Resident antiques expert, Anita Manning, stopped by The Hour to have a look at some more interesting items.
First up, Anita showed off her own latest find, two brightly coloured Poole Pottery plates, which she says are in very in demand at the moment.
“Poole Pottery started in the late 19th century, it's still going strong and it’s testament to the fact that they have survived through all the downturns and the depressions,” she said.
“They had wonderful designers and they looked at what was happening and they reflected the fashion of the time.”
Anita says these sorts of pieces can be picked up, priced from around £20 upwards.
Next up was an interesting item, brought in by viewer Allan McIlwraith.
Allan collects military badges and a friend had given him the badge as a present, believing it to be a military item, perhaps linked to a Scottish regiment.
However, Anita identified the item as an Alexander and Euphmia Ritchie Brooch, and explained a little more about it.
She said: “Alexander and Euphmia Ritchie belonged to the Arts and Crafts Movement in Scotland.
“That was a movement which got fed up with the mechanised and mass produced items of the Victorian age and they got back to a time when craftsmanship and design mattered, and Alexander Ritchie and his wife went to Iona and made these wonderful things. And they’re greatly sought after.”
Anita reckons the brooch could be worth around £100-150.
The antiques expert then took at look at a photograph of a doll sent in by viewer, William Kellie for Irvine, who wanted to know if his doll was German.
Anita confirms it was made by Simon & Halbig of Germany, a company which made fine dolls, and estimates William’s doll is worth around £300.
The Final item Anita looked at, was a Belleek Basket, made of high quality Irish porcelain, which was given to viewer Jennifer Stewart when she was only 12-years-old.
Made between 1865 and 1889, the item is worth around £400-£600.
