GUEST:
We went to a country auction
less than a year ago,

01:09.766 --> 01:11.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and this is the only thing
I was waiting for

01:11.966 --> 01:13.000 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
for the whole auction, and it

01:13.000 --> 01:14.566 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
was, like, the end of the day.

01:14.566 --> 01:15.800 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
There was me and this one lady

01:15.800 --> 01:17.700 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
that was bidding on it,

01:17.700 --> 01:19.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and I kept bidding, and she bid,

01:19.133 --> 01:20.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and she finally gave up,

01:20.466 --> 01:22.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and it was, like, $40.

01:22.500 --> 01:25.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
My husband's looking at me,
like, "You paid $40 for that?"

01:25.366 --> 01:29.433 align:left position:32.5% line:77% size:57.5%
(both chuckle)
This was made in Venice,

01:29.433 --> 01:32.200 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
and it was designed
by a young architect

01:32.200 --> 01:34.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
named Alessandro Pianon,

01:34.833 --> 01:38.366 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
and it was made by
a company called Vistosi.

01:38.366 --> 01:41.666 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Pianon designed this in 1963.

01:41.666 --> 01:44.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And there were whole series--
he had a family

01:44.066 --> 01:46.400 align:left position:42.5% line:71% size:47.5%
in different colors
and shapes.
Oh, my goodness.

01:46.400 --> 01:48.366 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
They're not signed--
my experience is

01:48.366 --> 01:50.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
that they're not usually signed,
so there,

01:50.800 --> 01:52.900 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
but there was a, there is a
possibility,

01:52.900 --> 01:54.833 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
at one point, it had a paper
label on it.

01:54.833 --> 01:57.533 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Okay.
And so a lot of
those paper labels disappear.

01:57.533 --> 02:01.133 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
You have
this beautiful blown glass

02:01.133 --> 02:03.566 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and these copper legs
and these wonderful eyes,

02:03.566 --> 02:05.866 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
those little n,
murrine eyes,

02:05.866 --> 02:08.300 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
where you see the different
colors in them.
Yeah, I liked that

02:08.300 --> 02:10.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
when I saw it-- that's one
thing that attracted me to it.

02:10.966 --> 02:13.166 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
It's a very sought-after
piece.

02:13.166 --> 02:14.800 align:left position:47.5% line:5% size:42.5%
People love this.
Really?

02:14.800 --> 02:16.600 align:left position:52.5% line:5% size:37.5%
Because there's
such a strong interest

02:16.600 --> 02:18.133 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
in mid-century design.

02:18.133 --> 02:21.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
This piece, in a retail venue
today, would sell

02:21.866 --> 02:25.100 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%

and $9,000.

Oh, my-- oh, my goodness.

02:35.833 --> 02:37.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I'm stunned, I am...

02:37.366 --> 02:40.233 align:left position:77.5% line:77% size:12.5%
Um...
And here I am just
swinging it around here

02:40.233 --> 02:41.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
when I got here today!

02:41.333 --> 02:44.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I was, like,
holdin' it by the feet.

02:44.166 --> 02:47.533 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
(both laugh)
Oh, my gosh, that's,
oh, wow.

02:47.533 --> 02:50.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I had no idea--
that's fantastic.

02:52.666 --> 02:57.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
My grandmother was a weaver
for the Dorothy Liebes studios.

02:57.766 --> 02:59.633 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
Besides doing that
as her day job,

02:59.633 --> 03:01.833 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
she learned how to do
tapestry weaving.

03:01.833 --> 03:04.000 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
This is one of
the earlier ones she did.

03:04.000 --> 03:05.633 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
We call it
"George and the Dragon,"

03:05.633 --> 03:09.300 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
probably late 1940s,
early, early 1950s.

03:09.300 --> 03:12.100 align:left position:67.5% line:5% size:22.5%
And then,
as she became older,

03:12.100 --> 03:14.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
she was doing things
that reminded her of home.

03:14.166 --> 03:18.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
She's Danish, and this one here
is of Denmark,

03:18.200 --> 03:21.500 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
with the runestones
and the heather.

03:21.500 --> 03:25.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It is fantastic that you brought
these two pieces in,

03:25.333 --> 03:28.666 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
tapestries woven by your
grandmother, Kamma Zethraus,

03:28.666 --> 03:32.500 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
who was the star weaver
in the studio of Dorothy Liebes.

03:32.500 --> 03:35.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Dorothy Liebes basically
is the godmother

03:35.566 --> 03:37.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
of weaving in this country

03:37.000 --> 03:39.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
in 20th-century America.

03:39.400 --> 03:42.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So to see these is great--
they are fiber art.

03:42.066 --> 03:43.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It's textile art.

03:43.766 --> 03:46.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's very different from
what Kamma would have been doing

03:46.900 --> 03:48.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
in the workshop with Dorothy.

03:48.766 --> 03:52.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The nine-to-five weaving
was a commercial weaving.

03:52.000 --> 03:54.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You had said this one
you thought was late 1940s,

03:54.200 --> 03:56.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
early 1950s, and I, I would
have probably guessed the same.

03:56.800 --> 04:01.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And my reason for thinking
about circa 1950 is

04:01.266 --> 04:03.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
because of this use of Lurex,

04:03.366 --> 04:06.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
which, Lurex was
only invented in 1946.

04:06.066 --> 04:07.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It is a metallic substance

04:07.500 --> 04:10.866 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
that is then sandwiched
in plastic, effectively.
Ah.

04:10.866 --> 04:14.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It doesn't tarnish,
and today, 70 years later,

04:14.466 --> 04:16.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
it still looks like silver.

04:16.066 --> 04:17.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
As modern as this fabric is,

04:17.700 --> 04:19.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the scene is picking up on
a totally different tradition.

04:19.866 --> 04:22.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
What we see here is
St. George and the dragon

04:22.566 --> 04:25.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in a very modern
and very different context.

04:25.366 --> 04:28.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So this piece closest to you,
when do you think

04:28.000 --> 04:29.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
your grandmother wove it?

04:29.100 --> 04:31.600 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
So I think it was
in the 1970s.

04:31.600 --> 04:33.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It was more marketable,
in a way,

04:33.033 --> 04:35.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
this Modernist,
abstracted style.

04:35.000 --> 04:36.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
The different textures,

04:36.300 --> 04:40.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the longer cut yarn versus
the flat weave at the top,

04:40.233 --> 04:42.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
it's really something
that is happening

04:42.100 --> 04:45.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in the late '60s
and then into the '70s.

04:45.000 --> 04:46.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
In terms of value,

04:46.466 --> 04:47.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I would put these
conservatively at auction

04:47.933 --> 04:49.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
in the range of about

04:49.566 --> 04:51.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
$1,000 to $1,500 each.
Okay.

04:59.500 --> 05:02.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I bought a teacup and saucer

05:02.133 --> 05:05.233 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
that I got at a thrift store
near our home.

05:05.233 --> 05:10.100 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
My mom bought it for me
for $20.

05:10.100 --> 05:12.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It was given to me
by a past president

05:12.966 --> 05:16.566 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
of the AQHA,
Mr. David M. Perkins.

05:16.566 --> 05:20.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It is the icon--
it's not a specific horse.

05:20.366 --> 05:23.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's what a quarter horse
should look like.

05:23.000 --> 05:24.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It was in his barn,

05:24.600 --> 05:26.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and I said, "Mr. Dave, what you
gonna do with that portrait?"

05:26.800 --> 05:28.266 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
He said,
"I'm gonna give it to you."

05:29.400 --> 05:32.400 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
APPRAISER:
So, I'm researching this
painting.

05:32.400 --> 05:34.966 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
The story, uh, that this was,
you know,

05:34.966 --> 05:37.100 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
previously through David
Perkins,

05:37.100 --> 05:38.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
is quite compelling.

05:38.333 --> 05:41.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So I'm, I'm still
kind of researching

05:41.000 --> 05:42.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
some potential attributions.

05:42.600 --> 05:44.766 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
INTERVIEWER:
Is this the largest
horse painting

05:44.766 --> 05:46.833 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
you've ever had to do
research on?

05:46.833 --> 05:48.700 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
APPRAISER: It, it definitely is.
(man laughs)

05:48.700 --> 05:50.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We were going
through my dad's comic books,

05:50.933 --> 05:53.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and we found
the Michael Jordan rookie card.

05:53.100 --> 05:56.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
His mom bought them for him
when he was around my age.

05:56.400 --> 05:58.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
He found them at a swap meet.

05:58.466 --> 06:01.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
He said that she wouldn't
have paid, like,

06:01.333 --> 06:02.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
more than $50 for all of them.
(chuckles)

06:02.933 --> 06:04.966 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
The card closest to me,

06:04.966 --> 06:07.466 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
this is the famous
Michael Jordan rookie card,

06:07.466 --> 06:10.033 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
1986-87 Fleer card.

06:10.033 --> 06:11.500 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Jordan's rookie year
was the year prior.

06:11.500 --> 06:12.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Uh, because of licensing issues,

06:12.766 --> 06:14.566 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
Fleer came out with the card
a year later.

06:14.566 --> 06:17.200 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
You could buy a pack
for 30 cents.
Yeah.

06:17.200 --> 06:19.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Now, if the card was in there,
wonderful, right?

06:19.000 --> 06:20.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Yeah.
Hit or miss.

06:20.433 --> 06:23.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%

And that's, that's what the

06:25.100 --> 06:26.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Yes.
Really, truly,

06:26.533 --> 06:30.666 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
this is among the best cards
in, in sports.
Yeah.

06:30.666 --> 06:32.200 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Certainly in basketball.

06:32.200 --> 06:34.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Value is a finicky thing with
cards because of condition.

06:34.766 --> 06:38.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
We think it's probably closer
to, on a one-to-ten scale,

06:38.433 --> 06:41.400 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
a two or three grade,
maybe closer to a two.

06:41.400 --> 06:43.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
There are some issues with
the corners, but at auction,

06:43.200 --> 06:46.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the rookie card, closest
to me, would sell

06:46.200 --> 06:48.033 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
for $2,000
to $2,500, okay?

06:48.033 --> 06:50.033 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
The sticker, again,

06:50.033 --> 06:51.566 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
some issues
with condition.

06:51.566 --> 06:53.533 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
That probably sells
for $400 to $500 at auction.

06:53.533 --> 06:55.666 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
So you have an idea now

06:55.666 --> 06:58.200 align:left position:57.5% line:77% size:32.5%
of where you,
where you sit, and...
Yeah.

06:58.200 --> 06:59.566 align:left position:47.5% line:77% size:42.5%
What to look for.
Yeah.

06:59.566 --> 07:01.166 align:left position:47.5% line:71% size:42.5%
Convince your dad
to go buy some more.
(chuckles)

07:01.166 --> 07:02.766 align:left position:65% line:5% size:25%
(chuckles)

07:09.133 --> 07:11.566 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
My father purchased it,

07:11.566 --> 07:13.400 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
and before he passed away,

07:13.400 --> 07:15.233 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
he handed it to me.

07:15.233 --> 07:16.600 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
He purchased it

07:16.600 --> 07:18.600 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
in Athens, Greece, in 1978.

07:18.600 --> 07:21.700 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
He paid $1,170, I think.

07:21.700 --> 07:23.733 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
He was in the military?
Yeah.

07:23.733 --> 07:26.166 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
It's a French sculpture
of Joan of Arc.

07:26.166 --> 07:28.966 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
She was the Maid of Orléans,
or Orleans.
Mm-hmm.

07:28.966 --> 07:32.500 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Of course, New Orleans is named
after the Duke of Orléans.

07:32.500 --> 07:35.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
She started seeing visions
when she was 13 years old,

07:35.766 --> 07:37.300 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
and these visions told her

07:37.300 --> 07:40.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
that she should lead the French
army against the English.

