.
06:42And that is quite a rare town plan of, look, Staffordia.
06:48Staffordia.
06:49The Roman.
06:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:51That's really nice.
06:52I like that.
06:53It's interesting, isn't it?
06:53How much is that one going for?
06:54It's ticket prices 95.
06:56Okay.
06:57That could be a double.
06:58We could get that.
06:59That would do the Staffordshire and that big bar.
07:01Yeah.
07:01We've got two things done.
07:03I think that's really different.
07:04I really like that.
07:05Should we speak to the storeholder?
07:06Yeah.
07:08Um, interested in this map.
07:09Um, you've got 95 on it.
07:11Could you do 75?
07:1375.
07:13I'd do 80.
07:14What would you bet in kids?
07:15Split the difference?
07:1777.
07:18Yeah, exactly.
07:19That'd be brilliant.
07:2077?
07:2177.
07:22Well, that's brilliant.
07:23That's very kind of it.
07:24Shake this man's hand quickly before we change his mind.
07:27Thank you very much.
07:27Really appreciate it.
07:28So much.
07:28Wow.
07:29Blues, your first item has met both of my challenges in just 12 minutes.
07:35Two Staffordshire maps bought for 77 pounds.
07:39Excellent.
07:39We've got two challenges out of the way in one.
07:41Yeah.
07:41Always love it when we do that.
07:42You can go wild.
07:44Well, within budget.
07:46The Reds are looking at 20th century jewellery for my challenge.
07:51Oh my gosh, I love rings.
07:52I sometimes like the boxes they come in more than the actual rings.
07:56I like that one.
07:58That one.
07:58Yeah, I can't see the price.
08:00I don't think we can afford that.
08:01We can't afford that.
08:02Too much of a diamond.
08:04I can't.
08:05Too much of a diamond.
08:07Boxes are becoming a real theme in this shop.
08:10Tell me why you like the boxes.
08:11The wood.
08:12The texture.
08:13The craftsmanship.
08:14Yeah, they're really pretty as well.
08:16Yeah.
08:16Any catcher eye?
08:17Well, I like the curved tops, personally.
08:19You like the dome tops?
08:20Yeah.
08:20The little caskets.
08:21So, that one there, that's really nice.
08:24This has got a lovely burr wood on it.
08:26Yeah.
08:26You see the nice figuring?
08:28Yeah.
08:28You get the burrs from the ugly growths on the side of trees.
08:32You know the ones that look like a wart?
08:33Oh, okay, yeah.
08:34Yeah.
08:34And when you slice that through like bacon, you get this beautiful burr figuring.
08:39It's why burr woods are so expensive.
08:41Okay.
08:41Because it's a flaw that's been embraced, so to speak.
08:43Yes.
08:44What we've got on there is a price.
08:4670.
08:47I could do 50 on that.
08:49Do you want to give that some thought?
08:50Yeah, we'll give that some thought.
08:51Yeah, we'll have some thought.
08:52Really nice, thank you.
08:53Thank you so much.
08:54So, the wooden box is a possibility.
08:58The Reds are still on the lookout for a piece of 20th century jewellery to complete my challenge.
09:03They are earrings and a brooch.
09:05The colour's lovely.
09:06I love the design.
09:08I like how they overlap over each other as well.
09:11And it has that beautiful engine turned detail underneath.
09:15Like, look how that shimmers.
09:16Mid-century jewellery from Scandinavia with enamel is the thing to buy really.
09:23I think these were made 70 or so years ago.
09:26They are as modern as anything.
09:27Timeless in their design.
09:29Yeah.
09:29So, that's £79 and that's £49.
09:32So, that's £128.
09:35And if you buy them together, you could meet both your challenges.
09:39Do you like them enough to buy them?
09:42I do like them.
09:43Yeah.
09:44We could ask them what the best price is.
09:47Okay.
09:47Do you want to go?
09:47Feel free, Mum?
09:48Absolutely not.
09:50There you go.
09:51Oh, that was confident, wasn't it?
09:53Looks like it's up to you, Mum.
09:56We're interested in both of these.
09:58Oh, aren't they beautiful?
09:59They are.
09:59They're a beautiful colour.
10:00We were just wondering what the best deal you could do for both of them.
10:05How does 84 sound?
10:06So, if it gets to 85, you've got a pound in it for your gavel.
10:09What do you reckon, team?
10:1084?
10:11Or shall we?
10:12Could we go any lower?
10:14Could we go any lower?
10:14Wiggle room?
10:1579?
10:18The face.
10:20Go on, we'll do 79.
10:2179 too.
10:22Oh my God, what?
10:22We'll do 79.
10:23Thank you very much indeed.
10:25Yes.
10:26Did you just go for 79?
10:28Yes, please.
10:30Thank you so much.
10:31Well done, Reds.
10:32That's your big spend and challenge to buy a piece of 20th century jewellery complete.
10:38Are you happy with that?
10:38I'm very happy with that.
10:40Okay.
