00:04Antiques Roadshow
00:05has come ashore
00:06at the Coastal Main Botanical Gardens
00:09in Booth Bay
00:10You had this one framed beautifully
00:12Why this one?
00:13Because my wife said to
00:15That's good
00:16That's very good
00:36On a small peninsula
00:37on the rural coast of Maine
00:39you'll find the Coastal Main Botanical Gardens
00:42the largest garden in New England
00:46After 30 years of touring
00:48it's Roadshow's first visit to Maine
00:50and we couldn't be more pleased
00:52to see folks with their prized belongings
00:54coming in today
00:58The garden's flowers
00:59are bursting with vivid colors
01:01while our experts are bursting with excitement
01:03to see all of the treasures
01:05here in the Pine Tree State
01:16So this is a pair of candlesticks
01:19that were gifted to my great-grandmother
01:23and great-grandfather
01:24after they got married
01:25He was a veteran of World War I
01:28and ended up being critically wounded
01:31and was in hospital in London
01:33for months and months
01:34and after he was out
01:36he sent flowers and chocolates
01:38to all of the nurses
01:39and only one sent a thank you note back
01:41and it turned out to be
01:43my great-grandmother
01:50It's a gift from my father
01:52who was a Pan Am pilot
01:54from 1940
01:56through 1975
01:58and he made the acquaintance
02:01of a reservation supervisor
02:03and the guy gave him
02:05a year's worth
02:06of posters like this
02:08And how many of them do you have?
02:11I think we brought 14 with us
02:13and there's about
02:13three or four more
02:15that we've already given to
02:16members of the family
02:17And yet you had this one framed
02:20and framed beautifully
02:21Why this one?
02:23Because my wife said to
02:25That's the first thing
02:27The intent for this
02:28was to be mounted in a bathroom
02:30that has similar coloring
02:32and it seemed to fit perfectly
02:34and we loved the colors
02:36plus the airplane
02:37Boeing 377
02:39which at the time
02:40was their most luxurious
02:42airplane flying
02:44I am so happy
02:46that you are
02:47plain familiar
02:50because part of the glory
02:51of this poster
02:52is the aircraft itself
02:53Boeing 377
02:55Stratocruiser
02:56Right
02:57One of the most luxurious
02:58double-decker
02:59inside
02:59it was the lap of luxury
03:01one of Pan Am's
03:02great vehicles
03:03I believe they flew from 1947
03:07through 1963
03:08Did your dad pilot one of those?
03:10No
03:10He did not
03:11However, I have ridden on one
03:13with him
03:14en route to Europe one time
03:15and it is beautiful
03:17There was a lounge
03:18first class lounge
03:20down at the bottom
03:20of the airplane
03:21It was really nice
03:22Amazing
03:23They called it
03:23the golden age of travel
03:24and that's really why
03:25It was also the golden age
03:27of travel posters
03:28and this is
03:29a Pan Am airline
03:31travel poster
03:32from 1949
03:33and it's by
03:34a Russian-American artist
03:36named Boris Artsy Bashev
03:37He did a lot of
03:39magazine covers
03:39so Time Magazine
03:41Fortune Magazine
03:42He also did a lot
03:43of corporate work
03:44for Xerox
03:45for Shell
03:46and for Pan Am
03:48and this poster
03:49advertising travel
03:50to Bermuda
03:51which depicts
03:52Bermuda
03:53as this verdant island
03:54in the midst
03:55of this delightfully
03:56azure blue ocean
03:58We have the capital
04:00of Bermuda
04:01Hamilton
04:01indicated by the star
04:04We have this
04:05dare I say
04:06sexy
04:07mermaid
04:08sort of emerging
04:09from the water
04:10as the island does
04:12almost embracing it
04:13She's also holding
04:14these absolutely
04:16wonderful
04:16Bermuda
04:17Easter lilies
04:18Now
04:19what I don't see
04:21is that
04:22this poster
04:23should have
04:23white margins
04:24all the way around it
04:25so perhaps
04:26when it was framed
04:27those margins
04:28were covered over
04:29simply for aesthetic reasons
04:31and I'm hoping
04:32that they're still there
04:34They are
04:34They are still there
04:36Excellent
04:36So we were told
04:37Yes
04:38And so you're telling me
04:40So
04:41what is this piece worth?
04:44Hopefully more than the frame
04:48Begs the question
04:49how much did you pay
04:50for the frame
04:52About $700
04:53$700
04:57$700
04:57I admire
04:58how much you love your wife
05:01And how you do what she says
05:02and I think that's great
05:04Assuming
05:05that the margins
05:06are still here
05:07At auction
05:09I would estimate
05:10this piece
05:10between $8,000
05:11and $12,000
05:14Seriously?
05:16Wow
05:18That's
05:20frightening
05:21That a piece of paper
05:23is worth that much
05:25If it turns out
05:26the margins aren't here
05:27and what we see
05:28is what we get
05:29it would still be
05:30a $4,000
05:30or $5,000
05:31Wow
05:31Very impressive
05:33Yeah
05:35We call him
05:36Neptune Man
05:37and the rest of my family
05:39really thinks
05:40I'm crazy
05:41for buying him
05:42I paid
05:43Put your hands
05:44over your ears, honey
05:45I paid about
05:46It was about $700
05:49Yeah
05:49I know
05:50But I loved it
05:51I just
05:52What can I say?
