I really love the content in this show. Unfortunately I am unable to understand most of the content due to my hearing loss. I have very powerful hearing aids but I still have problems understanding some words. What is needed is Close caption CC. I have committed on this subject before and didn’t get a response from anyone so far. Other RUclips channels provide close capture, I feel this channel should as will. It would increase your viewership I’m sure! Thanks guys hope to hear from someone soon.
It does seem odd that I can't even enable RUclips's automatic 'best guess' CC on their videos. I'm sure there are fans who would be willing to write them up correctly, too.
The problem is that it takes a couple of days for the CCing to happen. I just checked, and the closed captioning is now available, two days after the video went live.
Farrell McGovern / wonderful fantastic amazing words can describe the fact the they now have CC. That said it appears that know one else knows about this little fact excited you! I don't know how to thank you for letting me know but to thank you!
@@NewAgeDIY I, too, suffer from hearing loss. It's not too severe, but enough to cause me problems at times. So things like close captioning are important to me.
Adam. When your a Millionaire like yourself, You can afford to pay to have things apraised. We dont all have your money, but have been left things, Jewlery, toys, furniture, coins etc. Antique dealers, like wine snobs are just out to make money from others!!! Dont Diss people with less funds than you! We dont all have your luck.
@@SteveHodge "Mr." for surgeons is a Britishism. American surgeons ever since the suppression of barber-surgeons back in the 1800's have been diploma-ed doctors. Given Adam's age and the historical location of Adam's family, it's very likely his grandfather was a "Dr."
...pitched a show once called “Collecting Collectors”. Every episode would cover one individual and the history they put together. The amount of content there literally endless. You could still do separate episodes on different individuals with similar collections and it would still be radically different.
there's a really good old tool stall in an antique mall in Temecula Adam if you ever get the chance. prices are ok from what I recall but the guy labeled everything really well. Found some old Lufkin rules and a Starrett block plane, which I didn't know they made
Awesome episode, guys! I have a question about collecting: I recently won some costumes (Karen Page's casual outfits) from the PropShop Marvel TV auction. If they had been props or a superhero suit, I'd have an idea of how to display or store them and their potential for future appraisal. So, my question is this: what are any collecting 'faux pas' that I should avoid (especially for these more casual items)? Thanks and keep up the great work!
I am only about 11 minutes in so I don't know if this question is going to get asked later one thing I would like to know is does something ever come in that they don't have an expert for
Hi from sunny Cape Town South Africa! Most interesting episode so far, listened on your podcast, who knew, Antiques Roadshow nogal! Can't wait to know what that figurine really is...
The Iron Giant Bust was created by Steve Neill. Steve is currently building a 6 foot tall replica. I assisted him in 2017 at SNG studios, but due to various other projects in production we never really finished it. The bust is a concept that was originally developed by Lou Dalmaso for Wonderfest, but Steve liked it so much, he started making them for customers.
@@georgedaher1967 thanks for the reply it looks great. Be great to see the 6ft tall one what's he making it from? He documenting the build at all do you know? Thanks Colin.
@@hollowsuggsHe's making the sections out of styrene plastic sheet. He uses a paper template to measure before he scores the sheet to fold it into a three dimensional shape. The cylindrical arms and legs are made from PVC pipe. I worked on the chest section for about 1 month, but other projects came in and I had to stop. The rivets are (googly?) eyes painted gray. The rear spine section I made from PVC pipe cut at varying angles. He then decided to create the busts for sale. As far as documenting the build, go to Steve Neill, SNG Studio on RUclips for the beginning and middle parts of the build, and on Patreon, and WordPress for the next parts to be documented.
36:50 we call those people The Refinishers. :) But as i recall it was maybe a Cherry High boy with a faux finish that made it look like mahogany made in the US 1800's or so. When telling this story I would tell people at the time cherry was like particleboard of today, nothing special. Refinished it was 70k without refinish 250 to 300k and just a proper cleaning. I recall the two appraisers, the twin brothers, were sort of heartbroken. :(
the ivory reclining lady is pretty much what Adam said but, A it is Chinese, not Japanese and it was made for the Dutch-French-Italian- and german markets somewhere between 1740 and 1840 (there are earlier versions from Italy) ladies in 18th century holland weren't supposed to undress so they took these figurines when they went to the doctor this story in ongoing folklore is always incorrectly placed in the orient (china or japan) now these anatomical figurines dit not always come from china there are also local versions made of wood metal or clay doctors would sometimes have their own version which could be taken apart to show the insides and the inner anatomy these are mostly from the 19th century. as a decorative item, they were made well into the 1930s in various materials. I have seen many of these figurines in my 30+ years as an antiques expert and collector. also, we have a local version of the antiques roadshow named tussen Kunst and Kitsch (between art and kitsch) and they featured these with the above explanation at least a couple of times since 1984. value varies greatly with some fetching just pennies and others demanding thousands of dollars.
Adam should listen to the podcast put out by Mount Vernon. One episode talked about the key and I’m sure if he reached out via the podcast he could get what he needs. Maybe a joint collaboration?
I have a safe full of military medals and war trophies that were cast off by the heirs of those who won them because they simply did not care about their heritage. Even worse than the loss of the item to the family is the loss of the story that is behind it to all of us.
I have been collecting war medals for over 50 years now, and I still get surprised when a veteran goes digs out his medals to show me them, we'll chat about the medals and he'll tell me what he did to win them, and then he'll presents them to me, as nobody else in the family (if he even has any left alive) has shown any interest in them, and they will just get thrown out or sold. These then go into my collection more as a tribute to the man than an collectible item. There are so many interesting stories out there which history is going to lose with the passing of their generation.
There was a podcast episode... I want to say 99 percent invisible... But I may be wrong... About that female figure statue for medical purposes. I can't seem to find it. Pretty sure it's legit Adam.
There is some speculation as to the accuracy now. Back in the 1950s to 70s it was thought by medical researchers that the diagnostic dolls were legitimate. But with China's lack of willingness to share a lot of it's history, it was difficult to confirm. Whilst there are verified accounts of physicians having to remotely diagnose and treat women from the royal households. In these accounts the dolls were never mentioned. It was only done by the doctor talking to the Lady's attendants and by them feeling her body's 'pulses' via strings attached to various body parts. If the physicians made incorrect or unpopular diagnosis, they were beheaded. I'm guessing medical history in China is a bit patchy as many of China's best doctors were beheaded for perceived malpractice. So it's still open to debate as to the veracity of the ivory diagnostic doll.

