1
00:00:01,268 --> 00:00:04,003
(martin luther king jr.):
We are determined to be free.
2
00:00:04,205 --> 00:00:06,004
(ed herlihy): The long
anticipated freedom March
3
00:00:06,073 --> 00:00:08,540
From selma to alabama's
capital of montgomery
4
00:00:08,609 --> 00:00:10,476
Finally gets under way.
5
00:00:10,544 --> 00:00:13,145
Twice before the marchers
had been turned back
by state troopers.
6
00:00:13,213 --> 00:00:15,881
Now they March with
the protection of federalized
7
00:00:16,083 --> 00:00:18,984
National guard units
and regular troops.
8
00:00:27,094 --> 00:00:30,829
(mike): Driving over
this bridge is so powerful.
9
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:32,564
What happened here
was such a pivotal part
10
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:33,765
In the civil rights movement.
11
00:00:33,834 --> 00:00:36,101
There's so much
history here, man.
12
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:38,170
This is a lot more emotional
than I thought it would be.
13
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:39,771
- Yes.
14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,774
- We must say,
give us the ballot.
15
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,843
We are determined
to have the ballot,
16
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:47,378
And we are determined
to have it now.
17
00:00:47,448 --> 00:00:49,014
(crowd cheering)
18
00:00:59,259 --> 00:01:00,726
- Look at that church, jersey.
-Yeah, that's a nice church.
19
00:01:00,928 --> 00:01:03,195
- The buildings here
are unbelievable.
20
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:05,864
Today, jersey jon and I are in
the great state of alabama,
21
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:08,867
Headed to an independent
gas and oil company
22
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:11,537
That's been
family-owned over 50 years.
23
00:01:11,739 --> 00:01:13,004
Look at this place, jersey.
24
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:15,807
There's so many of them
that need to be restored.
25
00:01:15,876 --> 00:01:17,476
This is the largest
historic district
26
00:01:17,545 --> 00:01:18,477
In the state of alabama.
27
00:01:18,679 --> 00:01:21,546
Gorgeous! Look at that.
28
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:22,347
Wow, I'm just blown away.
29
00:01:22,416 --> 00:01:23,748
Arts revive.
30
00:01:23,818 --> 00:01:25,551
Oh they got a nice
outside area too.
31
00:01:25,753 --> 00:01:27,486
Creeping up on the address here.
32
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:29,421
Ha ha. Oh wow! Whoa!
33
00:01:29,623 --> 00:01:31,823
That is the alabama pothole.
- You're going to break
an axle on this thing.
34
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:34,093
- Uh-oh, are we going
to hit this wire?
35
00:01:34,295 --> 00:01:35,894
- Probably.
- Are we going to pull
it off the building?
36
00:01:35,962 --> 00:01:38,163
And then we're going
to be stuck. Dang...
37
00:01:39,299 --> 00:01:42,100
- I think you're okay, dude.
- Okay, we're good. We're good.
38
00:01:42,169 --> 00:01:43,902
Look at that one-
- watch the telephone pole,
dude.
39
00:01:43,971 --> 00:01:46,171
Don't scrape it.
Ooh, look at the hardware store.
40
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,974
- I know. That's what I'm saying
that's what I'm talking about.
41
00:01:49,043 --> 00:01:52,010
Look at that awning.
- I got to take a picture...
42
00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:54,446
- I got it.
- That's cool.
43
00:01:54,515 --> 00:01:55,980
The st. James hotel.
44
00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:57,049
- That looks like it's
been recently restored.
45
00:01:57,251 --> 00:01:59,784
- They put a lot of money in
that building, obviously.
46
00:01:59,854 --> 00:02:01,119
- This is it right
here with the mural.
47
00:02:01,188 --> 00:02:03,522
- Yeah, they're painting a mural
on the side of the building.
48
00:02:03,591 --> 00:02:05,991
Rex! How are you, brother?
49
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:08,460
- Hey.
- Are you rex?
50
00:02:08,529 --> 00:02:09,794
- What's going on? I am.
51
00:02:09,864 --> 00:02:10,929
- Hey, I'm mike.
- Mike, nice to meet you.
52
00:02:10,998 --> 00:02:12,931
- Jersey jon.
- Jersey, rex. Nice to meet you.
53
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,067
- What you got going on, man?
Hey, I'm mike.
54
00:02:15,269 --> 00:02:18,070
- Oh, this is vaughn simms.
- Vaughn, nice to meet you.
55
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:21,139
- Welcome to selma.
- Cool, what are you painting?
56
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:23,942
- We are actually doing a mural
of an old gas station.
57
00:02:24,011 --> 00:02:27,612
It's actually based out
of belle plaine, iowa,
58
00:02:27,681 --> 00:02:29,080
It's called preston station.
59
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:31,749
- On lincoln highway.
- Yeah, on lincoln highway, yes.
60
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:33,818
Okay, I want to see,
what do you got?
61
00:02:33,888 --> 00:02:36,554
- I've been by this
place so many times.
62
00:02:36,623 --> 00:02:37,956
I'm so familiar with this!
63
00:02:38,025 --> 00:02:41,493
Lincoln highway beat out
route 66 by like 10 years.
64
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:42,827
It travels coast to coast.
65
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:44,896
And this gas station
is an iconic point
66
00:02:44,965 --> 00:02:47,765
On the lincoln highway
in the state of iowa.
67
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:49,167
So how did you end
up choosing this?
68
00:02:49,236 --> 00:02:51,703
- Everybody asks me that. It
started with the visible pumps.
69
00:02:51,771 --> 00:02:53,906
I knew I needed a visible pump.
70
00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:56,775
And then I came across
a picture of this station
71
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:57,776
And it just spoke
to me right away.
72
00:02:57,978 --> 00:02:59,111
We're going to be
putting a visible pump
73
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:01,779
Like the one in this picture,
we're going to be putting it
74
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:02,981
Right here in front
of the mural.
75
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,450
And I have an old sign
from my company, cougar oil,
76
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,052
We're going to put up.
77
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,520
And then I have a local artist
named charlie lucas,
78
00:03:08,589 --> 00:03:09,854
They call him the tin man.
79
00:03:09,924 --> 00:03:11,789
He's actually world-famous
in the art world.
80
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:13,992
And we're going to build
a gas attendant.
81
00:03:14,061 --> 00:03:15,126
He'll take different pieces
of metal and scrap...
82
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:17,863
- Oh out of metal.
- Cool. Like weld something up?
83
00:03:17,931 --> 00:03:19,797
- So he'll be next to the pump.
- Yes.
84
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:22,934
- Like 3-d.
- I call it 4-d. (laughs)
85
00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:25,536
It closed in 1989,
but they are still trying
86
00:03:25,606 --> 00:03:26,805
To preserve the location.
87
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:28,473
It's actually a historic
preservation site
88
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:30,208
On lincoln highway.
89
00:03:30,277 --> 00:03:33,545
So I reached out to the owner,
and they gave me their blessing,
90
00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:34,813
Which really makes it cool.
91
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:36,682
We have two parts
of the country now
92
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:37,883
Following this whole process.
93
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,151
For this one, we're
doing a time-lapse.
94
00:03:40,221 --> 00:03:43,021
So it shows him like, it will
take a picture every 30 seconds.
95
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:44,889
And it just (makes whirling
camera noises) you know...
96
00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:45,957
It kind of shows him
filling everything in.
97
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:48,093
- That's awesome!
- Yeah. This is the fourth mural
98
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:50,428
That vaughn and I have done
together through an organization
99
00:03:50,497 --> 00:03:51,897
Called arts revive.
100
00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:53,632
So my company partners
with a non-profit,
101
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,967
And we put murals in selma.
102
00:03:56,036 --> 00:03:57,769
And so with this-
- well we noticed down there,
103
00:03:57,837 --> 00:03:59,104
There was like
a big art gallery.
104
00:03:59,172 --> 00:04:00,839
- Butterflies and the art
gallery, yeah that's all...
105
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,907
- And a big outdoor patio.
- Exactly.
106
00:04:02,976 --> 00:04:05,176
We say we build our
community through art.
107
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,178
- What rex is doing here is
getting people to pay attention.
108
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:09,580
They're going to stop, they're
going to look at the mural,
109
00:04:09,650 --> 00:04:11,182
He's creating this moment.
110
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,518
They're going to take a picture,
share that on social media.
111
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,120
It gets history out there.
112
00:04:15,188 --> 00:04:18,924
This is obvious in honor of
the business you guys ran.
113
00:04:19,126 --> 00:04:20,859
- That's correct.
- Dani said that you guys been,
114
00:04:20,928 --> 00:04:22,861
What year did you open up,
'71 or something?
115
00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:24,596
1971. We've been in
business 51 years now.
116
00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:26,932
My father founded cougar oil.
117
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:29,734
We branched out, but we're
still a selma company.
118
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:31,670
This is our roots.
- No kidding.
119
00:04:31,738 --> 00:04:32,737
We're looking for this stuff.
120
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:34,806
You can take the guy
out of jersey,
121
00:04:35,008 --> 00:04:36,007
But you can't take
jersey out of the guy.
122
00:04:36,076 --> 00:04:37,342
He's just like, I'm done with
this conversation,
123
00:04:37,544 --> 00:04:38,877
Here's the flyer.
124
00:04:38,946 --> 00:04:41,813
So you're going to see
like, gas and oil...
125
00:04:41,881 --> 00:04:44,749
Oil cans, signage.
All that stuff.
126
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:46,417
- I actually have
some of this stuff.
127
00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:47,618
- I would hope so.
128
00:04:47,688 --> 00:04:49,955
- Yeah, come on, guys, I got
some of this stuff this way.
