00:00A guy just pulled in the parking lot
00:01with a boat he wants to sell.
00:02So Chum and I are going to go check it out.
00:04Wow.
00:05Oh, a boat.
00:06So what do you have here?
00:07It's a 1958 SeaFlight Glastron.
00:10Damn, they wanted this thing to look like a 57 Chevy,
00:12didn't they?
00:13Sure did.
00:14Is it a convertible?
00:19I came down to the pawn shop today
00:20to sell my 1958 Glastron SeaFlight.
00:23I have another project in mind, and it
00:25happens to be another big, thin boat.
00:27I'd like to get $10,500 for that boat
00:29because you couldn't find another boat like that.
00:33Do you know any history on it?
00:35This boat was made in 1958 by a fledgling company
00:38named Glastron.
00:39There's probably only 150 of these boats left.
00:42That's neat.
00:43It was 1958, and everyone loved the style of the 57 Chevy,
00:46so let's come out with a boat that looks like a 57 Chevy.
00:49This Chevy 150, they had one paint scheme
00:51they called the Black Widow.
00:53Normally, I don't buy boats.
00:55They're money pits.
00:56But this thing is cool.
00:57It looks just like the 57 Chevy I
00:59got for the old man's birthday.
01:00It's definitely tempting because it's an iconic look.
01:04In 58, the space race was just starting,
01:06and everything had fins.
01:08Anything they could make rocket-like was cool at the time.
01:11This thing is supersonic?
01:13No, it's not supersonic.
01:15This thing probably did 30.
01:16It's got 80 horses behind it.
01:17Does it work?
01:18Yeah.
01:19All right.
01:20You ever smash this thing out on the lake?
01:22Yeah.
01:23I don't know what you mean by smash.
01:25Drive it like a rocket.
01:26This Glastron boat is awesome, but boats are tough to sell.
01:32So it has to be a home run.
01:34I mean, you got all the original chrome and everything
01:36seems to be here.
01:37Yeah, this was an affordable family boat.
01:40Do you know why?
01:41Because it was a little 17-foot boat.
01:43No, because it was fiberglass.
01:45No more wood boats.
01:46Wood boats were moving out.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Fiberglass was coming in.
01:49Ooh.
01:51School's in session.
01:52You just got schooled.
01:55Sorry, dude.
01:57So what do you want to do with it?
01:59I want to sell it.
02:00How much did you want for it?
02:03$10,500.
02:04Ooh.
02:05Um, this is my problem with it.
02:09It's like lipstick on a pig.
02:11I mean, we have a terrible paint job, OK?
02:14It doesn't have the original motor.
02:16OK.
02:17I realize all the flaws with this boat.
02:20The point is just the styling.
02:22And can you even find one?
02:26The thing is, find one.
02:29But it's still all about making money,
02:31and there's no money here for me.
02:34I mean, I wish I could do something.
02:35It's just I don't even want to make you an offer.
02:37There's too much work that's got to be done for me
02:39to make anything.
02:41Really?
02:42OK.
02:43All right?
02:43That's fine.
02:44Well, thanks for bringing it in, though, man.
02:45He was basically insulting me with the paint thing,
02:48the petty stuff, you know?
02:50That's a good-looking boat.
02:51This guy does no .
02:56What's going on, son?
02:57I've got a Hudson Bay Gourget made probably around the 1700s.
03:01Hey, Rick.
03:03What's up?
03:04What the hell's a Gourget?
03:08Came into the pawn shop today to see
03:10if I could sell my Hudson Bay Gourget.
03:12Hudson Bay is one of the oldest companies in the world.
03:15I want to try to get $100,000 out of it,
03:17but I'll have to see what he offers me.
03:20What do you know about this thing?
03:22As far as I know, it was made by Hudson Bay
03:24somewhere probably around 1700s.
03:26I don't know a whole lot about it.
03:27My dad actually got it.
03:28He picked it up in an auction.
03:30Do you know what he paid for it?
03:32A second mortgage on his house.
03:36OK.
03:37These go way back in time.
03:39I mean, even the Romans had them.
03:41It was to defend against a knife thrust or a sword
03:44thrust to your neck.
03:45I know the Hudson Bay Company was one of the oldest
03:47companies in North America.
03:49They were a trade company.
03:51You know, they basically traded with Indians.
03:53Hell, Rick, meat pioneer in this shop,
03:55maybe I ought to wear something like that.
03:58I don't think that would fit around your head.
04:01OK.
04:02All right.
04:05It looks like it might have been a trade piece to the Indians.
04:07That's Venetian glass.
04:09Yeah.
04:10And the glass beads is completely normal.
04:12They had to trade the Indians something for this.
04:13They didn't want cash.
04:14They didn't want coins.
04:15Yeah.
04:16They wanted stuff.
04:17Yeah.
04:17And how much you want for it?
04:19Probably about $100,000.
04:24You know, I don't see that happening.
04:27Why not?
04:29Because I think it's worth a lot less.
04:32How much less?
04:34Like $99,000 less.
04:38I can tell you right now it's not $1,700s, OK?
04:41Because you see this weird, this yellow-gray patina that's on it?
04:44Yeah.
04:45OK.
04:46That tells me right away it's nickel silver.
04:48OK.
04:48OK.
04:49They're right around 20% zinc, 20% copper, 60% nickel.
04:53Zinc wasn't isolated really until the 1800s.
04:58All right.
04:58What the are you talking about?
05:04Son, you're way out of line.
05:07Basically, I'm just trying to tell you I'm not bull .
05:11I have seen auctions for these things,
05:13and they generally go for right around $1,500.
05:15All right.
05:17I'd offer you $1,000.
05:19I don't know what you're smoking, man,
05:20but that's not going to work.
05:21So I'm going to take my stuff and leave.
05:23All right.
05:24Have a nice day.
05:25that guy.
05:26I think he just thinks I'm some punk kid
05:28and wanted to low-bomb me.
05:29I'm disappointed I couldn't make a deal.
05:30I would have liked to make the money.
05:33Hey.
05:35What is this?
05:36They're hunting rifles.
05:38They are a two-shot, 45-caliber percussion cap.
05:42These look gnarly.
05:44These are gnarly.
05:47These guns are seriously badass.
05:50They are absolutely unique.
05:52I've never shot these.
05:53I'm not strong enough.
05:55And trying to hold it up to aim, I think,
05:56would be a real man's task.
06:00Where did you get these?
06:02I'm a collector, and I picked these up in a trade from a guy.
06:06You can see that the barrels rotate like that.
06:10So you can load two shots at once, bang, and then rotate it,
06:14take your second shot.
06:15These were developed in, I'm guessing, 1870-ish.
06:20They would be earlier than that.
06:21By 1870, the percussion cap was going the way of the dinosaur.
06:26I would assume they'd be like 1850, somewhere around there.
06:28OK.
06:29Literally, it just took so long to load a gun.
06:32And basically, around the 1830s on,
06:34they made pistols with four barrels.
06:36The only problem was, a lot of times,
06:37all four barrels went off at once.
06:39And probably killed the guy you're shooting at
06:42because the gun was 50 feet behind you.
06:43Yeah.
06:44Or it was in your jaw.
06:46Yeah.
06:46Yeah, one or the other.
06:48Hunting in the early 1800s was tough.
06:50If you took a shot and missed,
06:52your dinner would be long gone before you reloaded.
06:54This rotating barrel was a huge advantage.
