Antiques Roadshow UK Series 16 Episode 6 Beaumaris, Anglesey

[Music] [Applause] [Music] this week we've brought the Antiques Roadshow to the northwest corner of Wales and the island of Anglesey we've crossed the Menai straits by way of Thomas Telford magnificent suspension bridge who come here in their thousands as holiday visitors the castle is one of the finest examples in Europe of the concentric design with perfect symmetry on all four sides and it commands the many straights which separate Anglesey from the Welsh mainland the real growth of beaumaris came in the nineteenth century the British love of the seaside is a relatively recent passion for most people the coast was simply inaccessible and it wasn't until the paddle steamers began bringing tripperz from the ports of Lancashire but the holiday trade here really began to develop fine houses like Victoria Terrace were built in the 1830s by architect Joseph hansom for rich industrialists from the north and the Midlands but hansom also designed for the harsher side of Victorian life beaumaris jail was built by him too and unfortunate inmates under sentence of death took their last march to the scaffold along this corridor contemporary accounts tell us that the public came out in great numbers to witness the grisly event [Music] beaumaris is also the home of a museum of childhood mementos of youth and their growing interest to collectors is something I'll be returning to with Hilary Kay a little later in the program our home for the day is the pleasure center here in beaumaris so let's now join our experts with the people of North Wales no I'm not a collector there be in the household as long as I've known over yes this little beaker here which has very nice verse on it friendship without interest love without deceit printed one way up there and then the other way I have to put it up the other way to see the print on the other side this is cream-colored earthenware this one's made about 1820 and I suppose it's unfortunate has a little damage here worth about 50 60 pounds which is did you treasure it or no no so Charlie was just there in the cupboard with the odds and ends but I think well I think you should take the bones out this is almost even nicer after cream where had run its course as it were as the main material for making any English pottery the Potter started making pearl way and to do that they used cobalt in the glades instead of iron which is in the green colored earthenware and so we've got this lovely junk and we have here the date of course as you can see 1829 tells exactly when it was made beautifully painted round the top here and printed with the farmers arms and in those days literally thousands and thousands of gems were made with different mottos farmers arms blacksmiths arms God trust the plow and so on but this isn't a particularly lovely my father kept the knives that he used for the pig killing in Heerlen yes and the thermometers that the cheese-making well that's lovely and there's not much away there's no damage to it this has a lovely verse on about the honest Olaf Armour and that's a splendid juggernaut i'd probably will surprise you the value of that today in option is going to be between 350 450 pounds now the last year go and just reach you this a little later this has a mark on the bottom ELLs more and foster there and that tells you some acres and in fact you probably know this it's a kind of puzzle trickles water you pour water in and unless you put your finger over that little hole there it all comes out of the very surface it's got a print of a colored print of a clown on said to be based on the clown Grimaldi famous clown and a rather unpleasant scene here of a cockfight which ends with the death well again a nice job eighteen forty five fifty something like that little a too many of these and certainly worth one hundred hundred and fifty pounds thank you well put street down thank you very much well it that's very simple it simply means three pieces that's right and you can see here very clearly top section one middle section two and the bottom three and that's the the difference between a Welsh covered if you like on an English one in fact the world funds have very commonly these three pieces what I love about this is the size yes it's very interesting so I first looked at I couldn't believe that the top this top was actually made at the same time as the rest of it but it all matches up all the color is the same at the sides the paneling is the same at the sides it's obviously all been made in one piece well the style of these is a sort of 17th century style either 1600 yes but what dates this more accurately for me into the middle of the 18th century about 1750 is these fielded panels here these arched gothic II og panels here which is typical of where the second quarter of the 18th century up to about 1750 yes and that I think it's pretty consistent at the date of this type of thing it's a wonderful color have you been looking out for it well it was very neglected to my horror I found people standing on top of it to paint the ceiling and I managed to get a lot of the paint off and it was very dull in color somebody said to me I've had it French polish no it's just hard ground right these handles would I would date to about the 1870s they got a Victorian japanesey aesthetic movement look about in 1870 1880 it was in a farm where farmers so you know I think there was a lot of use but it's so nice you've got this lovely color here you can see very clearly these medullary rays of the oak which is the giveaway evoke that the way the growth brings grow here a nice dowel here slightly standing proud as it should do and this lovely bit of turning here all a lovely lovely color all matching up nicely everybody likes them they're so sweet they could go anywhere in the house and it would certainly make it auction between well