129
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,990
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
130
00:05:02,770 --> 00:05:03,969
- Look at how many cactuses...
131
00:05:04,037 --> 00:05:06,638
- I know, I can't even
take my eyes off this...
132
00:05:06,707 --> 00:05:07,706
- Oh I love it.
- Gorgeous.
133
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:09,907
- Alright. So.
- Okay, focus.
134
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,044
We're going to see
a gentleman named drew.
135
00:05:12,246 --> 00:05:14,913
So drew likes tractors,
steam engines, farm equipment.
136
00:05:14,982 --> 00:05:16,982
Anything that's like,
ag-related he's into.
137
00:05:17,184 --> 00:05:20,786
I'm excited. This sounds
like it's right up my alley.
138
00:05:20,854 --> 00:05:22,721
- Yeah. It's an ag pick.
- I'm ready.
139
00:05:22,923 --> 00:05:24,789
This is it, right here.
This is it?
140
00:05:24,858 --> 00:05:26,725
- This is it, yep this
is it right here.
141
00:05:26,927 --> 00:05:28,794
- Wow.
- See what I'm talking about?
142
00:05:28,862 --> 00:05:30,862
- Holy cow.
- It's all big stuff.
143
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:34,332
- Look at those trucks.
- Exactly! See that?
144
00:05:34,401 --> 00:05:36,001
(honks horn)
145
00:05:38,806 --> 00:05:40,472
- How're you doing?
- Good.
146
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:41,873
- You drew?
- I am.
147
00:05:41,941 --> 00:05:43,808
- Rob wolfe. You talked to dani?
- Drew!
148
00:05:43,877 --> 00:05:46,945
- Dani, hey.
- It's good to see you.
149
00:05:47,014 --> 00:05:50,682
Aw, I'm so happy to see you.
This is beautiful.
150
00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:51,883
- Thank you.
- It's crazy.
151
00:05:51,951 --> 00:05:53,752
- I am a collector
of all kinds of stuff.
152
00:05:53,821 --> 00:05:56,688
On the big equipment
that I collect,
153
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:59,424
It was my passion of saving it.
154
00:05:59,626 --> 00:06:00,758
- Look at this though.
155
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:03,495
- I guess the biggest thing is,
is I just don't want to see
156
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:04,696
The stuff disappear.
157
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:06,631
- It's been sitting for a while
158
00:06:06,834 --> 00:06:09,033
And so we thought
we'd fire her up
159
00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:11,770
And see if we can get her to go.
This is al up here.
160
00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:13,038
- Hey al.
- Good to see you guys.
161
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,505
- Are you the fire tender?
- Yes, something like that.
162
00:06:14,574 --> 00:06:16,775
- It reminds me of...
163
00:06:16,977 --> 00:06:18,843
What's the movie...
The polar express?
164
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:20,779
- Oh yeah. Yeah, there you go.
- Amazing.
165
00:06:20,981 --> 00:06:24,049
- So what year is this thing?
- 1920.
166
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:27,852
So al, he is the man on
getting this stuff going.
167
00:06:27,921 --> 00:06:30,321
He's done steam for
how many years, al?
168
00:06:30,391 --> 00:06:31,656
- Since 1975.
169
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:34,592
It's so great to get the
knowledge
170
00:06:34,661 --> 00:06:36,194
Of these older guys on steam,
171
00:06:36,263 --> 00:06:40,531
To where I learn it, and then I
can teach it to other people.
172
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,134
Hey al, do you have this?
173
00:06:42,336 --> 00:06:44,536
I was going to show these guys a
little bit of stuff around here.
174
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:46,003
- Absolutely.
- Alright.
175
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:48,073
- It's hurry up and wait now.
- Nice to meet ya.
176
00:06:48,141 --> 00:06:50,675
- Hurry up and wait now,
that's how it is with steam?
177
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:52,610
So how many acres
you got out here?
178
00:06:52,679 --> 00:06:53,945
- We got 10 acres right here.
179
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:55,747
- And none of this was
here before you got here.
180
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:57,949
- No. I've been out
here since '97.
181
00:06:58,017 --> 00:07:00,818
- Got the collecting bug, huh?
- That's it.
182
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,821
- What's the deal with
this big bad boy?
183
00:07:03,023 --> 00:07:04,822
- Well, this was out
at the town of coolidge.
184
00:07:04,891 --> 00:07:07,692
This dent over here,
what happened was,
185
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,160
Is a cotton picker ran into it.
186
00:07:09,229 --> 00:07:12,230
They have a big basket on them.
So they're over-height.
187
00:07:12,299 --> 00:07:15,766
He got too close to the side of
the road, and smashed the sign.
188
00:07:15,836 --> 00:07:17,903
- Wow.
- So they put a new one up.
189
00:07:18,105 --> 00:07:19,704
- For this thing getting hit by
a cotton picker,
190
00:07:19,772 --> 00:07:20,972
It's actually not in bad shape.
191
00:07:21,174 --> 00:07:23,174
Somebody must have painted
over this or something.
192
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:26,845
- I just kind of thought that
that was the old look of rexall.
193
00:07:27,047 --> 00:07:28,713
- I'd strip that off,
is what I would do.
194
00:07:28,916 --> 00:07:30,582
'cause the blue is
underneath there.
195
00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:33,051
Somebody painted it yellow. Why?
196
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:35,786
I have no clue. I mean, it's
rubbing off on my hands.
197
00:07:35,856 --> 00:07:38,790
- I know the other sign,
it's all blue.
198
00:07:38,859 --> 00:07:40,192
- You have another one of these?
- Yeah.
199
00:07:40,394 --> 00:07:41,993
- Oh wow.
200
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:43,795
- Yeah, so that was the new
one that they put up.
201
00:07:43,997 --> 00:07:45,730
- Oh, after this one got-
- after this one.
202
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:47,131
- And you got 'em both.
- Correct.
203
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,467
I've not seen this sign with
this art deco-ness on here.
204
00:07:49,536 --> 00:07:50,869
This is kind of cool.
205
00:07:51,071 --> 00:07:52,870
Typically when you find these
rexall signs,
206
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:53,872
It's just the round
piece in the middle.
207
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:56,808
This one's got art deco
stainless steel.
208
00:07:56,877 --> 00:07:58,877
I mean, is this
something you'd sell?
209
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,145
- We're working on
getting a museum out here.
210
00:08:01,214 --> 00:08:03,682
And I think this one would
be a good fit for the museum.
211
00:08:03,884 --> 00:08:05,951
- The story?
- Right, the story.
212
00:08:06,153 --> 00:08:08,153
I think the other one would
be a better fit for you.
213
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:09,988
- Alright, I understand it.
I'll look at the other one.
214
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:17,629
- This place is huge.
- Yeah no, we've got...
215
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:18,830
We've got a big space here.
216
00:08:18,899 --> 00:08:20,965
- This probably at one
time was a façade.
217
00:08:21,034 --> 00:08:23,969
- This current building
was a dodge dealership.
218
00:08:24,171 --> 00:08:25,904
- Okay, so the whole thing
was a dodge dealership.
219
00:08:25,973 --> 00:08:27,572
- Yeah, it was called
hooper motor company.
220
00:08:27,774 --> 00:08:29,107
So we've been here since 1971.
221
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:31,843
- So from the very beginning,
you were in this building.
222
00:08:32,045 --> 00:08:33,778
- We've been here from
the very beginning.
223
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:34,912
You know, we love
water avenue and...
224
00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:37,115
- Wow, man.
- ...And the area down here, so.
225
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:39,918
- This is awesome, man.
- Look at these desks, mike.
226
00:08:39,987 --> 00:08:41,786
- Look at that.
What time period's this from?
227
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:43,788
- This is probably 1860,
around civil war.
228
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:44,789
- Where did you guys
find this at?
229
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,125
- It's just been
something my family had.
230
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:49,661
You know, as family members have
passed away, we've gotten
231
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:50,862
Different furniture and stuff.
232
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:51,997
- This is not
self-assembled furniture.
233
00:08:52,199 --> 00:08:53,932
This is not something that's
going to be falling apart
234
00:08:54,001 --> 00:08:56,200
In 10 years and you're
throwing it in the trash.
235
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:58,669
Like this is purposely built for
like a hotel desk or something.
236
00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:00,605
It's going to last you forever.
237
00:09:00,674 --> 00:09:03,408
Is this something you'd consider
selling, you want to sell that?
- Yeah, absolutely.
238
00:09:03,477 --> 00:09:06,011
- So what do you want
for something like that?
- What would you offer be?
239
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:10,014
Um, alright so this piece is
like, it doesn't open up.
240
00:09:10,083 --> 00:09:12,884
If this is always meant to
be just a solid piece.
241
00:09:12,953 --> 00:09:14,752
And this crack here
has got to be repaired.
242
00:09:14,821 --> 00:09:16,821
- Oh that's a crack.
- It's a crack.
243
00:09:17,024 --> 00:09:18,823
- Oh I thought the top
opened up like this.
244
00:09:19,026 --> 00:09:20,559
- No, no, no.
Look inside, mike, you see?
245
00:09:20,761 --> 00:09:23,094
You can see it, like inside...
246
00:09:23,163 --> 00:09:26,163
It's just, it's all purpose
built, just the way it is.
247
00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:28,900
You see like, the dovetails on
here, the hand-cut dovetail.
248
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:31,836
A hand-cut dovetail
is a wide dovetail.
249
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:34,038
You could see
the saw marks in the wood.
250
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:36,841
It looks so different than
a machine-cut dovetail,
251
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:38,843
Which is very
consistent and smaller.
252
00:09:39,046 --> 00:09:41,245
It's not a piece of junk
because it's walnut.
253
00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:44,249
I mean, somebody put some value
in, walnut was expensive wood.
