An Antiques Roadshow guest was astonished to learn a treasure that had been thrown away was made of solid silver, and priced in the thousands. "We don't often get safes brought into the Antique's Roadshow," Gordon told him. Gordon went to examine the antique, concluding that it opened up with a special mechanism to a cigarette box. The guest told that he used the box to entertain his nephews and nieces, challenging them to see who can get it open the quickest. "So we come to the value," Gordon continued, "and comfortably I could see someone paying three to five thousand for it."