10:40I sure are.
10:41We'll go find a box.
10:44These Reds have a one-track mind.
10:47Now, what's next for the Blues?
10:49Anything grab your eye on here, guys?
10:52Oh, the skull's different.
10:54Yeah.
10:54It is nice, isn't it?
10:55A composite skull.
10:56They do sell, you know.
10:58Yeah.
10:58That sort of witchcrafty stuff is quite popular.
11:00It's quite popular.
11:01Yeah, I do fun.
11:03Whenever I have anything like that, it seems to do okay.
11:05I do okay.
11:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:06Even though it's not a real one.
11:08Oh, it's heavy.
11:08Oh, thank you.
11:09It's like a resin, isn't it?
11:10It has got some weight to it, isn't it?
11:11Yeah.
11:12Yeah.
11:12I quite like it.
11:13See if you can do a deal.
11:15What's the death on it?
11:17I can do 40, mate.
11:1840 pounds?
11:19What do you think, guys?
11:20It is cool.
11:21I do like it.
11:22What do you think?
11:23I like it.
11:23Do you sell it?
11:24The smells are really popular.
11:26I reckon that the 40 quid would get a profit out of that.
11:28Okay.
11:29Can we stake a bit more on it?
11:32Oh.
11:3335 would be literally...
11:35Oh, we've got to take that.
11:36We've got to take it.
11:37I think 35 is good.
11:38I would actually buy that for myself at that price.
11:40Yeah.
11:40Shake the lady's hand, then.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Yeah, I think so.
11:43It's coming through.
11:44Look at that.
11:44You shake the lady.
11:46Look at that.
11:46Thank you so much.
11:48That's fantastic.
11:49That is item number two in the bag.
11:52A composite human skull for just 35 pounds.
11:55I think we can head down here now.
11:57Yeah.
11:57Perfect, yeah.
11:58We're doing well.
11:59We're doing well.
12:00The reds haven't moved too far.
12:02What have they found?
12:04It's a fruit knife and orange peeler combined.
12:06It is stunning.
12:08That is so cool.
12:08And it is so rare.
12:10I absolutely adore that.
12:12So we've got mother of pearl body.
12:14Yeah.
12:15A knife to cut the oranges with.
12:17And a peeler.
12:18And a peeler.
12:19How lovely is that?
12:20That's so cool.
12:21Do you want to have a look at the hallmarks and see what you can see?
12:26Yeah, there's a crown, a lion, a K and a WN.
12:31Okay.
12:31So the lion is the bit that you always are looking for.
12:33Okay.
12:34Because that indicates that it's British silver.
12:36Right.
12:36The crown is Sheffield.
12:37Oh.
12:38And then the letter is the date letter.
12:40That will be early 1900s.
12:43Mm-hmm.
12:43That's lovely.
12:44I've never seen anything like it before.
12:46Do you want to ask?
12:47You will struggle finding another one.
12:49It's 125.
12:50Oh, we could ask Phoebe.
12:52See what the best price is.
12:54Mm-hmm.
12:55Okay.
12:55Hello.
12:56Hello.
12:56We really, really like...
12:58I know, you've fallen in love with it, haven't you?
12:59I've fallen in love with it.
13:00What were you going to offer me?
13:02What were you going to offer me?
13:05Go on.
13:06I know you love it.
13:08I'll do it at 59 for you.
13:10I think we should do it today.
13:11Yeah.
13:11Lovely.
13:12Thank you so much.
13:14Kate and Emma are on a roll.
13:17That's item number two, a silver and mother of pearl pocket knife and orange peeler for £59.
13:23Two down.
13:25One to go.
13:26One to go.
13:26We have to find a box.
13:29Yeah.
13:29While the teams keep shopping, I'm nipping off to see an incredible collection.
13:41Over the years, many bargain hunt teams have found themselves drawn to jewellery.
13:47From bald brooches.
13:49That peacock's something else, isn't it?
13:51It is.
13:51To pretty precious stones.
13:53Little diamonds around the outside.
13:56And shiny silver.
13:57Very cool.
13:58Very trendy.
13:59But sometimes you come across a collection that, frankly, knocks your socks off.
14:05And that's what this is.
14:06All of this jewellery here is from the arts and crafts movement.
14:10Well, almost all of it.
14:11And it's exclusively designed by women.
14:14So, yeah.
14:14Girl power.
14:15And here to tell me all about it is a familiar face to Bargain Hunt viewers, auctioneer Hetty
14:21Jago.
14:21Thank you for bringing along this collection.
14:24I love arts and crafts, particularly jewellery.
14:27Actually, I think it's such a timeless style and still so wearable now as it was a hundred
14:31or so years ago.
14:32It was a movement after quite a lot of change.
14:34So, it was sort of the late 19th, early 20th century.
14:36And we've been through the industrial revolution.
14:39And we were really seeing the effects of that, particularly on the decorative arts.
14:42And, unfortunately, handmade pieces and crafts people were becoming less and less valued.
