<\/p>\nAn Antiques Roadshow guest was left in tears after she discovered the huge value of her childhood teddy bear, that been kept for years in a carrier bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sunday’s Christmas special featured only toys as members of the public and experts shared their favourite play things from the past.<\/p>\n
And one lady brought in a bear which turned out to be incredibly rare and made by Steiff, now known for making teddy’s for luxury brand Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n
Revealing how she came to own the item the lady explained: ‘It belonged to my great aunt and when she passed away it went to my mum and now I’m the custodian of it at the moment.’<\/p>\n
The furry bear also housed a water battle and left expert\u00a0Bunny Campione almost speechless when she clapped eyes on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saying: Well, I must admit, I hope I didn’t give too much of a shock when I saw you coming to my table. I think I screamed didn’t I?’<\/span><\/p>\n An excitable Bunny then went on to praise the item before eventually giving her jaw-dropping valuation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘So, we are talking about a Steiff teddy bear, circa 1904, incredibly rare colour, a rare size because most of them were smaller than this, and a value wise, \u00a315,000’.<\/p>\n Totally in shock and awe the guest asked ‘What 15?’ before admitting: ‘It\u2019s just been put in a bag in the wardrobe’.<\/span><\/p>\n It comes after another guest was previously shocked when she\u00a0discovered the value of an old broken watch her father picked up at an army surplus store for just \u00a320.\u00a0<\/p>\n One episode saw members of the public bringing their worldly good to Powis Castle in Wales, with one woman eager to learn more about the timepiece from expert Richard Price – who branded it the ‘rarest of items’\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n The lady explained how she believed it to be a World War II pilot’s watch and was relieved to discover she had been right.\u00a0<\/p>\n Richard explained the item had fact been used by Luftwaffe, the German Air Force, and would have had a large leather strap – which was now missing.<\/p>\n An excitable Bunny then went on to praise the item before eventually giving her jaw-dropping valuation of \u00a315,000<\/p>\n Totally in shock and awe the guest asked ‘What 15?’ before admitting: ‘ It\u2019s just been put in a bag in the wardrobe’<\/p>\n Going on to say that if it were a made by A. Lange & S\u00f6hne, a German company which provided time pieces to the Nazis, it would increase the price significantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n He then opened the watch and said: ‘Joy of joy it’s\u00a0A. Lange & S\u00f6hne the one [all collectors] want’.<\/p>\n Richard then concluded the item was from 1941 and said the reason it was so rare and in such high demand was that the company’s factory was bombed in 1945.\u00a0<\/p>\n The lady, flabbergasted by the news, said how her father picked it up in Weymouth for \u00a320 in the early 1970s and that he loved ‘poking about’ in old shops.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before asking: ‘Was it a good buy?’.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Pretty good buy’ Richard exclaimed, ‘I think i would be very happy if I had paid \u00a320’.\u00a0<\/p>\n He again referred it was the ‘rarest of items’ that ‘all collectors want’ before revealing it to be worth between \u00a38,000 and \u00a310,000.<\/p>\n In total shock the lady joked: ‘I might not take it home to [my father].<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/17\/21\/79062857-12874547-An_excitable_Bunny_then_went_on_to_praise_the_item_before_eventu-m-61_1702847910542.jpg\")