06:57You had an extra shot really quick.
07:00I mean, these look in good shape, but I see problems right away.
07:02This stock's been replaced.
07:04Really?
07:05Well, I mean, we got the tiger stripe maple right here
07:09with a completely different wood on the butt.
07:11It basically lights some rope on fire and wrap it around there.
07:13It makes some tiger stripes.
07:15I didn't know that.
07:16I always wondered how they got that beautiful wood.
07:18Yeah.
07:18OK.
07:19There's been some modern work on them,
07:20because that's a modern screw right there.
07:22One of the things that's interesting on these
07:24is this is left-handed.
07:26Oh, OK.
07:27That's something you rarely see.
07:29I would think so.
07:31And by the inlays here, I'm guessing
07:34that this rifle was built by William Hart.
07:37Who's William Hart?
07:39You know, I know that he was a gunmaker in the 1800s,
07:44but I've not been able to discover too much information
07:48on him.
07:48Rotating barrel rifles are pretty rare,
07:51and one being left-handed makes it even cooler.
07:53But when you don't have all the original parts,
07:56it's difficult to put a value on them.
07:59What do you want for them?
08:00I'd like to get $2,000 each for them.
08:04Just looking at them, you got to admit, they're damn cool.
08:09Do you mind if I call someone and look at these things?
08:11I mean, I just don't know enough about them.
08:12No, that would be great.
08:13I would like to learn more about them myself.
08:15I'm going to go give him a call.
08:16All right, thank you.
08:18I'm hoping that their guy gives me a good valuation
08:21on these things.
08:22Otherwise, well, I may have to beat on him some.
08:25Oh my goodness gracious, it's you again.
08:27The condition of the gun is what I would say
08:29is maybe poor plus.
08:32Oh, .
08:34It is me again.
08:35Well, it's a pleasure seeing you.
08:37We have two double-barrel rotating cap and balls,
08:42and this one's left-handed.
08:43Very interesting.
08:45You look up in the dictionary, like, not balanced,
08:48you're going to find this gun.
08:49.
08:50The small arms race since the very beginning
08:52has been about shooting further and faster.
08:54Further meaning more accurately, and faster meaning more
08:57bullets without having to reload.
08:58The gun is heavy, but if you have a well-aimed shot,
09:01you'll hit your target.
09:02This one could have been made by a guy named William Hart
09:05with the Hart inlays here.
09:08Usually marked on the barrel.
09:11OK, wait, William Hart.
09:13I didn't see that.
09:15He was known to make guns in Fredonia, New York,
09:18and he made them circa 1823 to 1831.
09:22Oh, they're that old then.
09:24Actually, in my opinion, these are probably
09:30turn of the century.
09:32OK.
09:32The 20th century, so.
09:34It's the 1940s or 50s.
09:37These are not old guns.
09:39Out of kits they're making them, where
09:40you find a lot of old parts, like the lock and the stock,
09:43and you make the barrel.
09:44The metal's really old.
09:46The trigger guard here has a lot of pitting.
09:48These were made in the 1830s, 1840s.
09:50So this gun is an assortment of older and newer parts.
09:54Cool.
09:55And the barrels, you can look at the rifling.
09:57It's just, it's more modern.
09:59Well, then this piece that says William Hart on it,
10:02would these have been recycled from the 1830s?
10:06Possibly.
10:07Some of the parts may be from the 1800s, but unfortunately,
10:11these swivel barrel rifles were made from bits and pieces
10:14sometime in the 1900s.
10:15They weren't made to be collected.
10:16These guns were made to be shot.
10:17Guns like this have been around since the 1830s,
10:20but these are not those guns.
10:23All right.
10:24So what are they worth?
10:25Well.
10:26I mean, because we do have 1830s, 1840s parts here.
10:33750 tops a piece.
10:35Each?
10:35Yeah.
10:36OK.
10:371,000 maybe.
10:38So.
10:39That would be your crybaby, whiny-assed opinion?
10:43Yes.
10:44Actually, it would be.
10:45But they're cool, right?
10:47Rick, if you buy these, they're fun to shoot.
10:49Call me.
10:49Thanks, man.
10:50Take care.
10:50Thanks, sir.
10:51Good to see you again.
10:52Yeah, good to see you.
10:53What do you want for them?
10:55Well, how about 2,000 for the pair?
11:00I can't do that.
11:01We can do that.
11:04I'll give you 1,100.
11:06Too low.
11:07I mean, they're really, really cool,
11:08and I do think they'll sell, but, I mean,
11:10they are what they are.
11:11But they do have a coolness to them.
11:15What's your bottom dollar?
11:181,500.
11:20Go to 14, we'll call it a deal.
11:25Okay, 1,450.
11:301,400 bucks.
11:31Thanks.
11:321,400.
11:341,400.
11:36If I come back, it would be interesting to have the same appraisal guy.
11:40Sometimes I'd like to smack him, but that's just me.
11:44I have a contract here signed by Elvis Presley in 1955.
11:49And, of course, this was back when nobody knew anything about him.
11:52So are you a big fan?
11:53Oh, absolutely.
11:54And he was good looking.
11:56Thank you very much.
12:00I'm here at the pawn shop today to try and sell my contract that is signed by Elvis Presley.
12:06I could surely use the extra money.
12:08I want to sell the contract for $8,000 to $10,000, hopefully.
12:13Where did you get the contract at?
12:15I have a friend.
12:16He was in the music industry.
12:18He said, I want you to have this.
12:20He said, I think it's worth something, but you'll need to get it checked out.
12:24Okay.
12:25Elvis, he was the king of rock and roll.
12:26Did you ever see him play?
12:27Yes, I did.
12:28I saw him in his early years live, and he looked fantastic.
12:33Sounds like you had a crush on him.
12:35Oh, I did.
12:37I loved his music.
12:38It had a fantastic beat.
12:40Everybody loved to dance to it, and he danced wonderfully.
12:44Yeah.
12:45Elvis is pretty tame by today's standards, but in 1955, he was risque.
12:50He was on several television shows where they would not film him below the waist.
12:54It was too much for the American public to see gyrating hips.
12:57My father did not like those gyrations.
13:01Elvis didn't invent rock and roll, but there's no question.
13:04He invented rock stardom.
13:05I think the Justin Bieber's of the world, oh, some serious props.
13:09Okay, we have a contract for Elvis Presley to play at the City Auditorium, Beaumont, Texas,
13:17June 20th and 21st, 1955.
13:21And it's signed by Elvis Presley.
13:24How old was he then?
13:26He was 20.
13:27Just a youngster.
13:28He was getting $225 a night.
13:31That was a lot of money in 1955.
13:33In 1955, that was probably like two grand today.
13:36So he was making that per night, and that was before he was famous.
13:39Imagine how much he made after he became this worldwide megastar.
13:43Right.
13:44The contract is really neat.
13:46It's something you don't see.
13:48There were very few of these out, and it is a cool part of history.
13:51This is exactly what an Elvis collector would want.
13:54It's on a single page, so you can easily frame it.
13:56It's got Elvis's signature, and it's before he was famous.
13:59My guess, it's incredibly rare and valuable.
14:02So what do you want to do with it?
14:03I'd like to sell it.
14:04And how much were you looking to get out of it?
14:06Well, I'd like to get $8,000 to $10,000 for it.
14:10That might be a reasonable figure, but we don't know the origins of it.
14:14Anything signed by someone really famous, I have to get checked out.