05:55Well
05:55I know that
05:56my great-grandfather
05:57was the first
05:58employee
05:59of the
05:59Atwood and McManus
06:00box company
06:01in Chelsea, Massachusetts
06:02way back when
06:05and I know
06:05a number of members
06:06of my family
06:07worked there as well
06:08One of my relatives
06:09took the sign
06:14Here you have
06:15Miss Louisa
06:16and I have known
06:17Miss Louisa
06:17since I was about
06:19five years old
06:20I have a picture
06:21of my mother
06:22and Miss Louisa
06:23together
06:24and the picture
06:25was taken in 1920
06:27when my mother
06:28was about five years old
06:29and this was in Pennsylvania
06:30where my mother grew up
06:32So other than that
06:34I know my mother
06:34played with her
06:35obviously
06:35because she was holding her
06:37I was not allowed
06:37to play with her
06:38She was just to sit quietly
06:40under the Christmas tree
06:41and look very
06:42serene and spiritual
06:44So we know
06:45she's been in your family
06:46since at least 1920
06:47Correct
06:47So Miss Louisa
06:49is about 100 years
06:52before that almost
06:53Oh wow
06:53So Miss Louisa
06:54comes about 1830
06:55That's wonderful
06:56Yeah
06:57So she is
06:58an American paper mache
06:59and there's a cloth body
07:00that's all hand sewn
07:02under here
07:02and these dolls
07:03are usually Philadelphia
07:04Yeah
07:05East Coast area
07:06She has a body
07:07similar to
07:08some of the dolls
07:08made in Philadelphia
07:09which were Griner dolls
07:11with these individual
07:12made fingers
07:13individual stitched toes
07:15It is a paper mache
07:16These were handmade
07:18hand painted
07:19A lot of times
07:19you see ones
07:20that are very feminine
07:21looking
07:22This one's a little
07:23more masculine
07:23but we do know
07:24it is a female
07:25because of that
07:25part in the middle
07:27of her face there
07:28She would have been
07:29a special
07:30special mean doll
07:31So not cheap
07:33meaning that she
07:33made was five dollars
07:34Yeah
07:35As opposed to a dollar
07:36Yeah
07:36Back then
07:37which is a lot of money
07:37Miss Louisa
07:38in her condition
07:39that she is in
07:40and obviously her clothing
07:41has gotten old
07:43but it's her original clothing
07:44and 1830s
07:46is a long time ago
07:47So we don't expect her
07:48to look new or pristine
07:49Her value at a doll show
07:51would be anywhere
07:52from $2,500 to $4,000
07:53Oh my
07:55Oh that's wonderful
07:56My kids will be super pleased
07:59and my mother would be too
08:09So we're in the Giles
08:11Rhododendron and Perennial Garden
08:12It was the first garden
08:15that was designed
08:16and planned here
08:16at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
08:18and it's the pristine location
08:21for rhododendrons
08:22and their companions
08:23just because of the location
08:25on this gentle slope
08:28Rhododendrons prefer
08:29the type of habitat
08:31and cultural conditions
08:32where we have
08:33the well-drained soils
08:34and they've just performed
08:35really well here
08:36And we're fortunate
08:38to have over 175
08:39different varieties
08:40of rhododendrons
08:41and also rhododendron species
08:43as well
08:43here in this garden
08:44and it's absolutely spectacular
08:50This is a cast iron birdhouse
08:53I remember it
08:54my grandparents' house
08:55it was mounted on a post
08:57out in the yard
08:59As a little kid
09:00we would play
09:01and it was always there
09:02birds around it
09:03What is so cool about this
09:06is it's not just any house
09:08this is Clifton House
09:10and Clifton House
09:11is a house that still exists
09:13to this day
09:14in Roslyn Harbor, New York
09:16on Long Island
09:17Clifton House
09:18is a Flemish
09:19Gothic Revival-style home
09:21by architect
09:22Frederick Copley
09:23of New York
09:24constructed in 1862
09:26to 1863
09:27Just a few years later
09:28in 1868
09:30the Miller Iron Company
09:32in Providence, Rhode Island
09:33made this model
09:35of Clifton House
09:36as a birdhouse
09:37It is stamped
09:39Patent 1868
09:41and it is likely
09:43either made that year
09:44or very shortly thereafter
09:46The Miller Iron Company
09:47would have issued
09:49this birdhouse
09:50in plain cast iron
09:52and so this was later
09:53painted by someone
09:55and this red roof
09:57with green detailing
09:58and white brick sides
10:00would have been
10:01an appropriate color scheme
10:02probably in the early
10:0320th century
10:04when this entered
10:06your family's possession
10:08Clifton House
10:09as it is today
10:11is not painted
10:12in this color scheme
10:13and we don't know
10:14if it was ever painted
10:15this color scheme
10:16but this is such
10:17an important example
10:20of American
10:21Gothic Revival
10:22decorative art
10:23that examples of this
10:25have entered
10:26museum collections
10:26including
10:27the Cooper Hewitt
10:28Smithsonian Design Museum
10:29and the Metropolitan Museum
10:31of Art
10:31in New York City
10:32in their American wing
10:34and examples
10:35have appeared at auction
10:36but none of them
10:38except one example
10:39I have been able to find
10:41have this
10:42what I believe
10:43to be original
10:44open work base
10:46that you have
10:47under the birdhouse
10:48where this would then
10:49be mounted
10:49on a pole
10:51outside for a birdhouse
10:52Right, right, right
10:53The house is
10:54held together
10:55by a long
10:56central screw
10:59Here in the back
11:00we see the top of it
11:02near the mark
11:03of the Miller Iron Company
11:04of Providence, Rhode Island
11:05We can see the occasional
11:08small lacking element
11:09There's a small piece
11:10of this stair banister
11:12that's missing
11:14and a couple of
11:16lacking chimney pots
11:17a couple of other
11:18very small lacking elements
11:19but overall
11:20it's still an amazing condition
11:21considering its age
11:22I would advise you
11:24to insure it
11:25Okay
11:25for $12,000
11:28Wow
11:29Really?
11:31I will definitely do that
11:34because right now
11:35it's just sitting at home
11:36on a shelf
11:36you know
11:37catching dust
11:38so
11:38that's awesome
11:39Yeah
11:40unbelievable
11:40always been a dream
11:42to be here
11:42so that's awesome
11:43Thank you
11:48So this is a Gibson L5
11:51it's custom
11:52from what I understand
11:53my great uncle's
11:55wife's brother
11:56had polio
11:57when he was a kid
11:58so he needed
12:00a special kind of guitar
12:01and we think
12:02it's maybe 50, 60s
12:08So this is based off
12:10of a fish
12:10that my grandfather
12:11and my dad caught
12:12back in the early 70s
12:14when my dad was about
12:15seven years old
12:16I believe
12:16and my grandfather
12:19had it stored in a freezer
12:20for like over two years
12:22and his brother
12:24took the fish
12:25out of the freezer
12:25one day
12:26and just told him
12:26he tossed it
12:27but he actually sent it
12:28over to a local
12:29Wayne artist
12:29to have this fish carved
12:31as far as we know
12:33like a scale replica
12:34of that fish
12:35that they had
12:37Today I brought
12:38a cream pot
12:40forged by Paul Revere
12:41in a diary
12:43belonging to
12:45Thaddeus Harris
12:46and his portrait
12:47So it's interesting
12:48that there's
12:48a contemporary journal
12:50and he was the son
12:51of the person
12:51who actually
12:52of the man
12:52who owned
12:53this cream pitcher
12:54Yes, William Harris
12:54So the diary
12:56is depicting
12:57the night
12:58that they left
12:58Charlestown
12:59because they got
13:00intel that the
13:01regulars were coming
13:02When you say
13:03the regulars
13:04that means
13:05the British Army
13:06Yeah, the British Army
13:07So they grabbed
13:08a bundle
13:10of important papers
13:11and some linens
13:14some silver plate
13:16this cream pot
13:18and some spoons
13:19and obviously
13:20the wife and children
13:22and the mother-in-law
13:24and fled
13:25to Lexington
13:26They didn't stay
13:27there long
13:28because the Battle
13:29of Concord
13:30in Lexington
13:30had just happened
13:32on April 19th
13:34What year was that?