07:40.100 --> 07:43.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And she was extraordinarily
successful doing that.

07:43.900 --> 07:47.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
She led the French to victory
in, in 1429.

07:47.500 --> 07:50.633 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
At this time,
she was 17 years old.

07:50.633 --> 07:51.666 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
She received sainthood.
Mm-hmm.

07:51.666 --> 07:53.233 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
Not until the 20th century.

07:53.233 --> 07:55.766 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
But she is the patron saint

07:55.766 --> 07:57.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
of, uh, military people
and soldiers.

07:57.766 --> 08:00.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
This piece was originally
conceived around 1890.

08:00.666 --> 08:04.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It is a monument in Normandy
to soldiers.

08:04.500 --> 08:06.100 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
And there's a version
of this.

08:06.100 --> 08:09.766 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
It's inscribed, her words:
"You can chain me,

08:09.766 --> 08:12.866 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
but you cannot chain
the destiny of France."

08:12.866 --> 08:15.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
She was burned at the stake
in 1431,

08:15.433 --> 08:18.133 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
at the age
of 19 years old.

08:18.133 --> 08:20.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
She was tried and convicted
of heresy.

08:20.666 --> 08:23.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
She was also convicted
of blasphemy

08:23.466 --> 08:26.366 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
because she wore
men's clothing.

08:26.366 --> 08:29.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It's signed E. Barrias-- his
name was Louis-Ernest Barrias.

08:29.966 --> 08:32.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
He was a very, very prominent
sculptor

08:32.233 --> 08:33.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
in, in the 19th century.

08:33.566 --> 08:36.533 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Unfortunately, today,
nobody knows who he is.

08:36.533 --> 08:39.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
His most famous work is on
the façade of the Paris Opera.

08:39.933 --> 08:42.300 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
The monument
was around 1890,

08:42.300 --> 08:45.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
so this piece was probably
in the 1890s, beautifully cast.

08:45.633 --> 08:48.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
This is sort of the high point
of French bronze work.

08:48.333 --> 08:51.266 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
In terms of value,
French 19th-century sculpture

08:51.266 --> 08:53.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
is not particularly popular
these days.

08:53.333 --> 08:56.200 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
Nonetheless,
it would have an auction value

08:56.200 --> 08:59.400 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
in the, uh, $6,000 to $8,000
range.
Oh, that's nice.

08:59.400 --> 09:03.066 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
It could be insured for
$10,000, $12,000.

09:07.266 --> 09:09.900 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
PEÑA:
"Roadshow" was ready
for the terrific turnout

09:09.900 --> 09:11.433 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
at the North Carolina Museum of
Art

09:11.433 --> 09:15.133 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
in Raleigh, with nearly 3,500
attending.

09:15.133 --> 09:16.866 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
There were lots of smiles

09:16.866 --> 09:17.866 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
and surprises.

09:17.866 --> 09:19.466 align:left position:80% line:71% size:10%
MAN:
Hello!
Oh!

09:19.466 --> 09:20.900 align:left position:80% line:71% size:10%
 
(all laughing)

09:20.900 --> 09:23.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
(laughing):
Oh, you scared me!

09:23.933 --> 09:25.533 align:left position:45% line:77% size:45%
PEÑA:
And everyone
got a free appraisal.

09:25.533 --> 09:28.033 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But fewer than 150 guests

09:28.033 --> 09:30.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
were lucky enough to be chosen
to be in front of our cameras.

09:30.800 --> 09:33.133 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Did their luck pay off?

09:35.033 --> 09:39.800 align:left position:75% line:77% size:15%
GUEST:
I brought a silver tray
that my husband and I bought

09:39.800 --> 09:42.366 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
on our honeymoon in 1957.

09:42.366 --> 09:44.066 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
I will admit, though,

09:44.066 --> 09:47.233 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
that we needed an
air conditioner awfully bad.

09:47.233 --> 09:50.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And to use the wedding check
that we'd been given

09:50.833 --> 09:52.233 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
for a silver tray

09:52.233 --> 09:54.800 align:left position:62.5% line:71% size:27.5%
was against
my better judgment.
(chuckles)

09:54.800 --> 09:56.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
What do you know
about the family

09:56.466 --> 09:58.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
whose crest is represented?

09:58.933 --> 10:01.266 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
Well, we've learned
the Williams family

10:01.266 --> 10:03.800 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
lived in Cornwall

10:03.800 --> 10:05.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
beginning in the late 1700s,

10:05.100 --> 10:08.633 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and they owned copper
and tin mines.

10:08.633 --> 10:10.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Tell me what you know
about the inscription

10:10.733 --> 10:12.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
on the back of the tray
here.

10:12.300 --> 10:14.733 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
The inscription is a gift

10:14.733 --> 10:17.500 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
from a man named
Charles Williams

10:17.500 --> 10:22.200 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
to his aunt and uncle
Caroline and William Williams

10:22.200 --> 10:26.466 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
at their home, Tregullow.

10:26.466 --> 10:27.666 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
This is in Cornwall.

10:27.666 --> 10:30.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
We recently found out more
about this.

10:30.100 --> 10:32.500 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
The Williams
are still in the house.

10:32.500 --> 10:34.800 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
They have gardens
open to the public.

10:34.800 --> 10:36.266 align:left position:62.5% line:89% size:27.5%
We emailed,

10:36.266 --> 10:39.800 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and told them we had the tray
from their forebears,

10:39.800 --> 10:42.833 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and asked them
if they were interested,

10:42.833 --> 10:44.500 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
and they emailed back,

10:44.500 --> 10:49.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
sort of a polite reply,
not really interested.

10:49.300 --> 10:51.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There are hallmarks--
in this case,

10:51.666 --> 10:54.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
five different marks,
one of which is a sterling mark,

10:54.933 --> 10:57.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
one is a London mark,
another is a date mark.

10:57.200 --> 11:00.533 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And then there's a
fainter mark that says "JC."

11:00.533 --> 11:03.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
JC within an
octagonal cartouche

11:03.166 --> 11:06.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and an N date mark
will indicate

11:06.300 --> 11:09.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
that John Crouch II
made this tray...
Mm.

11:09.500 --> 11:12.366 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
...in 1808.
1808.

11:12.366 --> 11:14.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He was a second-generation
silversmith.

11:14.366 --> 11:16.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Uh, his father was
a silversmith, as well,

11:16.466 --> 11:19.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and he did incredible work
during George III's reign.

11:19.833 --> 11:22.566 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
Characteristic
of a George III tray

11:22.566 --> 11:24.933 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
is a gadrooned border,
interrupted by

11:24.933 --> 11:28.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
shells, which are further chased
to enhance their appearance,

11:28.666 --> 11:31.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the figural lion's mask
handles,

11:31.466 --> 11:35.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
which are really nicely cast
and well-drawn, well-decorated,

11:35.833 --> 11:37.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and, of course,
engraving throughout,

11:37.666 --> 11:40.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
centering the crest
of the Williams family.

11:40.466 --> 11:42.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
What did you pay for it
at the time?

11:42.300 --> 11:43.933 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
$500.
Mm-hmm.

11:43.933 --> 11:47.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The appropriate auction
estimate, in my opinion,

11:47.000 --> 11:49.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
would be $8,000
to $12,000.

11:50.700 --> 11:53.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Seems like a pretty good
return on investment to me.

11:53.233 --> 11:54.233 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
It does-- I'm, I'm...

11:54.233 --> 11:56.100 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
It's wonderful, thank you.

11:56.100 --> 11:58.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
If you were to insure it,

11:58.133 --> 12:00.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
we'd suggest
an insurance estimate

12:00.766 --> 12:02.833 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
somewhere closer to $20,000.
Okay.

12:04.233 --> 12:07.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
GUEST:
I went to the World Science
Fiction Convention called

12:07.266 --> 12:12.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MidAmeriCon, and that was in
'76, Labor Day, in Kansas City.

12:12.033 --> 12:14.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And they had
a "Star Wars" room there.

12:14.766 --> 12:18.366 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
And they had the Darth Vader
costume on a mannequin.
Wow.

12:18.366 --> 12:21.800 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
And I went right up
to it and, like, "Ah, evil!"
(chuckles)

12:21.800 --> 12:23.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And I came back the next day,

12:23.733 --> 12:25.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and there's a bunch of people
in there,

12:25.466 --> 12:26.933 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
and there's this blonde kid.

12:26.933 --> 12:29.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And one of the people
come up and say to me,

12:29.500 --> 12:31.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
"Do you want to buy a poster?"

12:31.000 --> 12:32.866 align:left position:72.5% line:77% size:17.5%
Mm-hmm.
And I said, "Sure, yeah."

12:32.866 --> 12:34.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I'm, I'm easy, you know?

12:34.300 --> 12:37.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And, "How much?",
and he said, "$1.75."

12:37.000 --> 12:38.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Said, "Can't beat that,"
so I bought the poster,

12:38.700 --> 12:40.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then he said,
"Do you want him to sign it?"

12:40.900 --> 12:43.333 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
I was thinking him,

12:43.333 --> 12:46.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the comic book artist
that did, that did the poster.

12:46.333 --> 12:48.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
You know, he was famous,
you know, Howard Chaykin.

12:48.166 --> 12:52.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So I said, "Okay, yeah,
I'm cool."

12:52.266 --> 12:54.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And I took it over
to the blonde kid,

12:54.800 --> 12:57.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and he wrote, "To Judith,

12:57.500 --> 13:00.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
love and best wishes,
Mark Hamill."

13:00.733 --> 13:03.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Mark who?
(laughs)

13:03.400 --> 13:05.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And I thought, "Oh, well,

13:05.100 --> 13:06.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
he must have something
to do with the movie."

13:06.733 --> 13:10.033 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Duh, yeah!
(laughs)
(laughs)

13:10.033 --> 13:12.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So that's how I got it--
I know it's worth something.

13:12.566 --> 13:15.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So I kept it,
tried to keep it in good shape.

13:15.266 --> 13:17.666 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5%
What an amazing story--
that's, that's incredible.
(laughs)

13:17.666 --> 13:20.333 align:left position:40% line:71% size:50%
Although not really,
not that surprising....
Yeah.

13:20.333 --> 13:22.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
...the fact that you didn't
actually know at the time

13:22.500 --> 13:23.900 align:left position:40% line:71% size:50%
who Mark Hamill was.
No, nobody knew.
(laughs)

13:23.900 --> 13:25.100 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Nobody knew, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

13:25.100 --> 13:26.766 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
If it had been,
maybe, Harrison Ford,

13:26.766 --> 13:29.266 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5%
you might have heard...
Well, if it had been
Harrison Ford,

13:29.266 --> 13:30.966 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
I would have paid attention.
(both laugh)

13:30.966 --> 13:33.033 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
This poster from 1976...
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

13:33.033 --> 13:34.166 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
...is, is pretty cool,

13:34.166 --> 13:35.633 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
because it's actually

13:35.633 --> 13:38.033 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
the very first "Star Wars"
poster, it's the advance poster,

13:38.033 --> 13:40.033 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
which came out before the movie
came out...
Right.

13:40.033 --> 13:42.266 align:left position:47.5% line:71% size:42.5%
...which came out
the following year, in 1977.
Yes.

13:42.266 --> 13:45.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
It's a very unusual poster
in its own right.

13:45.100 --> 13:48.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
What makes it incredibly rare
is the fact that you've got

13:48.733 --> 13:50.433 align:left position:25% line:77% size:65%
Mark Hamill's signature...
Hamill.

13:50.433 --> 13:52.000 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
...just here.
Right there.

13:52.000 --> 13:55.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Now, he's very difficult
to get to sign these days.

13:55.000 --> 13:58.400 align:left position:17.5% line:71% size:72.5%
He's not someone that readily
gives out his signature.
Right.

