Chapter 241 [Not Simple Teddy Bear]
The bricks are washed in plastic boxes, because the machine stops when the time is up, so no one needs to be watching, and the old expert's main concern is not the Lego bricks, but the teddy bear.
Yang Nianzhong also brought the teddy bear to this empty room, and after opening the box, the old gentleman put the special glasses used for identifying jewelry on his head. The good guy was like a telescope, lying on the box with a small flashlight, and began to identify the teddy bear, nodding and admiring as he watched.
"Baby, priceless, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to see this teddy bear, it's so rare."
Yang Nianzhong listened on the side, as soon as he saw the old expert actually say this, Yang Nianzhong was very happy, I didn't expect this long-haired teddy bear to have such an essence, the more precious he is, the more rare it is, so the more money he makes, isn't it?
The old gentleman lay on the box and didn't get up Yang Nian waited for more than 20 minutes, and he watched endlessly, to be honest, Yang Nian Center was just like that, 15 rabbits were jumping around.
Yang Nianzhong doesn't look young, but his mother is knowledgeable, in terms of antique appraisal, art appraisal can be called a master's ear reading, plus his own profession, these valuable works of art, that is quite interested.
As soon as he saw that the old expert was so excited, Yang Nianzhong committed an occupational disease, coughed awkwardly on the side, and finally woke up the old gentleman, looking at him looking back, Yang Nianzhong laughed in a daze, and then said respectfully.
"Mr. Kenny, no matter how good this teddy bear toy is, it is also a toy from the last century, it has been weathered, I hope your expertise can bring it back to life, and I want to know, how good is this teddy bear?" Does he have any stories? ”
The old expert straightened up and looked at Yang Jianzhong, and said with a smile. "Mr. Yang can get this teddy bear at such a young age, it's really not simple, it's not simple, do you know what the origin of this teddy bear is?"
Isn't this nonsense? Yang Nianzhong saw the label next to the teddy bear's ears and knew that it was a teddy bear produced by the German Stef company, and it should have been produced 21 years ago. But the specific details are still unknown to Yang Nianzhong, because Yang Nianzhong didn't dare to touch the teddy bear when he saw it in the box.
It's almost a hundred-year-old stuffed animal, and you can poke a hole with the slightest touch of your finger, and this teddy bear has a hole in its stomach. Get the plush out inside, then this teddy bear is worthless, and what is the value of a broken plush toy? So I don't dare to touch it, just a superficial observation.
His professional knowledge and these so-called toy repair experts are simply worlds apart, Yang Nianzhong is also very admirable for people who have the ability, and he can do it without shame to ask the master first, so he smiled and said very embarrassed.
"You really stopped me, I only know that he is a teddy bear produced by Stanford Company, which should have been imported to the United States in the 20s of the last century, but I really don't know the specific information, because I dare not touch it."
Unexpectedly, the old man nodded and said with a smile. "You're not touching this teddy bear with your fingers, because he's been in that position since he came out, and you just see what's in front of the tag on the teddy bear's ears, but you don't look at what's behind him, right?"
Aren't you talking nonsense? I didn't even dare touch it, how could I possibly turn the label over and look at it again. Seeing Yang Nianzhong shaking his head, the old gentleman smiled, and while taking off the glasses from his eyes, he rubbed the bridge of his nose and said.
"I haven't seen this teddy bear once in my career, but I know where he came from. You're right, she's from the German company Stefford, and it's supposed to be an authentic teddy bear from before 1921. ”
"But the identity of this teddy bear is definitely not as you think, his exact appearance time should be in December 1918, you until December 1918, this special day?"
Yang Nianzhong was stunned by the question, but he didn't expect Robert on the side to be sure that his master Yang Jianzhong had answered this question, and coughed before saying. "Sir, Mr. Kenny, December 1918 is supposed to be the end of the First World War, and peace has been ushered in, for in November Germany has been defeated and surrendered."
Mr. Kenny nodded and smiled. "Mr. Robert is right, and this teddy bear was produced by the Steford Company in December 1918 to commemorate the end of the World War, but the Teddy Bear Company made a total of 1,918 teddy bears."
Oh so that's the case, the more Yang Nianzhong listened, the more excited he became, but this is not over, the old gentleman said with a smile. "The more than 1,000 bears in front of me are short-haired teddy bears, which were exported to the major participating countries after they were produced by the Steford Company, and of course these are the victorious countries, but the defeated countries are not."
"The most interesting thing is that after 11,918 short-haired teddy bears were produced, the boss of the company felt very uncomfortable, and produced 12 long-haired teddy bears."
"The 12th of them are stored in the Stafford showroom and will never be sold, while three of the first 11 are imported to the United States."
Yang Nianzhong interjected at this time, and said tremblingly pointing to the long-haired teddy bear placed in the box. "Mr. Kenny, that includes this one of the 12 long-haired teddy bears you mentioned."
Unexpectedly, the old expert actually nodded, Yang Nianzhong was so happy that he almost didn't jump up from the ground, oops, this teddy bear is so rare, a few years ago, the Titanic was commemorated, and the 600 teddy bears were issued, and the issue price was only a few marks, but a few years ago, it was auctioned to more than 100,000 pounds.
Why is it so expensive? One is that this teddy bear has commemorative value, and this teddy bear is a limited edition, and the long-haired teddy bear in Yang Nianzhong's hand, his background is even more noble, only one in the world remained in the manufacturer on the 12th, and the other 11 were scattered all over the world.
And what are these teddy bears for? It's for children to play with, and it's a ragdoll toy, even if the materials used are exquisite, he is also a natural substance, he is not steel. But wool cotton he has his own period of decay, long-term exposure to the air, a woolen sweater, can he keep it for 100 years without spoiling? Even those mites can't stand it.
So these 11 teddy bears must not have survived, and there is exactly one in their hands, what is this concept? It's not a matter of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it seems that 1.8 million can't be taken out.
Isn't this what is getting rich? How can a long-haired teddy bear reach such a terrifying price, more expensive than how many real bears are, these people in the collecting world really can't understand it.
