The Antiques Roadshow guest was stunned to discover the broken clock her dad bought for just £20 is “a rare piece” and has HUGE value

An Antiques Roadshow guest was stunned to discover the value of an old, broken clock her father bought for just £20 from an army second-hand shop.

Sunday’s episodes saw members of the public bring their worldly well-being to Powis Castle in Wales, with one woman eager to find out more about the watch from expert Richard Price – who described it as the “rarest object”.

The lady explained that she believed it was a World War II pilot’s watch and was relieved to find she was right.

Richard explained that the item had actually been used by the Luftwaffe, the German air force, and had a large leather strap, which was now missing.

If it was a model from A. Lange & Söhne, a German company that supplied watches to the Nazis, the price would rise significantly.

Then he opened the watch and said: “Joy of joy, it is A. Lange & Söhne [all collectors] want’.

Richard then concluded that the item was from 1941 and said the reason it was so rare and in such high demand was because the company’s factory was bombed in 1945.

The lady was stunned by the news and said her father bought it for £20 in Weymouth in the early 1970s and that he loved browsing around old shops.

Before you ask, “Was it a good purchase?”

“Pretty good buy,” exclaimed Richard, “I think I would be very happy if I had paid £20.”

He reiterated that it was the “rarest item” that “all collectors want”, before revealing it was worth between £8,000 and £10,000.

Completely shocked, the lady joked, “Maybe I won’t take it home.” [my father]’.

This comes after another Antiques Roadshow guest was surprised by the incredible value of a Hollywood film score after buying it at a car boot sale for just £5.

The series subsequently went to Wollaton Hall in Nottingham, which also happened to be Wayne Manor in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster Batman trilogy.

The score, which the guest found for sale in a “rather dilapidated folder,” contained handwritten notes by the famous American composer Bernard Herrmann.

Best known for his work in television and film, Bernard created the iconic music for Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960), Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane (1941) and the television series Twilight Zone.

The man explained how he came across the item: “There was a man standing in front of me and he was offering it for £5 but he didn’t want it so I happily took it.”

Iconic: The musical score, which the guest discovered for sale in a “rather scruffy folder,” contained handwritten notes by famous American composer Bernard Herrmann, who created the music for classic films such as Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” (pictured).

Lucky find: Explaining how he came across the item, the man said: “There was a man in front of me offering it for £5, but he didn’t want it, so I gladly took it.”

Adding: “I took a quick look at it, down to the contents of the box, and it definitely looked like it was worth £5.”

While expert Justin Croft revealed the score was “Bernard’s own copy” for the 1952 drama The Snows of Kilimanjaro, which starred Hollywood heartthrob Gregory Peck.

Tell the guest: “What I like about this is that there are a lot of annotations and that brings us closer to matching the score with the film.”

Commenting on the rating, he said: “I think it has some value. “It may not be his most important film score, it’s not the one that everyone knows him for.”

“I think it’s important that you have an original version of it with his corrections and his annotations made at the time of adapting it to the film.”

Before you shock the guest by announcing that it would be worth a whopping £800 to £1,000 at auction.

Delighted, the man quipped: “Not bad for £5.”