14:47So, this was really a revival of crafting and hand-making.
14:51You saw a lot of floral motifs, a lot of inspiration from nature.
14:55And we've got a really lovely collection here, all by female designers.
14:59Women were often at the forefront of this movement, but were overlooked.
15:02As in those days, they weren't recognised in the same way as their male contemporaries.
15:07First of all, we've got this lovely collection by Dori Nositer.
15:10Now, she was born in 1893 in Aston in Birmingham.
15:13And she went to the Municipal School of Art to study drawing with a focus on plant form.
15:18And I think you can really see that in these pieces.
15:20You've got these beautiful floral, sort of flowing designs.
15:23She used a lot of gemstones in her designs, as you can see here.
15:27Now, this brooch is probably worth somewhere between £600 to £800 at auction.
15:31Amazing.
15:33Interestingly, her work very often gets misattributed to other designers.
15:36And this is quite a common problem, because all of these people were working around about the same time.
15:41They all knew each other.
15:42And they're all taking sort of inspiration from each other.
15:44So, looking back, it's now quite hard to attribute certain pieces to certain people.
15:49I think everything on this table is actually unsigned.
15:52What about the necklaces on the stand there? Are they also Dori Nositer?
15:56No, these are by somebody called Amy Sandheim.
15:58And she actually studied sculpture.
16:01And I think you can really see that in her work.
16:03It really is quite sculptural. It's quite fluid in design.
16:06They're really beautiful pieces and probably worth somewhere between £500 and £750 each.
16:12Really.
16:12The influence of nature can be seen in these pieces, and they've used stones such as opals, moonstones and citrine.
16:21The arts and crafts style continued to influence designers, long after the movement had its haiti.
16:28These pieces here are by Charles and Gladys Mumford, who are actually designing closer to sort of the mid-20th
16:34century.
16:35So, very much inspired by the arts and crafts designers, but later.
16:38And that's a good thing if you were looking to buy a piece by these designers, because actually they're a
16:43little bit more affordable.
16:44Broaches by these makers come up quite often at auction, only about £20.
16:49Oh, and isn't that a lovely history to invest in for just a few pounds?
16:53So, if our viewers are interested themselves in arts and crafts jewellery, what should they be looking out for?
17:00I think it's really important to look for quality.
17:03And you really want it to be a handmade piece.
17:06And interestingly, with this sort of thing, you sort of want to see imperfections,
17:09because it tells you that it's actually of the period and not later made.
17:12And also, another top tip is to look at the clasp.
17:15So, this is what's called a C-clasp, and they didn't so often use these sort of post-1940s.
17:19So, that's one indication that it is actually of the period.
17:22You want it to be kind of wonky.
17:25Yeah.
17:25That's no bad thing.
17:26No, because it's handmade.
17:27That's what we love about the arts and crafts movement.
17:29Exactly.
17:30Hetty, thank you very much for bringing this collection.
17:33It's fabulous, it's valuable, and I feel like I've learned a lot.
17:37So, thank you very much.
17:40Back to the shop.
17:41And with less than half an hour to go, all the challenges are done.
17:44And both teams just have one item to find.
17:48I'll give you one guess what the Reds are looking at.
17:51Surprise, surprise, it's a box.
17:54Oh, yeah.
17:55It's a leather one.
17:56This one actually has something inside, and it's a medicine glass.
18:00Oh.
18:00Yeah.
18:01So, it's beautifully marked.
18:041880s, 1900s.
18:05Because the doctors didn't often have patients come to them.
18:10They went to patients.
18:11Yeah.
18:11They were on the road.
18:13They had to have a bag that had everything they needed.
18:15Oh, it would have something like that.
18:16Yeah.
18:16So, they had to protect the glass to make sure it didn't damage.
18:20Yeah.
18:20In the transit.
18:21Yeah.
18:22I quite like that.
18:23How much is it?
18:2425 pounds.
18:26I think that's lovely, but shall we carry on for a bit?
18:29Yeah.
18:30Yeah.
18:30We can come back to it if not.
18:32While the Reds consider the medicine measuring glass, John is hoping to light up the blues with this dazzling display.
18:40I saw this and I just thought, I've got to show you this.
18:42It's a wonderful collection of uranium glass.
18:45Wow.
18:46It literally is uranium glass.
18:47If you put a garga counter to it, you'd pick up on it.
18:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:50A lot of it made in the 30s, mostly press moulded, but I've never seen it illuminated in this way.
18:57It's beautiful.
18:57It's absolutely fantastic.
18:58Very unusual.
18:59I think it really glows, doesn't it?
19:00I've never seen anything like it.
19:01No.
19:01You've got any favourite pieces?
19:03Yes.
19:03Yes.
19:03This was made in about 1880.
19:06These are solid silver studs.
19:08Goodness me.
19:08And it's got a plunger.
19:10Oh, look at that.
19:11For the perfume.
19:12So, this is a shop display one.
19:13Yeah.
