GUEST: Well, my aunt, when she
passed, left a few things, and
each of her nieces and nephews

were allowed to select some
things. I loved them because
they, they're mechanical, and

you wind them up, and then
different things happen in each
one of them, so, that was why

I have always been fascinated
by them and just wanted
to know a little bit more.

APPRAISER: They are made by
Henry Dankner & Sons. They
were a family that had escaped

 

Nazi Hungary.

GUEST: Oh, wow.

APPRAISER: Re-established in
the New York jewelry market in
the 1950s, and filed a patent

 

for these in 1965.
Which is your favorite?

GUEST: You know, I kind of
loved the heart, which goes
up and down when you wind it.

APPRAISER: Can you
show me how it works?

 

GUEST: And then... Sure.

APPRAISER: Wow.

GUEST: And this one, I think,
has the most motion in it
with the, with the horses.

APPRAISER: It's a great
collection that's enough
to make an instant
bracelet for somebody.

GUEST: (laughs)

APPRAISER: And if they
were coming to auction,
I believe they would
do an auction estimate

of $4,000 to $8,000.

GUEST: Oh, my goodness,
wow. Wow, thanks, Aunt
Alice. That's great.
