Series 7: 5. Mother Teresa Letters, Crystal Ball, White Star Chest

First through the door today is mystical Claire. The oddity of her quirky crystal ball augurs well, but is it desirable enough to help her find a fortune?\n\nNext up facing the dealers are Sally and Linda from Durham, with a range of medical posters their dad rescued from a skip. Condition will be key, so what will valuation expert Simon Bower’s diagnosis be?\n\nThird to try to make a sale is wheeler dealer Greg, with a chest he believes came from a historic White Star ocean liner. Objects associated with the Titanic and its sister ships are always of interest, but they need perfect provenance if they’re going to make a tidy profit.\n\nUnlike Greg, Samantha can guarantee her offering is authentic: a letter sent to her by Mother Teresa after they met at an awards ceremony. It’s the type of lot Simon usually advises should be put into a specialist auction, but will any of the dealers be tempted to make her an offer?\n\nAnd last but not least, in what initially sounds like a follow-up to one of Dickens’s finest works, it’s a tale of two Nigels in the valuation room. There’s a French travelling salesman’s case up for grabs, but it’s something of a mystery item, as nobody is quite sure what it would have displayed.
