- On tonight's episode,

Chum is all dressed up
with nowhere to go.

- These dresses
are really cool.

I love them.

I love all things Disney.

I still enjoy going to Disney
park at 40 years old.

I do kind of think it is
the happiest place on Earth.

- Later, Corey and Chum
get a briefing

on some rare Nike merch.

- We have a Nike
briefcase from 1982.

These were actually
a gift from Phil Knight

to senior executives.

- Rather than
Christmas bonuses,

they were giving out
this kind of stuff.

- And then, an unusual
car from the 1970s

gets me all revved up.

This is like the DeLorean
before the DeLorean.

- It is.

- Can I open it up?

- Hit the Up button,
hold it up, and step back

so it doesn't smack you
in the face.

- Damn!

♪ ♪

What do we have here?

- That is a Civil War
sign from 1864.

- OK.

We got 1864.

We have Gettysburg.

I'm just assuming
this was probably

a couple of years after the war
that someone painted it up.

You know,
it's, like, a cool thing

to hang on the wall at a party.

That's my theory.

Way to prove it?

No way.

[laughs]

- I'm here today
at the pawn shop

to see if I can sell my
1864 antique Civil War sign.

It's 160 years old,

and the condition is
unbelievable.

I'm asking $10,000
for it today.

If I make a sale today,
I'm going on vacation

straight to Mexico.

- This is interesting.

Where did you find it?

- I found it at an estate sale.

- OK, so we got a lot of
weird stuff going on here.

OK, you take this plaque
right here

and you get rid of Sharpsburg,
Gettysburg and the 1864,

that's Thomas Jefferson's
coat of arms and his crest.

OK?

It basically says, "He who
gave us liberty had life."

And that's all the way back
to the 1700s.

But then they've added
Sharpsburg and Gettysburg

and 1864,

so immediately assume

it has something to do
with the Civil War,

and definitely
from the Confederacy.

♪ ♪

- Wow.

- You know how you can tell?

OK, there was a lot of battles,

and they both had
different names.

The South had a tendency
to name battles by cities,

the North by landmarks.

The South called it Sharpsburg,

because it was by
the town of Sharpsburg.

But in the North, they called
it the Battle of Antietam.

There was Antietam Creek
nearby,

that's why they called it
Antietam.

So we know it's from the South.

And there was another

Thomas Jefferson
that died in 1864.

Did you know that?

- No, I did not.

- He was only,
like, 17 years old.

But he was the great,
great, great nephew

of Thomas Jefferson.

So I'm assuming sometime
a couple years after the war,

you're like, you know,
Thomas Jefferson's nephew

died right down the street

and they did
a little plaque on it.

Maybe hung it in a bar,
or some place like that.

That's the best I can figure.

Beyond that, I have no idea.

But I kind think it's cool.

How much you want for it?

- I was looking to get
$10,000 for it.

- That's not gonna happen.

[laughs]
I mean, for--for $10,000,

I can get you a super cool
Civil War rifle

and the guy's backpack
and his canteen and all that.

You know, I'd give you,
like, 500 bucks for it.

I mean, it's really neat.

It's got some history to it.

The problem is,
we don't know the history.

- For 500, I'd hang on to it.

- All right, well,
thanks for coming in, man.

- Thank you.

♪ ♪

- How are you doing?
- Good.

How are you?
- Pretty good.

What do you have here?

- I have a 1908 racing trophy.

It was won by a woman,
which is pretty interesting

because women weren't
really racing back in 1908.

- Do you mind if I take a look?

- Go ahead.

- I can't really read the name.

Something O'Skinner?

- Yeah, Miss Skinner.

- In 1908, cars were
a lot different.

V-6s had only been out a year.

I mean, think of,
like, a Model T, right?

That's kind of
where cars were at

at this time period.

Driving these things
would have been a challenge.

Have you ever drove a car
without power steering?

- I have.

And I tell you what,
it is a challenge.

- It's actually a workout.

And I go to the gym
for a workout,

not drive my car.

