A guest on the Antiques Roadshow left an expert stunned after refusing to sell a wooden duck.
The man and his wife brought the duck to be valued alongside a photograph and a "funeral card."
Keen to find out more, expert Eric Knowles asked the guests to share the story behind them.
The guest explained that the duck, which was around 120 years old, was used by his grandfather for duck shooting on lake Windermere.
"That's my father," the guest said as he pointed to a man in the picture, adding that the man on the right was his grandfather.
He explained that his grandfather would plant his decoy duck with other ducks.
"So they'd be out there shooting at this? Thinking it was the real thing?" Eric asked.
Noting the holes in the wooden duck's face, he added: "And they did strike it."
The guest explained: "My grandfather took it back to The Old England, and they put it on a silver platter because the gentry would be having duck for their dinner.
"And they would lift it up, and the duck was there, along with the funeral card."
Picking up the "funeral card" on the table, Eric said: "In memory of a wooden duck, brutally done to death on Lake Wind on the 28th day of February 1908 by three cold-blooded poachers, namely The Major, The Parson and Joe. May their sins damn them to eternal hellfire."
Noticing that the duck could only bob its head up and down, he asked: "So do you want to tell me a little bit about the contraction of this thing?"
The woman explained: "Well it was done with a whale bone out of a woman's corset to put it on a spring.
"Later, it had to be replaced by a more modern substitution shall we say."
Eric asked: "Which came from?" The owner replied: "From somebody's bra."
"Okay," Eric replied. "Alright, well it does the job, doesn't it?"
"It's a bit of a cliché when people say 'he's priceless', but the tales you're telling about this duck are equally priceless.
"If I offered you £50 for him, would you sell it?" The owner quickly replied: "No."
Eric went on: "If I offered you £1,000 would you sell it?" But he was shut down once again with a blunt "No."
The expert continued: "If I offered you £5,000 would you sell it?"
But the owner declined, saying: "It wouldn't go to anybody other than the family and I'd make sure that it was looked after."