14:18So let me get someone in here to check this signature out.
14:20If it's legit, we'll talk about a price.
14:22Okay.
14:23Let me go give him a call.
14:25If this contract's legit, it's a gold mine.
14:27I would have Elvis collectors lining up out the door for this thing.
14:31Gentlemen.
14:32Drew, how's it going?
14:33Good to see you.
14:34How you doing, Drew?
14:35Elvis contracts.
14:36Is this it?
14:37Yep.
14:38Looking forward to it all day.
14:39The guys gave me a phone call.
14:40They said they had an Elvis Presley contract, and obviously something like that.
14:44You really need to look at the details and see if it's authentic or not.
14:471955, this is the year before he really got famous.
14:51His first hit came out the next year.
14:52So this thing is pretty early in the day, that's for sure.
14:55Elvis Presley's most desirable signatures there are, pretty much.
14:58Something on a contract before he's really famous, that can be worth a lot of money if it's real.
15:02How much do you think it's worth if it's real?
15:04Wow.
15:05An early vintage contract like this, even in this economy, we're looking at $15,000.
15:14All right.
15:15Do your magic.
15:16All right.
15:17Let's take a closer look.
15:19One of the things that stands out that makes it look like it may be authentic is it's typed right in the middle of the line.
15:25Usually when a forger does something, they want to do it perfect.
15:28So that's one of the things that kind of makes it look authentic, you know?
15:31Okay.
15:32So let's look at more evidence down here.
15:34I mean, it's got the epsilon E.
15:36The shape of the capital P is correct.
15:38I mean, he signed it pretty simplistic when he was only 20 years old.
15:41This is right for the time period.
15:43All the details seem to be correct.
15:46One thing we have to do for sure, though, is to see if it's an original.
15:49Because if it's not an original, it's not going to have any value.
15:52So let's take a closer look here.
15:55Pull out a little bit more power.
15:58See what we have.
16:11It's a copy.
16:14Machine copy.
16:15Xerox machine.
16:17It's not original ink.
16:18Are you sure?
16:20Positive.
16:21Oh, my God.
16:24Disappointing.
16:25Very disappointing.
16:27Really.
16:28Sorry to give you the bad news, but you can tell because the ink for the signature is the same ink.
16:33There's the typewriter ink and the print ink.
16:35If this wasn't original, you could clearly see, you know, the track of writing ink, okay?
16:40It would be different with the typewriter because that's a different type of ink.
16:43And again, it would be different with the type that is on the contract itself.
16:47It's a carbon copy, and unfortunately, not being original, it has no real value.
16:51I see.
16:52I'm heartbroken completely.
16:54This makes me feel terrible when this happens, someone especially as sweet as you.
16:59Thanks for coming in, hon.
17:00Oh, you bet.
17:01Sorry I couldn't do nothing.
17:08I feel very, very sad that it's not worth anything.
17:12I'm very emotionally upset about it.
17:14I need the money.
17:16And I was hoping this was our way out.
17:19And so I'm just really devastated right now.
17:21What are those?
17:23Poleaxes.
17:24It's okay to put these down?
17:25Yeah, go ahead and set them over here.
17:29Where did you get these?
17:30The Renaissance Fair?
17:31No, I got them in southern Germany.
17:33A town called Dingelsbuehl.
17:34It's a walled fortress city.
17:36Uh, from Dingleberry, Germany?
17:39Dingelsbuehl.
17:40Dingelsbuehl.
17:41Dingelsbuehl, okay.
17:42I've collected medieval weapons for about 20 years.
17:46I usually hang them up on the wall in my living room
17:48or in my collection room.
17:50It's like some people like Monet, some people like Picasso.
17:53I like medieval weapons.
17:57Halberds, huh?
17:58How old are these?
17:59They're about 500 years old.
18:01500 years old.
18:02What makes you think they're that old?
18:04Uh, the way they're made, these are hand-forged on an anvil,
18:07so they're really light, but they're really strong.
18:10My research, this one right here is Austrian,
18:12and this one's actually Italian.
18:14It was a pretty kind of high-tech weapon when it came out.
18:17I mean, pretty much what you would do is the guy would go
18:19rolling by on the horse, and you'd stick that into him
18:22and yank him off of it.
18:23I mean, it was...
18:24And then once he was on the ground, you had all this leverage
18:27to swing over your head and, you know, get right through his armor,
18:30and you had this nice little pointy part to get in between things
18:33and poke him, and it, uh, it's a pretty versatile weapon.
18:37These axes are in amazing shape.
18:39If we can prove these are real, I know I can easily sell them
18:42to a military collector.
18:43So how much are you looking to get for these halberds?
18:46I need 7,500 each.
18:497,500 each, all right.
18:51Um, have you ever had them looked at or appraised by anybody,
18:55or...?
18:56I've collected medieval weapons for quite some time.
18:58I've done my research, so I'm very confident in what they are.
19:02You know, there's people who have their whole houses decorated
19:05in this style of stuff.
19:06I'm sure I could sell it to somebody.
19:08But...
19:11I couldn't tell you if they're real or fake.
19:13I couldn't tell you if they're 500 years old
19:16or if they're 300 years old.
19:18I really just don't know.
19:19For that kind of money, mind if I have a buddy of mine
19:21come down and take a look at them?
19:22No, absolutely not.
19:23I welcome it.
19:24All right, I'll give him a call.
19:25Okay, thank you.
19:26If he's bringing in somebody that really understands
19:28medieval weapons and blacksmithing,
19:30then we're probably about to make a deal.
19:32So, we got some halberds here.
19:34What do you think?
19:35Yeah.
19:36Um...
19:37Very nice halberd.
19:38Very nice.
19:40How old do you think that is?
19:41Well, uh...
19:42About 500 years.
19:44I'm gonna put it back down again.
19:45That would make me more comfortable.
19:46Let me put the halberd down.
19:48Yeah, this is a very nice piece.
19:49What do you know about it?
19:50I believe this one's Austrian because of the pattern
19:52and also this particular outline.
19:54And you also have these dots here.
19:56Typically, uh, the halberds that were made in Austria
19:58will have these little vent holes in them.
20:00And you'll also see these little side hooks as well
20:03on the Austrian designs.
20:04This is definitely Austrian.
20:06Tell me what you know about the other one.
20:07I believe the other one's Italian.
20:09Okay, you would be right.
20:11This is more ornate, a little more gaudy, if you will.
20:15All right, so you're fairly sure they're from the 1500s.
20:18Actually, I'm not.
20:20Uh, these are halberds,
20:22and halberds were used during the 1500s.
20:24The wood on these break and are repaired and replaced.
20:27This is not original wood.
20:29So it's made in the style, but that's not a big deal.
20:32Okay.
20:33The real question is, are the heads real?
20:37The Victorians were famous for building classic production
20:40of older weapons.
20:42Okay.
20:43The thing that really concerns me about this piece
20:47is that the steel is really flimsy.
20:50I wouldn't want to be hit by this, but, you know,
20:53you whack somebody wearing armor with this thing,
20:55it's liable to bend or break.
20:56I'll conclude that this is probably from the Victorian period
21:02and is what I call the decorator piece.
21:04I disagree.
21:05You think it's not original because it's flimsy,
21:06but that thing is hand-forged,
21:07and I believe it's original based on what I've studied.
21:09They were hand-forging things in the Victorian period, too.
21:13So what about this one?