[tires screeching]

- I'm here at the pawn shop
to sell my 1908

sterling silver
Hill Climb racing trophy.

This trophy was used to
promote the Mitchell car.

I'm asking 2,500.

And I came up with
that price because of

not only the price
of sterling silver,

but the historical value.

- This is cool.

Mitchell actually was
a car manufacturer

right around
this period of time.

They're not around anymore.

So this trophy looks
like it would have been

for a hill climbing race,
which is not what

you would think of
as a typical race today.

Today, when you do
a hill climbing race,

you kind of think dune buggies,
motorcycles, four wheelers.

It's more of a dirt sport.

In 1908,
the landscape of vehicles

was much different
than it is today,

and I can't picture them
running up a dirt hill.

So it probably wouldn't make
sense if the hill race was

taking place on asphalt
or concrete,

and maybe even
a longer distance

than we think of associating
with hill races today.

So how did you get this?

- Well, I came across this
doing a property cleanup.

- Yeah, not a bad find.

How much are you
looking to get?

- About 2,500.

- It feels like
sterling silver.

I'm gonna have to put it
on a scale and weigh it.

This is what I would
consider scrap metal.

If you sell this to me,
I'm gonna melt this down

and sell it for silver weight.

It really has no value
as a keepsake,

as a memorabilia,
or even as an antique.

I have a scale here,
and we'll just put it on there.

Just under 1,080 grams.

It's gonna scrap out

somewhere right around
700 bucks.

So I could buy it
for about 500.

- Yeah, that's a little bit
lower than I was hoping to get.

Could you maybe go
anywhere closer to 1,200?

- It's not worth 1,200.

You have $700 worth
of value here.

So I can't pay more
than $500 with it

because I couldn't sell it
for more than 700.

- Well, I think I'll go ahead
and hang on to it

for the time being.
- OK.

Well, I appreciate
you bringing it in,

and have a good day.
- You too.

- How's it going?
- Good. How are you?

- So this looks like
a Sweetlove?

- Yes, William Sweetlove.

- OK.

Now, tell me about
where you got it.

- Yeah, it's a kind of
a funny story.

My neighbors had it.

And they were home one day,

and the wife caught
the husband cheating.

And this is his
prized possession.

So she knew I had
French bulldogs,

and so she gave it to me.

- Hell hath no fury like
a woman scorned, right?

- Amen.

I am at the pawn shop,
and I am selling

a William Sweetlove

I feel like it's
a really rare sculpture,

because it has the artist's
signature on it

and it says it's
number seven of eight.

I love dogs.

I have French Bulldogs,
and it makes me

think of them when I see it.

But it doesn't match
anything that I have,

and the dogs get
weirded out by it.

So I just thought
it was time to let it go.

I'm asking $6,500.

Honestly, I came up
with the price because

who wouldn't love $6,500?

And it was given to me
for free.

- William Sweetlove.

I don't know
all that much about him.

I know that he's kind of
gotta be a big deal.

I mean,
there's Area 15 in town.

Have you ever been to it?

- No, I haven't been there.

- OK, I mean,
it's a real cool place.

It's an interactive art museum
with installations

and food and drinks.

And right at the entrance,
there is

two of these that are,
you know, big, massive ones.

All right, let me
see this real quick.

Ah, well, I'm fairly sure that
no one would make

something this heavy
and make it fake.

Weighs as much
as a boat anchor.

- Well, I don't know
if you saw.

There's a signature by him,
and I think it says

it's number seven of eight.

- OK.

How much are you looking
to get out of it?

- I'd like to get 6,500.

- I mean, I don't doubt
that it's real.

Quite honestly,
these things go up and down

in price so often.

You know, it's just
a sign of the times.

What's really hot this month,

who knows what it was
last month

or who knows what it
will be next month.

I know he's really popular,

- Yeah, absolutely.
Please.

♪ ♪

- Hello there, gentlemen.

- Gentlemen?

- I have something for you.

- She has you confused.

- [laughs]

- What do you have here?

