Pawn Stars (2009–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Getting a Head - full transcript

Male announcer: ON THIS
EPISODE OF PAWN STARS...

- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?

- IT'S A SHRUNKEN HEAD.
- OKAY.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT
YOU'D SEEN EVERYTHING.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE HERE?
- NO, I DON'T.

- THIS IS THE ONE THING EVERYONE
HOPES THEY'LL STUMBLE ACROSS

WHEN THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH GRANDMA'S STUFF.

YOU GOT TO BE ME.

- THIS MUST BE IT.
- 1969 BUICK SKYLARK.

- THIS MODEL IS PURE
MUSCLE CAR. IT'S A BEAST.

- IT'S KIND OF LIKE A BATMOBILE.



- DOES IT HANDLE
LIKE THE BATMOBILE?

- I'M RICK HARRISON, AND
THIS IS MY PAWN SHOP.

I WORK HERE WITH MY OLD
MAN AND MY SON, BIG HOSS.

EVERYTHING IN HERE
HAS A STORY AND A PRICE.

ONE THING I'VE
LEARNED AFTER 21 YEARS,

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS
GONNA COME THROUGH THAT DOOR.

WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?

- I'VE GOT SOMETHING YOU
MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.

- OH, MY GOD.

WHAT IN THE HELL DID
YOU DO WITH CHUMLEE?

- I CAME TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY

TO TRY AND SELL
MY SHRUNKEN HEAD.

I USED TO OWN A PAWN SHOP,

AND THIS GENTLEMAN
BROUGHT IT IN,



AND HE NEVER PICKED IT UP,

SO I'VE BEEN SAVING
IT ALL THESE YEARS.

HOPING TO GET $2,000, BUT
I WOULD SETTLE FOR $1,500.

- SO WHAT THE
HELL IS THIS THING?

- IT'S A SHRUNKEN HEAD.

- ALL RIGHT, WHERE IN
THE WORLD DID YOU GET IT?

- BASICALLY, SOMEONE
BROUGHT IT IN

AND PAWNED IT WITH ME.

- LET ME SEE HERE.

DID YOU GET ANY STORY
WITH HIM OR ANYTHING?

- I THINK HE SAID IT WAS
A LONG-LOST RELATIVE.

HOW MUCH DID YOU PAWN IT FOR?

- I GAVE HIM $500 FOR IT.

- OKAY.

I'VE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS
FOR OVER 20 YEARS,

AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS
IS MY FIRST SHRUNKEN HEAD.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT
YOU'D SEEN EVERYTHING.

THE SHRUNKEN HEADS
CAME FROM THE AMAZON,

YOU KNOW, IN SOUTH AMERICA.

THE PROCEDURE FOR DOING IT WAS,

THEY WOULD SLICE 'EM
DOWN THE BACK OF THE HEAD

AFTER THEY KILLED 'EM,

AND THEN THERE WAS A
WAY TO REMOVE THE SKULL.

SHRINKING A HEAD WAS
SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU CONTROL

OVER A GUY'S SOUL.

THE PROBLEM IS, TOURISTS
STARTED BUYING THEM.

THEN THE LAW OF SUPPLY
AND DEMAND KICKED IN, AND...

SO GOVERNMENTS IN SOUTH
AMERICA HAD TO OUTLAW THE TRADE.

I'M HAVING A FEW
LITTLE PROBLEMS HERE.

I DON'T THINK THE AMAZON
WARRIORS HAD COTTON THREAD.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE BACK OF
HIS HEAD IS STITCHED UP WITH.

IT DOESN'T LOOK VERY AGED, OKAY?

OUT IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE,
SOMEONE WOULD HAVE

CARRIED THIS THING AROUND
FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.

IT'S STILL WHITE.
- RIGHT.

- YOU KNOW, I'M
GONNA CALL IT A FAKE,

A VERY, VERY GOOD FAKE.

IF IT WAS REAL, THERE WOULD
BE SOME ROTTEN PLACES.

I MEAN, DON'T YOU
HOPE IT IS FAKE, SORT OF?

- WELL, I HOPE IT IS REAL,

BECAUSE THEN IT WILL
BE WORTH MORE MONEY.

- IF IT'S REAL, SOME POOR
GUY LOST HIS HEAD OVER IT.

I DON'T WANT IT IN THIS SHOP.
- OKAY.

