Well done. 525 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,359 And he's got a shop down here. 526 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,759 Does fully restored industrial pendant lights, 527 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,879 wall lights, bulkheads, 528 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,959 table lights, articulated lights, the lot. 529 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,639 As you know, I've got a bit of a history with these. 530 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,559 I very rarely buy them now. 531 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,319 - Yeah. - Very rarely buy them, 532 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,999 but I will occasionally buy them if they are very rare variants 533 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,879 or in exceptional condition. 534 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,999 Okay. And you've been doing it for how long now? 25 years? 535 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,839 30 odd years. Yeah.30 odd years. 536 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,399 Digging around for knackered old lights from factories. I mean, really. 537 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,359 Still doing it. 538 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:55,199 Still doing exactly the same thing. 539 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,160 Nothing. Nothing has changed. 540 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,279 The Nottinghamshire town of Arnold was the birthplace 541 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,079 of visionary 19th-century engineer Thomas Hawksley, 542 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,879 who created the UK's first permanent pressurised town water system, 543 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,919 supplying thousands of local homes and factories. 544 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,279 These days, on a smaller scale but no less passionate, 545 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,079 Arnold's innovators include specialised collector 546 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,800 and restorer of 20th-century lighting, Grant Wilson. 547 00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:30,679 The first lights I bought were a Holophane factory light, 548 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,119 and I was just sort of blown away by the materials. 549 00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:38,239 They had, like, really cool brass wingnuts on them, and they had the Holophane glass. 550 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,959 It was just so pretty, and that got me hooked, really. 551 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,520 So I just started looking and looking and just picking up more bits. 552 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,559 We tend to specialise in industrial lighting 553 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,919 or lighting that's come from industrial settings 554 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,799 or public buildings like railway stations, 555 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,559 lights that you wouldn't normally see in a home setting. 556 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,839 They'd normally be in a chemical mixing plant 557 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,759 or something like a military sort of area. 558 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,519 And also clocks. 559 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,039 The thing I like about them is the materials they're made from and how well they are made. 560 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,279 They're just so robust and just... 561 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,560 the design features of them are so cool. 562 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,559 Hi, Viki. Grant. - Hi, Grant. - Drew. How are you, Grant? 563 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,239 How are you? All right, thank you. All right, all right. 564 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,599 So come to have a look at what you're doing. 565 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,559 Lighting and clocks, basically. Yeah. Um, yeah. 566 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,919 Anything industrial and anything that's a bit unique and... 567 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,959 All right. And you're doing the rebuild yourself, are you? 568 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,439 I try and do everything in-house if possible, yeah. 569 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,879 So I've got a sandblast cabinet and polishing machine downstairs 570 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,879 and yeah, I try and do all the restoration. 571 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,319 Industrial lighting. It's something I immediately fell in love with. 572 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,039 Now, over 30 years ago, 573 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,519 that was the first light I bought. I remember it was £15 574 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,799 and it was a green industrial ceiling light. I think it was a Revo. 575 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,559 And I cleaned it with some washing up liquid and a rag 576 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,279 and I sold it and I made 25 quid and I thought, 577 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,319 "This is great, and I love these items." 578 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,679 And there was thousands of them out there 579 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,479 and hardly anybody wanted them. 580 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,359 But if you knew where to sell them, you were gonna make money. 581 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,999 I'd be interested in seeing the Anglepoise on the far right. Yeah, sure. 582 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,839 Also, you've got a very, this very basic one with the white shade there. 583 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,639 The holograph. Wouldn't mind having a look at that as well. 584 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,319 We walk in, meet Grant and straightaway, 585 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,039 top right hand corner, there's a three-step Anglepoise, completely unrestored. 586 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,599 I'm thinking I definitely want that. 587 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,159 And when I talk about three-step, the square base that they're on 588 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,919 has one, two, three steps to it, right? 589 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,839 That was the very early models. 590 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,799 And then it changed to a two-step. 591 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,559 That design remained sort of largely unchanged 592 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,079 through the next 80 years. 593 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,559 But I think the purity of design of that three-step, 594 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,199 I think, just make them the most desirable. 595 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,119 And they can be mightily expensive for really good ones. 596 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,599 So Grant, so if you've got a three-step and a two-step, what's the date? 597 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,919 Yeah, the three-step ones are tricky. I think... 598 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,559 I think basically around '38, I think. 