Relative's clock on Antiques Road Show

Last night, a silver clock made by my great great great uncle's company was on Antiques Road Show, valued at £15000-£20000.

My great great great Uncle was William Hair Haseler, a Birmingham silver smith, and his company made designs by Archibald Knox for Liberties under the 'Cymric' etc. names.

Unfortunately, we don't have any items made by him for Liberties!  His Liberty items do come up on the programme from time to time and are usually valued high, although not as high as this one usually!
