So he thought:

"I wish I had a dollar for each "Fornicating Under Consent of King" that took place under this blanket..."

and now he does.... >:)

I'm really happy for the old man, he's obviously "just an everyday normal guy" who's gonna live his last days well because of this..... was nice to see how touched he was as he was realizing how his life was going to change because of an inherited freaking blanket... ::(|)

actually they said it could be worth 20% more then say the 500,000. so you'd be looking around 600,000. or there abouts.!

For a blanket you've had stuck on the back of a chair. it is truly amazing.

he's constantly saying that the thing was "very valuable at the time", and the dying was "very valuable at the time"

so in a way he's saying it's worthless these days, because we can do it too now, and cheap, but it's old and has a history, so now it's expensive

great, that's pretty much all there is to antique :/
though i must say the blanket looks very modern, i like it

i've been following snotr for few years now and i had to register because of this video. i just love to see how touched he is. i bet he is thinking about his children and grand children and how he can make sure that things will be okay for them for a while :)

saved my day!

This is where the blanket ended up.

It really is a national treasure, Because these blankets are so old there are usually only fragments left of them.

When the host guy said he "stopped breathing" I thought he was going to say "this is one of the blankets laced with smallpox"

This is better.

His "Gast" was totally "flabbered"....and so was mine! Being British we don't often hear of things like this... fascinating, I'm really pleased for the guy.
