- On tonight's episode,
my mind is bent

when I check out a rare set
of guitars.

- This is a B-bender, right?

- Yes, as far as I know, the
only B-bender that Gibson made.

- I mean, I've heard
of these things.

I've never actually seen one.

And will Corey be ready
to fork over the cash

for a set of flatware?

- In 1950, you were really,
really cool if you had this.

And the more elaborate
your flatware set was,

the bigger status
symbol that you had.

- While later, Chum squawks
at the chance to make

a deal on a rare cannon.

- I have a Civil War
Parrott cannon.

- One of the things
that jumps out to me,

I see a little bit of a line.

This was cast as two halves.

♪ ♪

- What have we got?

- We've got a sled from
the movie "Citizen Kane."

- Rosebud.
- That's right.

This is the ultimate
prop of all time.

- Some people consider this
the greatest movie ever.

That's so arguable because

I believe it's either
"Godfather Part II"

or "Anchorman."

[laughter]

- I'm at the pawn shop
today to sell my Rosebud sled

from movie "Citizen Kane."

About 10 years ago,
I was at an estate sale

in Beverly Hills
when I saw the sled.

And what made me curious
about this particular sled

is there was a famous
auction house that

I saw that sold one in 1996.

And this one looked
similar to that one

that I saw in that auction.

I would like to get
$100,000

for this particular
Rosebud sled.

- This is interesting.

You know Rosebud, right?

- I think I pretty much
know what the movie's about.

- It was a really good
movie for its time.

It was directed and produced
by Orson Welles, 1941.

So the movie was about
Charles Foster Kane,

gazillionaire and everything,

and his dying words were
"Rosebud."

In the end of the movie,
you realize the one time

he was really happy when he was
a child with his sled, Rosebud.

- OK, I get it.

You got the Holy Grail
of movie props here.

You got to tell me
how you got it.

- I did get it at an estate
sale in Beverly Hills.

It was from a high-end
executive from a movie studio.

And from what I researched,

there's three of these
that exist.

There's one in
the Academy Museum

that Steven Spielberg donated.

There's one that sold
at Christie's,

which I believe this one
to be that one.

About 30 years ago,
it sold for over $200,000.

And then there's another one,

which I have no idea
where that one is.

- So you're saying
this was the one

that sold at Christie's
for over $200,000?

- There is a reason that
I say that because

this is a picture of the one

that sold at the
Christie's auction.

And if you notice,
there's a broken

right tip that matches
exactly this one

that you have in front of you.

- OK.

So how much are
you looking to get?

- I'm looking to get $100,000.

- All right,
I'm just letting you know,

if this is the real Rosebud,
it would go

for probably
a couple million dollars.

But here's the big problem.

This is different than
the picture you showed me.

Pull that out.
I'll show you real quick.

No pin striping on the side.

It's different.

- I just thought it was real
because of where I got it.

- I wish it was real.
We would make a deal.

We'd both get rich
off this thing.

But, like, it's--
it's not the one.

I appreciate you
bringing it down, though.

It was really cool.
- Have a good day, man.

- All right,
have a good one, man.

- Thank you.

♪ ♪

- Hello.
- How are you?

- I'm pretty good.
Hold on a second here.

That looks heavy.
- It's heavy.

- There you go.

Well, you don't
have to be a genius

to know this is a cannon.

But tell me what you have here.

- I have a Civil War era
Parrott cannon.

- Parrott cannon?

I don't know
exactly what it is,

but I'm not an
expert on cannons.

Are you like a cannon guy or do
you just like all cool stuff?

- I like all cool stuff.

I'm an impulse buyer.
[laughter]

- Aren't we all?

- I'm here to sell a
Civil War Parrott cannon.

The cannon weighs roughly
between 45 to 55 pounds.

It's solid bronze.

I purchased the cannon about
seven years ago at an auction.

My asking price is $10,000.