13:351775
13:36And so they
13:38left Lexington
13:40and went out
13:40to Sterling Mass
13:41where they felt
13:42that they were safer
13:43Okay
13:44Paul Revere
13:45of course
13:46is the one
13:47maker of colonial silver
13:48that any collector
13:49would really want
13:50to have
13:51By colonial silver
13:52I mean silver made
13:53before America
13:55became the United States
13:57when it was still
13:57the 13 colonies
13:58and owned by England
14:01Paul Revere
14:02was a silversmith
14:03in Boston
14:03His father
14:04had also been
14:05a silversmith
14:05This picture
14:07was probably
14:07relatively new
14:09at the time
14:09that this incident
14:10occurred
14:11It's a neoclassical
14:13in style
14:13It's a helmet
14:14formed picture
14:15and it's got
14:16some very lovely
14:17engraving
14:18on the outside
14:18of it
14:19with some initials
14:20as showing
14:20who it belonged
14:21to in the family
14:22and then
14:22the mark
14:23of Paul Revere Jr.
14:24on the back
14:25of the foot
14:27A similar creamer
14:28sold
14:28this year
14:302025
14:30for a little
14:31over $25,000
14:33I think
14:34with the archival
14:35material
14:35that you have
14:37the story
14:38of it
14:38relating to
14:39having been
14:40something
14:40that was
14:41saved
14:41from being
14:42stolen
14:42by the
14:43British Army
14:44makes it
14:45a very interesting
14:46story
14:46and adds
14:47some value
14:47to it
14:48I would say
14:49that if this
14:50were to come up
14:50at a public
14:51auction
14:51of American
14:52silver
14:53the picture
14:54combined
14:55with the archival
14:55material
14:56and the miniature
14:56portrait
14:57would bring in
14:57the neighborhood
14:58of $25,000
15:00to $30,000
15:02and as it's
15:03property of your
15:04family
15:04and has historical
15:05importance
15:05to your family
15:06I'm sure
15:06you're not
15:06going to sell it
15:07so I would put
15:09an insurance value
15:10of $40,000
15:11to $60,000
15:12on it
15:13Wow
15:14That's amazing
15:25I've had it
15:26probably 15
15:27years or so
15:28came from my
15:29father's basement
15:29after he was
15:30deceased
15:30and his
15:32grandfather
15:32made it
15:33who immigrated
15:34from Sweden
15:35into Maine
15:36with my two-year-old
15:38grandmother
15:39When was this?
15:401888
15:41they came to Maine
15:41and they pretty much
15:42settled in
15:43Stockholm, Maine
15:45where he started
15:45a business
15:46he built some boats
15:47and he had a cottage
15:49on Madawaska Lake
15:50he eventually
15:51had a store
15:52and it was like
15:53a stagecoach stop
15:54where wayfaring
15:55travelers would stay
15:56there and maybe
15:57get a meal
15:57he spoke no English
15:59he made this
16:00I'm guessing
16:00about 1900
16:02maybe a little bit
16:03before
16:03it's a Swedish
16:04soldier
16:05I was told
16:06it's a uniform
16:08from like 1865
16:10I'm just guessing
16:11that perhaps
16:12my great-grandfather
16:13had it
16:14on his store
16:15maybe he was
16:16trying to reel
16:17in some customers
16:18or something like that
16:19yeah
16:19that's a really
16:20good guess
16:20it's sort of
16:21a trade figure
16:22that he had
16:22out in front
16:23of the store
16:23to attract people
16:25in
16:25this is solid wood
16:26the bottom
16:28of his jacket
16:28is made out
16:29of some sort
16:30of painted
16:30oil cloth
16:31his cross belt
16:33here is probably
16:34gold foil
16:35that was pressed
16:37onto the surface
16:37and his little
16:39metal here
16:39or his medallion
16:40here is also
16:41gold foil
16:42the belt
16:43is leather
16:44and someone
16:45has punched
16:46out that piece
16:47of metal
16:48to make a
16:49military style
16:50belt
16:50it's fabulous
16:51it looks like
16:52it was at one
16:53time
16:53very blue
16:55if you can see
16:56the blue color
16:56here
16:57everything about
16:58this just
16:59screams
17:00quality
17:01what we all
17:03love about it
17:03is the surface
17:04it has never
17:05been cleaned
17:06it has never
17:07been repainted
17:08and that's what
17:09folk art collectors
17:10just love to see
17:11it's the original
17:13surface of the figure
17:14you can see
17:16in the guy's face
17:17the bumping
17:18the little crackling
17:20from where the
17:21varnish is
17:22aged and shrunk
17:23and same things
17:24on the paddles
17:25here
17:25I mean that's
17:26fabulous
17:27that alligatoring
17:29like that
17:29comes from age
17:31there's a story
17:32that you have
17:32about this
17:33what did you do
17:34with it
17:34family's got a place
17:35on the lake
17:36in central maine
17:36and I
17:38it was really windy
17:39that was yesterday
17:40so I wanted to
17:41put it on the dock
17:42because I wanted
17:43to see how it behaved
17:44it had some movement
17:45his arms didn't go
17:46flailing or anything
17:47like that
17:48but he twisted
17:48in the wind
17:49a little bit
17:49and I had to keep
17:50my foot on the base
17:51because I didn't
17:52want him to take a swim
17:54but that was the
17:54first time really
17:55I've ever
17:56spent any time
17:57with a young man
17:58so we all
18:00put our heads
18:01together
18:01and thought
18:02that a good
18:02auction estimate
18:03for this figure
18:04would be
18:04$8,000 to $12,000
18:08interesting
18:10if it were
18:10an American figure
18:12we would probably
18:13have doubled
18:13that estimate
18:14but it's a great
18:15figure
18:16it's the best
18:17whirligig that I've
18:18seen in 29 years
18:19on the road show
18:20don't put it out
18:21on the dock
18:22anymore
18:22he twisted
18:24a little bit
18:25in the breeze
18:25so do I
18:29these are my
18:30grandmothers
18:30our grandmothers
18:31she was born
18:32in about
18:331895
18:34it's her
18:35porch bowl
18:36and cup
18:37it's got her
18:38initials on it
18:38it's very precious
18:39to us
18:40because it's
18:40gone through
18:41all four
18:41of my children
18:42and 11
18:43grandchildren
18:44so it's a
18:45little
18:46it didn't sit
18:47in the cupboard
18:48it's been used
18:49I'm going to see
18:50if anybody else
18:50loves it
18:54so this chair
18:55was left
18:56in my parents
18:57basement
18:57by my
18:59brother-in-law
19:00what I do know
19:01about it