254
00:09:44,317 --> 00:09:46,918
The secondary woods are poplar,
which are inexpensive woods,
255
00:09:46,987 --> 00:09:48,987
And that's why they're in
the inside the chest.
256
00:09:49,189 --> 00:09:50,922
- If there's some wood,
he's going to talk about it.
257
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:52,857
I mean, he's like,
professor woodrow wood.
258
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:55,794
And I love that, because
I'm learning constantly,
259
00:09:55,996 --> 00:09:58,596
And so is the person
that has the piece.
260
00:09:58,665 --> 00:09:59,998
- And it's been refinished.
261
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:02,466
If it had an old original
varnish finish on it,
262
00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:04,201
It would be so cool.
263
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:08,273
The hand-cut dovetails tells me
that this piece is pre-1880.
264
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:10,741
The primary woods and the way
that they are surfaced tells me
265
00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:12,209
That this piece
is pre-civil war.
266
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:14,745
The way it stands, the way it-
if you didn't do anything to it,
267
00:10:14,814 --> 00:10:16,614
You could probably
get maybe 450,
268
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:17,882
Maybe 500 bucks out of this.
269
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:19,417
- You know, what would
your, you know...
270
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:21,819
- Well because it needs work,
furniture values are not
what they used to be.
271
00:10:21,888 --> 00:10:23,954
I would go like
two and a quarter on it.
272
00:10:24,024 --> 00:10:25,824
Two and a quarter, how about,
would you do 250?
273
00:10:26,026 --> 00:10:30,028
- Yeah, alright, 250.
Alright. Thank you.
274
00:10:30,097 --> 00:10:33,164
It's a primitive, it's cool,
it'll fit in any décor.
275
00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:35,700
I want to get this piece in the
shop, put a little work into it,
276
00:10:35,902 --> 00:10:37,635
And get it to somebody as
passionate
277
00:10:37,704 --> 00:10:39,004
About the furniture as I am.
278
00:10:50,183 --> 00:10:52,517
- Here's what you got going on
that I'm excited about.
279
00:10:52,719 --> 00:10:54,786
The 260-z.
- The 260, yeah.
280
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,856
- Sexy car.
- So I had a 240, you know.
281
00:10:58,058 --> 00:11:00,124
And that was one of the
funnest cars I ever-
282
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:01,860
- Really? You had
one of these things?
- Oh yeah, man.
283
00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:04,796
- Originally, this car
belonged to my father.
284
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:08,199
And my grandfather
had to have this car.
285
00:11:08,267 --> 00:11:11,870
And so he bought it, and the
rest of his life, he drove it.
286
00:11:12,072 --> 00:11:14,538
- These are great cars, man.
Mine was a 240.
287
00:11:14,607 --> 00:11:15,673
And I think it was a '70.
288
00:11:15,742 --> 00:11:17,742
It was an incredible car for me.
289
00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:19,076
I mean, it was
a poor man's sports car.
290
00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:21,813
I think I scraped up like
1,200 bucks to buy this car,
291
00:11:21,882 --> 00:11:24,215
And I had about
$30,000 worth of fun.
292
00:11:24,284 --> 00:11:26,685
So you guys going to sell this?
What are you doing with this?
293
00:11:26,887 --> 00:11:29,020
No. This is just sentimental
value,
294
00:11:29,088 --> 00:11:30,888
Because of the time
my grandfather spent in it.
295
00:11:30,957 --> 00:11:32,090
- These are great cars.
I'll tell you what,
296
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,092
These have come around, man,
these are very collectable.
297
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,029
This 260, they're anywhere from
$15,000 to $30,000,
298
00:11:38,231 --> 00:11:41,165
Depending on obviously
the condition, the originality.
299
00:11:41,234 --> 00:11:44,769
This car needs some work, it's
been sitting for a long time.
300
00:11:44,838 --> 00:11:46,771
But it's still
a very desirable car.
301
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,773
- Whoa, look at this
cougar sign, man!
302
00:11:48,842 --> 00:11:50,908
- Oh yeah.
- That is outrageous! Wow!
303
00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:52,777
- Yes. This is one of my
favorites right there.
304
00:11:52,846 --> 00:11:54,846
- I've never seen
anything like this.
305
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:55,780
Have you ever seen
anything like this, mike?
306
00:11:55,982 --> 00:11:57,849
- No, man, I've never
seen that sign.
307
00:11:57,918 --> 00:11:58,983
- So if you guys had
service stations...
308
00:11:59,186 --> 00:12:00,852
Were these the signs hanging
on the outside of them?
309
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:02,721
- They were, they were.
This was our brand.
310
00:12:02,923 --> 00:12:04,922
- How old is this sign?
- Uh, '70s.
311
00:12:04,991 --> 00:12:06,791
- It's unbelievable, man.
- It's really amazing.
312
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:09,194
- Yes. It's double-sided.
- Let me see it.
313
00:12:09,262 --> 00:12:12,530
But this was actually, one of
them with the frame and all,
314
00:12:12,599 --> 00:12:15,600
That was actually hanging,
315
00:12:15,669 --> 00:12:17,802
And it's got weight to it, guys.
316
00:12:18,004 --> 00:12:20,004
- To see this sign in the
original building
317
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:22,741
That the company was founded in,
is pretty damn cool.
318
00:12:22,943 --> 00:12:24,809
So how many of these
were made then?
319
00:12:24,877 --> 00:12:25,676
How many stations
did you guys have?
320
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,945
- Oh, 13 or 14 back in the day.
321
00:12:28,014 --> 00:12:29,881
And we had a lot that
were scrapped and stuff.
322
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:32,951
Yeah, people didn't
realize the value.
323
00:12:33,019 --> 00:12:34,952
- How many of these do you have?
- Just a couple.
324
00:12:35,021 --> 00:12:37,355
- No kidding. And they're
both in this condition?
325
00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:38,889
- They are.
326
00:12:38,958 --> 00:12:40,491
- This sign is 1971,
but gas and oil stuff
327
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:41,826
Is really hot right now.
328
00:12:41,895 --> 00:12:44,095
So all these small
independent brands,
329
00:12:44,297 --> 00:12:47,432
Especially brands with animals
on them, are extremely hot.
330
00:12:47,634 --> 00:12:50,034
So this is incredible.
331
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:52,103
- Back when we had these 13
sites, and you know,
332
00:12:52,305 --> 00:12:55,640
We had an air force base and
different things around town.
333
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:56,507
We had a larger population.
334
00:12:56,576 --> 00:12:58,109
But the nice thing is,
335
00:12:58,311 --> 00:13:00,511
It's an exciting time. We're
starting to redevelop things.
336
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:02,513
If you come back in a couple of
years, you're not going to
recognize this.
337
00:13:02,582 --> 00:13:05,783
We saw down the road
here right on the street,
there was a hotel down there.
338
00:13:05,852 --> 00:13:06,985
- The hotel's
amazing over there.
339
00:13:07,053 --> 00:13:09,654
They just put 7 million
dollars into that hotel.
340
00:13:09,723 --> 00:13:10,922
- Really!
- Yeah, the st. James.
341
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:12,857
That was like the first
thing that got changed.
342
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:15,126
- Okay, that was the anchor.
- The anchor.
343
00:13:15,194 --> 00:13:17,595
And we think water avenue,
which we're on, is an anchor
344
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:19,597
For the redevelopment of selma.
345
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,066
Selma has a tremendous history.
346
00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:24,002
I mean, going back to the 1800s
when cotton was king.
347
00:13:24,204 --> 00:13:27,939
Now, selma is best known for the
civil rights struggle,
348
00:13:28,008 --> 00:13:30,875
Which we played
an enormous role in, you know.
349
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:32,743
I like to tell people
we're the capital
350
00:13:32,813 --> 00:13:35,013
Of the civil rights
movement here.
351
00:13:35,081 --> 00:13:36,881
Now we've just decided
that it was a good time
352
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:38,749
To kind of circle back
where we began.
353
00:13:38,819 --> 00:13:40,018
We've brought
the cougar brand back
354
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:41,953
And we're selling cougar
fuels throughout the southeast.
355
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:44,222
- No kidding.
- Fantastic. Congratulations.
356
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:46,156
- Thank you. The cougar sign
has a lot of sentimental value.
357
00:13:46,226 --> 00:13:50,295
But you know, now it's something
that not only from the past.
358
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:52,897
For this particular one,
it's probably going to go up
near the mural.
359
00:13:52,965 --> 00:13:54,833
So it'll be hung on
the pole out there.
360
00:13:55,035 --> 00:13:57,368
So it's kind of part
of the whole project.
361
00:13:57,570 --> 00:13:59,504
- No kidding. So you're
going to hang this back
on the original pole?
362
00:13:59,706 --> 00:14:00,972
- Yes.
- That's awesome!
363
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:03,508
You know, I haven't planned,
but I do have one that
364
00:14:03,710 --> 00:14:04,909
I might entertain selling.
365
00:14:04,978 --> 00:14:06,777
You know, I'd have to
think about it for...
366
00:14:06,847 --> 00:14:09,246
- Well let me,
to be honest with you,
367
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:11,516
If you're kind of entertaining
selling one, let me think about
368
00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:13,117
What I would even offer you.
369
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:15,920
Because I've never seen one.
So I've never seen one sell.
370
00:14:15,989 --> 00:14:18,256
I mean, anything with
animals on it is hot.
371
00:14:18,324 --> 00:14:21,592
And this is porcelain, it's gas
and oil, and then it's southern.
372
00:14:21,661 --> 00:14:23,728
In this community, it's...
373
00:14:23,796 --> 00:14:25,997
It's got a lot going on.
- Yeah.