- OK, that's pretty cool.

So, I mean,
cannons are definitely

an important part of history.

They served many
different purposes.

This one looks like it was
probably mounted up somewhere,

like right here by this
and on a swivel mount

so you could project it
the way you wanted to.

At first glance, I would
think it's maybe a little bit

older than Civil War, you know,
maybe 1700s, instead of 1800s.

So it's definitely got
some good weight to it.

I do have a few concerns
about it, mostly the patina,

that it's very patinaed
on this side,

and it's very, very
shiny on this side.

When you get an old
cannon like this,

you really want to
see the patina on it.

Especially if this is, you know,
several hundred years old,

I want to look at it and know
it's several hundred years old.

So when you bought this,

what information
did you get about it?

- Basically, they just said
it was in the Civil War era.

- OK. And have you ever
fired it?

- Never have.
- OK.

I would love to
know if it fired.

- I would too.

- So do you have
a price in mind?

- I have a price of $10,000.

- Well, I don't know if that's
a good price or a bad price.

I've definitely seen cannons
sell for less than that

and much, much more than that.

If you have time, I'd love to
have my antique firearm expert,

Alex, come down, take a look at
it, and after he evaluates it,

he's going to be able
to give us a price.

- Sounds great.

- All right,
give me a few minutes.

I'm going to call him,
and I'm sure he

can be down here pretty quick.
- Thank you.

♪ ♪

- Hello.

What are those?

These are the biggest shoes
I've ever seen.

- Those were worn by
Shaquille O'Neal

in the 2002 finals against
the New Jersey Nets,

where he won MVP,
highest average,

almost 40 points per game.

He dominated.
- This is really cool.

I just never realized that
he would have shoes that big.

This is where little
Mother Hubbard lived.

[laughter]

- I'm here at the pawn shop
to sell my 2002 finals

game-worn shoes by
Shaquille O'Neal.

They're size 22.

They're huge.

They must weigh close
to five pounds each.

I've had the shoes
for over 20 years now.

And they're in a
glass case when you walk

into the entry in my door
so everybody can see them.

My asking price for
the Shaquille O'Neal shoes

is $15,000.

- This is pretty cool, man,
Shaquille O'Neal.

I mean, like, the guy
is the GOAT, yeah,

just incredible businessman,
incredible basketball player,

MVP multiple times.

He was on the Lakers,
won the National Championship

three times.

You can just go on and on
about this guy,

I mean, like storied life.

I mean,
and I've never met him,

but I know people who have
met him and said

he's like the sweetest guy
in the world.

And I'm still absolutely amazed
at the size of these shoes.

And what size?

Are they just--is it just
size ginormous at this point?

- Size 22.

- And what brand are they?

- I believe they're
made by Reebok.

- They're kind of epic.

- To me, it's like the
eighth wonder of the world.

I've never seen
anything like it.

I had to have them.

- Where did you get these?

- I got these at a
memorabilia show in LA.

- And this is the paperwork
you have on them?

- Yes, sir.
- Can I take a look at it?

- Absolutely.

- I mean, you have paperwork
here saying that they've

been photo matched.

I'm not real big on
photo matching shoes,

just due to the
fact that, you know,

how do you really
photo match shoes

when all shoes look alike?

You know what I mean?

I mean, the amazing
thing is there's--

I mean, how many pairs did
they make in this size?

Which I'm assuming,
like, next to none.

And so how much
do you want for them?

- $15,000.

- OK.

All right, let me call up
my sports guy

to take a look at them,
all right?

I just want to make sure
everything is legit, you know?

And also, size matters.

[chuckles] All right,
give me like five minutes.

I'm going to go call my guy.

And we'll get this figured out.

- OK.
Sounds good.

♪ ♪

- There's a guy in
the shop with what

he claims is a
Civil War Parrott cannon,

and he's asking $10,000.

I don't know
exactly what it is.

