APPRAISER: Hi, Rachel.

GUEST: Hi.

APPRAISER: You've brought in some very interesting items today.

Items owned by the silent screen star Clara Bow.

GUEST: Uh-huh.

APPRAISER: An original flapper girl.

How did you get these items?

GUEST: Well, I went to a garage sale with my granddaughter, okay?

And we bought a whole box of jewelry and some other stuff.

APPRAISER: Uh-huh.

GUEST: And, um, I paid... APPRAISER: Approximately when did you do that?

GUEST: About two, three months ago.

APPRAISER: Okay, and what did you pay?

GUEST: $26 for the whole box of stuff.

APPRAISER: That's not everything that we're seeing here, right?

APPRAISER: No, no, there was a lot of other stuff in there.

We're only just seeing the things that you decided to bring in.

GUEST: We did, yeah, uh-huh.

APPRAISER: Okay, well, let's kind of cover what you've got here.

First of all, you've got a Cartier Ermeto purse watch.

GUEST: Uh-huh.

APPRAISER: All handmade in Art Deco style, in enamel.

It opens and closes, and on the back, it's got Clara Bow's... GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER:...name on it.

Uh-huh.

Down at the bottom, it's very hard to see... GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER:...but you've got the original Cartier registration numbers.

GUEST: Uh-huh.

APPRAISER: It's a really excellent piece.

You also have an anklet... GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER:...that was given to Clara Bow by a lover of hers, Warren Burke, okay?

GUEST: Yeah, right.

APPRAISER: So, it's Clara Bow, initials on the cover.

GUEST: On the cover, and Burke on... APPRAISER: And Warren Burke on the back.

GUEST: Uh-huh-- I got the watch, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

I thought maybe it was broken or something, okay?

And I saw the little note in there and I pulled it out.

(laughing): And I couldn't believe that little note was in that little watch, stuck inside it there.

APPRAISER: Let, let, let's see how you, you pulled it out.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: You went to the back.

GUEST: Yeah, back there, and it was... APPRAISER: And inside of this.

GUEST: This right there.

This little note was crumbled up into the watch.

APPRAISER: So we just started, you and I, to... GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: to read this note... GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: because it's very small and hard to read.

GUEST: Mm-hmm, right.

APPRAISER: Okay, it says... GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER:“£Daniel Freeman to Clara Bow on her 22nd birthday, 29th of July, 1928.

And I take it as a souvenir from her on February 10, 1929.

They said it was gone and it was in the bureau.

On the 13th of February, I left 512 Bedford Drive, my little dream girl's home.

God likes her.

She is a girl to feel loving for, and she broke my heart, the little darling."

(laughs) So we just discovered... GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: ...just now that he stole these items... GUEST: Stole those, yeah.

APPRAISER: ..from Clara Bow.

From Clara Bow.

Well, I think its historical and movie value is substantial.

Uh-huh.

The watch is wonderful.

Uh-huh.

The note's fantastic.

I would say in the neighborhood of $3,000 to $4,000 for the whole series.

GUEST: Wh... Wow!

(laughs) Whoa!

(laughs) APPRAISER: I think it's really wonderful.
