The look on her face in the background lol
some jewish ladies jewelry
500£ then would be over 1000£ today. And 2000£ would be close to 4500£.
Once owned by Jews great grandma knew
Good Teutonic hair! Yikes, you couldn’t say that today!
Old gold coming from Germany always has me raising an eyebrow as to its true chain of custody.
Not even worth selling at such a low price. I hope she passed it down until it was possibly worth more than that.
She had ear rings on also 😮
What a brilliant program the antiques road show was.
No pageantry, just the best of British.
"These intricate solid gold pieces are worth somewhere in the vicinity of 20 quid each, however the paperclip holding your name tag on is worth approximately 56,000 pounds…..surprised?"
"…..no"
Not one comment about the fact this is literally Nazi gold.
Clicked on it and got an advert fron vinted 😂. How bad is THAT!
Yeah gold is not going to be worth more than gold😅
1:46 when he starts speaking German ya ya 😂 !
The video quality is more british than the bad teeth.
Lol probably Nazi loot from her late husband 😂
she was hoping it’d be more
Probably 10k now
The weight in gold alone is more valuable 😂
muff chain, eh?
Unfortunately this item was found to actually be a reproduction
Today I saw a “muff chain” and I gotta say…. I always knew hygiene in centuries past were nothing like today, but who knew there was actually jewelry to decorate the most intimate of areas? Mind. Blown.
Ja.
She definitely expected a higher value and was surprisingly disappointed.
Muff chains. Lmao.
i would buy that gold foor 4000 pounds in an instant. i think in waight alone its over 6000 pounds
I have a vintage late 1700’s poop sleeve. It is in excellent condition with very little wear. It would be the centerpiece in a collection from that time era. I’d love to know it’s value
She wanted more. We always do. 😂
Well that was exciting. Not.
2:17 “Oh, I see. I thought you meant . . . Never mind.”
Muff chains eh ?
😆
Don’t watch these cause they don’t give dollar worths. Pounds??
I always laugh at the surprise to some valuations. £2000 here for the necklace is just a 35,000 mile service and oil change of a BMW 7-Series!
Coming from Germany it kind of makes you wonder what nationality the original owner was. Cough, cough.
Mrs Dr Strangelove, I presume.
that gold alone now is 20k
The gold value for scrap on that table today is probably 5-10k
I was clearing out some stuff from a house I was moving into, when a lotto ticket at the bottom of a box of odds and ends fell out. It was still valid, and though the Real Estate Agent and I tried tracing the previous owner, they just disappeared. So, after getting some legal advice, I took the ticket to the Newsagent to redeem it. Imagine my astonishment when the ticket won bugger all!! (GOTCHYA!! And you thought this was going to be a treasure story!!! 🤣)
Stop saying "muff chain"
How much was it worth?
The Tampa classics episode is complete compromise. It suggests ncis compromise and something about the USS Aberdeen. We also know this has sounds of improper possession and movement of rifles on that vessle.
£2000 in 1999 = £3,741.65 in 2025 (US$4833.84)
Lady coming through with pure gold and surprised
HMM ANYTHING FROM GERMANY AT THAT TIME FROM A WOMEN WITH DARK SHADES ON
WITH A GERMAN ACCENT ‘ALWAYS MADE ME SCEPTICAL !
"Because they were long it was assumed that a muff would hang from it and you’d put your hands through it ."
My wife turned me on to this show when we first started dating. Been a fan since. Wonderful to see the looks on people’s faces when they learn the history and value of their family heirlooms.
HOW IS THIS TITLED HIGHEST VALUE
Germany artifacts 😂
Name of the video starts "highest value", I was expecting minimum 100k, but it was 2k only, a pocket money.
Everything on UK Roadshow is under-priced….
