Irita Marriott fell head over heels in love for a rare item on the latest edition of Antiques Road Trip, with online bidders also taken by the lot.
Irita joined Phil Serrell on a tour of Norfolk and Lincolnshire for the BBC One show. In King's Lynn, she set her sights on a £52 boomerang, but was put off when she couldn't decide if it was the "real deal".
However, she soon picked out a 1930s match striker. She said: "That very much excites me. These were designed by Henry Howell but I think the thing that makes them immensely collectable is the beak."

Irita shone her phone's torch on the bird's beak to highlight the amber. She added: "That red shows me that the beak is definitely original and is made out of cherry amber.
"Cherry amber is one of the best ambers there is. I am in love. This is definitely not a copy."
The bird was priced at £40 but Irita managed to haggle the seller down to £28. She added: "It's a no brainer for me."
At auction, a bidder for the match striker got the ball rolling with £85, with the price quickly rocketing to £110. The item eventually sold for £150.
Celebrating the huge profit, Irita said: "It's more than £100 so I'm definitely happy."
Phil congratulated her, adding: "It's rewarded your knowledge and it's rewarded the item."
