S05E13 Vintage Bottle Stopper
The team tackles a vintage pedal scooter, a cherished item steeped in history, along with an engraved powder compact that boasts a theatrical legacy, and a quirky vintage bottle stopper that has captivated owner Martin Day since childhood with its cheerful face and red nose. Brian Adams seeks the expertise of bike restorer Tim Gunn to breathe new life into the rusty scooter he inherited from his father. Meanwhile, silversmith Brenton West faces the challenge of reviving an original engraved powder compact, once given to owner Dee Rance's aunt Lucy, a performer, by the famous comedy mogul Fred Karno. The delicate compact, however, is in rough shape, with dents and a cracked mirror. Brenton is determined to restore this tarnished piece and bring back its former glory.