certainly between two and a half thousand and three and a half thousand pounds and locally it could be worth even perhaps a little bit more the colors sort of work so well together don't they when you get a great range of staffordshire from the best period in 1850s 60s and that's the brilliant blue color which really jumps out and it sort of goes so well with the other bright oranges and yellows something about them in Bay British I think this one made for the export trade and it is made in rural Staffordshire titled on the base Gold Washington but of course the Potters themselves never seen George Washington them orders came to send a figure to the American markets and they hadn't got an image to do so what are they done they've taken a figure it's a hard or edgy of Franklin the other American the suppose they thought that overseas that will do and they titled it Washington they dressed him up as almost a British Admiral and there of it goes to America Purcell for a few cents there but clanking as Washington normally commands bouts two hundred and twenty two hundred fifty pounds that sort of age here you've got almost a contradiction to the idea of a staffer to black backs on one side you've got the Sailor and the reverse side a soldier so one side always facing the wall a double-sided figure which is most unusual how long have you had this one I've had that one about 30 years these things you bought locally I thought that one locally yes I bought it in Shangai Murray actually remember what you gave seven pounds I think I made that one is an unusual model is probably now worth about 350 pounds we've done really well but you see collection that gives a lot of pleasure keep on adding to its peers look at this lovely picture of cats at play but it's a picture with a difference isn't it yes can I can I give it a why where did this come from we had it at home in the nursery yes meant to send the children to sleep so I can dated back in Israel Jews 1899 and before that it came from the custom in brandy Hall it's doing a little bit of Bernard there we are now it's doing its its little dance and just look at the complexity of that movement at the front there we've got the movement of the cat's head and the arm holding the bow and the little children on the side the little kittens jumping up and down but to me the real excitement is looking at the back because talk about held together with a with a whisper and a prayer it's the most extraordinary mechanism when you look inside isn't it look at that I mean it doesn't look as if it would work for more than five minutes and here it is well over a century later working as well as the day that it was made I'd be interested in there it's Continental yes I'm certain it's Continental I would have thought that it was made probably in Germany yes date wise we're talking about I would have thought it was made in about 1885 value I would have said between about 400 and 600 pounds of auction because of this wonderful amusement and the novelty and as we saw in the back of minute ago the technology to put together this extraordinary mechanism that has let it continue to work for a hundred years item we acquired when we moved up to North Wales here two of them actually one square and this round one is what is this and it I understand a beetle trap a beetle arch trap amazing you put the plate in the center here yes it came along the side disappeared inside and it's called the demon I see yeah isn't it wonderful I remember there was a thing called the roach motel this is sort of this is a fashion bridge motel and and the slogan was they they check in but they don't check out so it's the same sort of thing you've got to have the text which is English this is the English edition because it's a second edition and you look for the folds where it came out of that and if that's an original fold that it's almost sure to be an original map very good let us be Dibango see it's actually quite a desirable well yes it's not a very rare low speed did it he actually first published it in 1611 to 1613 this you'll see is 1629 and therefore is a second edition which was rien graved and sold by submarine and humble I think that well at auction today you'd have to pay up about a hundred pounds for it oh gosh it is terribly exciting the mark on here is the very first electroplate mark look at it first of all just that well it's an electric made sugar Basin somewhat warm the mark is that of Elkington our company and you get to elect in one word tro in the next please in the next and they they actually took out the patent in a team in the eighteenth motive Arif and that mark was only used in 1840 so that is actually one of the very first pieces of electro played ever made in the word I have not seen that mark before I've seen it in the fall but I've never seen Donald on a piece and what they say right cause very costly what's that mean the red dragon right and then so there's also the world dragon who carved this do you know think about the history of it at all alright so grandma it's probably a little bit older than that this it's made of oak the idea of them it's late 17th century so 300 years ago but most of them especially these small ones were quite close together here were made probably in the late 19th century yeah these are the fighting dragons which I think we see down below I just about have that back up here who won right so what's it worth it's a family piece you haven't had it installed or valued at at all you like it as an object it's quite comfortable isn't it you can hide lots of things in here something like this because I think of the the world's connection here it's worth much more than I would normally say and I think you'd have to insure it for around about a thousand pounds and my bow a lot of money I asked you it was because it would be quite nice if you told me because I don't know