Anyone watch the Antiques Road Show tonight (15/07/12). The two static glass cased paddler models were of interest, both Thames tugs.
1) - Monarch valued at £800 to £1,000.
2) - Anglia, valued at £ 2,000 to £3,000.

I also watch the program. I think the estimate of their value was based on the provenance they had with other events and paintings.
They also had some age which also helps when estimating value. Very interesting never less am now wondering what my collection of boats is worth.  Anyone got ten bob to spare.