19:13This was made for Paris perfumery and it's just to get people in, basically.
19:18And dare I ask the price of that?
19:19I think it's about 400 pounds.
19:21That's a bit above our budget, I think, isn't it?
19:23Yeah.
19:24All right.
19:24Thank you very much.
19:25It's very pretty, but if you can't afford it, move on.
19:29Back to the reds.
19:31And I wonder what they're looking at.
19:33There's another box.
19:34Oh, that one's cool.
19:36These are carved out of a nut.
19:38It's a coquilla nut from South America and they're really, really hard.
19:43Yeah, I was going to say because it looks like wood.
19:45If you feel that, imagine carving that.
19:49And this is 150 plus years old.
19:53Yeah.
19:53It's beautiful, dude.
19:54The way they had to work that with tools is absolutely incredible.
20:01Yeah.
20:02And it's so smooth still.
20:04Yeah.
20:05It's described as it is for needles.
20:0734 pounds.
20:09It's not a lot of money.
20:10Yeah.
20:11But I can see there's some health issues.
20:14Yeah.
20:15And that will make a difference.
20:18Yeah.
20:18In the condition that it is.
20:20Mm-hmm.
20:20It's 10, 15 pounds.
20:22Yeah.
20:23But how cute it tastes.
20:2615 minutes to go and both teams are still looking for their final buy.
20:31These are vinaigrettes or vinaigrettes as they were.
20:34And they contained a little sponge.
20:36You see these things here, the little grill.
20:37Mm-hmm.
20:38They would have a sponge inside where you would soak them in some sort of perfume.
20:41Yeah.
20:42And during the 19th century, the sewage systems were non-existent.
20:46Yes.
20:47So as the cities were growing with the industrial revolution, the sewage, the stench became unbearable.
20:52Yeah.
20:52So you used to have that.
20:53And so you would pick that out of your pocket and you could just hold it under your nose.
20:57Wow.
20:58And people collect vinaigrettes, silver boxes.
21:00These are beautiful.
21:01This is what you call a castle top.
21:03Yeah.
21:03These are card cases, crawling card cases.
21:05Yeah, yeah.
21:05Beautiful done, isn't it?
21:07I still...
21:07They can make five, six, seven hundred, eight hundred quid.
21:10Do you want to look at anything at all?
21:11I mean, I did like that, but I think when you said that price is...
21:13That's out of your budget.
21:14Yeah, yeah.
21:15I'll have to say it.
21:16I've got expensive taste.
21:17Just not the budget to match.
21:20Time to move on.
21:22Kate and Ellie are looking at something small and silver, and oh yes, it's a box.
21:28I like the design on it.
21:30It has that Art Nouveau kind of influence.
21:34It's definitely silver hallmarks.
21:36It's not British, so it's continental.
21:38Mm.
21:39I mean, it's...
21:40It is unusual.
21:41Yeah.
21:43I think it's ecclesiastical.
21:44I think there's two sorts of church-related oils.
21:47And you could have the solid oil in the top and a liquid oil in the pot.
21:50And a liquid, yeah.
21:51That would make sense to me.
21:53How old do you think it is?
21:54I would have said probably 30, 40 years old.
21:57That could be 30 pounds.
21:58Okay.
22:00You're very welcome.
22:02Yeah, no?
22:04Not at the moment.
22:05Okay.
22:05Let's move on.
22:07The perfect box is out there somewhere.
22:10Keep looking.
22:11John has spotted a potential final item for the blues.
22:15You like those?
22:16They're really sweet.
22:17They are nice.
22:18Silver enamel, Art Deco cocktail sticks.
22:22So, enamel like that is ground-powdered glass mixed with a colour.
22:27And they paint it on, and then it has to be fired in an oven to vitrify it,
22:33and then it's polished down flat to get this wonderful effect.
22:36So, they're beautiful things, aren't they?
22:38They're stunning.
22:38I really like those.
22:39Look, they've got £120 is the ticket price.
22:42What do you think I'd fetch at auction?
22:44Well, they're nice quality.
22:46They've got a bit of age to them, and they're in good condition.
22:48I could see them making pushing £100.
22:50Oh, really?
22:51Yeah.
22:51I mean, I think they're worth that.
22:53Is that what they would have actually came in originally?
22:56That probably is, actually.
22:58It would have been part of a box.
22:59So, they would have been in the case.
23:00So, the inside of the case.
23:02The case is obviously gone.
23:03Yes.
23:03Time to have a word with the dealer.
23:05We've got £120 on these.
23:07We need to be kind to give you a fighting chance.
23:09This young lady, yeah.
23:10Yes.
23:10She's eight months pregnant.
23:11Yes.
23:14Very, very best.
23:15I'll do them at £75.
23:16Wow.
23:17Look at that.
23:19That's a very generous discount.
23:20Yeah.
23:21While the Blues have a think about the cocktail sticks,
23:24the Reds are heading back to the £25 medicine measuring glass
23:29in a box.