21:14Okay, this one.
21:15Taking a close look, it does have a foundry marking on it.
21:17The Victorians really didn't worry about foundry markings
21:18because that's not the point, okay?
21:19They were building something for you to hang up on your wall.
21:20The steel is very strong.
21:32I mean, that's very strong steel.
21:33It's not...it's not bendy at all.
21:35This is a weapon.
21:36This is not something you'd hang on the wall just to look cool.
21:40I can tell you this is real.
21:43So give me an idea.
21:44What do you think they're worth?
21:45This one is, again, not a lider sensor.
21:48This one is, again, not for you.
21:50If you wanted to buy this, I'd pay no more than $600 or $700.
21:54This one, if you want one of these,
21:56I can get you one for $1,500.
21:59No, they're worth a lot more than that.
22:02If you think you can find these on the internet for $1,500,
22:05knock yourself out, because it's not going to happen.
22:07If you're not exposed to the market
22:09and don't know where to find a piece like this,
22:11you know, $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, not out of the question.
22:14But the value, about $1,500.
22:17Well, I disagree with you.
22:18Good luck finding something of that quality.
22:20OK.
22:20Hey, Corey.
22:21Appreciate it, man.
22:22Pleasure.
22:22Chumley, take care.
22:24Sir, have a good day.
22:25Disagree, but good to see you.
22:25Hey, good to see you, too.
22:27Craig's not afraid to mix it up a little bit.
22:29Sometimes he pisses people off, but he never steers me wrong.
22:32And even though they're not as valuable as we originally
22:34thought, I'm still interested.
22:37His pricing is not correct at all.
22:40They're worth a lot more money than that.
22:41If they were everywhere, you'd have seen them before.
22:44They're not.
22:46I mean, if I were to make you an offer,
22:47I'd make you an offer of around $1,500.
22:49Are you talking a piece?
22:51No, I'm talking total.
22:52No, I'm not interested at all.
22:54Well, if I were you, next time I'd buy one,
22:58I'd call Craig, too.
22:59All right?
23:00Appreciate it, man.
23:00All right, thank you.
23:01You couldn't buy that for $1,500 if you just found it in the ground rusted.
23:07I'm absolutely fine keeping them, or I can trade them with other people that actually
23:11know what they're talking about.
23:12I came in today to show you my Charles A. Lindbergh personal briefcase.
23:18This is Charles Lindbergh's briefcase.
23:20And how do you know that?
23:21Because I'm a Lindy baby.
23:24Lucky Lindy.
23:25Uh, really?
23:26Well.
23:27No, I'm not an error.
23:28No, I'm not.
23:29Considering Charles Lindbergh was one of the greatest aviators of all time, I believe
23:38I have one of the greatest finds in American history.
23:41You know, he was the first guy to fly across the Atlantic.
23:46Absolutely.
23:47To most people, it was a pretty insane idea.
23:51And lo and behold, he got a company in San Diego to build the plane.
23:55This was a 24-year-old kid that convinced him to do this.
23:58Correct.
23:59Correct.
24:00And he ended up doing it.
24:01Once he landed in Paris, people started ripping apart the plane for souvenirs.
24:05Correct.
24:06They sure did.
24:07Charles Lindbergh was the ultimate underdog.
24:09Tons of people were trying to make that solo flight across the Atlantic.
24:13And out of nowhere comes this young airmail pilot who beat everybody to it.
24:17Okay.
24:18How did you get the briefcase?
24:20A couple had bought a home, and this was one of the items that they had found.
24:25When they opened it up, they seen where it had embossed the name Charles A. Lindbergh.
24:30Okay.
24:31Right here.
24:32C.A. Lindbergh, Little Falls, Minnesota.
24:34And the person who sold him the house, she wrote about the briefcase.
24:39It says, this briefcase used to belong to Charles Lindbergh.
24:44My dad bought it for me at a pawn shop in Minneapolis.
24:47This was before Lindbergh became famous.
24:50His name is stamped on the inside cover of the case.
24:54Signed, Helen.
24:55So this briefcase was sold to the pawn shop a few years before his flight?
24:59Absolutely.
25:00That makes perfect sense.
25:01In the 1920s, pawn shops were the number one form of consumer credit.
25:06If you needed some cash, that's generally where you went.
25:09I'll tell you what, you have an intriguing story here.
25:12It's disappointing that Lindbergh did not take this on his transatlantic flight.
25:16But if he did take it on some of his earlier flights, we're looking at a significant piece of history that just walked into my pawn shop.
25:22How much were you looking to get out of it?
25:24Well, I'm actually looking to get $85,000 for it.
25:30Here's my big problem.
25:32You've got like six degrees of separation here.
25:34Right.
25:35You have this card here and a briefcase that's just embossed, C.A. Lindbergh.
25:44Let me have someone look at this.
25:46I'm going to have to give him all the info you gave me.
25:49If he can tell me he's confident that this was Charles A. Lindbergh's briefcase, then we'll start talking.
25:54I want you to be confident.
25:55All right.
25:56That sounds great.
25:57Okay, just hang out.
25:58All right, thank you.
26:00There it is.
26:01I mean, for all I know, her dad just went and embossed the damn thing and says, I got this as a pawn shop.
26:06This was Lindbergh's.
26:07Mm-hmm.
26:08Well, had that been the case, I would have never bought it.
26:10Charles Lindbergh, when he flew across the Atlantic, he moved himself into a level of fame that never went away.
26:21You have to work through what information you have and what I've been able to put together on this.
26:27The initial one is that it came from Helen Renstrelent.
26:32Renstrelent Ross.
26:33Yes.
26:34Correct.
26:35And she's real.
26:36I was able to find her.
26:37Yeah.
26:38She was a nurse in the school district in Sacramento for 30 years.
26:41Yeah.
26:42So that part of the story holds together.
26:43Now, Little Falls, Minnesota is the correct location.
26:46Correct.
26:47And that's where C.A. Lindbergh was living.
26:50Of course, we have two different people with those initials.
26:53It's not Lindbergh Sr. and Jr., but Charles August Lindbergh and Charles Augustus Lindbergh.
26:58Augustus Lindbergh.
26:59And Augustus is the one who flew over the ocean.
27:00Right.
27:01His father, however, Charles August, was elected to Congress, served 10 years.
27:06And one thing that I found as I was doing research on this was a letter that Charles August sent to his son, where he talks about the fact that he is out of money and he has been selling his goods.
27:22This would have been the right time period for this to have been sold to a pawn shop.
27:27And so you go back and you start checking all the other pieces of it.
27:31And in this case, Charles Lindbergh, the pilot, always went with Charles A. Lindbergh.
27:36His father, however, always went with C.A.
27:39So as I look at the evidence and the research that I did, it's my opinion that this was Charles August Lindbergh, the father, the congressman, not Charles Augustus.
27:57Now, I'm not taking away from your expertise.
27:59I still believe it belongs to Charles Augustus Lindbergh, the pilot.
28:05And you have the right to your belief.
28:07Right.
28:08But what I found on it, it was Charles August.
28:11All right.
28:12Thanks, Mark.
28:13Not a problem.
28:14I 100% disagree with him.
28:16When it comes down to business, I believe in seeing it through.
28:20Well, I mean, Mark's my guy.
28:24I mean, I just have to believe whatever he tells me.
28:26So obviously, we're not going to make a deal.
28:29I mean, try and do some more research, try to get some more documentation.