- This is a fossilized
whale vertebrae.

- OK.

How do you know this is
a fossilized whale bone?

- That's what
my grandfather told me.

He was a marine biologist,

and it's been in the family
for years.

- Well, it does look like
it could be a vertebrae,

though--right, Rick?

- I guess so.

Or it could be a moon rock.

- [laughs]

I'm here to sell
a fossilized whale vertebrae.

The whale vertebrae itself
is about 10 inches,

about 3 pounds, and you can
definitely see that

it's some sort of the spine.

I've had this fossil
for a few months.

But it's been nothing but
a paperweight on my desk,

and that's why
I'm looking to sell.

I'm asking for only $600.

If I make a sale for $600,

I'm hopping on the first flight
to Miami.

- I don't know
whale vertebrates,

but let's check it out.

It's definitely a fossil.

If this is a whale vertebrate,

it's a pretty nice specimen.

- I have no idea.

- First off, you can see
the structure of a bone.

Like, it's very oval
right here, right?

It looks like
a whale vertebrae.

And inside here,
you can see, like,

you know, the makeup
of the cells and the bone

fragments and all that stuff.

- I just don't know.

And so in your
professional opinion,

is it a whale vertebrae
that's fossilized?

- Oh, without a doubt, 100%,
in my professional opinion,

we need to call Andre.

- OK.
[laughter]

OK.

How much you want for it?

- I'm willing to let it go
for about $600.

- I don't know
the going rate on fossils.

It does look good, though.

But I think we should get
a real expert down here,

and I'll go call Andre.

Because just like you,
I know just enough

to get you in trouble here.

- OK. All right.

- [laughs]

[upbeat rock music]

- I have a woman in the shop
with what she says

is a whale vertebrae fossil.

and she's asking for $600.

So I have Andre, my
paleontologist, coming down.

He's gonna tell us if it's real

and if it's
a whale of a deal or not.

♪ ♪

- Hi there.
- Hi. How are you?

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Chum, good to see you.

- Andre, how's it going?

- It's going great.
- Thanks for coming by.

- I'm not even gonna tell you
what she says it is.

You tell us what it is.

- Can we place
a friendly wager?

- No.
- All right.

It's a whale vertebrae.

- Well, I guess I was right.

- You were right--
our junior paleontologist.

- He's working his way up from
junior paleontologist, though.

- So what do you think?

- Do you mind if I pick it up?

- Absolutely.

- Go ahead, Andre,
and school Rick.

Tell him what I already know.

- All right, well,
that's clearly bone

any time you see
that spongy stuff inside.

Divers find these
alongside megalodon teeth.

This doesn't look like
it came from the ocean, though.

Typically,
those dive finds will have

oysters and clams and corals
and stuff stuck to it.

This looks like
it came from a land site.

I'm looking
at the coloring here,

and this looks really
similar to the stuff

that we see come out
of the Lee Creek Mine

in Aurora in North Carolina.

The condition really
reflects that,

because when these are dug
out of these mines,

they're not worn by the ocean
and the action of the waves

and stuff like that.

So this is a really,
really nice vertebrae.

- Told you.

- So how old is this?

- So these whales show up
in the fossil record

about 15 million years ago.

And they're--reached
their height of diversity

in the Pliocene about
2 1/2-5.3 million years ago.

- All right,
and what's it worth?

- The million dollar question,
right?

It's a really nice
preserved specimen,

but there's nothing
particularly

outstanding about it.

I'm gonna say
$200 is a fair price.

- OK. Thanks, man.

Appreciate it.
- You're welcome.

- Thank you.
- Take care.

- Obviously, you're not gonna
get the 600 bucks.

- [sighs]

Are you sure? [laughs]

- Sure.

I'll give you 100 bucks for it.

- I could do 175.

- What do you think?

- Well, Andre said
it's worth 200,

so I think you can come up
to at least 125.

- OK, 125?

- 150, make it even?

- 130 bucks.

- I'll do 130.

- OK, sweet.

