After the episode, Ted sold the blanket for £325,000 and paid off his mortgage.
One guest headed along to the Antiques Roadshow with a blanket he said was kept "over the back of a chair" in his home - but he was nearly knocked off his feet when he was told how much it was worth.
Ted began to weep as Donald added: "Are you a wealthy man? Well sir, I'm still a little nervous here. On a really bad day, this textile would be worth $350,000 [£274,000]. On a good day, it's about half a million dollars."The blanket was a Navajo Ute blanket that dated back to around the 1850s. He said: "The value of this that I'm giving is not using the Kit Carson provenance. Provenance is difficult to ascertain. If we could do research on this and we could prove without a reasonable doubt that Kit Carson did actually own this, the value would increase again."
Top showbiz news Donald smiled: "Sir, you have a national treasure. When you walked in with this I just about died. Congratulations,"
