APPRAISER: So you're sitting home watching the ROADSHOW?

GUEST: Sitting home watching the ROADSHOW, and all of a sudden I see this box, I believe it was your Las Vegas episode.

APPRAISER: Right.

GUEST: And it was in a style... stylized with a woman on the front. It was carved, and I heard the name "S. Bing." And I jumped up and I screamed, and I ran to the mantel, I pulled the clock off, and on the back of course is "S. Bing," who is basically the founder of the Art Nouveau movement as we know it.

APPRAISER: Your clock actually is almost identical to this one.

GUEST: It's almost identical, right.

APPRAISER: And it's by Alfred-Louis Daguet, who made these metalwork boxes. And it was retailed by Samuel Bing, as you said, and this is very nice too, because it actually says Daguet on the back here, and it's dated 1902. It didn't have any movement when you bought it?

GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: So you had this wonderful...

GUEST: So I took it to a local antique clock dealer, and he said, "Well, there's really nothing we can do." And so we put this piece in just to make it look like it's really working.

APPRAISER: Which is okay, because then it makes it functional. Most of these pieces are these small boxes, and don't have these kinds of jewels in it. I would think this one in this condition is probably in the $3,000 to $5,000 range.

GUEST: You're kidding me!

APPRAISER: Right, right.

GUEST: I thought, well, I spent $200 on it and I thought, well, you know, at least it's pretty. I can look at it.
