1
00:00:01,618 --> 00:00:02,851
On this episode of Pawn Stars...
2
00:00:02,886 --> 00:00:04,253
I have colonel Sanders' suit.
3
00:00:04,287 --> 00:00:05,554
It smells like chicken.
4
00:00:05,588 --> 00:00:07,690
I love the colonel. He
was an American icon.
5
00:00:07,724 --> 00:00:09,324
What were you looking to get out of it?
6
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:10,592
$80,000.
7
00:00:10,627 --> 00:00:12,461
What do we got here?
8
00:00:12,495 --> 00:00:14,697
It's a presidential document
signed by grover Cleveland.
9
00:00:14,731 --> 00:00:17,199
Presidential memorabilia
can be super valuable.
10
00:00:17,233 --> 00:00:19,702
The paper looks right,
the ink looks right,
11
00:00:19,736 --> 00:00:23,338
but some presidential documents
were signed by secretaries.
12
00:00:23,373 --> 00:00:25,407
I wanted to get rid of
my zamperla punchball.
13
00:00:25,442 --> 00:00:26,442
Awesome.
14
00:00:26,476 --> 00:00:27,810
I love these machines.
15
00:00:27,844 --> 00:00:29,778
They're an immediate attention grabber.
16
00:00:29,813 --> 00:00:32,448
It's got vintage history, and
people love punching stuff.
17
00:00:34,217 --> 00:00:36,719
I'm Rick Harrison, and
this is my pawn shop.
18
00:00:36,753 --> 00:00:41,457
I work here with my old
man and my son, big hoss.
19
00:00:41,491 --> 00:00:44,693
Everything in here has
a story and a price.
20
00:00:44,728 --> 00:00:47,396
One thing I've learned after 21 years,
21
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:49,531
you never know what is
gonna come through that door.
22
00:01:03,513 --> 00:01:05,614
How you doing? All right.
23
00:01:05,648 --> 00:01:08,684
Got a 1966 Beatles' Yesterday
and Today Butcher album.
24
00:01:08,718 --> 00:01:11,520
40 years from now, this music
will still be more popular
25
00:01:11,554 --> 00:01:12,888
than the music you listen to today.
26
00:01:12,922 --> 00:01:14,623
I'm sorry, dude,
27
00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:16,391
but there's gonna
be 80-year-old people
28
00:01:16,426 --> 00:01:17,993
listening to snoop dogg.
29
00:01:18,027 --> 00:01:20,696
[Laughs]
30
00:01:20,730 --> 00:01:23,165
I came to the pawn shop today
to try to sell my Beatles'
31
00:01:23,199 --> 00:01:24,967
Yesterday and Today Butcher album.
32
00:01:25,001 --> 00:01:28,537
Picked up this album at a
record store in Dallas for $800,
33
00:01:28,571 --> 00:01:30,939
and today I'm hoping
to sell it for $2,100.
34
00:01:30,974 --> 00:01:34,576
I'm trying to get money to
help my son with college.
35
00:01:34,611 --> 00:01:36,345
Why do they call it the butcher album?
36
00:01:36,379 --> 00:01:38,347
Well, what the Beatles
did, they released an album
37
00:01:38,381 --> 00:01:40,516
here in North America that
had a controversial cover.
38
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:41,617
They had to recall it.
39
00:01:41,651 --> 00:01:43,318
Most of the copies were destroyed,
40
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:45,654
but a few of them, they
slapped this new cover over,
41
00:01:45,688 --> 00:01:46,922
and it was released that way.
44
00:01:50,393 --> 00:01:52,427
So what was so controversial
about the photograph?
45
00:01:52,462 --> 00:01:53,762
Well, here's a picture
46
00:01:53,797 --> 00:01:55,898
of what the original
photograph looked like.
47
00:01:55,932 --> 00:01:58,467
As you can see, they're wearing
these white butcher smocks
48
00:01:58,501 --> 00:02:00,169
with meat and baby doll parts,
49
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:02,237
and it was just too far ahead of its time.
50
00:02:02,272 --> 00:02:04,473
It went against what their
image was at the time.
51
00:02:04,507 --> 00:02:06,175
Some say the Beatles wanted to show
52
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:08,310
their record label butchering
their American albums,
53
00:02:08,344 --> 00:02:10,779
while others thought it was
more about the absurdity of fame.
54
00:02:10,814 --> 00:02:14,583
For me, what's the deal
with the baby parts?
55
00:02:14,617 --> 00:02:17,286
It's a really, really neat album.
56
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,921
It's in incredible shape too.
57
00:02:18,955 --> 00:02:20,689
It's actually a very collectible item.
58
00:02:20,723 --> 00:02:22,191
As far as the Beatles are concerned,
59
00:02:22,225 --> 00:02:23,559
this is one of the most sought-after
60
00:02:23,593 --> 00:02:25,360
and rare items associated with them.
61
00:02:25,395 --> 00:02:28,564
We can work it out,
day tripper, yesterday:
62
00:02:28,598 --> 00:02:30,432
You don't remember any of those songs?
