the expert looks like someone who would give u a quest in a game

[@PieInTheSky9]

He looks like Sir Hammerlock from Borderlands 2

[@SourceCod33]

And welcome to jumanji

[@erepsekahs]

He is Ken Kastle......google him.

[@mohamadyazid4450]

The jumanji. Guy

[@xenosrhapsode7836]

Hahaha good one

[@danilmanison935]

That was probably the most real expert they had on the show lol. He actually put on gloves before touching the lamp😀😀

[@Drakelx55]

Danil Manison not all antiquities require gloves. In the case of old books the library of Congress states that gloves may cause more harm than good

[@TheTeufelhunden68]

@@Drakelx55 Why is that? I'd think the oil from the fingers would be most detrimental. I'd appreciate the info, thanks.

[@Drakelx55]

Roi R. Czechvala while it can be, according to the Library of Congress using gloves can make it easier for slip-ups to occur especially with paper. Since cotton gloves remove a lot of tactile feedback. So that’s why the Library of Congress doesn’t use gloves but does request users wash their hands prior to handling sensitive materials. I spend a lot of time at the University of Houston Archives and they are of the same opinion

[@danilmanison935]

@@Drakelx55 Huh didn't know that. That's pretty cool. Thanks for letting me know.

[@saveriosalemme5366]

I lived in Italy for over 20 years and the expert was right, you can find Roman oil lamps very easily and cheaply.

[@humbleacho3814]

Saverio Salemme oof buy me one

[@joejjj4378]

haha I googled it and there are sites selling them for as low as £60. Not as nice as this one though but still

[@MrRedsjack]

I am from Italy and the one you find online are reproductions made in china. Among the real ones somewhat common are not carved bronze but made of clay. Bronze is more rare. Nicely carved bronze is quite rare. In that condition with the pin still swiveling properly after 2000years? Very very rare, museum piece. 40k? Maybe not but definitely over 10k. Condition and complexity is the key. To me that piece seemed in exceptional good condition.

[@davids11131113]

MrRed you sound like a Roman duck lamp community organizer.

[@moose030406]

Not 2000 year old ones

[@NIGHTFOX216]

I was thinking it was worth $500 before he said the $40G’s.

[@stephenheaton8889]

You must be a genius

[@jaidevnani2253]

I was actually thinking 20 bucks

[@josephgagaridis9504]

Same even if it's an ancient arti fact

[@merciatreasurehunting9773]

A bronze age axe head 3500 years old is only worth like £300 which is like $550

[@Chris55433]

I thought maybe $200

[@Sambeck63]

I’m glad the guy from Jumanji got a real job!

This dood's outfit and stache is "something else." Can't stop staring at him, he's too epic

[@phantom1592]

I do have to say that out of all the experts I see on this show.... Dr. Phineas Kastle is by far my favorite. Something about that facial hair.. those insane hats just his whole vibe that he has some epic backstory... but it never gets mentioned because he's not here to talk about himself... that just gives me joy every time i see him. You get a genuine feeling that he knows what he's talking about... possibly because of the time machine in his basement... :D

[@phoenixrising489]

I 💕 this comment. It's my favorite ever on any platform. I'd love to sit n pick at your brain for for more perceptual thoughts on the 🌍🌎

[@MrTripcore]

That's 1% of the asking price

[@Duvdeve]

@@7volcast yea..

[@slamblamboozled1245]

Asking price isn't the same as the actual value. But $400 is definitely really low, a lamp from the 1800s would sell for more.

[@gavinrutter3939]

Slemke 98 1800s? Boy you have much to learn

[@jh9875]

I’m surprised he wanted it. Being old and being unique, does not equal being valuable.

[@jh9875]

Slemke 98 I’ve never met a single person who would spend even $50 on a piece like that. Market value is what people want to spend, not what something is appraised at. This guy will never, ever, sell that item for more than $300

[@javaman1570]

Derm Chumlee savage dude too away two zeros from the original price 😂😂

Isn't that the guy from Jumanji?! 🤣🤣

What are you willing to bet he probably bought it for less than $20

[@F5_cena]

@laser325 or from a random person he broke into house

[@JSchroederee]

If there was any reality here and he actually bought it from a NYC antiques dealer, he would have likely paid top dollar. (By buying it he set the market price for ancient swan lamps.)

[@jasonherrera2787]

He bought it at the thrift store 😂🤣

[@michaelharris8598]

2 gazillion dollars.

@@Shaun81000 MAYBE there is a bidder. I've been to auctions where NO ONE bids on the item(s).

I don't believe this guy really deals in Ancient artifacts.

He sure dress funny but if the titles were true, he's probably one of the few "buddy" who's actually an expert. He has a doctorate degree, a professor of the relevant field. Most of the guy they bring in are just consultant.

I live in Italy and often shop in Rome's antique stores. There are a lot of these things around, both ancient and modern reproductions. They're actually really popular, and you can get them in flea markets. The nice ones, with a stand, run about two or three hundred Euros, max.
