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?
I still remember the time a man brought in a Navaho Chieftan's blanket from the 1860s, which hung for years over the back of a chair in his home. The appraiser called it a national tresure and said its value was at least half a million dollars.
You missed out so much information. The reason that jade collection was so valuable was due to the fact one of the largest pieces had an imperial inscription on the Base
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?
Friend of mine was doing the demolition on a house with his uncle and they found a bottle of 1936 Hennessy cognac sealed ...... they drank it. Later they discovered that it was worth well over $1,000.00
"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."
I remember this show being so popular because everyone with out cable got this channel for free. Everyone had this show on. It was a very interesting show. So many memories as this show played in the background
I love , love, love The Antique Road Show. I love to watch it & see the Antique Items that People bring in . I love to see the unique Items & ones that are worth alot of money. I like to really listen to all the Peoples Stories behind & with the Antiques that they bring to the Antique Road Show. I like the People on The Antique Road Show The Appraisers & All. I love the Different States that They Go To Too.
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.
To all the people saying they should destroy the rhino cups I say what a waste. These are artifacts from the 17th and 18th century from when the world was a much different place. People would take an animal for all they're parts not just the horns. People kill an elephant to feed a village type of thing. I'm not advocating for modern killing for horns but these items are gorgeous pieces of history that should be preserved. If we destroyed everything that had a negative impact on something or someone else we wouldn't have much left.
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
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.
The value of the Faberge flower had very little to do with military and everything to do with Faberge. Everything made by Carl Faberge is insanely valuable. He was the best jeweler who ever lived.
@@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?

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.
40 years ago, we found a family photo album in Globe, AZ that dated from the mid to late 1800's. We tried for years to locate the family, finally gave up and donated it. It's in the photography collection of the National Museum of Black American history and Culture, D.C. I also had a postcard written by H.P. Lovecraft to Robert E. Howard. Donated that to the Howard museum in Cross Plains, TX. That's where stuff like that belongs.
There is a set of the 1914 Goudee uncirculated set of baseball cards an old man had and right before he passed away his wife sold the set back in 2012 I think. The 32 card set was all uncirculated cards that had never been touched by hands. The set sold for $880,000 dollars. The cards were soo intricate that each card was graded a 10 condition for the sensitive set.
My mum used to make me collect McDonald’s toys wouldn’t even let me take them out the little plastic bag. Said they will be worth lots in the future. 30 years later they are on eBay for about 30p
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.'
I'm so glad I subbed to this channel. Every day I find interesting or humorous videos in small bite-sized portions that go great with my morning coffee. Thanks!
😁😁😁😁 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 😂😂😂
I sometimes think about all the amazing items like these... that ended up in landfills for multitudes of reasons, the main one being that the average person has no clue what they're worth. Horrrrrible.
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.
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.
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 🤣