13:58.400 --> 14:00.900 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Which really elevates this piece
in terms of value.
Okay.

14:00.900 --> 14:02.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So there's a couple of things
here with the poster

14:02.600 --> 14:04.366 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
that we have to bear in mind.

14:04.366 --> 14:07.500 align:left position:17.5% line:71% size:72.5%
You probably had it up on the
wall, did you, at some point?
Mm-hmm.

14:07.500 --> 14:08.700 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
Because it's got
some pinholes here.
Yeah.

14:08.700 --> 14:10.266 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
So that does affect the value,

14:10.266 --> 14:11.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
because poster collectors
want something

14:11.833 --> 14:13.533 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
that's in perfect condition.
Right, that's
pristine.

14:13.533 --> 14:17.966 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
However, I think the signature
does make up for that, so...

14:17.966 --> 14:19.833 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Okay.
...if this were
to appear at auction...

14:19.833 --> 14:21.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Okay.
...you'd probably be
looking at

14:21.866 --> 14:24.466 align:left position:55% line:71% size:35%
between $3,000
and $5,000.
So about what I figured.

14:24.466 --> 14:28.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
But I think there's every
chance that you could realize

14:28.100 --> 14:31.300 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5%
more than that, because
it's such an unusual item.
Right.

14:31.300 --> 14:33.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There would be very few of these
posters that were actually

14:33.233 --> 14:34.533 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
signed by Luke Skywalk...
Right.

14:34.533 --> 14:36.133 align:left position:30% line:71% size:60%
Sorry, by Mark Hamill...
Right.

14:36.133 --> 14:38.166 align:left position:62.5% line:5% size:27.5%
...in 1976.
Right.

14:43.866 --> 14:47.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
From our research,
we've determined that this is

14:47.566 --> 14:51.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a railroad track leveler,
probably from 1930s,

14:51.900 --> 14:53.666 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
used mainly on curves.

14:53.666 --> 14:55.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
See how it's notched
on the end there,

14:55.766 --> 14:57.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
so that you can go like this

14:57.566 --> 15:00.233 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
and get your right slope

15:00.233 --> 15:02.266 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
for the tracks.

15:05.333 --> 15:08.733 align:left position:75% line:77% size:15%
GUEST:
This was a piece at
my great-aunt's house.

15:08.733 --> 15:10.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
APPRAISER:
It was made by Dominick
and Haff,

15:10.433 --> 15:13.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
H-A-F-F,
and the reason why we know that

15:13.433 --> 15:15.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is because it has
this mark here.

15:15.900 --> 15:17.133 align:left position:72.5% line:77% size:17.5%
Uh-huh.
And they're a very, very big,

15:17.133 --> 15:18.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
very well-regarded
New York firm.

15:18.866 --> 15:21.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Do you know what it is?

15:21.100 --> 15:23.233 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
You would know more
than I would, Dad.

15:23.233 --> 15:24.933 align:left position:52.5% line:71% size:37.5%
Do we know
what it is?
Sterling silver, I believe!

15:24.933 --> 15:26.033 align:left position:52.5% line:89% size:37.5%
(both laughing)

15:26.033 --> 15:27.033 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
That's, that's
as much as I know.

15:27.033 --> 15:28.033 align:left position:37.5% line:77% size:52.5%
Hope so, yeah.
I hope.

15:28.033 --> 15:29.300 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
(all laughing)

15:29.300 --> 15:32.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It is, it is sterling silver--
it's a bread basket.

15:32.233 --> 15:33.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You got this nice
geometric design on it,

15:33.900 --> 15:36.533 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
wonderful flowers,

15:36.533 --> 15:38.566 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
and it does have-- it's hefty.

15:38.566 --> 15:40.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think if this could come up
for auction,

15:40.500 --> 15:43.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you'd probably be looking at
somewhere between

15:43.000 --> 15:45.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
$2,500 and $3,500.
Okay.

15:45.666 --> 15:48.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But if you were
thinking about retail,

15:48.000 --> 15:49.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you'd have to ask
something like

15:49.466 --> 15:51.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
$7,500 for it.

15:51.200 --> 15:52.666 align:left position:77.5% line:5% size:12.5%
Okay.

15:55.466 --> 15:58.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
This, I believe,
is called a candle table.

15:58.666 --> 16:01.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It, uh, came from a farm

16:01.066 --> 16:04.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that my grandfather purchased
from the Watervliet Shakers.

16:04.666 --> 16:06.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And this is a deed
following through,

16:06.600 --> 16:10.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
showing to my grandfather
and then to my father.

16:10.066 --> 16:12.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
So what we have here is
a wonderful

16:12.866 --> 16:14.133 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Shaker candlestand

16:14.133 --> 16:16.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
made about the m, mid part
of the 19th century.

16:16.900 --> 16:18.933 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
So sort of circa 1850.

16:18.933 --> 16:20.933 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
The Watervliet community

16:20.933 --> 16:22.433 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
of Shakers, which was a,

16:22.433 --> 16:24.666 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
you know, a, a religiously
founded community,

16:24.666 --> 16:26.266 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
was one of the first

16:26.266 --> 16:30.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
communities of Shakers to start
and come to the United States.

16:30.233 --> 16:33.100 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
And that's basically
outside of Albany, New York.

16:33.100 --> 16:37.033 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Right.
And they came as early
as about 1775, 1776.

16:37.033 --> 16:39.300 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
What's really special
about this

16:39.300 --> 16:41.200 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
is that you've got
this line of descent

16:41.200 --> 16:43.266 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
from the, the farm property

16:43.266 --> 16:45.433 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
through the Shakers
to your family.

16:45.433 --> 16:48.266 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Mm-hmm.
There are certain Shaker
communities that are known

16:48.266 --> 16:51.233 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
for producing Shaker
furniture for commerce.

16:51.233 --> 16:54.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
The Watervliet Shakers
w, were not known

16:54.766 --> 16:56.800 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
for producing furniture.

16:56.800 --> 17:02.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And Watervliet-- any idea
what their commerce was?

17:02.366 --> 17:03.633 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Basically, seed production.

17:03.633 --> 17:06.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Maybe the first ones
to sell packaged seed.

17:06.366 --> 17:07.866 align:left position:62.5% line:89% size:27.5%
Absolutely.

17:07.866 --> 17:11.200 align:left position:30% line:71% size:60%
The first sort of
mass-produced seed producers...
Okay.

17:11.200 --> 17:13.333 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
...that sold it in
the little packet envelopes.

17:13.333 --> 17:18.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
It's a wonderful, as you say,
cherry wood candlestand.

17:18.000 --> 17:20.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
When I look at this wonderfully
turned standard,

17:20.500 --> 17:23.766 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
I mean, l, look
at the crazing of the surface.

17:23.766 --> 17:25.866 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
It's just sort of
like an archaeological site

17:25.866 --> 17:28.533 align:left position:27.5% line:71% size:62.5%
that hasn't been touched.
(chuckles):
Right.

17:28.533 --> 17:30.033 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
I mean, it, it's,
it's awesome.

17:30.033 --> 17:34.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Before they put the top on,
they put this iron band on,

17:34.533 --> 17:37.733 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
which was a way
to hold this together

17:37.733 --> 17:40.266 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
and prevent it from,
from breaking apart.
Okay.

17:40.266 --> 17:42.500 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
Functional,
beautiful craftsmanship.

17:42.500 --> 17:44.266 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
It's just
a terrific piece.

17:44.266 --> 17:46.233 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
If this were to come
to auction,

17:46.233 --> 17:47.766 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
I would probably put
an estimate

17:47.766 --> 17:49.600 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
of $2,000 to $4,000
on it.

17:49.600 --> 17:51.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Very good-- sounds great.

17:59.900 --> 18:02.533 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
My grandfather worked

18:02.533 --> 18:05.866 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
with Theodore Roosevelt's
brother-in-law.

18:05.866 --> 18:07.433 align:left position:25% line:71% size:65%
Curtis gave the photograph

18:07.433 --> 18:08.733 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
to Theodore Roosevelt,

18:08.733 --> 18:10.133 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75%
gave it to his brother-in-law,

18:10.133 --> 18:12.366 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
and my grandfather worked in
the same office,

18:12.366 --> 18:14.533 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
and Mr. Robinson gave it to
my grandfather.

18:14.533 --> 18:16.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
(chuckles): My mom wasn't a fan,

18:16.900 --> 18:18.000 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
and she kept it covered

18:18.000 --> 18:19.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
a lot with other pictures, so...
Oh.

18:19.366 --> 18:20.900 align:left position:62.5% line:5% size:27.5%
(chuckling)
Oh, okay,
okay, got it.

18:20.900 --> 18:23.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
(laughs):
What do you know about
the figure who's in the image?

18:23.566 --> 18:25.000 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
I know it's Red Hawk

18:25.000 --> 18:29.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and that he fought against
Custer at Little Bighorn,

18:29.600 --> 18:33.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and he also fought with Crazy
Horse against the U.S. Army.

18:33.666 --> 18:38.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
This is a very iconic, famous
photograph by Edward Curtis.

18:38.800 --> 18:40.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It was taken in 1905.

18:40.133 --> 18:42.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The title is
"Oasis in the Badlands,"

18:42.566 --> 18:45.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and it does depict Red Hawk,
an important leader.

18:45.733 --> 18:48.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Red Hawk was a member
of the Oglala Sioux tribe

18:48.833 --> 18:51.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of what's now
considered South Dakota.

18:51.100 --> 18:54.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%

was made in the Badlands.

18:54.666 --> 18:56.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Curtis was very,
and is very famous

18:56.400 --> 18:58.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
for photographing
Native Americans.

18:58.700 --> 19:01.066 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
This was his life project.

19:01.066 --> 19:04.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He won a contest for
the prettiest child in America,

19:04.900 --> 19:06.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and the picture
was reproduced,

19:06.700 --> 19:08.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
which is how he came
to the attention

19:08.300 --> 19:10.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of Theodore Roosevelt,
who is then president.

19:10.800 --> 19:14.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He visited Roosevelt,
he photographed his children,

19:14.066 --> 19:16.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then shared his idea
for this

19:16.733 --> 19:18.333 align:left position:17.5% line:71% size:72.5%
sort of monumental project

19:18.333 --> 19:20.666 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75%
documenting Native Americans,

19:20.666 --> 19:22.666 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
not just in the Dakotas,

19:22.666 --> 19:24.733 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
but across the entire United
States.

19:24.733 --> 19:27.633 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
 
Roosevelt said, "You should talk
to J.P. Morgan,"

19:27.633 --> 19:30.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
who ultimately funded
this project.

19:30.533 --> 19:33.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Curtis's goal, his idea,

19:33.466 --> 19:36.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
was to document
and preserve, uh, culture

19:36.766 --> 19:39.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that he felt
was disappearing.

19:39.766 --> 19:44.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He's really known
for portraits and for evoking

19:44.133 --> 19:45.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
this sense of nostalgia,

19:45.800 --> 19:48.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
romanticizing his subjects.

19:48.600 --> 19:51.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
This is a singular work.

19:51.433 --> 19:55.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We don't usually see them this
big, in this large-scale format,

19:55.533 --> 19:59.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and that is truly special
and unusual.

19:59.933 --> 20:01.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
If this were to come in
to auction,

20:01.066 --> 20:03.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I would put an estimate
on the photograph

20:03.766 --> 20:06.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
at $30,000 to $40,000.

20:06.866 --> 20:08.300 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh, wow.

20:08.300 --> 20:12.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Um, for a replacement value,
I would suggest a value

20:12.000 --> 20:14.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
of $70,000.

20:14.333 --> 20:15.533 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
That's amazing.

20:15.533 --> 20:16.566 align:left position:35% line:77% size:55%
(both laugh)
Thank you.