374
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:36,541
- Holy cow.
What year is this machine?
375
00:14:36,609 --> 00:14:37,742
- This is early '30s.
376
00:14:37,811 --> 00:14:40,011
- Man, when you talk
about primitive.
377
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:41,546
- Yeah. I had to buy it
because it reminded me
378
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:43,948
So much of my dad's stories.
379
00:14:44,017 --> 00:14:45,816
You know, riding on the combine
with my dad,
380
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:48,753
He had an old pipe
that he would smoke.
381
00:14:48,955 --> 00:14:51,155
And the memories of
that was so great.
382
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:53,958
And then whenever I got older,
I got to drive the tractors.
383
00:14:54,027 --> 00:14:56,961
So I think it just kind
of bled me into this.
384
00:14:57,029 --> 00:15:00,431
So this shed over here,
I've got more stuff.
385
00:15:00,499 --> 00:15:02,901
- This is a problem with the guy
that's got a lot of sheds
on his property.
386
00:15:03,103 --> 00:15:05,569
'cause they all get cram
packed with everything.
387
00:15:05,638 --> 00:15:06,904
- Well, you fill one up...
388
00:15:06,973 --> 00:15:09,007
- You fill one up,
you go to the next one.
389
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:12,010
Man, look at those
branding irons.
390
00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:14,846
Some killer stuff in here.
391
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:17,181
I see you got
a nice crock in here.
392
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:19,583
- Yeah, there's a crock there.
- It's got cracks on it though.
393
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:20,985
- That makes it look better.
394
00:15:21,053 --> 00:15:23,454
- What's the deal with
this sign that's in here?
395
00:15:23,523 --> 00:15:25,589
- What is that one?
396
00:15:25,658 --> 00:15:26,790
- Dixie gas.
- Oh it is?
397
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:28,526
You know, I kind
of forgot I had that.
398
00:15:28,728 --> 00:15:29,794
- Where the heck did the...
399
00:15:29,862 --> 00:15:32,063
Why would this sign
be down here?
400
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:34,598
Dixie was one of those regional
brands out of louisiana.
401
00:15:34,668 --> 00:15:35,867
And you just don't find them.
402
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:39,537
- You know, it came out
of a museum in yuma
403
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:41,005
Called the tractor dome.
404
00:15:41,073 --> 00:15:43,408
- To find it out here
in the middle of arizona,
405
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:44,609
Very unusual.
406
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:46,010
- Not perfect by no means.
407
00:15:48,081 --> 00:15:50,014
It's actually in pretty
good shape, I think.
408
00:15:52,885 --> 00:15:54,986
A little fade to it,
but it'd clean up.
409
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:57,355
That's a pretty rare
sign, actually.
410
00:15:57,557 --> 00:15:58,756
- Is it?
- Yeah.
411
00:15:58,825 --> 00:16:00,558
Dixie gas, anything
with dixie on it.
412
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,226
The other side's not that bad.
413
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:04,495
I mean, it's got some chalkiness
to it, that's the only thing,
414
00:16:04,563 --> 00:16:06,163
When you look at it.
415
00:16:06,232 --> 00:16:09,834
But you can put some special wax
on that and let it soak in.
416
00:16:09,903 --> 00:16:12,503
But if this thing
was dead mint, 5k plus.
417
00:16:12,571 --> 00:16:13,638
- Really?
- Yeah.
418
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,507
And when I mean mint, it's got
to be like 9.75, not a hit,
419
00:16:16,576 --> 00:16:17,908
Not a scratch, nothing.
420
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:20,011
Right. What are you
thinking, a few grand?
421
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:26,985
1,800.
422
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:31,990
Hmm.
423
00:16:36,462 --> 00:16:36,995
How about 1,900?
424
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:48,139
- I'm doing it.
- Alright.
425
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:51,009
I was surprised that he threw
out the number that he had,
426
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:53,011
But of course I had to bump
him a little bit on it.
427
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:04,088
- So these were other brands you
guys were selling gas to then.
428
00:17:04,290 --> 00:17:07,825
- That's right it's kind of like
the evolution of our brands.
429
00:17:07,894 --> 00:17:11,829
We started cougar,
and then we went 76,
430
00:17:11,898 --> 00:17:14,898
And then 76 pulled out
of the southeast.
431
00:17:14,967 --> 00:17:16,500
And so my father and a group
of other guys
432
00:17:16,569 --> 00:17:18,769
Formed the pure co-op.
433
00:17:18,838 --> 00:17:20,905
We brought the
brand back to life.
434
00:17:21,107 --> 00:17:23,975
- Pure oil company has
been around since 1914.
435
00:17:24,177 --> 00:17:27,044
So it's pretty cool that rex
and a few other people
436
00:17:27,113 --> 00:17:29,313
Have rebranded that,
brought it back to the market,
437
00:17:29,516 --> 00:17:30,915
Reintroduced it.
438
00:17:31,117 --> 00:17:32,383
It's so cool you guys are
preserving this brand.
439
00:17:32,585 --> 00:17:34,452
Oh yeah. Absolutely.
440
00:17:34,521 --> 00:17:35,720
What about this piece?
441
00:17:35,922 --> 00:17:37,655
I mean, this is not
a big money sign.
442
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:39,056
Especially because it's plastic.
443
00:17:39,125 --> 00:17:42,059
But with signs escalating
the way they are value-wise,
444
00:17:42,128 --> 00:17:46,063
This is the stuff that,
you know, I don't want to say
445
00:17:46,132 --> 00:17:49,000
The future of advertising,
but it's the future of it
446
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:51,002
In a way that people
can afford to get into it.
447
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:55,673
You know, this has no
sentimental attachment.
448
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:57,675
What would you be interested in?
449
00:17:57,743 --> 00:17:59,010
I'd be interested in it for...
450
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:01,812
For like 200 bucks,
to be honest with you,
451
00:18:01,881 --> 00:18:02,946
I think the retail
on it's probably...
452
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:06,683
- Plastic sign.
- 350 to four and a quarter.
453
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:10,087
- Sounds good to me.
- Alright.
454
00:18:10,156 --> 00:18:11,989
(laughs) thanks, man.
And it's not a space saver, man.
455
00:18:24,036 --> 00:18:26,770
- What about the car?
Who restored this car?
456
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,639
- This was actually
my aunt's father.
457
00:18:28,707 --> 00:18:30,908
He was a model a enthusiast.
458
00:18:30,977 --> 00:18:33,444
I can remember mr. Woody being
in the parades
459
00:18:33,513 --> 00:18:34,311
When I was younger.
460
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:36,980
Oh this is actually
in good shape.
461
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:38,716
- Whoever the king of
the parade or the queen
462
00:18:38,918 --> 00:18:40,518
Would get to ride
in the rumble seat.
463
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:42,253
So that was pretty neat.
464
00:18:42,321 --> 00:18:45,123
- So what's going on with this,
are you guys going to sell this?
465
00:18:45,325 --> 00:18:47,258
- Well, this belongs to my aunt.
And I mean, she's actually here.
466
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:49,593
- You want me to go get her?
- I'll listen to a number
on it, yeah.
467
00:18:49,662 --> 00:18:51,195
- Alright, let me go get her.
468
00:18:51,263 --> 00:18:53,998
- You know, my aunt amelia,
had all this collection of stuff
469
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:55,933
That's been in the building
for over 30 years.
470
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:59,403
And she was overwhelmed.
Alright guys, I found her.
471
00:18:59,606 --> 00:19:00,671
- Hey!
- Awesome.
472
00:19:00,739 --> 00:19:03,407
If I can help her sell some of
these things, you know,
473
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:04,208
That'll be great.
474
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:06,677
- Are you the model a owner?
- She is.
475
00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:08,946
This is my aunt amelia jones.
476
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:11,816
- Hi.
- Her father, woody
had this stuff.
477
00:19:12,018 --> 00:19:13,551
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
478
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:14,485
- Hey, I'm mike.
- Hey mike.
479
00:19:14,687 --> 00:19:15,686
- How are you?
- Good.
480
00:19:15,755 --> 00:19:17,821
- I'm jon.
- It's a great car.
481
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:20,424
- My father was oliver
woodruff rives.
482
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:22,493
He loved to collect.
483
00:19:22,695 --> 00:19:24,562
His passion was collecting
484
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:27,498
Model a cars and parts.
485
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,966
- I love the colors.
486
00:19:29,035 --> 00:19:31,836
Ford had such interesting
color choices for rims.
487
00:19:32,038 --> 00:19:33,171
- And he was always
working on something.
488
00:19:33,373 --> 00:19:34,972
- What are you guys'
plans for this?
What are you thinking?
489
00:19:35,041 --> 00:19:37,842
- Well, we'd like to sell
it for the right price.
490
00:19:38,044 --> 00:19:39,910
- Okay. So you guys
have thought about it,
491
00:19:39,979 --> 00:19:41,912
And it's something
you're going to sell.
492
00:19:41,981 --> 00:19:43,781
So how long ago did
he restore this car?
493
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:45,849
- I think it was
in the early '70s.
494
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:47,651
- And did he do most
of the work himself?
495
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,054
- He did it all himself.
- Really.
496
00:19:50,122 --> 00:19:51,722
- Put a lot of time into it.
- It's done really well.
497
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:52,990
- Good.
- I mean, it really is.
498
00:19:53,059 --> 00:19:56,928
For a restoration that's not
like concours d'elegance
499
00:19:57,130 --> 00:19:59,663
Museum-quality, it's
a restoration for a driver.
500
00:19:59,732 --> 00:20:01,732
- Right.
- Did he have other cars?
501
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:04,001
I have this and the model a
pickup,
502
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:06,803
Which isn't restored yet,
all the pieces there though.