So Alex Cranmer is
heading over to help me

gather some more
information before

I think about making an offer.

Here we go, Alex.

- I'm Alex.
- I'm Jim.

Nice to meet you.
- My pleasure.

- So, Jim, why don't you
tell Alex what you have here?

- I have a Civil War
Parrott cannon.

- OK.

- A little bit
of concerns I had

was the different color
on the top and the bottom.

But other than that, Alex,
I got nothing for you.

- Where did you get it?

- I bought it at an auction.

- OK, so during the Civil War,
there was

an American officer named
Parrott who developed

a type of cannon
that was rifled.

So inside the bore,
there's literally a channel.

And when the projectiles move
through it, they start to spin.

A projectile that's spinning
will tend to go straighter.

So Parrott developed
the Parrott rifle,

which was
really a cannon in 1860

and patented in 1861.

And it became more or less
the standard cannon

of the American Civil War.

But this has nothing to do
with the Parrott gun.

So a Parrott gun
would be much larger.

It would be made of iron.

And this is made of bronze,
from its appearance,

and it's much older.

So the style of this
cannon is really

much more of an
18th century cannon

from the Revolutionary War.

The question is,
is it authentic?

It's OK to pick it up?

- Yes, sir.

- I just want to get
an idea of the weight.

- So one of the things
that jumps out to me about

this piece is if
I look from the breech,

which means the back,
I see a little bit of a line

right across the breech.

And then that line continues.

And you can see it here at
the first reinforcement ring.

And then I can
see it again here.

So what this is indicating is
this was cast as two halves.

You've got the lower half, and
I slap the top half on top.

And that's not how
cannons were made.

A real cannon would
have been made solidly.

And then they would have
drilled out the bore

and then drilled in
the touch hole.

- Right.
- It would make it stronger.

If you tried to
fire this with

two pieces being
fused together,

chances are it would
blow right apart.

So what we have here is
a reproduction cannon.

This could have been made
from the late 19th century

all the way up into the 1980s.

I'm sorry to break
that news to you.

- Yeah.

- All right,
if this was a, you know,

authentic time period cannon,
what do they go for?

- You're certainly in the many
thousands of dollars range.

As it is,
it's a few hundred dollars.

- All right, thanks, Alex.

- All right.
Nice to meet you.

- Thank you.
- Good luck.

- All right, well, I'm going
to have to pass on it today.

And if you like it, keep it
and display it at your home.

But thanks for
coming out today.

- Well, thank you very much.
- My pleasure.

- A guy came to the shop with
a pair of size 22 sneakers

that he says was worn
by Shaquille O'Neal

during the 2002 NBA Finals.

And the seller is
asking for $15,000.

I have my sports expert,
David Kohler,

coming down to take a look.

And he's going to let me
know if this deal

is a slam dunk or a foul.

- Hello, hello.
How are you, Rick?

- Doing fabulous.

Hello, I'm David.
- Hi.

Rich.
- Nice to meet you.

- Just so you know, these are
not the Jolly Green Giants.

[laughter]

He says they're Shaq shoes.

- They're very large.

What a player--
four-time champion,

three times with the Lakers
in the three-peat,

that team with Kobe Bryant
and Derek Fisher.

They won in 2000,
and 2001, and 2002,

probably one of
the best big men

in the game that's ever played,
without a doubt.

- OK. So are these his shoes?

- Can I touch them?
- Absolutely.

- Can I look at them?
- Yeah.

- These are his--

yes, these are his shoes,
like we said,

very large, size 23,
probably, 22.

This is his line,
which we call Dunk.

So he had his own line that
was getting made, Shaq did.

A lot of times, he'd have
his number on the bottom,

number 34, which he was.

They don't make replicas
and things like that.

So examining these,
definitely,

those are game-worn, game-used
Shaquille O'Neal shoes.

- Yeah, I mean,
he's got paperwork.