THANKS FOR BRINGING IT
IN. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING
I COULDN'T USE.

WHEN HE SAID HE
WAS A PAWN BROKER,

I WAS IMMEDIATELY CONCERNED,
'CAUSE IF HE COULDN'T SELL IT,

THAT MEANS NO ONE WANTED
IT, AND THAT AIN'T GOOD.

CAN I HELP YOU?
- HI.

YEAH, I FOUND THIS.

I WAS CLEANING OUT
SOME DRAWERS AND STUFF.

MY MOTHER GAVE
IT TO ME YEARS AGO,

AND I WAS WANTING TO FIND
OUT HOW MUCH IT WAS WORTH.

- THING LOOKS CRAZY. WHAT IS IT?

- IT'S A BLACK WIDOW.
- IS IT POISONOUS?

- I JUST CAME TO THE PAWN
SHOP TODAY TO TRY TO SELL

MY GRANDMOTHER'S BROOCH
THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME YEARS AGO.

IT'S JUST A SPIDER BROOCH.

IT'S GOT A LOT OF
CRYSTALS AND STUFF ON IT.

I DON'T LIKE SPIDERS,

SO I JUST WANTED
TO GET RID OF IT.

- DO YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE?

- NO, NOT AT ALL.

- THIS IS FABERGE.

FABERGE WAS ONE
OF THE MOST FAMOUS

JEWELRY DESIGNERS IN THE WORLD.

HE WAS THE JEWELER
TO THE RUSSIAN COURT.

THIS IS... THIS IS
SOMETHING RIGHT HERE.

WHEN PEOPLE SAY "FABERGE,"
THEY MEAN PETER FABERGE,

ONE OF THE GREATEST
JEWELERS OF ALL TIME.

THIS GUY BECAME FAMOUS
FOR HIS FABERGE EGGS,

BUT HE ACTUALLY MADE EVERYTHING
FROM SILVERWARE TO NECKLACES

TO RINGS.

AND JUST ABOUT
ANYTHING HE TOUCHED

IS CONSIDERED A MASTERPIECE.

WHAT YOU HAVE HERE

IS PRE-REVOLUTION
RUSSIAN IMPERIAL JEWELRY.

THAT'S ONYX UNDERNEATH THERE.

THIS WHITE METAL RIGHT
HERE, THAT IS ALL PLATINUM.

THOSE ARE DIAMONDS.

THERE'S SAPPHIRES IN THE FEET.

THOSE ARE RUBIES IN THE EYES.

THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF
THAT ROYALTY WEARS,

AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WOMAN
HAD A FABERGE BROOCH

SITTING AROUND IN A
DRAWER SOMEWHERE.

THIS IS THE ONE THING EVERYONE
HOPES THEY'LL STUMBLE ACROSS

WHEN THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH GRANDMA'S STUFF.

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT?

- I WANT TO GET RID OF IT.

- AND HOW MUCH WERE YOU
LOOKING TO GET OUT OF IT?

- A COUPLE THOUSAND?
- OKAY.

UM...

I WOULD REALLY, REALLY
LIKE TO GIVE YOU, LIKE,

2,000 BUCKS FOR IT,

BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
I HAVE A CONSCIENCE.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL
CUT TO THE CHASE.

I'LL GIVE YOU $15,000 FOR IT.

OH, MY GOD. YOU GOT TO BE ME.

- NO, I'M NOT. IT'S...

THIS IS STUFF YOU DO
NOT SEE EVERY DAY.

- HOW ABOUT 17?

A MAN THAT'S
WILLING TO PAY 15,000

WILL DEFINITELY
PAY 17,000 FOR THAT.

- NO, HE WON'T. I
MEAN, LITERALLY...

- ALL RIGHT, HOW ABOUT 16?
- I WILL GIVE YOU 15.

THAT'S MORE THAN A
FAIR OFFER ON THIS.

- HOW ABOUT 15,500?

- THIS IS WHY I HATE
HAVING A CONSCIENCE.

THIS IS VEGAS,

AND I JUST TOLD THIS
WOMAN SHE HIT THE JACKPOT,

AND NOW SHE WANTS ANOTHER SPIN.

I CAN PAY YOU 15 GRAND.

THAT'S MORE THAN A
FAIR OFFER ON THIS.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING
THAT'S GONNA SELL OVERNIGHT.

- ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.

- OKAY.
- THANK YOU.

OH, MY GOD. I'M SO SHOCKED.

I MEAN, I COULDN'T BELIEVE
IT WAS WORTH $15,000.

I HIT THE JACKPOT TODAY.

- EARLIER TODAY, I
GOT A CALL FROM A GUY

LOOKING TO SELL A
MUSCLE CAR, SO RIGHT NOW,

CHUM AND I ARE ON OUR
WAY TO GO SEE WHAT HE'S GOT.

HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?
- HEY, HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING?

- SO THIS MUST BE IT, HUH?
- 1969 BUICK SKYLARK.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A BATMOBILE.

YOU KNOW, IT JUST HAS ALL
THESE CRAZY SHARP LINES

AND THE FENDER LOOPERS
AND THE CHROME SIDE SPEAR.

- DOES IT HANDLE
LIKE THE BATMOBILE?

- I DECIDED TO CALL THE
GUYS FROM THE SHOP TO SEE

IF THEY'D BE INTERESTED IN
BUYING MY 1969 BUICK SKYLARK.

I ACTUALLY FOUND IT
BEHIND A GROCERY STORE

AND DECIDED TO GO IN AND ASK
THE GUY IF HE WANTED TO SELL IT.

I SNATCHED IT UP.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BOY COMING,

AND I'M TRYING TO
DO THE RIGHT THING,

GET A FOUR-DOOR CAR.

AND I'M TRYING TO GET
AT LEAST 5,500 FOR IT.

I'D BE WILLING TO GO
DOWN AS FAR AS 4,000.

- SO WHAT ALL CAN
YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT?

- IT'S GOT A 350-CUBIC-INCH
V-8, A NEW TRANSMISSION.

THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT.

IT'S A GOOD, RELIABLE CAR.

THESE CARS ARE KNOWN
TO JUST GO FOREVER.

YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM DOWN.

- IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE
CLASSIC G.M. MUSCLE CARS.

IT'S JUST NOT THAT OFTEN
THAT YOU SEE A SKYLARK.

AND EVERYBODY
LIKES TO COLLECT 'EM,

SO IT'S A GOOD FIND.

G.M. MADE THE SKYLARK ON AND OFF

FROM THE '50s ALL THE
WAY THROUGH THE '90s.

THIS MODEL FROM THE LATE
'60s IS PURE MUSCLE CAR.

IT'S GOT THE SAME CHASSIS
AS A CHEVY CHEVELLE.

CAN YOU POP THE HOOD FOR ME?
- SURE.

- OH, MY GOD.

HOW MUCH MUSCLE
DOES THIS THING HAVE?

- YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 420.

IT'S ALSO GOT ABOUT 550
FOOT-POUNDS OF TORQUE.

- CAN YOU START IT UP FOR ME?
- SURE.

- WHOA.

- THIS THING IS A BEAST.

IF I CAN GET THIS THING
FOR A GOOD PRICE,

IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH FIXING UP.

I MEAN, COLLECTORS GO
CRAZY FOR THESE THINGS.

THE BODY'S IN DECENT SHAPE.

- YEAH, NOT BAD AT ALL.

NEEDS A LITTLE WORK
HERE AND THERE.

THIS WAS GNARLY
BEFORE WHEN I GOT IT.

I GUESS THE LADY HIT A
TREE THAT HAD IT BEFORE.

- MIND IF I OPEN IT UP?
- NOT AT ALL.

- IT LOOKS GOOD.

MAINLY IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S MOSTLY BODYWORK.

SO WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO
DO WITH IT, PAWN IT OR SELL IT?

- I'M LOOKING TO SELL IT.

- GIVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT
YOU'RE LOOKING TO GET.

- I WAS TRYING TO
GO FOR AROUND 5,500.

I CAN OFFER YOU AROUND 3 GRAND.

- IS THERE ANY WAY
YOU CAN GO 3,500 ON IT?

- UNFORTUNATELY,
MAN, IN THIS SITUATION,

I MEAN, $3,000 IS GONNA
BE WHERE I HAVE TO STAY.

- OKAY. WE CAN DO 3,000.

- 3 GRAND? ALL RIGHT, DEAL.

- YOU DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN.
- APPRECIATE IT.