63
00:02:30,466 --> 00:02:32,835
I mean, really, they were just
kind of like the first boy band.
64
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:35,337
They had a few good
songs and a lot of crap.
65
00:02:35,371 --> 00:02:37,439
Well, I think most of the
music you listen to is crap
66
00:02:37,473 --> 00:02:38,807
and this is a lot better.
67
00:02:38,842 --> 00:02:40,642
Corey may not appreciate the Beatles yet,
68
00:02:40,677 --> 00:02:42,444
but one day, he's gonna wake up,
69
00:02:42,478 --> 00:02:45,347
he's gonna hear hey jude,
and go "holy [Bleep].
70
00:02:45,381 --> 00:02:46,882
This is amazing."
71
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:48,584
How much do you want for this?
72
00:02:48,618 --> 00:02:50,853
Online, these things are going,
73
00:02:50,887 --> 00:02:53,555
in this condition, over $2,500.
74
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:55,324
I'd like to get $2,100.
75
00:02:55,358 --> 00:02:57,459
When you looked online,
that's what they were asking,
76
00:02:57,493 --> 00:02:58,627
or that's what they were getting?
77
00:02:58,661 --> 00:03:00,362
That's... yeah.
78
00:03:00,396 --> 00:03:01,763
That's what they're asking.
79
00:03:01,798 --> 00:03:04,132
Okay.
80
00:03:04,167 --> 00:03:06,268
I mean, you can ask anything you want.
81
00:03:06,302 --> 00:03:08,637
I mean, whether you get it or
not is a different situation.
82
00:03:08,671 --> 00:03:12,774
I'd pay you, like, 1,200 bucks for it.
83
00:03:12,809 --> 00:03:15,477
Could you take $1,500 for it?
84
00:03:15,511 --> 00:03:20,983
I'll go $1,250.
85
00:03:21,017 --> 00:03:22,885
All right, $1,250.
86
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:23,886
All right.
87
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,420
You want to go write him up?
88
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:26,989
Yeah, let's go do some paperwork, man.
89
00:03:27,023 --> 00:03:28,490
Beatlemania is alive and well,
90
00:03:28,524 --> 00:03:30,826
and collectors love rare albums,
91
00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:32,494
especially ones that were misprints
92
00:03:32,528 --> 00:03:33,862
or pulled out of stores.
93
00:03:33,897 --> 00:03:36,031
I'll be able to sell
this thing in a second.
94
00:03:41,437 --> 00:03:42,905
So what do you got in here?
95
00:03:42,939 --> 00:03:46,708
I have a world war ii era flag.
96
00:03:46,743 --> 00:03:49,478
It has 48 stars on it.
97
00:03:49,512 --> 00:03:53,515
Okay, let's fold this thing out.
98
00:03:53,549 --> 00:03:57,286
Yeah, this is big.
99
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,188
Rick, this is what is
known as a huge flag.
100
00:04:00,223 --> 00:04:02,024
[Laughs]
101
00:04:04,394 --> 00:04:05,928
I decided to come to the pawn shop today
102
00:04:05,962 --> 00:04:09,698
to try to sell a 48-star American flag.
103
00:04:09,732 --> 00:04:11,433
The fact that it's 48 stars
104
00:04:11,467 --> 00:04:15,671
means that it could be
anywhere from 60 years old
105
00:04:15,705 --> 00:04:17,539
to however long ago it was
106
00:04:17,573 --> 00:04:21,710
the 48th state joined the country.
107
00:04:21,744 --> 00:04:24,279
My husband purchased it 20 years ago
108
00:04:24,314 --> 00:04:27,349
from a military history
shop in northern Virginia.
109
00:04:27,383 --> 00:04:31,353
Could be, I guess, as old as 1914?
110
00:04:31,387 --> 00:04:32,888
1912. '12.
111
00:04:32,922 --> 00:04:34,723
Arizona was admitted in 1912.
I could be wrong, though.
112
00:04:34,757 --> 00:04:36,358
The gentleman he purchased it from
113
00:04:36,392 --> 00:04:39,461
said that it was flown over fort hood.
114
00:04:39,495 --> 00:04:41,263
You don't have no paperwork or anything?
115
00:04:41,297 --> 00:04:42,431
No.
116
00:04:42,465 --> 00:04:43,832
There's no way of documenting it.
117
00:04:43,866 --> 00:04:45,801
But it's a great piece.
118
00:04:45,835 --> 00:04:48,303
Most people have no clue that our flag,
119
00:04:48,338 --> 00:04:49,438
the one that replaced this one,
120
00:04:49,472 --> 00:04:52,207
was designed by
a 17-year-old kid.
121
00:04:52,241 --> 00:04:55,344
He sent a design of our
current flag to congress
122
00:04:55,378 --> 00:04:56,845
as a school project,
123
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:58,380
and they picked it.
