You can be wrong: “Cash for Rares” presenter Horst Lichter believed that when he saw two Steigerstocks he was dealing with an ancient Egyptian antique. Meanwhile, the traders fired jokes.
“Oh, now it’s getting really old,” Horst Lichter thinks he recognizes as he enters the dealer’s room. “Egyptian,” speculates the “Cash for Rares” presenter – and he couldn’t be more wrong. Sven Deutschmanek has to laugh out loud. “I was once at a Tutankhamun exhibition,” says Lichter. He had similar things.
In fact, they are Steigerstocks, to be precise: two Mansfeld Häckel. Michael Eckert brought her with him. The 58-year-old bank auditor from Schiffweiler inherited it from his grandfather. Häckel are Steigerstocks; copper and silver were mined in Mansfeld in Saxony-Anhalt. A Häckel is exactly one meter long; the examples here were created between 1960 and 1990 and are made of beech wood. These sticks were used as decorations on special occasions.

The seller would like 100 euros for the two pieces. The expert corrects the price slightly downwards; he considers 80 euros to be realistic. Eckert wants to try his luck in the dealer room.
There it is a mystery as to what exactly the purpose of this stick was. David Suppes has one question: “Are the Steigers going to Steiger?” he asks, looking at his colleague Susanne Steiger – and thus gives the starting signal for all sorts of jokes. Jan Čížek’s starting bid of 60 euros “increases” Suppes to 100 euros. Christian Vechtel wants to “get out”, and Susanne Steiger asks herself who will “buy it” at auction. Fabian Kahl “gets in” at 120 euros. Suppes doesn’t think that this can be “increased” any further.

This means that the reservoir of puns is just as exhausted as the commandments. And that’s a good thing: Michael Eckert is very satisfied with the sum of 120 euros raised.