- I SETTLED FOR $3,000 BECAUSE
I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK

WITH THIS CAR WHEN
THE BABY'S BORN.

KIND OF HAD TO DO IT.

- I COULD HAVE GONE
UP A BIT ON MY OFFER,

BUT I KNEW THIS GUY
WOULD TAKE LESS.

SO NOW I'M TAKING IT
TO MY FRIEND DANNY

WHO FIXES UP OLD
MUSCLE CARS LIKE THIS

SO HE CAN BRING THIS THING
BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL GLORY.

EARLIER, I BOUGHT A
1969 BUICK SKYLARK,

AND THIS THING DEFINITELY
NEEDS SOME WORK ON IT,

SO I'M BRINGING IT OVER
TO MY BUDDY DANNY'S

TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
IT'S GONNA COST ME

TO GET THIS THING FIXED UP.

WHAT'S UP, GENTLEMEN?

MY NAME'S DANNY KOKER.

I OWN COUNT'S KUSTOMS
RIGHT HERE IN LAS VEGAS.

I LOVE RESTORING CARS,
AND I KIND OF LOST MY MIND

YEARS AGO WITH IT, AND
I DON'T CARE TO FIND IT.

IT'S GREAT.

GENTLEMEN, WHAT
HAVE WE GOT HERE?

- THIS IS A BUICK SKYLARK I
JUST PICKED UP OFF A GUY.

- ALL RIGHT, WHAT YEAR?
- '69.

- I DIG IT, MAN. IT'S
OLD-SCHOOL DETROIT MUSCLE.

THESE ARE GOOD CARS,
MAN, AND THEY'RE RARE.

THEY'RE HARD TO FIND.

MOST OF YOUR MUSCLE CARS
COME FROM FORD AND CHEVY,

AND ALTHOUGH CHEVY'S A
G.M. PRODUCT, AS IS BUICK,

YOU DON'T SEE TOO
MANY BUICK MUSCLE CARS.

THE BODY LOOKS
PRETTY GOOD ON IT.

LOOKS... YOU KNOW,
LOOKS LIKE A SURVIVOR.

I DON'T THINK THIS CAR'S

REALLY EVER BEEN PAINTED
BEFORE OR TOUCHED.

YOU GOT A LITTLE WAVINESS.

THE REAR QUARTERS
THERE NEED A LITTLE LOVE.

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, MAN.

LET'S LOOK AT THE
INSIDE OF THIS THING.

THE DASH IT NOT IN
BAD SHAPE AT ALL.

THE CARPET MIGHT SALVAGEABLE.

WE GOT TO GET A
SEAT FOR THIS THING.

LET'S GET RID OF THESE
FIBERGLASS BUCKETS.

STEERING WHEELS LIKE
THAT FROM THE '60s, MAN,

INTERESTING, BIZARRE
TRIVIA FOR YOU,

THEY ACTUALLY MADE THAT STUFF
OUT OF SOY, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

THAT WAS THE GREEN
PRODUCT OF THE DAY.

HOW ABOUT COLOR, MAN?

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT
YOU WANT TO DO ON THE COLOR?

- I'M THINKING, LIKE, MAYBE A
FLAT OR A SATIN BLACK ON IT.

- NICE. I'D GO WITH THE SATIN.

THE BACK BUMPER'S NICE, MAN,

WHICH IS GREAT, 'CAUSE YOU'RE
NOT GONNA FIND THIS BACK BUMPER.

BUT I NOTICED WHEN
YOU WERE PULLING IN,

I HEARD A LITTLE BIT
OF KNOCK, NOT A TAP,

SO IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS
MORE IN THE BOTTOM END,

AND I'M A LITTLE
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

MY ONLY QUESTION ON THIS CAR
IS THE CONDITION OF THE MOTOR.

WHEN HE PULLED IT IN,

I THOUGHT I HEARD A KNOCK
IN THE BOTTOM END OF IT.

THAT COULD DEFINITELY AFFECT
WHAT WE'VE GOT TO PUT INTO IT

TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

THAT'S A BIG CONCERN,

SO HOW FAR YOU
WANT TO DIG INTO THIS?

- WELL, MAN, WE GOT
TO MAKE IT RIGHT, SO...

- OKAY.

- THIS IS WHY I BRING
CARS TO DANNY.