23:3020.
23:31That would be my very best, obviously.
23:3320.
23:3420.
23:35Would you go to 19?
23:37Go on, then.
23:39Yeah.
23:39Are we happy?
23:40Yes.
23:40Are you happy?
23:41I'm happy.
23:42Yeah.
23:43Thank you very much.
23:45To me, you being happy is all that matters.
23:48Thank you so much.
23:49That's the Reds' final item, and at last, for £19,
23:53they have a box containing a medicine measuring glass.
23:57Great work.
23:58I'm ready for a drink, and I need an OK.
24:02With five minutes left, are the Blues going to try and get
24:06an even better deal on the cocktail sticks?
24:09Any chance we could get £69 on those?
24:12It's a little squeeze.
24:13It's a little squeeze.
24:14A little squeeze.
24:15For you and the baby, go on.
24:16£69.
24:17Thank you so much.
24:18Thank you so much.
24:18That's very kind.
24:19Thank you so much.
24:21The baby has kicked you in the right direction.
24:24That's your final item in the bag, a set of enameled cocktail
24:27sticks for £69.
24:30Teams, time to cool off.
24:32The shopping's done.
24:33We need to go and get a cup of tea, I think.
24:34I think so.
24:35That sounds perfect.
24:35Wonderful.
24:36Thank you very much.
24:37Brilliant.
24:37Let's remind ourselves of the red team box.
24:41Emma and Kate kicked things off with this Danish silver
24:44and turquoise enamel jewellery, which completed my challenge
24:48and big spend at £79.
24:52Kate fell in love with this silver and mother of pearl
24:55pocket knife and orange peeler for £59.
25:00And finally, after looking at a lot of boxes, they picked up
25:04this medicine measuring glass and leather box for £19.
25:09Emma, Kate, Rita.
25:11How did you enjoy that shop?
25:13It was fantastic.
25:14Oh, I'm so pleased.
25:15You're doing it so much.
25:16Yeah.
25:17It was so good.
25:18You love boxes.
25:20Don't deny it.
25:21So tell me, Emma, of the three items, which is your favourite?
25:25The medicine glass in the little leather case.
25:28Sort of in a box.
25:29It's sort of in a box, yeah.
25:31So that's your favourite.
25:32Which is going to bring the biggest profit?
25:34The orange peeler.
25:36Ah, very cool item.
25:39Which is beautiful.
25:39Lovely.
25:40OK, so Kate, which is your favourite item?
25:42The orange peeler.
25:43Yeah, I loved it so much.
25:44Literally fell in love with it.
25:45The pearl, literally everything about it.
25:48You love it?
25:48I love it.
25:49But which will bring the biggest profit?
25:51I think maybe the jewellery, because I haven't seen anything like it before.
25:54Nice way to fulfil the challenge.
25:56Yeah, exactly.
25:57And you think it might bring the biggest profit.
25:58Yeah.
25:59Let's remind ourselves what you spent, £157.
26:03Mm-hm.
26:03So, who has £143?
26:05I do.
26:06Ah, you're still in charge of the money?
26:07OK, so over it goes.
26:09You guys.
26:09Thank you very much.
26:11OK.
26:11Can you give us a clue, Aretha?
26:12I think I might expand on something that Kate fell in love with.
26:17Oh.
26:17Ooh.
26:18I'm excited now.
26:20I'm honoured.
26:21So, Aretha's off to find a bonus buy for the Reds.
26:25Let's remind ourselves now what the competition the Blue team bought.
26:29The Blues met their big spend and their Staffordshire challenge in one,
26:34with these antique maps for £77.
26:38For their second item, they found this composite model of a human skull.
26:42For £35.
26:46And with less than five minutes left,
26:48they struck a deal on these silver and enamel rooster cocktail sticks.
26:52For £69.
26:55Andrew, Lucy, John, here we stand and you can finally relax.
27:00There, you're done.
27:01Yes, the shopping's done.
27:02Although, actually, John, it was quite a relaxed shop.
27:04It's one of the most relaxed times I've had shopping.
27:06It was a breeze.
27:07So, Andrew, tell me which item you love the most.
27:10Which is your favourite?
27:11Ah, the skull.
27:11The skull, yes.
27:12I think the skull, yeah.
27:13Which is going to bring the biggest profits?
27:15Oh, I think Lucy's cocktail sticks will get the most money, I think.
27:21I think so too, personally.
27:22So, Lucy, which then is your favourite, would you say?
27:25The cocktail sticks, yeah.
27:26The cocktail sticks, OK.
27:27So, having spent £181, Lucy, are you still in charge of the money?
27:31I am.
27:32Yes, so do you have £119 to hand over to John?
27:35I believe I do.
27:36OK.
27:37Spend it wisely.
27:38Yeah, I won't.
27:39Yes.
27:40Are you thinking of spending it wisely, John, or are you thinking of going wild?
27:43I don't know, but I've got plenty of time to do this,
27:45so I'm going to have a nice walk round. I have no pressure.