Best thing I found in grandparents house? A Civil War photo album from one of my ancestors who served in the Civil War. Pictures of him in uniform ( Union) and the gem of the photos was an autographed photo of Abraham Lincoln.
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.
@@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.
Anyone remember the "enlist " poster some hippie brought in that was in mint condition? It was a confederate civil war poster their version of uncle Sam and was super rare and worth 250,000. The hippie was shocked
One thing obvious about the PBS version... so many expensive finds are setup. Unfortunately real people can rarely mimic real emotion when they find out the value of their "unknown" treasures.
That last appraiser for the pocket watch was literally Rick’s appraiser. “Yeah. This watch is worth up to 250k retail.” Meanwhile, it’s actually worth 1.5 million dollars.
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.
They were from the 17th and 18th centuries...so close to ancient and before they were on the verge of extinction. Probably an artifact that should be in a museum. Even though the practice is outdated and inhumane it's still a part of history.
Im never buying rhino or stuff off exotic animals or animals in general..but I did buy a table and later discovered that it had elephant horn on it. Its second hand and I thought it was marble or something.
I love this old things so much that I wrote a series of romance novels about an antique shop whose owner works to return personal items to those who should have them. 📚📕📖
@@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!
Is 1 million "crazy rich" these days? It's a hell of a lot of money, but..."crazy rich?" Damian Lillard just signed a max NBA contract for 196 million. That's crazy rich.
Not a watch collector but do love watches and know a good amount about them. And I was watching the Patek watch episode at my parents one night. And we would guess the value and I was the only one that knew it was worth atleast 250k plus.
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
It should just be completely forbidden to own anything made of Rino horn. Everything should be turned in to museums and if private persons get caught with it there should be jail time.
What difference does it make if an antique made out of a rhino's horn is owned by an individual or part of a museum's collection? You just personally don't feel like any individual has the right to own an antique that's made out of a rhino's horn? Who are you? The queen of the universe?
That’s. Funny ...LOL BECAUSE A MILLION DOLLARS CAN BUY YOUR BUSINESS...which is a dream the average person struggling to pay bills & vacations with ... can only dream about . I have too much class to say what I really think of this statement. Godspeed ~ 🦋
The end problem is this.....You now have an item worth about $1,000,000. Just try and take out an insurance policy on it and ante up HUGE money each year. Most of the top items are sold shortly after because of this fact.
Valuer: "I would insure it, for at LEAST, $1,000,000" Owner: "Finally, I'm a millionaire" Valuer: "No, you'd only get 50 bucks if you sold it, but for insurance purposes it's worth $1,000,000"
Watched this show once and a young girl had 12 African masks she had brought in to have checked. The appraiser indicated the value was one million. She naturally was all excited and said one mill for all these masks? The appraiser said no, one mill per mask....12 mill total. At the end of the show she was in front of her masks and said they were for sale and she would give a great price!
But it is not still being produced, is it? The show cost so much to produce, to take these experts around the country, it couldn’t afford itself. I loved the show and its publication newsletter. Both went away and I’m still sad about it. Made everyone think we might just have one of those paintings or Knick knacks hidden in our cupboards or attics!
What was the most unexpectedly valuable thing you've ever seen on Antiques Roadshow?