I COULDN'T EVEN HEAR
THAT MOTOR KNOCKING,

SO HOPEFULLY IT'S NOTHING
MAJOR, BUT EVERY DOLLAR HE PUTS

IN THE MOTOR IS GONNA
EAT AWAY AT MY PROFIT.

NOT COUNTING THE MOTOR, IF
WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ON THAT,

GIVE ME AN IDEA OF
WHAT WE'RE TALKING.

- YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE
LOOKING AT MAYBE, YOU KNOW,

4 OR 5 "G" s WOULD REALLY
TURN THIS CAR AROUND.

- WELL, ALL RIGHT, MAN.

LET'S HOPE NOTHING'S
WRONG WITH THAT ENGINE.

TAKE CARE, BROTHER.
- GOOD SEEING YOU.

- I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THIS CAR ALL POLISHED UP.

I MEAN, IT'S GONNA LOOK SICK.

BUT IF WE GOT TO
REPLACE THE ENGINE,

MY DAD IS NEVER GONNA
LET ME LIVE THIS DOWN.

- WHAT YOU GOT THERE, SON?

- I HAVE A CIVIL WAR
FIELD OFFICER'S DESK.

- IT LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OUT
OF MY OLD DETENTION ROOM.

- I DON'T THINK SO.

I DECIDED TO COME TO THE
PAWN SHOP TODAY TO SEE

IF I COULD SELL MY CIVIL
WAR FIELD OFFICER'S DESK.

MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER
WAS A CAPTAIN

IN THE 10TH INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.

I THINK THIS SHOULD BE
WORTH QUITE A BIT OF MONEY.

I'VE GOT TWO DAUGHTERS,
AND THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY

OF HELPING TO PAY FOR SOME
COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR THEM.

- HOW'D YOU ACQUIRE THIS, SON?

- THIS HAS BEEN IN
MY FAMILY SINCE 1861.

IT WAS MY
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER'S.

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN USED
DURING THE CIVIL WAR AS THE WAY

THAT THE OFFICERS WOULD
KEEP ALL OF THEIR FILES

AND ALL OF THEIR
PAPERWORK IN ORDER.

THIS COLLECTION IS SPECIAL
BECAUSE ALL THE DOCUMENTS

ARE STILL THERE JUST AS IF
THE WAR ENDED YESTERDAY.

I HAVE THE COMPLETE SET OF
THE MUSTER ROLLS IN AND OUT.

THEY WOULD KEEP TRACK OF ALL
OF THE MEN THAT WERE IN THE UNIT.

HERE IS A TINTYPE OF MY
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER.

I'M NOT SURE IF
THIS IS OF INTEREST.

THIS IS A BIBLE
THAT WAS CAPTURED

AT A CONFEDERATE
BATTLE OF RICH MOUNTAIN.

- WHAT'S THAT BIG, THICK BOOK?

- A LIST OF COMPANY CLOTHING.

IT'S EVERYTHING, I BELIEVE,
THAT WAS ISSUED OUT.

THEY KEPT TRACK OF
EVERYTHING IN TRIPLICATE.

- IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE
WHAT STUFF COST BACK THEN.

THIS COULD BE ONE OF
THE MOST INCREDIBLE PIECES

EVER TO WALK INTO OUR SHOP.

I'M DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN IT,

BUT BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
I NEED TO GET IT CHECKED OUT.

I'M 98% CERTAIN THIS
STUFF IS ALL REAL.

A GOOD FRIEND OF OURS IS MARK
FROM THE CLARK COUNTY MUSEUM.

BEFORE WE GO ANY FARTHER,
I WANT TO HAVE HIM LOOK AT IT.

- GREAT. SOUNDS GOOD.
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- OH, HEY, THANKS.

I HAVEN'T REALLY
HAD THESE APPRAISED,

SO TO HAVE AN EXPERT COME
IN, I THINK THAT'LL BE GREAT,

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO HEARING FROM HIM.

- THIS MORNING, I GOT
A CALL FROM A GUY

TRYING TO SELL AN
OLD PUMP ORGAN,

SO ME AND COREY ARE ON
OUR WAY TO GO CHECK IT OUT.

HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

- ALL RIGHT.

- THIS IS THE ORGAN
THAT I CALLED YOU ABOUT.

IT'S A 1902 QUEEN
PAULA SEARS ORGAN.

- OKAY.

