<\/p>\nANTIQUES Roadshow expert Cristian Beadman was floored after a guest brought in Dolly the cloned sheep's fleece for valuation.<\/p>\n
Dolly the Sheep was created in 1996 as a fundamental tool in stem cell research and has been dubbed \u2018one of the greatest scientific steps of the 21st century'.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
During an episode of the Antiques Roadshow hosted by Fiona Bruce at Brodie Castle in Scotland, a man was left stunned after discovering that his unique fleece from Dolly the cloned sheep was worth a fortune.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man revealed to expert Cristian that the reason he had the collection was because he used to work on the famed science project which introduced Dolly to the world.<\/p>\n
Dolly the Sheep was born at the Roslin Institute in nearby Edinburgh in July 1996 and died in 2003.<\/p>\n
She is currently on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dolly's creation has been fundamental to stem cell research and cloning.<\/p>\n Her research project 'opened up previously unimaginable possibilities' in the science world of biology and medicine.<\/p>\n She has become seriously popular since her death 20 years ago, and four identical clones are still living.<\/p>\n In the episode, the guest brought the fleece and a selection of laboratory equipment in a cardboard box, and upon opening it, Cristian was mesmerised.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The valuation expert expressed to the guest that \u2018Dolly was one of the most scientific steps of the 21st century' before gathering more information about the fleece from its owner.\u00a0<\/p>\n He added: \u201cMy training at big London auction houses did not prepare me for this sort of stuff.<\/p>\n \u201cEspecially her fleece is important now but in the future will be seminally important to science.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are museum pieces, and hopefully, one day will end up in some kind of museum.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n He then gave the guest a valuation, telling him that the collection could\u00a0 'well be into five figures\u2019.<\/p>\n Cristian also revealed to the man that he could expect to make anything up to \u00a330K at auction.<\/p>\n The man was taken aback and speechless after learning of the eye-watering amount.\u00a0<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the episode, clock expert Richard Price valued an old broken watch given to a guest by their father and picked up at an army surplus store for just \u00a320 at an eye-watering \u00a38,000 and \u00a310,000 at auction.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/xx-xx-xx-71.jpg\")