The chief blanket

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

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

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.
Rick from Pawn Stars: it's worth $1 Million Dollars. I'll give you $13.50.
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

@@popspapa7059 His friend is in the storage room waiting for his call.
hahaha!
They were from the 17th and 18th centuries...so close to ancient and before they were on the verge of extinction. Probably an artifact that should be in a museum. Even though the practice is outdated and inhumane it's still a part of history.
Best show on tv for a couple of decades
Im never buying rhino or stuff off exotic animals or animals in general..but I did buy a table and later discovered that it had elephant horn on it. Its second hand and I thought it was marble or something.
Had tickets to Roadshow, my bucket list, when COVID hit and it was cancelled
Awe. Claire. I hope you have another chance to go. The COVID 19 messed so, many things up.
It's hard to imagine being so rich that you could buy million dollar watches. I'd sell the antique In a heart beat and retire
The company that made the watch bought it. It's in their museum now.
I love this old things so much that I wrote a series of romance novels about an antique shop whose owner works to return personal items to those who should have them. 📚📕📖
Oh yeah. As soon as I'm told it's worth a bundle, it's sold!
It’s funny how they try to keep a straight face but actually they’re saying CHA-CHING!!!!!!
BEST part of this video. The narrator strongly enforcing the DO NOT BUY RHINO HORN, ever! Same with ivory.
I had no idea you also had Antiques Roadshow in the US! That’s awesome :)
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!
4:05
just watched that episode...that guy has the greatest reaction ever!
Is 1 million "crazy rich" these days? It's a hell of a lot of money, but..."crazy rich?" Damian Lillard just signed a max NBA contract for 196 million. That's crazy rich.
Yea well people love to spend money on watching dudes play with balls
"Knick knack...pantload of greenbacks" what fun words all in one sentence 😂
Not a watch collector but do love watches and know a good amount about them. And I was watching the Patek watch episode at my parents one night. And we would guess the value and I was the only one that knew it was worth atleast 250k plus.
Rhino horns are worth tons. Got it 👍
Who is NOT surprised China changed its mind?
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
Incredible finds.
Please, please re-post without music. It really ruins this video.
It would be a nice idea to sell the rhino horn artifacts and donate all of the money to rhino conservation schemes.
Right? That or incinerate the peices. No need to continue to support and drive that disgusting market by making those peices worth a lot of money.
Makes me want to go through my junk drawers to find old shit. Right?
It should just be completely forbidden to own anything made of Rino horn. Everything should be turned in to museums and if private persons get caught with it there should be jail time.
What difference does it make if an antique made out of a rhino's horn is owned by an individual or part of a museum's collection? You just personally don't feel like any individual has the right to own an antique that's made out of a rhino's horn? Who are you? The queen of the universe?
00:39 The most understated "Dayum" in the history of humans...She must be a real pip...
I hardly think even a million dollars makes you crazy rich in 2021.
That’s. Funny ...LOL BECAUSE A MILLION DOLLARS CAN BUY YOUR BUSINESS...which is a dream the average person struggling to pay bills & vacations with ... can only dream about . I have too much class to say what I really think of this statement. Godspeed ~ 🦋
I like how they have the million dollar Boston Red Sox sports cards thumbtacked to that board. So much for the perfect condition they use to be in.
They wouldn't do that. Possibly magnets.
It's magnets
The end problem is this.....You now have an item worth about $1,000,000. Just try and take out an insurance policy on it and ante up HUGE money each year. Most of the top items are sold shortly after because of this fact.
Valuer: "I would insure it, for at LEAST, $1,000,000"
Owner: "Finally, I'm a millionaire"
Valuer: "No, you'd only get 50 bucks if you sold it, but for insurance purposes it's worth $1,000,000"
Dang. There's nothing in my attic. Sounds about right.
On a good day, that's worth about 0 dollars
I don't even have an attic.
Watched this show once and a young girl had 12 African masks she had brought in to have checked. The appraiser indicated the value was one million. She naturally was all excited and said one mill for all these masks? The appraiser said no, one mill per mask....12 mill total. At the end of the show she was in front of her masks and said they were for sale and she would give a great price!
Wow what kind of masks from Africa are worth 1 million each?
@@BGRUBBIN Beats me. This was a long time ago. Sure would like to know if she sold them or not!
Unless they were made of solid gold, I doubt they'd be worth anywhere near 1 mil each.....
That is one hell of a pocketwatch!
gears, springs, and jewels. Amazing craftsmen.
I wish these things where in the country i live in i have alot of antiek
I better hold onto this Timex I have.
I wish I was this lucky
I didn’t realise they had an American version of this program I thought it was only here in the UK
Yes, it had been around since the 90s.
autistic tech girl 1990 It airs on PBS.
But it is not still being produced, is it? The show cost so much to produce, to take these experts around the country, it couldn’t afford itself. I loved the show and its publication newsletter. Both went away and I’m still sad about it. Made everyone think we might just have one of those paintings or Knick knacks hidden in our cupboards or attics!
@@nevershutup684 It is still being produced here in America.
Bast: is it on tv? Where do I find it?
The composure some of these folks have is admirable, lol... I would have leapt into the appraisers arms and starting kissing them!
Amazing
My ex bought a kewpie doll at a garage sale and it turned out to be worth $7K.
I wonder some people reaction like:
250,000: oh ok
Quarter million dollar: wow wonderful.
Seriously it just the same.
yup, but only if you can find a buyer.
In my garden we grow fresh mint.
The pot is actually an ancient washing machine
I was cleaning out my nest, and I found an old book of my poems.
I bought a Bayard Tyler painting at Goodwill fit $10.00 and sold it at auction fir $3,400 :)
I friggin love this show!
I really like this video great job 👍
Cellar Door Love you ...l