- ORIGINAL PRICE
ON IT WAS $27.45.

- THIS THING COST
$27 BACK IN THE DAY?

- AND 45 CENTS.

- THAT'S LESS THAN HALF
A TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR.

- I WAS AT A GARAGE
SALE ONE SATURDAY,

AND I HAPPENED TO
SEE THIS PUMP ORGAN.

IT WAS PRETTY COOL,
AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT,

SO I SAID, "YEAH,
LET ME BUY IT."

I REALLY HAVE NO USE FOR IT.

IT'S BEEN SITTING IN MY
GARAGE FOR, LIKE, FIVE YEARS.

IT'S JUST COLLECTING DUST,
AND I FIGURE SOMEBODY ELSE,

THEY CAN PUT IT IN THEIR HOUSE.

- I CAN'T PLAY, BUT I'VE SEEN
GUYS PLAY THESE THINGS,

AND I'M TELLING YOU, YOU
ARE SWEATING LIKE A PIG

AFTER TEN MINUTES, BECAUSE
IT'S PUMP, PUMP, PUMP, PUMP.

IT'LL GIVE YOU
SOME CALF MUSCLES.

NOT ONLY DID YOU HAVE TO KNOW
HOW TO PLAY ONE OF THESE THINGS,

YOU HAD TO BE IN
PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.

BUT THE BEST THING WAS,

YOU DIDN'T NEED SOME
BIG-ASS PIPE ORGAN.

YOU COULD ROLL THIS INTO ANY
ROOM AND POWER IT YOURSELF.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

- IT HAS THE ORIGINAL
BEVELED MIRROR.

YOU HAVE ALL THE
ORIGINAL IVORY KEYS.

- THOSE KEYS AREN'T IVORY.
- THEY'RE NOT IVORY?

- NO, THOSE AREN'T IVORY.

- THE ONLY THING
THAT'S MISSING ON IT

IS THIS BOTTOM PANEL OVER HERE.

- DO THE BELLOWS WORK AT ALL?
- NO.

- THEY'RE COMPLETELY SHOT?
- YEAH, THEY'RE DRIED UP.

- YEAH, WE GOT NOTHING THERE.

THE ONLY THING I'M WORRIED ABOUT

IS IF THE STEEL PIPES
HAVE RUSTED OUT.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D
LIKE TO TAKE OFF THE BACK.

- I'VE NEVER HAD IT OFF, SO...
- OKAY.

- I'LL GET TO SEE SOMETHING.

- THAT SHOULD
JUST PULL RIGHT OUT.

GO OVER THERE AND
PUMP REAL QUICK, COREY.

PULL THAT LITTLE
THING BY YOUR LEGS.

OKAY.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING
LOOKS INTACT IN HERE.

THIS THING IS IN ROUGH SHAPE,
BUT THE PARTS SEEM TO WORK,

SO THERE'S A GOOD
CHANCE IT COULD PLAY.

THIS COULD BE A SMART BUY,
'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE

OUT THERE WHO LIKE
TO FIX THESE THINGS UP,

BUT I GOT TO BUY IT CHEAP
SO I CAN SELL IT CHEAP.

SO WHAT WERE YOU
LOOKING TO DO WITH IT?

- I'D LIKE TO SELL IT. COULD
USE A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY.

- AND HOW MUCH
DO YOU WANT FOR IT?

- I'D LIKE TO GET $700.
- NO.

HOW ABOUT $600?

IT ONLY COST 27 BUCKS NEW.

UH... THAT'S A
LITTLE STEEP FOR ME.

- SO HOW DOES $400 SOUND?

- HOW DOES 250 SOUND?

- OKAY. 250. IT'LL GO
TO A BETTER HOME.

- DEAL. 250.
- YOU GOT IT.

- ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT
THIS THING BACK TOGETHER,

TAKE THE TOP OFF,
AND PUT IT IN THE TRUCK.

- I'M HAPPY.

IT'S $250 MORE THAN
I HAD EARLIER TODAY.

, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SON.

- WHATEVER.

- EARLIER, A CUSTOMER BROUGHT
IN A FIELD DESK FROM THE CIVIL WAR.

I THINK IT'S LEGIT,
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW?

SO I'M GONNA HAVE MY FRIEND
MARK COME DOWN AND CHECK IT OUT.