503
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:09,406
Okay. And that one's
not put together.
504
00:20:09,475 --> 00:20:10,541
- No.
- Okay.
505
00:20:10,743 --> 00:20:11,876
- He could repair anything.
506
00:20:12,078 --> 00:20:13,878
- And he traveled all
over the united states
507
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,947
Looking for model a cars
and trucks and parts.
508
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:19,417
- So it was definitely more than
a hobby for him,
509
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:20,418
It was a passion.
510
00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:22,152
- Exactly.
- Okay.
511
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,822
So have you talked to anybody in
regards to value of the car?
512
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:28,359
- I had heard maybe it's
worth about 10,000.
513
00:20:29,229 --> 00:20:32,229
- In this condition, sitting for
as long as it has, probably...
514
00:20:32,298 --> 00:20:34,365
- We'd have to go through the
motor and see what's going on.
515
00:20:34,434 --> 00:20:36,033
If it turns over.
516
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,835
There's a lot of little
things you got to figure out.
517
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:40,571
- This car is
a legacy piece to her.
518
00:20:40,773 --> 00:20:41,972
Once we said the $10,000 number,
519
00:20:42,041 --> 00:20:43,974
I could tell that's
the number she wants to get.
520
00:20:44,043 --> 00:20:46,043
And she probably will to
the right guy that's local
521
00:20:46,112 --> 00:20:48,445
That doesn't have to pay
shipping and all that stuff.
522
00:20:48,514 --> 00:20:50,047
Where is the um...
523
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:52,582
The truck you said you have,
you got a truck in pieces?
524
00:20:52,652 --> 00:20:53,383
- Yes.
- Where's that at?
525
00:20:53,452 --> 00:20:54,652
In the next room.
526
00:20:54,721 --> 00:20:56,654
- Can we look at that?
- Sure.
527
00:20:56,723 --> 00:20:57,989
And then kind of
think about this?
528
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:07,598
I saw you got some branding
irons in here,
529
00:21:07,666 --> 00:21:09,867
Like a whole pile of them.
530
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:11,401
- Yeah.
- What's the deal with these?
531
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:13,537
You know, a guy
532
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:14,939
Had a collection of these
533
00:21:15,007 --> 00:21:16,940
And I bought the whole
collection from him,
534
00:21:17,010 --> 00:21:19,810
And I really haven't done
much research on them.
535
00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:23,014
I mean, I'd be interested
in all of them.
536
00:21:23,883 --> 00:21:25,482
Well, I might want
to keep a couple.
537
00:21:25,551 --> 00:21:27,818
Let's lay these out here.
538
00:21:27,887 --> 00:21:28,986
Let's figure out how
many you got here.
539
00:21:30,690 --> 00:21:31,822
There's a lot of them in here.
540
00:21:32,024 --> 00:21:35,426
- They actually had
different designs too,
541
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:36,827
Like this guy here...
542
00:21:36,896 --> 00:21:40,097
- Yeah, what is that?
- That's a cowboy.
543
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:42,967
With the branding irons,
that was the mark of the ranch.
544
00:21:43,035 --> 00:21:45,702
If the cow got out of
the rancher's property
545
00:21:45,771 --> 00:21:47,972
And to another rancher's
property,
546
00:21:48,174 --> 00:21:50,907
They could identify their
cattle through that brand.
547
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:52,776
So like this one here
I'll probably keep.
548
00:21:52,845 --> 00:21:54,644
- Double-h.
- Yeah, double-h, so.
549
00:21:54,714 --> 00:21:56,847
I just couldn't pass them up.
550
00:21:56,915 --> 00:21:58,582
It's just so involved
to figure out
551
00:21:58,651 --> 00:21:59,917
Where it came from originally,
552
00:21:59,985 --> 00:22:03,254
That I figured I'd let
robbie handle that.
553
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:04,455
- 24.
554
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:06,991
- 24 of them? Hmm.
555
00:22:08,394 --> 00:22:09,994
460 bucks.
556
00:22:11,931 --> 00:22:12,797
I'm terrible at math.
What do you...
557
00:22:12,999 --> 00:22:15,733
- That's 20, I'm coming up
with $20 apiece.
558
00:22:15,935 --> 00:22:18,802
- $20 apiece?
40 bucks, instead of 20.
559
00:22:18,871 --> 00:22:21,472
(groans) so here's
the deal on these.
560
00:22:21,674 --> 00:22:22,806
The more ornate they are,
561
00:22:22,875 --> 00:22:23,941
The more money they're
going to demand.
562
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:26,543
I mean, this one that you
said was a cowboy,
563
00:22:26,612 --> 00:22:28,078
That's kind of unusual.
564
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:30,881
Well, I know some of them's
going to be, 70, $80.
565
00:22:30,949 --> 00:22:32,883
Some of them probably $10,
so you know,
566
00:22:32,951 --> 00:22:33,984
Averaging about 40
would be about right.
567
00:22:35,555 --> 00:22:37,988
- 25 bucks apiece.
568
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:41,992
- How about 30?
569
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,900
- 27.
570
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:51,234
- Oh, you're killing me.
- I'm gonna kill ya.
571
00:22:51,303 --> 00:22:53,003
- 28.50.
572
00:22:55,775 --> 00:22:57,842
- Just make it 600
for all of them.
573
00:22:57,910 --> 00:22:59,009
- I'll tell you what,
let's do 650.
574
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:04,014
- 625.
575
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:05,916
(sighs)
576
00:23:05,985 --> 00:23:07,985
You're taking way too much
meat off of these.
577
00:23:10,923 --> 00:23:13,256
You're at 625
and I want to be 650.
578
00:23:13,325 --> 00:23:15,325
So 650...
579
00:23:15,395 --> 00:23:16,460
(laughs) dang...
580
00:23:16,529 --> 00:23:18,529
- 650.
- Alright.
581
00:23:18,597 --> 00:23:19,797
He was playing hardball,
582
00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:22,933
But I enjoy the bickering
back and forth.
583
00:23:23,001 --> 00:23:24,001
I think he squeaks
a little bit sometimes.
584
00:23:34,947 --> 00:23:37,614
- Alright yeah, this
sucker is in pieces.
585
00:23:37,683 --> 00:23:39,617
So I see you got the cab here.
586
00:23:39,685 --> 00:23:40,484
You got a few extra frames.
587
00:23:40,553 --> 00:23:42,686
He was heavy into it.
588
00:23:42,755 --> 00:23:44,488
So why didn't he
finish this truck?
589
00:23:44,557 --> 00:23:46,557
Well, about that time,
590
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:49,427
We were able to acquire
591
00:23:49,629 --> 00:23:51,495
An 1829 antebellum home.
592
00:23:51,563 --> 00:23:53,897
And had to be moved.
593
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:56,233
And he volunteered to
help at 65 years old.
594
00:23:56,302 --> 00:23:59,836
- So you guys actually had to
take it apart then, to move it?
595
00:23:59,905 --> 00:24:01,505
- Oh yes.
And then put it back together.
596
00:24:01,573 --> 00:24:02,973
- Wow...
-And um...
597
00:24:03,042 --> 00:24:05,843
- Did they finish that?
- He did, he finished it.
598
00:24:06,045 --> 00:24:07,043
And now it took about
three or four years.
599
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:10,714
But by the time he was
about through, he got sick.
600
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:12,716
And he died.
- Oh I'm sorry.
601
00:24:12,785 --> 00:24:16,387
So he could not
finish his pickup.
602
00:24:16,589 --> 00:24:17,788
And on his deathbed,
603
00:24:17,856 --> 00:24:19,923
He wanted me to make
two promises.
604
00:24:19,992 --> 00:24:22,059
That I would take care
of mother, which I did.
605
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:25,463
And that I would have his
pickup truck put together.
606
00:24:25,665 --> 00:24:26,997
There it is.
- Okay.
607
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,866
(sighs) it's a bigger project
608
00:24:29,935 --> 00:24:32,069
Than I would want to
personally take on.
609
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:34,605
But jon and I both know guys
that are into trucks.
610
00:24:34,674 --> 00:24:37,741
And we can, we can talk to them.
611
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:39,810
In order to get her
the most money,
612
00:24:39,879 --> 00:24:41,211
I don't need to be
the middleman here.
613
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,148
I know people that can take this
truck across the finish line,
614
00:24:45,218 --> 00:24:48,552
Restore it, put it back on the
road, where it needs to be,
615
00:24:48,754 --> 00:24:49,887
Instead of just a pile of parts.
616
00:24:50,089 --> 00:24:51,989
What about this pump here?
- Sure. I'd sell it.
617
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:05,769
- What about this pump here?
- Sure. I'd sell it.
618
00:25:05,838 --> 00:25:08,639
- Okay so this is
called a mae west.
619
00:25:08,708 --> 00:25:10,441
Has anybody told you guys that?
620
00:25:10,643 --> 00:25:11,775
Okay, see the figure?
621
00:25:11,978 --> 00:25:13,978
See how it goes like this?
- Oh really!
622
00:25:14,046 --> 00:25:17,180
It's kind of a slight
hourglass shape to it.
623
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:20,517
Visible pumps were around from
the 'teens through the 1920s.
624
00:25:20,586 --> 00:25:21,985
This was made by fry,
625
00:25:22,054 --> 00:25:25,589
And it is an iconic pump
when it comes to petroliana.
626
00:25:25,657 --> 00:25:26,856
The mae west pump might be
627
00:25:26,926 --> 00:25:28,525
One of the sexiest pumps
they've ever made.
628
00:25:28,594 --> 00:25:29,860
See the gallon markings?
629
00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:31,995
- Is this cracked
anywhere on that side?