20:16.566 --> 20:18.866 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Without that provenance,
at auction,

20:18.866 --> 20:22.433 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I might have said
$20,000 to $30,000.

20:24.900 --> 20:27.900 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
PEÑA:
"Roadshow" brought out the
treasure hunters in Akron, Ohio,

20:27.900 --> 20:30.000 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
where the Stan Hywet Hall
and Gardens

20:30.000 --> 20:32.166 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
was the perfect setting
for our event.

20:32.166 --> 20:34.133 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
Penny saved.

20:34.133 --> 20:35.500 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
 
That's the original socket.
Uh-huh.

20:35.500 --> 20:37.066 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
A lot of times,
people change it,

20:37.066 --> 20:39.333 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
but that's correct.

20:39.333 --> 20:41.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Does anyone want to buy
a duck?

20:41.766 --> 20:43.166 align:left position:72.5% line:77% size:17.5%
It's...
Not even one you can cook!

20:43.166 --> 20:44.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
(laughs)
Right.

20:44.800 --> 20:46.400 align:left position:45% line:77% size:45%
PEÑA:
The wide range of art
and objects

20:46.400 --> 20:48.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that come into "Roadshow"
never fails to fascinate.

20:48.766 --> 20:50.800 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
He's Gippy, the mannequin baby!

20:50.800 --> 20:53.166 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
He's from the '40s or the '50s.

20:53.166 --> 20:55.333 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
He's very precious
to our family.

20:55.333 --> 20:58.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
He's been to family weddings,
family funerals,

20:58.766 --> 21:02.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and now he's going to go
to the "Antiques Roadshow"!

21:02.666 --> 21:03.800 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
(chuckles)

21:03.800 --> 21:06.100 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
PEÑA:
Check out this fascinating find.

21:06.100 --> 21:09.233 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
The item is actually
a lavalier necklace

21:09.233 --> 21:10.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
that had belonged
to my grandmother.

21:10.733 --> 21:14.066 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
My grandmother was an Army nurse
at Walter Reed Hospital

21:14.066 --> 21:15.600 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
during World War I.

21:15.600 --> 21:18.366 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
After the war,
she was a school nurse

21:18.366 --> 21:20.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that met a local industrialist

21:20.866 --> 21:23.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
who owned a company
that manufactured

21:23.600 --> 21:25.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
hearses and funeral cars.

21:25.300 --> 21:27.433 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And they married in 1930.

21:27.433 --> 21:29.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
To be honest,
I never saw it until

21:29.833 --> 21:32.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
after my mother died,
about 25 years ago.

21:32.166 --> 21:36.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
But my grandmother wore it
for formal occasions.

21:36.166 --> 21:39.266 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
It is a stunning
Art Deco piece of jewelry.

21:39.266 --> 21:41.766 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
It is sculptural.

21:41.766 --> 21:44.566 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
The outline is somewhat
of a shield shape.

21:44.566 --> 21:46.566 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
And in the very center
component,

21:46.566 --> 21:48.600 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
you've got square-cut
diamonds

21:48.600 --> 21:50.700 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
that are step cuts,
and they give the effect

21:50.700 --> 21:52.400 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
of one larger diamond.

21:52.400 --> 21:54.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
You've kind of hit this one
out of the park.

21:54.366 --> 21:56.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Oh, well, thank you--
is, is it platinum?

21:56.566 --> 21:59.766 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
It is platinum--
it is sculpture in miniature.

21:59.766 --> 22:03.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
It really truly showcases
Art Deco craftsmanship.

22:03.566 --> 22:06.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I did thoroughly examine
the piece,

22:06.133 --> 22:08.633 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
but I didn't see any
particular maker's mark,

22:08.633 --> 22:11.100 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
and that's not unusual.

22:11.100 --> 22:12.400 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
An auction estimate

22:12.400 --> 22:14.800 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
would be $3,000
to $4,000.

22:14.800 --> 22:15.933 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Okay.

22:15.933 --> 22:17.400 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
If you were looking
to insure it,

22:17.400 --> 22:19.366 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
I think you would be
looking at

22:19.366 --> 22:21.000 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
$6,000 or $7,000.

22:21.000 --> 22:23.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Wow-- wow, that's lovely.

22:23.333 --> 22:25.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Yeah.

22:30.366 --> 22:33.933 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
This is a Strand sled.

22:33.933 --> 22:35.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Strand Ski Company.

22:35.166 --> 22:36.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We were cleaning out
my cousin's estate,

22:36.533 --> 22:38.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and we found this in his garage,

22:38.133 --> 22:41.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and it had about three inches
of dust on it, cleaned it up,

22:41.066 --> 22:42.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and then we realized the logo
was on there,

22:42.700 --> 22:43.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and it was, like,
"Whoa, how cool!"

22:43.800 --> 22:45.666 align:left position:60% line:5% size:30%
INTERVIEWER:
Do you ever try it out?

22:45.666 --> 22:46.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
No-- no.

22:48.900 --> 22:50.300 align:left position:75% line:77% size:15%
GUEST:
It's from my grandparents,
I don't...

22:50.300 --> 22:51.900 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
I have no idea
where they got it.

22:51.900 --> 22:56.133 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
Probably, uh, late 1800s
on these.

22:56.133 --> 22:57.666 align:left position:60% line:5% size:30%
Early 1900s.

22:57.666 --> 23:01.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A lot of these had
a butterfly at that time period.

23:01.233 --> 23:03.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
I guess the butterfly
was pretty popular.
Uh-huh.

23:03.666 --> 23:05.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
They weren't easy to make--
you see all these ribs?

23:05.533 --> 23:07.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
That's all individual
pieces of wood.

23:07.900 --> 23:12.266 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Okay.
These are some of the most
undervalued instruments.

23:12.266 --> 23:15.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's amazing how much
craftsmanship goes into 'em.

23:19.066 --> 23:21.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
GUEST:
According to my grandmother,

23:21.066 --> 23:23.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
who wrote a little note
about it, it is

23:23.866 --> 23:26.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
a prototype invention--

23:26.366 --> 23:30.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the first paper copier
ever made.
Okay.

23:30.100 --> 23:32.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
According to her note,

23:32.066 --> 23:33.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
it was done by Thomas Edison.

23:33.800 --> 23:36.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
My grandfather didn't get it
to work at one time.

23:36.900 --> 23:41.200 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
It is in fact
an Edison-invented item.

23:41.200 --> 23:42.600 align:left position:37.5% line:77% size:52.5%
It's not a prototype,
it's, it's...
Mm-hmm.

23:42.600 --> 23:44.533 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
It's actually
a production piece.

23:44.533 --> 23:47.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
It would have been made along
with many others of its type,

23:47.533 --> 23:52.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and it was originally marketed
as the autographic press.

23:52.433 --> 23:54.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's called an electric pen.
Ah.

23:54.166 --> 23:56.200 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
But it technically isn't a pen
in that,

23:56.200 --> 23:57.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
in that it writes with ink.

23:57.966 --> 24:02.400 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
It is a device which makes
micro perforations in paper,

24:02.400 --> 24:04.033 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and you would hold it
like a pen.

24:04.033 --> 24:05.900 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
So let's say you wrote
a letter in pen, right?

24:05.900 --> 24:08.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
You would take this device
and write over it again.

24:08.900 --> 24:10.533 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
And as you wrote over it,

24:10.533 --> 24:13.566 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
following the lines
of the writing, it would make

24:13.566 --> 24:16.566 align:left position:45% line:71% size:45%
little micro perfs
into the paper, okay?
Uh-huh.

24:16.566 --> 24:19.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Once you finished that, you
would take that piece of paper

24:19.166 --> 24:21.433 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and you would take it
to a special press

24:21.433 --> 24:23.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
where you would ink it,
and it, it would,

24:23.533 --> 24:25.833 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
like a silk screen,
it would press the ink through,

24:25.833 --> 24:29.400 align:left position:27.5% line:71% size:62.5%
and voilà, you would have
a copy of that letter.
A copy!

24:29.400 --> 24:32.633 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
So it sounds crazy-complicated,
right? And it kind of was.
(chuckling)

24:32.633 --> 24:36.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
In its day, Edison claimed you
could make up to 5,000 copies

24:36.733 --> 24:38.666 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
from one microperfed
letter.

24:38.666 --> 24:42.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
A lot of them were sold,
and the patent date was 1876.

24:42.800 --> 24:44.300 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
They were sold to about 1880.
Mm-hmm.

24:44.300 --> 24:46.400 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
And then what
started happening was,

24:46.400 --> 24:49.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
a lot of other inventions
came along where, "Hey,

24:49.566 --> 24:51.000 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
we can do it this way,
we can do it that way."

24:51.000 --> 24:53.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And then there's this thing
called the typewriter,

24:53.566 --> 24:55.833 align:left position:27.5% line:71% size:62.5%
which also kind of really
blockbusted the market...
Yeah.

24:55.833 --> 24:57.400 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
...and made this
rather obsolete.

24:57.400 --> 25:00.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
The simple function of it
is that there's an,

25:00.200 --> 25:02.466 align:left position:25% line:71% size:65%
you have an electric motor
here.
Ah, uh-huh.

25:02.466 --> 25:05.133 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
That, when powered
by a wet cell battery,

25:05.133 --> 25:08.833 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
would rotate that wheel, which
would drive a little, uh, cam

25:08.833 --> 25:11.200 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
that would push a needle in and
out at a very rapid pace.
Uh-huh.

25:11.200 --> 25:13.066 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Have you ever had a tattoo?

25:13.066 --> 25:14.700 align:left position:17.5% line:71% size:72.5%
Do you have a ta, any tattoos
or any...
(chuckles): No, I don't.

25:14.700 --> 25:17.066 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Okay, so it's kind of
like a tattoo needle.

25:17.066 --> 25:21.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
In 1891, an, an entrepreneurial
New York tattoo artist

25:21.300 --> 25:22.933 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
looked at this design
and said,

25:22.933 --> 25:25.066 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
I can adapt that
for tattooing.
Tattooing!

25:25.066 --> 25:28.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
At auction, one like this,
without all the other gizmos

25:28.133 --> 25:29.966 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
that I mentioned,
would easily sell

25:29.966 --> 25:32.233 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
in the $10,000
to $15,000 range.

25:32.233 --> 25:35.066 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
Oh, my!
(gasps)

25:35.066 --> 25:39.233 align:left position:37.5% line:77% size:52.5%
(laughing):
I can't, I can't believe--
my sisters and I recovered it

25:39.233 --> 25:41.800 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
from a ba,
from my dad's basement!

25:41.800 --> 25:43.133 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
To me, it's beautiful,

25:43.133 --> 25:45.500 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
and it's just a, a,
an amazing little object.

25:45.500 --> 25:47.466 align:left position:52.5% line:5% size:37.5%
And I love it--
it's a jewel.

25:49.633 --> 25:51.433 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
It was my grandparents'
painting.

25:51.433 --> 25:53.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
My grandfather bought a house
in Shaker Heights,

25:53.566 --> 25:54.833 align:left position:55% line:89% size:35%
on South Park.

25:54.833 --> 25:56.266 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
It was a pretty big house.

25:56.266 --> 25:58.533 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
He got it on a foreclosure.

25:58.533 --> 26:00.833 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
My grandmother needed
to put a lot of paintings

26:00.833 --> 26:02.400 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
on the walls,
'cause it was a big house.

26:02.400 --> 26:05.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
So I think in the late '40s,
she went-- early '50s--

26:05.866 --> 26:07.266 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
she went shopping and bought

26:07.266 --> 26:08.433 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
a whole bunch
of different paintings.
Mm-hmm.

26:08.433 --> 26:09.966 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
A lot of 'em very nice.
Mm-hmm.

26:09.966 --> 26:11.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
 
This is one of 'em.

26:11.100 --> 26:12.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Any idea what she paid for it?
No, no idea.