599 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,439 But the guy, Carwardine, who invented them, 600 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,839 this section here, see this bit here. That bit there. 601 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,839 He was working on a suspension system for vehicles. 602 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,679 - Oh, really? - That's all it was. Then he came up with this. 603 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,239 And the whole thing, as everybody knows, 604 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,440 is based on your arm. 605 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,519 It's just your arm and your hand. That's all it is. That's your hand. 606 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,359 There's your forearm. There's your... 607 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,679 And when they're fully working properly, they're just so easy just to move. 608 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,359 And they just hold the position. Anglepoises, 609 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,399 they are an engineering tour de force, 610 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,439 but their mindset is purely, absolutely, squarely 611 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,959 in that brief explosion of English modernism 612 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,199 around the late '20s, early '30s. 613 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,719 And it's a wonderful period that's never really been shouted up enough as far as... 614 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,479 It needs to be celebrated more. 615 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,200 We created incredible things and companies and factories and... 616 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,639 fabulous items that have stood the test of time. 617 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,639 And the greatest of all of those things, 618 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,759 all of that period, all of that stuff that came out 619 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,599 is the Anglepoise desk lamp. 620 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,759 Mind blowing. Genius design. 621 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,479 That's on a two-step base, but it's another... Another early one. 622 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,319 So this is a changeover. Yeah. 623 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,519 So you will get these as well. 624 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,559 So is that - so is this... 625 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,239 Sorry, this is... Honestly, this is like a massive... 626 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,919 ...learning curve for me. So that's got the early fork. 627 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,199 And the paint changed as well. So if you look at the paint 628 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,479 really close up, it's got that crinkle effect to it. 629 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,279 On the bottom of that green base. 630 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,679 - It's called Japanning. - Yeah. Yeah, "black Japanning" they'd call it. 631 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,479 Oh so that's not, that crinkle hasn't happened because of age? 632 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,199 No, it's factory. - That was the finish. - Factory, see it there, it's like skin. 633 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,919 This conversation that we've been having about these lamps 634 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,839 has gone on way longer and into way more depth 635 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,159 than I could ever have imagined. 636 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,199 But I don't care, because I'm hanging about 637 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,159 with two guys who are experts in their field, 638 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,919 and that's what I want to do. They're having fun, I'm listening in. 639 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,239 We're surrounded by really cool, unusual, rare items. 640 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,159 What more can you ask for? 641 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,679 These clamp lights, I really like them. - Yes. - I think they're fab. 642 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,599 This type of lamp, I've always loved them. 643 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,759 I just think they were super cool. There's something about the shade. They're just... 644 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,999 Very, very... It's... We're looking at - 645 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,359 They've clearly seen what the Bauhaus were doing 646 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,119 and gone, "We'll have some of that, thank you very much." 647 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,959 The next piece I see is a clamp light by Walligraph. 648 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,319 This lamp was made in the '30s, as you can see, 649 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,399 stylistically pure '30s again. 650 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,159 Modernist, right. 651 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,319 But it has that slash cut shade, which just makes it. 652 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,479 And I think they're actually the best-looking of their design era. 653 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,400 I think they just nail it. They are pure. 654 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,919 The Walligraph brand was manufactured in Britain 655 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,679 in the early 20th century, 656 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,839 and this Zonalite model was built to clamp onto a workbench. 657 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,039 Its enamelled steel shade still has its 1930s factory paint, 658 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,959 and the original mechanism is completely intact. 659 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,159 Its particularly unspoilt condition means it's another rare find, 660 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,639 and Drew believes it could be worth around £345. 661 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,919 What would you take for the pair? 662 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,839 425. 663 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,679 Really? God Almighty. Yeah. 664 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,359 So how much is that one? Just on its own. 665 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,080 It's got to be 300. 666 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,160 I've got to ask. I've got to ask. 400? 667 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,999 At a Nottinghamshire lighting specialist, 668 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,400 Drew's found not one but two rare 1930s industrial design icons. 669 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,200 A Walligraph clamp lamp and a three-step Anglepoise. 670 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,479 What would you take for the pair? 671 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,439 425. 672 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,920 Really? - God Almighty. - Yeah. 673 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,000 I've got to ask. I've got to ask. 400? 674 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,679 Okay. - Yeah? - Yeah. 675 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,520 Thank you very much. There you go. 676 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,279 Now, his price for the three-step Anglepoise, 677 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,559 that's a good price. Got to be honest. That is a good price. 