27:48Ah, no promise. We trust you.
27:49So, John's off to find a bonus buy for the Blues, and it's time now for us to head to
27:53the auction.
27:57I've headed to Lincolnshire to meet auctioneer Kirsty Pearson.
28:01How are you?
28:03I'm very well, thank you. I'm very pleased to have you in the sat room today.
28:05Oh, thank you very much.
28:07Well, I'm very pleased to present to you quite a quirky set of lots.
28:11We have Emma and Kate for the Reds with our Rita,
28:13and we'll start with the least quirky of their items, actually,
28:17the 20th century enamel jewellery, which was my challenge.
28:21These take us to Denmark, don't they?
28:23They do.
28:24So, their biomaker Jamex, popular, nice enamel jewellery, early 20th century examples.
28:30You're probably looking in the region of £60 to £90 at the moment.
28:34£60 to £90, OK.
28:36The team kind of knew that.
28:37They made them their big spend as well.
28:40So, £79 is what they paid.
28:42So, there is hope.
28:44Then we move on to the quirkier.
28:46However, we have this gorgeous Edwardian fruit knife
28:49because integrated is the spoon with the orange peeling edge.
28:55It's a touch of class, isn't it?
28:56It is. It really is something a bit different.
28:58I mean, you see pen knives quite a lot, but with the added orange peel,
29:02you know, sort of element on it, it's definitely top end.
29:05I estimate it in the region of £50 to £80.
29:08I hope it will make a wee bit more.
29:10The team did really well.
29:11They paid £59.
29:12A beautiful item to round us off.
29:15Our third lot.
29:16We have a little measuring cup and a little measure as well with their cases.
29:21In that early 20th century period, they used to have a little trinket for everything, didn't they?
29:27Quite nice examples with their cases.
29:29Often you don't see the cases in as good a nick as what they are.
29:32We've put them in at £10 to £20.
29:34£19 is what they paid.
29:36So, that's us for Emma and Kate.
29:39Let's move on to the Blues.
29:41Andrew and Lucy, their expert is John Cameron,
29:44and he expertly helped them tick off my challenge,
29:48which was an item with a connection to Staffordshire.
29:51So, we're in the 18th century with this Staffordshire map,
29:54and there's also a 17th century plan of Stafford thrown in for good measure.
29:58So, proper antique and properly collected, aren't these?
30:03Yeah, definitely. Strong market for them.
30:05Obviously, you've got it nicely mounted in there.
30:07Sometimes you can have them loose, framed,
30:10but you've got the history on the top there as well,
30:13and like you say, the two different periods
30:14and two slightly different elements to it.
30:17We'd put it in at £60 to £90.
30:19Oh, great. It was a big spend.
30:20They spent £77, the Blues, on the map and the plan.
30:24Right. A composition and ceramic model of a human skull.
30:28That's your catalogue description.
30:30It certainly has weight to it.
30:32It's certainly not real, but it is.
30:35It's a really good depiction, isn't it?
30:38This is for lovers of sculpture and for, I guess, anatomists as well.
30:43Definitely. I mean, you know, there is those collectors out there,
30:46obviously for the real ones and the composition ones as well.
30:49This one is a bit more affordable for everybody
30:51than the anatomy sort of side of it.
30:53We've put it in at £30 to £50, and we'll see what happens under the armour.
30:57£35 was paid.
30:59I'm interested to see how this one goes.
31:01And always delighted to see cocktail sticks.
31:05I just think they're really flamboyant and fun.
31:08You'll know we see quite a few of them sail in, sail out.
31:11The ones that make these a little bit different
31:13is that enamel detail that's on the top there.
31:15It's just adding that extra touch of class to them.
31:17So we've put them in at £40 to £60.
31:20£69 was paid.
31:22We'll see how they go. I think they might just do it.
31:25You'll be on the rostrum. What should I expect?
31:28All excitement from the start. All excitement. Best of luck.
31:33£40 is paid at £42, £45. Are we all sure?
31:37Emma, Kate, Arita, now that we're here,
31:40are the nerves starting to kick in or are you thinking,
31:42I got this, I'm comfortable, we're cool?
31:44I'm just really excited. Fingers crossed.
31:47We are going to start with double challenge extravaganza.
31:51So it's the big spend. It's 20th century jewellery.
31:54It's some Danish silver and enamel. It's beautiful.
31:57You paid £79. Are we going to get off the mark with a profit?
32:02Hopefully. Yes, we are.
32:03OK, we are. Just say yes. Here it comes.
32:06The suite of Gemak's Danish silver and turquoise enamel jewellery.
32:09Really nice set, this one. £100 for that one.
32:12£100 anybody. £80 to go then. £80.
32:15£50 then. £50 we have. And £5.
32:19£55 is bid. £60 would you like.
32:22£60. And £5. £70.
32:25£70 is the bid. We are selling at £70.
32:35£70 is a £9 loss. How annoying.