It's a photo match
paperwork,

not real confident on
photo matching on shoes,

but like, he does have
some paperwork there.

- The one thing that does
hit me here, it does say here,

attribution to the finals.

You know, that's not
100% guaranteed.

These could have been
worn in the finals.

I wouldn't bet my life on that.

But at a minimum, they're real.

They're authentic.

But I could not say
100% confidence

that these were actually
worn in the finals.

- So what do you
think they're worth?

- I think these are worth
probably about $5,000.

If you had a
conclusive photo match,

I would say the values would
be, you know, north of that.

But in my opinion,
they're worth about $5,000.

- I don't--
[laughs]

I'm just blown away
because I have

hundreds of pictures from the
finals with him in those shoes.

When I bought them from
the Lakers directly,

they wrote in the finals
on the certificate.

There's no question.

- So do you have any paperwork
from the Lakers with you?

- No.

The group that was selling them
had the Lakers banner

and they said they were
contracted or whatever.

They had a lot of Lakers
memorabilia in there.

- I haven't seen any
paperwork from the Lakers

and all that, too.

So if there is that paperwork,
then that obviously would help

with a lot of this evaluation.

- All right.
Thanks, Dave.

- All right.
Thanks, Rick.

All the best.
- All right, thanks.

- Thank you.

- It's a third party
saying that it happened.

So, I mean, unless you
have something directly

from the Lakers,
it's going to be

really hard to prove that these
were worn in the playoffs.

And I'll give you,
like, $3,000 for them.

- Wow.
I'm speechless.

I mean, there's hundreds
and hundreds of pictures

that they're identical
to what's in the finals.

Photo Match is one of the
biggest companies out there

that do this.

- Right here,
they're saying attributed.

- Mm-hmm.
- They're saying most likely.

They're not saying 100%.
- Right.

- There's a difference.

We're talking--
we're talking maybe

a thousand-dollar difference
if they were in the finals.

Obviously, we're not
going to make a deal.

But thanks for
bringing them in.

I'm very disappointed
we weren't able to make

an offer or a deal.

It wasn't even close
to what I know

they're really, truly worth.

They would make a really cool
art installation here.

These are tsubas.

And they would go on,
like, a Japanese sword.

- A what-a?
- So basically,

it's a piece that would go
between the handle

And it would have a few
different functions.

One would be it would
protect your hand

from someone else's sword.

And also it was kind of
a connection point

to make everything secure

you know, put together
without moving around.

But these ones are
actually pretty cool.

some really cool stuff

at the pawn shop

because I have three
guitars that I think they'll

really be interested in.

The Gibson B-bender is
one of only 400 ever made.

The Mosrite Celebrity is
50-something years old.

It's hard to find them
in this kind of shape.

And a custom-painted
Fender Stratocaster,

there's only three of them
in the entire world.

I'd love to walk away with
$24,000 for the three.

If I'm able to
sell these guitars,

I will immediately
start building

my dream recording studio.

- These are really cool.

I mean, like--
this is a B-bender, right?

- Yes, and as far as I know,

the only B-bender
that Gibson made.

A B-bender mechanism actually
pulls the B string tighter,

raising the pitch,

most likely used
in country music.

However, Gibson guitars were
mostly used in rock and roll.

- I mean, I've heard
of these things.

I've never actually seen one.

- Yeah, so the
Gibson is a 2013.

- And that was done
by the factory?

- Yes, that's a--that's a
factory Gibson mechanism.

Then we have this 1967
Mosrite Celebrity here.

- That is a cool brand.

It was started by
a guy named Moseley,

and then he got
financial backing

from a guy named Boatright,
so they made Mosrite.

- You know,
I did not know that.

- Yeah.
That's how they got together.

I mean, the company was
just jamming in the 1960s.

I mean, like they were making
a thousand guitars a month.

- No kidding.

- And the way
I understood it was this

is the guitar of the Ventures
and even into the Ramones.