28:32That's all I can tell you.
28:33All right.
28:34Will that change your mind?
28:35Depends on what you get.
28:36Okay?
28:37All right. Thank you very much.
28:38Have a nice day, man.
28:39All right. Thank you.
28:40This did not belong to his father.
28:41And I will prove that when I come back.
28:43It's going to cost a whole lot more.
28:46What do we got here?
28:47I have an amazingly rare gun.
28:49Amazingly rare?
28:50Yes.
28:51The Smith & Wesson 320 revolving rifle.
28:54They only made 977 off.
28:56People who collect Smith & Wessons, this is the crown jewel right here.
29:00It's really rare.
29:03I came to the pawn shop today to sell my Smith & Wesson 320.
29:07I'd like to sell my gun today because I have my very first granddaughter.
29:11So I'd like to use the money for her.
29:13I'm looking to give 5,000 and the least amount I'm willing to take is 1,000.
29:19Where did you get this thing?
29:21I actually bought it at a yard sale.
29:23Okay.
29:24It's not a rifle, it's a pistol.
29:25Well, it used to be.
29:26A rifle.
29:27How was this ever a rifle?
29:30There was a rifle stock on the back that mounted on the back of this right here.
29:33There was also a stock right here from underneath the barrel.
29:35That's what this whole setup is for.
29:37And this thing had a much longer barrel on it.
29:39Okay.
29:40If you collect Smith & Wesson revolvers from the late 1800s,
29:43generally collectors want to get every one of them and they complete their collection.
29:46So there's only a few who can ever have this gun.
29:49So why is it so rare?
29:51Smith & Wesson didn't play with the prototype a lot and it was a bad design.
29:55So no one bought them and that's why it's the most collectible Smith & Wesson ever made.
29:59Yeah.
30:00They found out.
30:01They would shoot it as a rifle.
30:02The shrapnel would rip up their arm.
30:04It's not shrapnel.
30:05It was powder burns.
30:06Okay.
30:07I mean, with the first prototype, they should have realized it would have done that to somebody.
30:12Smith & Wesson has been making guns since the 1850s.
30:15Some of their guns were so popular, they became iconic weapons.
30:19But this thing's different.
30:20It's one of their rare flops that didn't sell well.
30:22Since no one bought them, they're very rare and that makes them very collectible.
30:27Those few people who did buy them, word got out how terrible they were.
30:30So basically, you were stuck.
30:32You could turn it into a pistol or you could use it as a hammer.
30:37Do you have the shoulder stock or any of the other parts for it?
30:39Unfortunately, I threw it away.
30:41You threw away the stock.
30:46Unfortunately, I did not know it went with that gun.
30:48You know the stock alone, probably worth over $1,000.
30:51Oh my God, are you serious?
30:53Yeah.
30:54So you want a pawn or to sell it?
30:56Sell it.
30:57Okay.
30:58And how much did you want for it?
30:59I was hoping to get $5,000 for it.
31:01This is one of those bangs, you know, you got a really rare gun here.
31:04But as far as condition goes, it couldn't get much worse.
31:07Let me have my buddy come in and take a look at it.
31:10Let's get his opinion on it and we'll go from there.
31:12Sounds good.
31:13All right.
31:14As a collector myself, I know that I'll pay good money for something that I don't have in my collection, even if the condition isn't great.
31:21But I'm kicking myself in my ass right now for throwing away that stock.
31:25Hey, Craig, how you doing, buddy?
31:26Don't worry.
31:27What's new?
31:28How's it going, man?
31:29Okay, thanks for calling.
31:30Well, this is it.
31:31Wow.
31:32And I haven't had one of these in my hands in a long time.
31:34Yes.
31:35This is a very, very rare gun.
31:36I own Craig Gottlieb Military Antiques and I specialize in military collectibles and antique firearms.
31:41The guys call me down to the shop when they get a rare military antique or firearm and I answer any questions they have.
31:47Where'd you get it?
31:48I actually bought it at a yard sale.
31:50I do this for a living and I never find things like this at a yard sale.
31:53That's amazing.
31:54This gun was made between 1880 and 1890.
31:59They were trying to make a revolving rifle.
32:01A lot of different companies were trying to do that.
32:03Colt did it, Winchester did it.
32:04Okay.
32:05But they made less than a thousand.
32:07It was a very bad design because when you shoot a normal revolver, you fire the weapon and most of the powder and residue goes downrange.
32:15But when you're shooting a revolving rifle, your hand is forward of the cylinder.
32:19So what usually ended up happening was powder went into your hand.
32:22You look at a rifle like this today and you go, this is crazy.
32:25Who would think of doing this?
32:26But after the Civil War, gun manufacturers were trying to innovate.
32:29They were trying to come up with new things.
32:31It turned out not to be a very good design, but because they didn't make very many, it's very rare today.
32:36The greatest thing this has going for it is that it's rare.
32:39I mean, the condition's terrible.
32:40Do you have the stock?
32:42I didn't know it went with the gun and I threw it away.
32:45Oh.
32:46You know, frankly, if you had the stock, the stock would probably be worth just by itself as an old piece of wood, $5,000 or $6,000.
32:53Wow.
32:54Wow.
32:55If this was in mint condition, had the stock, full barrel, you could get north of $15,000.
33:04With this, it's in relic condition, but it does have the original grips.
33:10These are vulcanized rubber grips, and those are quite hard to find.
33:14OK.
33:15So what's it worth?
33:19Between $800 and $1,000.
33:21Are you serious?
33:22Is that it?
33:23I think as a dealer, you buy it and you hope you find the guy that needs the grips.
33:27In fact, you know, if you had a mint condition gun like this and you needed grips, this would be a perfect gun.
33:33Thanks, man.
33:34Thanks.
33:35Appreciate it.
33:36So, are you still interested in selling it?
33:40I don't know that I would want to sell it for less than $1,000.
33:44I'll give you $800 for it.
33:46Condition is everything with old guns, OK?
33:49And I realize that.
33:51If you would do $1,000, I would sell it right now.
33:54I'll give you $800.
33:56I think that's more than fair.
33:58And I'm only going the $800 because it'll probably be the only one I'll ever have in my store.
34:02Then how about we meet in the middle, we'll do $900.
34:04All right, $850.
34:06If you do $875, you got a deal.
34:11You're going to make money on it.
34:13I really believe you're going to make money on it.
34:17All right, $875.
34:18All right, thank you so much.
34:20Go write it up.
34:21So come with me.
34:22It's not the $5,000 I had hoped for.
34:25I'm walking out with $875, and I'm going to take it home, and it is going to go to my granddaughter.
34:30How are you doing?
34:31Hi.
34:32Hey, can I help you?
34:33Yeah, I'd like to sell a picture of Mary and Abraham Lincoln from, I believe, 1863.
34:38I thought Abe only took photos by himself.
34:40What are you talking about?
34:41Oh, he's right about that.
34:43Are you jealous?
34:44All right, we're running a business here.
34:49I'm here to sell my 1863 photo of Mary and Abraham Lincoln.
34:55I'm a collector of 19th century photos, and this was part of a collection of 11 photographs
35:00that were unidentified, and it substantiated the importance of the collection because it
35:05had Mary and Abraham Lincoln together.
35:08This is really intriguing.
35:10It's an ambrotype.
35:11You know what that means?
35:13Um, I just know that an ambrotype, it took like 30 minutes to develop, and they had to
35:18be fixed straight with like some...