26:12.566 --> 26:14.333 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
After they passed away,

26:14.333 --> 26:16.233 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
my one aunt came
to own this painting.

26:16.233 --> 26:19.600 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
And then, uh, when she sold her
house, uh, she gave it to me.

26:19.600 --> 26:21.333 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
When did it come to you?

26:21.333 --> 26:22.400 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
Uh, just this year.

26:22.400 --> 26:24.533 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
So the work
is by Edward Dufner.

26:24.533 --> 26:26.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Dufner was born in 1872,

26:26.300 --> 26:28.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and had a long
and prolific life,

26:28.400 --> 26:30.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and died in 1957.

26:30.833 --> 26:34.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And Dufner grew up in
and around Buffalo, New York.

26:34.400 --> 26:37.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
At the age of 15, he studied at
the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy.

26:37.200 --> 26:39.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So he was very precocious
in his youth,

26:39.233 --> 26:40.833 align:left position:25% line:71% size:65%
and did so well there

26:40.833 --> 26:42.300 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
that he actually earned

26:42.300 --> 26:44.066 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
an Albright scholarship.

26:44.066 --> 26:45.500 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
And that scholarship allowed
him

26:45.500 --> 26:46.700 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
to travel to New York City

26:46.700 --> 26:48.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
in 1893.

26:48.633 --> 26:50.700 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
There, he studied at
the Art Students League,

26:50.700 --> 26:53.033 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
which is one
of the prominent places

26:53.033 --> 26:56.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
for American artists to study
at the end of the 19th century.

26:56.200 --> 26:59.433 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
After that, he went to the other
important place to study,

26:59.433 --> 27:00.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
which is Paris.

27:00.900 --> 27:04.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Every American artist
from the late 19th century,

27:04.233 --> 27:07.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
or virtually every,
ends up going to Paris to study.

27:07.533 --> 27:09.633 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
It's to sort of
get your street creds.

27:09.633 --> 27:10.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Everybody thinks
much more of you,

27:10.933 --> 27:12.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and you can charge more
for your paintings.

27:12.533 --> 27:14.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
He went to the Académie
Julian,

27:14.300 --> 27:16.433 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and was actually overseas
for about five years.

27:16.433 --> 27:18.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And at that time,
he also studied with Whistler.

27:18.966 --> 27:21.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
When he came back,
he went first to Buffalo,

27:21.366 --> 27:25.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and his style
was fairly Tonalist.

27:25.533 --> 27:28.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And by about 1907,
he was in New Jersey,

27:28.100 --> 27:30.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and his paintings started
to change.

27:30.800 --> 27:34.833 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
He purportedly saw an exhibition
of Willard Metcalf paintings,

27:34.833 --> 27:38.600 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
who painted bright, light,
American Impressionist pictures.

27:38.600 --> 27:41.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And that's when
his style changed to this.

27:41.400 --> 27:43.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Today, when we think of Dufner,

27:43.800 --> 27:45.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
this is the sort
of style we think of.

27:45.500 --> 27:47.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We think of
light-filled and bright.

27:47.166 --> 27:49.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He became known as
the painter of sunshine.

27:49.333 --> 27:51.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And this is
the iconic subject matter.

27:51.266 --> 27:52.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
What people want

27:52.600 --> 27:56.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
are the images of young girls,
maybe with a mother,

27:56.566 --> 27:59.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
sitting in dappled sunlight
by the edge of a lake,

27:59.966 --> 28:02.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
maybe with swans or ducks

28:02.000 --> 28:03.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
swimming in the distance.

28:03.333 --> 28:05.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And, I mean, you have
every single possible element.

28:05.833 --> 28:07.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He creates these
beautiful oil paintings

28:07.733 --> 28:10.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
on canvas,
as you're seeing here.

28:10.466 --> 28:13.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Uh, and this is
a fairly large example.

28:13.233 --> 28:14.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Also going for it--

28:14.466 --> 28:16.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
this is probably
the original frame.

28:16.266 --> 28:19.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Probably this and the painting
are from the early 1920s.

28:19.833 --> 28:20.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He really
painted like this

28:20.966 --> 28:22.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
throughout
the rest of his life.

28:22.433 --> 28:23.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And this is
just what you look for

28:23.733 --> 28:26.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
when you,
when you look for a Dufner.

28:26.100 --> 28:27.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
If I were to put this
through at auction,

28:27.700 --> 28:32.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I would estimate it at
$15,000 to $25,000.

28:32.266 --> 28:35.266 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Okay, not bad.

28:35.266 --> 28:37.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
He did these quite a bit.

28:37.500 --> 28:39.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
They're eye candy,
they're beautiful.

28:39.200 --> 28:41.666 align:left position:77.5% line:5% size:12.5%
Yeah.
So they were tremendously
popular.

Our experts have the answers.

29:14.866 --> 29:17.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I bought them
to honor my mother.

29:17.233 --> 29:21.633 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
She had a big collection of art,
various kind of arts.

29:21.633 --> 29:23.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And one thing that
she collected were jewels.

29:23.766 --> 29:27.000 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
These are, uh, jewels
that she, uh, gave to me

29:27.000 --> 29:29.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
on various occasions
in my life.

29:29.200 --> 29:32.666 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Around Christmas time,
she would actually give

29:32.666 --> 29:36.566 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
each woman
in the family a gift.

29:36.566 --> 29:38.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And an example of
that is the little flower

29:38.700 --> 29:40.733 align:left position:72.5% line:71% size:17.5%
Mm-hmm.
that came with
various stones.

29:40.733 --> 29:42.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So each woman
got a different stone.

29:42.933 --> 29:44.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
(chuckling):
I got the diamond,

29:44.633 --> 29:46.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and I think that it may be

29:46.366 --> 29:48.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
from Van Cleef and Arpels.

29:48.333 --> 29:50.966 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
And indeed it is
Van Cleef and Arpels.

29:50.966 --> 29:55.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
It is stamped "VCA" in the back
with a stock number on it.

29:55.033 --> 29:58.400 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
They were scatter pins,
and they would be set with

29:58.400 --> 30:01.766 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
diamond, emerald, sapphire
and ruby.

30:01.766 --> 30:04.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's approaching between a carat
and a carat and a half.

30:04.300 --> 30:06.233 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Always very good color

Oui.

a black onyx belly

30:21.566 --> 30:24.866 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
and a cabochon emerald eye

30:24.866 --> 30:27.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
that's stamped "VCA"
on the back of its ear.

30:27.566 --> 30:29.400 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Whimsical animals,

30:29.400 --> 30:33.000 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%

do great on auction.

30:33.000 --> 30:34.966 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%

passionate about cats.

great Bombay turquoise

30:46.433 --> 30:49.500 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
And they are clip-ons,
which would be apropos

30:49.500 --> 30:50.900 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
for the 1950s as well.

30:50.900 --> 30:52.133 align:left position:52.5% line:89% size:37.5%
Made in France.

30:52.133 --> 30:54.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
A conservative estimate
would be between

30:54.766 --> 30:56.466 align:left position:45% line:77% size:45%
$6,000 and $8,000.
Oh.

30:56.466 --> 30:57.466 align:left position:57.5% line:89% size:32.5%
Conservative,

30:57.466 --> 30:59.166 align:left position:42.5% line:77% size:47.5%
And that's auction.
Okay.

30:59.166 --> 31:01.933 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
And then we have your
little turquoise and diamond

31:01.933 --> 31:04.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
in 18-karat yellow gold
strawberry.

31:04.333 --> 31:06.600 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
The total carat weight
is going to be approximately

31:06.600 --> 31:09.100 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
five carats
on the top here.

31:09.100 --> 31:12.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
That does have signature on it.
It's made in France.

31:12.033 --> 31:13.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
We would have to do a
little bit more research on it

31:13.900 --> 31:16.166 align:left position:37.5% line:71% size:52.5%
to find out
who the maker was.
Okay.

31:16.166 --> 31:17.566 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
But it is the same
quality as the others.

31:17.566 --> 31:20.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
The strawberry is going to be
anywhere between

31:20.066 --> 31:22.733 align:left position:45% line:77% size:45%
$7,000 and $9,000.
Oh, my goodness.

31:22.733 --> 31:24.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Yeah. So unexpected, yes.
And it's a beautiful

31:24.700 --> 31:28.466 align:left position:37.5% line:71% size:52.5%
turquoise circa 1950s
jewelry collection.
Yeah.

31:28.466 --> 31:29.900 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
I told you,
my mom had great taste.

31:29.900 --> 31:31.333 align:left position:70% line:5% size:20%
(laughs)

31:37.933 --> 31:40.300 align:left position:75% line:77% size:15%
GUEST:
I have a Civil War
presentation sword

31:40.300 --> 31:43.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
I acquired in about 2010
from my grandmother.

31:43.166 --> 31:46.366 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
Gustavus Stanley
was an officer,

31:46.366 --> 31:48.066 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
fought in
three different regiments,

31:48.066 --> 31:50.333 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
but the last one
was the 2nd Cavalry, Maine.

31:50.333 --> 31:53.333 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
After his death,
the sword and a lot of

31:53.333 --> 31:54.866 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
the documents
from the company

31:54.866 --> 31:57.066 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
were sent back home
to my family in Maine,

31:57.066 --> 31:58.700 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
where it's been for years.

31:58.700 --> 32:00.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So you brought us a

32:00.766 --> 32:03.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Civil War presentation
cavalry officer saber.

32:03.800 --> 32:07.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
And it's a presentation
to him by the,

32:07.233 --> 32:09.400 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
the men of Company F,

32:09.400 --> 32:10.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
2nd Maine Cavalry.
Yeah.

32:10.933 --> 32:12.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
He's in Illinois.

32:12.633 --> 32:15.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He joins
the 8th Illinois Cavalry.

32:15.366 --> 32:17.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
He got scooped up
by Lee's men

32:17.700 --> 32:19.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
May 5, 1862.

32:19.800 --> 32:22.500 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
So you'd think he'd go
to a prison camp, right?
Right.

32:22.500 --> 32:24.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
They didn't really have

32:24.600 --> 32:27.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a good method of
dealing with prisoners

32:27.066 --> 32:28.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
at the beginning of
the Civil War.

32:28.700 --> 32:31.933 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
There was a system of parole,
where essentially
Yeah.

32:31.933 --> 32:33.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
you would swear to go home,

32:33.933 --> 32:35.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
behave yourself,

32:35.233 --> 32:37.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
don't take part in
military activities,

32:37.066 --> 32:40.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
which made it a lot easier
on both sides taking prisoners,

32:40.266 --> 32:42.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because they didn't have
to feed them and clothe them.

32:42.466 --> 32:44.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So he goes home.

32:44.333 --> 32:46.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Home is in Maine.

32:46.466 --> 32:48.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So when he's
called back to service,

32:48.066 --> 32:50.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
he ends up
a captain in Company B,

32:50.433 --> 32:53.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
28th Maine Infantry,
they go down to the Gulf.

32:53.966 --> 32:56.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
He's captured again.
(chuckles)

32:56.300 --> 32:58.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So, he's in trouble again.

32:58.066 --> 33:02.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
He gets paroled,
goes home, and comes back

33:02.166 --> 33:06.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
with 2nd Maine Cavalry
in 1863.

33:06.000 --> 33:07.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Now, the sword itself.

33:07.566 --> 33:08.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It's beautiful.

33:08.900 --> 33:10.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It's in good condition.

33:10.100 --> 33:12.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
What we see here is

33:12.566 --> 33:17.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a nice acid etch engraving
on the blade.

33:17.100 --> 33:21.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You have a federal eagle
on the reverse side.

33:21.066 --> 33:24.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And we know that it is
a German-made sword

33:24.800 --> 33:26.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because the maker's mark
on the ricasso

33:26.400 --> 33:31.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is by the firm of Clauberg,
out of Solingen, Germany.

