I have a dated 1857 silver bucket from Tiffany & Co.

This one came from a yard sale.

Just out of curiosity, what where they asking for it?

Rather not say.

It was [inaudible].

That little, huh?

It's amazing what you can find at these yard sales.

There's no attachment to antiques like there

used to be in the past.

It's not uncommon to find something that is something

of very high value that they don't place value on,

but they just want to get rid of it.

I'm assuming it's an ice bucket.

Yeah, that's what I was told.

OK.

It is Tiffany, which is just one of those iconic American,

you know, luxury brands that will be around forever.

I mean, this is the company that makes the Super Bowl trophy.

This is the kind of stuff people got

people back then for weddings.

Obviously they were pretty well to do because they

didn't get them the cheap crap.

They actually got them Tiffany's.

People all over the world know the brand Tiffany.

Nowadays people mostly know them for their jewelry,

but what they've really been known for is stuff like this.

And the fact that this is Tiffany's makes

it very collectible if I can get it for the right price.

So what are you looking to do with it?

Well, I checked with an auction company,

and the quote that I got was $8,000 on the bucket.

That is really rich for my blood, my man.

I mean, we have, what, $600, $700 worth of sterling silver

here, which is a lot.

And because it's Tiffany's, I'd offer you, like, $1,000.

You have to see my side of it.

There's not very many people lining up to pay $1,800,

$2,000 for an ice bucket--

not to say it's not rare, not to say it's not valuable.

Are you willing to come down from that $8,000 at all or--

I would.

I'm thinking around $6,000, yeah.

Buddy, I'd go up to $1,500.

That would be the most I'd pay.

Right.

Yeah, I understand.

So is that a no on your end?

Yeah, I just-- that's just--

Maybe next time you come in we'll be able to make a deal.

[inaudible], OK.

Take care, buddy.

Thanks so much.

I'm not disappointed at all.

I think that the bucket would bring

a lot more at an auction house.