124
00:04:58,414 --> 00:05:01,183
I hope he got extra credit for it.
125
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:02,617
I mean, it's in relatively good shape.
126
00:05:02,652 --> 00:05:04,319
I mean, there's a few
rips and tears in it,
127
00:05:04,354 --> 00:05:05,787
but the thing about this flag is,
128
00:05:05,822 --> 00:05:07,456
I don't know what I'm gonna do with it.
129
00:05:07,490 --> 00:05:08,757
And why is that?
130
00:05:08,791 --> 00:05:10,592
It's really difficult to display.
131
00:05:10,626 --> 00:05:12,828
You could stretch it out
across the countertop.
132
00:05:12,862 --> 00:05:17,532
Yeah, and it'd just hide
everything else I have for sale.
133
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:19,835
It is really interesting, though.
134
00:05:19,869 --> 00:05:22,371
Something like this is
worth right around 200 bucks.
135
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:23,839
Okay?
136
00:05:23,873 --> 00:05:25,474
And that's probably
what I'll get out of it.
137
00:05:25,508 --> 00:05:26,742
I'll give you $150.
138
00:05:26,776 --> 00:05:28,543
Oh! Okay.
139
00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:29,711
Got a deal. Sounds great.
140
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:31,346
Thank you.
141
00:05:31,381 --> 00:05:33,215
You want to do the
paperwork, or you want me to?
142
00:05:33,249 --> 00:05:35,317
I don't run computers, son.
143
00:05:35,351 --> 00:05:36,885
All right, come on.
144
00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:39,755
Let's go do some paperwork,
and we'll get you paid.
145
00:05:39,789 --> 00:05:40,822
Okay. Thanks.
146
00:05:40,857 --> 00:05:42,491
This flag is not that rare.
147
00:05:42,525 --> 00:05:44,793
Now, if it was a flag
from a famous battleship
148
00:05:44,827 --> 00:05:46,528
or raised on iwo jima,
149
00:05:46,562 --> 00:05:48,897
then we'd be talking serious money.
150
00:05:51,401 --> 00:05:52,501
Hey, what can I help you with?
151
00:05:52,535 --> 00:05:53,735
Have a look at this.
152
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:55,203
What is it?
153
00:05:55,238 --> 00:05:56,471
Well, the old man's a watchmaker.
154
00:05:56,506 --> 00:05:57,706
He's now retired.
155
00:05:57,740 --> 00:05:59,374
He told me it was a pivot turning tool.
156
00:05:59,409 --> 00:06:00,342
Okay.
157
00:06:00,376 --> 00:06:01,376
Where you from, sir?
158
00:06:01,411 --> 00:06:02,511
I'm from england.
159
00:06:02,545 --> 00:06:03,578
Sounds like it.
160
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:06,148
[Laughter]
161
00:06:06,182 --> 00:06:07,816
I decided to come to the pawn shop today
162
00:06:07,850 --> 00:06:09,785
to try and sell my
antique watchmaker's tool.
163
00:06:09,819 --> 00:06:12,187
I got this tool from my dad.
He used to be a watchmaker.
164
00:06:12,221 --> 00:06:14,189
He's quit, so I was
clearing all his stuff out,
165
00:06:14,223 --> 00:06:16,191
and he gave it to me to try and sell it.
166
00:06:16,225 --> 00:06:18,193
It's really old, you know.
It's in good condition.
167
00:06:18,227 --> 00:06:19,694
We'll see what we can get for it.
168
00:06:19,729 --> 00:06:21,196
So what can you tell me about it?
169
00:06:21,230 --> 00:06:23,198
It's a pivot turning tool,
170
00:06:23,232 --> 00:06:24,866
which don't mean a lot to me,
'cause I'm not a watchmaker.
171
00:06:24,901 --> 00:06:26,468
So you never worked on
watches with your dad?
172
00:06:26,502 --> 00:06:27,936
No, he always wanted me to, but, you know,
173
00:06:27,970 --> 00:06:29,671
I ain't got the patience for it, you know?
174
00:06:29,705 --> 00:06:31,506
I ain't got the small
little teeny hands required.
175
00:06:31,541 --> 00:06:34,776
And I ain't got the eyes for it.
176
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:37,446
Early watchmaking was a
delicate and tedious job,
177
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,147
because it was all about precision.
178
00:06:39,182 --> 00:06:41,683
They used so many tiny,
intricate instruments,
179
00:06:41,717 --> 00:06:45,387
very few people had the
patience or the steady hand.
180
00:06:45,421 --> 00:06:46,788
You know how old this is?
181
00:06:46,823 --> 00:06:47,823
I think it's about turn of the century,
182
00:06:47,857 --> 00:06:48,924
something like that.
183
00:06:48,958 --> 00:06:50,625
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.
184
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:52,828
You know, you got some steel
collets, some brass collets
185
00:06:52,862 --> 00:06:55,764
for gripping, like, a drill
bit or something like that.