33:31.266 --> 33:33.400 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
A retail price for this sword

33:33.400 --> 33:36.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
would be between $8,000
and $10,000.

33:36.033 --> 33:37.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh, wow.

33:38.933 --> 33:40.433 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Wow, that's great.

33:40.433 --> 33:42.333 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
This gentleman saw
a lot of,

33:42.333 --> 33:43.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
a lot of Civil War service,

33:43.966 --> 33:45.866 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
but he couldn't quite seem
to stay out of trouble.

33:45.866 --> 33:48.900 align:left position:60% line:5% size:30%
(chuckling):
No, he could not.

33:48.900 --> 33:51.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
This is a family heirloom
from the 1800s.

33:51.833 --> 33:54.866 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
It's a Armenian
walking suit,

33:54.866 --> 33:57.933 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
um, laced with
natural saltwater pearls.

33:57.933 --> 34:00.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And you told me there were
how many pearls on there?

34:00.133 --> 34:01.733 align:left position:57.5% line:89% size:32.5%
About 50,000.

34:01.733 --> 34:03.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You couldn't
remake this piece,

34:03.200 --> 34:04.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because you're not
going to be able

34:04.300 --> 34:06.000 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
to find somebody who would
sit down

34:06.000 --> 34:07.266 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
and, and do this work.

34:07.266 --> 34:08.666 align:left position:77.5% line:71% size:12.5%
Sure.

34:08.666 --> 34:09.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I mean, you couldn't
pay them enough to do it.

34:09.866 --> 34:11.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
With regards to the value
of the pearls

34:11.633 --> 34:13.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and the jacket,
I'd say there are at least

34:13.133 --> 34:14.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
$20,000 worth
of pearls.

34:14.966 --> 34:16.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's a wonderful thing,

34:16.200 --> 34:17.666 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and thank you very much
for bringing it.

34:17.666 --> 34:20.066 align:left position:55% line:5% size:35%
Oh, thank you.
That's awesome.

34:20.066 --> 34:23.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
This is a Red Sox baseball bat
from 1951.

34:23.633 --> 34:25.966 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
I got it as a gift from
my godfather,

34:25.966 --> 34:27.300 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
who's Richard Donovan,

34:27.300 --> 34:30.133 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
and he was the bat boy.

34:30.133 --> 34:31.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I got Ted Williams on there,

34:31.333 --> 34:33.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
and Johnny Pesky.

34:33.166 --> 34:35.933 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
This bat had been

34:35.933 --> 34:38.033 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
in the coat closet at
my aunt and uncle's house

34:38.033 --> 34:39.300 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
since we were kids.

34:39.300 --> 34:40.700 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
And when we'd go over,

34:40.700 --> 34:42.400 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
we would just, like,
we'd play with it.

34:42.400 --> 34:45.066 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
My godfather just,
he gave it to me as a gift.

34:45.066 --> 34:46.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Yeah.

34:46.366 --> 34:48.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
'Cause, to be honest,
I am the favorite.

34:48.733 --> 34:50.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
(laughs)
Just, just saying.

34:50.033 --> 34:52.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
1951, the Red Sox

34:52.400 --> 34:53.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
came in third in
the American League.

34:53.866 --> 34:55.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But they had
some great players.

34:55.600 --> 34:57.600 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Namely this gentleman
right here.
Yeah.

34:57.600 --> 34:59.800 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
that's Ted Williams,
of course.
Yeah.

34:59.800 --> 35:03.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And Joe DiMaggio's brother,
Dom, right here.

35:03.233 --> 35:06.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Johnny Pesky,
all-time great.

35:06.133 --> 35:08.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Bobby Doerr,
Hall of Famer.

35:08.266 --> 35:10.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
This is called a half bat.

35:10.400 --> 35:11.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
We're missing the end here,

35:11.733 --> 35:13.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
but that's probably
because you guys

35:13.000 --> 35:14.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
were playing with it.
Yeah, yeah.

35:14.500 --> 35:17.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And what baseball players
would do is, traditional,

35:17.266 --> 35:19.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
they would cut the bat
in half

35:19.333 --> 35:22.433 align:left position:77.5% line:77% size:12.5%
Okay.
and then each one of them

35:22.433 --> 35:25.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
would autograph it,
including Johnny Pesky,

35:25.200 --> 35:29.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Ted Williams,
Bobby Doerr, Don DiMaggio.

35:29.133 --> 35:30.300 align:left position:82.5% line:89% size:7.5%
Mm.

35:30.300 --> 35:31.833 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
And generally,
when they were given out,

35:31.833 --> 35:33.400 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
they were given out
to teammates or,

35:33.400 --> 35:35.733 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
or friends of the family,
if you will.

35:35.733 --> 35:36.900 align:left position:77.5% line:5% size:12.5%
Sure.
Which makes sense

35:36.900 --> 35:39.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
why your godfather
would have it.

35:39.833 --> 35:41.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Very, very rare to find
a half bat.

35:41.433 --> 35:44.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's in decent shape,
other than the broken handle.

35:44.066 --> 35:45.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
The signatures are bold.

35:45.566 --> 35:47.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
If I were going to put
an auction estimate,

35:47.800 --> 35:49.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I'd put it at $2,000
to $3,000.

35:49.733 --> 35:50.766 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
Great.

35:50.766 --> 35:52.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
This photograph
is interesting, too.

35:52.066 --> 35:53.666 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
This was only given to
people who were

35:53.666 --> 35:55.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
closely associated
with the team.

35:55.500 --> 35:57.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's got condition issues.
Right.

35:57.266 --> 35:59.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Even just like this,
it's probably worth

35:59.500 --> 36:00.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
about $200 to $300.

36:00.700 --> 36:01.833 align:left position:42.5% line:77% size:47.5%
Excellent.
Yeah.

36:01.833 --> 36:03.133 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
Nice.
Yeah.

36:03.133 --> 36:04.300 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
Go Sox.

36:04.300 --> 36:06.366 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
(both laugh)

36:12.500 --> 36:16.066 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
My grandfather was
a colonel in the U.S. Army.

36:16.066 --> 36:18.800 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
And during the Bolshevik
Revolution in Russia,

36:18.800 --> 36:23.300 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
he was given an assignment
to go to Stockholm...

36:23.300 --> 36:25.900 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Mm-hmm.
where he was going
to be military attaché.

36:25.900 --> 36:29.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
When they got to St. Petersburg,
the bullets were flying.

36:29.866 --> 36:33.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
But he grabbed the family,
put my mother on his shoulders,

36:33.033 --> 36:34.266 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
and they ran,

36:34.266 --> 36:36.633 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and they got to
Stockholm eventually.

36:36.633 --> 36:38.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Mm-hmm.
Once he got there,

36:38.700 --> 36:41.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
he learned that there were
members of the Russian court

36:41.933 --> 36:43.833 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
that were trying to escape

36:43.833 --> 36:46.800 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
because the monarchy
was being killed.
Mm-hmm.

36:46.800 --> 36:49.200 align:left position:62.5% line:5% size:27.5%
So he said,
"I can help them."

36:49.200 --> 36:52.166 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
So he got in touch
with the ladies in waiting,

36:52.166 --> 36:55.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and he did help them,
but they took their hymns

36:55.833 --> 36:59.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and ripped the hymns up
and produced some jewels.

36:59.200 --> 37:00.900 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
And they said to him,

37:00.900 --> 37:03.200 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
"We would like
to give them to you."

37:03.200 --> 37:06.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And he said, "No, you're
not going to give them to me.

37:06.833 --> 37:08.566 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
"I will pay you for them,

37:08.566 --> 37:11.166 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
and I will pay you
better than they're worth."

37:11.166 --> 37:13.466 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
And that's
exactly what he did.

37:13.466 --> 37:15.400 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
And so we now have

37:15.400 --> 37:17.466 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
those jewels in our family.

37:17.466 --> 37:21.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We have the receipt from
the baroness who met with him.

37:21.300 --> 37:23.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And the letter says that

37:23.433 --> 37:25.366 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
the baroness has received

37:25.366 --> 37:28.733 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
3,700 kroner from
my grandfather.

37:28.733 --> 37:33.033 align:left position:52.5% line:5% size:37.5%
And the date is
October 8, 1920.

37:33.033 --> 37:35.200 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
The ladies in waiting at the
court,

37:35.200 --> 37:37.066 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
at the Imperial Court of Russia,

37:37.066 --> 37:38.500 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
are not servants.

37:38.500 --> 37:39.633 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
They're confidants

37:39.633 --> 37:42.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and secretaries, and, um...

37:42.533 --> 37:44.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
basically friends of
the empress.

37:44.500 --> 37:45.933 align:left position:70% line:77% size:20%
Exactly.
So she might have been

37:45.933 --> 37:48.733 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
a baroness and a confidant
to the empress...
Mm-hmm.

37:48.733 --> 37:50.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and maybe they were gifted
Mm-hmm.

37:50.066 --> 37:51.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
by the empress to her.

37:51.633 --> 37:53.233 align:left position:72.5% line:77% size:17.5%
Mm-hmm.
In terms of their date,

37:53.233 --> 37:57.533 align:left position:77.5% line:71% size:12.5%
Okay.
they're between probably 1860
and 1880, give or take.

37:57.533 --> 38:00.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We've got two fitted boxes
from some retailer in Moscow.

38:00.933 --> 38:03.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There are no marks
on any of these pieces,

38:03.233 --> 38:05.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But they're,
however, um, indications

38:05.466 --> 38:07.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that it was of
the sort of jewelry,

38:07.366 --> 38:10.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
clearly, th-that was worn
in court settings

38:10.233 --> 38:13.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because it's very fancy,
very big and impressive.

38:13.300 --> 38:15.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
These pieces are
silver-topped,

38:15.166 --> 38:18.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
set with mine-cut
and cushion-cut diamonds

38:18.433 --> 38:20.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and carbuncle garnets.

38:20.166 --> 38:22.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The garnets
are large and very dark.

38:22.300 --> 38:23.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
They're hollowed out
from behind,

38:23.900 --> 38:26.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then they're backed
onto polished yellow gold,

38:26.900 --> 38:30.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
so that you get a light,
almost ruby-like color.

38:30.533 --> 38:32.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I see between
12 and 14 carats

38:32.700 --> 38:33.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
of old diamonds.

38:33.966 --> 38:36.533 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And the garnets,
of course,

38:36.533 --> 38:38.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
enhance it for
color and, and light.

38:38.800 --> 38:40.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
But, most importantly,

38:40.700 --> 38:44.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
it's pre-revolutionary
Russian court jewelry.

38:44.766 --> 38:46.800 align:left position:80% line:77% size:10%
Mm.
And in a retail setting,

38:46.800 --> 38:50.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I would see a price of
$12,000 to $15,000...

38:50.400 --> 38:52.066 align:left position:45% line:77% size:45%
Okay.
...on this collection.

38:52.066 --> 38:53.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Nice, very nice.

38:53.833 --> 38:57.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
I would give it
an insurance value of

38:57.233 --> 38:58.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
$18,000 to $24,000.

38:58.600 --> 38:59.766 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Okay.

38:59.766 --> 39:01.566 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's terrific to see here.
Oh, thank you.

39:01.566 --> 39:04.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's absolutely terrific
to see here.
Thank you so much.

One Bob Ross painting
that stood out:

39:28.966 --> 39:31.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a beautiful Alaskan scene

GUEST:
This painting was hanging
in my parents' home,

39:36.000 --> 39:38.700 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
and we gained it at home
in 2012

39:38.700 --> 39:41.000 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and stuck it in the closet
for four years.

39:41.000 --> 39:44.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
(chuckles)
The Kenai Peninsula had a

39:44.500 --> 39:46.233 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
7.1. earthquake.