- All right.

I'll write you up over here
at the counter.

- All right.
Looks like we have a deal.

- All right. Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Don't break that.

in the shop with a bulldog

by the artist
William Sweetlove.

She's asking for $6,500,

how desirable

this artist is
in the pop art market.

I asked our art expert,
Patrick, to take a look

and see if I should stay
in this deal,

or if I should try to fetch
a better price.

- Hi.
- Patrick.

- Emily.

- I know I've seen his stuff
at Area 15 here in town.

I just have no idea
what it's worth.

- Well, you knew right away
it was William Sweetlove,

and these are actually
at installations

all over the world.

So they're generally made
out of plastic,

because he has an environmental
message along with this.

- Would that be why
he has the water bottle?

- That's part of it.
- OK.

- So in the title, it's called

"Cloned Bulldog
With a Pet Bottle."

It's PET like the plastic,
P-E-T.

- And what's the message?

- It's an environmental
climate change message

that we need to change
things now,

because those big plastic
bulldog sculptures

are gonna be around forever

if they're not
recycled properly.

He's trying to highlight
all of that while showing it

through some amusing artwork.

- Oh.

- Go ahead
and check it out, man.

It's heavy, so be careful.

- So if this is
what I think it is,

then it's one of
the fine art pieces.

- Whoa, fine art.

So he's not just a fad?
- No.

He's from Belgium
and actually sold art

for a couple decades
before really

catching on and spreading out
into galleries

all over the world.

- OK.
- All right, so it is heavy.

So the sculpture itself
is actually bronze,

and then that's silver plating
on top of it.

Looking at the signature,
it matches

the other ones that we've seen.

Each of the eight is dripped

with a different color paint.

And the coral is number one.

So it looks like it's seven,

but that's actually
a European one.

- Oh.

Does that make it worth more
if it's one or seven?

- Generally it does.

- She's asking 6,500 for it.

What's something like this
go for?

- So the larger ones
tend to go for

in the $20,000
to $25,000 range,

depending on the finish on it.

And these, right now,
we're looking at about 5,500.

- All right, Patrick,
well, I appreciate you.

I'll let you know if we get it.

- OK. Good luck.
- Thank you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Now that I'm--

I'm very comfortable
buying it,

I'd offer you two grand.

- It's a lot lower.

It's more than half.

- It is cool. But I just--

I got to make money on it too.

It's not like I just have
thousands of people

running in here
to buy this thing.

It could sit here for a year.

- Would you do 3,000?

- Nope, but I'll do 2,200.

- All right, fine.
I'll take the 2,200.

- 2,200? OK.
- Thank you.

- Come with me
and I'll get you written up.

- I didn't want
to take this dog home.

That thing is a pain to carry,

from bringing it in here.

- It is.

I have a 1975 Bricklin SV-1.

It's a very unusual car,
because it's got

gull-wing doors from the '70s.

Built in Canada,
and less than 3,000 made,

so it's a must-have
for any collector.

I'm asking 25,000 for it,

which I think is
a really good price,

considering the condition
and the market right now.

- This is pretty cool, man.

So where did you get
this thing?

- I found it here in Vegas.

A local collector had bought
it from the original owner,

and it spent 35 years
in a museum.

- My understanding is Bricklin,

he's the one who brought
Subaru to the United States.

- Yes.

- In the early '70s,

he wanted to manufacture
his own cars,

and he came up with this.

- It was built to be,
you know, above and beyond

the safety standards back then.

- Yeah, it's called an SV-1
or an SV-2, something--

- SV-1, which stands
for Safety Vehicle One.

- Which is just, like,
a terrible name for a car.

I'm sorry. [laughs]

- I--I agree.

- People don't think
about safety when

they're buying a fast car.

I mean, a little bit,
but, like--

- I don't think it was really
marketed as a sports car

that much as it was
just a safety vehicle.

- How many miles you got on it?

- Just under
8,000 original miles.

only made it for two years.

How many did they make
of these things?

- Just over 2,900.

