When Antiques Roadshow first aired as a US show on Boston PBS, there was an episode that featured at the end a British family, whom brought in a wooden cradle for a baby. It had some sort of cartouche that read they -- whomever originally owned the cradle, were related to the British Monarchy. The Cradle was worth 1 or 2 million. I've Never seen the clip from the episode, online. Can you find it?

The chief blanket

Shakespeare notebook.

@@TheOlmecindian That was the one I thought of too.

The Alaskan Inuit helmet that looked like a rusty mess worth over $150k

Lol his reaction was great

And it sold for over 1 million. You can see it in the Detroit Institute of Arts!

I remember that. What dreams are made of.

@@karmatt3098 wow

It was a chief's wearing blanket...absolutely amazing

So what was all the other information he missed out seeing as you only pointed out 1 piece?

Yeah the ad for the show suggests the bowl alone, the thin simple one is worth 710k to over 1.4M, but it's the entire collection that is worth that much. I hope she sold it, no sense in hanging onto it

@@SnowbordrWRX What was the size of that bowl featured on the AR television commercial? The ad showed it passing thru various stages of it's life w/ diff owners. It appears to be 10 or 12' inches wide there. But seeing the bowl sitting in front of the lady's arm, far left, it looks to be much smaller, almost by half. * The commercial shows it filled with cheese puffs used as a snack serving bowl. Just really curious regarding actual size. Anybody know?

Well you better get your money back, Karen!

How did it taste?

Umm ok

I found a penny and it was worth a penny

Kenny M Did you pick it up...and all the day you had good luck?

Glad they enjoyed the bottle.

More like 1.35 lol. Rick isn't that generous.

Lmao gold! Actually that's a bit too much, hes usually doesnt offer that much

@Michael then he finds out his Weiner is to small for the rubbers

And of course he will be taking all the risk😂

"Yeah, he said it was worth $1 million, but I need to have room to make a profit. And it may sit around the shop for a while. Highest I can do is $14.75. Take it or leave it."

So glad to see how surprised the fellow was. Most Americans,have no idea of the importance of artist's like Rivera, Siquerios, and many other Mexican painters. Glad to see it away from the back door.

What's so important about them?

Personally, I would have liked to hear the explanations by the experts.

Scott Knight imagine if we destroyed items owned by nazis say a cup or one of their arm bands. You wouldn’t be able to have museum to teach about the wrongs

Envyous people.

How Dare Any One Person Have Power To Destroy History. Virtue Sacrificing A Sacrificed Rhino’s Horn Wont Bring It Back Or Prevent The Nexts Death. ISIS Destroys History, Architecture, Monuments, Everywhere They Conquer. I’m Certain They Say It’s Honorable For Muslims Everywhere, But Theres Those Of Us Around The Globe Who Wish To Preserve All Mankind’s History. Is It Fair To Destroy Art In Pursuit Of Eradicating A Medium?

I understand your reasoning but saving those peices and holding them at such an extraordinary value only perpetuates the black market for rhino horns even more because they're worth a lot of money, and when something is worth a lot of money people will do horrible things to get it. Rhinos are killed in horrific ways, and their numbers are dwindling. Mother's eyes are gauged out while their babies helplessly watch. Poachers saw her horns off while she's blind and leave her for dead with the baby desperately trying to revive its mother. Selling ANY rhino horns or elephant tusks no matter how old they are perpetuates the market and drives poachers to kill more to make more money. You shouldn't care about some old sculpture carved from a rhinos horn, you should care about your great grandchildren walking the same earth as rhinos still do and being in awe of what a magnificent and priceless creature they are.

@@mr.meeseeks5127 I get what you're driving at but the main point of history is to learn from it. Think of all the things that people marvel at that came about through death. The pyramids, great wall of China, Mayan monuments and pyramids etc.,etc. All built by slaves that where worked to death. Should those things all be destroyed as well?. A smart person learns and recognizes wrongs done but a stupid person will continue to do the same things over and over.

Clearly, you haven't seen 'Hereditary;

@Black.Flaps .Dont.Matchdamn.

you have more chances of getting haunted than finding anything valuable

Me too. 🥲

I wish I had a house.

😁😁😁😁 Thats exactly what I'm doing now!!! Lol and I just subscribed too... I've noticed videos from this channel before in the recommended list under a diff video I was watching but thought the channel was for like hard rock/heavy metal music related things 😂😂😂

it's like watching the news... a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and none of it lasts very long!

Cool Story Allan Foster. Thanks for Sharing it.

Good citizen.

I donated your comment to google because that's where it belongs.

Very classy! I'm impressed by the fact that you tried for years to find the family. A kind and generous thing to do. ❤

It's nice that you have more money than common sense.

Was.

@@uncletiggermclaren7592 Thank you for correcting me. I changed "is" to "was". But now I am still confused: doesn't my sentence now imply that someone else is the best?