19:01is it's a
19:02high frequency
19:04therapy chair
19:05it would have
19:06electrodes
19:07that you can
19:08connect to your
19:09hand
19:11ultraviolet
19:11vacuum tubes
19:12and a lot of
19:14things I don't
19:15understand
19:15so I'm not
19:17a doctor
19:18and even if I
19:20was I probably
19:20wouldn't know
19:21this medicine
19:21it's pretty old
19:28this was my
19:28grandfather's watch
19:29he was in the
19:30navy
19:30I'm not exactly
19:31sure how he came
19:32about owning it
19:34I know it's a
19:34Rolex
19:35okay
19:36other than that
19:37I don't really
19:38know anything
19:38the watch is a
19:39Rolex GMT
19:40it's called a
19:41pointed crown guard
19:43which means that
19:44the guard that
19:45holds the crown
19:46comes to a point
19:47that was the
19:48early version
19:49of the GMT
19:50it's a model
19:511675
19:52the hands
19:53appear to be
19:54original
19:54the bezel
19:56insert
19:56which is called
19:57a ghost bezel
19:58this would have
19:59been blue
20:00and red
20:01and over
20:02decades of wear
20:03it's faded
20:04and now the
20:05term is called
20:06a ghost bezel
20:06the most interesting
20:08thing about it
20:09is the dial
20:10and the dial
20:11is now called
20:12a tropical dial
20:13the dial
20:14would originally
20:15have been
20:15a black
20:16gilt dial
20:17and over
20:18the years
20:18it's oxidized
20:19and the lacquer
20:20has turned
20:21and it now
20:22has a absolutely
20:23gorgeous color
20:24of sort of
20:25a honey brown
20:25that's lovely
20:26I just thought
20:27it was dirty
20:28so if you
20:29followed the rules
20:30and you sent
20:31the watch in
20:32as Rolex would
20:32say every
20:33seven to ten
20:34years
20:34that dial
20:35and hands
20:36and insert
20:37would have
20:37been changed
20:38out at least
20:38one time
20:40he didn't
20:40follow the rules
20:41no
20:42and you're lucky
20:43at this point
20:44that he didn't
20:44because when
20:45you had service
20:46dials they're
20:47just worth a
20:47fraction of
20:48what an original
20:49dial is worth
20:49so it would
20:51appear that this
20:52dial has been
20:52on since the
20:53watch is new
20:53which was probably
20:54right around 1960
20:55we can't tell if
20:56the crystal was
20:57original or not
20:58it's very scarred
21:00it's been on
21:00there for decades
21:02the bracelet
21:03is an oyster
21:03bracelet
21:04now there's a date
21:05code on the
21:06bracelet which
21:07dates it to
21:08the summer of
21:091968
21:10so the watch
21:12would have been
21:12about eight years
21:13old and more
21:13than likely
21:14he for whatever
21:15reason changed
21:15the bracelet
21:16out
21:16it's the
21:17original style
21:18bracelet
21:18and all the
21:19bracelets during
21:20that time period
21:21all looked
21:22fairly similar
21:22it showed two
21:23time zones
21:24simultaneous
21:25oh okay
21:25so it was used
21:26by a lot of
21:27service people
21:27and they were
21:28sold in many
21:29of the army
21:30and navy stores
21:31throughout the
21:31world
21:32it would have
21:32retailed for
21:33somewhere between
21:33$275 and
21:35$325
21:36what do you think
21:37of value
21:38honestly
21:39I thought like
21:40$1000 maybe
21:41the retail value
21:42of a watch
21:43in this condition
21:44would be in
21:45the $40,000
21:47to $45,000
21:49price range
21:51you guys really
21:52like to go for
21:53the shock value
21:54don't you
21:56that's crazy
21:59I'm going to
22:00be very careful
22:01about where it
22:02goes when we
22:02get home
22:03a watch with
22:04a service style
22:04and service hands
22:05would be worth
22:06in like the $15,000
22:07to $16,000
22:08price range
22:11this is an
22:12original illustration
22:13done by H.A. Ray
22:15for the first
22:16Curious George book
22:17it was drawn in
22:18Paris just before
22:19the start of
22:20World War II
22:21so 85 years ago
22:23the German army
22:25was approaching
22:26Paris
22:27and the Rays
22:28who were German
22:30Jews
22:30managed to escape
22:32on bicycles
22:34that Ray
22:35made himself
22:35out of bicycle parts
22:37and they escaped
22:38with this drawing
22:39in their backpack
22:40and made it out
22:42of France
22:42and eventually
22:43to America
22:44my father
22:45worked for the
22:46Houghton Mifflin
22:46Company
22:47that published
22:47the first H.A. Ray
22:49books
22:50including
22:50Curious George
22:51he became
22:52sort of like
22:52an uncle
22:53to us children
22:54he was a
22:54wonderful character
22:55and so
22:56when I got married
22:57he gave it to us
22:58as a wedding present
22:59what's your favorite
23:00thing about this
23:01illustration in particular
23:02I like the happiness
23:04Curious George
23:06and the whole escape
23:07of the Rays
23:08from Paris
23:09are intertwined
23:10they got into
23:11serious trouble
23:12in Paris
23:12and escaped
23:13and all the
23:14Curious George books
23:15have the same theme
23:16of Curious George
23:17getting into trouble
23:18and escaping
23:19and then finding
23:20happiness
23:21and here he is
23:22finding happiness
23:23in the zoo
23:23so the work
23:24is dated
23:25from 1940
23:26but it also
23:27is inscribed to you
23:28when he gave you
23:29the gift
23:29on your wedding
23:30it says
23:31to Christopher
23:32and Mary Jane
23:33with love
23:34and all good wishes
23:35from the Rays
23:37July 20th
23:381968
23:40H.A. Ray
23:41and Margaret Ray
23:43were both from Germany
23:44they I think
23:45knew each other
23:46when they were quite young
23:47and then kind of
23:47got reunited
23:48later in life
23:49and ultimately
23:50got married in 1935
23:52and moved to the
23:53very romantic city
23:54of Paris
23:55as the war went on
23:56it did become
23:56a little bit
23:57too dangerous
23:58for them to stay
23:59and the story
24:00of them getting out
24:01is remarkable
24:02on bike
24:03with not very much
24:04at all
24:05and only five
24:06manuscripts
24:07with them
24:08so to have something
24:09that came
24:10out of that time
24:11left Paris
24:12with them
24:13he thought prized
24:14enough to bring along
24:15and to have that
24:16then given to you
24:18many years later
24:19to I'm sure
24:20he entrusted it to you
24:21and was definitely