186
00:06:55,798 --> 00:06:58,333
This holds the collets,
187
00:06:58,367 --> 00:07:00,836
and this does... I have no idea.
188
00:07:00,870 --> 00:07:02,270
Um...
189
00:07:02,305 --> 00:07:04,439
Well, it holds this for something.
190
00:07:04,474 --> 00:07:06,441
And maybe this goes into something.
191
00:07:06,476 --> 00:07:07,843
Yeah, I have no idea.
192
00:07:07,877 --> 00:07:09,744
You know, I know all about watches,
193
00:07:09,779 --> 00:07:11,413
but the tools that put them together,
194
00:07:11,447 --> 00:07:12,881
I'm not real big on.
195
00:07:12,915 --> 00:07:14,616
I have no idea if even
all the parts are here
196
00:07:14,650 --> 00:07:16,184
or even if the thing works.
197
00:07:16,219 --> 00:07:18,386
But I do have a buddy who's a watchmaker.
198
00:07:18,421 --> 00:07:20,355
I can have him come down
and take a look at it.
199
00:07:20,389 --> 00:07:22,724
He could tell us what it is and
maybe tell us what it's worth.
200
00:07:22,758 --> 00:07:23,859
Yeah, sounds good to me.
201
00:07:23,893 --> 00:07:25,794
Okay. Cheers.
202
00:07:25,828 --> 00:07:28,763
It's a presidential document
signed by grover Cleveland.
203
00:07:28,798 --> 00:07:32,334
You have a signature
that's very sharp and clear
204
00:07:32,368 --> 00:07:35,337
with a nice consistent flow.
205
00:07:35,371 --> 00:07:38,573
And I have a really interesting
story about grover Cleveland.
206
00:07:38,608 --> 00:07:41,243
The ball drops down, and you
hit it as hard as you can.
207
00:07:41,277 --> 00:07:43,612
The dial spins around,
tells you how strong you are.
208
00:07:43,646 --> 00:07:44,946
How about you guys battle for it?
209
00:07:44,981 --> 00:07:46,148
I'm game.
210
00:07:58,277 --> 00:07:59,744
Earlier today, a guy came in
211
00:07:59,779 --> 00:08:01,179
with an old watchmaker's toolkit.
212
00:08:01,214 --> 00:08:02,681
It looks very old.
213
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:04,382
But I have no idea what it's used for,
214
00:08:04,417 --> 00:08:06,785
if it has all the pieces,
or if it even works.
215
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:08,987
So I called in my buddy
ferdinand to take a look.
216
00:08:09,021 --> 00:08:11,289
My name's ferdinand, and
I'm a watch and clock maker.
217
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:13,191
Rick called me in to look at these things
218
00:08:13,226 --> 00:08:14,826
because in watchmaking,
219
00:08:14,861 --> 00:08:17,796
you have such a lot of
different specialty tools.
220
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:20,332
You may not come across
another one in your lifetime.
221
00:08:20,366 --> 00:08:22,234
Okay.
222
00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:25,203
I haven't seen anything
like that in a long time.
223
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:29,241
It's a watch screw refinishing tool.
224
00:08:29,275 --> 00:08:30,342
A what?
225
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:33,445
Watch screw finishing tool.
226
00:08:33,479 --> 00:08:35,146
I know it's a mouthful.
227
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:36,681
And it's even longer in German.
228
00:08:36,716 --> 00:08:40,719
But this is actually for
fine refinishing screws.
229
00:08:40,753 --> 00:08:43,288
Just to Polish screws.
Just to Polish screws.
230
00:08:43,322 --> 00:08:44,456
Can you show me how to use it?
231
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:46,024
Yeah, I could.
232
00:08:46,058 --> 00:08:47,792
Mind you, we don't have the vise here.
233
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:49,828
If you want to hold it, I
can give you a demonstration.
234
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:52,631
I can hold it for you. Yeah, okay.
235
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:54,266
So I'm putting the
screw in the collet here,
236
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:55,867
the thread.
237
00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:57,235
All the way in.
238
00:08:57,270 --> 00:08:59,004
And with that, I tighten it.
239
00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:00,705
So now it's tight in there.
240
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:02,340
Put that in there.
241
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:07,012
Now, this is emery paper on
the stick so it's nice and flat.
242
00:09:07,046 --> 00:09:09,180
And you need to hold it nice and flat here
243
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:10,682
so you got a good angle.
244
00:09:10,716 --> 00:09:13,184
And you... as you're going like this,
245
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,520
you can get a good finish.
246
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,922
Okay.
247
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:18,924
So how old do you think this thing is?
248
00:09:18,958 --> 00:09:22,994
Well, "g. Boley, made in Germany."
249
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:23,995
Yeah.
250
00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:25,830
Boley was actually
251
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:28,533
a very well-known and
high-quality manufacturer
252
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,035
of watchmaker's tools.
253
00:09:30,069 --> 00:09:31,469
But from about 1900 onward,
254
00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:33,438
people would use lathes
now to do the same thing.
255
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:34,739
Okay.
