APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
GUEST: And I found it in an antique junk shop and collectibles.
And, uh, I had to have it.
Just couldn't resist.
APPRAISER: And what did you pay for it?
GUEST: It was around $200.
APPRAISER: $200.
GUEST: Which was a lot of money for me 25 years ago.
But I thought to myself, it's really a unique object.
I had never seen anything like it.
APPRAISER: Well, nothing is unique in our business, but...
GUEST: (chuckling) Unusual.
APPRAISER: Sometimes you see something you've never seen before.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: And I must say, I've never seen this before.
It's generically a-a pull toy.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: Cast-iron wheels, and probably made in Germany.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: Probably made around 1895 to 1910.
Most pull toys you see from Germany are, like, horses.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: They're about this big, little wooden platforms.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: Sometimes a lamb; lambs are very popular.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: Goats are very, very popular.
You seldom see pigs, and you seldom see platform toys this big.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: So, I mean, this is really exciting.
Plus, you seldom find them so cute and so animated.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: So, push him over here.
And listen to him, and you see his mouth go.
I mean, this guy is really a little charmer.
Glass eyes, painted papier-mâché snout and teeth.
It's got this incredible action and just absolute charm.
My hunch is at auction this could easily bring $2,000 to $2,500.
GUEST: Perfect.
(laughs) APPRAISER: So...
I mean, I think he's just a winner.
Thanks for bringing him in.
GUEST: Oh, thank you.
I really appreciate it.