24:22feeling like it was
24:23a special thing
24:24to pass on
24:25the work
24:26is a combination
24:27of charcoal
24:29watercolor
24:30colored pencil
24:31on paper
24:31on the back
24:32there is an inscription
24:34it says
24:34Christopher
24:35this is the
24:37original drawing
24:38for the end page
24:40of the first
24:41Curious George book
24:43done while we were
24:44living in France
24:45ancient history
24:47isn't it
24:48in the larger market
24:49of the art world
24:50and illustration art
24:53this has everything
24:54going for it
24:55it's from the first book
24:56it's the final illustration
25:00George is having
25:01so much fun
25:02that smile
25:03it's what we all think of
25:04when we think of
25:05of Curious George
25:06they don't come to market
25:07a lot
25:08so they're
25:08they're also kind of
25:09quite rare
25:10in that way
25:11an auction estimate
25:12would be
25:12$15,000 to $25,000
25:15okay
25:17that's great
25:18thank you
25:19an insurance value
25:20should be $30,000
25:22okay
25:23great
25:23thank you
25:23I'll call my broker
25:26Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
25:28is known
25:29for its beautifully
25:30cultivated spaces
25:31and wild areas
25:32but these incredible
25:34colossal trolls
25:35built by Danish artist
25:37Thomas Dambo
25:38and over 150
25:39local volunteers
25:41have a gigantic appeal
25:42this installation
25:44is called
25:44the Guardians of the Seeds
25:45and so each troll
25:46represents a different
25:48part of the tree
25:49and they're spread out
25:50so people have to
25:51walk through the woods
25:52to find them
25:53and there's a really nice
25:55kind of story
25:56and lesson
25:57that goes with them
25:58about the importance
26:00of trees
26:00and biodiversity
26:01and protecting
26:02the ecosystem
26:04but Thomas' art
26:06is so fantastic
26:08and magical
26:09that it kind of
26:10you don't even realize
26:11that you're learning
26:12these lessons
26:13and that you're appreciating
26:14why protecting trees
26:15is important
26:16they're giant
26:17I mean the biggest one here
26:19is 35 feet high
26:20so that is the size
26:21of a tree
26:22and they're built
26:24out of recycled wood
26:26so pallets
26:27castoffs from mills
26:29in Maine
26:30the faces were built
26:31in his shop
26:32over in Denmark
26:33so in order to build
26:35the trolls
26:36it was a community effort
26:37and that's a big part
26:38of Thomas Stambo's ethos
26:40and a big part
26:41of what we do here
26:48this is an
26:49I believe
26:50ambro type
26:51political pin
26:53from Abraham Lincoln
26:54he's without the beard
26:56I believe it's
26:57from 1860
26:58and it's been
27:00in my family
27:01since my
27:02great-great-grandfather
27:03who lived in
27:04Searsport, Maine
27:05and it's been
27:06passed down
27:07through my grandmother's
27:08family to me
27:09and what was his name?
27:11Edwin Sargent
27:12okay
27:12he must have purchased it
27:14or acquired it
27:15during his lifetime
27:16so it's a campaign pin
27:18it was used
27:19for his campaign
27:20in 1860
27:21he came to New York
27:22to do a lecture
27:23at Cooper Union
27:25he had his new
27:26$100 suit on
27:28which I think
27:29is close to $4,000
27:30in today's money
27:33that shows you
27:34that he really wanted
27:34to make himself
27:37very presentable
27:39and be seen
27:40in the right light
27:41but a historian
27:43said that he still
27:44looked very frumpy
27:45in his suit
27:46so I guess
27:46maybe it wasn't worth it
27:47he had his photograph
27:49taken by a very famous
27:51photographer
27:52Matthew Brady
27:53who is known
27:55for producing
27:56some of the best photographs
27:57that we have
27:58of Lincoln today
27:59now the photograph
28:00that was originally taken
28:02shows Lincoln
28:03from the knees up
28:05so it's a very large
28:06almost full length
28:08portrait
28:08and obviously
28:09has been cropped down
28:10here
28:11to fit this format
28:13this was the first time
28:14that photographs
28:15were used
28:16for a presidential campaign
28:18to promote
28:19a candidate
28:20and it played
28:21a major role
28:22because this image
28:23by Matthew Brady
28:24was hugely popular
28:27made into postcards
28:29put in Harper's Weekly
28:31and I mean
28:31it was everywhere
28:32so the back paper
28:34tells us
28:35that even though
28:36the photograph
28:36was taken by Matthew Brady
28:37the amber type itself
28:38was made by George Clark
28:40he's the one
28:41that was actually
28:42responsible
28:43for turning this image
28:45into the campaign pins
28:46and unfortunately
28:47that part is ripped
28:49and then we look
28:51at the front
28:51and these photographs
28:54were extremely susceptible
28:56to flaking
28:58of the emulsion
28:59off of that glass plate
29:01which is what makes
29:02an amber type
29:03an amber type
29:03so unfortunately
29:04there is a little bit
29:06of loss there
29:07but overall
29:08I think that the saturation
29:10of this image
29:11is really nice
29:12for its age
29:13the brass mat
29:15is in really good condition
29:16these photographs
29:18are very rare
29:19we don't see
29:20very many of them
29:21at all
29:22definitely under 50
29:23probably under 30
29:25there's one in the collection
29:27of the National Portrait Gallery
29:29really it's going to come down
29:31to how saturated
29:32that image is
29:33how punchy it is
29:34and the condition
29:35of that information
29:37on the back
29:37so it's really
29:38the full package
29:39I'd say
29:41at an auction
29:41probably $12,000
29:43to $18,000
29:44wow
29:45wow
29:46that's amazing
29:47I think it's really special
29:48nice
29:49thank you so much
29:50I'm so honored
29:51that it was passed down
29:52to me
29:52I've seen photographs
29:54in the campaign
29:55pin format
29:56sell for upwards
29:57of $30,000
30:00it's my dad's guitar
30:02he acquired it back
30:04in 1963
30:06his mother bought it
30:07for him
30:07at a music store
30:09in Ardmore, Pennsylvania
30:10and it had it shipped
30:11to him
30:12at Langley Air Force Base
30:14in Virginia
30:15that same year
30:16and this is your father
30:17with the picture
30:18right next to you
30:18over there?