256
00:09:34,774 --> 00:09:36,241
So I would say before 1900.
257
00:09:36,275 --> 00:09:38,910
Basically, this is just antiquated?
258
00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:39,978
Yeah.
259
00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:40,979
It's a novelty.
260
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:42,080
It's a novelty now.
261
00:09:42,114 --> 00:09:44,082
The tool is not really used today.
262
00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:47,018
You would use a lathe to
do the same job, you know,
263
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,220
and far more efficiently and quicker.
264
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:52,524
So the market would
only be for a collector.
265
00:09:52,558 --> 00:09:54,259
What do you think it's worth?
266
00:09:54,293 --> 00:09:57,195
Well, it's worth, um...
267
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:02,133
It's worth a lot...
268
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:04,002
If you need to Polish a screw.
269
00:10:04,036 --> 00:10:06,037
But unfortunately, there
isn't much demand for that.
270
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:07,339
That's the biggest problem.
271
00:10:07,373 --> 00:10:08,907
I was hoping I could sell it to you.
272
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:12,277
Okay, I've got 20 bucks in my pocket.
273
00:10:12,311 --> 00:10:13,878
Well, I appreciate you coming in.
274
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:15,046
Oh, you're welcome.
275
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:16,414
You have a good day. You too.
276
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:17,916
Ah, well, you heard him.
277
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:19,718
I'd give you, like, 20 bucks for it.
278
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:21,519
I'll take it back with me
and give it to my old man.
279
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:22,954
Cheers anyway. All right.
280
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,289
Thanks a lot. Thanks for coming in.
281
00:10:24,323 --> 00:10:25,557
You have a good day, my friend.
282
00:10:25,591 --> 00:10:26,925
You too, mate.
283
00:10:32,431 --> 00:10:33,999
What do you got?
284
00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:37,402
What I have here is colonel Sanders' suit.
285
00:10:37,436 --> 00:10:39,104
Colonel Sanders' suit.
286
00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:42,307
Colonel Sanders' suit.
287
00:10:42,341 --> 00:10:44,075
It's got to be. It smells like chicken.
288
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:47,879
[Laughter]
289
00:10:47,913 --> 00:10:49,781
I came to the pawn shop today
290
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:52,150
to see if I could sell
colonel Sanders' suit.
291
00:10:52,184 --> 00:10:54,219
I got this suit when I purchased a house
292
00:10:54,253 --> 00:10:56,054
which was owned by colonel Sanders.
293
00:10:56,088 --> 00:10:58,189
And I bought the contents of the house,
294
00:10:58,224 --> 00:11:01,459
which had some furniture
as well as his suit.
295
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:02,794
I'm hoping to sell this
296
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:06,965
for between $40,000 and $50,000.
297
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:10,235
When he sold the company in 1964,
298
00:11:10,269 --> 00:11:12,137
he stayed on as an ambassador,
299
00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:14,039
and he traveled on behalf of kfc.
300
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:15,407
He always wore the suit.
301
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:18,343
And the suits were
numbered and dated for him.
302
00:11:18,377 --> 00:11:23,314
This was the last suit given
to him in terms of his contract.
303
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:24,816
How old was he when he died?
304
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:27,552
He was born in 1890, and he died in 1980.
305
00:11:27,586 --> 00:11:29,387
He was 90 years old.
306
00:11:29,422 --> 00:11:31,256
He was an interesting
guy. I always loved kfc.
307
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:32,957
I was, like, raised on the stuff.
308
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:34,959
We ate Kentucky fried
chicken at least once a week
309
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:36,061
when the kids was growing up.
310
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:37,662
I love the colonel.
311
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:39,698
He was working at a crappy
gas station in Kentucky,
312
00:11:39,732 --> 00:11:41,833
and one day, he said,
"let's sell some chicken."
313
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:44,302
Before he knew it, he
was an American icon.
314
00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:46,938
Talk about cooking up
some damn fine chicken.
315
00:11:46,972 --> 00:11:48,873
Did you want to pawn it?
Did you want to sell it?
316
00:11:48,908 --> 00:11:49,874
I'd like to sell it.
317
00:11:49,909 --> 00:11:51,176
I brought proof
318
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:54,245
of my ownership of the
contents of the house.
319
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,680
Okay.
320
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:57,148
What were you looking to get out of it?
321
00:11:57,183 --> 00:12:01,319
The last suit sold in
an auction for $80,000.
322
00:12:01,353 --> 00:12:03,088
[Exhales]
323
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:04,456
I truly believe that the suit
324
00:12:04,490 --> 00:12:07,258
should be worth $40,000 to $50,000.
325
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:09,394
[Exhales]
326
00:12:09,428 --> 00:12:11,396
I mean, this is my quandary with it.
327
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:12,897
You got all the proof in the world
328
00:12:12,932 --> 00:12:14,766
that it was colonel Sanders'.
329
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,069
The problem is figuring out how
to market something like this.
330
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:19,838
It's really tough.
