The Repair Shop
Vintage Bottle Stopper
E13 Dec 4, 2019 43m TV-PG
The team takes on a rusty pedal scooter, a keepsake with a theatrical past: an original engraved powder compact, and a whimsical vintage bottle stopper whose smiling face and red nose has fascinated owner Martin Day, ever since he was a young boy. Brian Adams is hoping bike restorer Tim Gunn can work his magic on a rusty pedal scooter that he inherited from his father. Silversmith Brenton West is challenged to restore a precious keepsake with a theatrical past: an original engraved powder compact. This unusual item was gifted to owner Dee Rance's aunt Lucy, a performer, by the legendary comedy impresario Fred Karno. Unfortunately the delicate box is dull, knocked and dented, and the mirror inside is cracked beyond repair. Brenton sets to work to transform this tarnished treasure and restore some star quality.