32:38Here comes that fabulous pocket knife and fruit spoon and peeler.
32:43You paid £59. The rare pattern Edward VII.
32:48Silver mother of pearl bound pocket knife there.
32:51Added extra orange peeling spoon. And who's going to start me this one at £50?
32:55£50 for this one. £30 to go then. £30 is bid.
33:00£32. £35. £38. £40. £42. £45.
33:05£48. £50. £5 would we like. £55. £60 now.
33:10Yay!
33:11£60 at the back of the room. £65 now. £65 back online.
33:16£70 bid. £5 now. £70 is bid in the room.
33:19£75. £80. £80 bid. £5 now.
33:23£80 is bid. £5 would we like. £5 bid. £90.
33:27£85 I have. £90 anywhere now. Are we all sure? At £85.
33:34Nice. OK.
33:36£85. It's a £26 profit and minus nine means that you are 17 in profit overall.
33:43As we go into the third item, the measure and the measuring cup. £19 paid.
33:49Are we going to finish on a profit? Fingers crossed. Here it comes.
33:53The early 20th century cut glass measuring cup there.
33:57Engraved table and tea. Who's going to start with these ones at £20? £20 for the little measures there. £20.
34:03£10 to go then. £10 for £10. £5 then if we must.
34:08£5. £5 is bid. £6 bid would you like?
34:12Yes.
34:13£6 bid. £7 now. £6 is bid. £7 if we're coming back. £6 is the bid.
34:19Are we all sure? At £6? £6. I'm going to say not cool. That's not cool.
34:27So it's a £13 loss but you were up 17. Yes, you're still in profit by £4.
34:35OK. There's one more lot to sell. Arita is fully responsible for it.
34:39You left her £143. So please grab the bonus buy and ladies, please close your eyes and we'll see what
34:46Arita's come up with.
34:48Are you ready ladies? Yes.
34:50Wow.
34:53OK, yeah, that's really, really nice. I really like that.
34:56You fell in love with Mother of Pearl, didn't you? Yeah. She certainly did, yeah.
35:00It's a fruit knife but it is much larger than what you normally see. The detail is absolutely superb.
35:07How much did you pay for it? I paid £29.
35:11Wow, that's good. That's really good I feel like.
35:13Oh, thank you. I think it's really good.
35:15What do you think it's going to make?
35:17I think that will make probably £40-ish. That's where I would see it.
35:22You are £4 in profit after three lots on bargain handles.
35:27Every pound counts. Are you going to go with the bonus buy?
35:31I feel like, yeah. Yes.
35:32A hundred percent. Definitely.
35:34The Reds are going with the bonus buy. Kate is in love with Mother of Pearl. Is Kirsty in love
35:39with this knife?
35:41You've got the silver blade on there, the added extra of a bit of Mother of Pearl to the handle.
35:44It's 1871, so that's sort of Victorian era, so that explains why you've got the engraved name on there.
35:51Very much what they used to do.
35:53It was owned by a woman called Edith Peck and not everyone could afford something like this.
35:57Really nice piece. What's your estimate?
35:59We've put it in at £25-40.
36:01Aretha will be delighted. She only paid £29, which for something so classy seems like a great deal.
36:06Absolutely.
36:09Kirsty says £25-40, so she thinks £29 is a good ticket price.
36:14Right, let's turn £4 into something more fabulous. Here comes the bonus buy.
36:19The Victorian silver and Mother of Pearl bound pocket fruit knife there.
36:23£30 for this one. 30.
36:25£30 straight in.
36:27At £30 we have. Two anywhere. Are we all sure? We are selling.
36:32At £30.
36:34Yay!
36:37A £30 hammer, that £1 profit turns your four into five. And I tell you what, I don't know about
36:44you, but it feels like a moment. I am delighted for you.
36:53Andrew, Lucy, John, here we are. There are four on this team, officially. There's a wee baby in there.
36:59There is. So how is the baby giving you any signs as to whether or not you'll be making a
37:03profit today?
37:04It's pretty settled today, so hopefully that's a good sign.
37:06I like that. OK, just like the Reds, you decided to take off your big spend and your challenge, this
37:11time something with a connection to Staffordshire.
37:13You spent £77 on a 17th and 18th century lot. Shall we make a profit, Blues?
37:20Let's hope. Fingers crossed.
37:21Come on. The 18th century map of Staffordshire there. And who's going to start me this one at £50?
37:28£50 for the map of Staffordshire. Let's get going at £50.
37:31£50. £40 to go then. £40. Somebody bid me.
37:35£30, anybody.
37:37£30.
37:39£20, anybody.
37:41£20's bid. Two anywhere. £20 bid. Two would you like. At £20 is the bid.
37:45Are we all sure?
37:46£20. £20 I have. It's your last chance. Selling then at £20.
37:54Minus 57 on our first lot.
37:57It's a big chunk. It's a chunk, but don't worry. Can we make it up?
38:00A human skull. Not a real one, but a really good looking sculpture. It's £35.