@@Deezhan Well. I am not sure how you can measure these things. Esthetics are always subjective. What would be "better" anyway? Something made with materials that didn't exist in his time? Something made for modern customers? ( Many of his greatest works were made to order by Russian noblemen . . . people who live lives of luxury made possible by the fact they owned, and brutalised hundreds of thousands of "hereditary vassals" and they had no hesitation in burning people alive to teach their neighbours respect. It can not but taint something to know it was made for such a customer ) Would they be "better" objects if they measurably had no imperfections because of modern tools?. He didn't do the actual work on many of "his" pieces, he just designed them and had his tradesmen make them, or make the majority of it. So if someone designed something today, and put it through a CDC and 3D Printer . . .. Anyway, I don't think there are too many people wishing to have these overly elaborate jewels made by a modern artist, so it is oranges and apples.

So true,u get wealthy people showing off items they know are expensive and others almost praying theirs is worth something.

It breaks my heart to see kids or Grandkids fly in from out of state to clean out Grandma's house. I've seen dumpsters get filled with no regard whatsoever for the belongs. They get in, clean up, and put the house up for sale. Today's generation doesn't seem to care for "keepsakes" like previous generations. Maybe it has to do with the depression or rationing during world war II. Our kids don't want any of our stuff even though quite a bit has some real value. side note: Our treasures are insured for a cool mil.

I think younger generations treasure their grandparents immensely, but not their “stuff.” Most times what people leave behind is just a burden of posessions.

Yeah. Comic books I read in the 60s that cost 25-cents now sell for $35.00. 'mint condition,' 'original packaging.' Autographed items are discounted because they're not 'mint.'

Actually, I come here to hear the music.

It didn’t bother me.

@@jjgreybeard how is this "adhd music"

needless to say....

Lovely music. I listen to it daily.

Nic B......I finally gave up... gave two 30 gallon trash bags full to my grand-girls and let them have havoc on the whole bunch! That was probably the highest and best use they will ever have. Included those dang Mc Donald’s give always that I waited hours for at the drive throughs and ate way too many kids meals resulting in a worthless collection and about 20 pounds I sure didn’t need! Was fun though and let me have a project with my teen age boys.

Never shut up I never collected them but my daughter’s grandma did. She’s still adamant that they’ll be worth something.

My grandfather collects collectors items... I told him if it's advertised as a collector's item, you're overpaying and you'll be dead before it's worth anything. He disagrees, yet he hasn't proven me wrong. Maybe at his funeral I'll bring it up 🤣

Really

Hello how are you doing Shelly

lol they were magnets i suspect...looked like thumbtacks alright.

@@ben_mac8670 yes, clearly magnets.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Cellar Door Love you ...l

Swapnil Gaur I’ve been to Ricks pawn shop in Vegas. It’s a joke, don’t waste your time. Half the building is used for selling their cheap t shirts and mugs. We stayed about 15 minutes. Biggest waste of cab fair in my life.

Rick pays cash. These guys just give opinions.

@@testodude Yeah and they give you better appraisals. They have no skin in the game and they enjoy it for the stories as much as anything. Plus they get to see stuff they have never seen before or have only seen in books.

gears, springs, and jewels. Amazing craftsmen.

You mean there is one somewhere else? Where? Canada?

@@MrTruckerf No. The show has been on UK televison, and exported to ALL the Commonwealth Countries and extremely popular, since Black and White TV times. Well, 1979 anyway. The US copy-show didn't start until 1997. The longest running US TV primetime series is the Simpsons, 716 episodes. UK Antiques Roadshow has made 856 episodes for the BBC. The UK show frequently has objects 800 to a 1000 years old. And the British evaluators are not "showmen" they are professionals, calm, cautious, and ACTUAL experts, not some guy who has a shop in Vegas.

Actually the American version does have real experts all the time! I have watched the UK version and it’s fabulous just because there are objects that are incredibly old!

i'll give you $20 for it. i'm takiing all the risk!

Ikr

Titanic Truths some do.

Hahahahahaha

Leave the weed alone until you can spell “appraised”

Gene Simmons

If it's antique then it's worthless hahaha

Send it to me and I'll appraise it and send it back lol

Duke Of Hesse 😂😂

The company that made the watch bought it. It's in their museum now.

Awe. Claire. I hope you have another chance to go. The COVID 19 messed so, many things up.

"Can you wait 15 minutes, im gonna call a friend who knows alot more about this"

And he's taking a risk

pawn stars is a fake set up show

@@popspapa7059 His friend is in the storage room waiting for his call.

hahaha!

They do!!!

“Best I can do is $200.” -Rick from Pawn Stars.

It took me a second to get your comment.

I don't watch "Rick." I think people should be aware that you pay an appraiser and the appraiser cannot then buy your object. It's up to you to know what you are selling. "Rick" has no obligation to tell you how much he thinks your item is worth. So do your own research before you hand over your "antique" for peanuts!

One, at the time no one knew it was a 1 of a kind. Two, it was sold 12 years after that appraisal. Markets for antiques can change dramatically in that time.

The appraiser honestly did not KNOW it's true value when it came on the Road Show. Later it was found to be the ONLY ONE in existence.....Makes a big diff you know.

stop talking shit when China is actually doing good to protect wild life. Every time China does something, regardless of good or bad, people like you go into action to slander. Shame

​@Sheikh Yerbouti lmao, as if all extinct species live in China.

@Sheikh Yerbouti so I said as if. you are funny.

@@jdsce nobody else eats pangolins or imports more ivory than china
