| ABERGLASNEY, Wales, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A British woman who brought her more than 20-year-old plate the BBC's "Antiques Roadshow" in Wales said appraisers told her the item was worth $156,000. SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS Wendy Jones said she did not think the plate -- which had sat upon a support on the sideboard of her home for 30 years -- would be worth money, so she tossed it into a single grocery bag with no padding when she carried it to the event in Aberglasney, Wales, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday. "When I heard how much it might be worth I was shocked", she said. "On the way to the show the plate was on the back seat of the car, but on the way home I kept hold of it all the way." Experts said the plate was made between 1750 and 1755 by the Prussian East India Company for King Frederick II of Prussia. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