38:05I think it's going to make more. I don't want to jinx it.
38:08Here we go. The composition human skull. Nice fun lot this one.
38:11£30. £20 to go then for the skull. £20.
38:15£20 is bid. Two anywhere. £20 bid. Two bid. £25. £28 would you like.
38:21£25 is GY. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
38:24£28. £30 bid. At £30 is bid. Two would we like.
38:28A couple more quick. Are we all sure? We are selling at £30.
38:32£30. I can't believe it. That's a £5 loss. So minus 57 becomes minus 62.
38:40And it's the £69 cocktail sticks. Here they come. This will bring it back.
38:44The set of six silver and enamel cocktail sticks there. Rooster tops. Really nice.
38:50Who's going to start me these ones at £50? £50 for those. £50.
38:53£30 to go then. £30. £30 is bid.
38:57Two bid. £35 bid. £38 would you like. £38 and £40.
39:02£40 is bid. Two bid. £42. £45. £45 is bid.
39:07£8 anywhere. We are selling at £45.
39:12The bidders were shaken but not stirred. They were absolutely.
39:16£45. So that is a £24 loss.
39:19I feel like we didn't do very well there, guys.
39:21Let me tell you how you did. Minus 62, minus 24 is minus 86 overall.
39:28Wow. How annoying.
39:29Now you left on £119.
39:32John, please grab your bonus buy and Blues, please close those eyes.
39:36So, John, over to you.
39:38Ready to open your eyes and be impressed?
39:41Hey! The Scotty.
39:43The Scotty dog.
39:45He's going to make money, isn't he?
39:46You liked this, didn't you? I loved it. Dad loved it.
39:49Wow, he's a special edition and do you want to know what to pay for him?
39:52Yes, please. Yeah, come on, how much you pay?
39:54£9. Whoa, bargain of the day.
39:57Yeah, we've got to go for it.
39:58So, you know, what have we got to lose?
40:00He's barking mad not to go, wouldn't we?
40:02I think he's got £15 in him.
40:04Yeah.
40:05Might claw a little bit back.
40:06Are you going with a bonus buy?
40:08Yes.
40:09I think we have to, don't we?
40:11So, the Blues have decided to go with the bonus buy.
40:13Of course they have, but what does Kirsty think?
40:17They are collectible items.
40:19The market has dropped off slightly for them over the years.
40:22I've put it in at £10 to £20.
40:24John only paid £9.
40:25So, in a weird way, you'll still be chuffed.
40:27Absolutely.
40:28Close one, but might get a return on that.
40:31Your bonus buy was purchased by John for £9.
40:34And Kirsty thinks £10 to £20.
40:36Wow.
40:37So, come on.
40:38We could be in profit.
40:39Well, not overall.
40:40However, Kirsty thinks you've made the right decision
40:43and John's desperate to make you a profit.
40:45So, here comes...
40:45We need at least one.
40:47The Wade Black Pottery figure of the Scotty Dog.
40:49There we go.
40:50£20 for this one for the little Scotty Dog.
40:52£20.
40:53£10, anybody?
40:54£10.
40:55Five to go then if we must.
40:57£5, anybody?
40:58£5.
40:59Five is the bid.
41:00Six bid.
41:01Seven.
41:02Oh.
41:02Eight bid.
41:03Nine bid.
41:04Ten.
41:05Yay!
41:08Ten is bid.
41:09Twelve anywhere.
41:10Are you all sure?
41:11At £10.
41:16I am so pleased for you.
41:18A £10 hammer is a £1 profit.
41:20John, thanks to you.
41:21Minus 86 becomes minus 85.
41:24Minus 85.
41:25And who's to say it's not a winning score?
41:27Stranger things have happened.
41:29I don't think it's a winning score.
41:36The world is waiting, teams.
41:38And I mean that.
41:39The world is desperate to know who has won the winning score.
41:42today's bargain hunt.
41:44And one team lost loads and one team made a tiny sum so our winners are the right!
41:55No, I don't think they did because they made £5.
41:58That's all they made.
42:00I will give you your money.
42:02I will let you hold it.
42:03I will let you play with it.
42:05But I will turn to our runners-up first.
42:08I'm not handing anything to you.
42:09You don't have to say how much.
42:10You lost £85.
42:12Yes!
42:13And you did it with style and somehow you laughed and smiled all the way through it.
42:18It's been great.
42:18We've had a lovely time.
42:20Yeah.
42:20Absolutely wonderful.
42:20Loved every minute.
42:21Thank you very much.
42:22I'm so pleased.
42:23Reds, you've done so well, relatively, because £5 today is a winning score.
42:30And what will you do with it?
42:31Are you going to invest it wisely?
42:33It's going on the wall.
42:34It's going on the wall?
42:35You're not even going to spend it, really?
42:37No.
42:38My photos, £5 note, on the wall.
42:40Oh, that's so lovely.
42:41I'm pleased that you had fun, team.