30:19so this is a picture
30:20of my father
30:21from the talent show
30:23that he was in
30:23at Langley Air Force Base
30:25that he won
30:26he looks pretty happy
30:27right there
30:28he's a very happy guy
30:29yeah
30:30you have
30:31indeed
30:31it's a 1963
30:32I checked the serial number
30:34Martin D28
30:36which is kind of
30:38the workhorse
30:39of the Martin line
30:40ever since
30:40the early 1930s
30:42when the first one
30:42was made
30:43it's called
30:44a dreadnought shape
30:45it's a big
30:46booming
30:46great guitar
30:48even today
30:48they still make
30:49the same guitar
30:50it's kind of
30:51the go-to guitar
30:52for bluegrass
30:53and folk music
30:54it's probably
30:55the best known
30:56acoustic guitar
30:57in the world
30:59Martin moved
31:00from Germany
31:01to New York City
31:03in 1833
31:04where he made
31:05guitars up until
31:06they moved to
31:07Nazareth, Pennsylvania
31:08where they are today
31:10it's constructed
31:11of a spruce top
31:13and Brazilian rosewood
31:14back and sides
31:15and a mahogany neck
31:17the Brazilian rosewood
31:19is rare wood
31:20and is on the
31:21endangered species list
31:22now
31:22but it was really
31:24Martin's go-to
31:25back and sidewood
31:27for all of their
31:28high-end guitars
31:29so this is
31:30an incredibly
31:32nice condition
31:33it really looks
31:34near mint
31:36he must have
31:36really taken care
31:37of this
31:38wiped it down
31:39every time
31:40he used it
31:41and I was not
31:41allowed to play it
31:42at all
31:43or if I did
31:44I mean it was
31:45very like
31:45five minutes
31:46you had to sneak it
31:47as wonderful
31:48as the Martin
31:49Guitar Company
31:50is and was
31:51back through
31:52the 50s
31:53and the 60s
31:54and the 70s
31:55these guitars
31:57almost always
31:58needed a neck set
31:59almost brand new
32:00out of the factory
32:01and that's the one
32:03issue with this guitar
32:05is it really does
32:06need a neck set
32:07meaning that
32:07the string action
32:08is quite high
32:10as it comes down
32:11the fingerboard
32:12and I'll also mention
32:13that the nice bright green
32:16of the interior
32:16of this case
32:17you don't see that
32:18too often either
32:19the case is original
32:20and beautiful
32:21and the guitar
32:22is original
32:23and beautiful
32:23do you have any idea
32:24what he paid for it
32:25his mother paid
32:26$269.50
32:28for it
32:30back in 1963
32:311963
32:32yeah
32:32this guitar today
32:34that retail
32:35would bring
32:35between $12,000
32:38and $12,500
32:39come on
32:41wow
32:42no way
32:43yeah
32:44no really
32:46holy
32:46wow
32:47I am shocked
32:49it's really
32:50one of the nicest
32:51D28s I've ever seen
32:52no come on
32:53yeah beautiful
32:53he's going to be
32:54so excited
32:56it came from
32:57my mother's
32:58neighbor's house
32:58I actually had
33:00the opportunity
33:00of cleaning the house
33:01out after the
33:02neighbor passed away
33:03and I found
33:05this large doll
33:06collection
33:06and this was in it
33:07it's a Ricky Jr. doll
33:08which is like
33:10Lucio Ball
33:10and Desi Arnaz's
33:12child
33:13eyes closed
33:15I think it does
33:16make a noise
33:23this is a tabletop
33:25butter churn
33:26with a dasher
33:28I got it
33:29at an auction
33:31it came in a lot
33:32with another butter churn
33:34I think I paid
33:35about $85 for both
33:36I don't really know
33:38a lot about
33:39butter churns
33:40so I thought
33:42I'd bring it
33:42and find out
33:48it's my wife's
33:49grandparents'
33:50clock
33:50purchased by
33:52her grandfather
33:52my wife remembers
33:54it always being
33:55in the house
33:56growing up
33:56I know it's
33:57J.E. Caldwell
33:58I don't know
33:59if he was the
33:59manufacturer
34:00or if he was
34:01more of a
34:02importer
34:02and reseller
34:03well he was
34:04actually a
34:05retailer
34:05and his
34:07retail shop
34:08in Philadelphia
34:09became the
34:09biggest in the
34:10city
34:10they became
34:11very well known
34:12for selling
34:13clocks of the
34:14highest grade
34:15so the case form
34:16is called a
34:16bracket clock
34:17it's a form
34:18that was made
34:19for a couple
34:20of centuries
34:21this is the
34:22Victorian example
34:23meaning that it
34:24was probably made
34:24about 1880
34:26or so
34:26it represents
34:28the best of
34:29its category
34:30in terms of
34:31having a very
34:32solidly built
34:33robust mechanism
34:34with fusee
34:36compensation
34:37it has
34:39a number of
34:40features which
34:41are displayed
34:41here on the
34:42dial
34:42here you have
34:43a shut off
34:44for the
34:44strike portion
34:46of the clock
34:46you can turn
34:47this clock
34:47silent so it
34:48just ticks
34:48or you can
34:50turn it on
34:50and it'll do
34:51the quarter hour
34:52striking as well
34:53as the hour
34:53striking
34:54and then the
34:55center dial
34:56here actually
34:57is for rating
34:58the clock
34:58so temperature
35:00is a variant
35:01that affects
35:03clocks greatly
35:03warm rooms
35:04they slow down
35:05cold rooms
35:06they speed up
35:06instead of having
35:08to turn this
35:08clock around
35:09and actually
35:09adjust the pendulum
35:10you can do
35:11some fine
35:12adjusting from
35:12the front of
35:13the dial
35:13the case is
35:14mahogany
35:15the finest
35:16wood
35:16you can see
35:17that it is
35:18wonderfully adorned
35:19with all kinds
35:21of brass
35:22appointments
35:22full Corinthian
35:23capitals
35:24on the
35:24fluted
35:25columns
35:26chased feet
35:27with roses
35:28applied
35:30swags
35:30other flowers
35:31and florals
35:32and here you
35:33have this
35:33classical
35:33theme
35:34just below
35:35the dome
35:35five finials
35:37with floral
35:38tops
35:39it's just
35:39absolutely
35:40over the top
35:41in terms of
35:41quality
35:42and the tune
35:43selection helps
35:43us date the
35:44clock
35:44one of the tunes
35:45is Westminster
35:46and of course
35:47Big Ben
35:47was installed
35:48in 1859
35:51and that sound
35:53of the quarter
35:54hour striking
35:55became synonymous
