BBC Antiques Road Trip expert 'flabbergasted' after item makes unexpected profit Antiques Road Trip's Mark Stacey experienced a rollercoaster of emotions when an unexpected find led to a significant profit.
"The box used to contain a deck watch used for naval navigation, the number on the box's lid uniquely identifies it and ties it to these records held in the Royal Observatory Greenwich," Antiques Road Trip fans were informed.
In a clip from the show, Mark is seen in an antique shop where he spots the item and tells viewers: "Now, I've seen this little box here, it's got Ollivant and Botsford on top of it.".
"Whatever was in there, issued by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, 19 September 1917," Mark read from the label inside the box.
In a 2017 episode of the popular BBC show, Mark discovered an intriguing case he hoped would hold a valuable piece of jewellery.