331
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:22,373
I mean, it's a really,
really specialized crowd.
332
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:26,945
There are, you know, thousands
of franchises around the world.
333
00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:28,279
They're opening
334
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:30,749
two kfc franchises in
China a week right now.
335
00:12:30,783 --> 00:12:33,451
I understand that, but
it's too much of a risk.
336
00:12:33,486 --> 00:12:35,420
I would be too afraid to buy it.
337
00:12:35,454 --> 00:12:37,322
I'm glad you brought it in,
338
00:12:37,356 --> 00:12:39,657
but it's one of those things
I'm not gonna make an offer on
339
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,426
'cause I have no idea what
I'm gonna get out of it.
340
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:43,895
Yeah. Okay?
341
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:44,929
No, I appreciate your help.
342
00:12:44,964 --> 00:12:46,331
Thank you. Thank you.
343
00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:47,932
Thanks for coming in.
I really appreciate it.
344
00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:49,834
This thing is awesome,
345
00:12:49,869 --> 00:12:52,103
and I'm sure it could be worth
$40,000 to the right collector,
346
00:12:52,138 --> 00:12:54,405
but that person would have to love kfc.
347
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,542
To everyone else, it's neat,
but it's not 40 grand neat.
348
00:13:01,981 --> 00:13:03,281
What do we got here?
349
00:13:03,315 --> 00:13:05,383
I believe it's a presidential document
350
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:07,519
signed by grover Cleveland.
351
00:13:07,553 --> 00:13:09,120
Huh.
352
00:13:09,155 --> 00:13:11,489
I'd be so mad if my
parents named me grover.
353
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:12,524
Pops, come here.
354
00:13:12,558 --> 00:13:13,958
What do you want?
355
00:13:13,993 --> 00:13:15,426
Thank you for not naming me grover.
356
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:17,428
[Laughing]
357
00:13:19,331 --> 00:13:21,299
I decided to come into the pawn shop today
358
00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:23,234
to try to sell a presidential document,
359
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:25,470
and I believe it's signed
by president Cleveland.
360
00:13:25,504 --> 00:13:27,305
I thought I'd bring it down
here to see if I can get
361
00:13:27,339 --> 00:13:28,773
some extra cash to pay some bills.
362
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:30,108
"Grover Cleveland,
363
00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:31,943
President of the United
States of America."
364
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:33,278
Where'd you find this?
365
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:35,146
I was actually rehabbing a house.
366
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:36,347
And I was in the attic,
367
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:38,016
and I saw that tube, and I opened it up.
368
00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:40,251
That document was in there. Okay.
369
00:13:40,286 --> 00:13:42,453
President Cleveland is
known for two things.
370
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:45,456
He was the only president to
serve two nonconsecutive terms,
371
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,392
and his face is on the $1,000 bill.
372
00:13:47,426 --> 00:13:50,428
That's about it.
373
00:13:50,462 --> 00:13:52,230
Right here, it says
374
00:13:52,264 --> 00:13:54,833
he's appointing William lochren
of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
375
00:13:54,867 --> 00:13:57,302
to the commissioner of pensions.
376
00:13:57,336 --> 00:14:00,071
It's signed by the
secretary of the interior
377
00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:01,739
and grover Cleveland.
378
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:02,874
Pops, what do you think?
379
00:14:02,908 --> 00:14:04,876
I mean, everything looks right.
380
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:05,944
I mean, it's...
381
00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:07,178
It's definitely old.
382
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:10,381
The paper looks right,
the ink looks right,
383
00:14:10,416 --> 00:14:13,451
but I know some presidential documents
384
00:14:13,485 --> 00:14:16,254
were signed by secretaries.
385
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:17,989
So I have no idea
386
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:20,358
if this is grover Cleveland's
signature right here
387
00:14:20,392 --> 00:14:22,227
or his secretary's.
388
00:14:22,261 --> 00:14:24,262
Did you want to pawn it,
or do you want to sell it?
389
00:14:24,296 --> 00:14:25,496
I'd like to sell it.
390
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,031
I think I need to have someone look at it
391
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:28,800
before I make an offer.
392
00:14:28,834 --> 00:14:31,469
I just don't want to put out
the money without knowing.
393
00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:32,470
Okay.
394
00:14:32,504 --> 00:14:33,805
Let me call someone in here
395
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:34,873
who knows more about it than I do.
396
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:36,074
Okay.
397
00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:37,675
We'll get this thing figured out,
398
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:38,843
and we'll see if we can do some business.
399
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,211
All righty, thank you. Thanks.
400
00:14:40,246 --> 00:14:41,913
You never know with something like this.
401
00:14:41,947 --> 00:14:43,748
President Cleveland's
signature could be very rare
402
00:14:43,782 --> 00:14:46,050
and this guy could have
found a treasure in his attic.
403
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:24,756
Holy [Bleep].
404
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:26,624
Awesome.
405
00:15:26,659 --> 00:15:28,793
Wanted to get rid of
my zamperla punchball.
