· ·Melbourne AustraliaJust on the couch tonight after a biggy last night and remote clicking found Antiques Roadshow.
A person had two globes (maps like a basketball) from about 1802.
The estimate, in good condition was 40,000 pounds, they were a bit ratty but still looked very presentable.
As they were, about 8 to 12 thousand pounds with 15 to 20 to restore them.
So if it's OK to restore historical objects like this and accept them as items of great value............
Why are re-dialed watches so frowned upon?
(And by re-dialed, I mean quality work).
Anyway, my Lagavulin addled mind seeks discussion.