630
00:25:32,064 --> 00:25:34,331
- Yeah, you got a crack right
here, mike, look it,
631
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:35,465
All the way down.
632
00:25:35,535 --> 00:25:38,669
- Oh yeah it is, okay.
633
00:25:38,737 --> 00:25:40,804
- Which is kind of a big deal.
634
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:42,006
This hinge is rotted
off, kind of.
635
00:25:42,074 --> 00:25:43,874
- Yeah, it's been sitting
outside for a long time.
636
00:25:43,943 --> 00:25:47,544
It's beautiful though.
Was that your dad's?
637
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:49,145
- He kept it by his shop.
638
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:53,216
- Ok, alright. I think the
retail number on that, uhh...
639
00:25:53,286 --> 00:25:54,551
(exhales)
640
00:25:54,620 --> 00:25:57,888
1,800 bucks, in that shape.
641
00:25:57,957 --> 00:25:58,989
Do you have any idea
what you'd want for it?
642
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,492
What do you want for it?
643
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:03,894
You want 2,000 bucks?
644
00:26:03,962 --> 00:26:07,565
(all laugh)
- you're right on the money.
645
00:26:07,767 --> 00:26:08,565
I can't do 2,000 bucks on it.
646
00:26:08,634 --> 00:26:10,367
It's got a cracked cylinder.
647
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,235
- Oh.
- Yeah.
648
00:26:12,304 --> 00:26:13,771
(laughs)
649
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:15,572
Did you have to see that?
- I know.
650
00:26:15,641 --> 00:26:16,774
I thought it was a shadow.
651
00:26:16,976 --> 00:26:19,109
- Are you sure it's not
a drip of paint?
652
00:26:19,177 --> 00:26:21,178
- No, it's a crack. This
cylinder's definitely cracked.
653
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:24,014
- That's not a bird dropping.
- It's not a bird dropping, no.
654
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:26,850
- Let me think about it,
655
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:28,251
'cause there's other
stuff to look at here.
656
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,520
- Okay.
657
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,789
- So amelia, what about the
elephant in the room right here?
658
00:26:31,857 --> 00:26:33,657
This thing is
a good looking sign.
659
00:26:33,725 --> 00:26:34,791
It's got a great paint on it.
660
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,926
The base is there,
the original base.
661
00:26:36,996 --> 00:26:38,595
It's got the original
holder for this sign.
662
00:26:38,664 --> 00:26:42,265
But the problem is this side.
663
00:26:42,334 --> 00:26:43,734
- Yeah.
664
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:44,735
- You can see that's
all coming off,
665
00:26:44,803 --> 00:26:47,538
The paint's coming
off of here.
666
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:48,806
That's the money side.
667
00:26:49,008 --> 00:26:50,273
Is this something
you'd consider selling?
668
00:26:50,342 --> 00:26:51,875
- Sure.
669
00:26:52,078 --> 00:26:55,012
- What were you thinking
about you'd want for it?
670
00:26:57,349 --> 00:26:58,215
- 750?
671
00:26:58,284 --> 00:26:59,749
- Hmm.
672
00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:01,619
- We're buying signs
you can read.
673
00:27:01,821 --> 00:27:03,887
One side you can't read,
so to me,
674
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:06,223
I got to get this price
at half the value.
675
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:09,026
I don't think I'm going to go
anymore than 500 on the thing.
676
00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:11,227
That's as far as I can
go on something like that.
677
00:27:11,296 --> 00:27:13,229
- 550?
678
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:14,164
- Ugh...
679
00:27:14,366 --> 00:27:17,233
- Oh come on, look how
good that one side is.
680
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:20,037
You're only going to be looking
at one side, put it to the wall.
681
00:27:20,239 --> 00:27:22,572
- You can put, you can put
this side against the wall.
682
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:23,440
(laughs)
- that's right.
683
00:27:23,509 --> 00:27:26,576
Ugh... Alright, 550.
684
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:28,311
- Alright.
- Thank you.
685
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:29,980
- Alright.
686
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:30,914
- I was pleased with what
they offered, yeah.
687
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:32,983
- It's a good deal for everyone.
- Alright.
688
00:27:37,790 --> 00:27:39,589
- This one here,
I was in an auction,
689
00:27:39,659 --> 00:27:42,192
And I loved this one painting.
690
00:27:42,394 --> 00:27:44,128
- Okay.
691
00:27:44,196 --> 00:27:46,530
- But to get the painting,
I had to buy the whole lot.
692
00:27:46,598 --> 00:27:49,266
(laughs) and you did.
693
00:27:49,468 --> 00:27:50,667
So... I did.
694
00:27:50,736 --> 00:27:52,536
And it's like well, what do I do
with all these other paintings?
695
00:27:52,605 --> 00:27:55,005
So I stuck them in a shed.
696
00:27:58,144 --> 00:28:00,610
It's going to be a little
bit tight to get in here.
697
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:02,479
20 years later, it's like...
698
00:28:02,548 --> 00:28:04,615
It's been 20 years?
699
00:28:04,817 --> 00:28:07,751
(laughing) so here, here we go.
700
00:28:07,819 --> 00:28:10,353
- Kenny rogers.
Ohh, woo-woo...
701
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:12,823
- Merle haggard.
702
00:28:12,892 --> 00:28:15,425
Right here, here's
your favorite person.
703
00:28:15,494 --> 00:28:16,827
- Dolly!
- Yeah.
704
00:28:16,896 --> 00:28:18,629
- Hi, how are you?
- Hey, I'm danielle...
705
00:28:18,831 --> 00:28:20,497
- Hi danielle.
- This is lauren.
706
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:21,899
So nice to meet you. I do.
707
00:28:21,967 --> 00:28:25,102
- Yeah, we could be twins.
- We could be!
708
00:28:25,171 --> 00:28:27,905
- Every day of my life, I
have to shut up and ask myself,
709
00:28:27,973 --> 00:28:30,107
'shut up, danielle, what would
dolly do?'
710
00:28:30,309 --> 00:28:34,911
When you find the trifecta of
kenny rogers, merle haggard,
711
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:37,514
And of course, the ultimate
dolly parton,
712
00:28:37,583 --> 00:28:38,849
You don't turn your back.
713
00:28:38,917 --> 00:28:40,517
These appear to be
original drawings.
714
00:28:40,586 --> 00:28:41,985
I really hope they are.
715
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:43,987
What do you got to have
for the three of these?
716
00:28:46,458 --> 00:28:47,991
- I don't know...
717
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:49,993
40 apiece?
718
00:28:54,667 --> 00:28:55,999
- How about 100 for all of them?
719
00:28:56,468 --> 00:28:57,534
- How about 110?
720
00:28:58,270 --> 00:29:01,738
- Yeah, I'll do it. For the sake
of dolly, I'll do it, yeah.
721
00:29:01,807 --> 00:29:04,007
- There you go. Alright.
- Awesome.
722
00:29:07,078 --> 00:29:09,813
- What about the benz?
- Oh this was my dad's.
723
00:29:09,882 --> 00:29:11,615
- How long has it been stored?
- '90s.
724
00:29:11,817 --> 00:29:13,617
- Can we see it?
- Absolutely.
725
00:29:13,819 --> 00:29:15,752
- What is it? It's a...
- 280-e.
726
00:29:15,821 --> 00:29:18,488
- 280-e.
Ah, look at that green, man.
727
00:29:18,557 --> 00:29:20,991
It's like a green-grey.
728
00:29:21,626 --> 00:29:24,694
(wolf whistles) oh yeah.
729
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:26,363
- That's a great color.
- Woo!
730
00:29:26,432 --> 00:29:27,697
- That's a '77.
731
00:29:27,767 --> 00:29:29,032
- This was your dad's car?
- Yes.
732
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:30,634
- The fact that it's been
sitting since the '90s.
733
00:29:30,702 --> 00:29:33,971
- Oh yeah.
- Man, I mean...
734
00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:35,773
They're iconic cars
and they're super cool,
735
00:29:35,975 --> 00:29:37,107
But they're super
expensive to work on.
736
00:29:37,309 --> 00:29:39,909
You know, so I'm going to pull
myself away from this thing.
737
00:29:39,978 --> 00:29:41,979
It's hard, but I'm
going to have to do it.
738
00:29:42,047 --> 00:29:44,180
So what's up with
the bicycle shop over here?
739
00:29:44,249 --> 00:29:47,851
- Oh man, so my father was
really into biking for a while.
740
00:29:47,919 --> 00:29:49,920
- So your father was
a renaissance man.
741
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:52,522
I mean, he was into, he
was driving the mercedes,
742
00:29:52,591 --> 00:29:53,790
He was riding a recumbent.
743
00:29:53,859 --> 00:29:55,592
- Yes.
- These aren't cheap bicycles.
744
00:29:55,661 --> 00:29:56,793
These are recumbent bicycles.
745
00:29:56,862 --> 00:30:00,063
You sit basically in a reclining
position,
746
00:30:00,266 --> 00:30:02,866
Your legs are forward in front
of you pedaling like this.
747
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:06,469
Dude, this is a titanium
bike made in america.
748
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:08,805
The litespeed brand.
749
00:30:08,874 --> 00:30:09,873
I used to sell these
at my bike shop.
750
00:30:09,941 --> 00:30:12,809
This is a bicycle, a titanium
bicycle
751
00:30:12,878 --> 00:30:14,478
With campagnolo record
components.
752
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,613
This is a polished frame,
753
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,215
Made in chattanooga, tennessee,
754
00:30:18,417 --> 00:30:20,016
Handmade.
755
00:30:20,085 --> 00:30:22,552
Would you sell this litespeed?
- Yeah. Yeah we would.
756
00:30:22,621 --> 00:30:23,887
- Oh this thing's nice.