35:56with clocks
35:57of this period
35:58and this clock
35:59has that
36:00so we know
36:00that it had
36:00been made
36:01after that
36:01so it was
36:02top of the market
36:03just an absolute
36:04fabulous piece
36:05that's great
36:06in its current
36:07state
36:08in a retail
36:09setting
36:09this probably
36:10has a value
36:11of somewhere
36:11to three
36:12to four thousand
36:13dollars
36:14once it's
36:15serviced
36:16this clock
36:17should easily
36:17make somewhere
36:18in the
36:18$6,500
36:19$7,000
36:20price range
36:21oh that's great
36:23this is a
36:24denim jacket
36:25that was
36:25owned by my dad
36:26when he was a kid
36:27he was born
36:28in 1936
36:29so it likely
36:30would have been
36:31his parents
36:31that would have
36:31gotten it for him
36:32he was probably
36:33seven or eight
36:33ish
36:34and I think
36:35it just got
36:35put in a closet
36:36I know my
36:36grandmother
36:36held on to it
36:37for a long time
36:38and then my
36:38mom had it
36:38for a number
36:39of years
36:39and I've had
36:40it for a few
36:41years since then
36:41so this is
36:42what we call
36:43a type one
36:43Levi's denim jacket
36:45and the years
36:46that you were
36:46giving seem
36:47about in line
36:47with what I was
36:48thinking which
36:49is likely
36:49late 30s
36:51early 40s
36:51and there's a
36:52couple things
36:52which indicate
36:53that for me
36:54so firstly
36:56this cinch
36:57on the back
36:57right here
36:58is in silver
37:00in silver
37:01means that it
37:01wasn't during
37:02World War II
37:02when they started
37:04making these
37:04more of kind
37:05of a bronze
37:05color
37:06as well as
37:07during World War II
37:08they eliminated
37:09the pocket flap
37:10so just kind of
37:10rationing as much
37:11as they could
37:12the buttons
37:13would have also
37:13been different
37:14if it was
37:15a World War II
37:15version
37:16they changed
37:17the buttons
37:17to be kind
37:18of donut buttons
37:18that you would
37:19have seen
37:19on military
37:19uniforms
37:20another thing
37:21which helps
37:21me pinpoint
37:22the date
37:22is the Levi's
37:24tab here
37:25the red tab
37:25which is very
37:26iconic
37:26the fact that
37:27it only has
37:27Levi's written
37:28on one side
37:29also it's
37:30Levi's with a
37:31capital E
37:32here
37:32which people
37:34in denim
37:35and vintage world
37:35refer to as
37:36a big E
37:37tag
37:37so all sources
37:39indicate that it
37:40is late 30s
37:41early 40s
37:42so Levi's
37:43originally was
37:44making what
37:44they call
37:44the 506
37:46XX blouse
37:47and that was
37:48kind of the
37:48first shirt
37:49jacket that
37:50they were
37:50making
37:50the next
37:51iteration
37:52the type
37:532s
37:53which were
37:53introduced
37:54in 1953
37:55have two
37:56pockets
37:57but the
37:57same silhouette
37:58overall
37:59kind of
37:59boxy
38:00and cropped
38:00and then
38:01afterwards
38:01in 1962
38:03they introduced
38:03the type
38:043 jacket
38:05which is
38:05kind of
38:05the modern
38:06trucker
38:06denim jacket
38:07that we see
38:07today
38:08with the
38:08two pockets
38:09has the
38:10slanted
38:10seams
38:11running
38:11down
38:11and also
38:12it's a
38:12little bit
38:13longer length
38:13there are
38:14a couple
38:14features
38:14of the
38:15type 1
38:15as well
38:16you can
38:16see these
38:16pleats
38:17here
38:17which are
38:18actually
38:18stitched
38:18shut
38:19that allowed
38:20for some
38:20size
38:21adjustability
38:21as did
38:22the cinch
38:22on the
38:23back
38:23there's a
38:24couple
38:24of really
38:24strong
38:25points
38:25about
38:25this
38:25jacket
38:26firstly
38:26both here
38:27and in
38:27Japan
38:28especially
38:29Levi's
38:29is the
38:30pinnacle
38:30for people
38:31who collect
38:31denim
38:31as they
38:32more or less
38:32invented
38:33riveted denim
38:34clothing
38:34it's not
38:35necessarily
38:35the rarest
38:36but it's
38:391905
38:40506
38:41blouses
38:41and ones
38:42from that
38:42era
38:43these early
38:43type 1s
38:44are kind
38:44of the
38:44most sought
38:45after kinds
38:45of jackets
38:46it's also
38:47a great
38:47color
38:48it still
38:48has this
38:48deep
38:49indigo
38:49wash
38:50there's a
38:50little bit
38:50of fading
38:51at points
38:51you'd expect
38:52like on
38:52the elbows
38:53and around
38:54the collar
38:54but overall
38:55this is a
38:55strong
38:56kind of
38:56dark wash
38:57color
38:57the last
38:58thing I'd
38:58say is
38:58very strong
38:59about it
38:59is the
38:59fact
38:59that the
39:00pleats
39:00haven't
39:00been cut
39:01here
39:01the downside
39:02is
39:02it's a
39:03smaller
39:03size
39:04these days
39:05there's
39:05fewer
39:05people
39:05that
39:06can
39:06wear
39:06what
39:07might
39:07have
39:07been
39:07a
39:07normal
39:08medium
39:08or
39:09large
39:09or
39:09something
39:09in the
39:101940s
39:10so
39:11taking
39:12everything
39:12into
39:12consideration
39:13here
39:13I would
39:14think
39:14at an
39:15auction
39:16an estimate
39:17of
39:17three to
39:18five thousand
39:19would be
39:19about right
39:20wow
39:22that's
39:22awesome
39:24that's
39:24really cool
39:25I think my
39:25dad would be
39:26proud to know
39:26that and I
39:26know my
39:27family would be
39:27proud to know
39:28that
39:28we'll certainly
39:29take care
39:29of it
39:32supposedly it was
39:34my mother's
39:35grandfather
39:35which would be
39:36my great
39:36grandfather
39:38I know my
39:39grandmother had
39:40it stripped
39:40and varnish
39:41so I probably
39:42ruined it
39:49well all I can
39:51tell you that's
39:52really correct
39:53is that I got
39:55it through my
39:55father who
39:56was in
39:58world war
39:58two in the
39:59Indochina
40:00theater
40:00and for
40:02seven years
40:03we got a
40:05bundle of
40:06boxes
40:06from that
40:08area to
40:09our home
40:10in Tennessee
40:11and this is
40:12but one of
40:13them
40:13probably the
40:15smallest of
40:15them
40:16so I
40:17inherited this
40:19when my uncle
40:19passed away
40:20in 2011
40:21in somewhere
40:22around 1952