They love that heavy
reverb dripping,

like made you feel like you're
hanging 10 on a longboard.

- OK.

- And then this is a guitar
commissioned by Fender.

- I mean,
everybody knows about Fender,

I mean, started by Leo Fender.

First guitar was the
Broadcaster

and then the Stratocaster,
you know.

- Yep.

- The original rock and roll
guitar, you know, Jimi Hendrix.

It's cool, but like--

but that's a factory
Gibson paint job?

- No, no.

This is a custom hand-painted
paint job by Justin Bower.

So Fender found Justin's art.

He paints paintings
and actually pottery.

And they commissioned him
to do three guitars.

One belongs to Axl Rose.

The other one is in
a gallery in Japan.

And we have the
third one right here.

- Interesting.
- I thought so.

- Yeah.

All right, the big question--

what do you want
for these things?

- The Gibson's $2,500.

The Mosrite's only $1,500.

But the Fender is $20,000.

has been such an enticing
platform for artwork.

You've got, you know,
Jimi Hendrix, Monterey Pop.

those really evocative

art guitars for Eric Clapton.

So there's a good lineage
of make your Stratocaster

as weird and as wild
as possible.

- Sure.

- What do you think
these two would go for?

- Well, on the Gibson,
in its current condition,

around $1,800.

And on the Mosrite Celebrity,
I feel really good

about $1,500 for that one.

And this--what was the

only thing I can index this off

of is the Eric Clapton
Crash Stratocasters,

which were played
out by Clapton,

so there's a whole extra
layer attached to that--

but those I've seen
priced at around $30,000.

So that's a lot of work.

So this is actually one
of the nicer pieces.

And you can see how
heavy this piece is here.

- I did hold that one.

[dings]

It's got a good--

- A nice ring to it.

So this is a very
well-made piece.

- OK.
- And--

it also--did you
notice the writing on it?

- I did.
A couple of them have--

- Right.

And that tells us where it was
made and who it was made by.

- Are you familiar
with that name?

Yes.

I actually know this maker.

He worked quite
often in the 1800s.

It's Namitoshi.

And he's actually a
well-known tsuba maker.

And then the rest of these
have condition issues,

like this has damage
on the back right here.

So unfortunately, that
kind of degrades the value.

- How much do you think
this collection is worth?

- Well, you have
quite a varying bit

of quality and condition,

but I would say
$5,000 would be--

- What?
- Yeah.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

- I change my offer.

- All right, well, I appreciate
you coming out, Mike.

- Hey, anytime.
- All right, thank you.

- Thank you.
- I'll see you.

- Nice to meet you.

- All right, so $350 it is.

- I think we could do
a little better than that.

- How about I add a 0 to it
and give you $3,500.

I think that seems pretty fair.

- Would you go to $4,000?

- I'll go 4,000 on them.

We got a deal.
- Awesome. Thank you.

- You can just come up here,
and I'll get you paid.

- Hey, how's it going?
- Hi. Good.

- Well, we have flatware here.

Is it silver?
- Stainless steel.

- Stainless steel.
- Japanese stainless steel.

- This was the set
of flatware that you bought

because you didn't want
to be like your parents.

- Which I can relate to.
- [laughs]

- I'm at the pawn shop
today to sell

my 1950s Carl Aubock flatware.

I found my set of flatware
at a thrift store in my area

in Southern California.

They look great, but
actually using them

wasn't the most
functional, so I figured,

why not try to get
some money for them?

Based on my research,
I would like to maybe get

around five grand for the set.

- This is pretty cool.

I mean, in 1950,
you were really,

really cool if you had this.

You know, people
didn't have cell phones

and app stores
and stuff like that

to waste their money on.

They had dinner parties.

And the more elaborate
your flatware set was,

was the bigger status
symbol that you had.