406
00:15:28,827 --> 00:15:32,196
It's just one of those pieces
that's got vintage history,
407
00:15:32,231 --> 00:15:34,198
and people love punching stuff.
408
00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:36,200
He thinks he's a tough
guy, and he loves to brag,
409
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:37,702
so this is his type of machine.
410
00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:42,407
I decided to come to the pawn shop today
411
00:15:42,441 --> 00:15:45,076
to sell my 1981 zamperla punchball.
412
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:47,712
It's a old-school
electromechanical punching game
413
00:15:47,746 --> 00:15:49,580
for bragging rights, most of the time.
414
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:51,115
It's just fun.
415
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:52,750
So what can you tell me about this thing?
416
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:55,353
The ball drops down, and you
hit it as hard as you can.
417
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:57,755
The dial spins around,
tells you how strong you are.
418
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,290
These were great in bars.
419
00:15:59,325 --> 00:16:01,225
I mean, they gave you
instant bragging rights.
420
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:03,227
And, you know, guys would
just feed money into them
421
00:16:03,262 --> 00:16:04,896
'cause they couldn't
let the guy next to them
422
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:06,197
hit it harder than they did.
423
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:07,498
I love these machines.
424
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:09,300
They're an immediate attention grabber,
425
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:10,768
and I really like punching them myself.
426
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:13,071
Maybe I just got a whole
lot of pent-up aggression.
427
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:14,439
So you looking to pawn it or sell it?
428
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:15,740
Sell it.
429
00:16:15,774 --> 00:16:17,175
How much were you looking to get, boss?
430
00:16:17,209 --> 00:16:18,343
At least $1,000.
431
00:16:18,377 --> 00:16:20,044
The problem I have with it, man, is,
432
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:22,313
it does need some restoration work on it.
433
00:16:22,348 --> 00:16:25,116
It's got some dings, but it still works.
434
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:26,617
Any of the artwork original?
435
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:28,386
No, except for the wheel face,
436
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:30,121
everything else has been replaced.
437
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:31,689
Another thing is that there's an entire
438
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:32,824
top piece that goes with it too.
439
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:34,359
You don't have that, do you?
440
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:36,227
No, it wasn't there when we bought it.
441
00:16:36,261 --> 00:16:38,863
Okay, that being the case,
I can offer you around $600.
442
00:16:38,897 --> 00:16:41,366
Go $700?
443
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,368
$650 sounds better.
444
00:16:43,402 --> 00:16:45,103
I'd really like to see $700 on it.
445
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:46,671
I mean, it's a lot of fun.
446
00:16:46,705 --> 00:16:48,673
Everybody's gonna have a
good time, whoever gets it.
447
00:16:48,707 --> 00:16:51,776
How about you guys battle for it?
448
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:52,844
I'm game.
449
00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:54,145
I'll do that.
450
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:56,280
All right. Let's do it.
451
00:16:56,315 --> 00:16:58,182
Who's first?
452
00:16:58,217 --> 00:17:01,085
Well, you go first, 'cause
you're trying to get the money.
453
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,222
The key to being good
at the game is angle.
454
00:17:04,256 --> 00:17:05,590
When you go to hit it,
455
00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:07,725
punch through the ball,
not punch at the ball.
456
00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:15,800
[Loud smack]
457
00:17:15,834 --> 00:17:17,869
[Bleep].
458
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:19,504
170.
459
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:22,340
All right, so if I get
above 170, it's $650.
460
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:23,541
Yep.
461
00:17:35,654 --> 00:17:36,854
[Loud smack]
462
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:41,592
Winner!
463
00:17:41,627 --> 00:17:42,693
Damn it.
464
00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:44,128
All right, man, $700 it is.
465
00:17:44,163 --> 00:17:45,596
Let's go do the paperwork.
466
00:17:45,631 --> 00:17:47,732
Got the $700, really happy about that.
467
00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:50,802
They might be bigger,
but technique over brawn.
468
00:17:50,836 --> 00:17:53,337
I took a swing. He took a swing.
469
00:17:53,372 --> 00:17:55,807
I won.
470
00:17:55,841 --> 00:17:57,642
Earlier today, a guy brought in a document
471
00:17:57,676 --> 00:18:00,144
that appeared to be signed
by president grover Cleveland.
472
00:18:00,179 --> 00:18:01,412
I had a few questions,
473
00:18:01,447 --> 00:18:03,147
so I called in my buddy
Dana to take a look.
474
00:18:03,182 --> 00:18:04,849
He's an expert in American documents.
475
00:18:04,883 --> 00:18:07,685
I'm president of early
American history auctions.
476
00:18:07,719 --> 00:18:09,220
The guys at the pawn shop call me
477
00:18:09,254 --> 00:18:11,456
whenever they have
early-American documents
478
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:16,060
or items that need
authentication and valuation.
479
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,728
Let's see. Grover Cleveland.
480
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:22,066
He was our 22nd and our 24th president.