- I'M THE ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE CLARK COUNTY MUSEUM.

WAS THIS A FAMILY PIECE OR...

- IT WAS MY
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER'S.

- WHO WAS YOUR
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER?

- HE WAS THE CAPTAIN
OF THE 10TH INDIANA,

AND HE ENLISTED
AS A PRIVATE IN 1861...

- THAT'D BE RIGHT. YEP.

- AND THEN REENLISTED
THREE MONTHS LATER

AND STAYED AS CAPTAIN
THROUGH TILL 1864.

- SO HE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL
THREE-MONTH ENLISTMENT

AND THEN REENLISTED FOR
THREE YEARS AFTERWARDS?

- THAT IS CORRECT, YES.
- WOW.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR,

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
CALLED FOR VOLUNTEERS

TO ENLIST FOR THREE MONTHS.

THEN THEY REENLISTED ON
A THREE-YEAR ENLISTMENT.

FOR YOUR GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER
TO REENLIST AT THAT POINT,

THIS IS A MAN WHO HAD
ALREADY SEEN ACTION,

SO HE KNEW WHAT
HE WAS GETTING INTO,

AND THE 10TH INDIANA
FOUGHT THROUGH THE WAR.

THEY DIDN'T GET OUT
UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF 1864.

THIS WAS NOT A MAN
WHO SAT OUT THE WAR.

THIS WAS A MAN WHO WAS
IN THE THICK OF FIGHTING,

SO THE FACT THAT HE HAD THE DESK

AND HE HAS ALL THE PAPERWORK
THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT,

IT'S JUST WONDERFUL.

THE FACT THAT THIS
IS ALL TOGETHER...

AND THIS IS THE ORIGINAL FIELD
DESK THAT CAME ALONG WITH IT?

THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

THIS IS A CIVIL WAR FIELD DESK.

IT'S A WONDERFUL PIECE.

THIS IS IN BETTER SHAPE
THAN THE SAME DOCUMENTS

FROM WORLD WAR II.

I HAVE NOT SEEN A
COLLECTION THIS COMPLETE

IN PRIVATE HANDS

EVER.

THIS IS RARE.

THIS IS THE HISTORY
OF ONE PARTICULAR UNIT

AND YOUR
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER'S

INVOLVEMENT WITH IT.

- SO HOW MUCH DO YOU
THINK IT'S ALL WORTH?

- FROM A MUSEUM
STANDPOINT, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

THIS IS BEYOND VALUE
FROM MY STANDPOINT.

THIS IS...
- SO IT'S WORTH $200.

- I HAVE NO IDEA.
THAT'S UP TO YOU GUYS.

- YOU KNOW I WAS JUST
TRYING TO SLIP IT IN THERE.

- CHUMLEE, DON'T YOU EVEN
TRY TO SLIP ANYTHING ANYWHERE.

HEY, MARK, THANKS
FOR COMING DOWN.

- THANK YOU, RICHARD.
I APPRECIATE IT.

CHUM, GOOD TO SEE
YOU. WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS.
- YES, THANK YOU.

- HAVE YOU GOT A FIGURE IN
MIND OF WHAT YOU WANT FOR IT?

- WELL, I WASN'T NECESSARILY
THINKING IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES,

BUT I WAS THINKING
A DECENT SCHOOL,

SO I WAS THINKING
PROBABLY 150,000.

- I DON'T THINK IT
WOULD BRING 150,000

OR ANYWHERE NEAR
THAT IN AN AUCTION.

IF YOU WANT TO, GUY,
I'D GO ABOUT $3,000,

AND I'M GOING HIGH THERE.

- WELL, $3,000
ISN'T GONNA CUT IT.

- I'M NOT A MUSEUM.

I'M A BUYER, AND I'M A SELLER,

AND I'M GONNA HAVE A HELL
OF A TIME TRYING TO SELL IT.

THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO.

- THERE'S JUST NO WAY.
- HEY, I UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR COMING IN.

- HEY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

3,000 WAS NICE OF THEM TO OFFER,
BUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER

JUST TO SAY THEY
SHOULDN'T OFFER ANYTHING.

- I DEFINITELY WANT THIS DESK,
AND I HATE TO LET IT SLIP AWAY,

BUT WE'RE A WORLD
APART ON PRICE.

