Losing Your Marbles in Beverley

This episode is driven by listener emails, taking Alexander and Jon on a ramble through the issues of 'antiques flight' - English and French antiques leaving our shores by the shipload and ending up in America - through to the allure of handmade marbles. Along the way there's a return of the ATG Pun Down and in 'Did They Get It Wrong', Jon airs his opinion on toy dealers and collectors. Spoiler - it's not glowing!

No Corners in a Lighthouse

In Episode 16, Jon and Alexander talk about corner cupboards, why furniture is always at the end of an auction (well, mostly) and why timed auctions are like Marmite. They also discuss the ongoing antics of Sexy John Rolfe, see the welcome return of 'Did They Get it Wrong' and introduce a new Antiques Trade Gazette featurette. All this and also having time to talk about yet another Titanic watch.

English Whisky and Careers Advice

This is getting to be something of a habit. A run of regular shows and then a big gap. "Okay, we know, and we're sorry, but we really do have a good excuse this time". So apart from Alexander's explanation for the haitus, the two antique podsters get stuck into answering a question posed by a lovely listener which is . . . how does someone get a career in the antiques world? And while answering this head scratcher, Jonny gives his honest opinion about the state of the industry (no spoilers, but it isn't great) and Alexander does his best to use the word 'bankable' as many times as possible within an hour. All of this while enjoying a snifter of a single malt whisky from, of all places, Cheshire. Don't forget to like, subscribe, rate and review the show on your podcast dispenser of choice.

The Christmas Special

Merry Christmas! In this episode the boys have a 'most wonderful time' toasting the festive season with a nice beverage which, naturally enough, has a story to it. They discuss the extraordinary result of a Christmas movie prop selling at auction, and the relative merits of yuletide motion pictures. Is there actually a good one? A seasonal 'Did They Get It Wrong' extended version, in which Alexander tries hopelessly to justify the tenuous links in the objects chosen to Christmas and John shares his opinion on cigars (spoiler - he doesn't like them much). The Antiques Trade Gazette gets a massive amount of product placement (still no endorsement) in a special ATG Pun-Down. And we also find out which sexy man has emptied his sack in a special Christmas auction. Who could it be? All this and more antiques-X-xmas banter between your hosts as they fail to moderate their drinking. Have a Cool Yule, everyone.

The Million Dollar Watch Restoration

Episode 13 of Antiques Anonymous finds Jon and Alexander talking all about provenance. That thing all auctioneers and valuers love, and can make even a modest antique worth millions. Along the way, Alexander fails to remember the naughty bits in James Cameron's Titanic movie, the boys discuss what on Earth goes on in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and yet another sampler makes piles of cash in 'Did They Get It Wrong'. All this and more, plus a little tease for the next episode - the AA Christmas Special. You can't wait, can you?