481
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:25,203
I have a really interesting
story about grover Cleveland.
482
00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:28,372
Before he was president,
when he was 27 years old,
483
00:18:28,407 --> 00:18:30,541
his law partner had a little baby.
484
00:18:30,576 --> 00:18:33,845
Grover Cleveland purchased
the first baby carriage
485
00:18:33,879 --> 00:18:35,613
for that little baby.
486
00:18:35,647 --> 00:18:39,550
21 years later, when he was 48 years old,
487
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:41,586
he married, in the white house,
488
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:45,556
the little baby girl who
he gave the carriage to,
489
00:18:45,591 --> 00:18:50,361
21 years after she was born.
490
00:18:50,395 --> 00:18:52,797
The white house has definitely
had its fair share of scandals.
491
00:18:52,831 --> 00:18:55,333
I mean, fdr married a distant cousin.
492
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:58,803
Harding had an affair with
his wife's married friend.
493
00:18:58,837 --> 00:19:01,105
Jfk and Marilyn Monroe
supposedly had a fling.
494
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:04,742
And Bill Clinton, well... [Laughs]
495
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:08,779
This appears to be a
presidential commission
496
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:11,649
to this fellow, William lochren.
497
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:17,321
The document itself is
in fairly rough condition.
498
00:19:17,356 --> 00:19:19,423
Typically, a document of this nature
499
00:19:19,458 --> 00:19:21,893
would have been fairly well treasured
500
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,262
by the person who received it.
501
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:27,565
They're typically
framed and hung on a wall
502
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:31,102
if you're given a document by a president.
503
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:34,438
But the printing on the
document appears nice.
504
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:38,709
There's a embossed seal
in the left lower corner.
505
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:41,579
I know some things like this
were signed by secretaries.
506
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:44,615
Well, having been doing
this for a long time,
507
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:47,451
I've seen a number of
signatures of grover Cleveland.
508
00:19:47,486 --> 00:19:50,888
You have a signature that's in brown ink
509
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:52,823
that's very sharp and clear
510
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:55,626
with a very nice consistent flow.
511
00:19:55,661 --> 00:19:59,597
And I believe this, um...
512
00:19:59,631 --> 00:20:01,566
This is authentic.
513
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,501
There's no question about it.
514
00:20:03,535 --> 00:20:07,171
Typically, if a document
is signed by a secretary,
515
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:10,374
the name of the person who
is signing for the president
516
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:14,078
would have been listed just
below the president's name.
517
00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:16,247
How much do you think it's worth?
518
00:20:16,281 --> 00:20:17,782
In the condition that it's in,
519
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:19,717
with the tears and the stains and all
520
00:20:19,751 --> 00:20:22,753
and being wrinkled and edges crinkled,
521
00:20:22,788 --> 00:20:26,724
it's worth maybe a couple hundred dollars,
522
00:20:26,758 --> 00:20:29,760
$200, $300, something of that nature.
523
00:20:29,795 --> 00:20:31,596
Okay, thanks, Dana. I
really appreciate it.
524
00:20:31,630 --> 00:20:33,497
You take care. Take care, Corey.
525
00:20:33,532 --> 00:20:35,132
Well, you know what it's worth, son.
526
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:36,734
You handle the deal.
527
00:20:36,768 --> 00:20:39,537
All right, man, what would
you realistically take for it?
528
00:20:39,571 --> 00:20:41,439
Like, $250.
529
00:20:41,473 --> 00:20:42,807
Realistically, man, I'm gonna have
530
00:20:42,841 --> 00:20:44,442
to have this thing framed and matted.
531
00:20:44,476 --> 00:20:46,677
That's gonna cost me another 50 bucks.
532
00:20:46,712 --> 00:20:50,147
I can offer you, like, 100 bucks for it.
533
00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:52,116
Okay. I'll take $100 for it.
534
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:54,151
All right, deal, bro.
Let's go do some paperwork.
535
00:20:54,186 --> 00:20:55,319
Thanks.
536
00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:56,654
$100 wasn't even close
537
00:20:56,688 --> 00:20:58,256
to what I was thinking I was gonna get,
538
00:20:58,290 --> 00:20:59,390
but what the heck?
539
00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:00,791
I found the document in an attic,
540
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:03,027
and that's better than nothing at all.
541
00:21:04,830 --> 00:21:06,197
[Loud smack]
542
00:21:06,231 --> 00:21:07,298
[Buzzer buzzes]
543
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,167
[Loud smack]
544
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:12,703
Damn it.
545
00:21:12,738 --> 00:21:14,472
[Loud smack]
546
00:21:14,506 --> 00:21:15,573
[Buzzer buzzes]
547
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:19,644
[Loud smack]
548
00:21:19,678 --> 00:21:21,646
[Bleep] Stupid.
549
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,847
[Buzzer buzzes]
550
00:21:25,317 --> 00:21:26,284
[Loud smack]
551
00:21:26,318 --> 00:21:27,451
[Bleep].