what it is my civil I know I know what it means it's Japanese and it's a bronze and I know who the people are this is a God of good fortune in the cold hotae milk company by two boys and this is his bag of treasures and he brings good luck to him and we've got all sorts of different things on here which always signified luck and good fortune we've got some lucky papers money bags of money we've got precious objects we've got dire coppers malice he's another of the god of good fortunately acid fans and an Oni mask and only is a devil and this curious looking thing which looks like a sporran is the tale of a long-tailed turtle which means a long life where did it come from unusual thing to find really well as the story goes our great-grandmother was like the lady's maid to Lady Kennedy who apparently was her and her husband we're ambassadors in Japan ah must be 1850 sometime around there and I would date this more likely to be the odor in the 60s in fact sixties seventies so it hasn't got a you sister well I mean if this were a Japanese I mean it was made in Japan but it's not made for Japanese consumption this is an export piece which is why one says that it gets into the eighteen sixties didn't religion going on if it were a Japanese object you would push charcoal in there and it would either be and he batchi for warming all hands all for putting incense in and in fact even even though it was made for export some of these were made as incense burners but then you would have a hole in the lid yeah that smoke out yeah just a lid back on again and it hasn't got that so it's a bit difficult to know as I said what it was made for I think he's just a decorative Protestant cover and he really is quite an expensive thing because he was very well cast I think that that word so for somewhere around 1500 Tupac's goodness yes don't break granny it belongs my great-grandfather we don't know whether he caught it or whether he commissioned it he moved over from island to this country to live penniless and established the cooperage in Liverpool we don't know again whether he bought it or commission but it would seem entirely likely in that case that he commissioned it because this is a Cooper's work choice right a very accurate record from the plane to the lathe well and then we come to his bench with all the whatever you make barrels out of the planks there is this pipe there all his tools it has a title it's called bellows - man this is sort of excuse for this wonderful view because we come across to see the old Cooper scratching his head as the kids this one with rather a impish face are asking tremendous older fellows do you think it could have been his own workshop it may well have been is his workshop for all I know yes good willoughby I don't actually know what my grand-grandfather looked like so I can't tell you whether it's a good likeness or not the artist of this painting Joseph Wright some McIntyre whose signature we can see clearly here is actually a marine artist well known for his stormy coastal scenes so this is quite a departure for him I don't know whether you insure it or whether you even thought about such things it's just in the normal household insurance yes well I think that because it is a wonderful euro and it has such a marvelous personal history I would have thought something around six to eight thousand pounds he surprised me the curious thing about these things we're talking about a Japanese star they are Japanese and star but they're almost certainly Chinese in origin and what I'm going to do I'm going to take my life in my hands I'm going to take one of these apart and and look for the mark so we'll take off the lid and we'll upend this one here and there the mark as it happens says that it's the period of the emperor chen lon eighteenth century Chinese emperor but that's not the case these were probably pretty new at the time you bought them maybe in a couple of hundred years time someone will be collecting these and the way that they will in a few hundred years time tell that these are 20th century not 18th century is and I'm going to show you that now looking very very closely at the design the design is actually outlined in black and that black outline is actually a transfer print then when you come to the red part of the design they've used a red transfer printed outline to give you the the difference in in the red parts of the design let's just twizzle this round a bit here because as it happens I've got something right behind me here which is quite useful to compare with there we have a piece of Japanese porcelain of about 1890 and this you can see is exactly the sort of color scheme that they're imitating and and if you compare like for like you can see the difference in the veining of the leaves how that is actually a transfer print and this is actually done by hand I'm gonna ask the terribly rude question how much do you pay for between 700 and 800 at that price it's not a bad price to pay for something that's big something that's something that's very ornamental and we talk about antiques but all antiques have been new sometime yes it looks like a rather sort of sophisticated brawl it's doesn't it but it is in fact a cast-iron money box and the museum here has got really quite a collection of these and I picked this one because it is one of the more sophisticated ones money boxes of this cast and variety tended to to come over from from the states and it's interesting to think why people began to forward money in the first place and in the Civil War when a lot of paper money was being produced people actually lost confidence in paper currency and they wanted to listen I always associated money boxes with childhood hence the Museum of chop-o has come from but soaps of adults were saving money in this particular way think piggy bank to turn because they'd lost confidence to a large extent