40:24through 1955
40:25maybe longer
40:27I'm not really
40:27sure my uncle
40:28worked at
40:29I Miller Shoes
40:30in Fifth Avenue
40:31in New York
40:32he was art
40:33director
40:33and while he
40:34was there
40:35he hired a
40:36freelance artist
40:37Andy Warhol
40:38and I believe
40:39this piece
40:40was given to
40:41him as a
40:42sort of
40:42thank you
40:43gift
40:43I remember
40:44he said
40:45when he met
40:46Andy Warhol
40:47he said
40:48he was wearing
40:49torn dungarees
40:50and his hair
40:51was disheveled
40:52but he said
40:53his portfolio
40:54was fantastic
40:55so he
40:56obviously hired
40:57him
40:57this is a
40:58wonderful window
40:59into the early
41:00work of Warhol
41:01when he was
41:02like you said
41:03a young
41:03graphic designer
41:04this is before
41:06the Warhol
41:07most of us
41:07know
41:08and it has
41:08a dedication
41:09up at the top
41:10so this wonderful
41:11artwork is
41:12entitled
41:13Happy Butterfly Day
41:15it's a hand
41:16colored print
41:17it was made
41:18in 1955
41:19Warhol
41:20liked to use
41:21mechanical
41:22reproduction techniques
41:24so he reproduced
41:25his ink drawings
41:26originally this
41:27was based
41:28on a drawing
41:28and then he
41:29made an
41:30offset lithograph
41:31of his drawing
41:32so he could
41:33have multiple
41:34copies
41:34we don't know
41:35the edition
41:35size of this
41:36but then he
41:38later
41:38hand colored
41:40ones like
41:41yours
41:42to give
41:43to people
41:43and so
41:44they became
41:45each unique
41:46again
41:47because they
41:48have each
41:49different hand
41:49coloring
41:50and different
41:51qualities
41:52different colors
41:52I think one
41:53of his
41:54colleagues
41:54also received
41:55one of these
41:56and my uncle
41:57said that
41:58that colleague
41:59threw it away
42:00because they
42:01of course
42:01Andy Warhol
42:02was not a
42:03known artist
42:04at the time
42:04and then
42:05years later
42:06was very upset
42:08that he had
42:08thrown it away
42:09so
42:09I'm sure
42:11well he may
42:11be even more
42:12upset
42:12after he
42:14watches
42:14the antiques
42:15roadshow
42:16the story
42:17that you
42:17have
42:18of this
42:18direct
42:19connection
42:19to the
42:19artist
42:20is clear
42:20and he
42:21did give
42:21these to
42:22people
42:23and so
42:24the lucky
42:24ones
42:24have
42:25these
42:26dedications
42:26in ink
42:27and then
42:28yours
42:28has this
42:28wonderful
42:29signature
42:29at the
42:30bottom
42:31and a
42:31really
42:31strong
42:32ink
42:33signature
42:33with a
42:34small
42:34inscription
42:36I'm not
42:37sure what
42:37those numbers
42:38represent
42:39it might
42:40be his
42:40phone
42:40number
42:41so most
42:42of these
42:42aren't
42:43signed
42:43and some
42:44are hand
42:45colored
42:45but yours
42:47is hand
42:47colored
42:47and signed
42:48and dedicated
42:50by Warhol
42:51which really
42:51makes it

48:06keep
48:07holding
48:07that
48:08keep
48:08holding
48:08that
48:15this
48:15belonged
48:16to my
48:16husband's
48:17grandmother
48:18she lived
48:18in
48:19Washington
48:19D.C.
48:20they were
48:20German
48:21Americans
48:21my
48:22husband's
48:22grandfather
48:23was a
48:24sort of an
48:25entrepreneur
48:26in
48:26Washington
48:27D.C.
48:27and he
48:28would go
48:28to
48:28New York
48:29City
48:30from time
48:30to time
48:30and buy
48:31pieces
48:31of jewelry
48:32for her
48:32and this
48:33was one
48:34of them
48:34I believe
48:35it was
48:36probably
48:36for their
48:3750th
48:38wedding
48:38anniversary
48:38this would
48:39have probably
48:40been in
48:40the mid
48:4250s
48:42I'm guessing
48:43I looked
48:44at it
48:44I was
48:45dating it
48:45along with
48:46my colleagues
48:46at the
48:47table
48:47for something
48:48that was
48:49made
48:49in the
48:49early
48:4919
48:50teens
48:51really
48:52he could
48:53have bought
48:53it old
48:54though
48:54he could
48:54have bought
48:55an estate
48:55piece
48:56back in
48:56the 50s
48:57know anything
48:58about the
48:58maker of
48:59it
48:59well
49:00I've noticed
49:01that there's
49:02a mark
49:02on it
49:02that says
49:03Cartier
49:04yes
49:04it's Cartier
49:05New York
49:06so it says
49:07NY
49:07right after
49:08the Cartier
49:09script
49:09it's set
49:10with two
49:10beautiful
49:11sapphires
49:11the main
49:12sapphire
49:13which is
49:14the large
49:14sapphire
49:15on the
49:15bottom
49:16it's
49:16approximately
49:1710 carats
49:17it could
49:18be
49:18approximately
49:1812
49:19but it's
49:19hard to
49:20know
49:20exactly
49:20yeah
49:21it's
49:21bezel set
49:22so
49:23conservatively
49:24I'm saying
49:24it's about
49:2410 carats
49:25it looks like
49:27a salon stone
49:28which is
49:29the region
49:29of where
49:30the stone
49:30is for
49:31their sapphire
49:31is from
49:32which is
49:33now Sri Lanka
49:34and salon stones
49:35are usually
49:36powdery
49:37more brilliant
49:38they're lighter
49:39they're not as
49:40saturated
49:40as the darker
49:42stones are
49:42and this is
49:43very apropos
49:44for this time
49:45period as well
49:46the 19 teens
49:47where they were
49:47mining a lot of
49:48these around
49:49that time period
49:50and the
49:51smaller stone
49:52I think
49:53is around
49:533 carats
49:54approximation
49:54same material
49:56though
49:56the same
49:57saturation
49:57the lighter
49:58sort of
49:58more vibrant
49:59brilliant
50:00color of
50:00sapphire
50:01it's suspending
50:01from a
50:02beautiful
50:02necklace
50:03that is
50:04very very
50:04fine
50:05and it's
50:05platinum
50:06and it's
50:07so fine
50:07that some
50:08of the
50:08little detail
50:09in there
50:10that you
50:10can see
50:11it's like
50:11little tiny
50:12wires
50:12and that's
50:14appropriate
50:14for the
50:1519 teens
50:15as well
50:17it's also
50:18set with
50:18some small
50:19round
50:20cut diamonds
50:20just little
50:21accent stones
50:22it's really
50:23chic
50:24I think
50:24a conservative
50:26value
50:26for insurance
50:28purposes
50:28would be
50:29$75,000
50:31okay
50:32that's good
50:33that's very
50:35good