678 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,639 But then the price for the Walligraph 679 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,719 is the most expensive one I've ever bought. 680 00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:42,359 So swings and roundabouts. 681 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,079 We do a deal, in the end, of 400 quid. 682 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,479 That's fine. That's okay. 683 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,919 Because the three-step, I bought that well. 684 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,920 I bought that really well. 685 00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:02,520 There's the bowl in the window, if you open that latch there that you'll be able to see as well. 686 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,559 That's quite a pretty thing. 687 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,999 So you've made this up, yeah? 688 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,879 Yeah. Literally the bowl came separate to the top. 689 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,759 It really works. It really works. 690 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,159 The ring came separate, but it just all ties together really nicely. 691 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,839 What would you ask for something like that? 692 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,559 That's on the website at 1,450. 693 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,439 Um, 694 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,040 it'd probably have to be... 695 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,359 realistically about 800, really. Trade on that. 696 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,399 That's a very good trade discount. Yeah. 697 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,639 It is. It's ready to go. 698 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,319 I think that's one of the nicest ones I've seen made up from parts. 699 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,559 But there's nothing wrong with making them parts - I don't think so. 700 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,719 No, I think you're dead right. You're saving original parts. 701 00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:49,479 - Yeah. - And why not? 702 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,639 I think it just looks right - to me anyway. - Yeah, it's nice. 703 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,439 I'd have that in my house. Yeah, definitely. 704 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,319 The reuse of any antique can be problematic 705 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,119 because it can look quite naff, 706 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,399 or you can do quite a lot of damage to it by repurposing incorrectly. 707 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,079 But with lighting, it's, you know, it's Lego. 708 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,119 Bolt it together. You can always undo it. 709 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,719 And if you can use any of these materials in any way, shape or form, 710 00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:15,519 you're saving it from landfill 711 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,839 and you're saving another one having to be made. 712 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,439 And it looks a lot more interesting than anything else. 713 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,599 Have you seen these Land Rover, army Land Rover lights? 714 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,800 I thought they'd make the coolest picture lights. They're cool. 715 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,600 Oh, great switch. - Yeah. - Listen to that. 716 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,279 There's a couple of variants, but that one with the shade, I think looks the best. 717 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,519 Right, wait a minute. So these were on Land Rovers? 718 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,160 Yeah, these were in the back of the army Land Rovers. 719 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,279 Cool, aren't they? I'm gonna have to say that they're really cool. 720 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,919 Aren't they? Super cool. How much do you retail them for? 721 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,999 I haven't yet because I haven't done one, 722 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,919 but I would guess, I would guess around the 225 mark. 723 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,159 I think if you did that, renovated, for that money, I think you... 724 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,760 I think they're great buys. 725 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,519 Grant is one of those guys you do want to keep in contact with 726 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,239 because he has two things. 727 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,199 Number one, he has a great skill base 728 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,519 and can do a lot of the work for you. 729 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,599 And the one that you really need is passion, 730 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,279 and he has that for the subject. You can't buy that. 731 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,199 Like I said, I was so fortunate 732 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,039 to get in at the beginning of all this happening, 733 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,439 and it was really exciting. And it still is now. 734 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,839 It still is now because there's lots and lots of different variations. 735 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,959 That means you're always going to find something you've never seen. 736 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,599 And that's exciting and that's interesting. 737 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,160 Well, it is to nerds like me. I love that sort of thing. So I'll look at this stuff all day. 738 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,879 Cool. So did you enjoy that? Little trip down memory lane for me. 739 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,919 Yes, obviously, you know, 740 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,639 there's a lot of bits of information 741 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,959 that I picked up about the Anglepoise. 742 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,999 I didn't quite realise they were as geeky as they are. 743 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,359 Oh, man, it gets, it can get even geekier. 744 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,999 What, it can get geekier than that? It can a bit. Yeah. 745 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,479 Actually, for short periods of time, 746 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,279 got quite swept up in the pair of your's passion. 747 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,999 And then it sort of... - - Waned. - Yeah. - Yeah, it'll do that. 748 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,199 And then it got up a wee bit and then it went down again. I know. 749 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:27,119 And then the minute he said "lamps" and "Land Rover" in the same sentence... 