39:46.233 --> 39:47.233 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Wow.

39:47.233 --> 39:50.300 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
And we had a set of moose horns

39:50.300 --> 39:52.833 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
hanging above our bed.
(laughs)

39:52.833 --> 39:56.200 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
And after the earthquake,
we decided that...

39:56.200 --> 39:57.733 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
we're taking that down.

39:57.733 --> 39:59.800 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
The painting came
out of the closet,

39:59.800 --> 40:01.266 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
and we hung it up.

40:01.266 --> 40:03.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So, did you know it was
a Bob Ross painting

40:03.533 --> 40:05.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
when you put it
into the closet?

40:05.100 --> 40:06.233 align:left position:52.5% line:89% size:37.5%
No, we did not.

40:06.233 --> 40:08.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Mm-hmm.
It was sometime after that,

40:08.500 --> 40:10.333 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
we see the signature,

40:10.333 --> 40:13.233 align:left position:37.5% line:71% size:52.5%
and we're like, "Wow,
we got something here."
Mm-hmm.

40:13.233 --> 40:16.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Bob Ross is
a public television legend.

40:16.333 --> 40:18.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He taught so many
people to not only to paint,

40:18.733 --> 40:20.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
but to enjoy painting.

40:20.033 --> 40:21.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He made it safe
to make mistakes.

40:21.966 --> 40:24.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He was telling you, "Just, you
know, do whatever you want."

40:24.866 --> 40:26.200 align:left position:82.5% line:77% size:7.5%
Mm.
Paint a little happy tree

40:26.200 --> 40:28.233 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
or a little, you know,
happy cloud.
(chuckles)

40:28.233 --> 40:29.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And it was so refreshing,

40:29.700 --> 40:31.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because the other
painting teachers

40:31.266 --> 40:33.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
were trying to teach you
formal painting.

40:33.500 --> 40:36.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
This is an oil on canvas,

40:36.200 --> 40:38.066 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and it's signed in
the lower lefthand corner.

40:38.066 --> 40:39.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It says "Ross 79."

40:39.866 --> 40:43.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And it's painted with a
technique we called wet on wet,

40:43.400 --> 40:45.866 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and just add on layer
on layer without letting it dry.

40:45.866 --> 40:47.933 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
It allows you to make
a painting really quickly,

40:47.933 --> 40:49.866 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and as Bob Ross did
on his show,

40:49.866 --> 40:50.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
under half an hour,

40:50.966 --> 40:52.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
he could have an,
an complete painting.

40:52.133 --> 40:54.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's been reported that
Bob Ross painted

40:54.066 --> 40:57.433 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
over 30,000 paintings
during his lifetime,

40:57.433 --> 40:59.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
which is a crazy number
of paintings.

40:59.800 --> 41:02.933 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
In 1983, he started doing his
"Joy of Painting" TV show.

41:02.933 --> 41:04.566 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
From that time forward,

41:04.566 --> 41:05.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
all the paintings he did

41:05.600 --> 41:07.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
were owned by
the Bob Ross company.

41:07.600 --> 41:08.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
All of his previous paintings

41:08.700 --> 41:10.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
are on... kind of
on the open market.

41:10.866 --> 41:13.633 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
We don't see them that often
in the lower 48 states.
Mm, okay.

41:13.633 --> 41:15.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I would give an auction
estimate for this painting

41:15.866 --> 41:18.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
of $15,000 to $20,000.

41:18.566 --> 41:20.100 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Wow.

41:20.100 --> 41:22.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
That is amazing.

41:22.700 --> 41:24.466 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
That's incredible.

41:24.466 --> 41:28.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
$15,000 to $20,000 is
a conservative estimate.

41:28.300 --> 41:31.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
For particularly good ones--
which this is--

41:31.400 --> 41:33.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I could easily see

41:33.400 --> 41:35.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
it hitting $25,000,

41:35.100 --> 41:37.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
maybe even $30,000.
(softly): Wow.

41:37.333 --> 41:40.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Yeah.
That is...

41:40.166 --> 41:41.466 align:left position:57.5% line:5% size:32.5%
unbelievable.

41:41.466 --> 41:44.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Isn't it crazy?
That is crazy.

41:44.366 --> 41:47.366 align:left position:75% line:77% size:15%
GUEST:
We were just going for
a walk up our street,

41:47.366 --> 41:49.100 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
and a few houses down,

41:49.100 --> 41:51.633 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
there was some items
on the curb,

41:51.633 --> 41:55.133 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
and my husband said,
"We'll get it on the way back,"

41:55.133 --> 41:57.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
And I said, "No, no!
These plates are too nice."

41:57.500 --> 41:59.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
"Well, let's take them now."

41:59.366 --> 42:01.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
His name is Robert Mayokok.

42:01.666 --> 42:02.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
He is Alaskan Native.

42:02.700 --> 42:05.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
He pursued the traditional ways.

42:05.566 --> 42:08.733 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
And so all of these activities,

42:08.733 --> 42:12.000 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
he understood,
he had participated in them.

42:12.000 --> 42:13.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
These are hand-painted.

42:13.066 --> 42:15.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He was a
fairly prolific artist.

42:15.633 --> 42:17.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
If they showed up
in an antique shop,

42:17.533 --> 42:19.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think we could
say a price on them

42:19.133 --> 42:21.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
of at least $50 or $60 each.

42:21.666 --> 42:23.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh, wow.

42:23.266 --> 42:25.833 align:left position:70% line:5% size:20%
Awesome.

42:25.833 --> 42:27.300 align:left position:65% line:5% size:25%
Thank you.

GUEST:
There was an auction
for youth hockey in 1990s.

42:32.433 --> 42:34.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
I bought it for $100.

42:34.033 --> 42:36.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
He signed it, which I was told

42:36.866 --> 42:38.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
he rarely signs anything.

42:38.100 --> 42:40.000 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
And you're a hockey mom?
Yes.

42:40.000 --> 42:42.533 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
And we have Snoopy
here with a hockey stick.

42:42.533 --> 42:43.800 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
This is a really nice, big,
bold signature.

42:43.800 --> 42:44.966 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
He did occasionally

42:44.966 --> 42:46.166 align:left position:47.5% line:5% size:42.5%
take these prints

42:46.166 --> 42:47.833 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and sign them for charities,

42:47.833 --> 42:49.100 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
but not that frequently.

42:49.100 --> 42:50.866 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
And the most
important distinction here

42:50.866 --> 42:51.900 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
is that this is a print.

42:51.900 --> 42:53.500 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
It's from a 1982 strip.

42:53.500 --> 42:54.700 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
If this were original,

42:54.700 --> 42:56.000 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
it would be worth
quite a bit more.

42:56.000 --> 42:58.533 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
It's still probably
an $800 to $1,200 piece.

42:58.533 --> 42:59.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Oh, okay, great.

42:59.933 --> 43:03.033 align:left position:52.5% line:5% size:37.5%
You struck gold
in Alaska here.
Yeah. Great.

We have 17 Sheldon Jackson
reindeer reports

43:13.333 --> 43:17.033 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
from 1893 to 1906.

43:17.033 --> 43:19.633 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
So this is just
part of our collection.

43:19.633 --> 43:24.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And because my grandfather
was a reindeer herder

43:24.466 --> 43:27.066 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and his name
is in some of these books,

43:27.066 --> 43:30.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that's... that was
our interest in them.

43:30.066 --> 43:32.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I'm learning things
in Alaska,

43:32.100 --> 43:34.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
never having
come to Alaska before,

43:34.066 --> 43:36.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and I'm grateful
to be here

43:36.766 --> 43:39.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and to, to learn
about the reindeer.

43:39.533 --> 43:41.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I did not know that they were
not indigenous

43:41.400 --> 43:44.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to Alaska,
they were introduced.

43:44.133 --> 43:47.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
The reindeer's cousin,
the caribou,

43:47.266 --> 43:50.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
is indigenous to Alaska.

43:50.000 --> 43:51.900 align:left position:57.5% line:5% size:32.5%
My ancestors,

43:51.900 --> 43:54.866 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
their main source of food,

43:54.866 --> 43:56.666 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
if you're on the coast,

43:56.666 --> 43:58.433 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
were sea mammals--

43:58.433 --> 44:02.533 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
so whales, walrus, and seals.

44:02.533 --> 44:07.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And now back in the 1800s,
so many of them were

44:07.166 --> 44:10.166 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
taken by--
in the whaling ships...

44:10.166 --> 44:12.333 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
Yeah.
...around the world, and so,

44:12.333 --> 44:16.066 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
that left very
little food for my ancestors.

44:16.066 --> 44:18.633 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
And Sheldon Jackson,

44:18.633 --> 44:22.666 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
the education agent,
saw that.

44:22.666 --> 44:26.066 align:left position:47.5% line:5% size:42.5%
He had heard that
other countries were

44:26.066 --> 44:28.700 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
raising reindeer for food,

44:28.700 --> 44:30.233 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
and so he thought
it would be good

44:30.233 --> 44:32.033 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
to try that in Alaska.

44:32.033 --> 44:34.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Yeah, and it was something
that indigenous people in,

44:34.500 --> 44:39.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in other parts of Siberia
and other parts

44:39.300 --> 44:41.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of Scandinavia did as well.
Right.

44:41.200 --> 44:43.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The books are so interesting,
because they are,

44:43.833 --> 44:45.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
as they say on the title,

44:45.233 --> 44:47.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
reports of this program.

44:47.400 --> 44:51.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So, in addition to
your grandfather's name,

44:51.066 --> 44:53.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
they have the names
of all of the people

44:53.666 --> 44:54.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that were involved
in the program,

44:54.833 --> 44:56.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and, of course,
the numbers of animals

44:56.366 --> 44:58.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then how the program
was doing, which is,

44:58.700 --> 44:59.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
which is fascinating.

44:59.800 --> 45:02.400 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
Because they are reports for

45:02.400 --> 45:05.100 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
an ongoing government program,

45:05.100 --> 45:06.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the only way you can really
get them

45:06.633 --> 45:08.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
is in the original editions

45:08.133 --> 45:09.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
 
as they're coming out
each year

45:09.600 --> 45:11.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
from the government printing
office.

45:11.266 --> 45:13.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There's photos in there,
there are maps.

45:13.666 --> 45:15.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
We can look at a photo.

45:15.166 --> 45:18.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It does show milking
reindeer.

45:18.933 --> 45:21.833 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
The female reindeer
were only meant

45:21.833 --> 45:24.566 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
to be given to people
in the community only.

45:24.566 --> 45:27.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
They wanted to keep the new
tradition of herding

45:27.266 --> 45:29.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
among indigenous Alaskans.

45:29.266 --> 45:32.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
These books are important
to you personally,

45:32.466 --> 45:35.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and it's also such
an i... an interesting moment

45:35.300 --> 45:40.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in the history of this very
diverse place of Alaska.

45:40.100 --> 45:42.033 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
A lot of these,
we bought

45:42.033 --> 45:43.266 align:left position:52.5% line:77% size:37.5%
40 years ago...
Right.

45:43.266 --> 45:45.300 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
And we have no idea

45:45.300 --> 45:46.966 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
what they're worth now.
Yeah.

45:46.966 --> 45:49.733 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
The price range varied;

45:49.733 --> 45:52.266 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
the average
was about $50.

45:52.266 --> 45:53.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
What I see right now

45:53.666 --> 45:55.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
on the retail market
is individual volumes

45:55.900 --> 45:56.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
selling for about,

45:56.966 --> 45:59.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
more like $100 to $200.
Mm-hmm.

46:07.433 --> 46:10.700 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
I brought an antique
presentation cane

46:10.700 --> 46:14.033 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
that was presented by
my great-great-grandfather

46:14.033 --> 46:17.566 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
to his son in 1855
in Philadelphia.