that was the case because in the Civil War they didn't their who was going to win and Confederate money who knew whether that was going to be worth everything so they kept coins and these marvel banks were produced but this is quite sophisticated it's a reclining Bank made by a company called Stephens that were based in Connecticut and the money go the money goes in there I can see you've got there n 2 into 3 pieces is a dime okay and then you push down the lever and there I've come the Aces up come the Aces and it was a sort of firm allegory of the despots the oriental workers who were shipped in into the states and they were accused of lying around all day playing cards so this is a bank really representing that but a super one and one of many that that are here in America to hold on to your money boxes indeed particularly if it looks like this I love the character is loved addict with the handle the way the snake just curls around forming the handle and sneaking all literally snake you all the way around right up to the top then just copy over the doctor so he's about to capture the butterfly but when I bought it I had it in mind that my husband was the snake and I wasn't the maker in fact his Barnard's and they will want most important terms of the 19th century and in fact their marks we can see very nicely just just there upon earth marked the actual date is 1856 the and that ties in very nicely with what we've gotten to me here which is this designed registration bar yes that is actually for the 8th of 1854 there's a much more modern inscription here though in Latin now my Latin is hopeless can you translate well that is our part of the story because I bought it as a silver wedding present from my husband and Latin means I have loved I love I will love our Edition I love that's what I'm terribly pleased about is that you put that inscription underneath yes because so often I find that people will have put a modern inscription on the outside of the piece but it does so often ruin a piece today I think for insurance you'd have to think in terms of at least 2,000 pounds now the save factory has got more problems than almost any other ceramic factory and the reason was that it was owned by lower to 1500 1/16 as sort of their own personal property and it maintained a fantastic quality control because it was meant for prestige not for making money really that meant that if anything misfired in the white stage it was stored and in the back by 1800 all this blank porcelain was sold off bought by Staffordshire decorators who promptly put on save style decoration onto the blanks how are we going to tell whether we're looking at a a piece of genuine porcelain which has been later decorated or be something which is in the style of but never came from serving the first place and there are several things we can look at the first is this color this is rose or as we call in this country the Rose pompadour named after Madame de Pompadour of course was mistress of the King it was her favorite color and it was a very expensive color to make it was derived from the gold this is not the right pink this is two blue and two washed out to be the real thing can you see this little photos I it's a blue dot he's got blue eyes and you don't get blue eyes in the 18th century they're always brown so that more than anything else you could say fine it's 19th century and the save burnishing was you know I mean it was phenomenally good better than anybody else has ever done this is simply not good farther it falls apart on the dating there's one other thing you see this little hole here that was done at 7:00 at 7:00 load and it was a firing process they put a little and if this will work they put a little hole in there and they fired their porcelain on a pin like that right now if there was glazing it would stick so if you're checking something you look to see whether there is glaze in that hole and there is possibly be right it's still a very good decorative cabinet cutting saucer and it's worth three to four hundred pounds not bad for forgery I've got good news and bad news for you here I don't know which one you'd like to hear mister I'll give you the bad news first the bad news is that basically Hendrik Baron kirkuk is probably at one of the lesser members of the Kirkuk family but the good news is that it this is probably one of the best pictures that I've seen by him he normally paints much smaller pictures than this so what we have is possibly one of his masterpieces tell me how did you acquire this picture well I came from my grandfather's house my grandfather I believe bought it in the 1920s and I believe he fed about five pounds right right well the first observation that I'd make seeing this picture is that it's very much inspired by Dutch 17th century landscape painting now the interesting thing is that Hendrik Baron cook cook came to London in 1882 and so the question here is was this painted in England or what was it painted in Holland my feeling is that it was probably my well being painted in this country have you have any thoughts at all of what it might be worth well I Benji's that I've looked at in I would have salt between one and two thousand possibly yes well now I think you're you're being too modest because I would think that it's certainly gonna be worth in between four and six thousand pounds and could well be worth a bit more but I think your was it your grandfather who paid five pounds was obviously a very a student at and I believe that it was originally owned by my great-grandmother who lived at four-lane ends and Tarpley in Cheshire she left it to my grandmother who was from Hoylake and she in turn left it to my mother who left it to me stylistically it's quite easy to date firstly the general shape is typical of what is known as the Sheraton Revival it's such a tiny small jewel like piece though but when you