I mean, I've seen it all
the way down to the onion

and the pickle fork, you know,
the salt spoons and everything

like that, where, I mean,
it just goes on and on and on,

to where you got, you know,
27, 37 pieces

in an entire dinner set.

Do you mind if I pick a piece
up and take a look at it?

- No.
Go for it.

- And they're Aubock, right?

- Carl Aubock is the designer.

- Stainless steel from
Japan, definitely 1950s,

mid-century modern.

So how many pieces total?

- 46 total.

- OK.

What are you trying
to get out of this?

- Well, I did a
little bit of research

to figure out what they were.

And I did find a couple
listings for a full set

going for around five grand.

- All right.

It doesn't look like a
full set because there's

no serving spoons.

I mean, I've seen full sets
go for around $1,200

and actually sell for that.

That being said, if I'm
going to sell flatware,

it's going to have to
be the silver stuff

because that's the
only stuff I've ever

been able to sell in my life.

It's just way too much
of a niche market.

I do appreciate you
bringing it in, though.

- Yeah.
- Well, have a good day.

I see the name.

Tell me about them.

- This right here is a set of
General Eisenhower's clubs

got from him.

My father-in-law was
a golf pro at Fort Meade,

where President Eisenhower
came and golfed several times.

- You know,
my dad once told me,

find out what you're
not good at in this life

and don't do that.

So I just stopped playing golf.
[laughter]

Really cool.

I mean,
it's Dwight D. Eisenhower.

A five-star general is the
highest rank you can get.

And that rank only
exists during wartime.

I mean, he was the
supreme commander.

This is the guy who defeated
Germany in World War II.

And he was a pretty
amazing president.

I mean, we have the interstate
highway system because of him.

He's definitely in the top 10
presidents we ever had.

The clubs are even
cast with his signature

in it and the five stars.

- Yeah.

- Now, tell me exactly how
your father-in-law got these.

- My father-in-law was a golf
pro at Fort Meade in Maryland.

President Eisenhower used to
go there and golf quite a bit,

got to know my father-in-law,
and turned around

and gave it to him as a gift.

- So this is your
father-in-law?

- That's my father-in-law.

There's President Eisenhower.

And that right there is
retired General Parks.

- OK.
I believe they're his.

- Yeah.

- I wish we had some more
documentation and the history

on them and things like that.

- How much do you want
for them?

- $100,000.
- $100,000.

That'd be tough.

He had one set that sold
for over $100,000.

But that was his custom-made
set that was at Augusta.

And there's all this
documentation on it.

This is not that set.
- No.

- When you have something
like this, it's one-of-a-kind.

- It is.
- People buy the story.

And I got to have the story.

And I got to prove the story.

I mean, if there was a letter
or something like that,

it'd be kind of a game-changer.

- Yeah.
- But my number is, like,

$20,000.
- OK.

Rick, I'll have
to pass on that.

But I definitely
appreciate the offer.

- Thank you for coming in.

- Thank you.
- I really appreciate it.

There you go.
- Thank you.

- Presidents are people
just like the rest of us.

And at the end of a long day
of running the free world,

they need to kick
back and clear

their heads as much as anyone.

Since the dawn of
the presidency,

these guys have each
managed to squeeze

in time for their secret
or not-so-secret hobbies.

For instance, the OG,
George Washington,

when he wasn't putting in place
the pieces of a new democracy,

he was probably busy
cutting some serious rug.

Firsthand accounts claim he was

"Dancing With the Stars"
level good,

always the center of
attention at a party.

Since childhood,
FDR was a serious

stamp-collecting addict.

And when he fell
ill with polio,

working on his stamp
collection helped pass

the lonely hours
spent by himself.

As president, he spent
up to an hour a day

looking at and adding
to his collection.

Richard and
First Lady Pat Nixon

loved bowling so much
that they had

a one-lane bowling alley
installed in the

White House basement in 1969.