Yeah, be careful on that one.

- Yeah.
Of course you guys can.

- All right, let's go.

♪ ♪

- All right, here we go.

♪ ♪

- Well, have a good time
on your drive.

- I will.

I mean, it drives
like a 1975 car.

- Two barrels
and 170 horsepower

of pure animal...
- Yeah.

- Instinct right here.

- I mean, overall,
it's driving all right.

It's not pulling the side.

Brakes are good.

[squeaking]

It makes a great sound when
you try to put up the window.

[laughs]

- There's still a quarter inch
crack back here.

- Yeah, it won't go up
all the way.

- No.

- There's a little wobble
in the back from something.

- Yeah, there's
something strange.

It's a pretty good
lump, lump, lump, lump.

Do you like the car?

- I'm sort of torn on it.

I love the looks,
but, like, 20 feet away.

- Yes, it looks like
a million bucks 20 feet away.

It'd take a year of solid
work to go through this car--

you know, straighten
the body out on it,

fix all these little things.

- There's no big issues,

just a ton of little ones,
right?

- Right, but it starts
adding up.

We need to take all
the rattles out of the car.

We need to get rid
of that exhaust leak.

We've gotta fix the headlight
issue on the car.

Someone's got to fix some
of the upholstery issues

that are kind of pulling away.

- All right,
so what do you think

this thing would retail for?

- $12,000.

Thank you.
- All right.

Thanks, man.
I'll see you soon.

I'd give you, like,
8 grand for it.

- Yeah, unfortunately,
we're way too far off.

- OK.

Well, thanks for letting me
come out and drive it.

I can say I drove one
of these things now.

- Yeah.
- Have a good one.

- Yeah, you too.

So I feel the expert's value
is quite low.

I understand
it does need some work.

It needs a little bit of love.

Maybe I'll find the right buyer
for it eventually.

But until then,
I'm gonna enjoy it.

- Some of the coolest
and even weirdest cars

ever made have been the result

of someone's
big stylistic risks.

In 1958,
the Ford Motor Company

was getting their butts kicked
by GM and needed something new.

They came up
with the Ford Edsel.

The car's vertical grill
was the butt of many jokes,

saying it looked like
a toilet seat.

But the Edsel also had
a disastrous launch.

Cars were delivered with
oil leaks, hoods that stuck,

and trunks that wouldn't open.

The Edsel was supposedly
a $350-million loss for Ford.

Talk about a lemon.
[laughs]

In 1970,
we got the AMC Gremlin,

which "MotorTrend" magazine
called

one of history's dorkiest cars.

The Gremlin was named
after a magical creature

known for destroying
machinery.

And it looked like
someone lopped off

the back half
of an AMC Hornet,

which is kinda what they did.
[laughs]

Another case of the uglies from
American Motors Corporation

came out in 1975
with the AMC Pacer.

Almost as half as wide
as it was long,

with giant, bulbous,
wraparound windows,

many were quick
to point out that

the Pacer looked like
a fishbowl on wheels.

Today, it is perhaps
best remembered

as the car
from "Wayne's World,"

which I actually bought
several years ago

just so I could headbang along
to "Bohemian Rhapsody."

[laughs]

No list of weird cars
would be complete

without the world-famous
Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

Created in 1936,
it was the brainchild

of Oscar's nephew, Carl Mayer.

And almost 90 years later,

the Wienermobile
is still going strong.

The average Wienermobile
travels

about 20,000 miles each year.

Now, if you think
a 27-foot-long Wienermobile

is odd, check out what my shoe
repair guy drives around town.

- OK.

That is a old-looking gun.

- Very, very old.

It's a 1886 Kropatschek.

- A what?

- 1886 Kropatschek.

- Yeah, say that
three times fast.

[laughter]

- I'm here to sell my model
1886 Kropatschek rifle.

I know it's a Portuguese rifle

that was made
for the Portuguese military.

And just overall,
it's kind of just a weird gun

that you don't usually see.

If I can make some cash today,

I wouldn't mind using
a little bit of it towards

my college and maybe
some investing as well.

I'm hoping to get $1,000 today
for the gun.

- This is interesting.

Do you know exactly what it is?

- So to my best understanding,
it's a Portuguese rifle

that they used from 1886
to about 1898.

- 1886?
- Yes.

- That makes it impressive,
because I didn't even know

there was such thing
as a bolt-action rifle in 1886.

- I didn't either,
until I found it.

- It's got to be one
of the very first ones,

because I've never even
heard of this thing.

- Gun-wise, this one
was kind of one

of the major technologically
advanced ones that they had.

- For 1886, this is amazing.

The United States Army in 1884,

our standard-issue rifle
was a single shot.

You would push a little lever
and the top would pop open

and a spent shell casing
would pop out.

Then you'd reach into your
pocket and put another one in

and push it back down to fire.

That's 1884
in the United States.

This is 1886.

The multi-shot gun was,
like, just a game changer.

And I can tell it's got
the tubular magazine,

which was made popular
by Winchester.

I think it's cool,

but I don't know anything
about it.

So where did you get it?

- Me and my dad used
to collect antique firearms.

And we went to a gun show
a long time ago

and just found this one
sitting up on the rack

and just couldn't pass it by.

- OK.

How much do you want for it?

- I was hoping
to get 1,000 for it.

- You know, rarely am I
stumped, especially on guns.

But this one's sort of got me.

[laughs] Let me get
a hold of someone

who knows what this thing is,
because I'm kind of baffled.

I don't know anything about it.

So if you don't mind
hanging out for a few minutes,

let me give my buddy a call.

He'll come down here.

He'll look at it,
and we'll go from there.

- Perfect. Sounds great.
- OK? All right.

Be right back.
- Thank you.

♪ ♪

- I have a customer here
with four themed dresses

from the Dress Shop
located in Disneyland.

Before I make an offer,

I would like to have our
Disney guru, Patrick Jenkins,

take a look at these
and let me know

if this deal
is dressed for success.

- Hey, Chum.
How's it going?

- I'm good.
How you doing, Patrick?

- Hi. How's it going?

- Hi, I'm Nicole.
- Nice to meet you.

- So Nicole has
this collection of dresses.

I think they're all
from the Disney shop.

- Yeah, the dresses are
really popular right now.

There's that DisneyBounding,
where people like to dress

as reminiscent
of the characters.

Fans started making their own.

And Disney said,
"We can make our own."

- Let's make the money
ourselves.

- Exactly.

- Disney has a huge culture,

and it's more than just a park.

I think you know that...
- Exactly.

- More than I do.

- It's--it's a lifestyle
for--for a lot of us.

- So I absolutely love
these dresses.

She's asking a lot of money
for 'em, and I just was unsure.

I know Disney stuff
can get pretty crazy.

- So going through
each of them,

the Tiki Room dress is gorgeous
and it's really popular.

In fact, there's
actually a meetup

that will wear
their Tiki Room dress,

get a group picture of it.

The Orange Bird, which are
these two here,

when Walt Disney World opened,
one of the corporate sponsors

was the Florida Citrus Council.

They were promoting
Florida oranges.

And they created
this adorable bird

who had happy thoughts--
"orange thoughts"

is what they said,
and it has been

some of the most popular
merchandise

that they've done
in recent years.

And then, this last one, which
is themed to Haunted Mansion--

but not so directly,

because you don't even
see the character.

The only thing is the parasols.

But you look at it
and you say, "Yes,

"that's the ballerina who's
walking across the tightrope

with the alligator
snapping at her."

- How easy are these to sell
if I get them?

Are people out there searching
to buy these dresses?

- They're limited,

so they usually sell out
within a couple of weeks.

And then there's people who
see another lady wearing them

and says, "Oh,
I wanna own that."

- What kind of value
do they have?

- The Tiki Room dress
sells for 300.

The Orange Bird dresses
are 250 each.

And then you're looking
at about 200 for this,

because this is
much more recent.