35:20It was the way photographs were done.
35:21The film wasn't as good as it is today, obviously, like that.
35:24So it took a long time to expose it.
35:26So they would have hooks on the wall that would go around like that, and you'd have to
35:28push your head into them for at least five seconds.
35:31It took forever to take a photograph back then.
35:33It was really, really expensive.
35:35Yeah.
35:36Mary was quite the shopper.
35:38I could relate to her.
35:39You know, her and Abe almost didn't even get married because she shopped too much.
35:43No.
35:44They were going to get married in 1840 when he was in the state legislature in Illinois.
35:49But Abe was like, no, you'd be spending too much, girl.
35:52I don't know where you get your history from.
35:54Abe did not have a lot of money, was just starting his legal career, so they postponed
35:59the marriage until his law firm took off, which it did so they were able to get married.
36:07All right.
36:08So where'd you get this?
36:09I bought it from a collector who sold me a collection of 11 photographs that were unidentified,
36:14and I painstakingly was able to identify every single one of them, and did recognize it
36:18to be Abraham and Mary together.
36:21And no documentation, anything like that?
36:23Nothing at all.
36:25Okay.
36:26So, how much do you want for this?
36:28I feel it's one in a million, so I'm asking a million.
36:31Whoa.
36:32A million dollars?
36:33A million dollars.
36:34Okay.
36:35So, um, I can call someone and take a look at it.
36:38I am kind of a renowned expert on photo identification.
36:41So, give me a few minutes, I'll go give her a call.
36:44Okay?
36:45Okay.
36:46I don't know of another photo of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln together.
36:50So if it is real, it's probably the only one in existence.
36:55So it's something that I just have to look into.
36:58Maureen, how's it going?
37:00Good.
37:01So here we go.
37:02Gorgeous.
37:03It's supposed to be Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln.
37:06Yeah.
37:07I have my doubts.
37:08Okay.
37:09Do you mind if I take a look at it?
37:10Absolutely.
37:11This is a really beautiful photograph.
37:14It's an amber type, as you know.
37:16An amber type, they enhanced the cheeks and the lips to make them look more lifelike.
37:22So, Abraham Lincoln was a very distinctive-looking individual and had a particular style of beard.
37:30You have to look at everything in the photograph, from what they're wearing to what type of picture it is, to then what's happening with the face.
37:37The issue with this guy being Abraham Lincoln, you can see that his nose is a little bit different, his eyes are a little bit different.
37:44And Mary Todd's face is a little wider.
37:47But there are some things about Abraham's face.
37:51He had a nose that was crooked, and he definitely has one in this photo as well.
37:56I have to admit, I know why you think this is Abraham Lincoln, because he has that sort of gaunt shape to his head.
38:03But there's another thing we can look at, and that is facial comparison software.
38:10Okay.
38:11So it actually lays one face on top of the other.
38:14They have to be the same size.
38:17It resizes them.
38:18What's that?
38:19It resizes the heads so that they're...
38:21Because I use a caliper, and I check the eyes, and they're a match.
38:26Okay.
38:27But you can see that this woman has sort of different eyebrows.
38:32I don't want to be difficult here, but I feel I am an expert.
38:35I look for other things besides just face.
38:37I look at the clothes.
38:38I look at the background.
38:39I check...
38:40Yes, so do I.
38:41I look at everything.
38:44Okay.
38:46It's not a problem.
38:47It's your career.
38:48You have a right to discredit yourself.
38:50But you know what?
38:52But I've been doing this for a really long time.
38:54Okay.
38:55And a lot of people come to me saying that they have...
38:58They'll be coming to me in 10 years.
39:00I'm honest to God.
39:02I know.
39:03You think this is worth a million dollars?
39:04No.
39:05And you would like it to be worth a million dollars.
39:06And all I'm saying is it's my opinion that it's not Abraham Lincoln.
39:12Someone's making a mistake.
39:14So your opinion is it's not real?
39:16It's not.
39:17Thanks for coming in.
39:18You're the best.
39:21Okay, so you heard Maureen.
39:23Okay.
39:24So, all right.
39:25I appreciate it.
39:26Like I said, we can agree to disagree.
39:28Yeah, thank you very much.
39:29I appreciate it.
39:30Have a good one.
39:31Take care.
39:32Yeah, no.
39:33It didn't sell today.
39:34That's not a big deal.
39:35It will stay in the collection.
39:37In this case, I never got past first base.
39:39It's just the way that it happened.
39:43How can I help you?
39:45Well, I have a coin here.
39:46It's a portrait coin of Julius Caesar from the month before he got assassinated.
39:51Okay.
39:52This coin is really interesting.
39:55Yeah, this is cool.
39:57Yes, I think I was actually Caesar in a different lifetime.
40:03I'm coming into the shop today because I have a portrait Julius Caesar coin that I want to sell.
40:09I believe it's a key piece to any historical coin collection.
40:14I'm hoping to sell it for $4,400, but I absolutely love it, so I'm not going to take any low bowl offer for it.
40:21Yeah, this is cool.
40:22I mean, you have Caesar dictator.
40:24One of the neat things is where it says dictator on the front of it.
40:28That's a negative term nowadays, but back then it wasn't.
40:33During times of war, they would assign a person the title dictator, and a dictator would do what was necessary to preserve the republic.
40:44Okay, and no matter what he did in office, he could not be prosecuted for that when he left office.
40:49Cool.
40:50When he was assassinated, everyone said he was a tyrant, which was different.
40:54Yeah.
40:55It was legal to assassinate a tyrant that was tyrannicide.
40:59But once Brutus and all of his buddies killed him on the seventh floor, they seem to realize if we say it's tyrannicide where we killed a tyrant, we're screwed because everything he did when he was in office is now null and void.
41:13But if he wasn't a tyrant, then it was murder.
41:15So they basically came along and says,
41:18He wasn't a tyrant, and we didn't murder him.
41:22After Julius Caesar was assassinated, there was a real power vacuum in Rome, and it wasn't until Octavius that basically straightened everything out.
41:30The great thing about this is it's a 2,000-year-old coin with Caesar's face on it, and I won it.
41:37So are you looking to sell it?
41:39Yeah.
41:40Okay.
41:41How much were you looking to get out of it?
41:42I won $4,400, please.
41:43Okay.
41:44There's a million variables, especially with ancient coins.
41:51And quite frankly, I don't know enough.
41:53I don't know if that's a good price or not.
41:57Do you mind if I have someone look at it?
41:59Sure, please.
42:00All right.
42:01I'll be right back.
42:03I'm really excited that an expert is coming in to attest to its authenticity.
42:07This is one of these historical personalities that made Western civilization the way it is today.
42:12This is the coin.
42:13Okay.
42:14Julius Caesar.
42:16A few names in history ring with the familiarity of Julius Caesar.
42:20You know, there's Napoleon, you know, a few other people you can throw in.
42:25Julius Caesar's murder inspired Shakespeare.
42:27Yeah.
42:28I mean, this is a serious bit of history.
42:30This particular coin was struck within 30 days prior to Julius Caesar's murder.
42:37Many historians believe that the fact that his portrait appeared on a coin was one of the things that led to his murder.
42:46So is it real?
42:48Do you mind if I take it out and look at it?
42:50Yeah, sure.
42:51Go ahead.
42:52Okay.
42:53The strike is perfect.
42:57The style is correct.
42:59Everything is right.
43:00Okay.