Tricky Dick sported
an average of 170

and would roll up to
eight games a night,

a number that would make
the Big Lebowski proud.

President Barack Obama
was a serious hooper.

He regularly scheduled
pick-up games at 1600 Penn,

including a game at his
50th birthday celebration

that included WNBA player
Maya Moore

and NBA players
Chauncey Billups

and Chris Paul.

Talk about a
star-studded affair.

You know, I look
pretty presidential.

I don't think there's
ever been a motorcycle riding,

avid collector,

Oregon mountain man,
prodigious pawnbroker.

My asking price is $14,000 for

Mutoscope,
the name is called scope

because they used
to make short films

for the coin-operated
machines they used.

A lot of old fairs and
stuff used to have them.

Basically, it's
they're all cast iron.

You put your face into it.

You turn the crank.

It's like a minute

It has a functionality.

The Snow White,
I'm asking $10,000,

It's commemorating, what,

the 50th anniversary

It's like, what, it was their

a wire struck into the metal,
into the silver.

It's between the letters
A and the N.

And the Congo coin,
there's only

three of those in the world.

- And so your Congo one is
a 50-year calendar coin. OK.

So, yeah,
what I'm assuming here

is, you know, you got to have
some kind of mechanics in here

to make this thing spin so you
can change the calendar around,

different dates and whatnot--

obviously, 50 years after
they got their independence.

And it's 10 francs.

OK, definitely pretty cool.

I mean, I haven't
seen one before,

but you said there's only
three in the world,

$3,000 on the Congo coin

of these things, man.

- That's right.

- OK, so I don't
know if there's

anybody out there really
collecting Snow White coins.

And I get
it's got a mint error,

but a mint error really
only matters to me

if it's on American currency.

You know, now, this Congo one,

I get the fact that
it's functional,

it's cool, it's super rare.

But once again,
it's a commemorative coin.

I hate to say it, man.

I mean, I'd give you
silver weight on it,

about $25 a piece.

- I can't do it.

coin-operated boxing game.

Nice to meet you.

- This is a really fancy
machine you have here, Kevin.

- Thank you.

- Rick, what can I tell
you about the machine?

- Everything.

- Everything?

Well, this company,
International Mutoscope,

started in the early 1900s.

Towards the end of their
run in the late 1950s,

they were mostly just
doing arcade machines.

This was one of the last
games that they produced.

So how long have you
owned this machine for?

- A couple of years now.

- And then did you buy the
machine restored

or did you have it
restored yourself?

- I bought it restored.
- OK.

Well, it looks like it's
in really great shape.

So can I take a little bit of
a closer look at the machine?

- Absolutely.
- OK, great.

So I can see just
a couple things

on the graphics here that
obviously have been redone.

The "KO" that's in the boxing
gloves, slightly smaller font

than the original version,
and then the "champ"

is also a little bit fatter,
more bubbly.

The biggest thing that
I'm noticing on this machine,

however, is the domed top.

So the original machines
came with a circular dome.

So a lot of times when you
do find these machines,

the original dome tops
will be broken,

cracked, yellowed with age.

This machine is close
to 75 years old.

So they obviously reproduced
this top for this one.

- OK.

So what do you
think it's worth?

- Looks like everything's,
you know, in very clean shape.

I would put the
value of this machine

in today's market at $11,500.

A collector is going to
want that original bubble.

- OK. Thanks, Dani.
You're the best.

- Thank you so much.
Good luck.

- Thanks.
Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- All right, you heard Dani.

And I'll give you $7,000.

It's very small market.

It's tough selling this stuff.

When I do sell it, I got to
pay guys to make a crate.

There's a lot of money involved
in selling one of these things.

$7,000.

- $10,000.

- I'd go $7,500.

I mean, hopefully,
they'll sell right away.

But if it doesn't
sell right away,

I might run into problems
a year from now, so...

- I'd probably do $8,000.
That's about as low as I'll go.

- $7,700.
