Many items that come up for sale eventually sell for massively increased sums – far over and above any expectation. Why? We offer some answers in this program: via an Electroplated Tea Pot, some medals, taxidermy, and some lighting.

To commemorate the start of another century of Antiques Radio Show programs (in cricket terms), we resume the “innings” at 101 “not out”!

In this broadcast #101, we have a very informative discussion with our Station’s Patron who is also best equipped to tell us about Government House, its fabric and its functions. We also touch on the issue of cultural activities and how important they can be in our life. Who are they? Listen in to this special episode of Antiques Radio Show to find out!

This broadcast is all about books - but less for the book collector or bibliophile than for those wanting information about the objects and circumstances covered (or between the covers). We explore aspects of ceramics, jewellery, paintings, historical discoveries, misprints, trees and handwriting.

Our 100th broadcast of Antiques Radio Show! Why do we attach importance to that number – why do we value it so much? We offer suggestions. But more importantly, we cast some light on why we value antiques and works of art via some skeletal remains, sporting equipment, mode of transport and furniture.

Largely about paintings but telling a much bigger story – in relation to AI (not fertility clinic, but IT studio) and also provenance issues and spiced with an amazing saga. Where does music fit in ? Who goes to see what, and where? A rare medal is found.

A “priceless” watch that actually has a price (mostly attributable to its provenance). The Easter egg hunt – the ones that weren’t actually found. First Eleven flashers (outside the off stump), fielders and fast bowlers. And more!

We present some broad issues and some very focussed ones. What is abroad with sex in art ? We peep from behind the curtains. What should our attitude be to human remains ? And what might turn up at a valuation day. We focus on some very specific marbles and someone’s shirt collar (minus shirt). Why are they important ?

A “letter to the editor” raises some interesting issues of Jug ownership. Comparative memorabilia values of US baseball and Australian cricket caps etc. What price “the baggy green” cap? When were they introduced? One way of finding out. Australian money in New York, Australian double decker green bus in UK, sleuthing from a distance (across the globe) and a book about to be published.