43:01It's perfectly genuine.
43:03All right.
43:04So what do you think it's worth?
43:06Um, when you get a coin like this, there's no shortage of buyers.
43:12When they are in fantastic condition, the very best of these have brought in the neighborhood of $200,000 each.
43:19Okay.
43:20But there's a good amount of wear.
43:23It's circulated.
43:24And I think this is worth in a neighborhood of $1,500.
43:29Retail?
43:30Retail.
43:31Okay.
43:32To me, it seems almost ridiculous that somebody would sell it that low, especially when they knew it's history.
43:37Well, I'm basing it on what I've seen them sell for in auctions in Europe and the United States.
43:43But the decision is yours.
43:45Thanks for coming in, man.
43:46All right, man.
43:47Thanks.
43:48One last question.
43:49Where can I get these for such low prices?
43:52I understand why the seller is not happy with that.
43:56You know, the fact is these things are undervalued.
43:59And it's probably best that he holds on to it because the bottom line is it's difficult to replace for less than its current market value.
44:09Dave, he's been in the coin business his entire life.
44:12And I'm going to take his opinion.
44:17You know, I'd give you $1,000 for the coin.
44:19Is this a real offer or...?
44:23That's a legitimate offer, yeah.
44:24That's not a legitimate offer.
44:25You're just using your position here, trying to buy something for below its market value.
44:31The way market value is determined is if two people agree on a price.
44:35If you don't like my price, you don't have to take it.
44:37How about $4,000?
44:38No, there's no money to be made.
44:40I have a final offer for you, $3,500.
44:43And I'll take cash, $100 bills.
44:48I guess we're not going to make a deal, man.
44:50You're lost, my friend.
44:51Thanks for coming in.
44:53Have a nice one.
44:55The offer of $1,000 is absolutely ridiculous.
44:58I'm going to hold onto the coin, and I'm going to try to sell it to someone else
45:01that could actually appreciate its true historical value.
45:05What do we got here?
45:07Atlanta Braves 1995 World Series ring.
45:11Hmm.
45:12Oh, that's a pretty cool year, man.
45:14Team of the 90s.
45:16Got there seven times and then finally won World Series in 95.
45:21They're like the Buffalo Bills of the 90s, man.
45:23They just couldn't pull it off.
45:24Come on!
45:25I came to the pawn shop today to try to sell my 1995 Atlanta Braves World Series ring.
45:33I'd like to sell it because my wife and I were moving to Vietnam.
45:37Hoping to get $13,000 inside.
45:39So where'd you get it?
45:41I got it from a buddy of mine who needed the money and, you know, I thought it'd be a good investment.
45:45Atlanta Braves 1995 World Champions.
45:49Was Turner the staff member?
45:51He was the owner.
45:52Yeah, Ted Turner.
45:54This belonged to Ted and he issued it or gave it away?
45:57Could make it worth more.
45:58They had some pretty good people on the team back then, didn't they?
46:01Dave Justice, Greg Maddox.
46:04Chipper Jones.
46:05Chipper Jones.
46:06Greg Maddox won the Cy Young.
46:08It's a really good franchise.
46:09They just couldn't get it done all them other years.
46:11Think they were the team of the 90s?
46:13Sure, they were good, but no one really liked them.
46:16The first championship rings were given to the Giants in 1922 when they beat the Yankees.
46:21The design was pretty basic and only featured one diamond.
46:24But by the 1970s, championship rings got flashier with lots and lots of diamonds.
46:29So it's no big surprise that these things can go for a lot of money.
46:33You know, there's a pretty big difference when it comes from staff to player rings.
46:37I mean, everybody wants a player's ring because it was by a guy who actually won the World Series.
46:41So what do you want to do with it, my man?
46:43Yeah, I want to sell it.
46:45I'd like to get $13,000 for it.
46:47$13,000, huh?
46:49Championship rings are one of my dad's favorite things to buy.
46:52We make really good money when we sell them to sports collectors.
46:55But every ring is different, so getting the price right can be tricky.
46:58You mind if I have a buddy come down and take a look at it?
47:01How come?
47:03I'd like to get the money and get out of here.
47:06You know, right now, if you have to hold me to an offer, I'm going to offer you $4,000 because it's a staff ring.
47:11My guy might come in and tell you it's worth a little bit more.
47:14All right, that's fair.
47:15Okay.
47:16All right.
47:17Let me give him a call, and I'll be right back.
47:18All right.
47:19I don't really know that much about the ring.
47:21They're going to bring in an expert, so hopefully he'll verify that it's worth the $13,000 I'm asking for.
47:27What's going on, guys?
47:28The guys call me down to the shop whenever they have some sports memorabilia that they need some more information about.
47:331995 Braves championship ring.
47:36The Braves are actually the oldest continuously playing team in American professional sports.
47:41Oh, wow.
47:42Over the years, though, they had a lot of ups and downs.
47:44Finally, in the early 90s, they found new life with a great lineup that propelled them into the 95 World Series.
47:49It was a great contest.
47:51One hand, you got the Indians.
47:52In the National League, you had the Braves, who by far had the best record.
47:55Wasn't it like by 21 games or something?
47:57Yeah, the Braves had about a 20-game lead in the National League.
48:00The Indians had maybe like 30-game league in the American League.
48:02Braves finally won in game six, brought home their third title, and actually gave the city of Atlanta their first major sports championship, too.
48:08I've seen World Series rings sell for tens of thousands of dollars, so I'm really excited to see what this ring might bring.
48:14What concerns did you have with the ring?
48:16It's a staff ring.
48:17Okay.
48:18I know there's a huge difference in price between a staff ring and a player's ring.
48:21Right.
48:22I think it might be Ted Turner's ring, which is kind of crazy.
48:25I mean, what do you think it might be worth?
48:27Let's take a look at the ring here.
48:30We have a large diamond set on top of a blue stone, and we're going to have 18 smaller diamonds surrounding it.
48:35The company Jostens, they made the rings for the 95 Championship Braves.
48:39So on the inside, we should see the Jostens logo.
48:42What do you see?
48:44Unfortunately, this isn't even a staff ring.
48:49This is what they call a salesman sample.
48:53They're provided to the team to perform so they can get a look at the ring, see if they like it, approve it, and they make it from there.
48:59We know this based on two main reasons.
49:01Number one, the inside of the band, it does not have the Jostens logo.
49:04And also, it's issued to Turner, which is Ted Turner, the owner of the team.
49:08Ted Turner's not a guy that needs to hock his ring or sell it to come up with a few quick bucks, so there's no doubt that this is what we would call a salesman sample.
49:15Okay.
49:16They still do have value.
49:17People just want to own a piece of the 95 Braves.
49:20With the original box and everything, you're looking at around two grand.
49:25All right.
49:26I was really disappointed.
49:29They bring some bozo off the street.
49:31I don't know where he came from.
49:32All of a sudden, he comes through the door, and he's Mr. Expert on baseball.
49:36So I don't know.
49:37I was really disappointed.
49:38Well, if you heard what my guy has to say, thinks it's a salesman's sample, I would offer you around $800 for it.
49:52Oh, that's okay.
49:53I'll just take it home.
49:55All right, my man.
49:56I appreciate it.
49:58All right.
49:59I've learned my lesson.
50:00I'm not bringing any more rings into this shop.
50:03Hey, how can I help you?
50:05Hi.
50:06I've got something that's going to blow your mind.