Adam, your reaction was priceless! A all around very entertaining video
I love love love love love Antiques Roadshow. And I miss History Detectives.
I wish that Iron Giant bust was a speaker phone, one where the jaw moved every time people spoke.
Looking forward to the info on the ivory lounging figure.
Loved this episode - wish it were longer. I could listen to Sam Farrell for hours.
Sam was a fascinating guest.
What a great guest
One of the best Still Untitled episodes , and I've seen them all.
Adam. When your a Millionaire like yourself, You can afford to pay to have things apraised. We dont all have your money, but have been left things, Jewlery, toys, furniture, coins etc. Antique dealers, like wine snobs are just out to make money from others!!!
Dont Diss people with less funds than you! We dont all have your luck.
That was a damn fine episode
This podcast was very interesting and informative thanks guys
This was a truly amazing episode! So interesting
Your grandfather was a surgeon with a presumably delicate touch called Doctor Savage!? Oh, Woot!
Surgeon, so may well have been Mr Savage. Also 50% chance he was Adam's maternal grandfather.
I've heard sturgeons can be quit savage
@@SteveHodge "Mr." for surgeons is a Britishism. American surgeons ever since the suppression of barber-surgeons back in the 1800's have been diploma-ed doctors. Given Adam's age and the historical location of Adam's family, it's very likely his grandfather was a "Dr."

To create an interesting future-style prop/character/story it adds so much to learn from history :)
WGBH was also This Old House was it not? I don't think we had that channel in Canada but we had content from it.
Yes. WGBH is one of the major producers of PBS programs.
Does anybody have the links to the articles they mention?
america has antiques road show?
Yup
huge too , it goes for milesssssssssss my friend
War booty is a thing..
A pale imitation of the original I'm afraid. Quaint though.
Adam, just google the Mt. Vernon key. There should be enough visual info there for recreation 👍
Anyone know about the iron giant bust?
Is it a kit? Or custom?
I really like it and would like to know.
Thanks Colin

Two and a half years later and no update on the ivory lady.......
So how does american antiques roadshow work?
It's similar to the British Antiques Road Show
@@WootTootZoot it would be a great way to learn about different areas of the states and the people there
@@CreativeCache101 You can watch episodes at www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/ (hopefully they're not blocked where you live)
Cleveland YEAH!
Squuee! Antiques Roadshow and Adam, awesome mashup!

Nicely different show. Fun!
Adam are you sitting in a captain's chair? 💺
When is Adam going to make a Sonic Screwdriver from Doctor Who.
Chekov's Iron Giant!
the ivory reclining lady is pretty much what Adam said but, A it is Chinese, not Japanese and it was made for the Dutch-French-Italian- and german markets somewhere between 1740 and 1840 (there are earlier versions from Italy)
ladies in 18th century holland weren't supposed to undress so they took these figurines when they went to the doctor this story in ongoing folklore is always incorrectly placed in the orient (china or japan)
now these anatomical figurines dit not always come from china there are also local versions made of wood metal or clay doctors would sometimes have their own version which could be taken apart to show the insides and the inner anatomy these are mostly from the 19th century.
as a decorative item, they were made well into the 1930s in various materials.

also, we have a local version of the antiques roadshow named tussen Kunst and Kitsch (between art and kitsch) and they featured these with the above explanation at least a couple of times since 1984.
value varies greatly with some fetching just pennies and others demanding thousands of dollars.
I smell a sequel coming! ...

I used to work with Hogarth's real life model's mom...
Google the statue. It is, in fact, a thing
I just moved to Sacramento. It's not that nice here.
Adam I dare you to make a replica of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s flag ship the (star destroyer) Chimera
