Nutcracker, Driving Game, Tretchikoff Painting
A mother and daughter drive the dealers nuts to secure a sale, the bidders enjoy a seventies classic, and toy collector Russell returns with a game that’s going nowhere fast.
First to arrive at Leith Theatre are mother and daughter Dee and Eleanor, who leave the dealers in pieces with their nutcracker contest.
Second up, Mark is sure to get mid-century pulses racing with his Tretchikoff print. It’s one of the 1950s most recognisable artworks, but will that popularity translate into a tidy profit for him?
Moving on to something slightly less in demand... Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Wumpty, a 1970s gonk mascot from the West Midlands. Will it yield a surprising profit, or should Abigail have left it at the car boot sale where she found it?
They’re followed by Will, from Glasgow, with some Charles Rennie Mackintosh-inspired ceramics he’d like appraised.
Last to try to make a sale today is returning Bidding Room favourite Russell from Yorkshire. As an avid toy collector, he’s usually got something the dealers will pay to play with, but his latest offering might be a bit of a non-starter.