- All right.
Well, I think that's everything

I need to know.
Always a pleasure.

- Right. Take care.
- Thank you.

- Thanks, Patrick.
- Good luck.

- Thank you.

- All right, not quite
at that $4,000 price.

I would do 400 and let you keep
this one, if you want.

- OK.
- OK.

- That's fair.

- So I'll do those three
for 400.

I'll fold this one up for you.
- OK.

- I'm not the best folder,
but--

- [laughs] You tried.

- You can take that with you...
- Thank you.

- And I will meet you
at the counter over here...

- All right.
- And we'll write you up

$400 for these today.

- Perfect. Thank you.
- Thank you.

[upbeat rock music]

- There's a guy in the shop
with what he says

is an 1886 rifle used
by the Portuguese Army.

It's a really unusual style
that I don't know much about,

and he's asking for $1,000.

I've asked
our weapons expert, Alex,

to come down
and take a look at this

so I'm not taking a shot
in the dark on this.

- I'm Alex.
- Nice to meet you.

Mason.
- Nice to meet you.

- It's the Von
Kropaso-something.

[laughter]

- Kropatschek.

So the guy who designed this
was Alfred von Kropatschek.

And he was a general
in the Austrian Army,

and he experimented with lots
of different designs

for firearms.

These are actually really
underappreciated by collectors,

because this particular design
really influenced

many, many firearms
that came after it.

The problem with this gun is,
nobody bought this gun.

No military wanted it.

But there was one country
who at the very end decided

to order some,
and that was the Portuguese.

Now, the Portuguese
weren't fighting anybody,

but they did have colonies
in Africa.

So they used them down there

for their colonization
purposes.

By 1889,
they stopped making them.

So there weren't
that many made,

and it's really difficult
to find ammunition for this.

So even if you said,
"Hey, let's go fire it,"

we can't fire it today,
because I don't have that ammo.

So do you mind
if I check it out?

- Go right ahead.
- OK.

So this crown is the King
of Portugal, King Luís.

So that's his crown.

And then back here it says
1886, which is the model.

This actually has
a tube magazine.

So this is nickel-plated steel,
this magazine,

and eight rounds
can get loaded into here.

So the idea is
underneath there, Rick,

you can see the magazine tube.

So you'd actually load eight
into this way.

And then each time you fire,
the magazine will then snap up,

eject one, put another one in--
in the chamber and keep going.

- All right, so what
do you think it's worth?

- This is actually in nice
shape for one of these things.

They're known sort of
as a dark rifle.

So they always have
this very dark stock,

a bright metal bolt.

Overall, it's nice condition.

So about $1,000.

- OK.
- Plus or minus a little.

- All right.
Thanks, man.

- All right. You're welcome.
Good luck.

- Thank you very much.
- Nice to meet you.

- Thank you.

- OK, so you heard him.

And I'll give you,
like, 600 bucks for it.

It's kind of an oddball.

It's gonna sit around
for a while.

I gotta find the right person
to buy it, but--

- Are you able to come up
at all?

Maybe, like, 800?

- 650.

- 700?
- 650.

There's collectors out there,

eventually the right person'll
walk in the door.

But it's probably
gonna take a while.

- 675?

- All right, we got a deal.
- Perfect. Thank you.

- OK.

Just go right over
to the counter over there

and I'll get you written up.

- Perfect. Thank you.

I'm really happy with the deal
I made with Rick today,

just because I only really paid
150 bucks for it.

So I'm making a lot
of money on my end,

and hopefully he'll be able
to make some on his.

they were giving out

from 1982.

And then we have
a Nike boat kit from 1985.

This is an inflatable boat.

- So yeah, between '82 and '85
they signed Michael Jordan,

which meant they were broke.

today

to sell two very rare
Nike items.

these items at auction

over a decade ago.

on unusual Nike items

and $5,000 for the boat.

If I can make a deal today,

But how do I know they're the
rarest things Nike ever had?

You ever see
these things, Chum?