HE'S TALKING COLLEGE
TUITION MONEY,

AND I'M THINKING SOMETHING
LIKE A GRADUATION PRESENT.

- A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE
BROUGHT OVER A '69 BUICK SKYLARK

TO MY BUDDY DANNY
AT COUNT'S KUSTOMS.

HE DEFINITELY HAD SOME
COOL IDEAS FOR FIXING IT UP,

BUT HE WAS CONCERNED
ABOUT THE ENGINE, SO CHUM AND I

ARE ON OUR WAY TO GO
SEE IF HE HAS GOOD NEWS

OR IF MY DAD'S GONNA KILL ME.

- SO YOU GUYS READY
TO CHECK IT OUT?

- LET'S SEE THIS THING.

- SWEET! THAT IS NASTY.

- IT'S NOT THE SAME CAR, MAN.

IT WAS THIS UGLY
BABY-PUKE GREEN COLOR.

- YEAH, MAN. WE
DID IT A SATIN BLACK.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD
TALKED ABOUT THAT.

WE STRAIGHTENED OUT, YOU
KNOW, THE BIG DENTS AND STUFF

IN THE BACK THAT WAS IN THERE.

WE TOOK ALL THE TRIM WORK.

WE SCOTCH-BRITED IT TO
GIVE IT THAT SATIN LOOK.

WENT BACK TO THE
ORIGINAL SPLIT BENCH SEATS.

IT'S KIND OF GOT
THAT MAD MAX FEEL.

- I MEAN, THE CAR LOOKS LIKE
IT COULD KICK YOUR ASS, MAN.

THAT'S...

SHE WENT FROM A SAD,
TORE-UP, BEAT-UP OLD CAR

TO A REALLY MEAN, NASTY
BOULEVARD CRUISER.

IT'S TOUGH.

- SO PLEASE TELL ME THERE
WASN'T A KNOCK IN THE MOTOR.

I KNOW WE KIND OF THOUGHT
WE HEARD ONE AT FIRST, BUT...

- FUNNY ENOUGH, MAN, YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT LUCK,

THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THE MOTOR.

THE MOTOR WAS FANTASTIC.

IT WAS THAT CHEAP
PLASTIC FIBERGLASS SEAT

IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE
THAT WASN'T BOLTED DOWN,

AND IT WAS THE THREADS CLICKING

ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR
WHEN IT WAS BEING PULLED IN.

SHE'S READY FOR CRUISING, MAN.

- I'M RELIEVED THAT THE
KNOCKING WAS NOTHING,

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DANNY
PUT A TON OF WORK IN THIS,

WHICH IS MAKING ME REAL NERVOUS

THAT IT'S GONNA BE
WAY OVER BUDGET.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING?
I MEAN, I'M 3,000 INTO IT.

- RIGHT.
- WHAT DO I OWE YOU FOR IT?

- WELL, YOU KNOW,
THE WAY I LOOK AT IT,

WHAT WE DID WAS, WE CLEANED
THE WHOLE CAR UP PRETTY NICE.

WE HAD A LOT OF BODYWORK DONE.

BETWEEN ALL THE NEW PAINT,
GOING THROUGH THE MOTOR,

YOU KNOW, ALL THE LABOR
AND EVERYTHING INVOLVED...

WE PUT ABOUT 7,000 IN THE CAR.

- OH, COOL, MAN. 10,000
IS A NICE, ROUND NUMBER.

- THAT'S THE THING.

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL
GET OUT OF THIS THING,

BUT I'M SURE I'LL GET SOMETHING.

- I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF YOU COULD GET,

YOU KNOW, 13,000,
14,000 OUT OF IT.

- AND THAT'S NOT A BAD
PROFIT MARGIN RIGHT THERE.

- ABSOLUTELY.

- I THINK I'M GONNA BUY THIS.
- IT'S YOU, BROTHER.

IT FITS.

YOU SHOULD TRY IT ON.
- TRY IT ON, MAN.

- CAN I DRIVE IT BACK
TO THE SHOP, BIG HOSS?

- YEAH, I GUESS, MAN. GO FOR IT.

- FINALLY.

- CHUM, TAKE IT STRAIGHT
BACK TO THE SHOP.

- OKAY.

- THIS CAR IS AWESOME, SO
IF CHUM DOESN'T WRECK IT

ON THE WAY BACK TO THE SHOP,

I'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM
