The team tackle a tarnished rugby trophy, a Victorian sewing machine and an accordion.

Jay Blades and the team tackle a tarnished rugby trophy, a Victorian sewing machine and an accordion.

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. 

Master silversmith Brenton West takes receipt of a treasured rugby trophy. It belonged to Chris Jenkins’s great-grandfather, who was something of a rugby legend in the early 1900s. Sadly the trophy is a shadow of its former self, tarnished terribly, and the decorative dragon that proudly holds the chalice is now nursing two broken wings. The biggest challenge for Brenton is soldering the thin sections of replacement silver to the wings without further damaging the dragon. 

Dominic Chinea works on a beautiful Victorian sewing machine that was left to Sarah Goodman by her dear Aunty Shorty. The hand-operated design classic has completely seized up and not sewn a stitch in over 25 years. Sarah would love to use it with her own children and hopes Dom can get it stitching again. 

The skills of musical instrument restorer Roger Thomas are required when Bill Clemens and his step-daughter Kim arrive with a 1930s accordion in a sorry state. It belonged to Bill’s father and was his pride and joy. He was a true entertainer, and Bill looks back fondly on his childhood, proudly following his father to clubs and pubs in the East End where he would play. Kim has tried desperately to find someone to fix it, with no joy, and now Roger is her last hope.