750 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,480 That was it, just white noise then. ...I thought I'm done for. 751 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,279 A few days later, Drew's extraordinary purchase 752 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,199 from Industrial Glow has arrived in the Dorset workshop 753 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,919 of specialist lighting restorer Jez Speed. 754 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,679 This is a great find by Drew, actually, it really is. 755 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,039 I mean, I've probably restored into the, 756 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,999 well into the hundreds of Anglepoises, 757 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,719 but I think, from memory, 758 00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:57,639 I've done four in 25 years of the three-step ones. 759 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,720 I'm continually looking for them, but I just never see them. 760 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,319 The first step is to carefully dismantle 761 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,560 the century-old lamp into its components. 762 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,399 You can really start to see how beautiful it once was. 763 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,520 This is a reminder of the old chrome on the inside there. 764 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,599 This is a Barco scraper, basically, 765 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,640 tungsten carbide, little tungsten blades on it. 766 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,799 It can be really quite aggressive if you if you're not careful. 767 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,240 I just want to just skim it across the surface to remove the loose rust. 768 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,520 A little bit of paraffin in the tub. 769 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,039 I'm using a very fine wire wool. 770 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,080 I'm going to use the paraffin just to get the grime off the old chrome. 771 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,239 People see the peeling chrome and the decay on something as a negative a lot of the time. 772 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:58,760 Over the years, I've learned to just appreciate the decay. 773 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,159 I like the fact that it's been on a journey somewhere. 774 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,959 We don't know where, who's had it, where it's been, but it's had its own journey. 775 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,999 And this is how it looks like. 776 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,279 I like its honesty and its integrity. 777 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,479 I mean, this particular thing is really, like, 778 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,919 the first generation of them, and they're just getting rarer and rarer and rarer 779 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,600 as the months roll on. 780 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,919 You can see there the crackle paint here. 781 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,920 It looks like a fingerprint. Really, really lovely. 782 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,199 Each cleaned component is then buffed 783 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,159 with a petroleum-derived wax known as microcrystalline, 784 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,519 commonly used in museums for conservation. 785 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,200 It will protect the metal surface from moisture and reduce corrosion. 786 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,040 I'll just put the arms on. 787 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,879 Lamp's wax-cleaned. Nice. Engineered, works nicely. 788 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,399 I need to put some wire through it, 789 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,279 so I've got to go and get the box of - 790 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,279 I've got a bulb holder for this somewhere. So I'm going to go and get one. 791 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,559 Box of light parts. 792 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,119 And I want a black, to have a black or a brown Crabtree. 793 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,559 I think I'm going to go black with a black shade. 794 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,479 This was what would have been fitted on it from new. 795 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,119 So I think it's very appropriate that we fit them again, 796 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,919 because just as far as I'm concerned, 797 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,560 it doesn't look right unless it's got an old Crabtree fitting on it. 798 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,919 With the bulb holder fitted 799 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,239 and a new plug wired in 800 00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:28,999 using period-correct braided cable, 801 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,240 the lamp is once again in 1930s working order. 802 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,239 But it hasn't lost the character gained over nearly a century. 803 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,559 I absolutely love that, I think. 804 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,959 That is exactly as I would like to see on my desk. 805 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,839 That is a thing of beauty. 806 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,079 I've done very little to it, actually, 807 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,639 other than gentle conservation. 808 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,159 Someone's going to be very, very happy to have this, 809 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:58,639 you know, real, real iconic, original lamp on their on their desk. 810 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,719 I'd be made up with it, I really would. 811 00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:04,839 I wouldn't be selling it. I'd be keeping it if I was Drew. I really would. 812 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,120 It's great. You just never see them. You never see them. 813 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,319 It's an appropriately bright finish 814 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,039 to a week of delving into Britain's industrial design past. 815 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,919 Cracking week this week. Very different. Lots of good tradeable stuff. 816 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,399 I think the financial buy of the week, to be honest, was the shoe racks. 817 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,119 I sold all mine before I left the building. 818 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,239 They've all gone, traded the whole lot out. Yeah, gone. Sold. 819 00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,879 One of the most interesting things I've bought in a while 820 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:36,079 is the little model railway tunnel walking bridge I got from Odeon Antiques. 821 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,799 Ruth said, "You have to sell it. It's on the books." 822 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,519 So I put it on the website and I put an enormous price that nobody's going to pay 823 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,799 because I don't really want to sell it. It's in my house and I love it. 824 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,880 Subtitles by Deluxe 71723