50:08It's an Austrian miniature pinfire pistol.
50:12That's cool.
50:13Bam!
50:17I came to the pawn shop today to try to sell my pinfire pistol.
50:20I'd like to get $100 for it.
50:22The least amount of money I'd take is probably $50.
50:27So where did you get this?
50:28I found it in a trinket box that my mom left me.
50:31So what is it, a gun?
50:32It is.
50:33It's a little miniature pistol.
50:34Two millimeter, the world's smallest pistol.
50:37Two millimeter?
50:38Probably do some damage to a stuffed animal.
50:43The neat thing is, you can still buy the ammo for it.
50:45It's little caps.
50:46You would not believe how loud these things are.
50:48It really sounds like a gun when they go off.
50:51Miniature guns like this were first made by watchmakers.
50:54They're meant more for a novelty than an actual gun.
50:57If you shot someone with this little gun,
50:59it wouldn't do any good because they just shoot caps.
51:02Do you know how old it is?
51:04It was made like from 1900 to 1930.
51:07It has made in Austria written on the barrel there.
51:11And I understand that that was after 1900.
51:13They had to start putting made in.
51:15Yeah.
51:16I mean, normally I can't buy a gun made after 1898.
51:19But these right here, basically the government
51:21doesn't consider these guns.
51:22They consider them like toys.
51:23Right.
51:24OK?
51:25Now, I hate to break the news to you,
51:27but they still make these.
51:29Brand new in Austria.
51:33Right.
51:34But that's an antique one.
51:35And why is it an antique one?
51:37Well, doesn't it look?
51:38It looks old to me.
51:40It's one of the smallest guns you can buy,
51:42as far as I know, that actually fires a cap.
51:45And as cool as it is, they're not worth that much money
51:48because they've been making them for right around 100 years,
51:50and they still make them to this day.
51:52How much did you want for it?
51:54I was thinking around $100.
51:56Um, you can buy them brand new,
52:00with like some ammo, and some flares,
52:03and attachments, and a cleaning kit,
52:06for like 80 bucks.
52:08Really?
52:09Now I've given you all the info.
52:11How much did you want for it?
52:14How about $50?
52:15How about $20?
52:16How about $30?
52:18I really think it's an antique and really special.
52:22How about $15?
52:23Oh!
52:24I would take the $20 and run.
52:30OK.
52:31I'll take $20.
52:32OK.
52:33Here.
52:34Right or up, chum.
52:35Thanks for coming in.
52:37All righty.
52:38I'm a little disappointed that I settled for $20,
52:41but he had a good argument.
52:44Hey, how can I help you?
52:46I've got a Lamborghini dash clock.
52:50Would have been a lot cooler if you brought it in the car.
52:52To me, that's a little bit cooler than the car itself.
52:54You really are a nerd.
52:59I came down to the pawn shop today
53:01to sell my Lamborghini Diablo dash clock.
53:04I'd like to get around $3,000 for it.
53:06I'd like to sell it today because it doesn't fit my Ferrari.
53:09So what can you tell me about it?
53:11Well, these were made by Brickay for Lamborghini
53:14in the introduction of the Diablo in 1990 through 1993.
53:19It was a big deal when it came out.
53:21It was the first Lamborghini to go over 200 miles an hour.
53:23Right.
53:24The first Lamborghini cars hit the market in the mid-60s.
53:27And since then, they've been making some of the coolest
53:29and most expensive sports cars in the world.
53:32For the guy who's got everything, it's the ultimate status symbol.
53:35So you know anything about it?
53:37There were only probably 200 to 300 of those made.
53:39So that's an option for the car?
53:41How expensive is it?
53:42$10,500.
53:44Hey, girl.
53:45My clock cost $10,000 for my rainbow.
53:50It's the oldest watch company in existence.
53:52Right.
53:53It was the most accurate watch you could get back in the 1700s.
53:56Brickay watches are extremely collectible.
53:58So I got to believe I can sell this clock.
54:00But it might take a while.
54:02The Diablo insignia might not appeal to a lot of buyers.
54:05How much did you want for it?
54:06Wholesale was around $6,000.
54:08So I was thinking around $3,000.
54:10Okay, I've had clocks like this before.
54:12They don't sell like the watches do.
54:14They depreciate just like the Lamborghini.
54:17I don't think he's funny.
54:23Okay.
54:24I'll tell you what.
54:25I'll give you $2,000.
54:27I got to find a Lamborghini fan,
54:29and I got to find a really expensive clock collector.
54:31So it's going to sit for a long time.
54:34How about $25,000?
54:37How about $22,000?
54:40$24,000.
54:42I'll go $2,300.
54:52Okay.
54:53All right.
54:54Deal.
54:55Write them up, jump.
54:56I like the digital one better.
54:57How much was that option?
54:59We settled on $2,300, which may sound crazy for a clock,
55:02but if you can afford the car, then you can afford the clock.
55:07Okay.
55:08What do we got here?
55:10An ivory tusk.
55:12Okay.
55:19I'm here today at the pawn shop with my ivory tusk that is beautifully hand carved.
55:25I would hope that I could get somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500 for it.
55:30And what do you want to do with it?
55:31I want to pawn it for seven to ten days.
55:34Okay.
55:35I need some money between now and four o'clock.
55:38So how'd you get this thing?
55:40I bought it in Taipei.
55:41How much did you pay for it?
55:43I paid a lot.
55:44Okay.
55:45Unfortunately, it's not ivory.
55:46What do you mean it's not ivory?
55:48This is bone.
55:49It's pieced together bone and it's made for the tourist trade.
55:51It only took like two seconds until this was an ivory.
55:54I've seen this hundreds of times before.
55:56They were in Asia.
55:57They went to a market.
55:58They were told they were ivory.
56:00They spent a lot of money on them.
56:02I was told it was ivory.
56:03Ivory would be a lot heavier than this.
56:05Who says?
56:06Says me.
56:08Bone is porous.
56:09Ivory is not.
56:10Ivory is completely solid.
56:11If you look close, see the panels the way they come together like that?
56:16Well, if it was real ivory, it would just be one solid piece.
56:19And what they do is they cut up pieces of bone and they shape it around a piece of wood.
56:23And this is what you get.
56:24Oh, my goodness.
56:25As a matter of fact, through the split right here, you can see the wood that's underneath it.
56:29When you go overseas, there's a lot of unscrupulous dealers who will tell you it's ivory when it's not.
56:34I'm not really interested in buying ivory anymore.
56:36I mean, ivory used to be needed for billiard balls, concert pianos, and a few other things.
56:40Nowadays, you have synthetics.
56:43I don't like the process of getting ivory.
56:45I don't like the politics of it.
56:47I don't like anything about it.
56:49How much are we looking to get out of it?
56:50A thousand to fifteen.
56:52There's no way.
56:53I would loan you like a hundred dollars on this.
56:55No.
56:56Okay, that's what I can do.
56:58Do a little bit better.
56:59There's no way I can do better.
57:00It's not real.
57:01It's bone.
57:02Okay?
57:03It's beautiful.
57:04Yeah, it's pretty.
57:05Yeah.
57:06But I don't loan on pretty.
57:07I loan on what I can sell it for.
57:09Mmm.
57:10Mmm.
57:11Okay, I mean, that's basically what you got.
57:12All right, thanks a lot.
57:14I'm very upset.
57:15I was told it was ivory, and years and years later, now I'm finding out that it's not.