actually look at the individual parts as a whole it's got a lot of Georgian features in but with one or two things which date it to exactly that period the turn-of-the-century late Victorian early Edwardian 1900 firstly these struts here this idea of this projected column was revived by somebody called McMurdo a designer in the 1880s 1890s we've always called it a lady's desk now is that right I think because of the scale I mean it is quite small piece isn't it I mean when you actually realize how low down the writing surface is it is quite a small piece for certainly not for somebody very big but whoever's owned it lady or gentleman it's in exquisite conditioner everywhere you open it it's fresh almost as though it's completely new obviously not what do we got here that's what the butter wasn't supposed to see that's right that's lovely isn't it but beautifully made it's so fresh it's as though you could imagine there's a new piece of furniture it's obviously not being used very much it's been in one family which makes a negative for speed in our family somewhere legislations my great-grandmother's time for the comers here I've always thought the way the colors have been preserved on that end layer yeah and then when you close it you've got this I mean just too much to talk about him almost you've got this glorious FAR's of flowers here inlaid on a satin wood ground with mahogany bandings and mahogany here quartered with again a satin wood along the edge of it this is glorious you get this in gilt bronze in France about 30-40 years before this so he's incorporating a French motif and it's very modernistic structural architectural piece of furniture but a tiny lady's writing desk and again we just can't ignore this draw here this beautiful handle or guilt mentor's beautifully cast everything is quality very nicely made I bet it was a quite an expensive piece if you go into a shop to buy this you'd have to pay good three thousand pounds I wouldn't part with it no way and lots and lots of other accessories oil tanker railways water tank yes I mean this all looks as if it's 19 1950s in a gas station condition almost like a mirror isn't it it's a good step wonderful a collection like this because it's in such such super condition I would have thought would be worth three or four hundred pounds say on the bottom fireproof didn't know he can't say it just said for can you read that yeah it's a fireproof or something cannot be fine though it does say fire possess fireproof doesn't it fireproof oh you know why so you can put it on a hop on the old-fashioned cob yeah almost certainly this was made in derbyshire round about 1880 1890 so I mean it gets quite that's quite a collector's item yeah I mean an antique fair you could expect to be looking at hundred and fifty two in the back this is the standard work the history of the building and description of the Menai bridge a fabulous book the bridge of course was built by Thomas Telford but just look at the quality of the printing the way the book is made a title page Indian paper every leaf every sheet of it is got a watermark in it many of the copies are cut down but this is a full elephant folio superb we then come to these incredible architectural drawings though they describe and the greatest detail every single component of the bridge every bit of metalwork but if its stonework every the whole lot at the very back here there are a series of wonderful engravings of all the views of the Menai bridge so I would estimate that if this went to auction today I would say certainly any other football career would be pleased to accept it with a reserve of two thousand pounds and with competition he could make three thousand pounds however you have it eighty years well you might be interested to know that it comes from so long yes and the date roughly would be about 1800 and that's the time that the British troops went source alone and they put down King candy insulin the troops used to bring these back as souvenirs the blade is conventionally steel the grip is ivory more beautifully carved inlaid with silver and then the sheepy air of heavy brass but all pia catters look like this whether you have a one half the size or larger the same style and shape and carving but that is the name of its theater from Salaam about 1800 and the value would you like to know the value well I better tell you anyway then you look after it a bit more it's worth about three hundred and fifty pounds to a collector because this is a particularly fine specimen they want it is pretty chunky gentleman's pocket watch this is in fact a half hunter if you can imagine before the days of cars most travel was on a horse and open-faced watches have glassed the whole way across the dial and if you fell off you smashed a glass so some clever person came up with what we call a hunting cased watch which is effectively double-sided so it looks like that back and front then when you're riding along and you want to see the time you have to flip open the lid just sort of bit of a problem get the lid you often buckled the case hinge so somebody came up with this on idea called 1/2 hunter in other words you could pop it out of your waistcoat or your pocket and at a glance see the time as you were riding so there's a potted version of why we refer to the different cases as hunting and 1/2 hunting let's have a further look at this a white enamel dial the difference being for the 1/2 hunter it's got a small chapter ring which you can see through the little glass because obviously if you didn't have those central figures you wouldn't be able to read the time have you ever opened this before or not I haven't I'm afraid so you probably haven't seen this beautifully Pierceton in brave balanced which protects the balance wheel itself and I see that it is signed by a man called Kaiser of Hera foot also signed F Prize our he referred