757
00:30:23,955 --> 00:30:25,955
This bike back in the day,
was big money.
758
00:30:26,024 --> 00:30:28,825
But right now, these bikes
are extremely cheap
759
00:30:28,894 --> 00:30:30,894
Because they're kind of
in-between.
760
00:30:31,096 --> 00:30:34,030
- That thing's a nice bike.
Look at the wheel.
761
00:30:34,099 --> 00:30:36,433
- You know, I'd say this thing
is probably late '90s.
762
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:37,767
Here we are in 2022.
763
00:30:37,837 --> 00:30:39,236
You know, so it's
got some time on it.
764
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:42,239
Give it another 15 years and
it's going to probably explode.
765
00:30:42,441 --> 00:30:43,006
600 bucks.
766
00:30:45,311 --> 00:30:46,310
- Deal.
767
00:30:46,378 --> 00:30:48,011
- Alright, that was easy,
alright thanks, man.
768
00:30:58,991 --> 00:31:01,457
- So I've got, I don't know,
100 plus tractors
769
00:31:01,526 --> 00:31:02,859
That I've collected.
770
00:31:02,928 --> 00:31:05,529
Now this one here, there is
about 10 4h kids
771
00:31:05,597 --> 00:31:06,863
That painted this one.
772
00:31:06,932 --> 00:31:08,598
Every year, we were
doing a tractor project.
773
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:11,001
This year was for breast cancer.
774
00:31:11,070 --> 00:31:13,670
And I told them I had
the perfect tractor for it.
775
00:31:13,738 --> 00:31:16,740
4h is such a great organization.
776
00:31:16,809 --> 00:31:18,542
They tore this thing
completely down.
777
00:31:18,744 --> 00:31:20,076
And then brought it back up.
778
00:31:20,145 --> 00:31:24,214
To have these kids come out
here, learn about tractors
779
00:31:24,282 --> 00:31:27,618
And learn about how they work,
and bring them back to life.
780
00:31:27,820 --> 00:31:28,986
- Wow.
- They did a great job.
781
00:31:32,691 --> 00:31:34,824
- There's the coke machine.
782
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:36,760
- Yeah, that's amelia's
stuff back here.
783
00:31:36,829 --> 00:31:39,562
- Amelia this is all your stuff?
- It is.
784
00:31:39,632 --> 00:31:42,098
- Yeah, 'fraid so.
(laughs)
785
00:31:42,167 --> 00:31:44,768
My dad's things that he had
collected through the years,
786
00:31:44,837 --> 00:31:46,836
We really don't have
any use for them.
787
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:49,840
And I want his things
to go to somebody
788
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:51,375
That can enjoy them
and restore them.
789
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,577
- It's a model 39.
790
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:54,778
It's got the wheel in it.
791
00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:57,047
You can see when
you open the door.
792
00:31:57,116 --> 00:31:58,315
It's got the round wheel where
all the bottles went in,
793
00:31:58,517 --> 00:31:59,716
It's aluminum.
794
00:31:59,785 --> 00:32:01,651
And a lot of times
that's missing.
795
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,053
So that's nice that it's there.
796
00:32:03,121 --> 00:32:04,854
This is a desirable machine,
because it's upright,
797
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:06,990
It's not a cooler,
and it's original paint.
798
00:32:07,059 --> 00:32:09,459
And the fountain just kicks
it up a few notches,
799
00:32:09,527 --> 00:32:11,061
Having that on it.
800
00:32:11,129 --> 00:32:14,998
This is a vendo model 39,
late '40s, original paint.
801
00:32:15,067 --> 00:32:17,467
It's got its nicks
and its scuffs and its dings,
802
00:32:17,535 --> 00:32:19,136
But it's complete.
803
00:32:19,338 --> 00:32:20,804
When I'm looking at this, I'm
looking at it from a perspective
804
00:32:20,873 --> 00:32:24,207
Of someone buying it
and displaying it.
805
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:28,278
I mean, I'd be interested in it
the way it sits right now...
806
00:32:28,347 --> 00:32:30,146
For 1,000.
807
00:32:30,215 --> 00:32:32,983
I think the retail on it, number
the way it sits right now...
808
00:32:34,753 --> 00:32:38,021
15, 16? If it ran,
then it goes up.
809
00:32:38,089 --> 00:32:39,489
- Yeah, the compression's not
going to last long
810
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:40,824
Even if it does ran.
811
00:32:40,893 --> 00:32:41,992
- I don't know, what are
you guys thinking?
812
00:32:43,362 --> 00:32:44,995
1,200?
813
00:32:51,569 --> 00:32:52,635
I'm going to do it.
814
00:32:52,704 --> 00:32:55,638
- Alright.
- There you go.
815
00:32:55,708 --> 00:32:56,973
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
816
00:32:57,042 --> 00:32:58,374
- I bought something from you!
- Praise god.
817
00:32:58,443 --> 00:32:59,909
(group laughing)
818
00:32:59,979 --> 00:33:01,979
- The fact that this one's been
kept inside
819
00:33:02,181 --> 00:33:05,015
For a number of years,
pushes it to the next level.
820
00:33:07,585 --> 00:33:08,986
Model a door handles.
821
00:33:14,259 --> 00:33:16,460
- Ugh...
822
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:17,995
Amelia!
- Yes.
823
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:20,463
Springfield.
- Yeah.
824
00:33:20,532 --> 00:33:22,932
- Paint's nice. 1963.
825
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:26,003
Kelly tires go back to
the turn-of-the-century.
826
00:33:26,205 --> 00:33:27,804
One of their most popular
signs featured a kelly girl.
827
00:33:27,872 --> 00:33:29,939
In the 1920s, women's
independence
828
00:33:30,009 --> 00:33:32,009
Was getting a huge push,
and kelly's advertisement
829
00:33:32,211 --> 00:33:35,145
Was forward thinking and
controversial in a positive way.
830
00:33:35,214 --> 00:33:38,081
These signs, unfortunately,
don't feature the kelly girl,
831
00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:39,983
But they're still valuable
and highly collectable.
832
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:42,352
One, two.
833
00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:43,487
500 apiece.
834
00:33:43,689 --> 00:33:45,488
- Okay.
= you'd do that?
835
00:33:45,557 --> 00:33:46,623
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
836
00:33:46,692 --> 00:33:48,091
- We're moving now.
- Cool.
837
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,560
- This is not a porcelain sign,
this is a painted sign.
838
00:33:50,629 --> 00:33:51,828
But they're new-old stock.
839
00:33:51,896 --> 00:33:53,163
They'd never been
distributed before,
840
00:33:53,232 --> 00:33:54,898
They never been hung on a wall.
They're in great condition.
841
00:33:54,967 --> 00:33:57,000
Let's see if there's
anything else here, mike.
842
00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:03,707
- I was cleaning up a property,
843
00:34:03,775 --> 00:34:06,843
And this is what
I found there.
844
00:34:06,912 --> 00:34:09,912
- Ha-ha! Got some
turquoise in here, okay.
845
00:34:09,981 --> 00:34:12,248
- Yeah, and there's
other stuff in here...
846
00:34:12,317 --> 00:34:13,517
- Oohh...
847
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,718
- Lots of shiny.
- Awesome.
848
00:34:15,788 --> 00:34:18,455
Look at those,
lots of cabochon...
849
00:34:18,657 --> 00:34:20,724
Ooh! Turquoise cabochons.
850
00:34:20,926 --> 00:34:23,660
Mike wolfe does
love some turquoise!
851
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:26,129
So these are
turquoise cabochons.
852
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:29,666
And they look like there's
all different kinds of them.
853
00:34:29,868 --> 00:34:31,734
- So would you set
that in jewelry?
854
00:34:31,804 --> 00:34:33,670
These are ready to
set in jewelry.
855
00:34:33,872 --> 00:34:35,205
The cabochons are
a polished stone.
856
00:34:35,274 --> 00:34:37,607
And usually they're flat on the
back so you can just set them
857
00:34:37,676 --> 00:34:38,942
Right into a jewelry setting.
858
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:41,811
You got a bunch of raw
turquoise here too.
859
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,880
The raw turquoise is found
as a rock,
860
00:34:43,949 --> 00:34:47,217
And it has a beautiful
organic shape to it.
861
00:34:47,285 --> 00:34:49,953
I'm going to give you the best
offer I can, but keep in mind,
862
00:34:50,155 --> 00:34:51,488
I'm not a jeweler, but
I am going to have a jeweler
863
00:34:51,556 --> 00:34:52,488
Take a look at them.
864
00:34:52,557 --> 00:34:55,025
And if I'm off in price,
865
00:34:55,227 --> 00:34:56,493
I will definitely reach out
to you and let you know...
866
00:34:56,695 --> 00:34:59,162
- Ok.
- And fix that.
867
00:34:59,364 --> 00:35:02,165
- Cabochons are really hard to
price, because you have so many
868
00:35:02,234 --> 00:35:05,768
Different types of turquoise,
and so many different styles.
869
00:35:05,838 --> 00:35:06,836
A wholesale price for a whole
sheet,
870
00:35:06,905 --> 00:35:08,772
I would say would be right
around 50 bucks.
871
00:35:08,974 --> 00:35:13,843
So if we do 50, 50, 50,
that's 150 here.
872
00:35:13,912 --> 00:35:17,914
And then 250 for the jar
of raw turquoise.
873
00:35:17,983 --> 00:35:20,984
- So we're looking at what, 400?
- 400's perfect.
874
00:35:22,921 --> 00:35:25,856
- Yeah, I will do that.
- Yeah okay, cool.
875
00:35:26,058 --> 00:35:27,924
And I'll let you know if
it's anything different.
