Cellar GEC Treasure: Engineer's Cupboard & 1920s Finger Boxes

From museum frustration to a cellar jackpot, Drew hunts fairground art and GEC relics across Devon, Scotland, Northampton and Birmingham. At Dingle's Heritage Centre in Lifton, Drew and Gavin get rare access to the fairground museum's overspill. The dream dodgem banner isn't for sale, but he does pry out PRIZE EVERY TIME fairground lettering and a charming set of four 1920s shooting gallery finger boxes. The biplane tub goes back, Moon Rocket letters stay, and the haggling stays sharp. North to South Ayrshire, Drew and T tour Black Clockery House. A spectacular Victorian canopy bath tempts but stays in situ; instead, a 10-foot country house sofa gets bought for £700 and squeezed into the van, midges and all. In Northampton, former boxer Mucker opens his barn. Replicas get binned, but a gritty factory pigeonhole comes out for £45. A showstopping steel workbench almost lands, until its folded back panel kills the deal. The score of the week hides beneath the Greek Cypriot Community Centre in Birmingham, once part of the GEC building. Drew uncovers a run of opaline shades lacking their galleries and gambles £150 for the lot. After T crawls through a dust-choked nook to retrieve original GEC metal letters, they agree £200. Then comes a heavy hitter: an early 20th century engineer's cupboard with chunky T-handles, bought for £130 and headed for a sympathetic clean. Back in North Wales, the team burnish, polish and restore. One shade is lost, but the cupboard scrubs up beautifully. Watch the digs, the deals, and the tough calls that turn forgotten industrial and fairground relics into future centerpieces. #SalvageHunters #DrewPritchard #GEC #Opaline #Fairground #IndustrialStyle #Antiques