these things inside the back June what they're called will their watch papers have you ever had them out at all or not no no I didn't even know they were there right well let me show you something because this can be very very interesting there we are there's a few still got one left in there now when the watch maker repaired or looked after the watch he normally wrote on the back certainly a date and here we are look at all these various dates it's obviously 1876 1880 there and 1883 so every few years the watch has been cleaned and overhauled and very often they actually had the cost which might have been one and sixpence and the old money so a social history in itself with these little watch papers which are now on their own very collectible you pounds each tuple ictus of watch ephemera it's a lovely example of its type it's never going to make you a fortune but at auction at the moment probably in the region of two hundred and fifty pounds this has got to be one of the rarest pieces of English porcelain waited to get it I bought it from what you know it's a car boot sale but it was store mr. garden face at Sandringham you see this this came from a garden the fates yes a charity store well I've got to ask what you made for it well I paid three pounds did you know what's it was he bought at the time I just like didn't it at the time I sort of look it up when I got home in the local library and what what did work to be able to be able to find out really I thought it was a Wooster and I thought the artist could have been James Rogers I mean you're you're spot-on the distinctive thing that makes it would stir is the colour of the glaze it's very much bluer that's not as white as my son it's a soft English porcelain the colours the palette is unique to us to the mother soft greens and yellows especially this flame red in the decoration there which is a very distinctive colour so we now tend to use some Rogers type for these because there were several hands at work almost at that time the pattern is called bobbing birds have it they're a great fun aren't they wasn't abused what are they trying to do it seems a little sparrow like birds squawking at the owl and he's sort of startled out of his wits and his what his own ears picked up there and then was the Phoenix like birds taking no notice and just preening his father's they see they're all in the city little birds going on around him it has a very tiny chip enough to make a slight difference but not much but I'm sure job was to collect it would be comfortably valued at only six thousand pound of play is it something that you were yes I do so I'm not surprised it's it's the sort of thing that is very hard to find in perfect condition nowadays you don't if you can just see they're hunter and Rosco were the manufacturers they were a firm working in the UK in the 19th century and particularly making this rather exquisite Sandra's jury with things like golden enameling stones but the blue enamel really lends itself to mounting with gold and if you justices just take that out there and place the piece there we can see that the blue enamel contrasts beautifully with the gold on the bag then the earrings matching lovely diamonds as well and the diamonds and the gold and the blue enamel contrast superbly and you've got this sort of spiral technique where you've got the blue and then the white forming this sort of an integral package it really is a lovely piece one of the great problems with things like this is that it inevitably chips the enamel gets damaged so when you can find something that's got the diamonds it's got the style in the condition that it was in when it was originally manufactured it's terribly terribly I think that if this was being sold in one of the cell rooms because of the condition and because of the quality and because of just the sheer singularity of the item I think as I said it stands every chance of making maybe three and a half to four thousand pounds in auction and as a retail replacement to actually insure the item I think you probably find that that would retail there maybe six to seven thousand pounds well I've been told that it's a pillar box carried by Japanese men well that that's indeed quite right they did use it for containing all sorts of small items it's called an inroad this little bowl is called the og may and that should be at that end holding that Charter person okay yes this is called the next game yes here we've got a lack of one and this type is called a Manju Netsky because it resembles a rice cake and the Japanese for rice cake is Manju how did it get to Anglesey well it belonged to my grandfather and he used to go to Japan about a hundred years ago on business he was in the cotton trade this one dates from the second half of the last century we've got two pheasants on here on rocks the rocks have got details with little squares of gold foil that's actual gold underneath is clear lac-arts the the man genetic is actually super as well it's a really very very nice combination these are called mourn and they are the badges of princely families in Japan it's actually a very nice combination I would think those two would sell for somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds [Music] well that brings us now almost to the end of our visit to Anglesey today but not before one final story you'll be aware of the phrase smoking is bad for your health well I think that must have had a rather hollow ring for one man serving in the trenches and the British Army in the 1914-18 war he was obviously a smoker himself and it saved his life this was a cigarette case the German bullets struck him here as you can see did considerable damage to the case but undoubtedly saved his life and in that story we really do come to the end of this edition of the Antiques Roadshow our warm thanks to the people of beaumaris and beyond who may
