Episode 2 of 25

Margie and Ochuko visit Staffordshire via the Trent and Mersey Canal. Railwayana puts one expert on track for profits, while the other hopes a birdcage will fly at auction.

Stoke-on-Trent welcomes Margie Cooper and Ochuko Ojiri as they compete to find antiques they can flip for a profit at auction. With their classic car headed further into Staffordshire, these pals put friendship to one side as they race to find the winning collectible.

A huge brass luggage rack from a railway carriage catches Margie’s eye. Convinced it’s just as usable in a home today as it was on a train 100 years ago, she expects big bids come auction day. Margie is also charmed by an Edwardian spaniel that forces her to part with £30.

Ochuko goes for a trip on the canals to learn about the man who built them and changed the economic landscape of the area. Hoping for financial good fortune at auction, Ochuko buys antique dumb-bells and an enamel sign. However, a little French birdcage might be the buy that really flies in the saleroom.