- Uh, not the boat.

But I have seen the briefcase.

- There's definitely a handful
of briefcases out there.

This is one of the only ones
you're gonna see

that was never used, still has
all the original tags.

If you watch the latest Michael
Jordan movie that came out,

you'll see
these briefcases throughout.

- OK. So what can you tell me
about the boat?

- Yeah, the boat, as far
as I know, was given

to employees in 1985
as an employee gift.

Now, in 1985,
Nike obviously didn't have

nearly as many employees
as they have now.

You're never gonna find one
that has never been inflated.

- I mean, even in the '80s when
they were a smaller company,

they were still doing
cool things,

like, for their employees.

I also heard that these would
have been given to the people

who were going around
trying to promote

the new Nikes
that would be coming out.

Because at this time,
Nike wasn't Nike as we know it.

They were still

$7,500 for the briefcase

and I would take $5,000
for the boat.

- Oh, wow. I don't see it.

I'm gonna pass on the boat.

I just imagine Phil Knight
was giving this out

at some kind of company event
or something.

Chum, you seem to know more
about the briefcase.

It's up to you.

- So I think the briefcase
is cool.

I've never seen one sell
for more than $1,000.

For a buyer, I'd have to be at,
like, 650 bucks.

I'd love to buy it.

- The only way
I would take $650

is maybe if we can
go inflate this boat,

take it out to Lake Mead
and see if you can float in it.

- All right, well,

Thanks so much.

Shyvers Multiphone

made in Seattle, Washington.

- It's obviously R2-D2.

♪ ♪

- I'm at Gold and Silver Pawn
in Las Vegas

selling a Shyvers Multiphone.

I restored it by basically
taking it all apart,

cleaning it up, polishing
the aluminum cabinet,

and putting
new grill cloth in it.

At one time they were
kind of plentiful.

But they have kind of
dispersed all over the world,

and now they're--they're
pretty rare.

I'm asking $2,000 for it.

- What makes these things
so cool, I mean,

it's just such classic
1930s art deco,

the way they designed it.

- It says Multiphone.

There's no way it's a phone.

- There's two phones
in this thing.

Jukeboxes--they could only
hold, like, 20, 30 records.

Whereas this thing,
they could have as many records

as they wanted because there
was a central library

where they put the record
on a record player

for that phone line.

You know,
so it saved the expense

of having a big, giant jukebox,

and there was less maintenance
involved

and everything like that.

- How do you talk?

- Basically,
this was a transceiver.

Put your nickel in.
You talked into there.

A beautiful hostess
on the other end would say,

"Number, please."

You'd tell her the number
according to the chart,

and they'd play the--the music
over this speaker here.

- There's no way you could know

what the other person
looked like.

[laughs]
- I don't know.

If I heard your voice,
I would know

exactly what you looked like.

- OK.

It was really,
really innovative.

But back then,
phone lines were basically

a copper wire all the way from,

you know,
wherever the phone was at

to the distribution system.

And then, basically
a copper wire

with a bunch of splices
to wherever this was at.

And the insulation
wasn't great,

and your phone calls would
have been a little staticky.

So the sound quality
was definitely worse

than a jukebox.

- Exactly, and that's kind of

one of the demises of this.

In the '50s,
they developed jukeboxes

that played 200 selections.

They sounded better.

And these kind of got
pushed out of the market.

- Why did you get
a Shyvers Multiphone?

- Well, it's something
that I find interesting.

I've been a jukebox collector
for 50 years,

and this is just an interesting
part of the jukebox history.

- You obviously
replaced the fabric.

- Yeah, the fabric's been
replaced, it's been polished.

- Yeah.
- So there's the side arm.

And there's the transceiver,
which you talked into

and also heard
the hostess talked back.

This speaker here is
strictly for the music.

- OK. So how much
you want for it?

- I'm asking 2,000.

- I'll give you 1,500 for it.

I mean, they sell.
They're popular.

I mean, it's sort of,

People love 'em.

I'll give you 1,700 bucks