876
00:35:27,992 --> 00:35:30,127
- I was so impressed
with dani's knowledge.
877
00:35:30,329 --> 00:35:34,998
It was neat to see how wide of
a knowledge they have on things.
878
00:35:35,066 --> 00:35:38,735
You know, anywhere from
old signs to jewelry.
879
00:35:38,804 --> 00:35:40,870
And paintings.
- I'm super stoked.
880
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:42,672
I think mike's going
to be really excited.
881
00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:44,007
I know he really
loves turquoise.
882
00:35:56,221 --> 00:35:59,422
- So I've been collecting for,
since I was 10 years old.
883
00:35:59,490 --> 00:36:01,091
- I got that bug.
884
00:36:01,293 --> 00:36:04,027
- Whenever you're collecting,
you start gathering stuff up
885
00:36:04,229 --> 00:36:06,830
That you're not in love with.
- I do that all the time.
886
00:36:07,032 --> 00:36:08,698
- And it's time for
somebody else to see it.
887
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:09,899
This is one of them.
- That's cool.
888
00:36:09,968 --> 00:36:12,636
Yeah, see how this one's
got the blue on it?
889
00:36:12,704 --> 00:36:14,771
- Yeah, and not the- the...
890
00:36:14,839 --> 00:36:15,838
- See, the other one
was painted.
891
00:36:15,908 --> 00:36:17,840
I think that other
one was painted over.
892
00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:19,976
I've seen a million
rexall drugs signs.
893
00:36:20,044 --> 00:36:21,778
But this is a version
that I've never seen.
894
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:24,046
You weren't kidding.
This one is nicer.
895
00:36:24,115 --> 00:36:26,783
Usually when you find these,
it's just the sign here.
896
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,918
- Oh really?
- Just the oval piece.
897
00:36:28,987 --> 00:36:31,854
Double bullnoses.
With stainless steel trim.
898
00:36:31,924 --> 00:36:33,590
I mean, this thing
was art deco as can be.
899
00:36:33,659 --> 00:36:35,124
But the bigger stuff is so hard.
900
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:38,195
You got to find guys that with
higher ceilings, you know.
901
00:36:38,397 --> 00:36:39,795
(sighs)
902
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:41,531
I mean, the neon alone
on this thing
903
00:36:41,733 --> 00:36:42,732
Is going to be astronomical.
904
00:36:42,801 --> 00:36:45,534
Can you lean this
out a little bit?
905
00:36:45,604 --> 00:36:46,736
- It's pretty dang heavy.
906
00:36:46,938 --> 00:36:48,738
- There's another sign
behind here too.
907
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:50,807
- Oh heck, I forgot
about that one.
908
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:52,608
- All the insulators are in
here,
909
00:36:52,677 --> 00:36:53,610
None of them are broken out.
910
00:36:53,678 --> 00:36:54,811
I mean, that's a big plus.
911
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,346
This sign's got a couple
whammies on it,
912
00:36:56,548 --> 00:36:58,614
But not that bad.
913
00:36:58,683 --> 00:36:59,749
I mean, this isn't too bad.
914
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:02,752
This is some kid
throwing rocks at it.
915
00:37:02,954 --> 00:37:05,155
- That just adds to
the patina, right?
916
00:37:05,357 --> 00:37:06,990
2,500.
917
00:37:09,962 --> 00:37:12,562
For me, it's always about
finishing a project.
918
00:37:12,631 --> 00:37:13,896
Putting this back together,
919
00:37:13,966 --> 00:37:16,699
And then getting it
back out to the public.
920
00:37:16,768 --> 00:37:19,769
So you're probably
looking at 22,
921
00:37:19,837 --> 00:37:21,905
$2,500 just to get
the neon done.
922
00:37:21,973 --> 00:37:23,039
But if you can imagine
this thing lit up.
923
00:37:23,108 --> 00:37:26,576
I mean, this thing was
a showboat back in the day.
924
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:27,911
- I bet. Yeah.
- But...
925
00:37:27,979 --> 00:37:29,912
I mean, by the time
I'd be done with it,
926
00:37:29,982 --> 00:37:32,015
I'd have 5 grand in it,
maybe a little more.
927
00:37:33,584 --> 00:37:34,784
- You're at 25 on it?
928
00:37:34,853 --> 00:37:35,986
- The only reason I'm at 2,500
on it,
929
00:37:36,188 --> 00:37:39,189
I think the end-of-the-road on
this sign is probably...
930
00:37:39,391 --> 00:37:40,323
6- 6,500.
931
00:37:40,392 --> 00:37:42,993
How about 2,600?
932
00:37:47,598 --> 00:37:49,265
What's this thing say?
933
00:37:49,334 --> 00:37:51,001
Alright...
934
00:37:55,606 --> 00:37:56,873
'stop-wear lubrication.'
935
00:37:56,942 --> 00:37:59,142
- So it doesn't show
any name on it though?
936
00:37:59,211 --> 00:38:02,011
- No. They just, they made
different signs for everything.
937
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,681
You know, stop-wear
basically was a lubrication.
938
00:38:04,883 --> 00:38:07,016
I've never seen
this sign before.
939
00:38:07,085 --> 00:38:10,487
It's a little bit beat-up,
but still, it exists.
940
00:38:10,555 --> 00:38:11,988
You're at 26 there.
941
00:38:14,893 --> 00:38:17,994
Make it three grand,
for the pair.
942
00:38:19,698 --> 00:38:21,097
And the only reason I'm at that,
943
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:24,000
Because that's got a crease
and the damage in the end of it.
944
00:38:26,771 --> 00:38:28,004
- So four for that, then?
- Yep.
945
00:38:31,909 --> 00:38:33,576
- Yeah, what the heck.
- Three grand.
946
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:35,244
Let's go find danielle.
947
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:38,915
She's wanting to get into a lot
of mischief on these properties.
948
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:40,182
- She's a little easier
to work with too.
949
00:38:40,251 --> 00:38:42,252
- Oh my gosh... I'm going to
have to talk to her about that.
950
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,987
(laughs)
951
00:38:51,929 --> 00:38:54,063
- How far apart were we
on the gas pump?
952
00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:56,333
I told you what I thought
the retail number on it was.
953
00:38:56,535 --> 00:38:59,068
Like 18 to 2,000.
954
00:38:59,137 --> 00:39:02,072
But the cylinder does have a
crack, and there's some...
955
00:39:02,274 --> 00:39:04,607
Here's the deal, all visible
gas pumps are hard to find.
956
00:39:04,676 --> 00:39:05,809
I mean, I'd like to have it.
957
00:39:06,011 --> 00:39:08,611
What would be your
bottom number on that?
958
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,013
Like how far apart were we?
959
00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:15,985
I'd like to get 1,250 for it.
960
00:39:18,623 --> 00:39:19,622
- We're getting closer.
961
00:39:19,691 --> 00:39:21,291
- Yeah.
- Getting closer...
962
00:39:21,493 --> 00:39:22,992
- How about...
963
00:39:25,563 --> 00:39:27,430
(chuckles)
- no.
964
00:39:27,499 --> 00:39:30,367
- How about 1,200?
965
00:39:30,569 --> 00:39:33,369
- And 50.
(laughs)
966
00:39:33,438 --> 00:39:35,371
Alright, 1,250.
967
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,906
- Good job.
968
00:39:37,108 --> 00:39:39,041
- You got to take her to
the swap meet with you.
969
00:39:39,110 --> 00:39:41,043
- I almost felt like letting
her negotiate for me.
970
00:39:41,112 --> 00:39:43,646
This is great. I didn't know
she had all this in her.
971
00:39:43,714 --> 00:39:45,715
The negotiating side of her.
972
00:39:45,917 --> 00:39:47,450
- I've got some
of my daddy in me.
973
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:48,852
- Woo! There you go.
974
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,519
- When I was with my dad going
around,
975
00:39:50,588 --> 00:39:52,722
I knew how he negotiated.
976
00:39:52,791 --> 00:39:54,657
And he never went
for the top price.
977
00:39:54,726 --> 00:39:56,860
He would always negotiate down.
978
00:39:56,928 --> 00:40:00,463
Today, I negotiated up,
instead of down.
979
00:40:00,532 --> 00:40:01,998
- Alright, I got to ask.
980
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,200
I understand you want to hang
one of the cougar signs.
981
00:40:04,268 --> 00:40:07,203
Which is awesome. You're going
to hang it on this property.
982
00:40:07,272 --> 00:40:08,938
It'd be neat to get one back out
in the hobby, where it's like,
983
00:40:09,007 --> 00:40:11,674
People are talking about it,
advertising it.
984
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:13,009
I would be interested in one.
985
00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:15,545
- The other one I have is
in the brand new box.
986
00:40:15,614 --> 00:40:17,747
So it's sentimental to me.
987
00:40:17,949 --> 00:40:19,549
- I know.
So you won't even entertain
988
00:40:19,618 --> 00:40:21,951
An offer on the other one.
989
00:40:22,019 --> 00:40:24,154
These signs are part
of his family's legacy.
990
00:40:24,356 --> 00:40:27,690
And he knows once they're gone,
he's not going to get it back.
991
00:40:27,759 --> 00:40:29,692
But... I had him
thinking about it.
992
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:31,627
I did, I had him
thinking about it.
993
00:40:31,696 --> 00:40:33,563
Alright, well I had to try, man.
994
00:40:33,631 --> 00:40:34,964
I had to- I had to try.
995
00:40:35,033 --> 00:40:36,232
- Absolutely, I appreciate
your interest in it.
996

places like this.

So now, to actually be in one,
and to be able to pick it
1020
00:41:24,883 --> 00:41:26,949
And buy a few things,
is pretty epic.

Where am I safe?