46:17.566 --> 46:20.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It has a
sterling silver cap

46:20.666 --> 46:24.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
where the presentation
engraving has been placed,

46:24.366 --> 46:27.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and then this beautiful wood
that is from

46:27.300 --> 46:29.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
the timbers of Independence
Hall.

46:29.166 --> 46:32.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think a conservative
auction estimate would be

46:32.400 --> 46:35.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
$1,500 to $2,500.
Mm-hmm.

46:35.766 --> 46:39.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And I would insure it
for $10,000.

46:39.300 --> 46:40.633 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.

46:40.633 --> 46:43.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And that's based on the fact
that a similar cane,

46:43.700 --> 46:45.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
estimated at
$1,000 to $2,000,

46:45.733 --> 46:49.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
sold for $11,000 in 2020.
(laughs)

46:50.833 --> 46:53.133 align:left position:60% line:5% size:30%
Okay, great.
Thank you.

46:54.800 --> 46:56.666 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
It is, I thought,

46:56.666 --> 46:59.566 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
the only sled left
from the first Iditarod.

46:59.566 --> 47:02.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I'm one of only nine still alive
from the first race.

47:02.266 --> 47:04.900 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
I found out later,
my friend Dan Seavey

47:04.900 --> 47:07.433 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
has one in the museum
in Seward.

47:07.433 --> 47:10.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
When was the first
Iditarod race?

47:10.600 --> 47:13.900 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
It begun in 1973,
with the goal of

47:13.900 --> 47:16.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
getting the Iditarod Trail
commemorated

47:16.466 --> 47:19.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
as part of the
National Historic Trail system.

47:19.233 --> 47:21.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I found that the actual

47:21.300 --> 47:22.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
original Iditarod Trail

47:22.866 --> 47:25.633 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
was created largely
during the gold rush years

47:25.633 --> 47:27.233 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
in the early 1900s?

47:27.233 --> 47:29.066 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
Yes, it was.
It was Seward

47:29.066 --> 47:31.600 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
to the gold rush town
of Iditarod.

47:31.600 --> 47:35.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
There were trails coming
in off of the Yukon from Nome

47:35.400 --> 47:38.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and also from Fairbanks
to Iditarod

47:38.100 --> 47:41.600 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
that all became part
of the Iditarod Trail.

47:41.600 --> 47:45.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
That old trail had not been
coursed for over a half century,

47:45.933 --> 47:49.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and it was just...
had to be relocated

47:49.366 --> 47:52.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and recreated, and it was
one monumental job.

47:52.666 --> 47:56.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Dog teams existed
until, uh, the snowmobile came,

47:56.833 --> 47:58.733 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
and all of a sudden,
almost overnight,

47:58.733 --> 48:00.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
where there were
hundreds of thousands

48:00.700 --> 48:03.200 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
of sled dogs
across the north,

48:03.200 --> 48:04.400 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
within about
a five-year stretch,

48:04.400 --> 48:05.600 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
there were almost none,

48:05.600 --> 48:07.466 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
and we had to do
something to save them.

48:07.466 --> 48:09.166 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
How did you build this sled?

48:09.166 --> 48:11.966 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
The stanchions
are hockey sticks.

48:11.966 --> 48:14.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
The rest of it's hickory,
and it's all steamed and bent.

48:14.566 --> 48:15.900 align:left position:55% line:89% size:35%
I designed it,

48:15.900 --> 48:18.266 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
and I got
three friends going,

48:18.266 --> 48:19.566 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
and they worked
day and day... and night

48:19.566 --> 48:21.733 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
for three days and nights

48:21.733 --> 48:23.100 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
without going to sleep

48:23.100 --> 48:25.000 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
to finish it
in time for the race.

48:25.000 --> 48:26.666 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
It got me a thousand miles.
S...

48:26.666 --> 48:29.000 align:left position:60% line:71% size:30%
And this was
my shelter as well...
This...

48:29.000 --> 48:31.800 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
I'd jam my snowshoes
in the snow...

48:31.800 --> 48:33.700 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
Yeah.
And put a canvas over it,

48:33.700 --> 48:34.766 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
and I'd sleep inside.

48:34.766 --> 48:37.200 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
No!
Yeah, at 40, 50 below zero.

48:37.200 --> 48:38.466 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
Wow.
And the dogs

48:38.466 --> 48:40.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
survive very well
in lower temperatures.

48:40.700 --> 48:42.300 align:left position:60% line:71% size:30%
Dogs...
Yeah, they're...
30 to 50 degrees...

48:42.300 --> 48:43.733 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
The dogs are born to it.

48:43.733 --> 48:46.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
They were very well-furred
back then, especially.

48:46.833 --> 48:49.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
How'd you know
when the dogs are tired?

48:49.200 --> 48:51.033 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
You just get to
know your dogs so well,

48:51.033 --> 48:52.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you know pretty much
what they can take.

48:52.866 --> 48:56.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And I would stop
every hour on the hour

48:56.033 --> 48:57.466 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
to check their feet.

48:57.466 --> 48:58.966 align:left position:55% line:5% size:35%
And then about
every three hours,

48:58.966 --> 49:02.300 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
I'd give them a snack,
and, and a good meal

49:02.300 --> 49:05.166 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
at the end of a,
of a run.

49:05.166 --> 49:07.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
What was it like
when you finished?

49:07.000 --> 49:08.433 align:left position:55% line:89% size:35%
I was so high,

49:08.433 --> 49:11.000 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
knowing I was actually
going to make Nome.

49:11.000 --> 49:14.233 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
My glacier goggles
are fogging up.

49:14.233 --> 49:17.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
And I thought,
"Okay, I'm this close to Nome.

49:17.533 --> 49:20.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
"I'm getting sunburned on my...
on the left side of my face,

49:20.600 --> 49:23.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
"frostbitten on the right side,
and I'm going snow-blind,

49:23.333 --> 49:26.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
but I don't care.
I am gonna make Nome."

49:26.133 --> 49:27.333 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
And I got to Nome,

49:27.333 --> 49:28.800 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
and the whole town
would turn out,

49:28.800 --> 49:31.100 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
the fire siren would sound,

49:31.100 --> 49:32.933 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
and the mayor would
be there,

49:32.933 --> 49:34.566 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and it was a hero's welcome

49:34.566 --> 49:35.966 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
to everyone.

49:35.966 --> 49:39.566 align:left position:30% line:71% size:60%
The whole north was just
ignited.

49:39.566 --> 49:41.033 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
In the last 50 years,

49:41.033 --> 49:43.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
the sleds have gotten
much more aerodynamic

49:43.766 --> 49:45.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and not as homemade...
(chuckling): No.

49:45.133 --> 49:47.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
much more
professionally built, right?

49:47.133 --> 49:49.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
But we have this sled here.

49:49.700 --> 49:52.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And as far as I know,
and you know,

49:52.966 --> 49:56.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
there's only one other sled
that's extant from,

49:56.000 --> 49:57.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
from this race, right?
Yes, yeah.

49:57.433 --> 49:58.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
In the museum.
Yeah.

49:58.666 --> 50:00.966 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
We look at this
as a milestone piece.

50:00.966 --> 50:03.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's from the first
Iditarod.

50:03.800 --> 50:06.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
There's only one first Iditarod.

50:06.166 --> 50:07.200 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Only one first race.

50:07.200 --> 50:09.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
An auction estimate
on this would be

50:09.533 --> 50:12.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
somewhere in the $20,000

50:12.000 --> 50:14.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to $30,000 range.

50:14.833 --> 50:16.600 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Wow.

50:16.600 --> 50:18.333 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
That's impressive.

50:18.333 --> 50:19.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I would insure it for

50:19.500 --> 50:21.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
at least $40,000.
Okay.

50:21.766 --> 50:23.666 align:left position:60% line:5% size:30%
Okay, that's
good information,

50:23.666 --> 50:26.600 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
that's very valuable
information to have.

50:30.166 --> 50:32.366 align:left position:45% line:77% size:45%
PEÑA:
And now it's time for
the "Roadshow" Feedback Booth.

50:32.366 --> 50:34.133 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
We have a Renaissance painting

50:34.133 --> 50:36.133 align:left position:47.5% line:5% size:42.5%
from the 1780s...
No.

50:36.133 --> 50:38.333 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
From the 1880s.
No.

50:38.333 --> 50:39.900 align:left position:52.5% line:5% size:37.5%
From the 1980s.
Yes.

50:39.900 --> 50:41.666 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
But it's worth about what
we paid for.

50:41.666 --> 50:44.200 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
I'm a retired kindergarten
first grade teacher.

50:44.200 --> 50:45.933 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
I took this to school
every year

50:45.933 --> 50:47.566 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
to share with my students.

50:47.566 --> 50:49.166 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
And unfortunately, one year,

50:49.166 --> 50:51.433 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
one of my students
knocked it off the table,

50:51.433 --> 50:53.366 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
hence the broken piece.

50:53.366 --> 50:55.966 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
My husband said that was
the last time

50:55.966 --> 50:58.433 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
I was taking it to school.

50:58.433 --> 51:02.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We brought these spears and
an axe from the 18th century.

51:02.700 --> 51:04.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Not worth as much as I had
hoped,

51:04.266 --> 51:05.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
but we had a great time,

51:05.700 --> 51:08.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and we didn't have to wait
in any lines.

51:08.366 --> 51:09.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Everybody got out of our way,

51:09.466 --> 51:11.033 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It was fun.
(laughs)

51:11.033 --> 51:13.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
This is for all my friends
here in northeastern Ohio,

51:13.166 --> 51:15.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I brought the-- that are
still waiting for

51:15.133 --> 51:16.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
the Browns to go to
a Super Bowl.

51:16.900 --> 51:20.566 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I brought the 1964
championship game program,

51:20.566 --> 51:24.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
which I attended
when I was in college in 1964,

51:24.133 --> 51:28.633 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and also my Otto Graham
and Dante Lavelli autographs.

51:28.633 --> 51:29.866 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Go Browns.

51:29.866 --> 51:32.000 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
This was an ancient piece

51:32.000 --> 51:34.033 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
of the pyramids of Egypt,

51:34.033 --> 51:36.000 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
except it's not ancient.

51:36.000 --> 51:37.366 align:left position:65% line:5% size:25%
(laughs)

51:37.366 --> 51:39.000 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
And it's not worth anything.

51:39.000 --> 51:40.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
(laughing):
And it's not worth anything.

51:40.733 --> 51:44.400 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
I came with some diamonds
from my grandmother,

51:44.400 --> 51:46.600 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and they were appraised at
market value.

51:46.600 --> 51:49.066 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
But, of course, they are
always priceless.

51:49.066 --> 51:51.066 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
And, of course,
everyone knows that

51:51.066 --> 51:53.300 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
diamonds are
a girl's best friend.

51:53.300 --> 51:56.866 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
I brought St. Francis to
the antique show.

51:56.866 --> 51:59.633 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
They think it's
a couple hundred years old

51:59.633 --> 52:02.200 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
and worth
a couple hundred dollars.

52:02.200 --> 52:05.633 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
The poor guy,
his halo fell off.

52:05.633 --> 52:07.200 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
It happens to the best of us;

52:07.200 --> 52:08.933 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
mine fell off years ago.

52:08.933 --> 52:10.733 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
As you can see by my shirt,

52:10.733 --> 52:13.366 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
I brought my entire family to
the "Antiques Roadshow."

52:13.366 --> 52:14.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
I had a tremendous time

52:14.966 --> 52:17.433 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
getting my Grandpa Bud's
World War II items appraised

52:17.433 --> 52:19.300 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
for up to $500.

52:19.300 --> 52:20.500 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
PEÑA:
Thanks for watching.

52:20.500 --> 52:23.200 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
See you next time
on "Antiques Roadshow."
