  I used to watch this show every Sunday afternoon with my husband 30 years ago. The theme song makes me happy. Loved the experts then. Real characters

  My beautiful and wonderful Nana passed down her Faberge Imperial Music Box Collection to my mum, which then passed it down to me. I&apos;ll keep them all through my life ❤

  Margaret Norman died back in 2009 of pancreatic cancer. She spent her last months finding excellent homes for her beloved dogs, so none would suffer her loss. She&apos;s also remembered for having written the definitive book on the breed.

  I’d settle for being half as happy as Margo and her dogs in my old age. Cheers to her

  From <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2gUoaUsuVs&amp;t=135">2:15</a>, about the toy bear, the commentator - &quot;He later fetched a princely sum of 23,000 pounds, went off on his travels, and now lives happily in a toy museum in Greece...&quot; ... and I was just waiting for him to continue and say &quot;and as for the stuffed bear....&quot;

  Aside: Queen Marie of Romania donated several items of the Russian nobility as well some of her own to the MARYHILL MUSEUM in Goldendale, Washington state, USA. &nbsp;The museum is unique and, I believe, has the distinction of being the most remote museum in America. It has a replica of a full size Stone Henge to honor the soldiers of the county who lost their lives in World War 1, located about 3 miles away, all part (and more!) of the original land ownership of Sam Hill. He also designed the first early road system in WA, as a test layout. You can walk it. I love museums and this one is one of the biggest small museums you’ll ever see. Eclectic history, unusual displays (which rotate, so not all shown all the time). Rodin pieces,an extensive chess set collection, French couture in scaled models of WW2 and after, plus more. To hear more you need to take the steamroller trip up down the Columbia River on the 4 hours tour. Sam Hill got around! I’ll leave the rest of that as a surprise to be discovered!<br><br>In the museum is a portrait of Nicholas, with the knife cuts tearing it into 4 sections during the revolutionary time, repaired, although still with the visible damage.

  Passionate people are so compelling.<br><br>I love that John Sandon is so excited to hold the newly discovered little English delft treasure at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2gUoaUsuVs&amp;t=268">4:28</a> that his voice cracks &amp; his hands shake.<br> &nbsp;<br>Unfortunately &amp; sadly, the mysterious collector &apos;Syd&apos; who purchased the piece died just a couple of years after appearing in this episode. He&apos;s the renowned American collector Syd Levethan, and we catch just a tiny glimpse of his astonishing Longridge Collection of early English pottery when John Sandon visits him in this video.<br><br>After Syd&apos;s death, Christie&apos;s was chosen to handle the sale of Syd&apos;s Longridge Collection of pottery. The collection was so vast it was auctioned over 4 days (2 days in 2010, 2 days in 2011), &amp; in two continents: 2 sales at Christie&apos;s London auction house, &amp; 2 sales at their New York City location. Syd Levethan collected only the best of the best, &amp; the sale of his Longridge Collection broke price records. His beloved slipware &amp; delftware pieces now appear in many public &amp; private collections around the world. And his name will forever appear in the provenance of these extraordinary pieces as they move down thru history.
